Level Up in Earth Evolution

As both Alex and Li Wei arrived downstairs, Karina and Maurice became stunned.

"Are you done, Li Wei?" Karina asked doubtfully, watching him come back.

It hadn't even been ten minutes since he had gone with Alex and came back.

"Yes, I am done; it's a little difficult to understand now, so I decided to come later when I have more time," Li Wei explained.

Hearing him, Maurice and Karina nodded.

"Okay, you can come here and ask Alex to show you the books again," Maurice agreed, not caring about scared Alex.

'Oh, grandpa, why are you pushing me into a pit?' Alex shouted inwardly with a crying expression.

He only thought that grandpa was doing this to keep an eye on Li Wei, to see what kind of heinous act he was going to commit, but he was sacrificing his grandson for this.

'Grandpa, you don't love me anymore,' he complained in his mind but didn't dare to say it loudly.

Li Wei, who didn't know Alex's thoughts, thanked Maurice and was about to take his leave when Priestess Irene arrived with her legion with two unconscious intruders.

"Party leader of the Order of the Abyss, please stay for a while. I want to talk with you," Irene said with a smile, after knowing he was going to leave.

Li Wei became stunned and nodded with an unwilling expression.

'What a pity; I thought I would be able to escape,' he muttered in his mind and tried to think of a way to avoid her.

Alex, who was watching him, became happy with his misfortune.

'Looks like his bad luck is no worse than mine. I hope Priestess Irene captures him and takes him far away or lock him up in cell for eternity,' he thought, wondering how he would avoid Li Wei.

As they were both busy with their thoughts, Irene turned towards Maurice and Karina.

"Guild Master, they both came here for your granddaughter with inappropriate thoughts and weren't here to steal something," she informed him and continued.

"But they did sneak inside the city to get information on high-level people. It's probably the God of Destruction cult wants to do something," she added with a serious look.

It was okay if it was just the God of Destruction cult, but now there are seven deadly sins lords appearing too.

The church can deal with the cult, but it won't be easy to fight against the seven lords as they can control monsters and people without letting anyone know.

Guild Master Maurice also showed a serious face.

"Then, Priestess Irene, I will immediately report it to the city lord," he said, taking out a communication tool and sending a few messages.

The situation here was suppressed by Priestess and her legion because of this; the city system wasn't alerted, and no one knew what happened here except the people present.

Irene nodded and glanced at Li Wei with a curious look.

'Why does it feel like he is more interesting than even I think?' she thought, observing him and forgetting about the serious atmosphere.

Li Wei, who felt her gaze, became speechless.

'What am I, a beautiful monster?' he shouted in his mind with irritation but kept his face calm.

'I wonder what she wants to talk with me,' he thought with a puzzled face, thinking about what to tell her.

Just as he was busy, Guild Master Maurice was done contacting the city lord and looked at Irene.

"Priestess Irene, there is a private study room here; you can use it," he informed, pointing at the room.

"Thank you, Guild Master," Irene nodded and turned towards Li Wei.

"Party leader of Order of the Abyss, let's talk inside the study room," she said with a smile, her slim fingers pointing at the room.

Li Wei didn't have any choice and nodded, following her inside the study room.

"Lyla, stay outside," Irene commanded Lyla after watching she was also coming with them.

Lyla frowned at her but obeyed to stay outside as it wasn't something dangerous.

Inside the study room, Irene and Li Wei looked at each other in silence for a while.

'Damn, what kind of situation is this?' Li Wei cursed in his mind.

"Priestess Irene, what is it you wanted to talk about?" he asked with a puzzled look.

He still couldn't figure out just why she wanted to talk with him, even if it's for information; she can just ask others to do it for her.

"Hmm? I have a lot of things to ask, but there is no such endless time," Irene sighed with a disappointed face.

Li Wei almost cursed out loud after hearing this.

'What do you mean by endless time? Do you want to kill me with your questions?' he exclaimed in his mind and tried to think how to end the conversation so he could go home and lie in Li Xin's lap.

'Ah, I miss you, XinXin. If I am not with you, my luck gets worse,' he muttered feeling dejected.

Irene, however, didn't notice his inner expressions.

"Party leader, are you mixed blood?" she asked suddenly.

She was not sure if he is mixed blood or not as the status will only show one race that has the highest genes in his body.

Li Wei became stunned at her question but hurriedly shook his head.

"No, I am human," he replied but didn't ask anything as he wanted to end the conversation quickly.

"I see, so you are human," Irene nodded, her curiosity about him increasing more.

"Then, party leader, are you interested in joining the kingdom or church?" she inquired, making him stunned again.

"No, I don't have any plans to join a kingdom or church," Li Wei replied instantly and looked at her with a puzzled face for which reason she asked this.

Watching his expression, Irene explained.

"I just wanted to know if you are interested or not so I can have a rough guess of what people from your world will do," she replied and looked around.

"Why don't we sit and talk, party leader," she said seating down on a chair and asked him to do the same.

Li Wei unwillingly nodded and sat opposite to her.

Irene chuckled watching his expression.

"Party leader, you must want to know why I am asking you questions, right?" she inquired.

"Yes, I want to know," Li Wei nodded with a serious look.

With his fake status, he didn't think she would be able to see through him unless she is over level 400.

Because of this, he became puzzled for why she is asking him questions if she didn't know anything about him.

"Party leader, I have the ability to see the spirits around everyone, and I can observe that you have good affinity with them even if you are only level 30," Irene explained, watching his expression.

Hearing her, Li Wei understood what happened.

Even if he locked his level, his spirit attributes won't get locked and will stay as it is to let him use more attributes even at a low level.

It wouldn't have been a problem even if he kept it like this, but his bad luck kicked in inviting the priestess who has the ability to see the spirits.

'Damn my bad luck,' he cursed in his mind and wanted to make an excuse, but he stopped.

"Priestess Irene, why do I have an affinity with spirits?" he asked making a confused face.

He can give her an excuse from the books he read in the library, but she might think he came prepared to hide his secrets and will ask him more questions.

Because of this he feigned ignorance which made Irene disappointed as she was hoping he would give an excuse.

"The spirits are the ones who provide us mana and allow us to use the skills; you can say it's a part of the world."

"As for having an affinity with them, it's normal for the person who is blessed by gods and different races favoured by the spirits."

"You might be one who is favoured by them for some reason," she explained.

Li Wei nodded at her, making an understanding expression.

He too knew about the spirits, but he was sure he didn't have any affinity with them.

It was only because of his high spirit attribute she misunderstood about this.

She once again asked some questions, but she has to stop as her legion was waiting outside.

"Party leader, we should talk once again someday," Irene said before leaving the study room.

Li Wei heaved a sigh of relief as she left and felt a little puzzled about the questions she asked him.

It was all about his future, what he is going to do or not.

"Anyway, it's not like what I said is all true," he murmured and also left the study room while hoping they wouldn't meet again, at least until his level isn't higher than hers.

When he came outside, the priestess already left with her legion, and he too did the same after informing the guild master.
