I raise elves in Florian

The oblivious Frillie didn't know how to express her feelings, so she could only show her longing for Shi Yichen through her actions.

Okay! Okay! I miss you too.

Shi Yichen stroked Frilian's hair and reached out to hug her.

"Let's go back! Don't keep the teacher waiting."

Shi Yichen looked down at Frillian.

When Shi Yichen was eighteen, she was already a head taller than Frilian. She thought she would grow taller, but the starting point was the end point. She stopped growing, and time seemed to stand still. This was something Shi Yichen couldn't accept at the time.

"Ok!"

Frilian released her grip on Shi Yichen's hand, but kept holding his hand with her other hand, showing no intention of letting go.

And so, Shi Yichen led Frilian in front, with Frilian following behind.

"You're back? I thought you two were going to chat for a long time! After all, it's been three years since we last saw each other."

Flame watched as Frilian and Shi Yichen walked back hand in hand.

"Teacher, what are you doing?"

Shi Yichen watched as the teacher dug a hole in the ground next to the house.

"More and more people are going into the forest now, just in case."

As she spoke, the teacher, Flame, took out a sapling and planted it in the soil.

"Is this all you rely on to guard the house?"

Frillie looked at a sapling planted by her teacher, Flame.

"Don't underestimate it. Once it grows up, it can protect this place for a thousand years without any problem."

Flame cast a protective barrier around the sapling to safeguard everything in the area.

"By then, teacher, you'll already be dead!"

Frillie didn't understand why her teacher was doing this; who knew what would happen a thousand years from now?

“That’s right, but you are different from Yi Chen. You will definitely make a big mistake in the future. Even with Yi Chen by your side, you will still make mistakes and become more eager to understand humanity.”

Everything Flame is doing now is for the sake of Frilian, the emotionless elf, though she doesn't know how long it will take.

As for Shi Yichen, Flame was very relieved about her because she was human, only she could live a long time. Humans were different from elves; humans learned everything quickly, so Flame was not worried about Shi Yichen.

"Do you want me to understand you? Teacher, are you begging for my attention?"

Frilian looked at Flame with a puzzled expression; she didn't understand what Flame meant.

"No, that's not it! I'm telling you to come back here sometime, and I'll help you. I, the Great Mage Flame, will help you."

Flame patted Frilian's little head, wondering when her apprentice would finally understand. She really hoped that Shi Yichen could teach her more about emotions.

Did I say something wrong?

Frillie looked at Shi Yichen, puzzled. She felt she hadn't said anything wrong, so why would the teacher say that?

"Maybe! But don't worry, I'll come back with you then."

Shi Yichen didn't know how to talk about things a thousand years from now. He could only come back with Frilian when the time came, provided that he could live to see that time.

"Ah."

Frilian couldn't believe she could have made such a big mistake, especially one made a thousand years later, and had to come back to her teacher to fix it. How could this be possible?

"Don't overthink it, you'll find out when the time comes."

Shi Yichen looked at the pensive Frilian and comforted her.

"OK."

We'll just have to wait and see what mistakes I might make.

"Come and eat, you two."

Teacher Flame spoke to the two people who were still next to the sapling.

"Okay, teacher, I'm coming."

Shi Yichen responded to his teacher, Flame, and then took Frilian's hand and walked over.

Frilian did not refuse and followed Shi Yichen over.

…………

night.

After dinner, Shi Yichen took out the gifts she had prepared for her teacher, Flame, and Frilian from her backpack.

They bought these things on the way back. They bought quite a lot of things, as well as Shi Yichen's own ideas about making magic accessible to the entire continent.

Shi Yichen has always supported his teacher's idea that everyone on the continent could learn magic, so that humanity would have more powerful forces to fight against the Demon King's army.

Although Shi Yichen has been away for three years, he has been helping his teacher during those three years. Don't forget that his grandmaster, Celia, is a living encyclopedia of magic; she knows all kinds of magic.

Frilian hasn't been idle these past three years either. Whenever she has free time, she helps her teacher. Even Flame thinks Frilian's analysis of magic is amazing.

Whenever Shi Yichen encounters a problem, he goes to his grandmaster, Celia, for answers. Celia also knows that the questions Shi Yichen asks are all to help Flame.

