Another World: The Failed Magician

After finishing their lunch, Lu Xuan and Li Mengyu headed towards Qingfeng Garden, a famous garden in Qinghua County.

Before long, a verdant garden appeared before the two of them.

The two exchanged a glance and then walked into the garden.

As Lu Xuan stepped into the garden, a delicate fragrance wafted towards him. The path was lined with green phoenix flowers, and the clusters of phoenix flowers wove together to form a giant phoenix, standing in the very center of the garden, raising its noble head and looking down at the two of them.

Lu Xuan couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "As expected of the largest Azure Phoenix Flower Garden in the Eastern Dragon Empire."

Li Mengyu, standing to the side, was also immersed in the most beautiful scenery. The two strolled in the garden and slowly walked towards the phoenix with the Qingfeng flower in the center.

The two walked to the foot of the phoenix and couldn't help but marvel at the maker's exquisite artistry. Under the maker's hands, the phoenix seemed to come alive. Its wings, woven from flowers, swayed gently in the breeze, and every now and then, some petals fell, emitting an endless fragrance.

At this moment, Li Mengyu looked at Lu Xuan, who was standing beside her admiring the Qingfeng flower, her eyes filled with conflict.

Lu Xuan also felt Li Mengyu's gaze at this moment. He turned his head and their eyes met. Li Mengyu quickly turned her head away, wanting to say something, but she was a little embarrassed to speak.

Seeing this, Lu Xuan smiled and said, "Miss Li, is there anything I can help you with?"

“I’m so sorry (＞﹏＜), Mr. Lu, actually I lied to you! It wasn’t my master who sent me to find you, I’m so sorry!” Li Mengyu said with a look of apology in her eyes.

Lu Xuan looked at Li Mengyu, who had lowered her head and shrunk down, and it reminded him of the embarrassing scene when he was criticized by his teacher in his previous life.

Lu Xuan's lips curled slightly upward as he calmly said, "Yes. I understand."

Hearing Lu Xuan's calm tone, Li Mengyu dared to secretly raise her head and glance at him. When she saw the smile on Lu Xuan's face, she quickly lowered her head again and asked in a trembling voice, "Mr. Lu, you...you're not angry with me, even though I lied to you."

After she finished speaking, Li Mengyu was a little scared, but she still carefully raised her head to look at Lu Xuan.

In contrast, Lu Xuan smiled slightly and said softly, "It's alright. I already knew anyway." His tone was like soothing a frightened deer.

A hint of surprise flashed in Li Mengyu's frightened eyes: "Mr. Lu! When did you find out?"

Lu Xuan smiled and said in a joking tone, "I knew from the beginning. Has anyone ever told you that you're not really good at lying?"

Li Mengyu lowered her head shyly again. She seemed to be trying very hard to bury her head in her chest, but her physical condition didn't seem to allow it.

Seeing this, Lu Xuan did not interrupt her, but stood quietly to the side.

After a long while, seeing that Lu Xuan hadn't made a sound, Li Mengyu finally raised her head with difficulty and asked in a trembling voice, "Then... um, Mr. Lu... you really don't want to ask me anything?"

Lu Xuan smiled and said, "What do you want to ask you?"

Li Mengyu replied somewhat anxiously, "Well... well... for example, why did I lie to you? What was my purpose? And... and some other things too. d(?д??)"

Hearing these words, Lu Xuan still maintained a nonchalant expression and said, "It's alright, we'll talk about it after we've finished touring the garden."
