Being at Hogwarts, something's not right with this system.

In the evening, Lin Yu and Hermione arrived at the restaurant chatting and laughing; they were practically holding hands as they walked in.

As they passed by the older students, they were met with good-natured laughter.

It was as if everyone knew they were a couple.

Hermione's face turned bright red; she was too embarrassed to look at the others.

Lin Yu, however, not only remained calm but also laughed and scolded, "What nonsense are you talking about? We're only eleven years old. Anyone who didn't know better would think we were inviting you to a wedding. Oh my god!"

Hermione couldn't take it anymore and jogged to her seat, but she couldn't help turning back to look at Lin Yu, waiting for him to come over.

Lin Yu walked over gracefully and sat down next to Hermione.

As I said before, although they are still young, there are many things that cannot be brought up yet.

But that's alright, he can wait patiently and watch Hermione grow up.

This could be considered childhood sweethearts, right?

At the dining table, Ron looked at Lin Yu with a resentful expression.

Lin Yu looked over and asked Harry, who was next to Ron, with a puzzled expression, "What's wrong with him?"

Did Ron find out that he stole his wife?

Harry shrugged and said quietly, "We played wizard chess all afternoon, but Ron still wants to play with your broom."

"Alright, alright, Ron, I can lend you my car for a day tomorrow," Lin Yu said generously.

Ron showed no joy; instead, he became even more resentful.

Because tomorrow is Monday, and classes will start again.

What a load of crap!

Should I put it on the bed and keep it there?

Lin Yu felt uncomfortable under Ron's gaze and couldn't help but shift the blame to Harry, saying, "Harry, you too, your wizard chess skills are terrible, no wonder Ron doesn't want to play with you."

Harry pointed at himself with one finger: "How can you blame me? Those were Seamus's pieces. Not only did they not trust me, they also moved around randomly. It was more like Ron was playing chess with my pieces than me playing chess with Ron."

Simo covered his mouth and chuckled.

This is the Wizard Chess; only when you gain their trust will they willingly fight for you.

Otherwise, they would rather take matters into their own hands.

Hermione listened to the boys arguing and shook her head, bored.

At that moment, Lin Yu felt a gaze watching him.

Do not doubt it, this is not an illusion. Lin Yu's divine sense has now surpassed that of ordinary Qi Refining stage cultivators. Even if he cannot release it externally yet, he is almost there.

Lin Yu subconsciously turned his head to look, only to find that the gaze was coming from Dumbledore in the teachers' seat.

Dumbledore was surprised that Lin Yu could sense his gaze. After a slight pause, he rolled his eyes at Lin Yu and silently mouthed, "Come to my office in a bit."

Lin Yu tilted his head, looking completely puzzled.

This isn't Chinese, so how many of those English words can I understand?

Dumbledore continued to roll his eyes, too lazy to pay him any attention.

Lin Yu thought and thought, then mentally asked the system, "Will this trigger a mission?"

After Hermione's reminder and demonstration in the afternoon, Lin Yu finally realized what was going on.

The system was right. Since obtaining the system, Lin Yu had never really tried to figure out how to trigger system tasks; he had always been driven by the plot.

To put it bluntly, it's like forcing someone into a task; he'll only complete the task if the system triggers it.

Once the system goes silent, he ignores it.

In contrast, Hermione, having only overheard a few words, began to actively try to probe and attempt to trigger the system's mission.

No wonder the system couldn't resist giving Hermione an extra reward.

That's right, those spirit fruits were prepared for Hermione.

Lin Yu felt that those spiritual fruits couldn't effectively improve his cultivation level, so he didn't intend to waste them. Rather than simply using them as spiritual energy without improving his cultivation level, he might as well keep them, either to feed to Hermione or to replenish his spiritual energy after he had consumed it.

He should leave himself some room for maneuver, shouldn't he?

The system did not respond at first, but after a moment it issued a notification: "Quest triggered. Your grandmaster Zhang Sanfeng, Albus Percival, Woolflick, Bryan Dumbledore wants you to come tonight. Quest complete. Reward: 1,000 low-grade spirit stones."

Lin Yu: "Who? Zhang Sanfeng? My grandmaster? Am I now Zhang Wuji? Or Song Qingshu? And who is Hermione now? Zhao Min or Zhou Zhiruo?"

Hermione glanced at Lin Yu. She was no longer bothered by the name, but she still had many questions.

For example, what is the dantian in her abdomen? And what is the qi inside it?

But the thought of the places Lin Yu had touched made her feel hot all over and she dared not think about it anymore.

Lin Yu mentally grumbled, somewhat exasperated, "So Dumbledore just wanted me to come over tonight. Why didn't he just say so? Why did he have to mouth it to me?"

At the same time, Lin Yu also wanted to argue that it wasn't that he could only be passively driven by the plot, but rather that he didn't dare to act recklessly.

Just kidding, this world does have magic like mind-stealing, which is the soul-searching technique in fantasy worlds. In short, it's magic that can capture your thoughts and memories.

Lin Yu dared not be too outspoken, what if he attracted the attention of those old monsters?

For example, he had just refined a batch of Marrow Cleansing Pills and had a verbal exchange with Snape, and as a result, he was summoned by Dumbledore for questioning.

He dared not arouse too much suspicion, because he knew that Dumbledore was said to be the greatest white wizard of modern times, but in reality, Dumbledore's heart was black.

Dumbledore was even willing to sacrifice his former lover, Grindelwald, as a stepping stone for his own advancement.

The Elder Wand's previous owner was also Grindelwald, and Dumbledore took it from him.

Grindelwald is still imprisoned to this day, and has even had his tongue cut out and been tortured.

This is Dumbledore, a seemingly kind old man who is actually cunning, ruthless, and feared even by Voldemort. Anyone who dares to confide in him is just waiting to be devoured.

No, it's the kind where even the bone fragments are chewed up and the marrow is completely drained.

In addition, Lin Yu himself was ambitious; he even wanted to kick Dumbledore out and take his place.

Of course, he has to proceed gradually. He needs time to grow and, more importantly, to lie low and accumulate strength.

He is still young, has a system, can cultivate immortality, and has magic. Now he also has the Great Evolution Heaven-Reaching Technique to enhance his divine sense.

Why should he be in such a hurry?

The future belongs to him.

Voldemort? Dumbledore? Grindelwald?

Your era will be eliminated sooner or later; the new world has no wrecked ship to carry you.

Lin Yu lowered his head, eating while pondering his thoughts.

He needs opportunities, he needs lots and lots of opportunities.

He wanted to gradually build his reputation during his student years and cultivate his own group of followers around him.

Just like Voldemort, Voldemort was not only powerful himself, but more importantly, he also had a group of loyal Death Eaters.

More importantly, none of this should arouse Dumbledore's hostility.

He didn't want to go against Dumbledore right now.
