He would just have to wait and see!
After he was satisfied with the answer, Ouyang Huanyu left the Warlock Division.
Hundreds of radiant light crystals were left in the empty Warlock Tower.
As he looked at Ouyang Huanyu’s departing figure, Yun Qi’s aged face showed some traces of helplessness. He let out a long sigh and then looked toward the crevice that was hidden in the dark.
“Stinky kid, hurry, and get over here.”
Shen Yanxiao was startled. Ouyang Huanyu knew where she hid because of the perception magic, but how did Yun Qi realize where she was?
Even though she hesitated, Shen Yanxiao knew that the lonely old man harbored no ill intentions toward her. He had also protected her identity from Ouyang Huanyu.
Shen Yanxiao considered it for a mere second before she came out from the darkness.
Yun Qi was surprised when he saw a slim-looking figure appeared in front of him.
The child looked to be only about thirteen or fourteen years old, but their physique seemed to be smaller than children of the same age. Ouyang Huanyu said that the student had cast the Illusion Construct during the test. Yun Qi had been curious to find out what the student looked like since it was incredible for someone that young to be able to cast a fourth-grade curse in just one month. However, he did not imagine that the student would be that young.
“How old are you?” Yun Qi asked with a frown. The kid was younger than he had guessed. If he had not heard about the news from Ouyang Huanyu, he would never have believed that the kid before him had learned a fourth-grade curse.
Only an intermediate warlock could cast a fourth-grade curse.
“Thirteen.” Shen Yanxiao touched her nose lightly. She did not sense any danger from Yun Qi.
“So young?” Yun Qi was startled. A thirteen-year-old intermediate warlock?
How was that possible?!
Even though he was doubtful, Yun QI knew that they should not have a conversation there. What it that crafty old fox, Ouyang Huanyu, decided to eavesdrop on their discussion?
“Follow me.” Yun Qi turned and walked into the Warlock Tower.
Shen Yanxiao followed him without any hesitation.
The Warlock Tower was the same as she remembered – quiet and peaceful. Yun Qi sat at the end of the table, just like he did before, while Shen Yanxiao stood beside a pile of books and stared at Yun Qi obediently.
“Did you take the sheepskin book that I placed on the second floor?” Yun Qi still felt some uncertainty deep in his mind. The child in front of him was too young, and it was hard for him to see her as an intermediate warlock.
“That’s right.” Shen Yanxiao nodded and answered him with honesty. She knew that Yun Qi did not have any malicious intent toward her. He told Ouyang Huanyu that she was his student, and Shen Yanxiao had long-regarded the author of the sheepskin book as her part-teacher since she started to practice the spells in the book.
She did not know why, but she was rather fond of the old man who did not care about the affairs of life and shut himself indoors every day. She was also not as cautious as she would have been usually.
Yun Qi took a deep breath and forcefully suppressed the excitement that he felt within him.
“Did you use the Illusion Construct recorded in the sheepskin book during the test?”
“Mhmm.” Shen Yanxiao nodded submissively and then lowered her head. She thought that her life’s biggest failure was when she cast the Illusion Construct as she would not have been in such a predicament otherwise.
