Full-Time Magister: The Evil Emperor Descends

Qilu, Yantai.

A small house in an urban village near the sea was built there, facing the ocean, making it a great spot for viewing the seascape.

In the courtyard, a kind old lady was lying on a recliner. The afternoon sun shone on her wrinkled face, making her look exceptionally peaceful.

Not far from the old lady, Zhao Chenying, wearing a floral short skirt, stood there. The skirt accentuated her mature and voluptuous figure, showcasing her long, straight, snow-white legs to the fullest. She wore a pair of high-heeled sandals on her jade-like feet.

She was standing next to the old tree in the yard, holding a pair of bamboo shears, cutting off the withered leaves from the tree as she cut, asking questions as she did so.

"Grandma, wouldn't it be better to let these damaged leaves fall off on their own? Why go through the trouble of cutting them off?"

“Girl, raising trees is like raising people. If many bad habits are not corrected in time, they will slowly get to the bone and eventually rot away at the heart.”

The old man appeared to be half-closing his eyes and looking very old, but his mind was remarkably clear.

"Don't be fooled by the fact that these rotten leaves are hanging there; the decaying substances on them will seep into the roots of the tree, causing them to rot. Without roots, a tree is as good as dead..."

She was instructing her granddaughter when she suddenly sensed someone entering the courtyard. The old woman slowly opened her eyes and immediately saw Mo Xie walking in.

"Hey girl, that rascal who's got his eye on you is here again, but this time he's the best-looking one."

The old woman closed her eyes again and said with a hint of sarcasm.

"Uh……"

Mo Xie heard this as soon as he entered the courtyard, and for a moment he didn't know how to reply.

Zhao Chenying turned around curiously and immediately saw Mo Xie and Jiang Feng walking in behind her. A happy expression appeared on her pretty face, and she spoke.

"Moye, Mom, you're here!"

"Feng'er..."

Upon hearing this, the old woman opened her eyes again and saw Jiang Feng approaching. A kind smile appeared on her wrinkled face as she waved to her.

"Mom, I'm here to see you."

Jiang Feng squatted down next to the recliner and chatted quietly with the old woman.

Mo Xie quietly observed the kind old woman, lost in thought.

Yan Shi... should be called Lü Yi, a semi-forbidden spell cultivator, the chief judge of the Chinese Magic Tribunal, and the guardian of the totem Moon Moth Phoenix.

He once served as the presiding judge of the Supreme People's Court of China. He retired in the latter half of his life and now lives in Yantai. To outsiders, he is known as "Mr. Yan".

She and the current Magic Elder Councilor Jiang Xia were husband and wife in their early years, but at that time, Lü Yi's influence far exceeded that of Jiang Xia.

Lü Yi's contribution to the Chinese Trial Committee's current status, including its international respect, is undeniable.

The Oath Tree in the Lingyin Temple Trial Chamber grew from the seeds that Lü Yi painstakingly brought down from the Qinling Mountains.

When Tang Zhong first entered the workforce, Lü Yi was already a renowned female mage throughout the country. During one of his missions, Lü Yi even had the honor of becoming his temporary subordinate.

More than thirty years ago, Lü Yi was already a super-level mage with full mastery of all four elements, but unfortunately, what happened later became a source of heartache, causing him to miss a golden opportunity to further improve his cultivation...

As he was thinking this, Mo Xie suddenly felt two gazes on him. He looked up and saw that it was Jiang Feng and her mother.

Lu Yi stood up from the recliner, walked over, grabbed Mo Xie's hands, and said with gratitude.

"Child, thank you for saving my daughter. I am eternally grateful for your kindness!"

She was still grieving the loss of the Moon Moth Phoenix when she heard the news of her daughter's death from the Zhao family. In a fit of rage, she almost killed Zhao Yulin, but reason prevailed over impulse, and she went to the northern corner of the Scorching Plains to search for her daughter, who had transformed into a Flame Witch.

After that, she searched everywhere for a way to restore her human body, but to no avail, and gave up. She could only visit there from time to time.

Mo Xie could clearly feel the trembling in his hands and quickly said...

"Grandma, I was just helping out as a matter of convenience. Besides, Aunt Feng... Aunt Feng is already repaying me."

“Child, you can call me Grandma Lü from now on. As Feng’er’s mother, it is only right that I do so. If you ever need any help, please call me anytime. Although I have retired now, there are still some things I can decide.”

Lu Yi had already learned about Mo Xie's identity from Jiang Feng, and in his heart, he was definitely a good kid who could be trusted with sincerity.

After chatting for a while, Mo Xie patted Lü Yi's hand and said softly.

"Grandma Lü, actually, besides visiting you, I also want you to meet someone else."

"Oh?"

Seeing Lü Yi's puzzled expression, Mo Xie called out towards the outside of the courtyard.

"Shishi, come in."

As soon as she finished speaking, a gentle woman dressed in a retro Tang dress walked into the courtyard, her beautiful eyes filled with complicated emotions as she looked at Lü Yi.

Lu Yi discovered an extremely familiar aura on Yu Shishi. After carefully sensing it, he instantly realized that it was the aura of the Moon Moth Phoenix!
The next second, memories hidden deep in the soul began to surface in the mind, stimulating the sealed space!
His aged pupils contracted sharply, and Lü Yi abruptly left Mo Xie's side, excitedly running to Yu Shishi, placing his hands on her shoulders, his cloudy pupils gleaming with hope.

"Is it...is it still alive?"

Yu Shishi lowered her eyes, sighed softly, nodded, and said in a low voice.

"It is still alive, but in poor condition. It has been recuperating for more than 20 years and has not yet recovered. It is still in a state of dormancy."

"It's my fault, it's all my fault..."

Lu Yi stood there in a daze, muttering to herself and repeating the same sentence over and over again.

To this day, she can never forget the day she mistakenly sent the Moon Moth Phoenix into the killing array. It trusted her so much then, but…

"Where...where is it now?"

Yan's wrinkled face was now streaked with tears, and she asked in a choked voice.

Yu Shishi's gaze towards Lü Yi was filled with complex emotions. She wanted to speak up for Yue'ehuang and condemn the other party's actions. Yue'ehuang had once trusted its guardian so much, but the other party's actions, due to a misunderstanding, had ruthlessly turned the knife against it.

But seeing Lü Yi's expression at this moment, and remembering what Mo Xie and Jiang Feng told her, that after the other party learned the truth, they were immersed in sadness and guilt for more than 20 years, and even gave up taking the last step to climb to the highest realm of magic, she swallowed the words back down.

Moreover, if that tragedy hadn't happened, she would never have met the Moon Moth Phoenix, nor would she have been able to be reborn. Perhaps her life would have long since vanished in the cold wilderness, leaving this world alone with unimaginable despair.

Perhaps it was all preordained, and leaving it to fate is the best arrangement.

Just as Yu Shishi was about to reveal the location of the Moon Moth Phoenix's resting place, Lü Yi backed down.

"No, I have no face to see it again. As long as it is alive, I am content!"

"It's good that it's alive, it's good that it's alive..."

Lü Yi kept her head down, repeating the same sentence, tears streaming uncontrollably down her cheeks, the atmosphere thick with sorrow… (End of Chapter)
