The captain didn’t want to reveal anything more to her for the ti being.
After all, no one understands better than him how vengeful and protective the Cyan Cloud Sect can be.
Even if it’s just outer disciples or even peripheral personnel, if the Witch Association dares to make a move, what follows is endless retaliation.
The third branch of the Beihai City Witch Association was wiped out because they captured peripheral personnel from the Cyan Cloud Sect for interrogation.
They caught the person in the morning, and Zi Yuan arrived in the afternoon.
Within an hour, all eighteen mbers of the third branch were completely wiped out.
It was because the Cyan Cloud Sect is protective and retaliates fiercely that Du Juan managed to attack the Cyan Cloud Sect disciple and retreat unscathed, which was considered quite an impressive achievent.
Although the outco didn’t differ much as she ended up dead swiftly afterward.
But it was enough to prove Du Juan’s worth.
"Chi Lian, did you really injure a Cyan Cloud Sect disciple?"
To be sure, the captain asked specifically, "You wouldn’t just be putting on a show, boasting to , would you?"
The red-haired woman sneered, "What use would boasting to you be? Would I get paid for it? They were just rookie magical girls. If it weren’t for the Disaster Strategy Bureau getting in the way, we’d have caught them long ago!"
"It’s a pity; if you could catch one, that’d be even better."
The captain’s words puzzled Chi Lian for a mont, "What do you an?"
"Nothing much, hehe, hurry and catch one back to see the strength."
"Naturally, we’ll catch one in the future, no need for you to rush ."
The captain was already looking forward to Zi Yuan going to Jiangming City.
The hardships I’ve endured, others must endure too!
"Stop rambling, captain. Now the Beihai Witch Association has been completely drained by you, and you’re holding three blooming Miracle Seeds all by yourself. It’s really a waste; give one."
"I said there’s only one, so there’s only one."
"Stop joking, who’d believe that."
"Believe it or not."
"If you’re like this, we have nothing to talk about. In Beihai, you can ss around until you die. I’d like to see what you can do alone with three Miracle Seeds without anyone else’s help!"
Cutting off contact, the captain rubbed his face.
Despite being all alone in Beihai City, facing the Cyan Cloud Sect and Disaster Strategy Bureau by himself.
Though other cities’ witch associations have mostly turned against him because of the Miracle Seeds and are unwilling to help.
But it doesn’t matter.
All preparations are completed, all sacrifices are worthwhile.
The captain picked up the one and only Miracle Seed, extrely thin threads connected from all directions, wrapping around the Miracle Seed.
On the opposite end of each thread was a complete Disaster Beast Egg!
"Co on, co on."
The captain inserted the Miracle Seed into the blood-red cross on his forehead!
"Revive, my beloved!"
"My proud A-level Disaster Beast!"
...
After discussing the specific departure ti and action plan, understanding the situation in Jiangming City, and sparring with Bai i, Jiang Si left the Cyan Cloud Sect when the sky turned a bit gray.
Upon going out, he discovered that the city was foggy.
Fog at night is quite unusual for Beihai considering its location and weather.
However, on his familiar path ho in the South District, he noticed severe traffic congestion.
Despite the dense fog all around the city, it was essentially thin mist and didn’t affect visibility much.
Driving shouldn’t be affected.
Seeing many people stuck in traffic, with elongated honking sounds piercing the air, Jiang Si just shook his head.
The longer he spent in traffic, the more he felt cars were utterly unnecessary for him.
Besides being prone to traffic jams on the road, cars are particularly inconvenient; parking requires finding spots, and so places charge parking fees.
In traffic jams, walking is faster than driving.
What’s more, even without traffic jams, running was faster than driving for Jiang Si—buying a car would just waste money.
Not that he could afford a car.
He jogged ho with a slightly sweet, oddly suffocating sll in the fog, which wasn’t very pleasant.
When he arrived ho, he closed the windows and doors and switched on the air conditioner to adjust the air.
