Chapter 126 Just a Little Bit More

Mira was very surprised and taken aback, for reasons similar to what Qi Yan had thought. After all, Qi Yan was only a newcomer who had joined the Fairy Tail guild a year ago.

Such an important position as guild leader should be chosen from among those with more seniority.

In the Fairy Tail guild, there are only two people who are most likely to succeed as guild leader.

One is Uncle Gildarts. Uncle Gildarts has been in the Fairy Tail guild since he was a child. He is the strongest mage in Fairy Tail, and everyone in the guild trusts him very much.

The other one is Laxus. Laxus is the chairman's grandson. It makes sense for a son to inherit his father's position and for a grandson to take over his grandfather's position.

Unexpectedly, the president actually wants to pass the position to Qi Yan.

She was very familiar with Qi Yan, and Qi Yan was indeed the best candidate for president, but she still felt that the president's decision was somewhat hasty.

Qi Yan nodded helplessly: "Yeah! So do you think I can be happy?"

Mira couldn't help but find Qi Yan's expression amusing: "What? You're so unwilling to be the president?"

"Of course I don't want to! Being the guild leader is such a hassle! Not only do I have to deal with all sorts of things every day, but I also have to go to the Magic Council and get yelled at by the Magic Council members! I have to write self-criticisms, mediate conflicts between guild members and members of other guilds, and even mediate conflicts between members of my own guild. I also have to attend regular meetings and listen to a bunch of old geezers bragging..."

"Haha~~!!"

Hearing Qi Yan's words, Mira couldn't help but laugh. What Qi Yan said was true; the president had indeed been doing this kind of thing all along.

"You don't want to be it, but Laxus really wants to be the chairman."

"Laxus? That guy's head is full of nothing but being the strongest. Being the strongest isn't something you say, it's something you prove in battle. What's so great about showing off in the guild? If you're so capable, go and fight the Elite Four of Ishgar."

"By the way, don't tell anyone that the guild leader is going to pass the position to me. I'm afraid that Laxus won't be able to handle the provocation and will come after me."

Mira blinked: "Are you still afraid of Laxus?"

She knew that Qi Yan, though sometimes seemingly timid, was actually fearless and bolder than anyone else in the guild. He dared to take on S-rank missions as soon as he joined the guild; she had never seen anyone as daring as Qi Yan.

"It's not that I'm afraid of Laxus, it's that I'm afraid of trouble. If Laxus finds out about this, he might cause a huge scene at Fairy Tail. The old guild was just destroyed, and the new guild hasn't even been built yet. I don't want to destroy the new guild as well. Besides, Laxus is the guild master's grandson. If I really beat him up, it will be hard to explain to the guild master."

Mira smiled upon hearing this. Indeed, given Laxus's personality, it was quite possible that he would do such a thing.

"So in the end? Did you agree?"

Qi Yan nodded: "The old man didn't give me a chance to refuse! I could only agree, but fortunately the timeline can be pushed back, two years. The old man said he would work for another two years, then my qualifications would be barely enough."

"Two years? The chairman will be ninety in two years, and it is indeed time for him to retire."

Even though you're retired, you can still work in the guild. Just like her, she also retired from being an active mage and now works in the guild in charge of logistics. After the guild leader retires, there won't be that heavy workload, and life will be easier.

"Forget it! I won't think about it too much. I'll become the president in two years, or I'll pass the position to Erza if I don't want to be. Then I'll continue to be my S-class mage."

Mira found Qi Yan's words quite amusing. Some people were vying to be the president, but Qi Yan seemed to have "I don't want to be the president" written all over his face.

Soon after, Mira arrived home. When Elfman was around, Qi Yan would go home first, but when he and Mira were together, he would usually drop Mira off first and then go home himself.

This time, however, the two were reluctant to part, and their eyes met with a strong, sweet smell of love.

"How about... you come to my place for a while longer..."

"This...it's so late, isn't this inappropriate..."

"Let's go! I'm a little hungry."

"That's...okay!"

Qi Yan took Mila's hand and walked with her towards his home. Qi Yan could feel that Mila's palms were slightly sweaty, and he was actually a little nervous as well.

Although he liked Mila before, their relationship hadn't reached that point, so he naturally didn't consider those things. Their relationship was more like that of friends.

But now that they're dating, the feeling is naturally different.

As soon as they entered the room, Qi Yan put one arm around Mira's slender waist and pressed the other against the wall, pinning Mira against the wall. Qi Yan stared intently at Mira, and his gaze was so intense that anyone but a blind person could understand it. Mira was very shy under Qi Yan's gaze, so she simply closed her eyes.

"Mira...I..."

This look of being at his mercy made Qi Yan's heart pound, and he was just preparing for his next move.

BOOM!

The door to Qi Yan's house was opened.

"Something's wrong! Qi Yan! Loki, he..."

Gray hurriedly opened the door, but upon seeing the two people's posture, he immediately realized that he had arrived at a rather inopportune time.

Qi Yan wore a pained expression. Why was it that every time he tried to do something, someone would get in his way? Damn it! He was so close! And weren't these guys too casual about coming into his house? He thought he should put up a sign on the door next time.

Mira couldn't help but find Qi Yan's pained expression somewhat amusing, but she also felt a slight sense of relief, since she wasn't really ready yet.

Mira asked Loki, "Grey, what's wrong with Loki?"

She could tell something was wrong from Gray's panicked state.

"Loki...Loki has left Fairy Tail!!"

"what?!"

"what happened?!"

Qi Yan and Mira also stopped smiling. Loki was a partner they were quite familiar with, so why would he suddenly leave Fairy Tail?

"I don't know. Everyone's looking for him now. That guy... he's been acting really strange lately."

