Chapter 3: The Disciple of the Most Powerful Magician in the World

"Cai'er, wait a minute."

Sheng Lingxin passed by Xingyuan and said to Cai'er, "After dinner, you and Dad will go to our Assassin's Temple headquarters."

"……Oh."

Although Cai'er is not close to her father, she does not dislike him either.

"What about A Yuan?"

Rather than asking what they were going to do at the Temple headquarters, Cai'er was more concerned about whether there was anyone going with her, "Is he going with us?"

A Yuan?

This was the first time that Sheng Lingxin heard his daughter call Xing Yuan this way. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly. The last time, they were calling each other by their first names in front of him. When did it become like this?

"dad?"

Seeing that Sheng Lingxin did not answer, Cai'er asked again with some confusion.

"Ahem, ahem, Xiao Yuan's words are of course not allowed."

Sheng Lingxin came back to his senses and coughed twice, explaining: "Although he stayed at our house, he is not a member of our Assassin's Temple."

"If I remember correctly, he was a student in the pastoral class at the college..."

"It's the magic class." Cai'er corrected in a low voice.

"...In fact, it's not just our Assassin's Temple headquarters that doesn't allow people from other temples to enter unless there are special circumstances. Other temples are the same."

Sheng Lingxin was extremely patient with Cai'er. "Besides, we can go there quickly and come back soon."

"OK then."

Although she still didn't want to go, Cai'er still agreed.

After Cai'er's mother came back and the family finished dinner together, Sheng Lingxin said hello and without telling Lan Yanyu where he was going, he took Cai'er out the door.

Here we finally officially enter the plot line.

Listening to Lan Yanyu's voice complaining that her husband never told her anything, Xingyuan stood at the door and watched Cai'er being taken away by Sheng Lingxin.

He knew that Cai'er would never return to this home again.

So does he.

"Auntie Lan, I'm going to bed."

"So early?"

Lan Yanyu was a little surprised, "Aren't you going to wait for Cai'er to come back?"

"Well, there are a lot of things going on at the academy tomorrow."

-

However, Cai'er had not returned until the next morning.

After comforting the worried Lan Yanyu, he also set off for the college.

After packing up his belongings in the academy, he went to submit his graduation assessment application to the dean. Then that afternoon, Xingyuan left the academy with a certificate of outstanding graduate of the academy's magic class and a substantial scholarship.

The total duration was two hundred and seven days, setting a new record for the fastest graduation speed among the professional candidates in the six major temples.

Carrying a luggage bag in one hand and playing with a light blue magic crystal card worth five thousand gold coins in the other, Xingyuan walked into the gate of the magic branch hall.

This was not the first time Xingyuan came here, so he found Lan Yanyu's office with ease, walked up and was about to raise his hand to knock on the door.

However, someone reached out and knocked on the door before him. It was a tall and outstanding-looking female magician wearing a green wizard robe.

"Little brother, are you looking for Palace Master Lan too?"

The other party noticed Xingyuan next to him, lowered his head and asked curiously.

"Yeah." Xingyuan nodded, but he had never seen her here before, so he couldn't help but look at her twice more, "I'm here to ask Aunt Lan to help me find a mentor."

With this appearance, he doesn’t look like an ordinary person, and his magic level should be quite strong.

Such a thought suddenly appeared in Xingyuan's mind, but he was not sure of the other party's identity at the moment.

"Eh?"

After hearing this, the female magician was surprised and her smile became even wider.

"We are so destined to be together, little brother. I am planning to borrow a few apprentices from Palace Master Lan. How about I guide you?"

As he inherited the excellent genes from his original mother, Xingyuan was born with a handsome face that was popular with women since he was a child, especially his orange-gold hair which was born with an aristocratic air, making him very attractive to women.

So when Tan Wan saw Xingyuan for the first time, he felt that this was what his ideal apprentice should be like, and he completely threw out the idea of ​​finding a thoughtful girl to be his apprentice.

"Why don't you come in?"

Seeing that no one came in after knocking on the door for a long time, Lan Yanyu, who was sitting in the office chair, asked again in some confusion.

The door opened quickly, but Lan Yanyu was stunned. "Xiao Yuan, Tan Wan?"

What combination is this?
Oh my god, I don't want to be an apprentice to this crazy girl...

Wait, you said her name is Tan Wan?
Is he the most powerful magician in the world today, the current master of the Magic Temple, and Li Zhengzhi’s direct disciple, Tan Wan?

Cough cough--

"Aunt Lan, this is the graduation certificate the college issued to me."

Xingyuan walked forward and placed all the miscellaneous materials on Lan Yanyu's desk. "I want to join our Magic Temple. Here is the application form."

Lan Yanyu signaled Tan Wan to wait a moment, then took the materials handed over by Xingyuan. After carefully confirming that there were no problems, he couldn't help but feel deeply moved.

"Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, you have graduated from the academy and will soon become a formal magician. It feels like it was just this year that your aunt sent you to school..."

etc--

Lan Yanyu realized something was wrong and looked at the enrollment and graduation dates on the certificate...

"Xiao Yuan/This kid has graduated from the preparatory magician class in just one year?"

Lan Yanyu, who had come to her senses, and Tan Wan, who was standing beside her with a look of disbelief, asked in unison.

Actually, to be exact, it is 207 days.

……

"Xiao Yuan, are you saying that you want your aunt to find you a mentor in our branch hall?"

After calming down, Lan Yanyu pretended to be calm and drank a sip of water. "But I feel that with your talent, let alone the magicians in the branch hall, even I, your aunt, can't guarantee that I have the confidence to teach you well."

"It's ok."

Xingyuan shook his head, stretched out his hand to grab the hem of Tan Wan's clothes, who was about to turn away, and said innocently: "Just now this sister Tan Wan said she can guide me, so let her be my mentor."

Tan Wan...

Before Lan Yanyu could think about whether the two of them were suitable, Tan Wan, who had just been very confident and wanted to come to her to ask for a few apprentices to guide him and pass the time, wilted first.

"Sister Yanyu, how can I have this ability?"

Tan Wan said with a bitter face: "This child is so talented. If I were to teach him, I would be misleading. You should send him to the Temple headquarters for training so as not to bury his talent."

"But Xiaoyuan is still too young now."

Lan Yanyu shook her head slightly, "I don't feel comfortable letting him go to the headquarters alone."

"Sister, look."

Xingyuan seized this opportunity, pulled Tan Wan's sleeve, and said pitifully: "If even you are not willing to teach me magic, then no one will want me."
