"I'll... find a sunny spot to gather some herbs, practice some magic, and maybe let my two sisters soak up some sun too," Borist replied honestly.

Upon hearing that Boruister wasn't going to study but rather to take his two younger sisters out to play, Hu Xiaohai felt it was inappropriate to disturb him further: "Oh, really? Then I won't..."

“Then I’ll go with you,” Heledi suddenly spoke, looking at Borist with a defiant gaze. “You won’t disagree, will you?”

"What's gotten into this kid all of a sudden?!" Hu Xiaohai cursed inwardly, then said to Hailedi, "Don't you think this is rather impolite? Hailedi, what if Father and Mother found out about this coroner's affair..."

“I already spoke with my father today, and I’ve come to challenge Borist to another duel.” Heledi didn’t even spare a glance for “Haikal.” “He’s already agreed to let me do this; otherwise, why would I be here in a carriage with you?”

"Hahahaha—so, what are your thoughts, Borist?" Hu Xiaohai resisted the urge to spill his tea on Hailey and began to ask Borist's opinion. If Borist refused, then Hailey would have no reason to stubbornly follow him, and he could rightfully take Hailey away.

Borest listened and also noticed the butler's gaze.

The butler's meaning was clear: Black Cassie was forcing Borest to grant Heledi's outrageous request.

Borist lowered his eyelids, remained silent for a while, and realized that avoiding Heledi wasn't a solution, so he agreed—he felt it was necessary to understand why Heledi was so intent on killing him.

Upon hearing this, Hu Xiaohai, though confused as to why Borist hadn't rejected Hailey, could only shamelessly ask Borist if he could join them, promising to bring all the first-aid supplies and no servants, for Borist's safety.

Borest agreed.

So the activity of the older brother taking his younger sister out to play turned into three boys taking two young girls out to play.

Thanks to the two young masters of the Torrupsner family, Borist and his sisters also managed to ride in the magic carriage instead of going out on broomsticks.

The three boys remained silent, but the voices of the two little girls prevented the magical carriage from becoming awkwardly quiet.

"Brother, is it really okay to leave Little Star at home?" Carola tugged at Borist's sleeve and asked softly.

Little Star is the little black cat that Borist brought back.

“I’ve set up a barrier inside the room, so the little stars won’t be detected. Besides, they won’t come into my room,” Borest replied.

"Will Little Star be unhappy because we don't take it out to play?" Olivia whispered in Borist's ear.

“I think…probably not.” Borest recalled the little black cat sleeping soundly by the window that morning, basking in the sun and looking completely content. “It probably prefers to stay home.”

Watching the three siblings across from him enjoying themselves, Hu Xiaohai casually glanced at Hailaidi, the original owner's half-brother, and began to lament the differences between siblings.

However, Heledi has been much more well-behaved these days, completely unlike her aggressive self in the first few days after she took over. Hu Xiaohai pulled the blanket around himself tighter and looked at the scenery outside the carriage. It seemed that being defeated by Borist's last-ditch counterattack was quite unpleasant for Heledi.

At this moment, Heledi, who was quietly looking at the carriage floor with her arms crossed, complained to herself about why Heikal would unusually want to follow her. Then she pondered what method she should use to kill Borist in a way that looked like an accident, right under the noses of the three of them.

If you scare those two little girls a bit, they'll shut up. If they keep yelling, just bury them and their brother together.

"I never expected to have the chance to be alone with Haikar today. It would be strange if I weren't the only one who survived after so many deaths. I could have eliminated Haikar as well," Heledi thought with a touch of regret.

When they arrived at their destination, Hu Xiaohai got out of the car and saw that it was indeed a good place.

The place we arrived at was a clearing in a forest. The sun shone warmly on us, and colorful flowers bloomed on the grass. The occasional birdsong was not bothersome.

Upon arriving at the location, Heledi urged Borist to take out his wand and challenge her to a duel as soon as possible.

Without a second thought, Borest replied, "I refuse."

"Why?" Heledi asked, attempting to provoke her, "You're not chickening out, are you?"

"Yes, I chickened out, is that okay?" Borist replied, following Lu Renkui's instructions. "I've finally come out, I don't want to fight."

Hearing this conversation, Hu Xiaohai laughed. He never expected to encounter someone who was just giving up after transmigrating into a book.

