People are in the magic card, instigating rebellion against the world.

Chapter 120 Touya: You guys eat lunch together every day? Alright, alright, you brat! (Bonus Chapter)
Ye Hui then changed the subject: "However, this does not mean that the Clow Cards could not have infiltrated."

"Didn't Masaki-nee say that these goods were all imported from a new company in Tokyo? Maybe the real Clow Cards are hidden in one of the shipments waiting to be sent here."

“That makes sense, after all, the Clow Cards always seem to appear near us.” Sakura nodded thoughtfully.

"So what should we do next?" Zhi Shi asked softly, looking at Ye Hui.

Ye Hui smiled slightly and revealed his plan: "It's very simple. Since Sakura is coming to buy the 'Cooking Skill Improvement' spell card tomorrow, we'll come and wait together."

"If there are Clow Cards mixed in with tomorrow's new shipment, it will definitely reveal its magical fluctuations and give itself away, and then we can catch it directly."

"Okay! I understand! Then we'll definitely come early tomorrow!" Sakura nodded vigorously, full of energy.

Li Meiling listened from the side, and although she didn't say anything, she had obviously taken in Ye Hui's plan.

She glanced at the "Smooth Sailing in Love" spell card in her hand, a hint of hesitation flashing in her eyes.

Now that a preliminary plan had been developed, Ye Hui and his companions bid farewell to Masaki and left the toy store.

"Speaking of which, I never expected that Meiling would be interested in spell cards."

Walking under the streetlights, Xiaoying leaned close to Li Meiling and said with a smile.

Sakura obviously understood as well.

“I already said, I wasn’t the one who wanted to buy the cards! It was a friend of mine who asked me to help them!” Li Meiling retorted, but her voice was softer than usual, lacking confidence.

"Okay, okay~" Sakura suppressed a laugh and didn't expose her any further.

"Hmph!" Meiling raised her head.

Tomoyo walked beside Ye Hui and, taking advantage of a moment between Sakura and Meiling's conversation, quietly asked, "Ye-kun, what kind of power do you think this Clow Card will have?"

Ye Hui carefully recalled the original plot.

What exactly is this Clow Card mixed in with the Spell Cards?

It seems to be... a card game?

He doesn't remember very clearly.

However, regardless of which one it is, with his current strength, it shouldn't be too difficult for him.

He shook his head and said truthfully, "I haven't seen this Clow Card yet, so I can't judge its power."

He paused, then added, "But it's okay. No matter how strong the hand, as long as we work together, we can definitely win it."

Tomoyo turned her head to look at him and smiled gently: "Yes, I believe in Ye-kun."

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +12】

Hmm? Another mood score added?

Ye Hui felt a surge of joy.

Tomoyo seems to be trusting him more and more.
Compared to trying to win over other people, it's definitely more fun to spend time with Tomoyo!
Every time Tomoyo's emotional state spikes, it's so funny!
As the group walked along, chatting and laughing, a sudden autumn gust of wind swept by, stirring up fallen leaves from the ground.

"Whoa!" Li Meiling suddenly exclaimed.

Ye Hui looked in the direction of the sound and saw Li Meiling frantically chasing after him.

It turned out that the gust of wind had blown away the spell card she had been holding in her hand.

The pink card spun in the air, drifting lightly forward, as if deliberately trying to antagonize her.

"Hey! Don't run away!" Li Meiling stamped her feet anxiously and quickly chased after him, shouting as she ran, "My spell cards! Don't run away!"

Her flustered appearance drew curious glances from passersby strolling along the roadside.

Just as the card was about to float into the middle of the road, the passing vehicles began to slow down. Li Meiling's eyes turned red with anxiety, and she quickened her pace.

Seeing this, Ye Hui was about to use his wind power to pull Meiling and the card back.

Just then, a figure strode out from the alley next door.

Hearing Li Meiling's shout, the person subconsciously looked up and happened to see the card floating towards them.

The card seemed to have eyes; it flew straight toward him and landed steadily in his palm.

Everything happened at just the right time.

Li Meiling's chasing steps suddenly stopped, and she froze on the spot.

