Starting with magical girls, I'll reign supreme for eternity.

Chapter 24 Tripartite Talks
In the dark, secret outpost of the Qingyun Sect.

There was no light, only the reflection in the mirror, where the tender green four-leaf clover stood out, constantly spinning in the mirror.

A melodious voice drifted over: "The aura of the Witch's Guild is still just as nauseating..."

On the other side, a childish and lively voice came, "Sister Clover, we've spotted the Disaster Management Bureau."

"Activate the Illusionary Moon Array to interfere with their observations."

"Sister, which Illusionary Moon Formation is it?"

"Idiot, didn't the sect leader name the fifth of the barrier leaves the Illusionary Moon Formation before?!"

"No, sister, the sect leader clearly said it was the Qiankun Bagua Illusion Moon Formation."

"Aren't they all the same?"

"The Sect Master said that the prefixes make a big difference; the Qiankun Bagua Illusion Moon Formation is..."

"Alright, alright, I understand, Liu Ye. Quickly activate the Qiankun Illusion Moon Formation."

"It's the Eight Trigrams of Qian and Kun..."

"Six Leaves!" The ethereal voice carried a hint of embarrassment and annoyance.

"It was clearly the Sect Master who said it..." The lively voice sounded somewhat aggrieved, and then countless leaf veins began to cover the mirror, obscuring the four-leaf clover. "Third, second, first, mediocre work, a mirage that blinds the eye with a leaf."

Fifthly, a masterpiece, a mirage.

"It's too slow to unfold it from the front every time..." The ethereal voice complained softly before immediately gathering the four-leaf clover in the mirror. "They're here. It's the Disaster Management Bureau."

Countless eyes opened from the mirror, and each pair of eyes was covered by a leaf as it opened.

As more and more eyes appeared, and leaves covered the mirror, the number of leaves on the mirror gradually decreased until the entire mirror was clean, revealing a tightly closed eye.

Then he suddenly opened his eyes! He wanted to take in everything here!
"As expected of the magic auntie from the Disaster Management Bureau, she's really amazing to have broken through to this level."

"Liuye, don't be so rude, you should call her Aunt Magic."

"Oh, Aunt Magic's eyes are really useful, but it's a pity that Six Leaves' Mirror Flower Water Moon is even more perfect."

Then, a leaf gently drifted down from the air and landed in the pupil of the mirror. The pupil rippled like the surface of water, and the veins of the leaf appeared in concentric circles.

It was as if I had been hypnotized.

Then the wide-open eye slowly closed and disappeared completely from the mirror.

The four-leaf clover reappeared on the mirror. "Finally, I can investigate the Witch Society. They've been such a nuisance, the Disaster Management Bureau..."

"They'll only hold us back."

A faint, ethereal voice said, "Turn over the four-leaf clover's fate card."

The spinning four-leaf clover reflected in the mirror the lame man who had received the seed of lamentation. Even as the four-leaf clover spun counterclockwise, a woman dressed in a black robe, concealing her figure, appeared.

They caught the moment when the other party took out the Seed of Sorrow and handed it to the cripple.

"Divination, first hexagram, name."

The first leaf unfolds, revealing a cuckoo.

"Deduction, the second hexagram, identity."

The second leaf unfolds, "Magical Girl."

“Deduction, the third hexagram, position.”

The third leaf...

The moment it was opened, it suddenly burst into flames!
The remaining leaves withered and fell together, and the ethereal voice let out a short, painful cry.

"Sister, sister, are you alright?"

"It's alright. The Witch Society discovered us. That Aunt Dujuan is probably a core member of the Witch Society. Why would she find the Sect Master?"

"The barrier leaves on the Sect Master and Lord Bing Tang have not disappeared yet; it must just be a coincidence."

"No, it might be the sect leader's sister. They've got their eyes on Coco."

"We must inform Lord Bing Tang immediately!"

……

Disaster Management Bureau, Divination Room.

The blue magical girl, who had been sitting upright in front of the chopping board wearing glasses, suddenly slammed her head against the chopping board.

Yinluo, who was grading documents nearby, was startled and immediately put down her pen. She went over and shook the blue magical girl. "Peony, Peony? Why are you asleep again?"

It took the blue-clad magical girl a long time to finally manage to get up from the table. After fumbling around for a while, she finally found her glasses, put them on with difficulty, and then, gasping for breath, rubbed her forehead. "Those two wretched little girls! I'll catch them sooner or later!"

Yinlu breathed a sigh of relief and sat back down in her seat. "It seems like you've never won even once?"

