Are you still angry?
Ruoyun turned her head, looked at the teacher who was patiently peeling an apple for her, and shook her head, " Ruoyun wouldn't dare."
"That means daring."
Hearing the teacher's words, Ruoyun was both amused and exasperated. "I really wouldn't dare."
You really dare?
Feeling unable to communicate with the teacher in a short time, Ruoyun turned her head away, no longer wanting to speak.
"You said you weren't angry, but look at you, aren't you angry now?"
Ruoyun felt utterly exhausted. "So, teacher, what do you want from me?"
Her tone was momentarily like a helpless, coquettish plea.
Don't be angry.
"Okay, I'm not angry anymore," Ruoyun said, then couldn't help asking, "So why did you take action? If I left late, would I get beaten by you every day, teacher?"
There was a hint of resentment in his words.
After all, she felt confident she could win her battle against Shuoye.
Suddenly, Magical Girl Liuli unleashed her power, forcing the two to stop fighting and prepare to defend themselves.
The teacher suddenly intervened.
Ruoyun didn't want to lose like this.
Since she had entered the competition, she wanted to win first place, whether it was Magical Girl Liuli or something else, she was determined to win.
Not only will there be bonuses and prizes, but you can also obtain materials for the Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon from the Land of Mirrors, making it a win-win situation.
Therefore, her resistance against her master was the most intense, resulting in the most severe injuries.
Ultimately, they had no choice but to retreat.
"Don't sound so aggrieved," Bai Mei said with a light laugh. "Your master, your master's master, and your master's master's master all went through the same thing."
"Does the Azure Cloud Sect have a tradition of masters beating their disciples? Also, isn't the sect leader the master of the master? Isn't the sect leader the founder of the Azure Cloud Sect? Does the sect leader also have a master?"
"Of course."
They're all in online articles.
"Even without my intervention, you might not be a match for Magical Girl Liuli."
"We'll only know after we've fought them!"
"Silly girl," Bai Mei stuffed a peeled apple into her student's mouth, "What if you get hurt? Don't you still have a mission?"
With a snort, Ruoyun finally said nothing more.
For Bai Mei, it was certainly not about paving the way for the Magical Girl Liuli.
She could tell at a glance that Ruoyun was no match for the Magical Girl Liuli.
After all, she's the sect leader's sister, so it's normal for her to have this kind of strength.
However, it wouldn't be good if Ruoyun's hard-won confidence were to be shaken by the Magical Girl Liuli.
Both are newly promoted magical girls, but the difference in their abilities is so great. Even if Ruoyun is already very strong, losing would be a blow to her.
She didn't want Ruoyun to become a stepping stone for the Magical Girl Liuli.
Let Ruoyun make her move when she has grown to the point where she can truly rival Liuli.
She believed that Ruoyun would not lose to the Magical Girl Liuli in the future; Ruoyun's growth in the Holy Church had far exceeded her expectations.
Therefore, there's no need to further discourage Ruoyun is already quite outstanding.
Bai Mei even somewhat anticipated that Ruoyun would grow to surpass her, surprising her master.
"Master, you're worried about me being discouraged if I lose, aren't you?"
Bai Mei smiled helplessly, realizing she had been seen through.
"I wouldn't." She hugged her master's hand, pressing it against her face after so long, feeling the soft, white palm of his hand. "I just wanted to prove something to you—"
"Yes, I know."
"But Master, are you so sure I can't beat her?"
"After all, she's your grandmaster's sister."
"The sect leader's sister?"
"Yes, it's normal to be a little more capable, don't take it to heart."
"Tch, our Lord of the Holy Church is far more powerful than Master's Sect Master, so it's perfectly normal for me to be more powerful than her in the future!"
"Hehe----"
Having not seen each other for a long time, Bai Mei couldn't help but chat a bit more, asking if she needed money, if she was eating well, and why she was still wearing summer clothes and should change into autumn clothes.
Although she cared about Shuiling and Qian Jing, she was watching over them, and the two students were steadily improving, so there was nothing to worry about.
