Chapter 129 - Oh Second Brother!

"Second Brother!"

Ai Lin exclaimed sweetly. Upon hearing this, Ais, who was facing away from everyone, immediately stopped in his tracks. He turned around to see Ai Lin and a stolid smile appeared on his face.

Like grandfather, like grandson, Long Yi mused, observing how well Ais had inherited Kai Long's stiff smile.

"Back already?" asked Ais.

"Yes, we just returned," Ai Lin replied cheerily, as she took the Dragon-slaying Sword from Ais. It felt heavy in her hand, but Ai Lin still held it steadily. Handling the weight was a challenge, but at least she could manage to lift it.

"Brother Ais!" The long-repressed Alec was relieved to finally see a familiar face. He felt like he had established a good camaraderie with Ais during their recent monster hunt. Even though Ais had treated him indifferently most of the time, Alec trusted that the bond forged by their side-by-side battles was more firm than any other relationships.

"Hello, Alec," Ais nodded politely at him.
