Transcending the Magic Era: The Supreme Female Archmage

At this moment, the atmosphere inside Qin Yi's tent was somewhat strange.

After returning to her tent, the anger that had been building up inside her finally erupted. She slammed her hands on the table, making a loud noise that nearly knocked the teacup off the table.

However, her anger did not subside; instead, it intensified. She swept the teacup off the table, the crisp sound of it shattering echoing in the silent tent.

Yang Qi stood aside, hesitant to speak. He wanted to go forward and comfort Qin Yi, but he was afraid of saying the wrong thing, so he could only silently watch her vent.

Liu Yan, on the other hand, appeared relaxed and at ease, gently waving his folding fan as he watched her tantrum with a leisurely air, even finding it rather amusing.

Seeing her so out of control, Qin Xiao frowned and couldn't help but say coldly, "What's wrong with you? Don't you have any semblance of a noble lady anymore? You're acting like a madwoman."

Qin Yi paused, her angry gaze turning to Qin Xiao, and said coldly, "Are you still my brother? Didn't you hear how Ji Moyu treated me back then? I've never been so humiliated in my life!"

Her tone was full of grievance and anger; clearly, Ji Moyu's cold response had deeply hurt her pride.

Upon hearing this, Liu Yan chuckled softly, fanning herself with her folding fan, and said calmly, "It's alright, you'll get used to it after a few more times."

Upon hearing this, Qin Yi trembled with rage and glared at Liu Yan, "What kind of nonsense are you spouting?"

She couldn't believe Liu Yan would say such a thing so casually, completely disregarding her feelings. Was this still her teammate? Or was he a spy sent by the enemy?

Liu Yan raised an eyebrow, her folding fan still waving in her hand, and said casually again, "Isn't that right? You know what you're thinking. This is just the beginning. If you can't even handle this, you'd better give up your idea now, lest you become a laughingstock later!"

"Xiaoyi, Ji Moyu is not someone you can easily get close to." Qin Xiao looked at his angry sister and tried to persuade her in a calm tone, "With his personality, you can tell he's cold-hearted and heartless. You'd better not go looking for trouble."

“Yes, Xiaoyi. You’re so outstanding, there will naturally be people who appreciate you. Why bother to annoy him?” Yang Qi couldn’t help but speak up, a hint of heartache and inferiority flashing in his eyes.

Hearing their words of comfort, Qin Yi's anger surged even more fiercely. She clenched her fists tightly, her knuckles turning white with rage.

She suddenly stood up straight, a resolute glint in her eyes. "I will never give up! My family background, looks, and talent are all excellent; why would he look down on me?!"

Liu Yan glanced at Yang Qi beside her, a sarcastic smile playing on her lips, and slowly said, "Maybe he doesn't like people older than him."

"You!" Qin Yi's face instantly turned ashen, her eyes bloodshot, and she was filled with rage. She gritted her teeth and said, "If you can't speak properly, then shut up!"

Liu Yan smiled lightly, slightly raising the folding fan in her hand, her eyes filled with obvious contempt, and her tone full of sarcasm.

"Do you think you're gold and everyone has to like you? Besides, even if you are gold, there are still people who treat money like dirt! People should have some self-awareness."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over Qin Yi, his tone even more indifferent: "Besides, which girl in his team doesn't have a better family background, looks, and talent than you? Why would he choose you over so many other options?"

These words were like a sharp knife, piercing Qin Yi's most sensitive spot. Her chest heaved violently, and the anger in her heart almost made her lose her mind.

"What do you mean?" Qin Yi's voice trembled slightly, and intense resentment flashed in her eyes. "Do you think I'm not good enough for you?"

Liu Yan did not answer her question directly, but simply said casually, "I'm just kindly reminding you not to think too highly of yourself, and not to be attached to people you shouldn't be attached to."

Qin Yi's face turned pale instantly, her heart felt like it was being squeezed tightly, and she could barely breathe. She bit her lip, trying hard to suppress the surging emotions inside her, afraid that she would lose control at this moment.

Liu Yan noticed her change, but remained nonchalant, gently shaking the folding fan in her hand.

"Don't get so worked up. As your teammate, I'm saying all this for your own good."

His tone was somewhat nonchalant, "You know perfectly well that he was so cold to you today, and had absolutely no interest in you. Why did you insist on going head-on into it?"

A layer of mist welled up in Qin Yi's eyes. She lowered her head, bit her lip lightly, and tried to make her voice sound calm: "I know what I want. Today is only the first time we've met. He just doesn't understand me."

Liu Yan shrugged, a contemptuous smile playing on her lips. "Fine, then keep deceiving yourself."

"Xiaoyi, I think Liu Yan makes a lot of sense. Why don't you reconsider? Don't be too stubborn; it won't do you any good." Seeing this, Qin Xiao's tone carried a hint of helplessness and consolation. "As a member of the Qin family, there are so many fine men waiting for you to choose from. Why insist on pursuing Ji Moyu?"

Qin Yi did not respond further. Her lips were tightly pressed together, and her face was pale, but she showed no sign of compromise.

Seeing that she remained silent, Liu Yan sneered and waved his hand: "You are really stubborn. You won't let go until you get hurt."

He paused, a hint of amusement in his eyes, "However, if you insist on doing this, then no one can stop you. Just make sure you can withstand his cold words and don't come back every day smashing tables and breaking dishes, or you'll become a laughing stock."

Qin Xiao looked at Qin Yi, his brows furrowed, scratching his head in confusion, his mind filled with doubt. "It's just one meeting, what are you so fixated on? Love at first sight? You can't live without him? Is it really that serious?"

Qin Yi frowned slightly. After a moment of silence, she spoke in a low voice, her tone carrying an imperceptible firmness, "I know this sounds absurd, and perhaps even I don't understand it myself. But... I just want him to understand me, I want to get closer to him."

Hearing this, Yang Qi felt a pang of sorrow, and the pain in his eyes deepened. He hesitated for a moment, then finally couldn't help but speak, his voice low and tinged with resentment: "Then... what if he already has someone he likes? Would you give up?"

Qin Yi's lips trembled slightly as she lowered her head, seemingly trying to suppress the turmoil in her heart. After a long while, she slowly spoke, "If he really has someone he likes... I will give up."

Upon hearing this, a glint of joy flashed in Yang Qi's eyes. He then said, "He does indeed have someone he likes, you..."

Before she could finish speaking, Qin Yi suddenly raised her head, her eyes sharpening. She bit her lower lip tightly, her emotions spiraling out of control, her voice trembling with hysteria: "What? Impossible! How could he have someone he likes? You must be lying to me! I don't believe it!"

Yang Qi was stunned by what he saw. Seeing her out-of-control state, his heart ached, his brows furrowed, and his eyes were filled with worry.

He took a deep breath and said softly, "I'm not lying to you. I saw it very clearly this afternoon. Even though he maintained a cold expression, his eyes would inadvertently reveal a hint of tenderness when he looked at the person he liked."

Shock and pain mingled in Qin Yi's eyes. She opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a word. Yang Qi's words were like a sharp needle, piercing deep into her heart, and an indescribable pain spread from the depths of her soul.

After a long while, she finally recovered and muttered to herself, "They're not together, I still have a chance..."
