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

"Nature, the ability to foresee the future."

Xing Rui raised her hand.

"As a qualified and competent reseller, it is my duty to be familiar with the products and understand the customers."

"..." Li Wenyin glared at her. "So, senior, you know that this is a mobile disguise device, and you gave it to me on purpose? What are you doing, messing with me for fun?"

Seeing her resentful gaze, Xing Rui shrank back and explained, "You can't say that. I found out you wanted to attend the ball but didn't have a suitable dress, so I thought I'd return the favor and specially gave it to you."

For Xing Rui, an equal exchange is especially important. She doesn't want to owe Li Wenyin a favor forever. The student council's attention is particularly troublesome for Xing Rui. Getting rid of the student council's attention is not something that can be done by simply helping to put on a show.

"Is this...appropriate?" Li Wenyin adjusted her clothes.

When the ten-minute time limit was up, her clothes changed from a formal dress to a prison uniform.

"Oh dear," Xing Rui said shyly, "it's okay. Every time this magic artifact refreshes a hundred sets of clothes, you can make a wish. The clothes that appear next time will definitely be the ones you want!"

Li Wenyin remained silent.

This thing even has a guaranteed minimum reward?!

Every 100 sets allow you to make a wish once, which is 1,000 minutes, or about 16 or 17 hours. Thinking about it that way, it's actually pretty good.

Seeing that her expression had softened considerably, Xing Rui encouraged her, "You should have made a few targeted wishes by now, why don't you give it a try?"

Li Wenyin knew she had to test Xing Rui's claims in person to see if they were true. She couldn't let her guard down around this Miss Polaris. After thinking for a moment, she began to make a silent wish in her heart.

A few minutes later, Li Wenyin, dressed as the incorruptible judge Bao Zheng, made a dazzling appearance.

Li Wenyin was delighted: "Yes, making a specific wish is true."

Xing Rui: "..."

Asking her questions in that manner really added a lot of pressure.

-

"A magical artifact with the ability to foresee the future," Li Wenyin looked at Xing Rui, "why would you, senior, consider reselling it?"

"It's powerful, but it's also very dangerous. It's been sitting in our association for a long time, and nobody's used it."

Xing Rui thought for a moment and then introduced herself.

"I didn't expect that kid named Si Zeyi wasn't on the list of participants, but he stumbled in by accident and immediately picked out this magical artifact. He offered very generous terms, so I sold it to him."

It was probably due to Si Zeyi's "opportunity" again.

Li Wenyin was silent for a moment, then asked, "How many people know the function of that demonic artifact?"

"just me."

Xing Rui continued answering.

"You'd really sell the ability to foresee the future?" Li Wenyin asked, half-believing.

"It's best to avoid things like predicting the future, which sounds like they're related to dark magic," Xing Rui said firmly. "Although I'm daring and reckless, it's better to be cautious when it comes to dark magic."

Li Wenyin: "Finally, you've stopped pretending to be stupid, Senior Polaris."

Xing Rui smiled shyly, but it was unclear how much of that embarrassment was genuine.

-

"Senior, what else do you know about Si Zeyi's magical artifact?" Li Wenyin thought for a moment and asked, "How did the trade fair acquire this artifact? How exactly does it work, predicting the future... how does it predict the future? How far into the future?"

"Well, Li Wenyin, my junior."

Xing Rui walked over, rubbing her hands together with great interest.

Li Wenyin: "?"

"As you know, information is also a traded item at our trade fair. If you want to know these things, you should offer something in exchange, right?" Xing Rui said.

"?" Li Wenyin stared at her incredulously.

As expected of Polaris, the central brain of the trade fair management, even at this time, he still tries to make trades whenever he can.

"Senior, aren't you afraid I'll wipe you all out?"

"Yes, I'm scared," Xing Rui said frankly. "But as the saying goes, the bigger the storm, the more valuable the fish. We can make some deals that satisfy both of us."

Li Wenyin: "I'll go back right now and report this to the student council!"

"Then..." Xing Rui was hurt, but stubbornly insisted, "Then you won't get any news about me. I haven't done anything wrong, and the student council can't force me to answer that! Besides, I know you guys know some mind-reading magic, and I have ways to defend myself!"

Li Wenyin: "..."

"Polaris, Polaris, alright, senior, you win."

Xing Rui's bright eyes flashed with a triumphant light.

-

It was unrealistic to expect to unilaterally and overwhelmingly defeat Polaris; after a long stalemate, the two sides were evenly matched.

After thinking about it carefully, Li Wenyin felt it was a good idea. She could get a lot of useful information from Xing Rui. Right now, only Xing Rui knew about the future magic weapon, so she felt it wasn't impossible to make a deal with her.

However... Li Wenyin originally had nothing to do with the trade fair. But after this deal was done, things might change. Who knows when the trade fair would be exposed and the entire student council would be arrested, and Li Wenyin might also have to suffer some punishment.

However, she is also a daring and reckless person, so it's not impossible to give it a try.

"Senior, what do you want from me?"

Xing Rui replied, "It's also information. I only have one question."

Li Wenyin and Xing Rui sat down together at a table opposite each other by the window. Looking at each other, Li Wenyin gestured, "Please speak."

Xing Rui's somewhat frivolous smile faded, and she looked directly into Li Wenyin's eyes with seriousness.

"Li Wenyin, where is my younger brother, Xing Qi, now?"

-

One fatal blow.

Li Wenyin was speechless.

She had considered many questions Xing Rui might ask, even thinking about helping Xing Rui cover up the truth and break the rules, but this one question hit her right where it hurts, and Li Wenyin really had no way to answer it.

This reaction confirmed one of Xing Rui's suspicions.

Xing Rui understood: "As expected, you knew where he was."

"...Why are you asking me?" Li Wenyin asked dryly.

Xing Rui: "Ever since that night when you asked me if I knew him, he disappeared. After thinking it over and over, the only thing I can think of is that he's connected to you."

That night...

Li Wenyin found it difficult to speak.

That night, Ruiyuan, also known as Xing Qi, was subdued and detained by the student council. While trying their best to eliminate the harm caused by his magical beast blood, they also forced Xing Qi to dispel all the magic he was casting.

Xing Qi mentioned that the "Xing Qi" who had always been by Xing Rui's side was an illusion he had cast on her. The real Xing Qi had left Xing Rui years ago to torment himself.

After being subdued, Xing Qi's illusion magic was dispelled, and the illusion of Xing Qi next to Xing Rui naturally disappeared.

Xing Qi, whose appearance and even identity were changed by the blood of a monster, transformed into Rui Yuan and has been living in the student council building as a serious criminal.

Xing Rui kept avoiding the student council.