"Two against one is inherently unfair. I'm the only one in the BH City Disaster Management Bureau with this kind of investigative ability, so it's bound to be difficult. If I borrow a reconnaissance-type magical girl from next door to cooperate, I'll definitely take them down!"

After reverting to her transformed state, the blue magical girl revealed a youthful and beautiful appearance. She wasn't actually that old, only in her early twenties, but with her glasses and stern face, she resembled a mature homeroom teacher.

Peony's job is indeed that of a teacher.

"How dare they call me 'Auntie' and 'Grandma'!" Peony slammed her fist on the table, gritting her teeth. "When I catch them, I'll give them a good spanking! Students won't learn if they're not disciplined!"

Yinlu smiled helplessly, "Alright, so how are you going to explain this to Yinlian? The task she gave you was to find the members of the Witch's Guild, but you ended up getting into trouble with the Qingyun Sect again."

There's nothing we can do about it.

Peony looked dejected. "I've searched everywhere, but I haven't seen anyone from the Witch's Guild. But those two girls are too conspicuous. I was thinking that if I could capture them, I might be able to find the Witch's Guild through the clues."

"I think you're just looking to settle a personal score," Yinlu said, somewhat speechless. "Yinlian will definitely be angry; she won't be lenient with you on this matter."

At this point, Peony, as the teacher, immediately looked even more distressed. Although Yinlian was the student and Peony was the teacher at school, Yinlian still respected her teachers, even though they weren't from the same school.

However, once she joined the Disaster Management Bureau, Ginren became the captain of the Magical Girl Squad, wielding absolute power to reward and punish its members.

If she didn't complete the task properly, she would have her salary deducted, and she wouldn't be able to escape even writing a self-criticism.

When Yinlian gets serious, even her seniors are quite afraid of her.

"Please, Yinluo, please put in a good word for me. She's your sister; she'll listen to you eventually..."

"Don't look for me. When she gets angry, she won't treat me like her older sister."

"Why is this..."

Yinluo paused for a moment, then asked, "So, have you found any clues?"

Peony also straightened her expression. "No, the Witch Society is as vigilant as ever in this regard, making it very difficult to find anything. The two girls from the Qingyun Sect have special abilities and might be able to find some clues, but they will probably get injured. I hope they don't force it; the Witch Society's methods are too insidious."

"You should worry about the Witch Society more than the Qingyun Sect."

Yinluo immediately laughed, "Do you know how many members of the Witch Society the Qingyun Sect has killed over the years? So far, only one member of the Qingyun Sect has fallen into the Witch Society. The casualty ratio between the two sides is not on the same level, so there is nothing to worry about."

“I am a teacher.” Peony snorted. “It doesn’t matter how many people from the Witch Society die, but those two girls from the Qingyun Sect have great potential and are not bad-hearted. Over the years, at most they’ve only let me take a nap, and they’ve never killed me. I definitely can’t bear to see anything happen to them.”

"Don't have too many illusions about the Qingyun Sect," Yinluo said in a deep voice. "You know better than I what their sect leader, Ziyuan, has done."

Peony's expression was also a little unpleasant, and then she shook her head, "I know, don't worry, I'm just worried about those two brats. I don't know the others in the Qingyun Sect, and they have nothing to do with me. Let whoever wants to arrest them can arrest them, I can't control that. But those two girls, I have to deal with them myself and give them a good spanking to vent my anger!"

Yinluo didn't respond to her words, but stared at the documents in her hand, lost in thought, seemingly pondering something.

……

Opening her eyes in the darkness, Dujuan touched the scars on her face.

He let out a surprised "Eh."

"It actually failed?"

He muttered to himself, somewhat incredulously.

The lame man obtained a considerable amount of power from the Seed of Lamentation; even if it was only a semi-finished product, it was still far beyond what an ordinary person could handle.

That's power that rivals that of a budding magical girl.

He tentatively opened the crystal ball, hoping to trace back and find out what had happened.

But something was clearly interfering with her recollection. The veins of the leaves covered the crystal ball, making it impossible to see what had happened. She could only vaguely see the cripple being knocked to the ground.

Does Jiang Si possess interference magic similar to that of the Disaster Management Bureau's magical girls?
Perhaps these are safety measures specifically prepared by the Disaster Management Bureau for new magical girls. After all, the Witch Association has often targeted the families of new magical girls in the past, so it's normal to have preventative measures.

Just as she was deep in thought, the crystal ball in her hand suddenly lit up, and the veins that had covered the leaves disappeared, revealing the captain's face. "What are you doing! Du Juan, the people from the Qingyun Sect have already found your name. If I hadn't stopped you in time, your location would have been exposed! Do you want to die?!"

