Chapter 14, I'll Give You a Chance to Pursue Me
Seeing Zhao Yan lying on the ground, Zhan Kong looked warily at the gray-robed man inside the cave.
Only after he took off his gray robe did Zhan Kong finally stop the Heavenly Flame Funeral that was still one star short of completion.
Zhan Kong rode the wind down and arrived in front of that person.
"Senior, if I had told you you were here earlier, I wouldn't have bothered you while you were showing off." Zhan Kong said with a fawning smile.
"Zhan Kong, stop joking around with me. Chief Hua sent you here, not on vacation." The man sneered. "I didn't come here for you."
After saying that, she rode the wind rail back to the edge of the cliff and looked at Jiang Shaoxu on Lao Hei's back: "Miss, it's time to go back."
"Uncle Wei, you're following me again!" Jiang Shaoxu glared at the man.
The man coughed twice: "I'm doing this for your safety..."
"I'm not going back!" Jiang Shaoxu firmly refused.
Jiang Wei frowned, and his wind-elemental magical energy stirred slightly, but he quickly suppressed it.
"Miss, please don't be so willful. I was able to intervene in time this time, but what about next time? If your father knew that you had caused such a big mess here and almost lost your life, he would skin me alive."
Jiang Shaoxu turned her face away, her fingers unconsciously picking at Lao Hei's mane, her voice softening slightly: "I'm not here to play around."
"Miss, I know you didn't come here to play..." Uncle Wei sighed helplessly.
His gaze swept over the scattered corpses of Black Church members in the cave: "But with your current strength, you simply cannot move freely in this place teeming with demons. Your father has already made it very clear to you that once the World University Competition is over, he will naturally leave you alone."
Xiao Yu was stunned. There were still several years before the competition for the world's top universities.
Has Jiang Shaoxu already reserved one spot?
"That's still a long, long time..." Jiang Shaoxu looked at Jiang Wei, her eyes red.
Zhan Kong caught up at this moment, trying to smooth things over: "Senior Jiang Wei..."
Jiang Wei glanced at Zhan Kong, and before Zhan Kong could speak, he scolded him impatiently: "Stop trying to smooth things over. If anything happens to this girl, none of you here can afford to take responsibility."
"Yes, yes, yes..." Zhan Kong could only nod like a chicken pecking at rice.
Seeing this, Jiang Shaoxu quickly jumped off Lao Hei's back, tugged at Jiang Wei's sleeve and shook it: "Uncle Wei, look, I'm alright. Don't worry, I promise I'll behave myself and won't run around, okay?"
Looking at Jiang Shaoxu's coquettish manner, Jiang Wei sighed helplessly, but in the end he couldn't resist: "Just this once."
Jiang Shaoxu cheered and turned around to wink at Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu gave a slight twitch of his lips in response.
Zhan Kong and the members of the Tribunal stayed behind to clean up the mess, while Xiao Yu and Jiang Shaoxu returned to the Xuefeng Mountain Inn after seeing each other off.
It was already getting late when we arrived at the post station.
A familiar figure stood on the city wall, looking in Xiao Yu's direction.
It's Tang Yue.
The afterglow of dusk fell on her face, softening the coolness in her eyes.
Seeing Xiao Yu return safely, the worry in her eyes disappeared, replaced by a faint smile: "You're back?"
Xiao Yu felt a warmth in his heart and nodded: "Teacher Tang Yue, what are you doing here?"
"I'm worried about you," Tang Yue said calmly, stepping forward to pat the dust off his clothes. "Go inside, there's hot water, wash up first."
Jiang Shaoxu, following behind, raised an eyebrow upon seeing this scene, leaned close to Xiao Yu's ear, and whispered, "Your teacher seems to care about you quite a bit, wouldn't that...?"
Xiao Yu rolled his eyes at Jiang Shaoxu and followed Tang Yue away.
As night fell, a campfire was lit in the camp.
Zhan Kong and Jiang Wei also returned with the military magistrate and the members of the inquisition.
Xiao Yu and Jiang Shaoxu sat by the campfire, listening to the chirping of insects in the distance, and for a moment, they fell silent.
I never expected that my first battle would involve such a dangerous person.
If it weren't for Jiang Wei, who hadn't protected Jiang Shaoxu the whole way, intervening, he might already be a corpse by now.
"Thank you for what happened this time," Jiang Shaoxu suddenly spoke, breaking the silence. "If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would really be dead today."
"Likewise." Xiao Yu smiled. "If you hadn't interrupted Zhao Yan's spellcasting with your mental shock, we wouldn't have been able to hold out until General Zhan Kong arrived."
"Stop your mutual flattery, you two," Teacher Tang Yue poured cold water on the situation. "You wouldn't have died without Xiao Yu. Do you really think your meager mental cultivation can easily interrupt high-level magic?"
"..." x2
Tang Yue watched the leaping flames of the campfire and said softly, "The Black Vatican suffered a great loss this time and will definitely not let it go. Zhao Yan was captured, and Bai Yang is dead. Next, I'm afraid there will be even bigger moves."
"But why? The Black Vatican is guarding a cliff full of giant-eyed, bloody rats," Tang Yue said.
"Did you go down to the bottom of the cliff?" Xiao Yu asked.
Tang Yue shook her head.
"Is it possible that the Black Vatican somehow managed to get the Giant-Eyed Blood Rat to obey their orders and dig a highway underground that leads directly to Bo City?" Xiao Yu said.
Upon hearing this, Tang Yue's pupils dilated in shock.
It's not entirely impossible!
The giant-eyed rats are skilled at digging tunnels, so there must be a reason for such a large-scale gathering of giant-eyed rats.
If what Xiao Yu said is true, then the moment the tunnel is completed will be the moment of disaster for Bo City.
At that time, the entire city of Bo will be littered with corpses...
"I have something to attend to, so I'll be leaving now," Tang Yue said before hurriedly departing.
Xiao Yu shook his head. He should have told Zhan Kong earlier when they were over there.
Now, it's estimated that the Black Vatican has quietly filled in that hole.
Looking around and making sure no one was paying attention to them, Jiang Shaoxu put her mouth close to Xiao Yu's ear and whispered, "Xiao Yu, I think you're a pretty good person. I can give you a chance to pursue me."
"???"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu sprang away like a spring compressed to its limit.
"What, do you look down on me? Many men from great families have pursued me, but I haven't accepted any of them." Jiang Shaoxu raised her eyebrows.
Xiao Yu swallowed hard: "We're still young."
"..." Jiang Shaoxu was powerless to refute.
After a long silence, Jiang Shaoxu spoke again: "Then would you consider coming with me? I can have my dad provide you with the best resources. You have such great talent, don't waste it."
"Then forget it. I want to get into a magic university through my own efforts," Xiao Yu said.
"You still need to work hard? At the beginner level, you already have both Summoning and Chaos elements. Which organization wouldn't be fighting over you? Born with two elements, everyone's so envious!" Jiang Shaoxu was speechless. Was this man a real idiot or a complete moronic pig?
Let's not even talk about how you have two ridiculously high magical talents at the beginner level. Just the fact that you have the strength to summon two beasts at the beginner level makes us wonder if they'll accept you!
Not to mention the fighting prowess of your little white dog and old black dog.
When a major war is about to break out, everyone has to think twice.
This is the full power of a magic freshman who has only been awakened for a year. Who would believe that?
Xiao Yu's lips twitched. Sure enough, he hadn't kept Jiang the fox's secret about the Chaos System.
