Fulilian: The Little Master Who Doesn't Understand Love

Chapter 334 is up to you.
Outside a room shrouded in layers of barriers in the basement of the Magic Association.

Celia was leaning impatiently against the stone wall with her arms crossed. She had just finished assigning tasks to her good-for-nothing disciples and rushed over, but she didn't expect that Lord's interrogation was not over yet, so she could only wait outside.

Finally, the door opened, and Lord stepped out. She immediately stood up straight and went to greet him.

"So, did you get any answers?"

Celia knew that Lord possessed a unique form of mental magic that could guide the subconscious mind of the target without harming their soul, making them unconsciously reveal the truth—the best method of interrogation.

However, the drawbacks are also obvious: interference during the interrogation process can easily cause the subject to lose their memory, and in severe cases, they may even become an idiot.

Lord let out a soft breath and nodded: "We've gotten a lot of information, but the clues are limited."

As he walked out alongside Celia, he briefly recounted the interrogation results: "According to the testimonies of the ringleader and the other attackers, there is indeed an organization behind them targeting us."

“Oh?” Celia raised an eyebrow.

"Since we returned to the Magic Association, they have already sent a large number of people to lie in wait around the association for a long time to monitor it."

Furthermore, to minimize the chances of being detected by our detection magic, the observers they chose were mostly ordinary people without any magical fluctuations, or low-level magic apprentices.

Seria instantly understood: "No wonder! I've been maintaining a basic alert barrier, and Lord, you've been using detection magic the whole time, but we haven't detected anything obvious. It turns out they were just a group of ordinary people..."

For powerful individuals at their level, who are accustomed to sensing the powerful energy fluctuations around them, it is easy for them to overlook ordinary individuals with average strength.

This is indeed a blind spot in thinking.

After all, even if these people suddenly launched an attack, they wouldn't be able to break through their defenses, so naturally they wouldn't care about them.

“That’s right,” Lord confirmed. “These people have been following us ever since we left the association this afternoon. They’re very patient, waiting for the perfect moment to strike, and they’ve been changing the people following us every now and then to avoid being discovered.”

Celia immediately connected the dots with the earlier street conflict: "So, when we encountered Evan and his group arguing with those adventurers, it was also a deliberate disturbance they created to distract us?"

Lord shook his head: "No, that's not it. The conflict was purely coincidental, not something they planned. However, the leader of that adventurer team was indeed one of them, which is why he couldn't help but attack when he saw such a good distance. His ordinary team members were unaware of this."

Celia's face darkened: "It seems there are quite a few disgusting people hiding in this capital."

Lord continued, "Based on these people's testimonies, I obtained some names of those targeting us. Unfortunately, these are all peripheral members, and we still don't know who the real mastermind is."

“It’s alright,” a sharp glint flashed in Celia’s eyes. “Now that we have the list, let’s arrest them one by one! Follow the clues, investigate layer by layer, and I refuse to believe we can’t find the real mastermind!”

Lord also felt that this method was simple and direct, and currently the most effective.

"Sure. Anyway, as long as they still covet the so-called magic of immortality, they probably won't leave the capital easily. We have plenty of time to play along with them."

After finishing their business, Lord turned to ask, "What did you do with those kids, Evan and his buddies?"

When her disciples were mentioned, Celia snorted in annoyance: "What else can I do? A bunch of idiots who don't even have basic combat experience! I had Vlame and Ella take them to the training ground. They need to be given a good beating."

Just then, Celia seemed to have a sudden flash of inspiration and thought of something.

Her eyes lit up slightly, and she reached out to take Lord's hand: "Come with me!"

Lord was a little confused, but he let her pull him along and led him to the training ground located in the middle of the association.

At this moment, magical light flashed continuously in the training ground, and explosions rose and fell one after another.

Five disciples, including Evan and Legolas, were seen scrambling and fleeing in a disheveled state across the training ground. Above them, Vlame and Ella hovered in mid-air, expressionlessly unleashing various mid-level spells, forcing them to jump and leap about.

"Stop!"

Celia's cold voice rang out, as if pressing the pause button on this one-sided torment.

Upon hearing the sound, Vlame and Ella immediately stopped, withdrew their magic, and landed back on the ground.

Evan and the others, as if completely exhausted, were panting heavily and slumped on the ground, looking utterly disheveled.

To avoid the attacks of the two senior sisters, everyone dodged desperately. Although taking a hit wouldn't kill them, it would definitely hurt a lot.

“Listen, I have a task for you,” Celia said bluntly.

A mission? The disciples looked at each other in bewilderment.

They couldn't fathom what task Ms. Celie would assign them at this time.

Seria didn't keep him in suspense and said directly, "According to reliable sources, there is a group of people in the capital who intend to harm me and Lord. Your mission is to find them and then... eliminate them all."

"what?!"

Evan was stunned for a moment, almost thinking he had misheard. He blurted out instinctively, "Just... just us?"

He could guess without even thinking that anyone who dared to harbor ill intentions towards Teacher Celie and Lord Lord was definitely one of the most powerful beings on the continent.

With these rookies who can't even beat street adventurers, going looking for trouble with these people? This isn't just throwing eggs against rocks, it's practically handing themselves over to die.

The other disciples, including the older Legolas, also wore expressions of disbelief.

Seria was furious at their pathetic behavior, but she suppressed the urge to scold them and added, "Of course, it's not just you who are going. Vlamé will go with you."

"Me?" Vlame, who was standing to the side, was also stunned. She had never expected that she would be involved in this.

She asked somewhat hesitantly, "Teacher, if I take them to complete the mission, what about the internal affairs of the association?"

Before she could finish speaking, Celia waved her hand impatiently, interrupting her: "Isn't Ella still in the association? Just let her temporarily take over for you."

Vlame's gaze unconsciously shifted to Ella, who was still unaware of what was happening.

Can Ella do it?
Vlame still remembered the last time the other party handled association matters and caused chaos throughout the entire association.

She opened her mouth as if to say something, but when she saw Celia's unquestionable gaze, she swallowed back the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

“Yes, teacher. I understand.” Vlamé lowered his head and accepted the sudden assignment.

Seria nodded in satisfaction and looked back at her disciples who were still processing the astonishing news: "This mission will be your best practical lesson. Stay alert, don't die out there and embarrass me!"

The training ground fell silent for a moment.

Looking at Celia's serious expression and then at Lord's "good luck to you guys" look, Evan and the others felt a mix of emotions.

Can we really do it?