Gray, Loki's best friend, noticed that Loki had been acting strangely lately, but he didn't know what was wrong and ignored it. Unexpectedly, when he returned to his dorm today, he found a note left by Loki that said, "I'm leaving."

Mira suddenly remembered something: "This afternoon, a group of people claiming to be Loki's girlfriends came to the guild and said that Loki broke up with them last night. It is indeed strange that someone as fickle as Loki would break up with someone like that."

Mira understood Loki's personality; it was true that Loki was a sea king, but he was very good to all his girlfriends.

Most importantly, Loki left the guild without a word, which is not right. Even if he had something to do, he should have explained the reason to everyone in the guild.

“Loki…I roughly know where he is…”

Chapter 127 You Won't Die

"you know?!"

Gray and Mira both looked at Qi Yan.

"Really?! Qi Yan, you know where Loki is?!"

Gray was somewhat agitated. Loki was one of his best friends, and he was very worried about his sudden departure.

"Hmm... more or less."

As a man who had watched the entire Fairy Tail storyline, he naturally knew Loki. Loki's role wasn't large, but it wasn't insignificant either.

"where is he?"

"Hmm...it should be with his owner!"

"Owner?!"

Mira and Gray were both confused. What the heck was "master"?

"Oh! By the way, you guys didn't know! Loki isn't human, he's a Protoss."

"Protoss?!"

Mira and Gray were stunned when they heard this. Of course they knew what Celestial Spirits were. Although Celestial Spirit Mages were rare, they did exist. For example, Lucy, a newcomer to the guild, was a Celestial Spirit Mage.

"No...no? How could Loki be a Protoss?!"

"Yes! Qi Yan, how do you know Loki's identity?"

Qi Yan came up with a reason and said, "Isn't what I received a Heroic Spirit? Heroic Spirits and Celestial Spirits are both spirits, so I can sense that the other party is not human. Isn't Lucy a Celestial Spirit Mage? After the mission on Galna Island, when I saw the Celestial Spirit summoned by Lucy, I knew that Loki's identity was a Celestial Spirit."

Who is Loki's master?

"I don't know about that."

This is no lie, because he really doesn't remember who Loki's master is.

"Then let's go out and look for it."

Mira was somewhat worried about Loki's condition.

"No need, I'll go."

"Do you know where Loki is?!"

Qi Yan nodded: "Yes, I have my own way of finding him."

"real?!"

"Full Body Absorption - Ulquiorra Cifer!"

Qi Yan accepted Xiao Wu in front of Mira and transformed into Xiao Wu's appearance.

Then Qi Yan pressed his right palm onto the ground.

"Investigate the nerves!"

Qi Yan closed his eyes and rapidly expanded his senses along the ground in all directions. This was the Arrancar's 'spiritual pressure perception,' which allowed him to sense the spiritual pressure of everyone around him, know their strength and location, and display the location of the target in his mind in the form of burning flames.

One after another, blue flames lit up in Qi Yan's mind, most of them very dim, these were ordinary people.

Some of the brighter ones were mages. The brightest flame that Qi Yan sensed was undoubtedly that of Guild Master Makarov, whose brightness far exceeded that of the others.

Soon, Qi Yan sensed a flame in the mountains west of Magnolia Town. The flame flickered, like a candle in the wind, and could be extinguished at any moment. This sensing magic matched Loki's perfectly.

Qi Yan opened his eyes: "Found it!"

"Really?! That's great!" Mira and Gray were both delighted to hear Qi Yan's words.

"Okay, you two go and tell everyone to come back. I'll bring Loki back safely."

Mira and Gray agreed.

Qi Yan lightly touched the ground with his toes and quickly moved towards the town. Now that he remembered Loki's identity, he knew he needed someone else to save Loki.

Soon, Qi Yan arrived at Lucy's rented apartment.

"Eee-ya--!!

Lucy had just finished showering and came out of the bathroom when Qi Yan immediately greeted her. Lucy was startled, and her towel fell off, revealing her perfect figure.

This made Qi Yan's blood boil, and he exclaimed in his heart: As expected of Lucy, her figure is indeed a nice body.

"ah----!!"

Lucy noticed that her towel had fallen off, and embarrassed, she quickly covered her chest with both hands and squatted down to pick up the towel to cover herself.

Qi Yan retorted, "Why aren't you wearing any clothes? Have you been corrupted by Gray?"

"Of course she's not wearing clothes after taking a shower!! And this is trespassing! Breaking into a girl's house late at night, no...no way...what are you going to do...are you going to do this to me...?"

Qi Yan immediately raised his hand and said, "Don't worry! I'm not interested in you!"

"Tch! Then what are you doing here?!"

"Loki has left the guild and may be in some trouble. He needs your help."

"what?!"

Lucy's expression changed upon hearing this: "Loki left the guild? Why?"

"I don't know. Hurry up and get dressed. I'll take you to find him."

"Then why don't you turn around!"

At this moment, at the West Mountain Waterfall, Loki stood in front of a tombstone, his gaze fixed on it. This was the grave of his master, Karen. He didn't want the guild members to see him die; it was better for them to think he had left. This was the most suitable place for him to die.

A voice rang out: "Loki!"

Loki turned around quickly upon hearing the voice, and was incredulous to see Qi Yan and Lucy: "Qi Yan?! Lucy? How did you know I was here?!"

"This is my perception magic; it's quite easy for me to sense your location within a certain range."

Upon hearing this, Loki couldn't help but exclaim, "Truly, you are something else!"

"So... is this your master's grave?"

"You...how..."

"What? You don't think you've hidden your Protoss identity very well, do you?"

Loki was completely shocked. Qi Yan actually knew his Celestial Spirit identity. But considering Qi Yan's many incredible abilities, it wasn't impossible for him to know his identity.