She stared blankly at the person picking up the cards and said, "Little...Little Wolf?"

That's right, the one who caught the card precisely was Li Xiaolang!
He hadn't expected to run into Ye Hui and the others here, and paused for a moment before asking, "Meiling? What are you doing here?"

As he asked the question, he glanced down at the cards in his hand, his brows furrowing slightly.

"I...we..." Li Meiling's cheeks flushed instantly, her fingers twisting the hem of her clothes, she stammered for a long time, unable to utter a complete sentence.

Seeing this, Sakura quickly ran over to help: "We just came from Masaki-nee's stationery store and were about to go home."

"Masaki's shop?" Li Xiaolang's expression became even more puzzled.

Ye Hui walked over leisurely with his arms crossed, a smile he couldn't hide.

He looked at the card in Li Xiaolang's hand and asked knowingly, "Li Xiaolang, what's that you're holding? It's pink and has hearts printed on it. It looks quite unique."

[Li Xiaolang's Mood Value +13]

Li Xiaolang glanced down at the card; the four large characters "Smooth Sailing in Love" and the heart-shaped pattern next to it were particularly eye-catching.

A suspicious blush rose on his cheeks, but he quickly suppressed it, composed himself, and handed the card to Li Meiling.

"Meiling, is this your stuff?"

"Ah... um!"

Li Meiling nodded like a chick pecking at rice, and quickly reached out to take it.

However, Li Xiaolang did not loosen his grip; he still held onto a corner of the card and did not immediately return it to her.

Li Xiaolang's gaze lingered on the card for a few seconds before he looked up at Li Meiling.

Why would you ask for something like that?

"I...I didn't ask for anything!"

Li Meiling's eyes darted away instantly, instinctively avoiding Li Xiaolang's gaze. "This...this is what Sister Zhenshu just gave me!"

"A gift?" Li Xiaolang clearly didn't believe it. "Why would she give you this for no reason?"

“Because…because…” Li Meiling’s brain was racing, and she was so anxious that sweat beaded on her forehead, but she couldn’t come up with a reasonable excuse for a long time.

Her ability to make up lies on the spot is really not very good.

Just then, Tomoyo spoke up and came to her rescue: "It's because we helped Maki-nee with a small favor before, and she gave Meiling a card as a thank you gift."

"Ah, right, right, right! Hmph, even if you don't believe me, you should believe Daidouji-kun!"

Taking the opportunity, Li Meiling straightened her chest, trying to regain some momentum and face, and then reached out to take the card again.

But Li Xiaolang still didn't let go.

"Didn't you say that our relationship is unbreakable and doesn't need such a thing to protect it?"

Li Xiaolang looked into her eyes and asked, word by word.

These words were like a bucket of cold water, instantly extinguishing the momentum that Li Meiling had just mustered.

Her face flushed even redder, she lowered her head even further, and her voice was so soft it was like a mosquito's hum: "I...of course I don't doubt your feelings!"

"I just... I just thought the card's design was cute, that's why I accepted it, that's all!"

Ye Hui was secretly laughing so hard he could barely contain himself.

These two are truly a pair of clowns; one is arrogant, and the other is stubborn. Together, they are a match made in heaven!

Seeing Li Meiling's embarrassed look, Li Xiaolang coughed lightly.

What Meiling wanted to do originally had nothing to do with him, so why was he asking so many questions?
I decided to stop dwelling on the topic and instead focus my attention back on the cards in my hand.

Soon, Li Xiaolang's brows furrowed again.

"Don't you guys think it looks a bit like a Clow Card?"

He looked up at Ye Hui and Xiao Ying, his tone becoming more serious.

Sakura nodded: "We just discovered that too. Ye said that there might be a Clow Card disguised as one of these spell cards mixed in."

"Clow Cards?" Li Xiaolang's expression instantly turned serious.

He flipped the card over and carefully examined the magic circle pattern on the back, trying to find traces of magical fluctuations.

Ye Hui spoke up at the right moment: "However, this one should not be a Clow Card. I just checked it with my spiritual power, and there is no Clow Card aura on it. It's just an ordinary printed product."

