707: Chapter 55 Persuasion and Counter-Persuasion_1 707: Chapter 55 Persuasion and Counter-Persuasion_1 Zheng Qing scratched the back of his head, looking a bit puzzled.
Had he guessed wrong?
The little white cat he’d encountered on Friday night – was it really just a relative of the one that was murdered, and not Jiang Yu’s transformation?
Due to one reason or another, Zheng Qing had always believed that the small white cat he saved on Friday night by the Lakeside of Bell Lake was a transford Jiang Yu.
So, he had already started speaking, prepared to tease the witch about her weak appearance once transford.
It was also a prelude to dissuading the witch from her dangerous plan.
However, Jiang Yu’s response caught him off guard.
Many words he had prepared in his head fell on deaf ears, leaving him tongue-tied.
After a mont’s hesitation, he decided to bring up the little white cat he saw that night, to remind her of the plan’s risks.
But upon reflection, if he were to discuss the kitten, he would have to bring up his own transformation, perhaps even ntion the three patrollers, how the black cat deterred the patrollers and then he would need to explain why he transford, maybe even involve Old Yao’s speculation, and so on.
With these thoughts, the young cost student gave up on the idea imdiately.
Of course, that didn’t an he gave up dissuading the witch.
“…
It’s best that you haven’t started practicing yet.” Plausibly, the young cost student seed to breathe a sigh of relief, his tone becoming a bit more serious: “Shapeshifting is a profound magic after all.
Even though you have the transformation potion on your side, it can still go wrong without a teacher’s guidance.”
Jiang Yu looked at him with a smile, nodding her head, but didn’t say a word.
Zheng Qing went silent, a tad embarrassed.
He suddenly realized that the witch he was facing was from Zhongshan Jiang, a famous wizard family, let alone her inherited knowledge and childhood exposure to various magical taboos.
Simply hiring a few private tutors or auditing a few specialized courses wouldn’t be a problem for her.
All his words of advice seed trivial in comparison.
After a pause, he returned to the subject of the notebook, “Did you bring that notebook today?”
Jiang Yu raised her eyebrows slightly, nodding her head with a clear voice, “I did.”
“Oh.” Zheng Qing said awkwardly, “If it’s possible, I’d like to take this notebook back to review…
previously, the professor said that there may be so omissions in this notebook that he needs to inspect.”
The most awkward thing in the world is to present a gift to a girl only to realize that it has a flaw and having to awkwardly ask for it back – if feasible, Zheng Qing would rather make another notebook from scratch than stand here asking Jiang Yu for this one.
Given the peculiarities of his previous transformation, according to Old Yao, he needed to review his understanding of shapeshifting from beginning to end, making the notebook very necessary.
“Oh.” Jiang Yu responded, showing no discontent.
She imdiately pulled out the notebook from her bag and handed it to Zheng Qing, and at the sa ti asked in concern: “Is there a problem with the notes?
Did sothing happen after your transformation…
We have a private tutor at ho who is living in the mansion in Beta Town, and she has so research on shapeshifting.
If you have any problem, I can take you to consult her.”
As expected, she had her own private tutor, Zheng Qing thought dejectedly.
“No, no, there’s no big problem.” The young cost student waved his hand frantically, adding: “There are just so procedures that are unclear, and Professor Yao suggested I review them again…”
Jiang Yu suddenly understood, “Was that what you were discussing with Old Yao on the podium before the eting?
But from what I saw in your notes, there don’t seem to be any major issues.”
Zheng Qing twitched the corner of his mouth, giving an awkward laugh.
He couldn’t very well say that he didn’t know whether there were any problems with the shapeshifting notes he had recorded.
The young cost student patted his head in a seemingly dazed manner, pushing the bla onto Old Yao.
“Old Yao asked to check it again while we were on the podium…
it won’t take long, and I’ll bring it to you after I’ve checked.”
“Now that you have taken the thing, get out of the way!
We still have howork to write!” Li ng finally found an opening, barking at Zheng Qing angrily, pushing the young wizard and kicking him too.
Tiny shoes kicked up a bit of dust on Zheng Qing’s calf.
Zheng Qing cast a sideways glance at the little witch, and finally decided not to fuss with her – after all, she’d just been cleaned up by Jiang Yu for a while; a bit of temper was understandable.
Jiang Yu sighed deeply, chuckling helplessly at Zheng Qing.
Zheng Qing saw the tired look on her face and was originally planning to transform into the small white cat to confirm with her if the deceased kitten had a relative.
He was, however, worried about upsetting her, so he hesitated for a mont and eventually decided against it.
“If you are determined to carry out that plan, you must let know.” The wizard repeated ‘must,’ sternly warning: “Even though it’s on the school campus, it’s really dangerous to be out at night…
It just so happens that the Absolution Hunting team has a night training plan, if you really plan to do it, you must let us know.
It’s a win-win in all cases.”
On the side, Li ng seed to approve of Zheng Qing’s rhetoric, shaking Jiang Yu’s arm, nodding her head repeatedly.
Jiang Yu slightly smiled, still just nodding her head, not giving a definite answer.
In fact, she had already decided in her heart not to bother Zheng Qing with this matter anymore.
She felt her reason was valid – if she transford and the hunting team was always lurking around her, perhaps the killer of the kitten would never appear in front of her – but deep down, she had a faint feeling that this was not her only reason.
The witch pursed her lips, unconsciously glancing at the Gypsy witch sitting in the corner of the classroom, whispering: “If needed, I will definitely bother you guys…
But I think you should pay more attention to what’s going on behind you.”
“Behind ?” Zheng Qing looked confused.
Jiang Yu smiled mischievously, giving a aningful look behind Zheng Qing: “I noticed Matthew is with Elena again…
maybe you should spend more ti with Elena.”
Zheng Qing’s expression instantly grew more awkward.
Turning his head, he saw Elena handing Matthew a thick reference book.
Seemingly sensing the wizard’s gaze, the Gypsy witch looked up and waved at him, showing a brilliant smile.
Any resentnt the boy had suddenly evaporated.
