The beautiful mage was kidnapped by the contracted beast again

Three days later.

Jiang Liujing finished his audit course at the Fire Academy, stood up and sincerely thanked Mo Jun, the alchemy teacher.

He hadn't actually thought about attending classes at the Fire Academy at first, until he heard that the alchemy course was only offered at the Fire Academy. After all, one of the most important elements in alchemy was fire.

Fortunately, the teachers in the Fire Academy were not dissatisfied with his behavior of picking and choosing classes, especially Teacher Mo Jun, who was particularly kind to Jiang Liujing and taught him without reservation, which made his classmates call him partial.

Jiang Liujing had been studying alchemy for three and a half years, and had made some progress. A while ago, he excitedly told Chi that once he figured it out, he'd upgrade his axe. However, Chi ruthlessly rebuked him, saying it would be faster for him to fight himself.

Teacher Mo Jun looks like a very kind middle-aged man. He has a calm and gentle personality, which is extremely rare in the Fire Academy. He has been working there for more than 30 years and has won the honor of "The Most Popular Teacher in the Fire Academy" every year.

Today, seeing Jiang Liujing leave as soon as get out of class was over, instead of pestering him with questions like he usually did, he was a little surprised: "What's the urgent matter today? Why are you leaving so early?"

Jiang Liujing stopped and replied, "There's an event outside the school."

Teacher Mo Jun understood instantly: "Is it that auction? Also, that young man from the Gu family is close to you, he will definitely invite you."

Jiang Liujing thought to himself that this auction was really not simple. Even Teacher Mo Jun, who never paid attention to these things, knew about it.

"Go ahead, go ahead. I won't keep you here if you have something urgent to do. Don't forget to do your homework today."

"I understand, teacher!" Jiang Liujing waved his hand and left quickly.

Mo Jun looked at his back and shook his head helplessly. He moved his gaze to the high sky outside and let out a long sigh, as if he was feeling emotional and at a loss.

"Young man..."

"So much like you."

He opened the thick lesson plan, his eyes lowered with longing, looking at the female figure on the paper, which had been hand-drawn thousands of times and every detail was vivid and lifelike.

All the vows of love, romance, and love cannot withstand the distance between life and death.

He stroked the woman's face.

"Ayue..."

"One day..."

-

When Jiang Liujing arrived at the school gate, almost everyone was already there.

What this sentence means is that what should be there is there, and what shouldn’t be there is also there.

He looked at Wen Xun, who was fighting with Ajin for some unknown reason, and the veins on his forehead twitched uncontrollably.

"Why are you four here too?"

"I was invited." Wen Xun took the time to reply him in his busy schedule, but the next second he was punched hard to the ground by Ajin, and he let out a gasp of "Fuck".

Ajin didn't give up yet. He picked him up and threw him from right to left, and then from left to right... His movements reminded Jiang Liujing of the bosses in restaurants throwing and kneading dough.

Finally, he smashed it out easily, knocking away the two unlucky guys, Mo Ya and Liu An, who were watching the fun on the side.

"Ahhhh-"

The two earth-shaking screams successfully attracted the attention of the passing students.

Jiang Liujing, who inexplicably became the focus again: "..."

It's a bit embarrassing.

I don't really want to know them.

Chu Zhou had consciously stood far away before the fight broke out, and now he was the only survivor among the four. He acted as the official spokesperson and explained the reason to Jiang Liujing:

"Gu Lian approached us a couple of days ago and asked if anyone wanted to be his bodyguard. The time would be during the auction you were going to, and the reward would be the auction tickets."

"You agreed?"

"Wen Xun originally wanted to go, but he found out too late and the tickets were sold out. Now that he has this opportunity, there's no way he would refuse." Chu Zhou sighed.

He himself has no preference for activities like auctions. He only feels that money is worthless there.

His situation is different from Wen Xun's.

Although they both came from aristocratic families, Wen Xun had his own personal property since he was a child, which continuously added gold coins to his account.

Chu Zhou didn't have any. The living expenses he brought were enough for him to live comfortably, but it was impossible for him to spend lavishly on things.

Mo Ya and Liu An were even more worthy. Over the past seven years, they had earned some gold coins by taking on training missions. But these coins were far from enough to change their social status. Simply buying a useful staff or robe would empty their wallets.

"But I think finding a bodyguard is just a cover. With a phantom beast like you, why would Gu Lian need a bodyguard?" Chu Zhou shrugged.

Jiang Liujing thought to himself that this was not necessarily the case.

The person Gu Lian was guarding against might be Ajin.

After all, when a man is beaten, there is usually some logic behind it, but Ajin basically does it all based on his mood. If he is not happy with you, even the most powerful person will get beaten.

Chi said that this was the reason why bringing Ajin along was troublesome.

As for why he chose these four who were obviously no match for Jin...

Jiang Liujing glanced at the three people who were still huddled together and unable to get up, and silently lit a candle for them.

In terms of hatred ranking, apart from Chi, these four are the ones who are closest to Jiang Liujing, so they have become Ajin's top targets.

When they and Gu Lian appeared in the same space at the same time, Gu Lian would never be the first to be hit. How could this not be considered a form of "protection"?

Jiang Liujing walked to the side of Chi, and Chi made way for him, revealing two luxurious carriages pulled by four-winged Pegasus parked behind them.

Two elderly men in neat uniforms and gray hair sat in their seats, closing their eyes and oblivious to the fight happening before their eyes.

Despite their age, they still possessed a powerful aura. This was a testament to the strength of their magical powers, allowing them to maintain their high-speed functioning even as their organs aged.

Only after Jiang Liujing came over did the two finally open their eyes.

One of them asked him, "Everyone is here, shall we set off?"

Jiang Liujing shook his head and clapped his hands again.

Suddenly, a black shadow and a white shadow shot out from the horizon, like two meteors streaking across the sky. With distinct chirping sounds, they landed on Jiang Liujing's left and right sides.

Jiang Liujing touched the heads of the two birds with one hand each and smiled at the two old men: "Now we are all together, we can set off."