He paused, then added, "The real Clow Cards might be mixed in with other batches of Spell Cards and haven't been delivered to the store yet."

"Since we have clues about the Clow Cards, we can't just leave them unattended."

Li Xiaolang looked at Ye Hui, "What's your plan?"

"The plan is simple."

Ye Hui said, "Let's go to Sister Zhenshu's shop again after school tomorrow."

Sakura explained from the side, "Because Masaki-neechan said that a new batch of goods will arrive tomorrow, and there is the 'Cooking Skill Improvement' spell card that I want."

“We can use the opportunity of buying the cards to find out if any of the new shipments contain Clow Cards.”

Ye Hui nodded in agreement: "If the Clow Cards are really inside, they can't be hidden. As soon as we get close, their magical fluctuations will be revealed, and then we can act according to the situation."

After listening, Li Xiaolang had no objections and nodded: "This method is feasible. I will go there after school tomorrow."

“Then I’ll go too!” Li Meiling immediately declared, her tone firm.

Even now, seeing that stationery store still makes my heart race because of the embarrassment I just felt.

She couldn't let the little wolf face the potential dangers alone!
Li Xiaolang finally let go and returned the love spell card to her.

Li Meiling quickly clutched the card tightly in her hand, then carefully stuffed it into the inside pocket of her coat, zipped it up, afraid that it would be blown away by the wind again.

And so the matter was settled amicably.

The group said their goodbyes at the intersection and turned to walk in different directions home.

The streets, now dark, quickly returned to tranquility.

The next morning, as dawn broke, Ye Hui arrived at the intersection where he had agreed to meet Zhi Shi.

For him, meeting up with Tomoyo here every morning and walking side by side through the sunlit streets to school has become a natural habit.

He watched Tomoyo's figure approaching from afar, thinking to himself.

I wonder if Tomoyo has gotten used to this kind of companionship?
Sakura was unusually punctual today. The three of them met at the entrance of the teaching building and walked into the classroom together.

As soon as I sat down.

Ye Hui noticed that Naoko, who was diagonally in front of him, was acting strangely.

She slumped over the table, her head buried in her arms, looking completely listless.

She couldn't even muster the interest she usually enjoyed in gossip and idle chatter, and when her deskmate spoke to her, she would only give a perfunctory reply.

Sakura quickly noticed Naoko's unusual behavior.

She gently leaned over, patted Naoko's back, and asked with concern, "Naoko, what's wrong? You don't look well, and you don't seem to have much energy."

Naoko weakly raised her head, her eyes slightly dark, and sighed, "Don't even mention it. Just thinking about PE class this afternoon gives me a terrible headache. I was thinking about it so late last night that I couldn't fall asleep."

"PE class? What happened to PE class this afternoon?" Sakura asked, puzzled.

She has always been good at sports and always looked forward to physical education classes. Naturally, she didn't understand or feel the fear that other students who were not so physically fit had about physical education classes.

"Ugh, we have to jump over the vaulting box!" Naoko said with a sullen face, looking utterly hopeless. "I'm terrible at this. Last time I practiced, I not only failed to jump over it, but I almost fell down. It was so embarrassing."

For Sakura, who is good at all kinds of sports, jumping over a box is a piece of cake, but for Naoko, whose athletic ability is not very developed, it is indeed a big challenge.

"Don't worry, Naoko!" Sakura patted her shoulder, encouraging her. "With a few more practice sessions, you'll definitely master the technique! We'll all be there to cheer you on!"

Tomoyo gently chimed in, "Naoko, believe in yourself. You just need a little courage and practice. You can definitely get past this."

Ye Hui added, "It's okay. I'll teach you a few tricks for generating power during PE class this afternoon. Once you master the techniques, I guarantee you'll be able to jump over it easily."

The three people's encouragement finally brightened Naoko's eyes, and she felt much better.

She nodded quickly: "Really? Thank you so much!"

The morning classes are over.

It's lunch time.

