People are in the magic card, instigating rebellion against the world.

Chapter 97 Meiling, she truly loves you~ You've finally gained a sliver of Tomoyo's favor!
Li Meiling collapsed to the ground, staring at him in shock and terror: "What...what did you do to me?"

"It's nothing," Ye Hui casually made up. "It's just Chinese kung fu, acupressure."

He looked at her and said calmly, "You lost, Li Meiling."

Li Meiling sat blankly on the ground, her eyes glazed over, unable to accept the fact.

"Shall we continue?" Ye Hui asked.

Li Meiling bit her lip, remained silent for a moment, and did not speak.

She has a strong personality and is a girl who doesn't admit defeat, but she's not someone who can't handle losing.

The facts are clear: she did lose.

And it was a complete defeat.

—The other party didn't even make a move.

"I...I lost."

The three words were practically squeezed out through gritted teeth.

[Li Meiling's mood score +25]

"very good!"

This emotional value is way too generous!

Ye Hui nodded in satisfaction, reached out and pulled her up from the ground. "Remember our agreement."

After saying that, he turned and walked towards Sakura and Tomoyo.

"Xiaoying, Li Meiling shouldn't bother you anymore." Ye Hui smiled slightly.

"Ye Hui-jun, thank you~!" Sakura, who had just witnessed the scene, was filled with admiration and spoke sincerely.

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +15]

Tomoyo's purple eyes curved into a smile: "Yoko-kun, the duel just now was quite exciting!"

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +11】

Ye Hui glanced back at Li Meiling, who was still standing there blankly, seemingly questioning her life, and shook his head inwardly.

What he just used wasn't any kind of acupressure; it was just pure spiritual energy.

With his mid-Foundation Establishment level spiritual power, a precise impact on Li Meiling's meridians would cause her legs to temporarily go numb.

They were directly rendered incapable of fighting.

In fact, if he really used the methods of cultivating immortality...

That girl is probably already lying on the ground by now.

Ye Hui and the others ignored her.

Some things you just have to figure out for yourself.

Suddenly, Li Meiling called out to Ye Hui's back, her voice carrying a hint of stubbornness.

"I won't target her! But I won't give up the Clow Cards! The Clow Cards belong to Syaoran!"

[Li Meiling's mood score +7]

Ye Hui didn't turn around, but just waved his hand behind him: "Whatever."

Anyway, with him around, Li Xiaolang hasn't even gotten a single Clow Card yet.

Even if Li Meiling were included, the situation probably wouldn't be much different.

The duel ended in an overwhelming victory for Ye Hui.

The effect is clearly significant.

Wait until the next day.

As expected, Li Meiling stopped trying to outdo Xiaoying in everything as before.

When she saw Sakura, she would still snort and turn her head away, but at least she didn't do anything out of line again.

It seems that all the energy previously focused on Sakura has been shifted to Ye Hui.

She began to stare at Ye Hui frequently with a probing yet defiant look in her eyes.

Is this because they can't target Sakura directly, so they've flexibly shifted their focus?

Ye Hui shrugged.

That doesn't matter, as long as he doesn't bother me, I can look at whatever I want.

He's so handsome, there are tons of people who want to stare at him every day, how can he possibly manage them all?
And what's more, you can also earn some emotional points along the way!
Why not do it?
[Li Meiling's mood score +5]

[Li Meiling's mood score +8]

……

That night.

Ye Hui had only been in a meditative state for a short time.

The phone suddenly rang.

The caller ID read "Daidouji Tomoyo".

He answered the phone, and Tomoyo's voice came through: "Hello, is this Ye-kun?"

"It's me, Tomoyo. What's wrong? It's so late, is there anything I can help you with?"

Ye Hui was somewhat surprised, as Zhi Shi rarely called him at this time.

unless……

Is it a Clow Card?

"Ye, come to Penguin Park right away!" Tomoyo said quickly, "There are Clow Cards here!"

"Clow Cards?" Ye Hui was taken aback.

Ah! Yes!