Du Juan was also stunned by the scolding, and then frowned, "How is that possible? I didn't even notice."

"By the time you realize it, it'll be too late! The Disaster Management Bureau and the Qingyun Sect have swept through your area twice. Peony from the Disaster Management Bureau is manageable, as her reconnaissance abilities are limited. But the people from the Qingyun Sect—if you're not careful, everything will be exposed. I've warned you countless times! Be careful! This is Qingyun Sect territory!"

Du Juan was scolded until her face turned red and her neck bulged. She wanted to refute him, but she couldn't find any reason to do so.

After all, if the captain hadn't intervened, she might have really been in trouble.

She was completely absorbed in the battle between the cripple and Jiang Si from beginning to end, and had no idea that the Disaster Prevention Bureau and the Qingyun Sect were already investigating her.

"Has Jiang Si been caught?"

When the captain asked again, Du Juan was also a little embarrassed: "It's almost done. We sent a half-finished product to capture him before, but it failed. It's probably because the half-finished product was unstable and caused itself to collapse."

She said confidently, "That half-finished product was indeed my mistake. I forgot to conceal it. I originally thought I could capture Jiang Si quickly, but not this time. I will take action personally and carefully conceal my presence so that they can't detect me. I will capture Jiang Si as quickly as possible! There will be absolutely no mistakes!"

The captain's expression softened slightly. "I always trusted you the most when it came to handling things, but you were really too careless this time. Be more careful."

"Got it, Captain."

Then Du Juan added, "However, I tried to trace the battle between Jiang Si and my unfinished disaster beast, but I was interfered with. Perhaps the Disaster Strategy Bureau had placed magic on him in advance to prevent us from taking action."

Du Juan analyzed the information she had obtained and made a judgment, "It seems that the Disaster Management Bureau attaches great importance to the new magical girl this time. Not only did they conduct reconnaissance immediately, but they also took precautions to protect Jiang Si in advance. If they capture Jiang Si, threaten that new magical girl, or even drag her into the Witch Association, the Disaster Management Bureau will probably be in a very difficult situation, hehehe."

“Not bad,” the captain said with satisfaction. “Recently, Oleander’s progress over there hasn’t been going very well. Our Disaster Beast will take some time to be born. Right now, the Disaster Management Bureau’s attention is all focused on the Miracle Seed, so it’s difficult for her to act. If your plan succeeds, the Disaster Management Bureau’s attention will shift, and it will be easier for Oleander to act.”

"Heh, I think oleander is a bit unreliable. Is it that she can't get it out, or that she doesn't want to?" the woman said with a sinister look. "If she can't bring out the miracle seed this time, I suggest we cripple her."

“Since being hunted down by the Qingyun Sect, it has become increasingly difficult to find new people. Oleander’s motives are very credible, and I don’t think there is any need to doubt them.”

The captain also said in a deep voice, "Moreover, missions are becoming increasingly difficult to carry out. Every time we face attacks from both the Disaster Management Bureau and the Qingyun Sect. Especially the Qingyun Sect, even you almost failed. We don't have enough manpower to begin with, so it's better to avoid internal strife, Dujuan."

"Do as you please, just don't get angry and take it out on me after being deceived by the oleander. But the fact that the Qingyun Sect reacted so quickly to divine my name suggests that they might also be keeping an eye on Jiang Si."

The captain paused, seemingly surprised. "Really? Why would the Qingyun Sect care about him? The Qingyun Sect only cares about magical girls. He's a man, isn't he?"

Du Juan sneered, "This is the first time a new magical girl has been taken away by the Disaster Management Bureau. Given the petty nature of the Qingyun Sect, they will definitely seek revenge. They might even be thinking of kidnapping Jiang Si and then forcing that new magical girl to join the Qingyun Sect."

The captain nodded with a look of realization. "Very likely. No wonder they found you so quickly. The Qingyun Sect is indeed no good either. Using the same methods as us, they even dare to criticize our Witch Society with righteous indignation. They're really newcomers."

"In short, we need to strike before they do. Jiang Keke, that new magical girl, only has her brother left in her family. The two of them have relied on each other for so many years, so she must value her highly. As long as we capture Jiang Si, she'll walk right into our trap, hehehe..."

After the captain left and the crystal dimmed, Dujuan emerged from the wall again; it was already late.

After thinking for a moment, he turned around and took a seed out of the wall.

The seeds were black and rotten.

Although I haven't used it in a long time, I don't feel like I need it.

But it's always good to be safe just in case.