As usual, Ye Hui, Xiao Ying, and Zhi Shi arrived at the big tree behind the teaching building.

This place is quiet and shady, and it's their usual lunch spot.

Tomoyo opened the bamboo basket she had brought, inside which were neatly arranged several different flavored sandwiches and a small box of cut fruit, presented in an exquisite and tempting manner.

"Wow! It looks so delicious!" Sakura leaned over for a look and exclaimed in surprise.

"I specially prepared this today according to everyone's tastes. There are eggs, tuna and ham. Please see which one you like and enjoy."

Tomoyo smiled and pushed the bamboo basket to the middle so that everyone could easily take it.

"Great! Thank you, Tomoyo!" Sakura happily picked up an egg sandwich, took a bite without waiting, and squinted her eyes in satisfaction.

Ye Hui also picked up a tuna sandwich, took a bite, and nodded in satisfaction: "Zhi Shi's skills are still so good. She can always surprise me. This sandwich tastes even better than the ones you buy from bakeries outside."

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +8】

Hearing the praise, Tomoyo's purple eyes curved into a smile, and she said gently, "As long as you enjoy your meal, it's all worth the time I spent preparing it."

"Next time, I'll make the bento boxes! I recently learned a few new dishes from my dad, and I'd like you guys to try them!" Sakura said confidently, patting her chest.

Ye Hui and Zhi Shi exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of something in each other's eyes.
Yes, a subtle but well-intentioned hesitation.

The two still have a vivid memory of the disastrous cooking Sakura made herself last time.

"Let me prepare tomorrow. I'd like to try out some new recipes," Ye Hui said with a smile.

Tomoyo chimed in, "Alright, let's get started, or our lunch break will be over soon."

The three of them were quietly enjoying their lunch.

A familiar and gentle voice came from not far away: "You're here."

Ye Hui raised his head and looked in the direction of the sound.

They saw the snow rabbit waving at them from behind the playground fence.

Standing beside him was Touya, who had a calm expression, his hands in his school uniform pockets, his gaze sweeping over the three people under the tree.

"Snow Rabbit Bro!" Sakura stood up in surprise, her eyes lighting up instantly, and waved in response.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Hui saw the two of them nimbly grab the top of the railing, and with a gentle push, flip over.

The fence was nearly two people high, but they climbed over it effortlessly.

"You're having lunch here?" Yukito said with a smile as she approached, her gaze falling on the bamboo basket and sandwiches on the ground.

"Yes! Have you guys eaten yet, Yukito-kun?" Sakura asked enthusiastically.

"Hmm, I was hoping to find a quiet place." Yukito shook the lunch bag in her hand; it was bulging inside.

"Let's eat together! There's plenty of space here!" Sakura immediately extended an invitation, enthusiastically moving aside to make room for the two of them.

Touya followed behind Yukito, his gaze lingering on Ye Hui for a while before he asked, "Do you eat lunch together every day?"

【Kinomoto Touya’s Emotion Value +10】

Ye Hui nodded calmly, without saying anything more.

Sakura tilted her head and added, "Pretty much. Whenever Ye comes to school, we'll eat here together."

Momoya: ╰_╯

Touya's lips twitched, and his displeasure deepened.

Kid, don't you have your own lunch buddy?!
【Kinomoto Touya’s Emotion Value +13】

Ye Hui still ignored the other party.

The kid, Touya, pulled Yukito along and found a clean spot on the grass to sit down.

Touya opened his lunchbox, inside which were several golden and tempting croquettes, their outer crusts glistening with a light sheen of oil, looking very crispy.

"It's a croquette!" Snow Rabbit's eyes lit up.

He has always loved the croquettes made by Touya.

Touya skillfully picked one up and handed it to him, his voice calm: "Dad made it last night, there were some left, I brought them for lunch."

After saying that, he glanced at Sakura and added, "If Sakura had made it, we probably wouldn't be able to eat it now."

"Brother! Why are you criticizing me again!" Sakura protested, puffing out her cheeks.

Her older brother is always like this, he can't stop teasing her!
And lately, the way he looks at Ye Zi has been acting strange.

