A little girl at a magic school, she's a goofy troublemaker who can do anything.

The dark night sky was adorned with stars, and two young girls sat on the edge of a cliff, chatting in the gentle breeze.

The president's words were really useful. Zhu Yunxi patted and clapped for a long time and finally managed to coax Li Wenyin, who was almost lost, back to her senses.

Li Wenyin swung her leg, feeling extremely embarrassed, and scratched her cheek before asking, "Senior Sister Zhu, will you stay here with me the whole time?"

"Okay! Someone will be here to handle this matter soon. Until then, I'll stay with you," Zhu Yunxi said.

The inexplicable panic in Li Wenyin's heart subsided considerably. With the girl's firm and resolute voice, she felt much more at ease and suddenly realized that the sky hadn't fallen and she didn't need to be afraid.

Just accept the punishment for your mistakes.

Zhu Yunxi looked at her and suddenly said, "Let's have a chat."

"?" Li Wenyin wondered if they hadn't been chatting the whole time, but still asked, "Well, there's something I'm curious about, Senior Sister Zhu, how did you suddenly end up here?"

Upon hearing this question, Zhu Yunxi suddenly pointed mysteriously to the sky: "From there."

"Huh?" Li Wenyin looked up and saw nothing but stars in the sky.

Zhu Yunxi: "There is a sky garden in the sky, far above the ground. It is a garden in the minister's house. It has been used for the minister's birthday banquet since the day before yesterday."

Sky...Garden...

Li Wenyin looked at the sky a few more times in surprise because of what she said, wondering which star in the sky the sky garden belonged to. She felt quite emotional, thinking, "Is this what the evil rich people are like?"

"I couldn't understand their social interactions. The minister noticed that I kept accidentally breaking plates when I was idle, so he said he would give me some free time to wander around on my own," Zhu Yunxi recalled. "When I was standing on the edge of the garden, I suddenly sensed an unusual magical fluctuation below, so I jumped down and found you."

As she spoke, Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, "It's about freedom."

"..." Li Wenyin said quietly, "Isn't this a little too much freedom?"

"Is that so?" Zhu Yunxi was very confused.

"So you mean," Li Wenyin said, gathering her thoughts, "that he told you to go out for a walk, and without telling him, you jumped into the garden and haven't come back yet?"

Zhu Yunxi nodded: "Mm!"

"So, did you send any message back later?" Li Wenyin asked. "You've been missing for so long, he must be worried sick."

There was supposed to be a message, but because we had to listen to the chairman and couldn't reveal Li Wenyin's situation for the time being, it wasn't sent.

Zhu Yunxi shook her head: "He didn't say. Don't worry! The minister will understand! He won't be in a hurry!"

"Really?" Li Wenyin asked, half-believing. "Senior Sister Zhu, do you want to check if you've received any communications from him?"

Zhu Yunxi went to check as instructed.

After discussing with Yuchi Quan, the powerful humanoid magical artifact thoughtfully suppressed the magical fluctuations on site, naturally shielding the location and cutting off any external probing.

Then Li Wenyin saw Zhu Yunxi's eyes glaze over for a moment, and then she suddenly exclaimed, "Wow, there are 315 missed calls from the minister! Strange, is something wrong with the minister?"

Li Wenyin: "..."

Where is the calm? I'm frantic! I'm practically screaming for my baby to come home!

-

"Well... now that you know he's looking for you, aren't you going to reply to his messages or something?" Li Wenyin asked tentatively.

Considering that the president hadn't arrived yet and the next step hadn't been decided, Zhu Yunxi shook her head: "I won't go back."

hiss--

Li Wenyin asked, "Did you two have a fight?" So she wanted to suddenly disappear and get revenge on him?

"No." Zhu Yunxi shook her head again, puzzled as to why Li Wenyin asked this question. How should she answer? Yuchi Quan hadn't taught her.

So the clever senior student, Zhu, started to improvise. After a moment of thought, she said, "Because he said he would give me freedom, then I'll give him freedom."

Li Wenyin: "..."

They must have had a fight after all.

What could possibly be arguing between them? Based on Li Wenyin's previous observations, Shangguan Yu was very obedient to her, and Senior Sister Zhu wouldn't ask for anything, right?

She mentioned breaking a plate at the birthday party. Did she actually do something at that large social occasion that made Shangguan Yu reprimand her?