The two children never slackened in their efforts to win back Ruoyun; they worked incredibly hard.
However, compared to Ruoyun's special training in a complex and difficult environment, it is still somewhat inferior.
The power gained from actual combat always leads to faster progress, especially for magical girls.
However, it's fine for Qian Jing and Shuiling to stay like this.
Everyone has their own choices; there's no need for everyone to suffer.
Furthermore, their individual personalities lead to different levels of adaptability to the environment. Qian Jing and Shuiling follow Ruoyun's path, they may actually progress more slowly.
Ultimately, the best way for a magical girl to grow up is to find what suits her best.
"But Master really stole the show this time."
"If Magical Girl Liuli's championship was won too easily, some people will question it," Bai Mei said casually. "It's good that someone with real merit steps in to set the stage for her, preferably with a bit of drama, so that people will remember it more."
"Yes, that's how it's written in your novels, right, teacher?"
Bai Mei smiled and patted her head, "You're a quick learner."
The sudden emergence of a magical girl with power far exceeding her Full Blossom Bud truly dramatic and incredibly impressive.
Bai Mei's sword strike was incredibly powerful; anyone who has actually witnessed it knows how formidable it is. There's no need to worry about others questioning Keke.
"However, I think the process could be optimized a bit. You could let me go first, show off my skills, and then you, teacher, could come out and defeat me instantly. That way, we can stack the boxes and then let Keke defeat me----"
"It's dragging on too long; the audience will get impatient, and your skills won't build up."
"Cut."
If she could, Ruoyun truly enjoyed this time.
What she used to consider mundane and even somewhat tiresome daily life, she realized after losing it was a miracle no less than the birth of a magical girl.
I wanted to hold the teacher's hand a little longer, to feel her warmth and softness, and to smell her pleasant scent.
She even wanted to snuggle in her teacher's arms, like she used to, and have her clean her ears.
Ruoyun held back.
Then both of their phones rang at the same time.
After exchanging a glance, the teacher and student tacitly separated, each looking at their phones.
" Ruoyun, the Holy Church Walker's urgent mission is to find the Dream Marrow! The Holy Church Walker says all other missions are suspended!"
" Bai Mei, please help."
After glancing at each other's messages, the two simultaneously turned off their phones.
"Ah, another mission has come from the Holy Church. Sorry, teacher, I have to go."
L
"Yes, there are some matters to attend to at the Azure Cloud Sect as well."
Ruoyun got dressed, and Bai Mei tidied up the things on the table.
Neither the master nor the apprentice said anything.
Ruoyun walked to the window, glanced at her teacher again, then thought for a moment, took out two cards from her pocket, and tossed them to her teacher, saying, "Consider this a gift for Qian Jing and Shuiling."
Bai Mei accepted it without saying anything, simply waving her hand.
Be careful on the road.
"Teacher, be careful on the road."
After saying that, one person climbed out of the window, and the other pushed open the door and left.
The once cozy hospital room quickly became empty.
Only the windows swayed in the gentle breeze.
South China, Guangzhou.
As a small town next to Mingxin City, Guangzhou hasn't seen any Witch Association or chaos for a long time.
The competition in Mingxin City was also organized by the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau of Guangzhou.
But Guangzhou is a small place after all. If so many magical girls were to be called in for a war, the whole town might be affected. The Guangzhou Disaster Countermeasures Bureau also doesn't have many people.
If such a large competition were to cause any trouble, they wouldn't be able to manage it, so they simply decided to hold it in Mingxin City.
The result was still very successful.
However, they lost the final championship prize themselves.
Of course, this isn't a big deal, since there's still the main reward in the Mental Image Domain; losing the championship reward is just that—losing it.
While Dream Marrow sounds rare, it only slightly improves one's Personal Reality, far less than the boost that the Mental Image Domain brings to magical girls.
Nobody cared.
Around midnight, a group of people stormed into the Guangzhou Disaster Countermeasures Bureau.
All of the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau's magic arrays and alarm monitoring systems have failed.