Distracted by Li Meiling, and also because he was obsessed with cultivating immortality.

He had almost forgotten that Doupai was still wandering around outside.

It's been two days already.

Presumably, the urge to engage in card battles has passed by now.

It's time to bring the kids home.

“Yes,” Tomoyo quickly explained, “Sakura saw the news and suspected that the Clow Cards were behind it, so she wanted to go out for a walk, and she actually ran into them at Penguin Park.”

"This card is very powerful. I'm worried that Sakura might get hurt. She might need your help!"

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +13】

"Okay, wait for me, I'll be there soon."

Ye Hui hung up the phone without the slightest hesitation.

He cast a speed and invisibility spell on himself, and his figure instantly disappeared from the room.

The penguin park isn't too far from his home.

At his current speed, he'll arrive in a minute or two.

Call ~
The wind blew.

I just arrived at the park.

Ye Hui spotted the group of people facing off on the bridge at a glance.

Sakura was wearing a pink lantern-sleeved tulip dress with a matching beret, which was her battle outfit for this mission.

Tomoyo wore a matching solid-color fitted mini dress, simple yet stylish.

Even Xiao Ke has a pair of matching sleeves and a bow.

—Every inch of fabric is used perfectly.

Sakura and Tomoyo stood together, looking nervously at each other.

Li Meiling, standing to the side, assumed a fighting stance, looking ready to strike at any moment.

And in front of the three of them.

A girl dressed in blue with a mysterious Chinese style stood on the bridge railing, her posture arrogant.

The corners of Ye Hui's mouth twitched.

Is this a mix of fighting style and Chinese style?
When Zhi Shi saw Ye Hui arrive, she relaxed a little: "Ye Hui, you're here."

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +14】

[You suddenly received a message talisman from the Dharma Protector Daidoji Tomoyo. She and Kinomoto Sakura, a disciple of the Heavenly Spirit Root, encountered a powerful demon beast while undergoing trials!]

[Tomoyo Daidouji thought of you first and asked for your help. After many days of hard work, you finally gained a sliver of her favor!]

[You were overjoyed that your efforts to win over the defectors had finally paid off, and rushed over on your sword, only to nearly fall off in your excitement!]

The system's task log stopped here, as if it had broken down and wouldn't move.

Ye Hui understood immediately.

There are still some people who haven't arrived yet.

This must be Li Xiaolang, who is still on his way.

But will the system suddenly pop up a faction conflict mission as soon as he arrives?
However, judging from the description in the mission log, the main character this time is still Tomoyo.

So perhaps it's a mission to forge a bond.

"Why didn't you call me to come with you? You came over by yourselves first, and you're dressed so formally." Ye Hui came to Zhi Shi's side.

Tomoyo smiled and said, "That's enough~ I just wanted to ask Sakura to come out for a photoshoot and do some sightseeing, but I didn't expect to run into the Clow Cards."

At this moment, Keroberos darted out from behind Sakura, flapping its wings, hands on its hips, and shouting in its loud voice.

"Hey! You bastard! Surrender right now!"

However, Doupai didn't even lift an eyelid, completely ignoring it.

However, some people are quite interested in it.

"Huh? What's this? Is it a little elf? Or a flying doll?" Li Meiling turned her head curiously and stared at the little doll in mid-air.

"What?! I'm not a doll! I'm the sealing beast that protects the Clow Cards!" Kero-chan's eyes widened, and she jumped up and down on the spot.

"Huh? Are you sure you're the sealed beast Little Wolf was talking about? Keroberos, the guy known as the Sun?"

As Li Meiling spoke, she reached out and grabbed Xiao Ke from mid-air with swift and precise movements.

"Whoa! What are you doing? Let me go!" Xiao Ke kicked and struggled wildly, her furry body twisting and turning.

“Let me see…” Li Meiling stretched out two fingers, pinched Xiao Ke’s furry cheeks, and gently pulled them to both sides.

"So the so-called sealed beast is something that looks like a bathroom sponge!" She let go of it and looked at it with surprise.

