Transcending the Magic Era: The Supreme Female Archmage

The auction finally came to a close, and the guests who participated in the bidding began to leave one after another. Chu Qiuchi and his group were also satisfied and ready to leave, but Puyang Minghui's gaze remained fixed on Song Yuze not far away, her eyes full of reluctance, and Song Yuze felt the same way.

Seeing how clingy the two were, Chu Qiuchi almost rolled her eyes to the sky. She politely stepped forward to say goodbye to Song Yuze, then quickly reached out and gently put her hand on Puyang Minghui's shoulder, and with a little force, "pulled" her away.

Puyang Minghui seemed a little dazed and stumbled. She turned to look at Chu Qiuchi, a blush rising on her face, and muttered softly, "Oh, Qiuchi, don't be in such a hurry!"

Chu Qiuchi's lips curled up slightly, revealing a playful smile. He stretched out his slender finger and lightly tapped her smooth forehead. "If you don't hurry, I'm afraid you two will be seeing each other until tomorrow."

Hearing this, Puyang Minghui's face flushed even more, like a brilliant sunset. She said shyly and coquettishly, "Oh dear, it's not as exaggerated as you make it out to be!"

"I don't think it's an exaggeration at all. Look at the way you were just now, it was like your eyes were glued to someone else's body."

Chu Yichen's words made Puyang Minghui both ashamed and angry. She stomped her foot and raised her hand to slap him, "Chu Yichen, how can you be so annoying? You're the one who grew out of him!"

Chu Yichen was clearly prepared; with a swift movement, he easily dodged Puyang Minghui's hand. The two then began a new round of playful fighting.

Chu Qiuchi shook his head helplessly, turned his gaze to Nalan Xingyao beside him, and said softly, "Xingyao, do you think Song Yuze is becoming a bit too controlling?"

Nalan Xingyao nodded slightly, a thoughtful look flashing across her calm face. "It is a bit! At first, I could probably understand, but the second time, he actually said such things, which is really puzzling."

"Exactly, exactly. Only Minghui, that silly girl, is completely oblivious and fooled by his appearance. Not to mention her, I was also deceived by his appearance at first. I really thought he was a gentle and warm-hearted man." As she said this, a modern celebrity couple—Yang Zi and Huang Shengyi—instantly flashed into Chu Qiuchi's mind.

"I feel that Song Yuze has his own set of standards for all his behaviors. Perhaps he doesn't mean any harm and is just offering a friendly reminder. As a friend, he's fine, but as a partner, I think Minghui, with her naivety, would definitely be completely manipulated by him."

Nalan Xingyao's face instantly lit up with a smile as she looked up at Chu Qiuchi. "Qiuchi, aren't you thinking a bit too far ahead? This relationship isn't even close to being established yet, and you're already thinking about what it will be like if they become partners. Don't forget, Minghui is still engaged."

Chu Qiuchi raised an eyebrow and chuckled, "It's not like an engagement can't be dissolved. Married couples can get divorced. Look at Minghui today, how infatuated she is. Is she far from falling for him?"

“That depends on the opportunity; we might not see each other again.” Nalan Xingyao said, then suddenly changed the subject, “Don’t talk about Ming Hui anymore, tell me about you and Yu Ge, what’s the situation between you two now?”

On the other side, Ji Moyu, who had been silently following, twitched his ears and quietly moved a little closer.

The mere mention of this caused Chu Qiuchi to explode like a firecracker, instantly becoming furious. "What the hell is going on between us? That bastard is absolutely infuriating! He sent out flirtatious signals, and what happened? In the blink of an eye, he put on this gentlemanly act again. It makes me want to rush up and slap him across the face a few times!"

Ji Moyu paused slightly, her lips twitching involuntarily, a ripple of emotion stirring within her: Qiu Chi, wait a little longer, until you turn eighteen…

Nalan Xingyao covered her mouth and chuckled, "I think it's true that Brother Yu likes you, but maybe he has some other concerns."

Chu Qiuchi rolled her eyes at him, her face full of disdain and contempt: "Heh, don't try to be nice to him. What could he possibly have to worry about? I think this jerk is just making fun of me, treating me like a monkey!"

"How could that be? Brother Yu is definitely not that kind of person!"

Seeing Nalan Xingyao firmly defending Ji Moyu, Chu Qiuchi curled her lip and snorted coldly, "Who knows! Anyway, even without him, I still have a whole forest. My pond will be full of all kinds of fish sooner or later, so I won't miss him."

Upon hearing this, Nalan Xingyao keenly sensed that Ji Moyu's aura had become momentarily disordered. She slightly raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a subtle sly smile, and echoed Chu Qiuchi's words, "Yes, yes, you're right. Even without him, you'll have many more and better fish in the future."

Chu Qiuchi, as if greatly encouraged, put his hands on his hips, tilted his head back, and puffed out his chest with a proud look. "That's right, let that ungrateful crooked-necked fish go cool off somewhere else!"

……

Shortly after parting ways with Chu Qiuchi and the others, Song Yuze received a magical message from Yue Haoran. His expression instantly darkened, his previous gentle demeanor vanishing.

Taking a deep breath to calm himself, he slowly opened Feixin (a Chinese instant messaging service). The message contained only a short line: "How was your meeting with Chu Qiuchi today?" However, this simple sentence struck his heart like a heavy hammer.

As he gazed at those words, the image that came to mind was that of Puyang Minghui, so innocent and lovely. Her simple smile was as warm as the spring sun and as dazzling as the stars on a summer night, truly unforgettable.

After a brief moment of contemplation, he took out his staff, channeled his magic, and began replying to Yue Haoran's message. The message contained only a few words: "It was quite pleasant to spend time together."

After sending the message, Song Yuze curled his lips into a smile, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes. Then, he conjured another magical message, typed in the content, and sent it without hesitation.

Upon receiving the message, Yue Haoran nodded in satisfaction, a sinister glint flashing in his eyes. He said in a low voice, "Auscheng, since you're so useless, don't blame me for choosing someone else. It's time for the Ao family's empire to change hands."
