Physical mage, challenge me to a solo duel!
Chapter 55 Matryoshka Dolls
Wu Manqi continued, "Although the person who hired Emman Morris is my second uncle's subordinate, he is actually someone else's mole, and that person is my second uncle's rival."
Wang Yi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Good grief, are they playing double agents?
"So this person hired Emmanuel Morris to attack you simply to divert attention and drag my second uncle into the mess by using your conflict with Manager Wu." Wu Manqi explained everything clearly in a few words.
Wang Yi recalled what Xu Jun had said before: barring any unforeseen circumstances, Wu Guan's father would become the head of the education system in Lanling City next year.
Clearly, some people want something to happen to Wang Yi, and then make Wang Yi the one who causes Wu Guan's father's accident.
What's this? Is it like the fish in the moat getting caught in the crossfire when the city gates catch fire?
It's basically reasonable, but there are still problems.
"Is my weight that heavy?" Wang Yi asked doubtfully.
He was just an ordinary student, with no money or power. Even if he was attacked by a sorcerer and there were legitimate reasons to suspect that it was Wu Guan's revenge, it was unlikely that this incident would become the reason why Wu Guan's father was dragged down with him.
There's no need to even discuss whether the evidence is sufficient or not. Even if that double agent had already made up his mind and directly confessed to acting under the orders of Wu Guan's father, personally giving false testimony and framing him with his own future and safety, it still might not be enough to shake Wu Guan's father's position.
Because Wang Yi's weight was simply too light, not enough at all.
"Of course, normally you wouldn't be good enough, but what can I do when you happen to be a student in Class 3 of Grade 1?"
Wu Manqi's almond-shaped eyes widened slightly, her expression somewhat unnatural. She forcibly suppressed her surprise, then put on a smile and looked behind Wang Yi: "Right, Teacher Bai?"
Only then did Wang Yi belatedly turn his head and finally see Bai Yu's figure.
While feeling relieved, I couldn't help but feel indignant.
It turned out that Bai Yu had arrived long ago and was lying in ambush, but unfortunately, he didn't make a move at the crucial moment, which almost made him go back to change his pants.
"No!" Wang Yi narrowed his eyes and turned to look at Wu Manqi again.
Since Bai Yu was already there, it's impossible that he would just stand by and watch him be in danger without taking action. So, there might be another explanation for what just happened:
Wu Manqi was actually already there. The reason Bai Yu didn't make a move was because she discovered the hidden Wu Manqi and wanted to know Wu Manqi's stance and purpose, so she refrained from taking action.
So Bai Yu only appeared after Wu Manqi rescued Wang Yi.
"Come out." Bai Yu's voice was cold. She ignored Wang Yi and Wu Manqi, her eyes still fixed on the darkness behind Wu Manqi.
Tap! Tap!
Footsteps sounded, and a middle-aged man in a suit and tie emerged from the darkness.
He bent his arms and raised his hands to his sides to show that he meant no harm.
Wu Manqi hurriedly explained to Bai Yu, "Teacher Bai, this is Uncle Li, my elder. He's the one who saved junior Wang Yi just now."
Wang Yi thought to himself, "This is a bad thing."
He thought it was Wu Manqi who had subdued Ayman Morris, and he was amazed at how talented Wu Manqi was, being a medical mage who could subdue a mid-level mage in one move.
It turns out there was someone else behind it all.
Goodness, Emmanuel thought there were only two people in the alley, Wang Yi thought there were only three people in the alley, and Wu Manqi thought there were only four people in the alley.
In fact, there were five people hiding in the alley.
There are matryoshka dolls here!
So many talented people are hidden in this small alley.
Bai Yu approached Wang Yi, her gaze shifting between Wu Manqi and her Uncle Li before finally settling on Wu Manqi's face. She questioned, "Since you already knew about this attack targeting Wang Yi, why did you allow it to happen and put him in danger?"
Wu Manqi smiled and explained, "Teacher Bai, you misunderstood. My second uncle only just learned of this news and immediately sent Uncle Li and me to come and help. Fortunately, we were not late and our junior did not suffer any mishap."
At this point, Wu Manqi gave Wang Yi another deep look: "But now it seems that my junior is not only exceptionally strong, but also very thoughtful and well-prepared."
I'm sure even if Uncle Li and I hadn't arrived in time, my junior wouldn't have been in any danger.
Wang Yi smiled brightly: "If you have a problem, ask the teacher. Even elementary school students know that."
Upon hearing this, Bai Yu couldn't help but glare at Wang Yi. When she first received Wang Yi's message, she really thought that he was joking with her and playing a trick on her.
After all, given Wang Yi's past behavior, it's not like he wouldn't do something so absurd.
Fortunately, Bai Yu ultimately decided to come over herself, believing it was better to be safe than sorry.
However, it seems that whether she comes or not, Wang Yi will ultimately not be in danger.
With two beautiful women serving him at the same time, how could he not be incredibly fortunate?
Bai Yu glanced at Wu Manqi. Although she taught the first-year students, there weren't many students at Lanling Magic High School, so Bai Yu knew Wu Manqi, who was a senior.
Moreover, one of the only two guaranteed admission spots for this year's graduating class belongs to Wu Manqi.
"You weren't late." Bai Yu directly exposed Wu Manqi's lie: "You were already here before this person even made a move."
Upon hearing this, Uncle Li, who was standing behind Wu Manqi, narrowed his eyes. He was just one step away from becoming a high-level mage, but he had not noticed the presence of Bai Yu, a mid-level mage, at all.
The teachers at Lanling Magic High School are indeed not to be underestimated.
However, he didn't explain much. He was only responsible for taking action this time, and Wu Manqi was in charge of everything else.
Wu Manqi was also startled. She thought Bai Yu was the one who had just arrived, but she didn't expect Bai Yu to arrive earlier than her, and it was even possible that Bai Yu had been monitoring her every move the whole time.
Fortunately, her purpose in coming here was indeed to save Wang Yi.
The reason why Wu Manqi didn't have Uncle Li capture Amy Morris as soon as he appeared wasn't because she had any ulterior motives.
It was just because Wang Yi had rejected her multiple times that she wanted to teach Wang Yi a lesson.
Moreover, acting at crucial moments always yields greater gratitude.
So Wu Manqi explained with utmost sincerity: "Teacher Bai, Uncle Li is only a mid-level mage, not to mention me, a beginner-level healer, whose combat strength is probably not even as good as junior Wang Yi."
If Uncle Li were to reveal himself too early, a direct confrontation might be able to protect his junior, but it wouldn't necessarily stop Ayman Morris from escaping. That's why he had to hide in the shadows, relying on his junior to distract him, and then seize the opportunity to launch a sneak attack.
Bai Yu smiled dismissively, but did not refute.
