Level Up in Earth Evolution

Chapter 189: Beat That Bad Bully

Just as Li Wei and everyone arrived in the training room, Inquisitor Lucius, who has finally gotten rid of the explosives, noticed that Lyla hadn't reported to him in this hour.

"What happened? Is there some problem?" he thought with a frown, and tried to contact her with a communication tool, but there was no response from her.

This made him frown even harder, and he decided to ask Ava about it. She was Lyla's companion and also the second-in-command of the priestess legion, so she might know something.

But all he got was that Lyla left half an hour ago, saying she has private work to do and hasn't returned yet.

Knowing this, Lucius frowned as he wondered what it was, but he didn't care too much, thinking it might be some personal work or she was investigating something in secret.

The thought of Lyla getting kidnaped by Irene never crossed his mind, the same for Ava and others. However, Ava thought she might be visiting her future husband Li Wei to talk about some important stuff.

She didn't mention this to Lucius as it was something secret; if not, the old man would be flying to Li Wei's villa with questions.

But nothing like that happened, and no trouble came toward Li Wei and them as they started to spar with each other.

However, Li Wei wasn't training yet because Irene decided to teach Li Xin and others first before sparring with him.

So now Li Wei and Lyla were alone, sitting on the bench with just a few inches of distance between them.

"Miss Lyla, is there something you want to talk about?" Li Wei inquired with a puzzled face as Lyla didn't follow Irene and stayed here with him.

Hearing this, Lyla hesitated a little before nodding.

"Li Wei, you have revealed your strength to those nobles, and they will definitely inform their families, because of this you might get visits from them, and there might be even some trouble. So, I was thinking of letting two of my subordinates stay here and protect you."

"With them around, the nobles won't be able to cause any trouble, and because of the non-disclosure contract, your secrets will stay safe, as my subordinates are all under Airin's command," Lyla explained with a suggestion.

Hearing this, Li Wei didn't reject her and pondered for a while before replying.

"Miss Lyla, are you planning to reveal what happened between us?" he inquired with a frown.

If she wanted to send someone to protect him, then she had to do it openly, where many people would ask why she did it, and the best way to deal with their questions is to declare that she is physically in contact with Li Wei.

For Li Wei, it wasn't too problematic, but for Lyla, this was filled with a lot of problems, and Li Wei hoped this wasn't the case. However, Lyla didn't seem to care about it and replied with a yes.

"Yes, you are right. I will reveal what happened between us, but there is no need to worry about marriage, because with how fast you are becoming stronger, my family won't be able to force you, and you can just reject it directly after getting strong enough," Lyla explained with a calm look.

Hearing this, Li Wei didn't even hesitate and bonked her head with his fist without any mercy.

"Ouch, Li Wei, why did you hit me?" Lyla complained loudly, rubbing her head with tears as Li Wei didn't hold back his strength at all, making her feel stinging pain on her head.

However Li Wei didn't care about this and looked at her with irritation.

"Miss Lyla, do you even know what will happen to you if I do that? Do you think people and your family will still love you after all of this?" he asked, gazing into her pink eyes with anger, making Lyla go silent and tremble a little.

She did think of this, but what? Did it change her future by not doing this? No, it remained the same because Li Wei wouldn't marry her, so there was no need to think of the consequences that she would be facing anyways.

So, she regained her calm and gazed back into his eyes with a glare.

"Li Wei, you cannot hit me for no reason. Also, I am planning to follow Airin to the high-level world, so the people in this world won't matter to me, and with the deeds of heroes and sages, they will soon forget a small person like me."

"As for my family, they will not care too much because I will be in the high-level world by then," Lyla explained with a calm tone, making Li Wei irritated again and shook his head at her.

"Miss Lyla, stop making it like there are no problems for you, and there is no need for you to do that. I know what troubles will be coming, and I am prepared, so don't worry about it," he affirmed, looking into her eyes deeply while calming his inner emotions down.

He was feeling guilty and irritated because she was ready to give up her reputation for him, who has been in contact with her only once or twice.

He didn't understand why she was going to such lengths just because of her family rules. If she really did as she said now, then he wouldn't be able to pay her back ever.

Because of this, he also regretted about not dodging at that time so this wouldn't have happened, and she would not end up with someone as hopeless as him, who is not willing to marry her.

Thinking of this, he sighed inwardly, while Lyla, who heard him, frowned with doubt.

"Li Wei, are you sure you can take care of those nobles? Let me tell you, it will not be easy, and you might have to reveal yourself as Lucifer," she explained, still worried about this.

Hearing her, Li Wei didn't know what to say and flicked her forehead lightly.

"Miss Lyla, stop worrying about me because I am prepared for those nobles' every trick. Also, if you say something about this again, then I am going to hit you very hard until you accept what I say," he warned with a threat, making Lyla glare at him with anger.

"Li Wei, you are taking those nobles too lightly. Also, stop touching me. I hate when a man even tries to get close to me, so if you try it next time, I will be the one who will hit you very hard until you accept what I say," she stated with irritation, making Li Wei speechless.

But before he could say something, someone intervened in their conversation.

"Hey, can you stop your lovers' quarrel here? Do you know my sisters can't train because both of you are quarrelling so loudly?" Irene complained with a bothered look, pointing at Li Xin and others who were hearing their conversation with interest.

"Miss Irene, this is not a lovers' quarrel. Also, weren't you the one who told them to listen to us?" Li Wei asked with a calm look, clearly knowing she was the culprit who enticed Li Xin and others to eavesdrop on them.

He knew this already, but he didn't have time to deal with this because he was busy assuring Lyla seriously as he didn't want to owe a debt that he couldn't pay back, so he didn't care about them hearing their conversation and remained calm.

But unlike him, Lyla was embarrassed as she failed to sense them due to her extensive worry about Li Wei, which she herself didn't expect that she will be worried that much.

Thinking of this, she blushed faintly and glared at the culprit who was smiling at her with hidden meanings.

"Priestess Irene, stop pulling jokes and don't look at me like that. I was just worried about Li Xin and others who might get dragged into the fight with nobles," she asserted, giving an excuse with a calm face.

Hearing her, Irene chuckled, knowing this wasn't the case, however, she didn't expose her.

"Lyla, there's no need to worry too much about them because Brother Wei has his ways to deal with this."

"Also, if you are thinking of helping him, then why don't you spar with Brother Wei using your necromancer class so he can be prepared to fight any dark factions in the future?" Irene suggested, making both Lyla and Li Wei stunned.

(Airin! What are you saying? When did I say I will spar with him?) Lyla complained through telepathy.

But Irene didn't care.

(Lyla, you promised me to take revenge on Li Wei, so now it's time to fulfill it and beat that bad bully who wronged me in various ways,) Irene stated with a hint of resentment, remembering how he was stealing her pillow and wasn't giving snow.

Hearing her, Lyla became speechless as her mouth twitched a little.

(Airin! You just wait,) she shouted with irritation as she saw Li Wei and others looking at her with expectation.

If it was just Li Xin and others, she would have said no, but with Li Wei among them, she felt uncomfortable to refuse.

The reason was none other than her family's teachings, where she was taught how to shower their husband with love in all various ways and also not to refuse any kind of requests.
