Lena's Future

Hearing Liewen speak, Kuhn breathed a sigh of relief, grateful that Liewen had said what he wanted to say.

Liewen spoke up because he felt that given Laina's talent, she truly deserved to attend the best magic academy.

After the Ernst Institute was destroyed on the Day of Destruction, the best magic academy on the Yulan Continent became the Royal Magic Academy of the Yulan Empire.

Liewen had watched Laina grow up and already regarded her as his own younger sister; he did not want her talent to be buried.

"Actually, I also think it's best for little Laina to go to the Yulan Empire," Kailan said with a smile. "The Yulan Empire has many mages, so it's the most suitable place for her. Of course, if little Laina wishes in the future, the O'Brien Empire will always welcome her back."

Liewen couldn't help but glance at Kailan; the other man's gaze was sincere, and he truly felt that way.

The white-haired old man could only sigh helplessly.

In fact, many talented mages from the O'Brien Empire chose to study in other countries.

Like Linley's good brother Reynolds, who hailed from the Dunstan Family of the O'Brien Empire, he too had traveled thousands of miles back then to study at the Ernst Institute.

"Brother Liewen, are we going to the Yulan Empire?" little Laina looked up at Liewen.

"We?" Liewen was taken aback.

"Aren't you coming with me?" Panic appeared in little Laina's eyes.

"The Yulan Empire..." Liewen thought to himself.

His current physical strength was still stuck at the peak of the ninth rank; to break through, he needed the essence blood and Magical Crystal Core of a Saint Realm magical beast.

There were three places on the Yulan Continent with the most magical beasts: one was the Magical Beast Mountain Range, and another was the Dark Forest, which was located on the northeast side of the Yulan Continent and bordered the O'Brien Empire.

The last place was the Sunset Mountain Range, located in the south of the Yulan Empire.

The Magical Beast Mountain Range had the god-level powerhouse Dylin, while the Dark Forest had the even more terrifying Beirut.

Liewen currently tried his best to avoid both of these places.

The Sunset Mountain Range, however, had no god-level powerhouses, making it the most suitable place to hunt Saint Realm magical beasts.

The O'Brien Empire was to the north of the Yulan Empire, so to get to the Sunset Mountain Range, the Yulan Empire was a necessary path.

"Yes, I will go to the Yulan Empire with little Laina," Liewen said with a smile.

Laina finally set her mind at ease.

"When does Lord Liewen plan to set off?" Kailan asked.

"In a few months," Liewen said. The next witness event was still a few months away, so he had to wait until after that before departing.

Liewen looked at Laina and said to Kailan, "During this time, could you help find a temporary teacher for Laina to teach her how to start learning magic? Don't worry about the cost."

Before going to the Yulan Empire, there were at least a few months left, and he couldn't let them go to waste.

"Lord Liewen is too polite. Not to mention it's your request, there are many people who would want to be her teacher given Laina's excellent talent," Kailan laughed.

"Leave this to me. We have the best light-element magic teacher in the empire at our academy," the white-haired old man said.

"Sorry for the trouble," Liewen said.

"Many thanks, Young Master Kailan, and many thanks, Vice Dean Lanster," Kuhn also expressed his gratitude.

"Thank you!" little Laina followed suit.

"Lord Liewen, do you have a place to stay in Chiyan City?" Kailan suddenly asked. "If not, why not stay at our Daryl Family mansion? Kuhn is there too, and at our place, you won't be disturbed."

Kailan smiled and pointed at the door of the quiet room, hinting at the mages outside.

In Chiyan City, it wasn't just these mages who knew what Liewen looked like; the nobles and wealthy had all seen the Memory Crystal Ball.

"That works," Liewen thought about it, and realized that since Kailan's father was the Left Chancellor of the empire, this status was enough to help him block many people.

Liewen and Laina moved into the Daryl Family mansion.

The news that the White-Clad Light Saint had arrived in Chiyan City was also spread by the mages of the Mage Association.

The Daryl Family mansion was located on Fushi Road in the East City of Chiyan City.

This was where the powerful and wealthy of the imperial capital gathered; after Linley's younger brother Wharton was enfeoffed as a count, he also lived here.

Linley's group had arrived in the imperial capital earlier than Liewen and the others.

At this moment, Wharton was preparing for his duel with Blumer.

Blumer was the younger brother of the Genius Sword Saint Olivier, a ninth-rank powerhouse, and a personal disciple of the War God.

Not long ago, Blumer had also submitted a request to His Majesty Emperor Joanne of the O'Brien Empire, hoping to marry the Seventh Princess Nina, and had even challenged Wharton.

Wharton had accepted.

When Liewen arrived in Chiyan City, there was still half a month left until the duel between Wharton and Blumer.

During this half-month, Liewen stayed at the Daryl Family mansion, never stepping out, and focused on his cultivation.

Kailan did indeed help him turn away most of the people who came to visit.

Only a few, like His Majesty Emperor Joanne, could not be turned away.

At such times, Liewen would step out to meet them.

Laina also began her journey of learning light-element magic.

The cultivation of a mage involves two aspects: the accumulation of magical power and the enhancement of spiritual energy.

The higher one's elemental affinity, the faster the speed of refining and accumulating magical power, while the higher one's spiritual talent, the faster the speed of breaking through.

Lena's spiritual energy is 65 times that of her peers, only slightly inferior to what Dixie possessed back in the day.

This level of spiritual energy is already equivalent to that of a third-rank mage, which means that as long as Lena focuses on refining magical power, she can steadily become a third-rank mage.

Back then, it only took Dixie one year to become a third-rank mage, and it is expected that Lena will not be far behind.

Half a month passed, and the duel between Wharton and Blumer began, but Liewen did not go to the scene to watch.

He already knew everything that was about to happen, so he did not want to waste time on cultivation.

In this duel, Wharton lost and was stabbed in the lung by Blumer's sword.

Linley conceded defeat on Wharton's behalf.

However, Kenyon, the Saint Realm powerhouse of the War God Sect who was serving as a judge, was biased toward his junior brother Blumer and insisted that Wharton, who had a lung injury and could not speak, must concede defeat himself.

This angered Linley, who took action to teach Kenyon and Blumer a lesson.

Meanwhile, Olivier, who arrived a step late, fought Linley to stand up for his younger brother.

The two were evenly matched, and just as they were preparing to unleash their respective trump cards, they were stopped by the Rock Sword Saint Haydson, who was present at the scene.

That day was the first time Linley displayed his Saint Realm strength in front of the public, which also made him famous throughout the Yulan Continent.

After the battle between Linley and Olivier, Olivier challenged the Rock Sword Saint Haydson.

Haydson agreed, and the two would fight a decisive battle on the Chiyan River outside the north gate of Chiyan City three months later.

Liewen was very interested in this battle.

Although he knew the result was that Olivier would lose, Olivier would also receive a blessing in disguise, successfully undergoing a soul mutation after this battle.

A person with a soul mutation can fuse the profound mysteries and powers of different laws, creating power far greater than that of a single law's profound mystery.

Liewen was very curious about this soul mutation and wanted to see it with his own eyes.

Before this battle, His Majesty Joanne made a decision to betroth the seventh princess of the empire to Wharton.

Wharton held an engagement ceremony at his Earl Mansion.

Wharton's Earl Mansion, like the Daryl Family residence, is located on Fushi Road.

Linley had also been staying here ever since he arrived in Chiyan City.

Liewen received an invitation to the engagement ceremony.