As usual, he heated up his al, and while he was eating, Keke ca out of her bedroom. Jiang Si glanced at her and casually asked, "Did Li Yi return?"
"Yeah, she said she would stay at the Disaster Strategy Bureau these days to familiarize herself with the Security Departnt’s work."
"Security Departnt?"
Keke sat at the table and continued, "She can’t transform anymore, so she needs to stay in the Security Departnt and learn so work skills from Senior Susan. This way, she doesn’t have to return ho; it’s a good thing for Yiyi."
"Oh."
Understanding, Jiang Si didn’t say anything else.
Though he thought Li Yi clearly still had the ability to transform, but why she claid she couldn’t anymore remained unknown.
Perhaps she grew tired of the magical girl lifestyle and decided to retire, using that as an excuse.
It seed a waste of the Miracle Seed.
If she really no longer wants to be a magical girl, Li Yi should give her seed back to the Twin to make the most of it...
Thinking about it, he didn’t dwell on it.
The New Seedlings Miracle Seed wasn’t sothing he strongly needed.
While eating, surprisingly, Keke didn’t return to her room and instead, wearing her bear slippers, sat at the table.
"I... I have sothing to ask you, Jiang Si."
"What is it?"
"Did you see Teacher Zi Yuan today?"
After thinking, Jiang Si nodded, "I did."
Before returning, he transford and sparred with Bai i in the sect, so he did see her.
"Did she ntion ?"
Seeing Keke’s sowhat expectant gaze, Jiang Si took a sip of water. "She ntioned you."
Happy yet nervous, Keke clenched her fists and lightly tapped the table, "Did she say I got stronger? As a magical girl."
"No."
Without hesitation, Jiang Si said, "She said you learn too much randomly, didn’t absorb much of anything, and while imitating was a convenient progress thod initially, the higher you go, the more it’s about mastering depth in one ability; learning too much was just superficial and useless."
The more Jiang Si spoke, the lower Keke’s head drooped until she lay directly on the table.
A defeated look.
Considering, Jiang Si thought it might have been too harsh.
He took out a piece of paper written by Bingtang to avoid revealing discrepancies, "Here’s advice from Zi Yuan. It lists which skills suit you better, need further study and deep research, which skills don’t suit you and should be discarded, and which skills can be kept as backup."
"Oh."
Reluctantly smiling, Keke accepted the paper, "Thank Zi Yuan for ."
"Mm."
Nodding, Jiang Si recalled how Keke perford initially, "Oh, by the way, Zi Yuan also said she was surprised at your improved magic control precision, keep up the hardworking progress."
Finally hearing a complint, Keke showed a sowhat relaxed smile.
Holding the paper, "I worked so hard to reach that stage."
Speaking more, though Jiang Si could tell Keke wasn’t talking to him.
She was talking to Zi Yuan through him.
The feeling was quite strange.
Keke hopped off to her room to fetch her phone, and when she returned, Jiang Si felt a peculiar sense of blurriness.
Rubbing his eyes, the blurriness disappeared.
"Oh, by the way, tomorrow, or maybe the day after, I need to go to the neighboring Jiangming City for a day or two. You should be careful alone at ho, rember to lock the doors, don’t lose things. If needed, have Li Yi co here to stay too."
"I can handle being alone."
Saying so, Keke hesitated for a mont and asked, "How long until you return?"
"Not sure, probably two or three days."
Standing up, he washed and tidied the dishes, intending to head upstairs when Keke said, "Return early, don’t leave alone, Brother."
"Oh."
Holding the tidied dishes, Jiang Si suddenly looked up at Keke.
"What did you just say?"
Keke tilted her head in confusion, "Return early."
"The next sentence."
"Don’t leave alone, Brother."
After a mont of silence, Jiang Si replied, "You got it wrong."
"What nonsense are you talking about, Brother," Keke said amusedly, "We..."
Before she could finish, Jiang Si slapped her face "smack," causing imdiate swelling.
Jiang Si coldly said, "Call Dad."
