256.2 – Xia Xue Says She Wants to Learn Magic

“No one caught up to us, right?”

After crossing several streets and arriving at a remote corner of the town, Xue Qilin stopped and looked back.

She only saw a few townspeople in coarse linen clothes pass by and look at the three of them.

“Ah, a fight nearly broke out!”

Seeing no traces of pursuers, Xue Qilin released a sigh of relief.

“Qilin, Qilin, that was so exhilarating! Let’s do it again!”

Phecda’s ill-timed remark prompted Xue Qilin to roll her eyes and say, “If you want to, then go by yourself!”

As if annoyed, Xia Xue crossed her arms and humphed.

“Really, if I had known that this would happen, I would have refused Younger Sister Temple Master!”

With that, she plastered a cold smile on her face and glared at Li Wanting.

“Senior Disciple Sister Li, you can stir up more trouble than our tiny Young Ancestor! What an eye-opener! Oh, you see something guarded by troops, yet you dare to get close to it?”

Li Wanting, whose mouth is sealed, can only make mmmphh sounds. But her tone seems to be that of apology.

Should have calmed down, right? Thinking this, Xue Qilin put Li Wanting down and tore off the talisman stuck to her mouth. At the same time, Phecda climbed to the top of Xue Qilin’s head and stayed there.

“Sorry, I was a bit excited…”

Li Wanting scratched her head and apologized, an embarrassed look on her face.

Xue Qilin and Xia Xue rolled their eyes helplessly. Phecda, on the other hand, chirped, appearing to be excited.

“No, no, Older Sister Li was wonderful just now! The soldiers just stared blankly! And Older Sister — ouch!”

Xue Qilin knocked Phecda on the head to stop her from carrying on.

Phecda clasped the place that was knocked with her hands and tearfully protested, “Qilin, Qilin, why did you hit me again?”

Xue Qilin ignored Phecda and waved her hand.

“Undo!”

In response to Xue Qilin’s command, the vines winding around Li Wanting quickly scuttled away and withdrew to the source. The talisman immediately ignited, slowly fell to the ground, and then turned into ashes and scattered.

“I troubled Young Ancestor.”

Li Wanting smiled bitterly and fidgeted.

Xia Xue, who witnessed the whole process, leaned against the outwall of a nearby house and raised the corners of her mouth into an enigmatic smile.

“It seems that magic is rather convenient. Xue Qilin, when you have time, teach me the magic that can bind people.”

Xia Xue said this with the shade of interest on her face.

When she heard Xia Xue say that she wants to learn magic, Xue Qilin looked at her in surprise.

“What did you just say? You said you want to learn magic?”

Li Wanting, who also seems to be surprised by Xia Xue’s unexpected statement, asked, “Junior Disciple Sister Xia, didn’t you say you didn’t want to learn because it’s troublesome?”

“What’s so strange about it?” Xia Xue looked at the two in disapproval, “I want to learn some useful ones.”

Xue Qilin looked at Xia Xue suspiciously for a while.

Then, she mischievously put a hand on her hips and looked up at Xia Xue.

“Yo yo, weren’t you not interested before?”

“I’m interested now. ‘Prompted by a sudden impulse’, ever heard of this expression?”

Xia Xue asked sarcastically while playing with her hair. Xue Qilin snorted and turned her face away.

“Ah, you want me to teach, so I have to teach you? Isn’t that a loss of face for me?”

At the same time, Xue Qilin glanced at Xia Xue from one eye. Her eyes are brimming with elation.

“Oh, if you don’t teach me, then I will tell the Younger Sister Temple Master that I want to learn, and she will naturally ask you to teach me.”

A disdainful smile emerged on Xia Xue’s face, and she cast Xue Qilin a look of contempt.

“You can try giving her the same answer then. Ah, I can see right before my eyes the scene of some tiny girl running around while miserably shouting “it’s not like that”. Oh, right! I seem to have seen someone eating a steamed bun in the kitchen. Hmm… who was it again –?”

Xia Xue deliberately dragged out the last word and cast her gaze on Xue Qilin several times, making it obvious what the answer is. In fact, Xue Qilin really did secretly eat something in the kitchen a while ago.

“Young Ancestor, did you eat something in secret? Qi’er hates when people do that…”

“Oh — Qilin ate on the sly! That’s really bad!”

Li Wanting’s voice of helplessness and Phecda’s reproach entered Xue Qilin’s ears one after another, and her face stiffened for a short time.

How did she see that! Damn it, I got caught! She secretly scolded herself for being carelessness.

“Will you teach me or not?”

Under Xia Xue’s look of disdain, Xue Qilin dejectedly collapsed her shoulders.

“… what do you want to learn?”

Without waiting for Xia Xue’s reply, Xue Qilin carried on, “I think you can try wood attribute magic. After all, your agility technique is exceptional… If you add the wood attribute magic to your wind attribute agility technique, that’ll be like giving wings to a tiger!”

“Oh.” Xia Xue nodded silently, and then asked curiously, “The magic you used to tie up Senior Disciple Sister Li just now, is that also wood attribute magic?”

“Ah, do you mean ‘Vine Bind’?”

Xue Qilin asked while blinking her eyes and Xia Xue answered with a brief “yes”.

“That’s indeed wood attribute magic…”

“Okay, then I want to learn the wood attribute.”

Xia Xue nodded with satisfaction and made a decision.

Judging by her reaction, Xue Qilin feels that she decided to learn the wood attribute because Vine Bind is classified as wood attribute magic, and not because it is helpful to her movement style and agility technique.

Isn’t she focusing on the wrong point? Xue Qilin wrinkled her nose.

It was not until Xia Xue used Vine Bind to tie her up that she understood why the other party is learning magic.
