Fortuitous Encounter

Astonished, Carmen widened her eyes as she gazed at Xu Feng. 

"You aren't going to back down?" She asked in surprise. "The party I was with earlier dismissed me quite harshly, so I was sure no other sane players would assist me." 

"Ahem, are you implying I'm insane?" Xu Feng faked a cough.

"T-That's not what I mean." Carmen quickly raised her hands, shaking left and right to deny that was her meaning.

"I'm just teasing you," he chuckled after seeing her flustered look. "Also, don't lump me in with those previous party members of yours. Only those with no skills would dismiss you." 

Unsure of what to say, Carmen kept quiet. After all, even she doubted she could complete the mission, much less someone she just met. 

However, she didn't want to be rude, considering how Xu Feng was trying his best to help her.

'This lass really thinks I'm boasting huh…' Speechless, Xu Feng realized she was indeed not a simple woman.
