Asking for a Spirit Seed Isn't Too Much, Right?

The reason Song Jie had come clean with Mo Fan was that he would soon be dueling Mu Yuang, which would also expose his Innate Dual Element.

So this time, he had nothing worth hiding and simply told him what he knew.

However, seeing Mo Fan's awkward expression, he had no idea what the guy was thinking.

Zhang Xiao Hou returned from outside and, upon seeing Mo Fan like this, suddenly asked, "Brother Fan, what's wrong with you?"

"Nothing."

Mo Fan shook his head and looked at Song Jie. "Song Jie, I hope you won't tell anyone yet."

"Don't worry. I've kept your secret for three years already, so I definitely won't tell anyone else," Song Jie said.

"Thanks."

Mo Fan nodded to Song Jie in thanks.

Zhang Xiao Hou, meanwhile, looked completely confused, having no idea what had happened.

"Xiao Hou, let's go out and eat."

As soon as Mo Fan finished speaking, Zhang Xiao Hou said goodbye to Song Jie, and the two of them left the Dormitory.

After they left, Song Jie did not continue cultivating. Instead, he picked up his phone.

When he opened the chat page, he saw that Tang Yue and Zhan Kong had sent him messages from time to time.

Song Jie merely gave them a quick look, replied, and put down his phone.

Both of them wanted to recruit him into the Military Department and the Judgment Society, but he had declined them all.

He still wanted to be free!

A few days later.

Mu Family Manor was holding Mu Yuang's Coming-of-Age Ceremony, as well as his duel with Mo Fan.

Song Jie had also been invited to Mu Family Manor, and Mu Ning Xue had even been sent to pick him up.

Although Mu Ning Xue had fought alongside him before, that had been a long time ago.

"Miss, we've arrived," the driver said, looking back at Mu Ning Xue.

"Let's get out."

Mu Ning Xue looked at Song Jie beside her before getting out first.

Song Jie nodded and got out with her.

At the same time, quite a few people arrived one after another, all staring at the Mu Clan's car.

When they saw Mu Ning Xue step out, their eyes immediately lit up.

She was Bo City's beloved prodigy, not only stunningly beautiful but also possessing talent unmatched in all of Bo City.

Someone asked, "Who's that guy? He actually got out of the car with Mu Ning Xue?"

"You don't know? His name is Song Jie. I heard he's a genius student at Tian Lan Magic High School!"

"Really? What element is he?"

"Light Magic."

"Tch, what's the use of being a genius in Light Magic?" someone said dismissively.

No matter how talented a Light Magic mage was, if he could not make it to the end, he was nothing special!

The reason Mu Zhuoyun had recruited Song Jie in the first place was so that he could stay by his side and protect him whenever danger arose.

Otherwise, there was no need for the Mu Clan to nurture a Light Magic mage at all.

Song Jie followed Mu Ning Xue into the banquet hall, where many people turned to look at them.

When quite a few students saw Song Jie together with Mu Ning Xue, their eyes nearly popped out!

"Holy crap, I never expected Song Jie to come with Mu Ning Xue!"

"Brother Jie is awesome!"

"Has he already joined the Mu Clan? I'm so jealous!"

Everyone watched Song Jie and Mu Ning Xue, discussing them nonstop.

Mo Fan had arrived as well, standing in a corner with Zhang Xiao Hou.

"Brother Fan, Mu Ning Xue looks so beautiful today!" Zhang Xiao Hou said as he looked at Mo Fan.

Mu Ning Xue wore a formal dress today, a dazzling snow-white off-the-shoulder gown.

Her skin was as white as snow, and a blue necklace rested against her alluring collarbones.

Below that was a faint glimpse of snowy white skin—not exposed, yet enough to set imaginations running.

Seeing Song Jie so close to Mu Ning Xue, many of the boys were filled with envy.

Mo Fan said nothing. He was worried that Song Jie might reveal his secret of possessing an Innate Dual Element to Mu Zhuoyun!

If he did, then all of his trump cards would be completely exposed before Mu Zhuoyun!

That man was the sort who would stop at nothing to defeat him. By then, he really would be...

He looked at Song Jie suspiciously, his emotions shifting uncertainly.

"Xiao Jie, you're here? Come over, I'll introduce you to a few uncles." Mu Zhuoyun greeted Song Jie as though they had known each other for a long time.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Song Jie broke away from Mu Zhuoyun and sat off to the side by himself, eating.

The moment Zhan Kong saw Song Jie alone, he hurried over.

"I've given you so long to think it over. Shouldn't you tell me your answer by now?" Zhan Kong asked with a smile.

"Head Instructor, I'm not really interested in joining the military," Song Jie refused.

"Ah, don't be in such a hurry to answer. I'll give you more time to think about it." Zhan Kong was determined to recruit Song Jie.

"Song Jie, the Judgment Society is pretty good too. How about joining the Judgment Society?" Teacher Tang Yue also extended an invitation to Song Jie.

Song Jie was startled. He had not even noticed when Tang Yue had appeared behind him.

"Thank you for your kindness, Teacher Tang Yue, but right now, I just want to focus on my studies and work toward becoming stronger," Song Jie said.

Tang Yue immediately sat down beside Song Jie. The instant her ample backside settled down, it pressed against the side of his hip.

"..." Song Jie sucked in a sharp breath.

"It's fine. Once you finish university, come to me. I'll definitely recommend you," Tang Yue continued.

Since Song Jie wanted to attend university, she could take a step back. After all, he was still rather young; graduating from university would be just right.

Seeing that things were not looking good, Zhan Kong also began talking to Song Jie, even playing the emotional card.

While they chatted, Mu Zhuoyun stepped onto the stage and began speaking.

"Welcome, everyone, to Mu Family Manor for my Godson Mu Yuang's Coming-of-Age Ceremony!"

The moment his words fell, applause broke out below.

"Two years ago..." Mu Zhuoyun recounted the wager he had made with Mo Fan at Tian Lan Magic High School, then finally looked at Mo Fan. "Kid, I'll give you one chance now. If you admit your mistake, I can let bygones be bygones."

Mo Fan stood up and said coldly to Mu Zhuoyun, "Cut the crap. If you want to fight, then hurry up and fight."

Seeing this, Mu Zhuoyun kept a cold face and said nothing, merely glancing at Mu Yuang beside him.

Mu Yuang sneered and nodded. He understood the meaning behind Mu Zhuoyun's look.

"Mo Fan, since you're so eager to die, come with me!"

As soon as Mu Yuang finished speaking, Mo Fan followed him without a care in the world.

Clearly!

The duel was about to begin!

"Come on, let's go take a look too." Zhan Kong patted Song Jie on the shoulder, signaling for him to come along.

Song Jie nodded. Although he knew who would ultimately win this duel, since he was here, he might as well watch, right?

Quite a few people had come to watch the spectacle, all eagerly anticipating who would emerge victorious.

Song Jie sat down with Zhan Kong and the others, but Zhan Kong asked, "Aren't you classmates with Mo Fan? Who do you think will win between him and that guy?"

Song Jie asked, "Is there a reward if I guess right?"

Zhan Kong smiled. "What reward do you want?"

"I'm not that greedy. Aren't I about to break through to the intermediate level? It's not too much to ask for a Spirit Seed, right?" Song Jie demanded extravagantly.