"Waaaaah...my face..."

Xiao Ke let out a pitiful cry, but upon hearing Li Meiling's words, she became even more furious, her fur standing on end.

"You brat, say that again!"

Li Meiling actually "said" it once.

She slapped Xiao Ke so hard that he flew away.

Little Ke traced a parabola in the air, screaming as she plummeted towards the ground.

"Kero, are you alright?" Sakura quickly reached out and caught it, carefully smoothing its ruffled fur.

Li Meiling confidently declared, "Let me tell you, even if you have Ye Hui's help, with me here, Little Wolf is still going to win! Little Wolf and I are a perfect team!"

"I'm so angry, Ye boy, hurry up and teach this brat a lesson!" Xiao Ke waved her little fists and shouted angrily.

[Kerberos's Mood Value +11]

Ye Hui raised an eyebrow and looked at Xiao Ke: "Why didn't you say anything bad about me this time?"

Xiao Ke grumbled and turned her face away: "For the sake of you being on my side..."

Just then, Doupai, who had been silent all along, finally made a move.

It clasped its hands together, seemingly bowing to Sakura.

The next second, a punch came straight at him, the force of which was obvious.

Under Ye Hui's training, Xiaoying's reaction speed is now vastly different from what it used to be.

Although the attack came suddenly, he managed to sidestep and dodge the punch.

"Boom!"

Dou Pai's fist slammed onto the bridge surface with a dull thud.

When the group looked over, they discovered that a small dent had been smashed into the surface.

The power of this punch is evident.

"Sakura! This is a card game!"

Xiao Ke became serious and said in a solemn tone, "Fighting cards are cards used specifically for fighting, and they will constantly seek out strong opponents to challenge."

"Huh? But I don't know any fighting techniques!" Sakura's face fell instantly, looking completely bewildered. "Does it see me as a strong fighter?"

Sakura: ╥﹏╥ Please let me go!

Ye Hui encouraged, "Xiaoying, you're our big sister, of course you're strong."

“That’s right, Sakura is the best~” Tomoyo chimed in with a smile.

Infected by the relaxed attitude of her two good friends, Sakura's nervousness dissipated considerably.

There have been Clow Cards that were even more difficult to deal with than this one before.

As long as Tomoyo and Yoru are there, there's nothing to worry about!
[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +16]

"Come on, let's play cards!" Sakura took a deep breath, gripped her magic wand tightly, and her eyes hardened.

Unexpectedly, after Sakura was ready, the card game suddenly shifted its focus.

Its gaze, like that of a predator locking onto its prey, was fixed firmly on Li Meiling.

"Huh?" Sakura stood there, dumbfounded.

"what?"

Li Meiling was stunned for a moment, then realized—this was a challenge to her!
"Hahaha! Now you know who the real strongman is!"

She grinned, adopted a standard fighting stance, and her eyes blazed with fighting spirit.

Sakura muttered to herself, "What's going on?"

Seeing this, Ye Hui immediately took out his camera and snapped several pictures of Xiao Ying's bewildered expression.

"It wants to duel this girl." Xiao Ke frowned.

Tomoyo frowned: "Isn't that very dangerous? Doupai has already defeated several karate and judo masters. Even though Li Meiling is very strong, she was still defeated by Ye Zi in one move."

However, at this moment, Li Meiling's fighting spirit was completely ignited, and she couldn't wait to take a step forward.

"Okay! Come on!"

Doupai rushed over instantly.

After exchanging blows for several rounds, Li Meiling spotted an opening and kicked Dou Pai away, sending him flying to the ground some distance away, where he lay motionless.

Seeing this, she clapped her hands, put away her stance, and looked at Sakura with a hint of smugness: "You don't know any martial arts at all, how dare you touch the Clow Cards? Do you rely on them entirely?"

Ye Hui retorted, "Of course not, our big sister is amazing! Right, Xiaoying?"

Sakura's lips twitched, then she nodded vigorously, her eyes resolute: "Yes! I'm amazing too!"

