Another World: The Failed Magician

Seeing that Lu Xuan was about to leave, Dean White said, "Don't be in such a hurry. I didn't call you here today to talk about this. Caster, bring two more cups of Dragon Tongue." As the dean finished speaking, Lu Xuan sat back down. With the arrival of the two cups of Dragon Tongue, Dean White picked up one, drank it down, moistened his throat, and said, "I called you here today mainly to give you a task."

Lu Xuan also picked up the Fire Dragon Tongue and took a sip: "Dean! Anyway, you have such a wide network of connections, there's no need to call me if there's anything."

Dean White continued as if he hadn't heard Lu Xuan's words: "This mission is simple. You go to the Eastern Dragon Empire and bring someone back, and that's it. Isn't that easy?"

Lu Xuan sighed helplessly and said, "My dear Dean! Why don't you find someone else? I really don't want to move. Besides, didn't you go to the Eastern Dragon Empire yourself a while ago? If you wanted to bring someone back, why didn't you bring them back yourself?"

Dean White continued, still drinking, "Isn't there a special reason? Our schedules just didn't align. And you really don't want to go?"

Although Lu Xuan was somewhat puzzled as to why the dean let him off so easily today, he nodded and said, "Dean, you know me. I'd rather lie down than stand up. Why would I be willing to go to the Eastern Dragon Empire to find someone for you?"

Dean White finished the remaining Fire Dragon Tongue in his cup in one gulp: "That's a pity. I finally managed to get a top-grade musket from Delos. I was even saying that if you were willing to take on this mission, I would give you this top-grade musket. Since you're not willing, I'll just have to leave this mission at the Adventurers' Guild!" After saying that, Dean White prepared to get up and leave the tavern.

"No!" Lu Xuan stood up and stopped Dean White, who was about to leave.

Then Lu Xuan said with a serious expression, "Dean, I'm suddenly not tired anymore. I really want to take on this mission. Seriously. Besides, you have to go through procedures at the Adventurers' Guild and wait for someone to accept the mission. This whole process is too cumbersome. Why don't I just go directly? Why are you being so formal with me!"

Dean White said with a mischievous grin, "I really didn't force you! You wanted to go yourself."

"Of course! I'd go through fire and water for the dean's request!" Lu Xuan replied with a smile.

After hearing Lu Xuan's words, Dean White sat back down at the table. Seeing the dean sit down again, Lu Xuan also sat down.

After sitting down, Dean White adopted a serious expression and said, "The situation in the Eastern Dragon Empire is very unstable right now. The current emperor is bedridden, and the crown prince's rule has aroused public dissatisfaction. Things are in complete chaos there. I need you to go to the Sword Forging Manor and find the manor lord, Li Mingxu. He will tell you who you need to take away."

Lu Xuan nodded: "I understand. When do we depart?"

"Go back and prepare as soon as possible, preferably tomorrow." As he spoke, the dean handed Lu Xuan a token engraved with the three large characters "Fulongzhi Academy" as a token.

"Okay! But what will happen to Mo Yun after I leave?"

"Didn't you come up with Mo Yun's cultivation plan? Just give it to me and let her cultivate on her own."

"Alright! I'll go back first and get ready. We'll leave first thing tomorrow morning." After saying that, Lu Xuan took a booklet from his spatial ring, handed it to the dean, and then walked out of the tavern.
