Jiang Li's Memories / Mysterious Girl

After taking some time to calm down, Ling Mengxue gradually relaxed.

"So, your sister doesn't know yet?"

Fang Zi pondered for a moment. Changing one's identity temporarily was relatively simple, but what about the people around him?

My identity can't be revealed, that's quite troublesome.

Magical illusions might fool ordinary people, but it's almost impossible to fool Magical Girls of Ling Xiaoyu's caliber; she'd probably see through it at a glance.

Furthermore, if one's magic and illusion techniques haven't reached High Tier, they're merely illusions. A single unintentional touch could cause the spell to malfunction, thus revealing the illusion—a highly undesirable situation!

"Hmm, I'll take a look myself later."

Fang Zi couldn't offer her much help with these matters, and Ling Mengxue knew that. She had already apologized and didn't want to stay any longer.

Although Fang Zi wanted Ling Mengxue to stay a little longer, unfortunately, she didn't get her wish.

She probably just felt a little disappointed and continued studying her magic book.

Lately, she doesn't know why, but she has a feeling that something bad is going to happen, though she doesn't know if it's just her imagination.

Ling Xiaoyu had to go help out at the Yanjing Magic Association because of some trouble there, and since there was no one to discuss things with here, she had to put it aside for the time being.

"Xi Yan, are you still in Yanjing? How have you thought about what I told you before? If you really don't like it, just refuse. It's not good to keep them waiting. I'll send you the time and address."

Yanjing University

Luo Xiyan had only been dragged here by Su Xiaoxiao to give the school a tour, but before she even entered, Luo Xuan had already called her.

The other party only replied with these words and then hung up.

After a moment of silence, Luo Xiyan didn't take it too seriously, put away her phone, and quickly followed.

"Xi Yan, what's wrong? You didn't come home last night, you went to your apartment again? Your mother even called my house to ask."

Turning her head slightly, Su Xiaoxiao glanced at Luo Xiyan's fair and delicate face and asked with concern.

In fact, Luo Xuan had sent people to follow Luo Xiyan several times. This way, he could not only protect her secretly, but also be notified immediately if anything happened.

It's always been like this. In the beginning, they were always accompanied by dozens of burly bodyguards, walking on the street with an imposing manner. Which ordinary person wouldn't give them a wide berth, afraid of getting into trouble?

This might be why Luo Xiyan has relatively few friends; it was only after she became Magical Girls that she finally escaped all of this.

Even a Low Tier of Spatial Penetration was enough for her to escape the bodyguards' pursuit; ordinary people simply couldn't do anything to her.

She even cleaned up the trackers and other such items.

From then on, Luo Xuan could only indulge her. When Luo Xiyan was out, he would worry about her not having enough money and give her whatever she wanted.

Of course, Luo Xiyan simply doesn't like being followed. At home, she treats her parents very well, is obedient and sensible, has excellent grades, and is proficient in all the arts, including music, chess, calligraphy, and painting—she is practically perfect.

In layman's terms, it's "the child that other people's parents see in their eyes."

Even with all that, Luo Xuan is still unsatisfied, causing the father-daughter relationship to gradually grow cold.

Shaking her head, Luo Xiyan tried to clear her mind and stop thinking about these troubling things. "It's nothing."

As for meeting that so-called young master of the Xuan Family?

She wasn't interested at all, but her father was right; since she had already come to terms with it, it wouldn't be a problem to refuse him later.

"Alright, alright, stop looking so gloomy. Didn't you promise me? You've been teaching me magic these past few days."

"Yes, but while I'm helping you, I also need to make the most of my time."

Luo Xiyan nodded. This scroll of spatial magic was Hall-Tier Magic, a field-support Spatial Leaping skill that could traverse thousands of kilometers in an instant.

At that time, once the location is known, the distance between her and Ling Feng will be completely zero, so she won't have to endure such agonizing waiting every day.

The difference between High Tier and Hall-tier spatial movement skills is like heaven and earth. The former can only cover a range of tens of kilometers at most, and the cooldown time is long, making it almost impossible to achieve this goal.

There was no other way; she had to take the risk.

Of course, she also felt somewhat guilty about the difficulties the Magic Association had encountered.

Luo Xiyan knew that if she pleaded with Jiang Li, he might actually soften and agree.

However, Jiang Li's position as president of the Magic Association may be replaced, which will definitely make Luo Xiyan feel even worse.

But if it's just some trouble or turmoil, it will at most bring her some worries and make her tired for a while.

Luo Xiyan's eyebrows furrowed slightly. Although she felt very sorry for Jiang Li, she couldn't control herself and didn't know what she was thinking.

Can love truly drive people crazy and make them act recklessly?

Luo Xiyan asked herself honestly, she had never told anyone this, but she had no regrets!

At worst, I can go back and apologize profusely! I'll resign from my post! I'll accept the punishment I'm due!

Luo Xiyan believed that Jiang Li had already guessed that she was the instigator of all this, but she still silently accepted it all and did not want the people from the Magic Association to cause her trouble.

That's precisely why she felt even more uneasy.

Luo Xiyan opened her phone's contact list and dialed the number, but before she could even speak, the other end burst into tears.

"Xi Yan, my little princess, you've finally decided to call me? You're usually so nice, why did you have to do something like this this time??"

"Feel sorry."

Luo Xiyan was silent for a moment, then responded gently.

Because she herself knew that further discussion was pointless, and having made her choice, she had no regrets.

"Never mind, it's okay. Just make sure to come to me if you need anything in the future, and don't act on your own again." On the other end of the phone, Jiang Li began to patiently persuade him.

"Sorry."

"Don't apologize to me anymore! And don't come back, at least not for a while, so as not to arouse suspicion!"

After saying that, Jiang Li hung up the phone without giving anyone a chance to react.