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +6]

"Well--"

at this time.

The card that had been kicked away suddenly stood up again.

Li Meiling smirked: "Haven't you learned your lesson yet?"

Ye Hui glanced at it and kindly reminded her from the side, "Li Meiling, you'd better be careful. The fighting skills of card fighting are very high, and it will constantly adapt to your moves."

Li Meiling pursed her lips, clearly not taking his words to heart.

She kept swinging her fists and launching fierce attacks, but this time she was easily defended by Doupai.

Ye Hui stroked his chin, pondering to himself.

Doupai is learning Li Meiling's moves; it's like feeding her the moves.

If things continue like this, Li Meiling will undoubtedly lose.

Sure enough, the next second.

Li Meiling lost her patience and swept her leg, kicking Dou Pai's lower body.

But it was at this moment that she revealed a flaw.

—Dou's hand precisely grabbed her ankle, and his wrist suddenly jerked.

Li Meiling was thrown out and crashed heavily to the ground.

"Hiss, damn it..."

A mortal body is naturally inferior to a body sculpted by magic.

After such a fall, she won't recover as quickly as she would from a card game.

Li Meiling gritted her teeth, braced herself with her hands on the ground, and struggled to get up.

Dou Pai seized the opportunity to jump high into the air, using the height of his fall to build up momentum for his fist, and it looked like he was about to deliver a punch.

"Ah!" Sakura and Tomoyo both exclaimed in surprise, their faces turning pale instantly.

Ye Hui then teleported to the riverbank and snapped his fingers.

"Confess!"

Whoosh!
In an instant, the card player who had been so aggressive suddenly vanished from the spot.

"Eh?"

Everyone was stunned.

Including Li Meiling, who was lying on the ground.

She watched helplessly as the cards in front of her disappeared, her mind going completely blank.

"thump!"

A loud splash came from the river beside them.

A huge splash of water appeared on the river surface as Dou Pai fell into the river and disappeared instantly.

"What...what just happened?" Sakura's eyes widened in shock.

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +10]

Tomoyo blinked, then looked thoughtfully at Ye Hui: "It must have been Ye Hui who made the move, right?"

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +8】

Ye Hui sighed inwardly.

Having used magic so often in front of Sakura and Tomoyo, the two girls seemed to have gotten used to it.

The amount of emotional value given is also decreasing.

It seems he needs to find a new way to get rich.

He slowly walked back to Sakura and Tomoyo, and nodded: "This is a new spell I recently mastered."

At the same time, a figure dressed in a Taoist robe hurriedly ran over from another entrance to the penguin park.

"Strawberry Bell!"

It was Li Xiaolang who arrived.

He looked anxious and rushed over to help Li Meiling up from the ground.

Li Xiaolang's sudden appearance finally allowed the system task log to continue refreshing.

[You rush to the training grounds of Kinomoto Sakura, a disciple of the Heavenly Spiritual Root, and Daidouji Tomoyo, a protector of the Dharma, only to find that the genius disciple Li Xiaolang and the body-cultivating girl Li Meiling are also present, and the two sides are in a standoff!]

Ever since Li Meiling joined the Myriad Laws Immortal Sect, tensions between the two factions have been running high, and you, an innocent bystander, almost got caught in the crossfire!

At this moment, you choose...

1. Join Li Xiaolang and beat up Kinomoto Sakura.

2. Assisting the Dharma Protector Daidoji Tomoyo

3. Beat both sides up and become public enemy number one.

[Ding! Detected...] "I choose 2!"

Before the task log could continue to refresh, Ye Hui preemptively interrupted the system's "spellcasting".

[Ding! You have refreshed the side quest "The Conflict Between Two Factions"! You have chosen to help the Dharma Protector Daidoji Tomoyo and defeat Li Xiaolang!]

Ye Hui didn't expect that making the choice in advance would actually work, and it actually interrupted the system's process.

Otherwise, given the nature of this broken system, it would definitely display something like "Main quest detected, automatically selected for you..."

