Another World: The Failed Magician

The sun slowly rose from the east in the early morning. Lu Xuan, who had been anxiously waiting by the cave entrance, breathed a sigh of relief; the latter half of the night had been peaceful.

Qin Ming rubbed his eyes, slowly stood up, and said to Lu Xuan with a sleepy look, "Good morning, Mr. Lu."

Lu Xuan nodded at him.

A short while later, a girl who had changed into a brand new white dress and was still wearing a veil walked out of the cave like a fairy from a fairyland, and a tall girl in a red warrior outfit with a high ponytail.

The two were Li Mengyu and Xia Yue.

Xia Yue walked to Qin Ming's side and thanked Li Mengyu and Lu Xuan: "Thank you both for saving my life last night. If you need any help, please let us know and we will do our best to assist you."

Looking at the two of them, Lu Xuan asked, "What are your plans?"

Xia Yue replied, "We are members of the Salvation Society. For some reason, the elves have set their sights on the Salvation Society. We want to go back and see if there's anything we can do to help."

Lu Xuan was not surprised by Xia Yue's answer.

Lu Xuan looked at the two with a serious expression and said, "The situation in the Eastern Dragon Empire is currently chaotic, with various forces mixed together. My suggestion is to take this opportunity to withdraw and return to the Loca Federation. To put it bluntly, you are still too weak. If you continue to stay here, the outcome will likely be destruction. I advise you to think carefully before making a decision."

Qin Ming was somewhat angry upon hearing this, while Xia Yue, standing beside him, appeared quite calm and slowly said, "Mr. Lu, what you said does make sense, but the president and the others are still in the Eastern Dragon Empire. We can't abandon them and leave alone. As for whether to stay here or go to the Loca Federation, we'll have to decide after we reunite with the president."

Lu Xuan nodded and then fell silent.

After thanking Li Mengyu a few more times, the two said goodbye and left. Before they left, Li Mengyu gave them two wooden swords, saying that they could protect them in case of danger.

Although Qin Ming and Xia Yue repeatedly said they didn't need them, they couldn't resist Li Mengyu's sincere gaze and finally accepted the two wooden swords. After expressing their gratitude again, the two slowly left.

After confirming that the two had left, Lu Xuan and Li Mengyu walked into the cave without saying a word, as if in tacit agreement.

Lu Xuan found a stone bench and sat down. Seeing this, Li Mengyu also sat down opposite Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan spoke first, "Miss Li, I wonder what instructions your master gave you? If it's convenient, could you tell me?"

Li Mengyu nodded and slowly spoke in her melodious voice: "Some time ago, my master asked me to go to the Qingxin Sword Sect to cultivate for a period of time. After I finished my cultivation, I returned to the Sword Forging Manor and found that the manor had been destroyed and was in a mess. Then I stayed in this cave alone for a few days to investigate the things in the manor. Later, my master found me and told me that a few days later, a person from the Loca Federation named Lu Xuan would come and asked me to find him and protect him."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xuan showed a puzzled expression.

Just then, Li Mengyu took out a crystal that captured the image of Lu Xuan.

Seeing that Lu Xuan didn't speak, Li Mengyu continued, "Then yesterday I happened to hear the sounds of fighting in the mountains and saw Xia Yue and the others being chased, so I went to help them and that's when I ran into you."

Hearing this incredibly coincidental story, Lu Xuan felt suspicious, but looking into Li Mengyu's clear eyes, he felt that she wasn't lying.

Lu Xuan asked, "Where is your teacher now? Can you contact him?"

Li Mengyu shook her head: "The teacher left after explaining things to me, without telling me how to contact him."
