Magic Training

"Miss Su... Miss Su! And this is... Ling Feng's sister!"

When Zhao Ping saw two familiar faces walking towards the inn after getting off the carriage, a smile immediately appeared on his face, along with a hint of excitement.

He had already been waiting there for more than two hours!

Moreover, he got lost and wasted half an hour, so in total, he waited there for the equivalent of three class periods! He was getting really impatient!

However, Zhao Ping had no intention of going against what Ling Feng had told him in the forest.

They are very self-disciplined!

Whatever the goddess says goes!

Of course, compared to Zhao Ping's excited and delighted expression, Su Xiaoxiao was completely confused. Why was he sitting alone at the inn's entrance? Wasn't he supposed to be on a blind date?

Ling Luoluo stood next to Su Xiaoxiao, looking up at Zhao Ping with a similarly confused expression.

However, she knew that Ling Feng had already returned to the inn, so she planned to sneak in later so she could sleep with her brother Ling Feng!

"Hehe..." Ling Luoluo had a good plan in mind, and subconsciously laughed out loud.

Su Xiaoxiao didn't understand why Ling Luoluo was suddenly laughing, but her little face was so cute that she couldn't help but ruffle her hair.

Then, Su Xiaoxiao turned to Zhao Ping and asked him a question.

Zhao Ping assumed Su Xiaoxiao knew what had happened, so he said a few words first. It turned out that neither of them knew anything, which was incredibly awkward.

He had previously thought that Ling Feng might be with Su Xiaoxiao and the others, but it turned out he wasn't!

Zhao Ping immediately recounted the whole story.

It tells the story of how he first arrived in Chongming City and went to the Mu Family's main mansion, the abuse he suffered afterward, how he called Ling Feng from the backyard of the Mo Residence, how he was Star Engraving rescued by Miss Xingke, and how he escaped along the wild forest path!

Zhao Ping spoke vividly and passionately, even gesturing wildly!

It's clear that he was in great pain at the time, and then his surprise and eagerness when he saw his hope showed that he had truly experienced it!

Su Xiaoxiao and Ling Luoluo were both dumbfounded, as if they were watching a monkey perform acrobatics!

However, Su Xiaoxiao understood.

"So Ling Feng left early to find reinforcements? But he already knew I was Magical Girls, so why didn't he look for me? He could have looked for Luo Luo too!"

"Also, where did Ling Feng, the Astral Mark Girl, find this?"

Su Xiaoxiao was having trouble figuring things out; there were so many questions, and the person involved wasn't around...

Afterwards, Su Xiaoxiao briefly told Zhao Ping that they had gone to a banquet with Ling Feng that evening, and that Ling Feng had left early, telling her that he wanted to go back to the inn to rest.

Let's compare and analyze again. So, where is Ling Feng now?

Did he go find reinforcements first, and then come back to rest alone after finding them?

With a hint of doubt, Ling Luoluo, Su Xiaoxiao, and Zhao Ping went upstairs one after another and arrived at Ling Feng's room.

Knock on the door, no one answers...

I called, but no one answered. Even when I called again, the phone was switched off!

Could it be that you left your phone somewhere and it ran out of battery from ringing?!

The score on the plain!!

I called out from outside but no one responded. Were they already asleep? But I was shouting so loudly, surely they could hear me.

Finally, Ling Luoluo couldn't wait any longer and just pushed the door open and went in! Damn it, this person left without even locking the door!

However, that's not the focus right now.

The group entered the room, which was completely empty, with not a soul in sight. Only the bright candlelight on the table flickered slightly in the breeze from the open door.

"Where is he?" Su Xiaoxiao was completely bewildered.

"Elder brother?!"

Ling Luoluo didn't see anyone, and her eyes immediately welled up with tears. She almost burst into tears. After getting closer, she searched the bed and blankets, but found nothing!

Zhao Ping had only spoken to Ling Feng once on the phone from the beginning, and he was completely clueless about what had happened.

"Was the last person you saw that Astral Mark Girl? Did she leave her contact information? Where did you part ways for the last time?"

Su Xiaoxiao knew something was wrong, so she immediately calmed down and asked Zhao Ping very seriously.

"I know where it is, I'll take you there!"

Zhao Ping didn't know what to do either, so he could only do as Su Xiaoxiao said.

But by this moment, it dawned on him... Ling Feng had disappeared!

Damn it, they called for someone to rescue him, and he ended up losing his own identity.

This is absolutely outrageous!

"Waaah... waaah..."

"Ling, Brother Ling Feng is gone. Does he not want Luo Luo anymore?"

"Luo Luo is your own sister, don't leave Luo Luo alone. Luo Luo promises she'll listen to her brother..."

A sound of crying came from behind.

Su Xiaoxiao and Zhao Ping were both startled and completely bewildered!

Su Xiaoxiao reacted immediately and rushed forward to comfort her.

Large tears streamed down Ling Luoluo's cheeks as she sobbed, crouching by the bed like a wounded rabbit, clutching her head and cowering there—a heartbreaking sight!

"Don't cry, Luo Luo, it's okay, it's okay. We'll help you find your brother. If he doesn't want you anymore, I'll beat him up for you!"

Su Xiaoxiao didn't know what to say, so she could only offer this kind of comfort.

"No, don't hit brother, it's all Luo Luo's fault, she always makes brother worry..."

"..."

Zhao Ping was actually shocked the moment he heard what Ling Luoluo said!

Damn it!

Ling Luoluo is Ling Feng's biological sister?! What about all that before...?

"Holy crap?!"

Having figured everything out, Zhao Ping was completely numb.