The two magical girls waiting in the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau inexplicably fainted.
The rest are mostly ordinary staff. The Guangzhou police force and the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau are separate. Generally speaking, the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau only needs the combat power of magical girls.
Even in case of unforeseen circumstances, a dozen or so experienced security guards would actually be sufficient.
In fact, when that group of people rushed in, they were indeed stopped by the security guards at the entrance.
After taking down the dozen or so men who led the group, the middle-aged security captain loosened his tie and wiped the sweat from his brow.
"Brothers."
Looking back at the remaining dozen or so security guards, the security captain sneered disdainfully, "They think they can overwhelm us with numbers."
The security guards wiped the dust off their faces and then burst into laughter.
"You country bumpkin, don't you know we're the strongest fighting force in the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau, second only to the magical girls!"
"They actually thought they could take down the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau just by having more people!"
"Don't you know each of us can take on a hundred! The most important thing is combat strength, not numbers! Idiots! Anyone who can still fight, stand up!"
Dozens of men roared and fearlessly met the oncoming dense enemy force!
Twenty seconds later.
Dozens of security guards lay on the ground, convulsing.
There are way too many people!
The security captain, struggling to sit up against the wall, looked at the group of lunatics, his baton almost leaving afterimages as he swung it.
Six strikes in one second!
Not only are there a lot of people, but their fighting spirit is ridiculously strong!
You'd think they were on performance-enhancing drugs!
It wasn't until everyone rushed into the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau that the seriously injured security captain managed to get up and sit down against the wall.
Then he took out a cigarette from his pocket, took out a match, and tried to light it, but the match went out as soon as the wind blew.
After trying for a long time without success, he had no choice but to give up, just sitting there with a cigarette in his mouth, looking up at the stars and moon in the night sky, questioning the meaning of life.
Suddenly, a face covered the night sky.
"Is it going to be a hit?"
Yun Ke squatted down and took out a lighter.
Facing his old rival, the security captain scoffed, "Let's light a fire."
Yun Ke Return to Truth lit a cigarette for him, saying, "Long time no see."
"How much do you guys get paid a month?" The security captain took a shaky drag on his cigarette. "Working this hard? We'll be hunted down by all the magical girls in South China. Is it worth it? We get ten thousand a month!"
"We make 80,000 a month."
"Heh, just seventy thousand more, seventy-seven thousand, and you're risking your lives? So cheap—"
"The bonus for this Infinity Fighting event, equivalent to ten months' salary, has already been distributed to us. We also receive a meal allowance of 1,000 yuan per person per day, and there are additional rewards for injured players."
The night wind whistled, and the cigarette in the security guard's mouth fell out.
After a long pause, he looked at Yun Ke with a sincere expression and said, "Look, we're old friends, so why don't you introduce me to someone?"
The security captain finally understood why he had lost.
Damn, so many people, each earning 80,000 a month, plus so many benefits and bonuses.
They have a clear advantage in wages, how can they possibly compete?
What is a salary? It's like a health bar and an energy bar!
These useless idiots can only swing six blows per second? It's a disgrace, a betrayal of the boss's kindness!
If his security captain couldn't deliver twenty blows in a second, he'd feel so guilty he'd chop off his own hand!
"Look at this bunch of useless trash! They're no fun to fight, no speed when chasing, and no power when wielding batons. Let me handle this! I can definitely make the boss happy!"
We'll see.
Yun Ke waved her hand, ignoring the security captain's earnest request to join.
Si Motu is setting up New Witch Association; he doesn't need any more useless people.
" Yun Ke!"
Xilan's voice came from over there, and Yun Ke kicked the security captain unconscious and went over.
Xilan emerged from the surveillance footage. "We've found a clue to the missing item. Retreat. Was no one killed?"
No one was killed.
"That's good. Si Motu said that if anyone dies, he can't protect you. But as long as no one dies, he'll guarantee you can leave South China and find employment elsewhere!"