Jiang Li had anticipated Luo Xiyan's prediction regarding this phone call and immediately nipped her in the bud when she thought about coming back to take responsibility; she couldn't bear to do that.

Regardless of their social status, Jiang Li had long regarded Luo Xiyan as his own younger sister.

Although she was only one year older Luo Xiyan, if Luo Xiyan hadn't lent her a helping hand back then, she might have already lost her family and home, not to mention that she later became Magical Girls because of the Magic Contract with the Princess Camp!

Jiang Li's family is now incredibly wealthy; she has no shortage of money, her parents live a peaceful and prosperous life, and she has no other desires.

Luo Xiyan was her benefactor, and in fact, she would agree to any request Luo Xiyan made to her unconditionally.

Gratitude and repaying kindness...

Putting away her phone, Luo Xiyan felt a touch of emotion, an indescribable sense of tenderness.

After calming herself down, she finally stopped thinking about it...

Chapter Thirty-One: The Mysterious Girl

Linzhou City

Blue Sky Garden Commercial Street

After leaving the Azure Sky Catgirl Café, Ling Mengxue did not choose to go straight home, but instead went to "Truth Academy" on the way.

Although it was on her way, she actually had an ulterior motive.

I just felt an itch in my heart, and couldn't suppress the excitement, so I came over.

She usually finds it cozy and pleasant to hide in the bookstore and read when she has nothing to do, but she mainly comes here to buy the book "Astral Mark Girl" that she forgot about last time. If she has enough time, she can also sit down and read for a while.

She enjoys reading, but only because she enjoys the stories in the books.

Joy, pleasure...

Sadness, pain, grief, depression, negativity...

Sure enough, light novels are much easier to read; she was feeling a bit uncomfortable after being stabbed in the back recently.

To avoid attracting attention, Ling Mengxue put on a black robe beforehand, pulling the hood down low to prevent people from seeing her and asking for her WeChat or taking pictures...

It's so troublesome!

Even so, she still attracted a lot of attention walking down the street dressed like that. After all, it's broad daylight, what normal person would cover themselves up completely? Wouldn't that be insane?

Although many passersby found her strange, it was at least much better than under normal circumstances.

There were no onlookers or people trying to strike up a conversation; at most, she received some strange looks, but it didn't have any real impact on her.

As usual, Ling Mengxue found the old man at the front desk who managed the bookstore, and first got a library card for a few hours before going to find the books.

After she left, the old man at the front desk scratched his head, somewhat bewildered.

"That's strange. Is this kind of outfit all the rage lately? I really don't understand what these young people are thinking."

"Oh well, what's the point of me, an old man, worrying about so much? There's hardly anyone around lately, so I can just focus on reading."

The old man sighed. Although the performance wasn't good, it was still acceptable.

After slowly sitting down, he took a sip of the kidney-tonifying tea and then opened the book.

A sideways glance revealed the book he was holding; its cover prominently displayed the six large characters. "Aunt Qiu's Photo Album."

On the other side

Ling Mengxue got the book she wanted and was about to pay, but she couldn't suppress her curiosity. She found a corner by the window and immediately sat down to read it!

It's still early, and nothing should happen to Luo Luo if she stays home alone watching TV. She can go back later.

With this plan in mind, Ling Mengxue didn't think too much about the troubles. The lighthearted and enjoyable plot of the book quickly drew her in, making her linger there.

What she didn't notice was that, just as she was immersed in the wonderful story in the book, a girl dressed in the same black robe as her slowly pushed open the door and entered.

The girl was dressed in a black robe. Apart from a few strands of her sky-blue hair, her fair and flawless face, and her chin, it was impossible to discern her specific features from her upper body.

The aura she exuded was as pure as a lotus in the dark night, untouched by the dust of the mortal world. Even when she wore a black robe, no one could feel any sense of disrespect towards her.

Upon seeing this, our elderly gentleman remained unfazed, merely rising to greet us politely.

He was still clutching the well-worn "Aunt Qiu's Photo Album" in his hand, reluctant to let go!

"Welcome... to our store!"

"..."

"Hey little girl, you're here again. Buying books or just browsing? Go find whatever you need, and pay here after you're done."

"A... 24-hour library card..."

The girl pondered for a moment, then slowly extended her slender, cold, and seemingly boneless fingers, making a gesture: three.

After speaking, the girl turned around almost purposefully, her gaze gently sweeping over Ling Mengxue, who was sitting by the curtains reading a book, a hint of amusement flashing in her eyes.

She chuckled softly, but instead of going forward immediately, she walked to the second bookshelf.

She slowly typed in six sixes as her password before returning the "study materials" that had been completely neglected, and borrowed a few new books along the way! She was in a very good mood!

"Hello, may I sit here?"

Ling Mengxue was enjoying the show when suddenly, a gentle, soft voice, like the chimes of a wind chime, reached her ears, startling her so much that she couldn't help but shiver. Even her long, alluring legs, encased in white stockings, trembled slightly.

That's strange, I'm indoors, why do I suddenly feel so cold?

But who is this...?

Looking at the girl who was wearing a black robe like herself, Ling Mengxue's eyes glazed over for a moment, but her heart started to complain...

Is this girl perhaps suffering from some serious illness, coming to the bookstore in broad daylight dressed in a black robe?

This isn't a comic convention or an idol autograph session, so why dress like this? It can't be for the same reason as me, right?

Despite her thoughts, Ling Mengxue could not help but admire her voice, which was truly beautiful, like a gentle spring, soothing and captivating. She almost couldn't resist it!

It's definitely a 9.9 out of 10! It's almost as good as my own score!

Of course, this doesn't mean I'm narcissistic; it's just the truth.

"It's alright, seats are for people to sit in, sit wherever you like."
