Another World: The Failed Magician

Inside a cave, two women and one man were sitting around a campfire. The three were the girl in white, Xia Yue, and Qin Ming.

Xia Yue looked at the lone figure standing outside the cave and said in a weak voice, "Mr. Lu, why don't we take turns keeping watch?"

"No need, you wounded should rest."

Lu Xuan stood at the entrance of the cave and responded to Xia Yue.

Lu Xuan stood in front of the cave, his eyes warily scanning the dark surroundings.

If you look closely, you'll see that the cave is surrounded by strange pebbles, some of which occasionally shimmer with a blue light.

Before long, these pebbles formed a regular magic circle around the cave.

After doing all this, Lu Xuan finally relaxed and gently sat down cross-legged in front of the cave.

The events that had happened before flashed through my mind.

After forcing the two elves to retreat, the four of them briefly explained their identities. As Lu Xuan had expected, Xia Yue and Tai Ming were members of the Salvation Society. However, when Lu Xuan asked why the elves were chasing them, they said they didn't know the reason either.

The girl in white claimed to be Li Mingxu's apprentice named Li Mengyu. According to her, her teacher sent her to help Xia Yue and the others.

Li Mengyu also brought them to this cave.

Upon hearing that the girl was Li Mingxu's apprentice, Lu Xuan naturally wanted to ask for more information. However, when Lu Xuan saw the girl covered in injuries and with blood still flowing from her ears, he couldn't bear to ask her any questions at this time. He decided to wait until Li Mengyu's injuries had healed before making any plans.

Just then, Li Mengyu, who had been resting inside the cave, came out and stood next to Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan also stood up and looked at the girl beside him. At this time, the girl's injuries had mostly recovered, and there was no more blood flowing from her ears. However, her white clothes were slightly torn due to the battle, and there were a few inconspicuous scars on her white hands.

Lu Xuan spoke first, "Miss Li, is there something you need?"

Upon hearing the words, Li Mengyu's fair hands emerged, holding a miniature wooden sword.

She said in her melodious voice, "This is for you."

Just as Lu Xuan was about to refuse.

Lu Xuan hadn't spoken yet.

As if knowing Lu Xuan would refuse, Li Mengyu spoke first, saying, "Thank you for the medicine before, this is to express my gratitude."

Lu Xuan looked at Li Mengyu with a hint of expectation in her clear eyes.

Lu Xuan couldn't stand the look in Li Mengyu's eyes and took the wooden sword from her.

After seeing that Lu Xuan had accepted her gift, Li Mengyu walked back into the cave with a satisfied look in her eyes.

This left Lu Xuan, who was about to ask the girl for some information, in an awkward position.

At that moment, a blue-haired boy walked out of the cave and gently patted Lu Xuan on the shoulder.

Lu Xuan looked at Qin Ming, who had come out, with some confusion.

Qin Ming pointed somewhat awkwardly into the cave and said, "Miss Li said there's a hot spring inside the cave, and they're planning to go there, so naturally I have to avoid it."

Lu Xuan nodded and continued to sit cross-legged beside the cave entrance.

Qin Ming patted Lu Xuan on the shoulder again.

Lu Xuan looked at him with a puzzled expression.

Qin Ming said somewhat awkwardly, "They asked you to seal an ice wall at the entrance of the cave for them."

Although Lu Xuan could understand the two girls' actions, he still felt a little regretful.

"Ugh!"

Lu Xuan sighed inwardly and snapped his fingers weakly.

An ice wall appeared at the cave entrance, blocking the view.