While it's possible to exploit bugs, racking your brains to find them is exhausting!
It seems that this is how I can handle similar choices in the future.

"Little Wolf!" Li Meiling's face lit up with joy when she saw Li Xiaolang, and she reached out to hug his neck.

Unexpectedly, Li Xiaolang shoved her away, his voice filled with anger: "Didn't I tell you not to come?"

Despite his harsh words, a hint of concern lingered in his eyes.

“I…” Li Meiling lowered her head in grievance and her voice became soft after he yelled at her.

"Meiling, are you alright!" Sakura and Tomoyo ran over too. "That was so dangerous! Thank goodness Yoko was here."

Ye Hui followed behind.

Li Meiling awkwardly turned her head away, stubbornly saying, "What could possibly happen to me? I just slipped and fell!"

"I told you, why did you come here alone! The Clow Cards are dangerous!" Li Xiaolang's voice rose even higher.

"Little Wolf! Do you think I'm useless?!" Li Meiling's temper flared up as she glared at him and retorted.

"What?! You!" Li Xiaolang was speechless, his face flushed with anger.

"Alright, alright, you two stop arguing." Sakura quickly stepped in to smooth things over, "Meiling meant well..."

"Hmph!" Li Meiling and Li Xiaolang snorted at the same time, turning their heads to the side and ignoring each other.

"So you ran away on your own without telling this kid!"

Xiao Ke flew over, his tone tinged with schadenfreude.

It still remembers the slap it received earlier.

"Who are you calling a brat?!" Li Meiling immediately glared at him, unleashing all the anger she had been suppressing while playing cards.

Xiao Ke crossed her arms and snorted, "I've been very polite by calling you little brats!"

Ye Hui shrugged and chimed in, "Indeed, Xiao Ke still calls me 'little devil'."

He changed the subject, looking at Li Meiling, "By the way, Meiling, are you here to catch Clow Cards? How did you know there were Clow Cards here?"

Li Meiling was taken aback by the question, and subconsciously glanced at Li Xiaolang before stammering, "I...I asked Uncle Wen to help me find it..."

"Wenbo?" Li Xiaolang's face instantly darkened. "You actually asked Wenbo to help you find the Clow Cards?"

"I..." Li Meiling knew she was in the wrong, so she lowered her head and nervously twisted the hem of her clothes.

"This is ridiculous!" Li Xiaolang stomped his feet in anger, then stretched out his hand. "Give me this! The compass!"

Li Meiling glared at Ye Hui, took out the compass from her bosom, and reluctantly handed it to Li Xiaolang.

[Li Meiling's mood score +13]

Ye Hui shrugged.

Why isn't the emotional value as generous this time?

"I couldn't get it to move, so I asked Winbo for help, but even Winbo didn't know the exact location of the Clow Cards, only a general direction. He had a really hard time finding them..."

Li Meiling's voice grew softer and softer, tinged with a hint of grievance.

"Strawberry! I told you, collecting Clow Cards isn't a game!"

"Oh dear, it seems this girl has no magic at all." Xiao Ke flew over and crossed her arms.

"Really?" Sakura asked, somewhat surprised.

Xiao Ke continued, "I didn't expect the Li family to have anyone without magical powers. It seems the Li family isn't that powerful after all!"

“What do you know, you little doll!” Li Meiling retorted immediately. “Our Li family’s Taoist arts are profound and extensive!”

"You don't even have magic power, so what are you talking about Taoist arts!"

Xiao Ke curled its lip in disdain, put its wings on its waist, and then flapped them open again.

"Those without magic can only be ordinary people!"

"I don't like hearing that. So what if you don't have magic? You didn't have magic before Tomoyo, did you?"

Ye Hui spoke, his gaze sweeping over Xiao Ke.

"Moreover, without magic, to have mastered martial arts to this level, I think is much more impressive than some mascots that can only eat."

In an environment like the Li family's.

Li Meiling, a girl without magic, put in an unimaginable amount of effort to keep up with Li Xiaolang.