From Shangguan Yu's perspective, it was like he impulsively said a few words to her at his birthday party, and then she disappeared the moment he turned around. He couldn't reach her by phone either, and he was filled with regret.

Or was it really an excessive insult? It provoked even Senior Sister Zhu to the point of losing her temper.

No way, is that really what she thinks? What a melodramatic plot.

...Never mind, I'll support Senior Sister Zhu's temporary freedom. Anyway, she won't get lost. She's with Li Wenyin now, and when the people who are handling this matter come, she can be taken back to the Shangguan family.

So, is Shangguan Yu really this kind of person? I never would have guessed. He seems so refined on the surface, but he does the same things as a scumbag in a novel...

Zhu Yunxi was unaware that she had ruined her pitiful minister's image with just a few words, and was happily looking up at the stars.

-

Li Wenyin had almost fully recovered and asked Zhu Yunxi, "Who will deal with me?"

If possible, she hoped it wouldn't be someone she knew. It's quite embarrassing that someone who acts all proper at school would reveal their true colors so soon after the holidays.

This time she had caused a huge mess, much more serious than before, and she still didn't want her friends to know, especially him.

Li Wenyin thought that she would silently accept the punishment and then appear in front of them in the new semester with a positive and energetic attitude, and just play around with them.

But she always had a premonition that the more she didn't want someone to come, the more likely that person would...

"Questioning Sound".

The gentle voice behind her traveled on the night breeze to her ears.

Li Wenyin's breath hitched.

It really was him.

Zhu Yunxi, standing in front of her, noticed the person behind her: "They're here!"

Li Wenyin didn't dare turn around. With her head down and body stiff, she sighed, thinking how pathetic she had been this time.

The person behind her approached step by step. Li Wenying's heart pounded. She felt that remaining silent and avoiding the situation wouldn't solve anything. With a burst of courage, she stood up, turned around, and bowed her head to admit her mistake: "I'm sorry, I was really wrong this time. I will definitely change. I can accept any punishment!"

He was incredibly sincere, more sincere than he had ever been when admitting his mistake.

Not daring to look at the person in front of her, Li Wenyin bowed her head and apologized, her body almost bent at a ninety-degree angle, quietly waiting for his verdict.

The boy in front of her stopped in his tracks, remained silent for a moment, and then spoke with a gentle smile:

"Then, pack your things and come with me."

what?

Li Wenyin suddenly looked up.

-

It was past midnight, and only a few drunkards remained on the streets of the small town, staggering and lying on the roadside. Li Wenyin cautiously followed Yu Chiquan and Zhu Yunxi back to the crime scene to check the situation.

The chess and card building had collapsed, and four bodies lay scattered around it like corpses strewn across the ground.

The four people did not appear to have any injuries, but they were all unconscious, their brows tightly furrowed, looking like they were in great pain.

Li Wenyin asked tentatively, slightly puzzled, "Senior Sister Zhu, this...?"

"They've been cured! But there's no way to save them mentally," Zhu Yunxi replied. "They're probably trapped in a kind of mental illusion, suffering from mental instability while believing they're still being burned by fire, but they aren't."

"Oh, I see." Li Wenyin secretly spat in her heart, "Serves him right."

She turned to observe Yuchi Quan's expression: "Um, how do you think the punishment should be..."

The handsome young man, dressed in slightly thicker casual clothes, exuded an air of elegance and nobility despite his simple and casual attire, and was staring thoughtfully at the crime scene.

While he was thinking, Li Wenyin whispered to Zhu Yunxi, "Senior Zhu, is your student council really that busy? Do you have to work even during winter break?"

"No, the president is here on behalf of the Ministry of Magic. He is one of the heads of the Ministry of Magic," Zhu Yunxi said obediently.

Ministry of Magic?

Li Wenyin thought in surprise that although she had long known of Yuchi Quan's existence as a major villain in the novel, with descriptions of his family's immense power and his absolute control, and the traces of his family everywhere, he was a classic high-ranking villain.

But when I actually saw it, I was still quite shocked.

What kind of family exactly is it?

Li Wenyin asked in a low voice, "What does the president's family do?"

"Um......"

Zhu Yunxi pondered for a moment, seemingly trying to figure out how to answer Li Wenyin. After thinking for a long time, she felt it was difficult to say anything, so she started telling a story.