"System Bro, you said that William teacher in our school might be part of a newly established quick transmigration department, right? He's quite a good teacher." Hu Xiaohai laughed in his consciousness space. "Didn't the original text say that this background character was quite indifferent? He turned him into a lazy bum, hahaha!"

“It might be good for us,” System 4352 said. “The original body’s current abilities may not be enough to get the magic book hidden by Heledi, but Borist’s current abilities are more than enough.”

"And a reminder, host," System 4352 tugged at its scarf, "Your comeback mission is still at 0% progress. If you can't change it within the next two weeks, our mission rating will drop a level, and the points you earn will be significantly reduced."

"I know, stop urging me, stop urging me, stop urging me! You've already urged me several times these past few days, and you're almost driving me to the brink of rebellion." Hu Xiaohai covered his ears, feeling that System 4352's obsession with catching up on the schedule was no less than that of his high school homeroom teacher, who would walk in every day and say, "Our progress is far behind other classes!"

Hu Xiaohai looked up at Heledi and Borist. Borist had already been led away by his two younger sisters, while Heledi was still chasing after them.

Hu Xiaohai pondered for a moment, picked up a few stones from the ground, and followed behind Hailedi and Borist.

Borist led his two sisters ahead, while Heledi followed behind, chattering incessantly: "What's wrong? Coward! Do you know that you were just lucky that time, so you don't dare to duel me again? You're afraid of being defeated by me here, and then losing all the attention you've gained, right? Coward, turn around and face me! Coward!"

Borist still didn't reply, letting his two sisters lead him forward.

When they reached the stream, Borest knew what his two sisters wanted to do. He took out two small nets from his pocket and let his two sisters go into the river to catch small fish to play with.

Seeing that he was being completely ignored by Borist, Heledi clenched his fist, flicked his wand, and said, "Listen, I know your secret!"

"Oh, what secret do I have?" Borist discovered that his sisters were trying to catch the small fish with a net, but the fish would jump over the net. So Borist secretly used magic to make the fish crash into his barrier, allowing his two sisters to successfully catch the fish.

The two little girls cheered. They originally wanted to take the little fish back for Little Star to eat, but since they didn't have a jar to put the fish in, Little Star wouldn't be able to eat fresh fish after taking it back, so they put it back.

"I suggest you tell me your secret now, otherwise I'll just assume you're making trouble for no reason." Borest released the magic barrier and let the little fish swim away, then cast the magic barrier again to block his two sisters, and set his sights on another pretty little fish.

Heledi gritted his teeth—in a sense, he had been reborn, so he suspected that Borist, whose memories of his previous life were vastly different, had also been reborn.

But how could he possibly say that to their faces? Heikal had been sneaking around like a thief, following them all along.

"So you're just bored and came here to challenge me to a duel, aren't you?" Seeing that his two sisters weren't very interested in catching small fish, Borist took out a handkerchief, first put away the net, then wiped his two sisters' hands with the handkerchief, then put the handkerchief away, picked up his two sisters, stepped across the stream, and continued walking forward.

Heledi gritted her teeth and decided to stop arguing with Borest. Those two little girls were no threat; they weren't even as tall as his knees, and probably hadn't unleashed their magic. She'd just kill all three of them right there.

With that thought in mind, Heledi raised her wand and created a barrier to keep "Heikal" out, then launched an attack on Borest with lightning speed.

Hu Xiaohai was enjoying watching Borist confront Heledi when Heledi, seeing Borist about to leave, suddenly threw out her wand and cast a magical barrier, preventing him from entering before he could even throw his stone.

Hu Xiaohai was anxiously waiting outside, so he quickly wrote a message and sent it to his parents. Then he saw that Heledi's magical attack was scattered in mid-air.

Borist and his two sisters were enveloped in a faint golden light—Borist had already cast a magical shield around himself.

Within her consciousness space, Lu Renkui clutched her chest, feeling her heart pounding. Ever since the butler summoned her, she had felt a chill run down her spine, thinking that Heledi might launch a sneak attack. Fortunately, Borist listened to her advice and set up a protective shield; otherwise, all three of them might have died here today.

Boris's heart was actually beating very fast, but he calmly put down his two sisters, shielding them behind him, then flicked his wand, assuming a defensive stance, and warily faced Heledi.

The two boys argued back and forth, and after a while, Borist slowly said, "Are you crazy?"