Xiao Ke was taken aback, then raised its paws: "Whose side are you on anyway? And who are you saying only eats! Who's the mascot?!"

[Kerberos's Mood Value +13]

Li Meiling looked at Ye Hui in surprise.

She never expected that Ye Hui would speak up for her.

[Li Meiling's mood score +15]

"Of course I stand on the side of truth."

Knowledge is truth!
at this time.

"Wow!"

The paddle that had fallen into the river suddenly burst out of the water, splashing water everywhere with a fierce force!

"No way? It's the same old entrance again!" Xiao Ke yelled and hid behind her.

It didn't like this guy who only knew how to fight and whose brain was controlled by his muscles at all.

"Oh no! It's coming!" The compass in Li Xiaolang's hand suddenly emitted a blinding light.

No sooner had he finished speaking than Doupai had already locked onto his target.

It was Li Meiling, my opponent from just now.

In a moment of desperation, Li Xiaolang stepped forward without thinking and stood in front of Li Meiling.

"boom!"

With a powerful kick, Li Xiaolang flew backwards towards Ye Hui!

"Little wolf!" Li Meiling's face turned pale instantly, and she screamed as she lunged forward.

Ye Hui then snapped his fingers again: "Expel them."

The next second, Li Xiaolang stood steadily back in his original position, and his injuries seemed to have healed somewhat.

This is another use for this supernatural power that Ye Hui discovered.

Increasing the output of spiritual energy can, to some extent, restore an object to its previous state.

However, this requires a lot of spiritual power. Ye Hui felt that it would be better to just throw out a healing talisman instead of doing that.

But clearly, if this supernatural power were to develop to its full potential, it would inevitably possess considerable power, and even involve time!
"What... what's going on?" Li Meiling was shocked by what she saw.

[Li Meiling's mood score +26]

Ye Hui looked over.

We'd completely forgotten about that.

There is another person here who has never seen his magic.

As his emotional points surged, he casually remarked, "This is merely a small supernatural ability I possess on my path of cultivation."

[Li Meiling's mood score +24]

"Little Wolf! Are you alright?!"

Li Meiling, temporarily forgetting about the cultivators, snapped out of her shock and rushed to Li Xiaolang's side, her eyes red and tears welling up. "You scared me to death!"

"I...I'm fine." Li Xiaolang shook his head.

Ye Hui's supernatural power just now made him feel much better.

"It's all my fault! If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have..." Li Meiling said, tears finally falling down her face.

She suddenly turned around, her bloodshot eyes fixed on Doupai, filled with rage: "How dare you hurt my little wolf!"

Completely disregarding the disparity in strength between the two sides, she charged towards Doupai again, her punches and kicks delivered with a desperate ferocity.

However, anger can never bridge the gap in strength.

Dou Pai easily deflected all her attacks with composure.

Ye Hui quietly intervened from the side, skillfully using the spiritual energy swirling around his fingertips to deflect the force of the card fight.

This way, Li Meiling won't get hurt, and her competitive spirit won't be dampened.

—For a strong-willed girl like this, this kind of help might be more appropriate.

"Mei-ling!" Tomoyo exclaimed, watching the two locked in combat, forgetting even to raise the camera in her hand.

"Sakura! Think of something quick! It's a card game; we can only subdue it by defeating it!" Kero said from the side.

Sakura was also anxious, her grip on her wand tightened slightly, and her mind raced.

What should we do? Which card should we use now?
Tomoyo suddenly said softly, "This card feels a bit like the Strength card..."

Ye Hui nodded in agreement, saying, "That's right, Sakura. Actually, to deal with card fighting, you can just overwhelm them with sheer power."

"One force can overcome all techniques. As long as the strength is sufficient, no technique is useful. You can sweep through everything in your path with overwhelming force."

"But... the power of the Power Piece is too great, I'm afraid I won't be able to control it well..." Sakura hesitated.

Ye Hui smirked: "What's there to be afraid of? You're a recognized powerhouse in card battles. Besides, are you worried you can shatter the Clow Cards with one punch? They're Clow Cards!"

