Of course, it's because she's a beautiful and adorable little elf!
just kidding.
The main reason is that although he doesn't want to return to the church, if he can cultivate a saintess, he can still extend his influence to the church, just like Owen did. This is a good opportunity to prepare his own power.
The most important point is that I hope to use this to keep this uncertain factor under my control.
Although elves can stay young, Ya Feng guessed that Hikaria's age was no more than twenty years old. To reach the Apostle level at that age, especially with her personal abilities, was truly terrifying.
Ya Feng couldn't understand what her so-called ability was. It couldn't be a system, could it?
If she agrees to learn from me, then I can keep her in check as a senior or teacher. Even if she doesn't agree, I still need to leave something behind to ensure things don't spiral out of my control.
As Ya Feng was thinking this, the door opened, and a black-haired girl stood in the doorway, still covering her eyes and looking completely unremarkable.
Ya Feng saw her and smiled slightly.
"So, you agree?"
“But before that, I’d like to ask, what is the price?” Hikaria asked.
"There's no price to pay. You just need to do me a favor after you become a saintess. Don't worry, it's a very simple thing, and it won't affect you in any way," Ya Feng said.
Hikaria remained silent. Before coming, she had asked Ilsa about Afong in detail and knew that although the man was a bit strange in some ways, he was not a bad person.
However, she was a little scared before she came, because Ya Feng's condition was that he wanted her body or something...
Hikaria took a deep breath, removed her glasses to reveal a pair of bright purple eyes, then knelt down and called out to him:
"teacher."
Chapter 53 What is your relationship with my dad?
"Hey, hey, don't bother with such a big gesture, it's not customary these days," Ya Feng said, waving his hand, but his face was full of smiles.
"Then, from today onwards, you will officially be my first student."
Hikaria then stood up.
"Now that you've become my student, I should give you a little something in return,"
Ya Feng took out a bracelet, which was woven from circles of golden, four-sided gold wire, and faintly emitted a soft light.
“This is…” Hikaria took it, her eyes widening slightly.
"Light-Controlling Bracelet?"
"Oh? It seems you know him." Ya Feng nodded.
The Light-Controlling Bracelet is a magical artifact bestowed by the Church of Life's Radiance upon legendary-level or higher Holy Inquisitors. Wearing it greatly enhances control over Holy attributes, instantly elevating the Holy attribute spells one rank higher and allowing the wearer to conjure their own unique Holy Weapon.
Another point is that you can perform fast, high-magic spellcasting without a wand.
In the past two years, Ya Feng has been collecting some important resources. When he was very wealthy, he spent some of his money on buying magical artifacts. Of course, he also took advantage of information gaps to find bargains. For example, this Light-Controlling Bracelet was a relic of a paladin who left the church, which he found in advance.
Ya Feng is now a Saint Arbiter of the highest rank. After advancing to the Hero level, the improvement this magic weapon can provide to him will be very limited.
But for an Apostle-level Holy Arbiter like Hikaria, there is no more suitable magical artifact than the Light-Controlling Bracelet.
Ya Feng gave her a big gift right from the start, and Hikaria felt a surge of warmth in her heart.
"Thank you, teacher!"
She calls him "teacher" much more sincerely now.
"You're welcome. As a teacher, I naturally want to see my students make progress," Ya Feng said.
"Then, go home and prepare tonight, and tell your family that you'll come to my house to study with me every Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday evening. Is that alright?"
Hikaria nodded: "No problem."
She gripped the Light-Controlling Bracelet tightly, her heart surging with excitement. In any case, she had now inherited the mantle of a great mage, which was much better than being like a headless fly.
With his guidance, I'm sure I can get one step closer to becoming a saint.
That way, I'll have more strength to achieve my goals and protect my mother...
Hikaria took a deep breath, feeling as if the clouds had parted and the sun was shining brightly ahead.
"Oh, by the way, do you have a swimsuit?" Ya Feng suddenly asked.
Hikaria couldn't understand this question.
“There is one…” she said.
"Then remember to bring your swimsuit every time you come to my house," Ya Feng said.
Hikaria's expression froze on her face.
"Eh?"
...
Wednesday.
"Well, Linda, see you tomorrow~" Betty waved to Ilsa and got into her luxury car.
"Okay, goodbye."
After saying goodbye to Betty, Ilsa also planned to go home first.
But before that, she had to go buy groceries.
Now that Zeshita is at home, the food expenses have increased considerably. Ya Feng has given her the bank card he uses to receive subsidies, and she is now in charge of the household expenses.
A thousand gold dollars a month is not a small amount, but she still tries to save as much as possible.
Today, Ya Feng said she had something to do and told her to go home first.
Ilsa walked out of the school gate, just as several senior students were taking off in magical vehicles.
"I'll buy one after my birthday..." she thought to herself, looking at a senior student riding a flying broomstick.
The Kingdom's traffic laws currently stipulate that the minimum age for obtaining a license for a flying magical vehicle carrying no more than two people is fifteen. Based on the age on her current ID card, she will have to wait several months.