Although she and Flame had different ideologies, she still helped Shi Yichen solve the problems she encountered.

Whether it's her own apprentice or her grand-apprentice, Celia may say no, but she's all bark and no bite.

After giving the gift to the teacher, it was Frillie's turn next.

Shi Yichen took three precious magic books from his teacher, along with some magic books and scrolls he had acquired on his journey, and stuffed them into Frilian's arms.

"With so many magic books and scrolls, we can look at them for a while longer."

Frillie couldn't help but laugh as she looked at the magic books and scrolls in her arms. Although her teacher also had many books and scrolls, she had already read most of them, except for some advanced magic books.

"It's getting late, I'm going to rest now. It's been three years since we last met, I bet you have a lot to talk about, but don't chat too late!"

After finishing her speech, Teacher Flame took the gift and returned to her room. They must have had a lot to say to each other after not seeing each other for three years! As their teacher, I won't disturb them.

Flame lives alone in a quiet room because she needs a relatively quiet room to study magic. Shi Yichen and Frilian live together, and they sometimes practice together and chat.

"Okay, teacher."

Shi Yichen and Frilian responded.

That night, Shi Yichen and Frilian talked for a very long time. Shi Yichen shared interesting experiences and stories from his travels with Frilian, who listened with great interest.

Although she sometimes went out with her teacher, she never went as far as Shi Yichen. The only time she went far was to the Peak Empire to study magic with the powerful magicians in the Magic Academy.

At that time, Frilian witnessed several powerful humans besides her teacher. There were several people stronger than her, but none of them were stronger than her teacher.

(Just kidding, are you kidding me, the founding father of human magic? Even combined, they couldn't beat Flame.)

Frilian also shared the interesting things she had encountered with Shi Yichen. The two slept in the same bed, and as they talked, Frilian fell silent, followed by the soft sound of her breathing.

"It looks like she fell asleep happily."

Shi Yichen looked at Frilian, who was sleeping with a smile on her face, and covered her with a blanket. Whether it was unintentional or not, Frilian hugged Shi Yichen while he was covering her with a blanket.

Shi Yichen smiled, not pulling away from Frilian's hand, but instead gently hugging her and closing his eyes. Frilian, held by Shi Yichen, smiled even more brightly.

(That's right, Frilian was pretending to be asleep because she wanted to hug Shi Yichen, but she was too embarrassed, so she could only pretend to be asleep as a cover.)

That night, Frilian slept exceptionally well, smelling the scent on Shi Yichen that she hadn't smelled in a long time, and soon she really fell asleep.

Before they knew it, it was morning. Shi Yichen opened his eyes and saw Frilian's lovely sleeping face. He gently kissed Frilian's forehead as she slept, then tiptoed out of bed, changed his clothes, and left the room.

Shi Yichen got up so early to prepare breakfast for his teacher and Frilian.

Previously, at Grandmaster Seria's place, Shi Yichen took care of breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Of course, this was Shi Yichen's own request. If you come here to learn, you should have a learning attitude. Besides, what you do is no worse than what you do outside, and it's healthier too.

As long as you make Celie happy, you can learn any magic.

"I didn't expect you to be up so early!"

When Teacher Flame opened the door, she saw Shi Yichen busy in the kitchen, and the air was filled with the aroma of delicious food.

Where is Frilian?

Teacher Flame saw that Shi Yichen was already up, so Frilian should be up too, right? Why didn't she see her?

"I wanted her to sleep a little longer, so I didn't wake her up. I was thinking of waking her up after I finished cooking."

Shi Yichen served the prepared food to the table and addressed his teacher, Flame.

"I didn't expect Frillie to sleep in on your first day back! She's not usually like that."

Teacher Flame looked at Shi Yichen with amusement. When Shi Yichen was not back, Frilian would get up and cultivate every day. Unexpectedly, as soon as Shi Yichen returned, Frilian began to slack off.

(At this time, Frilian was still quite diligent. It was only after her teacher Flame passed away that Frilian gradually became lazy.)

"That's more like her personality."

Shi Yichen chuckled lightly.

"That's true."

Teacher Flame also agreed with what Shi Yichen said.

"I'm going to call her."

After serving the last dish, Shi Yichen returned to his room.

"Frilian, it's time to get up."