Tomoyo nodded, "That's right, Sakura, we all believe in you!"

"Meiling!" Seeing Meiling gradually losing ground, Li Xiaolang was anxious and wanted to rush over to help.

"Wait, Li!"

Sakura beat him to it, reaching out to stop him. "Leave it to me!"

She took a deep breath, raised her wand high, and the clear sound pierced the night sky.

"force!"

In the face of absolute power, any skill seems pale in comparison.

Sakura, wand in hand, charged forward and, with all her might, smashed it straight down on the card player's head!
This is the most straightforward and unadorned wake-up call.

"Clang—~~~!"

There was a muffled sound.

Dou Pai froze on the spot, his fist, poised to strike, also stopped in mid-air, as if the pause button had been forcibly pressed.

"Eh...?" Sakura put away her wand and blinked.

next second.

Dou Pai maintained his offensive stance, but fell straight backward.

"boom!"

Dust billowed up, and the ground seemed to tremble.

A dignified card player was KO'd by Sakura with a single magic wand.

Ye Hui held his forehead.

As the saying goes, even the best kung fu master is afraid of a kitchen knife.

This is what they call "miracles happen with great effort," right?
No matter how skilled you are at fighting with cards, you're still afraid of being physically exorcised.

That being said, even though the Clow Cards are a fusion of magic and law, does that mean you're guaranteed not to get a concussion?

"Success...success!"

Sakura was somewhat bewildered as she looked at the fallen card player.

Kero shouted, "Quick! Now! Sakura, seal it!"

"Ok!"

Sakura snapped out of her daze, raised her wand, and aimed it at the fighting cards on the ground.

"Return to your original form, Clow Card!"

In an instant, Doupai's body transformed into specks of light, hovering in the air for a moment.

Finally, they all came together to form a Clow Card, which then gently landed in Sakura's hand.

Just as Sakura captured the Fighting Card, Ye Hui's task panel also showed that it was completed.

It seems he was right.

The task at hand is to help Daidoji Tomoyo.

The task is determined by whether Sakura successfully captures the Clow Cards.

[You chose to help the Dharma Protector Daidoji Tomoyo. With your help, the Heavenly Spirit Root disciple Kinomoto Sakura was no match for the genius disciple Li Xiaolang!]

Ye Hui: ???
A line of text that suddenly appeared in the task log made him pause in surprise.

What do you mean?
Unbeatable?

What nonsense is this idiotic system spouting now?
Fortunately, Sakura Kinomoto turned the tide, using the Primordial Law of All Techniques she had mastered in the library, and successfully defeated Li Xiaolang! It's all thanks to her; you won without lifting a finger!

[Ding! You have completed the side quest "The Conflict Between Two Factions"! You have received the reward "Divine Evolution" x1!]

Supernatural evolution?
Ye Hui's breathing suddenly stopped.

This was a reward he had never received before.

Based on previous observations, all the supernatural powers he currently possesses have corresponding higher-level supernatural powers.

In other words, this reward will grant him a superior divine power directly?!

Ye Hui was overjoyed.

This reward is absolutely wonderful!

As for which supernatural power to use this evolutionary opportunity.

Ye Hui still needs to go back and think about it carefully.

"Sakura, that's amazing!" Tomoyo walked forward with the camera in hand, her purple eyes curving into beautiful crescents, her eyes filled with joy.

Ye Hui followed and praised with a smile, "Well done, Sakura!"

He really should thank Sakura for letting him get such a great mission reward!

"hey-hey……"

Sakura scratched her head shyly, her cheeks slightly flushed. "It's all thanks to Tomoyo and Yoh reminding me to use the 'forceful' card."

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +18]

On the other side, Li Xiaolang helped Li Meiling to her feet and asked with concern, "Meiling, are you alright?"

"I'm fine..." Li Meiling said, her head down, her voice muffled.

Her gaze involuntarily drifted towards Sakura, a hint of complexity in her eyes.