These vehicles come in a variety of styles, such as the classic flying broomsticks, and the more recently popular doll-style vehicles.
However, they are all quite expensive, and like horseback riding, it takes a long time to learn. Riding them is also dusty and tiring, so probably only some young people would like them. Wealthy people would still choose more comfortable carriages and cars.
With these thoughts in mind, Ilsa walked towards the school gate, first taking a bus to the market, then buying groceries before taking another bus out of town, and finally walking home.
But as soon as she stepped out of the school gate, she noticed something, turned around, and saw Hikaria following behind her.
“Um… Hikaria, may I ask…” Ilsa asked tentatively.
"I..." Hikaria opened her mouth, but although she had already made arrangements with Ya Feng, she still didn't know how to start the conversation with his daughter, her deskmate.
My deskmate, who used to ignore me, suddenly wants to go to my house?
“Yes, that’s right. I have something I want to discuss with Teacher Ya Feng. It’s about the club, and it’s very important,” Hikaria said.
Ilsa was taken aback. "Um, aren't I the vice president of the club? Why don't I know about club matters?"
Hikaria seemed unsure how to explain it.
“Well, okay then,” Ilsa didn’t dwell on it too much. “So, what is it? I’ll tell Dad when I get back.”
“No, I need to talk to him in person.” Hikaria stepped forward and approached Ilsa.
"So, I might need to come to your place tonight."
"Eh?"
Ilsa was stunned.
She felt something was off when Hikaria suddenly started talking to her about Ya Feng the day before yesterday. And today she suddenly said she wanted to go to her house to talk to Ya Feng.
She absolutely did not believe it was a problem with any kind of organization.
Could it be that...?
That guy Ya Feng, without even realizing it, did something that offended that young girl! Now she's come knocking on our door demanding an explanation?!
Seeing the astonished look on Ilsa's face, he realized that she must have misunderstood.
“Uh…no, that…Linda, no, it’s not what you think. Ya Feng and I are now…uh…well, anyway, your father will probably tell you himself later,”
Hikaria hadn't expected this to be so complicated, so in the end she decided to pass the buck to Ya Feng, letting him explain his daughter's situation himself.
"Uh, so, you, you have to come home with me tonight?" Ilsa asked.
Hikaria nodded: "I've already told my family that I'll be back a little later."
“Well, okay, but I need to go buy the ingredients for dinner first,” Ilsa said.
“It’s alright, I’ll go with you,” Hikaria said.
And so, Ilsa remained in a daze, letting Hikaria follow behind her as they went to the market to buy ingredients for dinner, and then walked home together.
All the way there, she couldn't figure out why her usually indifferent deskmate had suddenly become so warm towards her, and the reason was that she had an unknown relationship with her father.
What kind of nonsense is this?!
Hikaria, of course, had no idea what Ilsa was thinking. She was still looking forward to what Afeng's Holy Light Magic learning session would be like tonight.
Chapter 54 Today's Guests
[Communication in progress]
"Ya Feng!"
"what?"
"Why are you asking me?! You're the one who invited Hikaria to our house! What's the matter?!"
"Oh, this? Don't worry, I'll explain it to you when we get back. Just treat them well."
"You, sigh... never mind, just come back quickly."
"Okay, Mom, then I want to drink mutton soup tonight."
"Fool!"
Ilsa hung up the Netcom app, sighed, and left the mall's restroom, heading towards Hikaria who was waiting there.
"Alright, let's go, Hikaria."
"Ah."
The two girls took a bus to the outer city and then walked towards the outskirts of the city.
Hikaria looked around at the quiet path; the two of them had left the city and reached a path in the suburbs.
Ya Feng's family, did they live in such a remote place?
"Hikkaria, is it heavy for you to carry?" Ilsa asked as they walked.
“It’s nothing, it’s no trouble at all,” Hikaria said.
Because Hikaria was coming, Ilsa bought even more groceries than usual, two whole bags, and Hikaria carried one portion for her.
"By the way, Ilsa, do you do all the cooking at home?" Hikaria asked.
“Yeah…sometimes when I’m busy with my studies, Ya Feng will help me cook, but he cooks whatever he wants, as long as it’s edible…Hikkaria, what about your family?” Ilsa said.
“My mom made it. She cooks very well.” Hikaria’s tone carried a hint of pride.
"Your mom is such a great cook...you must be very happy, right? Hikaria, do you live with your parents?" she asked again.
“No, it’s just me and my mother at home. She’s an elf too,” Hikaria said.
“Then, then your father…” Ilsa asked tentatively.
“My biological parents abandoned me after I was born. My mother found me and raised me, so I only have my mother,” Hikaria said.
"Oh... I see..." Ilsa said, surprised that her classmate had this experience.
“I’m so lucky to have met my mom. With her by my side, even though our family isn’t complete, I’m still very happy,” Hikaria said with a smile.
Ilsa could also sense the genuine emotion in her classmate's tone.
“You and your mother have such a good relationship…” Ilsa said.
Unlike her own husband, who causes her distress every few days.