It's amazing!

I hate Onii-chan!
at this time.

Li Meiling's slightly impatient voice came from afar.

"Little wolf! Hurry up! The sun's practically hitting the roof of your head!"

Everyone looked up.

Li Meiling was seen pulling Li Xiaolang's arm and walking forward, while carrying a small lunchbox in her other hand.

Li Xiaolang looked helpless. He wanted to break free, but out of politeness, he could only let her drag him along, muttering under his breath, "Don't pull me, I can walk by myself..."

"Li, Meiling! Are you here for lunch too?" Sakura greeted him with a smile and a wave. Li Xiaolang looked up and met Yukito's gentle gaze. His cheeks flushed instantly, and he froze on the spot, unsure of what to do with his hands and feet. His eyes unconsciously drifted away.

What's this person doing here!
"Little Wolf? What's wrong? Why is your face so red all of a sudden? Are you feeling unwell?" Li Meiling shook his arm curiously.

Ye Hui held his forehead.

Li Xiaolang's Snow Rabbit-limited Shy Mode has been activated again.

The key point is that it's been so long, hasn't Meiling noticed yet? She's really slow on the uptake.

Sakura enthusiastically introduced them: "Brother, Yukito-san, this is my classmate Li Meiling, and also Li Xiaolang's cousin."

"Hello." Yukito and Touya nodded politely.

Snow Rabbit smiled gently at the two of them.

"And I'm also Little Wolf's fiancée!" Li Meiling puffed out her chest and proudly announced.

"Fiancée?" Yukito and Touya were both taken aback and asked in unison, both somewhat surprised.

"No...no!" Li Xiaolang finally realized what was happening and hurriedly waved his hands in denial, shaking his head like a rattle drum, his cheeks turning even redder.

"Why are you suddenly shy? We're already engaged!" Li Meiling grumbled, completely oblivious to Li Xiaolang's embarrassment.

Li Xiaolang's face was so red it was almost bleeding.

He grabbed Li Meiling, who was still babbling on, turned around and ran away, leaving behind only a hurried apology.

"Sorry! Let's eat somewhere else!"

The sound gradually faded away, leaving Touya and Yukito staring at each other, their eyes filled with confusion.

Watching the two figures flee in disarray, Sakura scratched her head, looking puzzled: "Why did they suddenly leave? And Li seemed really nervous... Didn't he want to eat lunch with Yukito?"

Sakura didn't understand.

Didn't he say last time that he liked Snow Rabbit Bro?

Tomoyo covered her mouth and chuckled softly: "There are probably some things she doesn't want Yukito-nii to know."

This little incident passed quickly.

The group continued enjoying their lunch, and the relaxed atmosphere returned to the grass.

The afternoon physical education class arrived as scheduled. Sunlight filled the playground, and the air was filled with the faint scent of grass.

After Mr. Terada explained the key points of the vaulting box movement, he let the students try it one by one.

Sakura was the first to step forward. She took a few quick steps, leaped lightly into the air, and gently braced herself with her hands on the top of the vaulting box.

She executed a beautiful aerial somersault over the vaulting box and landed steadily on the cushioning mat, her movements fluid and precise.

"Wow! Sakura danced so beautifully!"

"So handsome!"

The surrounding students immediately cheered, and even the teacher nodded in approval.

Ye Hui stood aside and watched, nodding in satisfaction.

In terms of athletic ability, Sakura is almost an all-rounder, far surpassing her peers in running, jumping, and ball sports.

Next, it was the other students' turn to go on stage.

Most people successfully jumped over the obstacle by following the teacher's instructions, but a few students, like Naoko, who weren't very athletic, tried several times without success.

Either the run-up wasn't strong enough, or the hand support wasn't properly applied, leaving them frustrated and forced to retreat to the side.

"Next, Naoko Yanagisawa," Mr. Terada called out.

Naoko slowly walked out of the line and moved to the starting line.

Looking at the vaulting box that was more than half a person tall, my legs trembled and my palms sweated.

"Naoko, do it! You can do it!" Sakura cheered loudly for her from the side, pumping her fists.