"Ling Feng, I'll fuck you, you old fool! You even preyed on your own sister, you're a complete beast!"

Chapter Fifty-One: Magic Training

Afterwards, Su Xiaoxiao and her friends didn't waste any time...

The two of them got lost again for another half hour following Zhao Ping...

That's right, the three of them got lost for another half hour, and Zhao Ping was almost beaten to death by Su Xiaoxiao.

Good grief, we already got lost once while looking for the inn, and now we have to go back the way we came, and you've even lost your way?

Are you a fish?

Is your memory really that bad?

Finally, the group found the wild forest where Zhao Ping and Ling Feng had parted ways!

But when everyone saw the mess on the ground, they were all shocked! It was absolutely astonishing!

Under the moonlight, birds flew across the wasteland, instinctively avoiding the stench of blood below, leaving behind only a series of mournful cries.

A bird flew low over a clump of grass about waist-high, its weary wings also reducing its alertness.

Suddenly, it trembled and fluttered a few times before plummeting straight down, landing on the ground that was just soaked in blood. The salty, fishy smell enveloped it, coldly severing its life force.

A Tang sword, gleaming with a dark luster, was stuck diagonally in the ground, hidden in the grass, waiting to snatch the next life.

Everywhere you look is desolate; flowers have withered and water has dried up...

As you get closer, the muddy ground is littered with broken blades, shards of swords, and many unidentified throwing knives and hidden weapons! The scene is somewhat oppressive, desolate, and quite terrifying!

The surrounding area was littered with countless severed leaves and branches, and the trees were covered with sword marks and knife marks!

Obviously...

This place recently experienced a world-destroying war!

Moreover, some smaller trees were actually cut down directly by the sword energy.

The red maple tree had a few pale yellow branches that were sprouting tender green leaves, but now they've all fallen...

Seeing this scene, Su Xiaoxiao was certain that this was definitely not something that could be caused by an ordinary person's battle.

"That knife..."

Su Xiaoxiao wasn't afraid, but when she saw the Tang sword stuck in the mud, she felt it looked vaguely familiar.

She then walked straight over, clenched her two little hands tightly, and managed to pull it out.

Moreover, the mud around the knife was cracked, with a diameter exceeding one meter, which gives an idea of the terrifying force with which the knife cut in.

Ling Luoluo didn't think much of the scene; she was just very confused and bewildered. Her mind was full of thoughts about her brother Ling Feng, and she didn't understand how any of this had anything to do with him.

"This knife... belongs to that Miss Star Engraving!!"

Although Zhao Ping was very scared, he still mustered up his courage and walked over.

"Hmm? Are you sure? If I remember correctly, this should be the basic weapon that all Astral Mark Girl are equipped with, the Astral Engraving Blade!"

As a member of the Yanjing Magic Association, Su Xiaoxiao had fought against the Astral Mark Girl dozens of times; she couldn't possibly be so ignorant as to not recognize even the most basic weapon.

While most Astral Mark Girl wield swords and blades, there are also many other melee weapons such as polearms, chainmail blades, and throwing knives, with the most common being the Astral Engraving Blade and the Star Source Sword...

"Did something suddenly happen to that girl after I left?"

Zhao Ping thought of a possibility, and his whole body suddenly trembled violently. He took the Tang sword from Su Xiaoxiao's hand with a heavy hand, and couldn't help but wipe the bloodstains on the blade with his clothes.

He felt extremely depressed and hugged Tang Dao tightly.

He didn't even know whose blood was on the knife!

"I'm such a jerk! If I had noticed anything was wrong back then..."

"Alright, even if you hadn't left back then, you would have only caused her unnecessary trouble..."

Su Xiaoxiao offered a helpless "comfort," but Zhao Ping felt even worse.

Damn it, even at a time like this, you're still trying to discourage people?!

But now that the last clue had run out, and it was too dark to find anyone, the group had no choice but to return to the inn to make a decision.

Ling Luoluo and Zhao Ping both seemed distraught, and probably wouldn't sleep well that night.

No, it might be that they can't even sleep!

As the pillar of support among the three, Su Xiaoxiao had actually considered some solutions.

However, her current strength is not high, and she has not yet learned many High Tier spells, so she cannot use some tracking spells, which is quite frustrating.

If Luo Xiyan were here, Su Xiaoxiao felt things would be easier. She couldn't help it; she was usually too lazy, and at times like this, she wanted someone to rely on.

Su Xiaoxiao and Luo Xiyan are both students and only have time to study magic at the Magic Association during holidays. They actually joined quite early, about two years ago, so they are considered veteran members of the association.

Normally, in the association, some small tasks are assigned to the newcomers, so they don't have to do anything. It's very comfortable for them, and they still get paid every month without doing anything!

Although neither of them lacked money, they still had to take advantage of things they could for free, otherwise they would waste hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Luo Xiyan is exceptionally talented. In just one year, she has become High-Tier Mage in the Magic Association and has even mastered some Hall-tier magic, making her one of the core figures of the association.

It's pitiful that Su Xiaoxiao and Luo Xiyan both studied at the Magic Association for two years, but Luo Xiyan has already mastered Hall-Tier Magic Magical Girls, while Su Xiaoxiao has only mastered a few Middle Tier spells at most.

Once, if Luo Xiyan hadn't been there, Su Xiaoxiao would have almost been killed by a High-Rank Astral Mark Girl!

The lesson this story teaches us is actually quite simple: it warns us to keep our eyes open and stick close to those who are powerful and influential!

Su Xiaoxiao is quite lively and active; she's easygoing about fighting and killing, but she also wants to pursue her dreams!

She not only won the championship in the SK Time and Space Esports Professional Competition!