Sakura noticed her gaze, paused, and quickly said, "Just now... just now it must have been because Meiling played with Touka for so long that it exhausted its stamina, which allowed me to take the opportunity to defeat it!"

However, Li Meiling didn't say anything provocative; instead, she lowered her head slightly.

"Um... thank you, Kinomoto, and... Hikaru."

Li Meiling's voice was so soft it was like a mosquito's hum; you could barely hear it unless you listened very carefully.

[Li Meiling's mood score +21]

"Huh? What did you say?" Sakura didn't hear clearly and subconsciously leaned forward.

“It’s nothing!” Li Meiling raised her head. “I mean, you guys are indeed quite capable! But from now on, Syaoran should still be the one to find the Clow Cards!”

After saying that, she skillfully wrapped her arms around Li Xiaolang's neck and buried her face in it.

Ye Hui almost burst out laughing while watching from the side.

Is being arrogant contagious?

Or is this just the Li family's genetic makeup?
But Li Xiaolang's older sisters don't seem to be like that.

There's also the Strawberry Bell pose.

All I can say is that she truly loves him.

"Alright, now that things are resolved, everyone should go home as soon as possible."

Ye Hui clapped his hands, breaking the slightly awkward atmosphere.

The group prepared to leave the penguin park.

Ye Hui's thoughts, however, had already drifted back to the reward he had just received.

—Divine Evolution…

Just as he was deep in thought, Li Meiling suddenly called out to him, "Ye Hui."

"Huh?" Ye Hui snapped out of his reverie and looked at her. "What is it?"

"You just said you're a cultivator?" Li Meiling asked.

Ye Hui blinked: "That's right."

"What is a cultivator?" Li Meiling asked, puzzled.

"To defy the heavens and pursue the Great Dao is to cultivate immortality."

He explained simply, "Li Xiaolang should have mentioned this to you before."

Li Meiling nodded.

Li Xiaolang did tell her that Ye Hui was a real cultivator.

But she had previously thought it was just another kind of Taoist technique.

It wasn't until I saw it with my own eyes today that I realized it's a completely different system from Taoist arts.

"So, does cultivating immortality require... magical power?" Li Meiling couldn't help but ask again.

Ye Hui nodded, then shook his head: "Cultivation requires spiritual power, which is not the same system as the magic power you know."

"Oh."

After hearing the question, Li Meiling fell silent again, seemingly lost in thought.

"Meiling, we should go back now. Uncle Wen is still worried about you." Li Xiaolang gently pulled Li Meiling's arm.

“Oh…” Li Meiling responded and obediently followed Li Xiaolang forward.

Before leaving, she couldn't help but turn back and take one last look at Ye Hui.

Ye Hui touched his chin.

Judging from the emotional value Meiling just gave, she seems to have developed an interest in cultivating immortality?

That's true, after all, she herself has no magic power and is not related to the Taoist arts of the Li family.

Now that you've suddenly come into contact with a new system of abilities, you'll definitely try every means to understand it.

And her wish may never have changed from beginning to end.

For example—follow in Li Xiaolang's footsteps.

Ye Hui watched Li Xiaolang and Li Meiling's departing figures, lost in thought.

"That really scared me to death!" Sakura patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief. "When I rushed at them with my wand, the card player lunged at me. I thought I was going to get attacked!"

Ye Hui looked at her with a smile: "With me here, I definitely won't let Xiaoying get hurt~"

Sakura nodded emphatically, revealing a soft smile: "Yeah, I know! It's because Ye-kun is here that I dared to rush up so directly."

Tomoyo's lips curved slightly upward as she softly said, "But I think even if Ye isn't here, Sakura will definitely go to save Meiling."

"Hehe..." Sakura touched her head shyly, her smile a little bashful.

Tomoyo turned to look at Ye Hui: "Thank goodness Ye Hui arrived in time, otherwise someone would definitely have gotten hurt today."

"Yes, it seems I'm still not strong enough. I must work harder!"

Sakura clenched her fists and said earnestly, a glint of light flashing in her dark green eyes.