"Hehe, as long as Si Motu doesn't abandon us, that's good enough," Yun Ke said respectfully. "We are willing to serve Si Motu!"
"Very good, everyone, fall back!"
Following Xilan's order, many members of the Witch Association, well-trained, withdrew from the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau.
As Xilan watched the large group of people emerge, and thinking about how much money had been wasted on them, she said sarcastically, "Nobody's slacking off, is that it?"
"Lord Xilan, we can't afford to be lazy! If we don't get some exercise, how will we be able to eat dinner? Don't you guys agree, brothers?"
"Yes!"
I want to eat a lot of steamed buns for dinner!
"You brat, what are you doing eating steamed buns? You need to change your bad habit of eating staple foods. You can eat your fill of lobster and seafood just as well!"
"Good!"
Then came a burst of cheers and laughter.
Xilan snorted coldly, turned her head away, and decided to avoid seeing him altogether.
Wasting money on this group of people is a complete waste.
From birth, the proletariat drips blood from every pore that is dirtier than Filthy Magic Power. Lazy and ignorant, born children of evil, they parasitize the capital of goodness and squander the hard-earned money of the great Si Motu.
This waste will continue unabated.
Today they want a raise, tomorrow they want no overtime, the day after tomorrow they want a company car, and after that they want to be their own boss—how can that be allowed?
Such concessions will only embolden these useless individuals to push their luck and ultimately erode all the capital of kindness!
Seeing them with so much money is a hundred times more painful than when Xilan had no money!
For Si Motu's sake, they must be made to vomit it all out!
"Reporting to Si Motu, I've found out where the champion's reward went. Someone has confirmed that it was taken by a magical girl, Shuoye— "
Before they could finish speaking, a figure suddenly blocked their path.
Both Xilan and Yun Ke, the two Complete Witch, froze in the distance, watching the ghostly figure of the magical girl.
"I remember the South China Witch Association shouldn't allow unauthorized actions, right? Did you report to headquarters?"
Yun Ke trembled all over, "Vice President Jialan ----"
Unlike Xilan, she had actually been beaten by Vice President Jialan.
Having grown up under Jialan's command since childhood, he harbors a natural fear.
"We... we were acting on Si Motu's orders—"
" Si Motu," Jialan said, not surprised, but looking at the silent Xilan, " Si Motu has now joined the Land of Mirrors. Even if he hasn't betrayed us, he shouldn't have any control over South China, right? This is against the rules."
"I told you, you old fool, give up your position now." Xilan's face hardened. "The vice president should have been Si Motu's all along. You senile old man, do you think you're smarter than me? If you had knelt down and offered Lord Si Motu the vice president's authority long ago, how could you have violated the rules! In the end, isn't it all because you're disloyal, unfilial, unrighteous, disloyal, disobedient, and unworthy—"
Jialan pressed it gently.
A bolt of lightning instantly engulfed Xilan, and the Complete Witch lay on the ground without even having time to react.
"This lackey is getting more and more outrageous." Jialan scratched her head. "It's fucking hilarious."
He then looked at Yun Ke, "Tell me, what exactly does Si Motu want to do?"
Seeing that Xilan had been beaten, Yun Ke dared not be so presumptuous anymore.
" Jialan! Jialan! Si Motu gone mad! He says he's starting New Witch Association!"
Jialan was taken aback when she heard this.
Just as he was about to say something about the bow, he suddenly looked up and grabbed the wand in an attempt to defend himself.
However, the newcomer gave her no chance. A powerful punch, accompanied by a terrifying whistling sound, slammed into her face!
His figure streaked across the night sky like a shooting star, piercing through the tall building before bouncing two or three times on the ground like skipping stones, before crashing into and collapsing a large villa!
Yun Ke was stunned for a moment. She looked up at the vice president who was buried in the ruins, and then looked at the masked boy who slowly withdrew his fist and put one hand in his pocket.
Did you just say that?
Yun Ke's body went limp, and she almost knelt down!
"I'm astounding Si Motu! You're going to start New Witch Association! And she actually disagrees!"
