Chapter 818: Chapter 818: None of Your Business
"Do you have a better idea?" Qin Sisi asked. If Li Li’s method was better, she naturally wouldn’t mind, since Wen Xuan’s safety was the most important.
Li Li didn’t speak, but lifted her arm and pushed her palm forward, releasing a pale blue light that started to spin.
Under the guidance of the Magic Light, a tornado gradually formed; its speed was neither fast nor slow.
Qin Sisi suddenly realized that the intrinsic attribute of the Changkong family was the Wind Attribute, which allowed Li Li to harness the power of the wind.
Seeing that the tornado was about the right size, Li Li turned to Wen Xuan, "Have you decided? Who will take you?"
Wen Xuan looked conflicted as he glanced at Li Li and then at Qin Sisi. To be fair, it seemed that Li Li’s method was more reliable for carrying someone, but would outright rejecting Qin Sisi be a blow to her pride?
Qin Sisi saw Wen Xuan’s hesitation and took the initiative, "Brother Wen Xuan, let Miss Li Li take you."
Of course, she could also see that Li Li’s method was better, as Li Li relied on her own power, while he was utilizing external items.
Wen Xuan nodded and turned to Li Li, "Thank you, Miss Li Li."
"Let’s get going!"
Li Li seemed unsatisfied with Wen Xuan’s dawdling. She grabbed his arm, took a leap with him, and they dove into the tornado.
The outer parts of the tornado were swirling winds, but the center was actually quite calm.
Li Li and Wen Xuan stood in the calm center, letting the rotating winds on the outskirts carry them toward Tianshui Mountain in the middle of the lake.
Seeing Li Li and him begin their journey, Qin Sisi immediately summoned the Wings of Rainbow, flapping the colorful wings as she flew toward Tianshui Mountain.
Xiao Meng and Yun Cheng, who had led the way, had already reached the banks of the lake at Tianshui Mountain. Xiao Meng hopped off a lotus leaf, and Yun Cheng emerged from underground without a single speck of dirt on him.
The two exchanged smiles and looked back toward the lake where they had come from.
At this moment, Qing Pu also arrived, walking on the water, her clothes and boots untouched by droplets.
Not far away, Ya Ling along with An Yun and Chu Ming casually strolled on the white ice bridge. Ya Ling was still reveling in the excitement of Qin Sisi’s incapability to cross the lake, her face beaming with an extra bright smile.
With the end in sight, the trio on the ice bridge each had a relieved expression.
Suddenly, a tornado whirled past not too far in the sky, stirring up a fierce wind in the surrounding area.
"What rotten weather!" Ya Ling couldn’t help cursing, hurriedly fixing her hair and skirt that the north wind had disheveled.
Then, Ya Ling felt the light before her eyes suddenly dim only to brighten up again moments later—only then did she realize something had flown over her head.
Confused, she looked up and saw Qin Sisi landing smoothly on the shore of Tianshui Mountain. The tumultuous tornado that had caused the strong winds had also calmed down, revealing two figures—it was Li Li and Wen Xuan.
Ya Ling stared at the pair of resplendent, colorful wings behind Qin Sisi, dumbfounded, and took a long time to snap back to reality.
By the time she finally confirmed what she had seen, she could no longer bear the anger and dissatisfaction in her heart, and without paying any attention to the two boys behind her, she hurriedly rushed toward the shore.
An Yun and Chu Ming exchanged puzzled looks, unable to understand why Ya Ling had suddenly become so agitated. Being peripheral members of their families, they lacked a thorough understanding of many matters and had failed to recognize that the pair of wings on Qin Sisi’s back was actually one of the Top Ten Great Divine Artifacts, the Wings of Rainbow.
However, Ya Ling moved too quickly for them to follow promptly, making them feel as if they were merely followers in her wake. Thus, the two continued to walk forward at a leisurely pace.
Once Ya Ling stepped off the ice bridge, the sturdy structure immediately began to melt. An Yun and Chu Ming, realizing this, hurriedly quickened their pace.
A few meters from the shore, the ice bridge completely dissolved. The two invoked their magic powers to leap forward and managed to land on the shore, barely avoiding disaster, but their boots were already soaked through.
An Yun and Chu Ming looked helplessly at their drenched boots and had no choice but to dry them with fire magic. Although they said nothing on the surface, deep down, they felt quite resentful towards Ya Ling.
Ya Ling charged directly up to Qin Sisi, glared at her, and roared, "How do you have the Wings of Rainbow? What gives you the right to possess them!"
Qin Sisi’s eyebrows knitted together at Ya Ling’s attitude, which she found extremely repulsive. She retorted curtly, "None of your business."
After speaking, Qin Sisi turned and walked away.
Enraged, Ya Ling reached out to grab Qin Sisi’s arm, only to hear a sharp "snap" as Xiao Meng’s hand came down hard on Ya Ling’s hand.
"What’s the matter? Didn’t get enough last time and want another go?" Xiao Meng lifted her chin arrogantly, staring down Ya Ling.
"Out of my way!" Ya Ling, clutching her reddened hand, barked fiercely.
Xiao Meng mockingly responded, "I won’t move aside. So what if my study tasks double? I don’t care, but I’m afraid if you cut off too many iron mane boar legs, they might come asking for them back when you’re asleep at night!"
"You..." Ya Ling was almost at her breaking point. Chopping off the legs of an iron mane boar was a basic mistake and one that she was very sensitive about; Xiao Meng was clearly hitting her where it hurt.
Just as the conflict was about to erupt, a cold voice suddenly rang out, "Stop!"
The expressions of everyone present changed, and they hurriedly looked up to see a woman in green gracefully descending from the sky, her dress fluttering and her long hair flowing like a waterfall. A translucent, aqua-colored scarf adorned her head, held in place by a fine hairpin. She exuded an ethereal and elegant beauty—it was Yin Xi, the teacher of Water Attribute Magic.
Though she appeared to be only around thirty, everyone knew she must be much older.
With increased ranks came extended lifespans and younger-looking appearances.
"Those who want to attend class, get to the classroom immediately; those who don’t, leave at once. If anyone dares to fight on my Tianshui Mountain, never expect to set foot here again," Yin Xi’s lips parted slightly, and although she spoke slowly, her words sent shivers down everyone’s spine.
Ya Ling bit her lip hard, forcing herself to calm down, and took a step back.
Xiao Meng also moderated her expression and stood silently beside Qin Sisi, bowing her head slightly.
The rest of the group held their breath and stood in respectful silence, not wanting to provoke the teacher and risk being expelled from Tianshui Mountain.
Seeing that the new students had quieted down, Yin Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief and pointed to a large hall behind her, saying, "That is the Magic classroom."
The nine students quickly made their way to the classroom, and in the blink of an eye, only Yin Xi was left by the lakeside.
She watched the students’ hasty departure, first with a meaningful smile, then letting out a helpless sigh.
