"What…what happened just now?”
Wan Qiuwen held her forehead with one hand and propped herself up with the other. Her voice was a little weak.
Just now, she only felt her vision turn white in an instant, and then she could not see anything. It was accompanied by a strong sense of dizziness, and then she seemed to have bumped into something and lost consciousness.
Although he had regained some consciousness, his head was still a little dizzy.
"It's fine. It's just that the car hit the wall. It's a small problem.”
The one who responded to her was Lin Xiaochai, who was sitting in the front passenger seat.
At this moment, she was holding a cigarette in her left hand and her phone in her right hand. It seemed that she had just made a phone call.
Through the rearview mirror in the car, he could see her subtle expression.
Wan Qiuwen heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that her mentor was fine.
Then, he thought of something and quickly looked to the right. At the same time, he asked,"Where's Su Qian?"
"I'm here."
Su Qian's voice sounded.
At this moment, his hands were filled with fragments of the crystal ball.
Fortunately, he was not injured.
However, there was a hint of melancholy on his face.
He looked at Lin Xiaochai through the rearview mirror with a guilty conscience, but he didn't expect Lin Xiaochai to also look at him through the rearview mirror.
Their gazes met.
The atmosphere gradually became strange.
"Su Qian." Lin Xiaochai broke the silence.
"Yes, I'm here." Su Qian looked away.
"What did you do to the crystal ball?”
"I just injected my spiritual power according to what you said.”
"Is that so?"
Lin Xiaochai raised her eyebrows when she said this. It was hard to tell whether she was amazed or doubtful.
Most importantly, her expression was so subtle that it seemed to have a deeper meaning.
"What else can I do?" Su Qian asked," This is also my first time coming into contact with that thing. Maybe there's a problem with its quality. Didn't you say before that it's not very stable?”
"Yes…indeed."
Lin Xiaochai nodded in agreement and then added,""But I've never seen anyone who could make the crystal ball emit such a bright light, nor have I seen anyone who could use spiritual power to break the crystal ball.”
"Maybe the crystal ball you gave me just happened to be faulty.”Su Qian lied without blushing or jumping." It was broken when the car hit the wall just now. It has nothing to do with my mental strength.”
"Is that so?"
Lin Xiaochai narrowed her eyes and asked again.
There was a hint of aggressiveness in his tone.
"Yes."
Su Qian answered decisively.
Lin Xiaochai fell silent.
Wan Qiuwen was at a loss.
Until a car horn sounded from behind.
"Forget it, it doesn't matter if you don't admit it.”
Lin Xiaochai flicked the cigarette ash, opened the door, and got out of the car.
"The driver fainted just now. I called another car to go to the airport. Hurry up and get out.”
Lin Xiaochai patted the roof of the car, and then walked quickly to the car behind her in her high heels.
When she sat in the passenger seat of the new car, she could not help but mutter,"This kid's talent is really f * cking…tsk, is he really human?”
"What? What did you say?"
The driver of the new car thought that he was talking to him and quickly asked.
"It's none of your business. Drive." Lin Xiaochai didn't even bother to lift her eyelids.
"Ah, alright!"
The driver smiled awkwardly.
After Su Qian and Wan Qiuwen dragged their luggage into the backseat of the new car, he slowly stepped on the accelerator.
……
At the airport.
The three of them checked in their luggage and waited in the departure lounge for nearly an hour before finally boarding the plane to Yue City.
"This seat is really uncomfortable."
Lin Xiaochai sighed.
Due to the rush, she could only choose this flight that did not have business class.
Now, she regretted it.
"Teacher, bear with it. We'll be there in two hours.”
Wan Qiuwen, who was sitting at the side, comforted him and thoughtfully gave him a neck pillow.
Lin Xiaochai sighed again. She was too lazy to answer and turned her head to look out of the window.
Wan Qiuwen seemed to be used to it and silently took out some snacks from her bag. She handed them to Su Gan, who was sitting in the same row."Um, Su Qian, do you want to eat something?”
"Thank you."
Su Qian took the snacks but didn't open them.
He hesitated for two seconds and finally could not help but ask,"Aren't you a security officer?"
"Ah?"
Wan Qiuwen was stunned for a moment before she explained,""I'm not. I'm also a student of the Vermilion Bird Academy. I'm one year older than you. It's just that I accepted a mission when I passed by Min City. In order to make it easier for me to do things, the security department of Min City arranged for me to be an intern security officer.”
"I see." Su Gan nodded.
"That mission is actually related to the white ostrich you met yesterday.”Wan Qiuwen continued.
"What is it?" Su Qian asked casually. He didn't really want to hear it.
"A Tier Three long-legged monster ape abandoned by a beastmaster is causing trouble in the forest outside Min City. It even occasionally appears in the suburbs and hurts innocent pedestrians. The white ostrich you encountered was one of the victims. It was forced to swallow a fruit that could cause confusion in its consciousness before it entered the city.”
"An abandoned spirit beast?"
Su Gan suddenly became interested.
"Yes, actually, beastmasters can terminate the contract with the spirit beast on their own. However, doing so would easily hurt the spirit beast's heart. Although most spirit beasts possessed intelligence, their hearts were as pure as children. You can imagine what kind of mentality a child abandoned by their parents would have.”
"I understand."
Su Gan nodded slightly.
Of course, he was not talking about himself, but some of the children in the welfare institute.
"If one day you encounter an abandoned spirit beast, then I suggest that you stay far away.”Wan Qiuwen reminded him seriously," Most of them are hostile to humans. There were many seniors who didn't believe it and ended up losing their lives.”
"Yes, I'll remember it." Su Gan nodded.
"And…"
Wan Qiuwen wanted to say something more, but Lin Xiaochai, who was leaning against the window, suddenly interrupted impatiently,""Can the two of you please talk after we get off the plane? Let me sleep for a while!"
Wan Qiuwen shrank her neck and did not dare to say anything else.
Su Qian shrugged helplessly.
………
……
When the three of them arrived at Yue City, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.
They took another hour by car before they finally arrived at the Vermillion Bird Academy.
The first thing Su Qian saw after getting out of the car was a huge bird sculpture.
It spread its wings and looked like a phoenix. Every feather carved on its body was lifelike.
It was as if it could flap its wings and fly into the sky at any time!
On the right side of the statue was the Vermilion Bird Academy's main gate.
When Su Qian's gaze shifted over, he was stunned.
He had never seen such an exaggeratedly huge and magnificent school gate.
Compared to them, humans were like ants.
Even the golden words on the plaque were two to three times bigger than an adult!
"Are you shocked?"
Lin Xiaochai stood beside Su Qian, the corners of her lips curling up slightly, as if she had expected Su Qian's reaction.
"Indeed." Su Gan nodded.
"Don't be nervous. The school gate was built like this just to remind you students not to think that you're great just because you're slightly more talented than ordinary people. In fact, you're still very small!”
Lin Xiaochai paused and added,"Of course, this reminder may not be applicable to people whose talent has exceeded the scope of normal logic.”
