Another World: The Failed Magician

"Fine. If you don't want to talk about it, what else can I do?" Lu Xuan waved his hand and said.

"Alright, that's enough of my story. There are more important things to do now; figuring out how to deal with that demonic seed is the real issue." After saying that, Zhang Yu finished his cigarette.

“This is indeed a tricky matter,” Lu Xuan said as he walked back.

Just then, Lu Xuan asked as he walked, "So, I've heard your story. What is it that you want me to do? Tell me so I can think about it."

Zhang Yu stubbed out his cigarette and said, "You young people are so impatient. I'm not in a hurry to tell you now. You'll know when the time comes."

Hearing this, Lu Xuan didn't ask any more questions. The two of them walked slowly towards Qingxin Sword Sect, showing no sign that they were going to resolve any urgent matter.

When the two returned to Qingxin Sword Sect, Li Mingxu's body on the ground had already disappeared.

A black seed appeared where the corpse had been, surrounded by wisps of black mist.

Apart from that, there's nothing special about it.

However, the members of the Qingxin Sword Sect remained about ten meters away from the demon seed, and none of them dared to approach.

This was the first time Zhang Yu and Lu Xuan had truly seen the real appearance of this demonic seed.

“Uncle Zhang, Mr. Lu…” Li Mengyu, who was standing to the side, said after seeing the two of them.

Lu Xuan looked in the direction of the sound and saw Li Mengyu, who had already removed her veil. He felt a mix of emotions.

At this moment, Li Mengyu's eyes were a little red, and her lips were tightly pursed. It was clear that she was trying very hard not to cry.

But after all, she had just written him a farewell letter not long ago, and now they had bumped into each other at this awkward time. Lu Xuan simply nodded to Li Mengyu, but didn't say anything.

"Oh. It's Xiao Mengyu! I had to go out with Lu Xuan because I had a craving for a cigarette. Can you tell me what happened?" Zhang Yu asked.

After hearing Zhang Yu's words, Li Mengyu calmed herself down and said, "Just now, the teacher's body began to dissipate without warning. At that moment, everyone spread out to be on guard for what might happen next. After the teacher's body completely disappeared, it left behind that seed."

Li Mengyu struggled to say these words. She gently patted her chest with one hand, trying to calm herself down, but even so, her voice still trembled slightly.

After listening, Zhang Yu nodded and slowly walked towards Li Mengyu, saying, "Little Mengyu is great."

After speaking, Zhang Yu slowly walked towards the direction where the Qingxin Sword Sect members were gathered.

Li Mengyu's feelings were quite complicated at this moment. Her teacher had done bad things and received the retribution he deserved. She had also said that she would take care of her teacher herself. But when she actually saw Li Mingxu's body, she realized that she was not as strong as she thought.

She wanted to cry, but she felt she had no right to cry, after all, she had already learned about Li Mingxu and what had happened during this time from other people.

She felt that as a disciple of a sinner, she had no right to shed tears. But when Uncle Zhang Yu asked her about it, she didn't want him to worry, so she tried her best to calm herself down.

After glancing at Li Mengyu again, Lu Xuan chose to remain where he was, rather than go with Zhang Yu. In truth, how the demonic seed was dealt with was not of much concern to him. Furthermore, he didn't care how Zhang Yu and the Qingxin Sword Sect dealt with it.

Even Lu Xuan himself didn't know why things had turned out this way. Logically speaking, he should have left after confirming Li Mingxu's death.

No! If it were my old self, I wouldn't have gotten involved in something like this at all.

Even Lu Xuan had initially planned to go with Zhang Yu to listen to their discussion, just to join in the fun. But for some reason, he stopped in his tracks after seeing the girl's feigned calm figure.

But at that moment he didn't know what to say, so he simply remained silent.

At this moment, Li Mengyu felt a warm feeling in her heart. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Lu Xuan standing still. She wanted to go up and say something to Mr. Lu, but she didn't know how to start.

She left without saying goodbye first, not wanting Mr. Lu to get involved in such a dangerous matter because of her. But when she finally came out of seclusion and saw Lu Xuan, she was sure that she was happy at that moment.

The two stood there awkwardly, neither saying a word. Their gazes were fixed elsewhere, but both were subtly observing each other out of the corner of their eyes.

At this moment, Zhang Yu had already arrived in front of the Qingxin Sword Sect members who were currently surrounding the demonic seed. He asked the Grand Elder, "Elder Lin, how has your discussion gone? Have you decided how to deal with this demonic seed?"

After hearing Zhang Yu's words, everyone turned to look at him.

"Zhao Qingmei and I just tried, and even when we joined forces, we couldn't damage it in the slightest. So, we've been discussing for a long time about how to deal with this demonic seed, but we still can't come to a good conclusion. Chairman Zhang, do you have any good ideas?"

"That's simple. According to our guess, this demonic seed was created by the Prince of Zhennan and the Taixuan Sect, right? Just return it to them. Anyway, Li Mingxu, who poses the greatest threat to us, has already been dealt with. We've done everything we can, both morally and logically. Even if we wanted to get involved, we wouldn't have the ability to do anything else."

“But handing this over to those guys from the Tai Xuan Sect would be tantamount to aiding and abetting evil, wouldn’t it?” an elder from the Qingxin Sword Sect retorted.

"But we really don't have the ability to keep this thing. You should know the saying, 'A common man is innocent, but he is guilty of possessing a treasure.'"

After hearing Zhang Yu's words, everyone fell into deep thought.