"Don't be afraid, just follow the rhythm!" Li Jia shouted along.

“Oh, right, Naoko, didn’t you buy the ‘Good Luck in Sports’ talisman yesterday? It will definitely bless you!” Chiharu reminded her.

Ye Hui had previously taught Naoko a few tricks for vaulting over boxes.

For example, you should stabilize your breathing when running up, lean your center of gravity forward when jumping, and use your wrists to propel your body when supporting yourself.

Whether she can succeed or not ultimately depends on whether she can overcome her fear.

Hearing her friends' encouragement, Naoko took a deep breath.

She remembered the spell cards she had bought yesterday at Masaki-nee's shop as soon as school was over.

Yes, I made a wish!
I'm sure I can jump over it!
Prepare yourself mentally.

Naoko took her first steps and began her run-up.

Although my steps were still a little hesitant, they were much more determined than during previous practice sessions.

Jump, brace yourself, and your body will soar into the air!

She successfully cleared the vaulting box and landed steadily on the mat.

"I...I succeeded!"

Naoko was stunned for a few seconds before she reacted, somewhat incredulous, but soon jumped up in surprise.

"Great, Naoko!" Sakura was the first to rush over and give her a big hug.

"We knew you could do it!" Chiharu and Rika also came over, excitedly patting her on the shoulder.

Naoko excitedly pulled the spell card from her pocket, carefully held it in her palm, and spoke with gratitude.

"Thanks to it! This spell card is incredibly effective!"

Sakura's eyes lit up as she looked at the cards in her hand, muttering to herself, "I never thought spell cards would be so useful..."

She had already made up her mind that she would rush to Masaki-nee's shop after school to buy a "Cooking Skills Improvement" spell card!
That way, I can make the best croquettes and give them to Snow Rabbit to try!
Snow Rabbit Bro, he'll probably like it, hehehehe~

Upon hearing this, Ye Hui chuckled.

This wasn't due to the magic cards working; it was clearly because Naoko overcame her fear and mastered the techniques.

That's how he managed to jump over it successfully.

However, seeing everyone so happy, Ye Hui didn't intend to expose this "confidence".

Zhi Shi's idea clearly coincided with Ye Hui's.

She smiled and said to Naoko, "Actually, this is all the result of your own hard work. You practiced so diligently and mastered the techniques. The spell cards just gave you the courage to persevere."

Naoko nodded vigorously: "Yes! I will practice harder from now on, and I can't just rely on spell cards!"

After the physical education class ended, it was almost time for the last class.

The whole class was over.

Sakura's mind was completely focused on the "Cooking Skills Improvement" spell card.

I kept glancing at the clock outside the window, hoping that school would end soon.

As a result, she didn't absorb much of what the teacher said in the last class.

Finally, the school bell rang.

The girl practically jumped up from her seat, grabbed Ye Hui and Zhi Shi's hands, and ran towards the school gate, speaking rapidly like a machine gun.

"Let's go! Let's hurry and find Masaki-neechan! If we're too late, the 'Cooking Skills Improvement' spell cards might all be gone! Oh, and of course, I also need to make sure the Clow Cards are actually there!"

Watching her rush around so fast, almost causing her backpack strap to fly off her back.

Ye Hui and Zhi Shi let him lead them around, exchanging a smile, feeling both helpless and amused.

Sakura really went all out to make croquettes for Yukito.

"Sakura, slow down, don't run so fast, be careful not to fall," Ye Hui called out.

"No, no! What if we sell out!" Sakura shouted back, her steps not slowing down but actually running faster, the two little tufts of hair in her hair swinging behind her.

However, she was also afraid that if she pulled too hard, she would drag Zhi Shi and Ye Hui to the ground.

I let go anyway.

It seems there's still some rationality left.

Ye Hui sighed and turned to Tomoyo, who was walking briskly beside him, saying, "It seems that in Sakura's heart, Yukito's charm is truly unmatched. We can only admit defeat."