Shi Yichen came to the bedside and poked Frilian's round little face with his finger.

"Hmm~, Yichen told me to sleep a little longer."

Because they had chatted a little late the night before, Frilian was still a bit sleepy at this time.

"No! If we don't get up now, breakfast will get cold."

Shi Yichen lifted the blanket and pulled the sleepy-eyed Frillie up.

And just like that, the sleepy Frillie was pulled up and fell right into Shi Yichen's arms.

"Really."

Shi Yichen shook his head helplessly as he looked at Frilian's appearance.

Looking at Frillie's long ears, Shi Yichen grinned mischievously, then took a bite, though only a light one.

"Yeah~"

Then Frilian jumped up with a "biu," just like a startled little rabbit.

"Haha, I've changed my clothes and am out for breakfast."

Seeing that Frillie was fully awake, Shi Yichen smiled and walked out of the room.

Only Frilian remained, standing on the bed with her ears red, watching Shi Yichen walk out of the room.

"What's wrong? Why are you laughing so happily?"

Seeing Shi Yichen walk out of the room with a big smile on his face, Flame was very curious about what had happened between Shi Yichen and Frilian inside.

"I teased Frilian a bit to get her out of bed."

She bit Frilian's ear on a whim, just to see how Frilian would react. She didn't expect Frilian's reaction to be so big and so cute, which made her laugh out loud.

"Hurry up! Otherwise I'll eat yours!"

Shi Yichen shouted loudly to Frilian in the room.

When Frillie, who was in the room, heard that her portion was going to be eaten, she quickly changed her clothes and went out.

If it weren't for the fact that Frillie's ears were still red, I would have thought that what just happened hadn't occurred.

"You lied to me again."

As Frilian stepped out of the room, she saw that her teacher and Shi Yichen were sitting at the dining table, but they hadn't started eating breakfast yet and were waiting for her to get up. Frilian glared at Shi Yichen before sitting down at the table.

I'm so sorry!

Seeing Frilian like this, Shi Yichen couldn't help but reach out and pat her little head.

"Alright, let's eat breakfast! After you've finished, let me see what you've learned from your teacher."

Flame smiled as she looked at her two apprentices, then spoke to Shi Yichen.

She was eager to see how much her little apprentice had learned from her teacher, and also to see if he had gone astray under her tutelage.

After all, she was almost led astray by her teacher when she was young, so it's fair to say that Celia had a rather bad impression of Flame.

"Yes, teacher!"

And so the three of them began to eat breakfast. This was Shi Yichen's first breakfast since he returned, and it seemed that his teacher and Frilian were in a very good mood.

After having breakfast, the three masters and their disciples left the house and came to a very open plain.

Flame stretched out her hand and released a huge barrier in the sky, covering the entire plain.

"Yichen, let me see what you've learned from your teacher."

Flame said to Shi Yichen that she wanted to test how much Shi Yichen had grown.

"Yes, teacher!"

As he spoke, Shi Yichen summoned his longsword.

Seeing this, Frilian consciously walked to the side and sat on the grass, watching Flame and Shi Yichen.

It's just a test, not a real competition, so there's no need to worry about getting hurt.

Frilian also wanted to see what Shi Yichen had learned from Celia during these three years.

"boom!"

"Splash!"

In an instant, the entire plain was shrouded in magic of various attributes, and in just a few rounds, the plain was destroyed beyond recognition.

The shockwaves from the battle startled all the animals in the vicinity, and people thought a natural disaster had occurred.

Two massive magical attacks collided, and the resulting explosion seemed to shatter the entire sky. One moment the sun was shining brightly, and the next moment darkness descended.

Magma, ice, lightning strikes, earthquakes, explosions, and all sorts of other properties filled the entire plain.

Both Flame and Shi Yichen stopped; it was just a simple test, and they would stop short of it.

"That's pretty good. I wasn't as good as you when I was your age."

Teacher Flame patted the dust off her clothes that had accidentally gotten on them. After the battle, Flame's clothes were only a little dirty.

In contrast, Shi Yichen looked rather disheveled, covered in dust and dirt, with torn clothes and messy hair.

"Of course! I am the disciple of the great mage Flame, how could I not be powerful?"

Shi Yichen looked at his teacher with a grin.