"A thousand years ago, someone discovered the existence of magic in this world, directly ushering in a new era and creating a new world of magic. That person was therefore known as the Origin Magician."

"And this Origin Mage's surname is Yuchi."

Li Wenyin trembled.

Holy crap!

-

After waiting patiently for a long time, Yu Chi Quan finally emerged from the ruins. Li Wenyin stared at him expectantly, obediently awaiting her verdict.

Seeing her pitifully squatting beside him drawing circles, Yu Chi Quan squatted down as well: "Wen Yin, your excessive use of unregistered magic outside of school this time is a serious violation."

Li Wenyin nodded obediently, sincerely admitting her mistake.

"Fortunately," Yuchi Quan said with a smile, "it didn't cause any problems, so a light punishment is appropriate."

what?

Li Wenyin looked up in astonishment, blinking as she glanced at the dilapidated and charred mahjong parlor next to her, and the four corpses lying across the roadside.

Where was there no impact?

Zhu Yunxi nodded in agreement, "What a stroke of luck!"

Li Wenyin: "This building..."

"It's winter, the weather is dry and fire is easily ignited. Scattered cigarette butts can easily cause disasters. I don't know how it happened, maybe it was a natural disaster by accident."

Yuchi Quan glanced back at the ruins thoughtfully.

"And this building is an illegal structure; it should have collapsed long ago."

Zhu Yunxi nodded in agreement: "It should have collapsed long ago, it should have collapsed long ago."

it is good.

Li Wenyin nodded firmly, then asked, "And these people...?"

"It's normal to be frightened when faced with such a major natural disaster."

Yu Chi Quan smiled and said it quite reasonably.

"Alas, humanity is so fragile and insignificant in the face of disaster. Wenyin, three of these four people are nominally your relatives. I'm sorry, please accept my condolences."

Zhu Yunxi: "Please accept my condolences. Please accept my condolences."

it is good.

Li Wenyin nodded again: "Then I..."

Yu Chi Quan's gentle, smiling eyes darkened slightly, and he said with a hint of regret and heartache, "Faced with such a huge disaster, Wen Yin, you couldn't save your loved ones in time. Overwhelmed with self-blame, you've started to imagine that it was your fault, conjuring up events that never happened. There seems to be a specific medical term for this, Zhu Yunxi?"

Zhu Yunxi chimed in, "It's post-disaster survivor syndrome."

it is good.

Li Wenyin smiled helplessly.

She watched helplessly as the two of them colluded to abuse their power for personal gain, with the one in charge looking at her with an air of "I don't care, so what if I can control everything?"

Knowing that she understood what he meant, Yu Chiquan patiently said, "Wen Yin, if you hate someone again in the future, don't act impulsively. You can tell us, and we can discuss legal and compliant revenge together."

Li Wenyin thought he was about to get serious, so she obediently replied, "Mm."

"As for this time," Yu Chiquan pondered the scene, "let's just let it go this time. You've already regretted it and felt guilty, and your mental anguish is no less than theirs."

Li Wenyin: "..."

In the end, he still wanted to control everything!

Zhu Yunxi wholeheartedly agreed: "Yes, yes, their pain is your pain."

-

After inspecting the scene and confirming that Zhu Yunxi had cleaned up all the remaining magic, leaving only a charred mess and four unconscious people, they then set off to leave.

Li Wenying followed beside Yu Chiquan, unsure how to express her gratitude. After hesitating for a while, she finally managed to utter, "Then, as a light punishment, what do I need to do?"

"The Ministry of Magic receives many requests from various noble families, asking them to send people over to handle certain issues," Yu Chi Quan said, looking at Li Wenyin. "As punishment, you can't stay at home for the New Year this winter break. You'll have to come with me to complete a request, and you'll do it without pay."

This sounds...

This is absolutely fantastic news!

Why don't you stay home and spend the New Year with him?

Li Wenyin was so happy she wanted to jump for joy, but since it was still nominally a punishment, she couldn't be too obviously happy. So she secretly rejoiced, her lips curling up for miles, while pretending to be very regretful.

"So, may I ask which company will handle the commission?"

Yu Chi Quan could tell she was very happy, his eyes sparkling with laughter. Without revealing his true feelings, he dropped another big surprise: "Hmm... it's a request from Yu Zhiyuan, a family of magical beast enthusiasts in the north."