Tomoyo chuckled softly, her eyes gentle: "After all, he's Sakura's favorite person, so it's perfectly normal to want to do something for him~"

Just then, Li Xiaolang, carrying his schoolbag, caught up from behind. Seeing the three of them hurrying away, he asked with a puzzled look, "Why is Kinomoto running so fast? Is something urgent?"

Ye Hui glanced at him and said meaningfully, "Because Brother Yukito especially likes croquettes, Sakura wants to make the best croquettes for him."

Li Xiaolang: !!!

Hearing about Snow Rabbit and Croquettes.

His eyes narrowed, and without asking any more questions, he quickened his pace and chased after them.

"I'm here! Huh? Little Wolf, wait for me! Why are you running so fast!" Li Meiling came out carrying a lunchbox, only to find that Little Wolf had disappeared. Her eyes widened, and she followed behind, panting.

Ye Hui shrugged and smiled at Zhi Shi, "We're still the most reliable."

“Alright, let’s follow them.” Tomoyo’s purple eyes curved gently as she spoke softly.

"Don't worry, we won't be slower than them," Ye Hui said with a slight smile.

Both of them used their spiritual power to slightly increase their pace.

The group soon arrived at the entrance of Masaki's stationery store.

Sakura pushed open the glass door, and the wind chimes jingled.

"Sister Masaki! Where are the new spell cards that arrived today?" she asked eagerly.

Masaki was tidying up the shelves when she saw her like this. She smiled and pointed to a newly set up display stand next to her: "They're all over there. We have a wide selection today, so take your time to choose."

Sakura immediately rushed to the booth and began searching through a pile of colorful spell cards.

They quickly found the pink and green card.

It features a set of exquisite tableware printed on it, with the words "Improvement in Culinary Skills" written next to it.

"Great! I found it!" She happily held the card in her hand, as if she had received a treasure.

Ye Hui and Zhi Shi stood to the side, exchanging glances discreetly as their eyes swept across the entire display, carefully observing each spell card.

Li Xiaolang glanced at the flashy cards.

From the moment he entered the store, he was on edge, alertly sensing the magical fluctuations around him.

He wasn't sure if a Clow Card would suddenly appear.

Of course, before dealing with the Clow Cards.
He also drew a spell card that improved his cooking skills.

Ye Hui mobilized his spiritual energy to perceive and envelop the entire exhibition booth.

However, as before, he did not detect any trace of the golden light emanating from the treasure.

"Hmm?" He couldn't help but wonder.

Could it be that the Clow Cards weren't in this batch? Or have they already been bought by someone else?
"So? Did you find anything?" Tomoyo quietly moved closer to him and asked in a low voice.

Ye Hui shook his head at her, indicating that there were no clues.

Seeing this, Sakura remembered the most important thing, suppressed her excitement, and focused her attention on examining the Clow Cards.

Then, she frowned and said, "There aren't any? The Spell Cards look so similar to the Clow Cards, is it really just a coincidence?"

Ye Hui shook his head: "It shouldn't be."

There is no such thing as a true coincidence in the world.

Sakura closed her eyes, concentrated, and carefully sensed the magical energy around her.

A moment later, she opened her eyes and said with certainty, "Yes! There's a faint trace of the Clow Card here, though it's very faint. That card may have already been bought by someone!"

Ye Hui still doesn't know what the aura of the Clow Cards is like.

Sakura's ability to sense the aura of the Clow Cards is really convenient.

Unlike him, who could only locate treasures by their golden light.

Or perhaps try to sense the strange fluctuations in power.

But then again.

Simply sensing the aura is not enough to pinpoint a specific location; it can only provide a general indication of the situation.

From this perspective, both methods have their advantages and disadvantages.

at this time.

Suddenly, a little boy's clear and loud exclamation rang out from outside the stationery store: "Wow! This is amazing! It's incredible!"

The crowd looked in the direction of the sound and saw a little boy holding up a spell card and pointing it at a green trash can by the roadside in the open space outside the store.

He squinted and muttered under his breath, "Put it in!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he casually tossed out a crumpled piece of paper.

The crumpled paper traced a straight arc in the air and landed precisely deep inside the trash can.

