Another World: The Failed Magician

The sun had just risen in the early morning.

Lu Xuan naturally opened his eyes.

Lu Xuan stretched, he hadn't slept as comfortably as he had yesterday in a long time.

After finally seeing Li Mengyu off yesterday, he went to bed and fell asleep. Lying in bed, he felt a warm feeling in his heart, as if his headache and nightmares had disappeared.

As soon as Lu Xuan finished washing up and getting dressed, he pushed open the door and a small figure pounced on his feet.

Lu Xuan smiled and picked up the kitten.

"Mimi!"

Li Mengyu walked over from not far away.

Upon hearing this, the kitten immediately looked at Li Mengyu. As soon as it saw the food in Li Mengyu's hand, it abandoned Lu Xuan and ran to Li Mengyu's feet in a flash.

Li Mengyu smiled and handed the food to the little guy.

The kitten immediately buried its head and ignored the two of them.

Lu Xuan also walked up with a smile.

"Mimi?"

"Isn't it nice? I named it!"

Li Mengyu had an expression that said, "Praise me!"

Lu Xuan smiled and said, "It sounds nice."

This little kitten has actually been raised at the academy for a long time, but neither Lu Xuan nor White have given it a name.

Li Mengyu had actually wanted to name the little guy for a long time, but she had been busy with other things. Just when she finally had some peace and quiet, Lu Xuan acted up again.

So after the two finished talking last night, Li Mengyu immediately named the kitten.

"Shouldn't you be practicing swordsmanship with Rhodes right now?"

According to past experience.

Li Mengyu should have gone to the sword with Rod at this time.

"Rhodes is spending time with Charlotte today; they both went out early this morning."

Lu Xuan's lips curled up slightly after hearing this.

"Really? I have a feeling you've been scammed?"

"Am I being lied to?"

Li Mengyu looked at Lu Xuan with a puzzled expression.

She didn't quite understand what Lu Xuan meant.

Lu Xuan smiled faintly and wasn't in a hurry to answer Li Mengyu's questions.

Lu Xuan snapped his fingers.

A breeze blew.

Suddenly, a rustling sound came from the woods behind them.

A pale green light screen suddenly appeared.

Then a gentle breeze blew by, and with a snap, the light screen shattered.

Rhodes, Charlotte, and Mo Yun appeared behind the light screen.

The three could only laugh awkwardly when their disguise was exposed.

"this…"

Li Mengyu looked at the three people and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Before Li Mengyu could organize her thoughts...

"You guys continue."

With that, Charlotte grabbed the two of them and quickly fled the scene.

Charlotte sent Li Mengyu a "Go for it!" emoji as she ran.

Li Mengyu's cheeks visibly flushed after hearing Charlotte's words.

Don't be fooled by her boldness yesterday; it was only because no one else was around.

Although the two hadn't been particularly intimate, Li Mengyu blushed even more when she thought about Charlotte's expression as she left.

Lu Xuan smiled and walked up.

Looking at Li Mengyu's flushed cheeks, Lu Xuan finally couldn't suppress his thoughts.

Lu Xuan reached out his right hand and pinched Li Mengyu's cheek.

There was a snap.

Li Mengyu quickly slapped Lu Xuan's right hand down.

"What?!" (??v?v??)

Li Mengyu looked at Lu Xuan with a cute but fierce expression.

But after seeing the other person looking at her with a smile, Li Mengyu immediately turned her head away after a few seconds of eye contact.

"What's wrong? Have you forgotten what happened last night? Sigh! People really do change."

Lu Xuan said this in a feigned sorrowful tone.

Li Mengyu turned away, seemingly ignoring Lu Xuan.

"Sigh! I only said a few extra words, and you react like this. I'm afraid you're thinking about someone else. I understand, I understand everything."

Hearing Lu Xuan's aggrieved yet smug tone, Li Mengyu couldn't hold back any longer.

Li Mengyu turned around.

She saw Lu Xuan looking at her with a smile, and her anger flared up even more.

She stomped hard on Lu Xuan's right foot.

"what!"

Lu Xuan let out an exaggerated shout.

Li Mengyu noticed Lu Xuan's embarrassed expression, and although she knew it was an act, it still made her feel much better.

"Stop pretending, let's go, let's go have breakfast."

With that, Li Mengyu walked forward.

"Good Le!"

Lu Xuan smiled and followed.

……

In a remote mountain forest within the Eastern Dragon Empire.

An old man sat on a wooden stool in front of a simple wooden house. His eyes were closed. There was a stone table in front of him and an empty wooden stool opposite him.

The old man looked as if he was waiting for something.

Then came a series of strong footsteps.

The old man then opened his eyes.

After recognizing the newcomer, a fleeting, indescribable emotion flashed in his cloudy eyes.

The old man spoke first.

"I never thought I would see you again in my lifetime."

But there was no surprise in the old man's tone.

Zhao Huai didn't pay any attention and walked straight over.

"I don't see any sign that you're surprised."

As he spoke, Zhao Huai sat down on the empty wooden bench.

"It's been so long since we last met, and you don't even have anything to offer me?"

The old man shrugged.

"You're already the emperor, what haven't you seen? I won't embarrass myself in front of you."

Why did you leave without saying goodbye back then?

Upon hearing this, the old man suddenly burst into laughter.

"Hahaha! Zhao Huai! I think you're really getting old. How could you even ask such a question?"

But the old man quickly calmed down.

"I understand the saying 'when the birds are all gone, the good bow is put away.' I advised them to leave, but they refused. And just as I expected, they all died at your hands. Hahaha!"

As I was talking, I started laughing again.

They completely disregarded Zhao Huai, the emperor.

Zhao Huai remained calm, completely unconcerned about the other party's behavior.

"You deliberately revealed your location."

"If I don't expose myself, how will you find me?"

The old man looked at Zhao Huai with a smile.

Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?

"You won't do that."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Huai fell silent.

"Are you so sure? Zu Long is already dead. Do you really think I need you that much?"

“If you wanted to kill me, you wouldn’t have come in person.”

As he spoke, the old man stood up.

The old man walked up to Zhao Huai.

An old hand patted his shoulder.

"Don't I know you? There's no need to pretend. If I didn't know your days were numbered, I wouldn't have revealed my location."

Zhao Huai looked at the old man with a complicated expression.

The old man was right. From his powerful strides at the beginning to his calm sitting here now, it was all to mislead the old man in front of him.

"As expected, you're still as smart as ever. You knew I'd come to see you today."

The old man nodded.

"I kind of regret letting you go back then."

"Do you regret not killing me back then? Or do you regret not keeping me in the palace?"

"All."

"Don't be silly, Zhao Huai, you're too narrow-minded to tolerate me. If we do it again, the result will be the same."

Zhao Huai did not refute, but instead asked.

What will the future of Donglong look like?

The old man shook his head.

"The secret cannot be leaked."

"Is it that heavenly secrets cannot be revealed, or is it that you simply cannot see through them?"

As he spoke, Zhao Huaiyi stood up, looking at the old man's aged face, trying to discern something from it.

However, the old man's expression did not change at all.

Zhao Huai silently sat back down on the wooden chair.

There was silence for a long time.

Zhao Huai managed to squeeze out two words.

"Let's go!"
