Chapter 17 Hurt

Ao Ertian was confused and sat on the amphitheater. He looked at Li Xiyan in disbelief. She hadn't told Ao Ertian at all. causing Ao Ertian to begin to feel paranoid.

"Since when... that Sister Xiyan work in the center?”

Ao Ertian did not even know where Li Xiyan was working in the testing center. But of course, to stand on this podium her noble rank had to be at least a Balon rank.

“Why didn't Sister Xiyan tell us anything? What does that mean?”

Ao Ertian didn't understand. Why did she cover it up, or if she didn't conceal it, then why didn't she tell him or her family?

“Is Sister Xiyan going to leave us?”

Ao Ertian looked at Li Xiyan who was standing on the podium with a paranoid expression. and full of worry.

Li Xiyan looked around the amphitheater. She was waiting for the officers to follow those who passed the trials here. but in the meantime, She often looked at Ao Ertian. She was expecting sparkling eyes from Ao Ertian. She wanted her younger brother to look at her with excitement.

The eyes that Ao Ertian had given her now were filled with sad eyes. frightened eyes and eyes filled with confused feelings.

Those feelings were passed on to Li Xiyan. She was very shocked. She didn't think Ao Ertian would look at her with such eyes.

“Have I done something wrong?”

Li Xiyan bit her lip slightly. She wanted to jump off the stage. and immediately went straight towards Ao Ertian

Ao Ertian at this moment had many negative thoughts popping into his head. Since childhood, he was always bullied. And only his sister took care of him. He trusted her very much. too much actually.

His feelings were sensitive to these things. that she refused to tell him and let him know that by himself It made him feel insecure. make him feel bad.

“Why didn't Sister Xiyan tell me? Does she want to surprise me? Impossible, Sister Xiyan looks like she should have been working here for a while now. I never know it before my mana awakened. If I didn’t awaken my mana. Will she tell me?”

Ao Ertian didn't know what to think. He didn't want to think of anything negative. He hoped that his Sister Xiyan would have a good answer for him later.

Ao Ertian thought and thought until the stage began to shine. sets him out of thought. He looked at Li Xiyan who was standing on the podium. Looking at them like a swan, Ao Ertian thought that without them it would have been better for her future.

"We're just a burden."

Ao Ertian sighed.

And while Ao Ertian was feeling bad, Another young woman appeared on the stage. And of course, she was Hong Yan.

“Congratulations to everyone who passed the test. Everyone should know me well. So I will not introduce myself. Everyone who was brought here was a candidate. Now it will be an adornment ceremony. The person who will adorn us today is none other than Vice-Commander Li Xiyan, please pay your respects she well deserved.”

Hong Yan briefly explained after coming onto the stage. This introduction made Ao Ertian's eyes even more open. He looked at Li Xiyan with disbelieving eyes.

"Vice-Commander what does she mean. She isn’t working for the center but the military? Wasn't she already rejected it?”

Ao Ertian felt the urge to walk straight to the podium and ask her now. but He tried to keep it cool and try to think about it from a good perspective. Li Xiyan would definitely never keep this a secret from him.

Li Xiyan, when Hong Yan introduced herself, placed her right hand on her left chest and spoke in a strong voice.

“I'm Vice-Commander Li Xiyan pleased to meet everyone. Today I'm here to decorate the ranks for those of you who passed the test…”

Ao Ertian felt as though Li Xiyan standing on the stage was not the sister he knew. It was too heavy for him.

“At this point, an introduction would be enough. Applicant No.1019, who passed the Gold Rank Wizard Test, is invited to come to the stage. Ao Ertian"

The first person to be announced to receive the first rank was none other than Ao Ertian. Li Xiyan didn't know that the first name she would call was Ao Ertian. She looked at the spot where Ao Ertian was sitting. But Ao Ertian, even though she had called his name, he didn't react at all. as if he was frozen

“Applicant No.1019, please come on stage.”

The officer called again. But no matter what, Ao Ertian didn't move. until the third call. He just stood up and looked slightly at Li Xiyan. before facing the exit and don't go up to the stage

“……”

No one thought that he would walk out of the room and go out to the exit without looking back.