"Wow! It really went in!" The little boy jumped up excitedly, holding up the spell card to show off to his friends, his face full of pride.

His friends looked surprised and crowded around him, saying, "Let me try! Let me try too!"

A slightly taller boy snatched the spell card, turned around, aimed it at the uncle not far away, pointed to a yellowish leaf at the top, and shouted, "Hit that leaf!"

He bent down, picked up a marble from beside his feet, and flicked it out.

The marble veered slightly in mid-air and struck the leaf precisely. The leaf swayed and slowly drifted down.

"Wow! That's amazing! This card really works!"

Several children cheered around the spell cards, their eyes filled with admiration, all eager to try their hand at them.

Ye Hui stood at the store entrance watching this scene, and instantly knew the answer in his heart.

This spell card is the "Strike" card!

It has now clearly begun to unconsciously display its abilities.

It is an offensive Clow Card.

Even if it has not yet been subdued, as long as the user mentions words related to attack such as "hit" or "strike," it will mobilize its magic power to launch a precise attack.

Those children just now unintentionally borrowed its power.

"Ye-kun," Tomoyo called softly, her brows furrowing slightly.

"Don't worry, it's fine." Ye Hui shook his head.

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +8】

at the same time.

The system prompt pops up again.

[You observed the celestial phenomena at night, calculated with your fingers, and sensed the unusual activity within the Puppet Realm. This is clearly a sign of the awakening of the Immortal Talisman Sect's secret treasure, the "War Tamer Talisman Spirit"! This treasure was forged by an ancient cultivator with battle intent; it can possess beings and wield swords, and it loves nothing more than seeking out opponents for combat!]

The awakening of the War Terracotta Warrior Spirit has allowed it to control the puppets within the Puppet Realm, harming passing cultivators!

[You followed Kinomoto Sakura, a disciple of the Heavenly Spiritual Root, to the entrance of the Puppet Realm, deliberately revealing to her that the puppets were being controlled! Kinomoto Sakura vowed to eradicate the demons! You secretly scoffed at her inability to distinguish between a treasure and a demon, but outwardly praised her!]

[Watching Sakura Kinomoto fight valiantly, you plan to steal the secret treasure, the War Terracotta Warrior Spirit, when she runs out of spiritual power!]

[You have refreshed the character side quest – "A Guiding Light on a Crossroads"!]

"That's the card!" Li Xiaolang's eyes sharpened instantly as he stared intently at the spell cards in the children's hands and strode over.

"Kids, can I see the card you're holding?" He tried to keep his tone gentle, but his perpetually tense face still looked serious and lacked any warmth.

The children were startled by his sudden approach and instinctively hid the cards behind their backs.

The little boy holding the cards looked up, staring at him warily, and asked, "Who...who are you? Why are you looking at our cards? We just bought them!"

"I..." Li Xiaolang was speechless for a moment. He opened his mouth, but didn't know how to explain.

What was he going to say?
Should we tell these little brats?

"I am a Taoist priest from Hong Kong. These are not ordinary cards; they are Clow Cards that can cause danger. Quickly hand them over to me to subdue them!"

If he said that out loud, those kids probably wouldn't believe him, and might even think he was a weirdo!

Just as he was caught in a dilemma, Ye Hui walked over.

With a gentle smile on his face, he took out a few beautifully packaged fruit candies from his pocket and handed them to the children.

"Hello children, we are not bad people, we are just passing by."

"We were just a little interested because the cards in your hands seemed special; they looked pretty impressive."

Children are always easily attracted to candy.

Upon seeing the brightly colored candy in Ye Hui's hand, the boys' wariness immediately lessened considerably, and their eyes unconsciously lingered on the candy.

The little boy holding the cards weighed the spell cards in his hand and boasted, "Yeah, these cards are amazing! No matter what we want to play, they can help us hit it accurately!"

"Really? That's amazing?" Ye Hui feigned surprise, matching his tone.

"Of course it's true! I'll demonstrate it for you again if you don't believe me!" the little boy said, raising the sign to try it out on the roadside billboard again.
