Chapter Thirty: You Stay Behind

  "Nonsense!" Key's magic wand pointed at the door, with a tone of "you don't leave, I'll take action", "No sending off!"

  "I don't! Otherwise, why would Shu Ruo dye her hair? She's wearing colored contact lenses, so she's using black-framed glasses to cover them up." Yun Hai Fan discovered for the first time that he not only had a fearless factor in his bones but also a spirit of reasoning and debate.

  Seeing that Lan Se didn't stop him, Yun Hai Fan continued: "I clearly saw a black hair floating out of her long blue hair, which was pulled off by Xiang Ke during their match. And this kind of beauty mark is something only you can't see. Her current strength cannot use color-changing medicine, and she can only rely on the most primitive things in the Dust Realm."

  Yun Hai Fan's words had barely fallen when Key suddenly made his move, his actions so fast that even Lan Si Cheng hadn't seen them clearly. The magic wand was pressed firmly against Yun Hai Fan's neck, a chill spreading from the point of contact, as if it would take her life at any moment: "Say one more word and I'll kill you."

  Lan Si Cheng wanted to make a move, but was stopped by Yun Hai Fan. Yun Hai Fan signaled Lan Si Cheng to retreat, then closed her eyes and took several deep breaths. Her body began to emit a uniform spiritual energy, and her scattered long hair also floated up with the stimulation of the spiritual energy. She tightly pursed her lips and smiled slightly, slowly pushing away the magic wand under Lan Si Cheng's witness.

  Key inadvertently increased the power of the magic wand in his hand, but felt that the wand was not listening to him at all. Just as he was secretly surprised, Yunhai Fan opened her eyes, and in an instant when no one had reacted, the magic wand tightly grasped in Key's hand had already been grasped by Yunhai Fan. She lightly swung it twice, and the soil and gravel in one of the flowerpots flew up, mercilessly hitting Key's body.

  "It's actually a terrestrial magic." Yun Hai Fan's mouth slightly curved upwards, "Although I didn't make a blood contract with it, you'd better change to another magic wand. Who knows when we become enemies and it abandons you again?"

  "You..."

  "What's with you?" Yun Hai Fan's tone suddenly turned sharp, "I didn't break it and that's already being very kind to you, what more do you want!"

  "If you have the ability, then really break it." Key was not intimidated at all.

  "Hah, you think I don't dare? Cloud Sea Fans sneered with a smile, "Shu Ruo's ice curse technique was learned from you, right? Earth system mages, playing it safe isn't always effective, strictly speaking, you're actually cheating."

  "How are you..."

  "How do I know? Although the Ice Curse has an ice-type magic-created ice coffin as a cover, in fact it is to achieve the purpose of taking away people's minds by creating illusions. Its root is still a type of curse. There is no curse in natural magic, and all curses belong to dark magic and puppetry. However, the curses in puppetry are usually contractual, and except for the Dark Eye, they will not forcibly control people. Obviously, the Ice Curse is a variant of the Soul-Taking Curse in dark magic. Dark magic is forbidden in the country of Líwǔ, and being discovered means being banned from using magic for life." Yun Hai Fan twirled his wand, feeling that its flexibility was still pretty good, "Since Blue is also here, I'm not afraid to speak out. It's up to you whether you want to reflect on your actions or wait for me to report your rule-breaking behavior. You decide what to do."

  "You have no evidence..."

  "Evidence? Ha ha." Yun Hai Fan smiled, "You think this is the Mortal Realm, where evidence relies on threads and clues. Here, just one bottle of potion can make you obediently tell the truth. For such a big event, no one dares to be careless, so for insurance, Luo Ye still has to go through the motions."

  The Parley is the court of the magical community, where rule-breaking magicians are judged. The twelve-member jury consists of randomly selected high-ranking magicians from the country of Lior, including those with the rank of Shattered Star Magician or higher, who deliberate together with the presiding judge. The twelve jurors are determined by lottery the day before the trial, eliminating any possibility of bias or corruption.

  Ji's forehead broke out in cold sweat: "You won't."

  "For the sake of someone's face, I certainly won't." Yun Hai Fan glanced at Blue Lance, although his mouth curved into an arc, there was no smile in his eyes. "Mr. Key, it's just that you might be helping a wolf that can't even feed itself."

  After she finished speaking, she glanced at a certain object that had just been glimpsed on the wall and was now flying off in an unknown direction, probably to report back to its master.

  The magical world is troublesome in this way; the weak can't hide anything.

  At this moment, he also understood what was going on. Following Yun Hai Fan's gaze, he instantly felt the invader's spiritual power, which was a power he had been very familiar with before, but now felt extremely strange. His cold gaze narrowed, it was not the anger and humiliation he had shown when Yun Hai Fan had touched his sore spot earlier, but a calm smile after calming down.

  He looked at Yun Hai Fan's eyes, and his eyes were more sincere than ever: "What do I need to do for you to stay?"

  Yun Hai Fan smiled slightly, revealing two small tiger teeth, a kind of cuteness that was different from the ordinary. She stretched out her index finger and playfully shook it: "The conditions are simple, with generous pay and paid vacation."

  As they left the divination shop, Lances, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up: "Are you okay?"

  Yun Hai Fan sighed with a bitter smile: "The efforts of the past few days have been wasted again."

  "You don't have to force it." Lance looked at Yun Hai Fan, who was staring blankly ahead, and added, "I know you mean well, I just can't bear to see you get into trouble."

  Yun Hai Fan's eyes widened slightly, and her heart seemed to have been lightly patted. She involuntarily curled up the corners of her mouth, but couldn't muster a smile, only awkwardly saying: "Lan Lao Da, I... might not be able to make it to tomorrow's meeting with the instructor, I think I need to go into seclusion again."

  "So, you're not going to accept my gift of clothes?"

  The Robing Ceremony is another tradition of the Quel'Dorei School. Apprentice mages do not have robes, so apprentice mages must receive their robes from their mentors before becoming full-fledged mages, making this a significant occasion for mages.

  Yun Hai Fan sucked his nose: "I'll let my substitute go and get it for me."

  "Proxy?" Lance lowered his head but caught Yun Hai Fan's gaze, full of expectation.

  The next day, Lansheng saw the substitute that Yun Haifan had mentioned. She was a girl who looked similar to Yun Haifan, but with a more demure expression. Her face was humble and polite, lacking the sharp wit and cleverness that Yun Haifan possessed. Her beautiful features were offset by a pair of eyes that seemed distant and lacking in spirit. She smiled brightly, but without any hint of Yun Haifan's usual reserve and cunning, making her seem dull and uninteresting to Lansheng.

  This made him think of Yun Hai Fan, who had been hesitant to decide on a mentor for those few days, and the girl in front of him was no different. At that time, no matter how Ge Hui explained or He Ke persuaded her, she was always hesitant. Lan Si Cheng thought she was just tired, but it turned out they were completely different people.

  Cloud Sea Sail, how many more surprises do you have for me?

  If luck is good today, there will be another one.
