Chapter 16 The Price of Randomly Picking Up Girls
Lin Xin picked at his ear, looking puzzled, and said, "Bai Ling, what did you just say? I didn't hear you clearly."

"fine."

Bai Ling glanced at the incongruous black-haired version of Lin Xin and asked, "Are you a magic apprentice now?"

For some reason, upon hearing Bai Ling's words, Lin Xin felt a strange sensation, perhaps one of disdain.

Shouldn't it?

Shaking his head, Lin Xin gave himself a thumbs up and said with pride, "To be precise, you should call me Lin Xin, the genius who could break through at any time and leap from magic servant to magic apprentice."

"Oh."

Bai Ling said indifferently, "In the end, you're just a first-tier magic servant. No wonder you can't control a second-tier magical beast."

"Um???"

Lin Xin was filled with questions.

its not right!
According to the usual script, shouldn't Bai Ling be praising him as a genius, looking at him with admiration, and asking him if he has any cultivation secrets or insights?
hateful!

This is completely different from what he expected!
Lin Xin stood there defeated, motionless, looking both funny and a little pitiful.

Bai Ling raised an eyebrow. "It can't be that bad, can it?"

"Go away!"

Lin Xin took a deep breath; he was almost driven mad by Bai Ling.

He turned his head away from Bai Ling and said irritably, "Since you look down on me as just a peak first-tier magic servant, then I'd like to ask how much spiritual power you have and what tier of expert you are."

In Lin Xin's eyes, Bai Ling's ability to easily manipulate two magical elements and control a berserk second-tier magical beast was entirely due to the valuable elemental scepter in her hand.

Because the profession of mage is different from the other five professions.

They can more easily draw spiritual power from staves and elemental stones, enabling them to cast spells that transcend their own class.

Lin Xin felt that Bai Ling's situation was similar to his own; without the staff, she could only reach the peak of the first tier at most.

"Where did you get your dislike for me? I'm just stating the facts."

Bai Ling shut Lin Xin up with just one sentence.

"you!"

Lin Xin was so angry he jumped up and down.

"Oh, isn't this Lin Xin, the genius whom the Vice Hall Master highly regards? No wonder we haven't seen him for so long. So he's been getting to know the new girl behind everyone's back?"

A young man, dressed improperly in a mage's robe and clearly several years older than Lin Xin, walked over from a distance with several followers.

His hostile gaze swept over Lin Xin, then slowly moved to Bai Ling.

Upon seeing that Bai Ling was even more beautiful than all the girls in the Magic Temple combined, the boy changed his previously lazy attitude.

He walked over to Bai Ling, straightened his clothes, and gave a greasy smile: "Are you new here? I've never seen you before. Oh, by the way, let's get acquainted. My name is Li Ze, and I'm a magic apprentice."

Bai Ling: "..."

"Pah, you shameless face-obsessed dog."

Lin Xin stood in front of Bai Ling and said disdainfully, "Hey, she doesn't want to talk to you, why are you so rude?"

Seeing Lin Xin, a genius who was always mentioned by his teacher and was constantly being praised as a genius, standing in front of a beautiful young girl, Li Ze felt very unhappy.

He glared at Lin Xin with obvious displeasure and lowered his voice, "Great genius Lin Xin, are you kidding me? It's none of your business if I talk to her."

"boring."

Seeing the tense atmosphere, Bai Ling turned to leave. She was fed up with playing house with these immature kids.

Long Xingyu, why does it take so long to talk to the deputy hall master?

But as soon as she turned around, Li Ze's follower nimbly moved past Lin Xin and came to her side, grabbing her sleeve and saying, "My brother is asking for your name. What are you pretending to be so high and mighty for, you country bumpkin."

This person is a nouveau riche from Haoyue City.

He could tell at a glance that Bai Ling's clothes were not from Haoyue City.

These poor kids who seem to have wandered off from who-knows-where are always easy to manipulate. "Let go."

