Chapter Six

In the shade of the university, Zilin watched her teacher leave with an exasperated expression.

"Was the teacher hypnotized? Qin Yang, did you do it?"

"Things you don't know shouldn't be classified as abnormal."

"Why are you suddenly being serious?"

"Sister, we've known each other for less than twenty-four hours. How can you determine when I'm being serious or not?"

Zilin swiftly placed the broom around my neck, the bristles of the broom uncomfortable against my neck and, more importantly, covered in dirt.

"Princess Zilin, do you have a question?"

"I can distinguish who is being serious and who is not. And you were definitely not being serious just now."

"I didn't say anything wrong. What's wrong with not being serious? I've always been serious."

Zilin glanced at the time and her expression suddenly changed. She hurriedly put away the broom and rushed off, but before she left, she warned me to pay quickly.

I couldn't help but think that the library had such limited resources and they still wanted me to pay. Would I do such a stupid thing? The answer was absolutely not.

"Hey!" I raised the book in my hand and called out to Zilin.

But Zilin's steps were too fast and she was long gone. I had originally planned to return the book, but it seemed I would have to do it another time.

As the sun was preparing to set, I returned to The Chishin Academy's high school section. Along the way, I reminisced about the things in the book and compared them to the Ma Rutian I had seen with my own eyes. If the Ma Rutian in the book was real, then the Ma Rutian I saw was just someone with the same name.

"I couldn't find the other materials, so I can only go find her."

Originally, my plan was to find her in the university library if I could find more materials. I had no intention of finding her.

"Qin Yang."

"Tesha?"

Tesha stood in front of me, holding her book, with a very uncomfortable expression on her face. However, I was curious about the bag she was carrying.

"I have a question for you, who are you?"

"Who can I be, Qin Yang, Demon Dragon, or Holy Dragon, you pick one."

"You really don't plan to say? Everyone in the student council knows, why can't you say it with your own mouth!" Tesha's emotions fluctuated greatly, just two sentences and her emotions started to become unstable. Obviously, the degree of inner conflict had accumulated not just over one or two days.

"What do they know?"

"My mother has your contract, your dragon spirit contract!" Tesha's emotions were pushed to a limit as she said this, tears already swirling in her eyes.

"Why are you crying? I thought you would be prepared for this." I raised my hand and gently brushed away the tears with my thumb at the corners of her eyes.

"Mother... the person she's been talking about is you! Why is it you? I don't believe it."

"If you don't believe it, even if I say it with my own mouth, you still wouldn't believe it."

"Then aren't you going to explain?"

"I can't explain."

"You're the ones who traveled through The Demon Realm, why did you let me know?"

"When did you want to know then?"

Tesha turned away from me, her back facing me, gripping the bag tightly, the whole bag trembling. Then she threw the bag at me.

"I don't want to know for the rest of my life!"

I held the bag with my reddened head sticking out.

"Uncle! Long time no see."

"Qiqi, is the bag comfortable?"

"I hate it, why do you humans like to abuse us like this?"

Looking at Tesha's silver hair swinging like her mother's, I also felt helpless.

"Do you get used to living at the Guffy's?"

"Feifei, in the beginning, she used to nag about you all the time, very annoying, but after getting used to it, it really became quite normal." Qiqi jumped onto my footsteps and scratched me with her cat paw.

"You saw Tesha grew up, when did you see her like this?"

"When her father passed away."

"Trouble... I have to go now. It's been over ten years since I last saw you. Although I really want to take you out to play, I have something very important to do."

At the principal's office, I pushed open the principal's door. Guffy was facing a table full of documents, with unfinished ones on the left hand and completed ones on the right hand. The completed ones looked higher, but still not as high as the unfinished ones on the left hand.

"Don't you see my documents are higher than yours? Either you help me with them or come back next time." Guffy spun her pen and looked at me.

"Qiqi."

"Uncle, you make me work as soon as we meet. I really don't want to see you."

Qiqi jumped onto Guffy's desk, picked up a pen and wrote the exact same words as Guffy on the document.

"Now I have time." I rested my hands on the desk and looked at Guffy's tired face.

"You've been awake for a day and I haven't seen you yet."

"I have some things to figure out."

"Is it related to me?" Guffy leaned back, making a stretching movement. Guffy's perfect figure was revealed just right in that motion.

"Do you remember the photo at your house, the one taken when you were adventuring?"

"The photo?"

"The one at the pyramid." I reminded Guffy, it was that photo.

"That... " Guffy's face became serious. Looking at her complexion, it seemed that the situation at that time was very complicated, and she struggled to recall. She was resisting the memories.

"I've always felt that you didn't want to remember that time, and now I see it's true." I lifted Guffy's face. Guffy's makeup today looked quite innocent, but the eye makeup gave off a hint of allure.

"Did you do this makeup?"

"Learned it recently. Saw a young star who did it very nicely yesterday." Guffy took out a small mirror and looked at her new makeup. No matter how old you are, as long as you're a woman, learning makeup is really a required course.

"It looks great."

Guffy put down the mirror, and the serious look reappeared. She said, "Why do you want to know about the pyramid incident?"

"Because of Marutian. It was him who turned Elena into this."

"He...he was not like this before."

"Is what the book says true?"

I placed the two books in front of her. Guffy picked up the books and used "high-speed browsing" to flip through several thousand pages in a few seconds.

"He is not mentioned in here."

"Heh heh, get to the point, is the person in the book really him?"

Guffy let down her hair, took a long sigh...

About thirty years ago, in the territory of Emo and Nia, that year was a severe drought, coupled with the fact that Emo and Nia was originally a country built on a desert, water was as precious as gold that year.

In that year, Guffy ventured alone into this desert land. It happened to be summer, and the temperature was exceptionally high. It was as difficult for him to use water-based magic in such a place as it would be for a demon to enter The Divine Realm.
