"I……"

"Alright, I know you're tired," Pang Lai said with a smile.

This kind of competition easily arises among peers.

He wanted to find Jiang Yu a junior apprentice, hoping that the two could spur each other on and make progress together.

"Elder Pang." Mu Ningxue stood up somewhat awkwardly to greet him.

Pang Lai nodded. "I really didn't expect this to happen. If I could have stayed longer, maybe..."

“The Black Vatican might wait until you leave before making a move,” Lu Cheng said.

"That's true," Pang Lai sighed softly.

He left in the morning, and the Black Vatican's operation began in the afternoon. It was clearly premeditated. He could hold them off for a while, but not forever.

"Teacher, have you found any trace of the Black Vatican?" Jiang Yu asked.

Pang Lai shook his head. "No, by the time I arrived in Bo City, they had already withdrawn, leaving only some small fry behind, seemingly for the sake of the Sacred Spring."

According to the information provided by the court, the attack was orchestrated by Cardinal Salan of the Black Vatican in order to seize the Sacred Spring in Bo City and use it to attract demons and cause an even greater disaster.

However, the Earthly Holy Spring has already been drunk by that young man who was born with dual attributes, so Bo City should be safe from danger in the future.

"What's your decision?" Pang Lai asked.

"Given the current situation in Bocheng, you can't stay any longer. You said before that your sister was having trouble staying and you needed to take care of her, so you had to wait a bit. Now..."

"Me?" Ye Xinxia was taken aback.

Did Brother Acheng reject Pang Lai because of her?

“I plan to go to Shanghai,” Lü Cheng said.

Mu Ningxue was slightly taken aback, then hesitated to speak.

"I see..." Pang Lai nodded and said no more.

Lü Cheng's meaning is already quite clear.

It's normal for young people not to want to be restricted.

“If you change your mind in the future, you can come to the capital to find me anytime,” Pang Lai said.

"Also, take this information on summoning; consider it a gift for our acquaintance."

"Thank you." Lü Cheng did not refuse.

It would be somewhat inappropriate not to acknowledge the elderly person's good intentions.

Moreover, Pang Lai is indeed a good person, so it would be good to make a good connection with him.

However, he really didn't want to go to the Imperial Capital Magic Academy, because that Dean Songhe was a complete idiot!

In comparison, Dean Xiao of Mingzhu Magic Academy is much more kind.

Chapter 49. At the Time of Parting

49.

……

"Don't you want to see me?"

A week has passed since the disaster in Bo City, and most people have already made their choices: to stay or to leave.

Lu Cheng, on the other hand, planned to take Ye Xinxia to check out the situation first.

"Why would you think that?" Lu Cheng asked, amused.

“With Elder Pang as your teacher, you’re starting from scratch. If there’s no other reason, you’d have to be crazy to give up,” Mu Ningxue said.

As the chief of the Palace Magic Association, Pang Lai wields considerable influence. With such a person as his teacher, Lü Cheng's future prospects are incredibly bright.

However, he refused.

twice!

"You really want to be all lovey-dovey with me?" Lu Cheng suddenly moved closer and reached out to cup Mu Ningxue's head.

"Let go!" Mu Ningxue pushed Lü Cheng away with a face full of shame and indignation.

Lu Cheng shrugged. "Look, I just touched you like that, and you couldn't help but push me away. If I really went, wouldn't you be miserable every day?"

"I...I didn't mean that." Mu Ningxue turned around.

"What does that mean?" Lu Cheng hugged Mu Ningxue from behind again.

This time, she did not resist.

“You never used to push me away; you were always the one who hugged me first. Now that I’m being so proactive, you’re disgusted with me?” Lu Cheng said.

"Or have you really changed your mind?"

"I don't despise you, and I haven't changed my mind." Mu Ningxue didn't know how to describe her feelings.

She was happy that Lü Cheng no longer ignored her as before.

However, this guy is getting closer and closer to other women.

He's different now.

She didn't know how to deal with this.

She couldn't accept it calmly, nor could she let go and leave.

"Didn't you choose this yourself?" Lü Cheng released Mu Ningxue.

"Before that day, my heart belonged only to you, but that night, my heart broke."

“I…” Mu Ningxue’s heart clenched.

“I’m not trying to shirk responsibility, nor am I trying to force you to accept it,” Lü Cheng said.

“I’m just stating the facts. I’ve changed. You’re free to reject me, stay away from me, or even hate me.”

"You want to live for yourself, and so do I."

"After all, we never know whether tomorrow or an accident will come first."

"I want to live a happier life, instead of getting caught up in a bunch of trivial things. If I want something, I'll go for it. If I can get it, great; if not..."

"Let's get a different one."

"..."

"Huh?" Mu Ningxue was taken aback.

“As the Lüshi Chunqiu says, ‘Goodbye is goodbye, the next one will be even better!’” Lü Cheng said.

Mu Ningxue's eye twitched.

Lüshi Chunqiu? You wrote the Spring and Autumn Annals, right?

……

"Is that what you're planning to do next?"

After saying goodbye to Mu Ningxue, Lü Cheng came to say goodbye to Tang Yue.

“Yes, I have friends over there, so it’s more convenient,” Lü Cheng said.

"Friends?" Tang Yue raised an eyebrow.

"Male and female?"

"Do you think I'll have a boyfriend?" Lu Cheng asked rhetorically.

"..." Tang Yue.

"You're becoming more and more shameless!"

"So what if they're shameless?" Lü Cheng shrugged.

"I'm happy."

Being a womanizer is fun for a while, and being a womanizer all the time is even more fun!

Pure love has no future!

Besides, he's not even human anymore, so why think so much?

"Fine, I'm done for anyway." Tang Yue shook her head. What could she say?

She knew what kind of person this guy was two years ago, and he even warned her many times. Even so, she still couldn't help but jump into the pit. Who can she blame?

“However, if you go, I have a suggestion,” Tang Yue said.

"Your fire element is already at the mid-level three. With your abnormal cultivation speed, I believe it won't be long before you reach the threshold of the high level. Therefore, instead of enrolling in Pearl Academy, I suggest that you break through to the high level first and then go to Pearl Academy to serve as a special teacher."

"What are the benefits?" Lu Cheng asked.

“Of course.” Tang Yue took out the previously prepared materials and handed them to Lü Cheng.
