She was being hunted down, so she became a magical girl.

To step forward for Jiang Cheng?

What does this mean? Why does everyone want to be a stand-in?

Xu Ting doesn't remember when she started taking on substitute teaching assignments either.

Xu Ting looked puzzled, and Jiang Chenglian quickly explained:

"That's right, the person I'm going to meet next is a faction that has cooperated with Senior [Shaohua] - the magical girl in the Epitaph Incident."

Jiang Chenglian's words equated the gravedigger with the "Shaohua" behind her.

"Their position is relatively reliable, and they are unlikely to set a trap during the meeting."

"Then you should go yourself," Xu Ting said, puzzled.

"You trust me that much? You even need me to handle something like this?"

Upon hearing Xu Ting's words, Jiang Chenglian revealed a bright smile and said:

"Of course I trust Miss Faded. If you hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't even know about the epitaph incident."

"However, I have other important matters to attend to right now, and I can't get away for the time being."

If you had something urgent, why didn't you contact Miyan later...?

Xu Ting couldn't understand the girl's intentions. She carefully examined Jiang Chenglian's body and then discovered the clue.

She stepped forward, grabbed the girl's arm, and aligned the bandage on the inside of Jiang Chenglian's upper arm with her own.

Are you injured?

"What happened?"

"Um...it's for some special reasons," Jiang Chenglian said vaguely.

"I won't lie to you, actually at first I thought the injury wasn't serious, so I made an appointment to meet."

"But the wound is getting worse and worse, so bad that I have to use all my magic to suppress it. I was afraid that something might happen during the meeting and I wouldn't be able to handle it, so I thought of asking you to help me out."

this......

Xu Ting no longer wanted to use "naive" and "reckless" to describe Jiang Chenglian.

All she can say about this stupid girl right now is "going around in circles to get herself killed".

Since you're already injured, you shouldn't have arranged to meet with Miyan in the first place!

Xu Ting grew increasingly anxious, but she still examined the wound carefully.

Soon, she noticed something crucial in what appeared to be an ordinary wound.

The same golden magic as the gravedigger.

Could it be a wound left from activating the barrier? But doesn't Jiang Chenglian have a token?

Unless... she panicked when she discovered that the barrier could only be activated by magical girls in the Feathered Stage, and prepared to force her way through the barrier.

Naturally, she was attacked by the barrier as an intruder, leaving this wound.

Although there isn't much evidence, Xu Ting believes this must be the truth.

She gently placed Jiang Cheng's injured arm back in place, released her grip, and said:

"Don't rush the meeting, treat your injuries first."

"That won't work," Jiang Chenglian replied. "I made an appointment to meet them. If I go back on my word, they'll definitely be angry."

Getting angry over skipping a date is a matter of interpersonal relationships.

This is not the case for established leaders of a powerful force.

not to mention......

"It's alright, because I am the magical girl sent by Mystery to meet you."

Upon hearing Xu Ting's words, Jiang Chenglian showed a dumbfounded expression for the first time.

This girl, who had caused Xu Ting to repeatedly break down in a series of major scandals, was finally shocked by Xu Ting in return.

"Miss Faded Beauty, you...you...you..."

She pointed at Xu Ting with her good arm, unable to straighten her tongue for a moment.

"I am a follower of the Mystery," Xu Ting said. "But yesterday, I didn't know you represented that [Youthful Radiance]. I really thought you were a simple magical girl who came to find her brother."

"I really did come to see my brother," Jiang Chenglian said subconsciously.

She closed her eyes, made a long "hmm~" sound, and finally made up her mind to open her eyes and say:

"Miss Faded Beauty, I believe you."

"I think it was just a coincidence that we met first. Your concern for me and your anxiety about the crisis don't seem like an act."

After saying that, she walked to the safe house, plopped down on the sofa, and stretched out her injured arm without any precautions.

"We can talk while we heal."

Xu Ting sat down opposite her.

She asked the crow for help on how to heal her wounds. The crow was not very interested in healing, but it still told her what to do.

"Miss Yunyi, if you believe in me, then accept my magic."

Xu Ting placed his fingers on the wound, causing Jiang Cheng to cry out in pain.

"Oh, okay... Miss Lost in Color, please."

Xu Ting infused the wound with red magic and immediately felt the golden magic surging within it.

These golden magical energies were extremely aggressive, viciously attacking the black magical energy that Jiang Cheng already possessed within his body.

However, the golden magic did not react much to Xu Ting's red magic.

According to the crow, this is because Xu Ting did not attempt to invade the barrier and was not on the magic's blacklist.

Taking advantage of this, Xu Ting used his magic to completely surround the golden magic.

After being surrounded, the golden magic could no longer attack Jiang Chenglian's black magic and gradually returned to calm.

This tactic is somewhat similar to "releasing an air wall" in some strategy games.

By using neutral forces to separate the borders of two warring nations, it is possible to prevent their armies from fighting there.

"Miss Faded Beauty, that's amazing! The magic has truly calmed down!"

Jiang Chenglian exclaimed in delight.

Xu Ting, however, remained serious:

"It's not over yet."

Yes, it's not over yet; this is just a temporary solution.

The only way to make the two sides permanently reconcile is to completely defeat one of them.

Therefore, Xu Ting summoned the special power within her body—

Willpower.

"Miss Yunyi, please control your magic!"

After giving a reminder, Xu Ting activated the power within his body.

The power of the Lord's will and the power of the Divine Servant's will entered Jiang Chenglian's body one after the other.

Ultimately, they all originated from the power of the evil god's apostles. Even if they had allied themselves with Xu Ting, they still bore the marks of the evil god's apostles.

Jiang Chenglian's internal demonic energy suddenly became agitated and attacked the willpower, but fortunately, he managed to restrain it, thus preventing any problems.

The golden magic belonging to the gravediggers was now unrestrained.

They immediately regarded the originally neutral Xu Ting as an enemy and launched a vicious attack on the two forces of will, which also attacked Xu Ting's red magic power.

Xu Ting seized the opportunity to withdraw his magic, but the golden magic relentlessly pursued him.

In the end, it was completely eaten by crows that were waiting on the way.

"The wound doesn't seem to hurt anymore." Jiang Chenglian looked at his arm, where the golden magic power was no longer present.

She grasped Xu Ting's hands tightly and said excitedly:

"Miss Lost in Color, you are truly a miraculous healer!"

Xu Ting responded a few times, then said seriously:

"Miss Yunyi, can we now get down to business?"

"Alright!" Jiang Chenglian immediately sat up straight and obediently faced Xu Ting.

If only she could be this well-behaved at other times...

However, Xu Ting also had an idea.

"Personally, I hope Ms. Yunyi can do something for me to prove her position."

"This way, I can give an explanation to myself, to the mystery behind me, and to the other illegal magical girls."

She wanted to assign Jiang Chenglian a task.

Then, during that mission, Jiang Chenglian will understand just how dangerous her situation really is.