"Don't let it go!"

Bai Ling took a deep breath, stretched out her hand, and warned the other party with her eyes, "I'll count to five. If you don't let go, you'll face the consequences."

"five……"

“You can count to ten, but I won’t let you go. Our boss is a genuine magic apprentice. What are you, a commoner from the countryside, compared to him? My father said that girls should stay at home obediently and wait for their husbands to come back with honor and money.”

One sentence completely enraged Bai Ling.

"one."

Bai Yu, the temple master of the Haoyue City branch of the Magic Temple, walked ahead to lead the way for Long Xingyu, and happened to witness the conflict that had broken out here.

He watched as Bai Ling unleashed an astonishing burst of spiritual power. The stable elements in the air seemed to have heard their master's call, transforming into various low-level spells that targeted the third-year senior.

The privileged sons of officials, led by Li Ze, were utterly defeated by Bai Ling.

Even when Li Ze realized what was happening and used the spells that a magic apprentice should know, he still couldn't defeat Bai Ling.

In the end, he could only silently take out the fire elemental shield, which consumed the least spiritual energy and had the best effect, and curl up on the ground until the low-level spells that surrounded him disappeared.

This is the end.

Apart from Bai Ling and Lin Xin, the entire Magic Temple grounds were in complete chaos.

The third-grade student lying on the ground was wearing a specially made mage's robe, and his meticulously combed hair was almost gone.

"Senior Long, what should we do?!"

Bai Yu gave a wry smile and turned to look at Long Xingyu, who was stroking his chin, seemingly lost in thought.

"What are you afraid of? As the deputy temple master of the Magic Temple in Bright Moon City, can't you handle the parents of these useless people?"

In private, Long Xingyu revealed his protective side, domineeringly retorting to Bai Yu, his bright eyes staring directly at her.

Bai Yu wiped away his cold sweat. Unable to withstand the pressure from the Divine Seal Knight, he bowed and scraped, saying in a humble manner, "You're right. Your eldest daughter was just exchanging experiences with senior students. They're simply not as skilled as them."

"Hmm, let's test her spiritual power and see which elements she is compatible with."

Hearing Bai Yu personally deliver a verdict on the matter, Long Xingyu nodded in satisfaction, turned around, and headed upstairs.

"Take care, I'll be there soon."

Lin Xin, who was hiding behind Bai Ling, only peeked out when he heard that there was no more movement ahead. He glanced at the few idiots lying on the ground, their fates unknown, and his eyes twitched slightly.

Good guy.

Bai Ling was ruthless; she reminded him of a certain pink-haired female tyrannosaurus.

Could this guy be related to her?
Hearing the commotion upstairs, the students peeked out and saw Li Ze lying on the ground with his henchmen. They couldn't help but clap and cheer.

"quiet!"

Bai Yu arrived at the scene and, with a wave of his hand, teleported away all the people who had fallen to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, Vice Hall Master Bai Yu used magic to restore the scene. Then he raised his head and said coldly, "What are you looking at! If you look again, I will punish each of you to run fifty laps around the main hall."

The students upstairs quickly looked away and focused on their training.

"I apologize for the embarrassing situation. Please come with me to the third floor for the test."

Bai Yu remained silent about why they had fought and why the magic temple had been destroyed, so Bai Ling didn't bring it up again.

Besides, she didn't damage their foundation.

At most, they'll have to stay in bed for a few days and won't be able to get out of bed.

The third floor of the Magic Temple is a spacious hall, five meters high, with symbols and patterns on the surrounding walls, from which spiritual energy faintly flows.

Bai Yu led his people all the way to the trial hall where spiritual power and elements were tested before stopping. A cold blue light shone into the hall, and a thick ancient book immediately rose from the ground.

"This is a replica of the Magic Temple, the legendary artifact that Merlin, the god of magic, was said to be his personal artifact—the Grimoire."
