Chapter 807: Chapter 807: So It’s You
Qin Sisi withdrew her gaze, nodded to the girl, and replied calmly, "Yes, that’s me. May I ask if you are looking for me for something?"
The woman in black flicked her wrist, and in her raised hand now dangled a transparent bag filled with spirit stones, which twinkled under the sunlight.
"So many high-quality spirit stones?" Xiao Meng couldn’t help but gape, thinking it was a display of extreme wealth.
What she had brought with her when she came were mainly low-grade and middle-grade spirit stones, and she had only brought ten high-quality spirit stones, which amounted to her living expenses for a semester.
The woman in black handed the bag to Qin Sisi, her voice still as cold as ice, "Here are twenty high-quality spirit stones, given to you by my young master."
Qin Sisi looked at the considerable wealth with bewilderment, unable to recall when she had become acquainted with such a generous noble young master.
However, she quickly thought of something and asked the woman in black, "Are you talking about Jiu Ge?"
The woman in black nodded expressionlessly, "Yes."
Now Qin Sisi understood. The last time Jiu Ge had been overcharged for two Blue Blood Ice Fish by Teacher Ge Lanxue, he didn’t have enough money and had borrowed ten high-quality spirit stones from Ye You. Ye You had told him to repay twenty and to give them directly to her.
Since that was the case, there was certainly no need for her to be polite.
Qin Sisi accepted the bag of high-quality spirit stones and smoothly deposited it into her storage ring. After nearly half a month of familiarization, she had become very adept at using the storage ring.
Having completed her task, the woman in black didn’t leave immediately but continued to ask, "Which room are you staying in?"
Qin Sisi paused, surprised by the question about her room again. Could it be another person wanting to take the central room?
She looked at the woman in black with complex eyes, pointed to the middle room, and replied, "I live in that one."
The woman in black pointed to the room on the right next to hers and asked, "Is this room occupied?"
Before Qin Sisi could respond, Xiao Meng promptly replied, "Yes, I’m already staying there."
Her tone was somewhat sharp. On the first day of school, she had been bullied and had ended up being punished alongside others, which had irritated her.
If another person came to take the room, she truly would not be able to bear it.
Their concerns did not materialize. After hearing Xiao Meng’s response, the woman in black shifted her gaze to the room adjacent to Qin Sisi’s on the left and asked, "Then is this room occupied?"
"No," Qin Sisi and Xiao Meng replied in unison, both relieved. It seemed this woman in black was much more reasonable than the wealthy young lady before and had no intention of taking anyone’s room.
Having confirmed the room adjacent to Qin Sisi on the left was unoccupied, the woman in black said no more and headed straight to the room.
After she turned to leave, Qin Sisi stared at her retreating figure, when a spark of realization suddenly hit her, and she called out, "Wait a minute."
The woman in black halted, her shoulders tensed, and slowly turned around to face Qin Sisi, asking, "What is it?"
Qin Sisi quickly approached her, looking into her eyes, and said word by word, "So it was you."
On the day she fell into the Ice Cave with Jiu Ge, it was a person in black who had first led Jing Jing away, then led her to Jiu Ge.
That day, Qin Sisi had chased the figure in black for a long time; if Qin Sisi sped up, she would too; if Qin Sisi slowed down, so would she.
At the time, Qin Sisi hadn’t thought much of it, but later, upon reflection, she realized the person in black was deliberately luring her into a trap.
However, having chased the figure in black for so long, Qin Sisi had a deep impression of her silhouette. After the woman in black turned around, the sense of familiarity surged, and Qin Sisi immediately thought of that person in black.
A flicker of surprise crossed the woman’s eyes, seemingly not expecting Qin Sisi to recognize her, but she quickly regained her composure, slightly curved her lips, and said, "Not bad eyesight."
Qin Sisi had already resolved her issues with Jiu Ge and naturally had no intention of being hostile toward the woman in black. She commented with curiosity rather than mockery, "If Jiu Ge is indeed your young master, how dare you stab him with a sword that day? You two put on quite a convincing act!"
The woman in black seemed unperturbed by the teasing in Qin Sisi’s tone and replied tersely, "I only follow orders."
"So your attending Heavenly Magic God’s Castle is also an order from your young master," Qin Sisi remarked incisively, causing a slight change in the woman’s demeanor.
As Jing Jing had mentioned, her eight classmates came from The Eight Great Families. Since the woman in black was sent by Jiu Ge, she must have been chosen by the Changkong family.
But judging from her tone, her status seemed quite lowly; she wasn’t a relative of the Clan Leader or anything of the sort; otherwise, why would she refer to Jiu Ge as a young master?
"How does it matter whether it’s the case or not? I have no obligation to tell you," the woman in black replied icily, entered her room, and shut the door.
Qin Sisi gazed at the firmly closed door, deep in thought for a moment, then turned to Xiao Meng and asked, "Xiao Meng, can you tell what Magic Level she is?"
Xiao Meng replied, "The Magic Light surrounding her is green, just like ours, so she should be a Magic Instructor like us. However, the green color around her is deeper than mine, so she must be a Senior Magic Instructor."
Qin Sisi nodded; it made sense. When Jiu Ge had personally chosen someone to send to Heaven Academy, the requirement was that they had to be a Senior Magic Instructor.
Being chosen by Jiu Ge meant this woman in black was no ordinary person.
After pondering for a moment, Qin Sisi suddenly understood something from Xiao Meng’s words and asked in mild surprise, "Are you saying that everyone has different colors of Magic Light swirling around their body?"
Xiao Meng nodded and explained, "Yes, the color of the Magic Source varies according to the magic level, and you should know that, right?"
"I do," Qin Sisi replied.
In the Human World, she had taken many notes under Ye You’s guidance and had long known about the relationship between the color changes in the Magic Source and the Magic Level.
The Magic Source of a First Level magic apprentice was yellow, a Level Two Magician’s was orange, a Level Three Magic Instructor’s was green, a Level Four Magic Star’s was blue, a Level Five Magic Spirit’s was red, a Sixth-level Magic God’s was brown, a Level Seven Magic Emperor’s was purple, a Level Eight Magic Lord’s was silver, and a Ninth-level Magic Saint’s was gold.
Xiao Meng continued to elucidate, "The color of the Magic Source also affects the aura around a person’s body. With careful observation, the corresponding color to one’s Magic Source can be seen.
Magic apprentices might not display it clearly because their level is too low. Now that you’ve become a Magic Instructor, you should be able to see it; I think you just haven’t paid attention to it before."
Upon hearing Xiao Meng’s detailed explanation, Qin Sisi found herself intrigued and exclaimed, "Let me try."
She stepped back a few paces and began to scrutinize Xiao Meng closely with widened eyes.
