Is that so?"
When Jiang Yuan heard the three words "Xishui Town," a guess arose in his mind.
Crimson Flame is in Xishui Town. Could it be that she is carrying out the Crimson Flame mission?
The Demon Capital is not far from Hangzhou. Perhaps he should go and confirm it.
But what reason could he find to go there? He couldn't just say he was going for the Fire Seed, so should he say he was going for tourism?
As he was thinking, Tang Yue's voice came again:
"I heard from a classmate that you are going to Mingzhu Academy in the Demon Capital for further study. Where are you now?"
"Actually, I've already enrolled. I'm at Mingzhu Academy right now," Jiang Yuan replied truthfully.
"Haha, that's great. The Demon Capital isn't far from Hangzhou. Would you like to come visit me for a few days? I can even help you train," Tang Yue invited enthusiastically.
He was just worrying about not having a reason to go, and Tang Yue actually invited him proactively. This was truly like getting a pillow when one was sleepy.
"Okay, Teacher, then I'll respectfully accept your offer. I'll set off now," Jiang Yuan agreed without hesitation.
Setting off now, he could arrive in the afternoon.
… … … … …
Xishui Town, Hangzhou.
The town is a well-known scenic spot in Hangzhou, but recently, due to the depletion of water sources, few people have come to visit.
As soon as Jiang Yuan arrived in Xishui Town, the dry air choked him, and he immediately bought a bottle of water at a nearby convenience store and guzzled it down.
Drinking water and looking around, the town was covered in cracked land, and the moisture in the air seemed to have evaporated, making people feel very uncomfortable.
At this sight, Jiang Yuan immediately understood.
The Fire Seed in Xishui Town had not yet been taken away.
As he thought, Jiang Yuan followed the address given by Tang Yue and found an inn called "Youjian Inn" among the many guesthouses in Xishui Town.
Tang Yue, knowing of his arrival, came out with a smile to greet him.
Her bright eyes, like autumn water, gazed at Jiang Yuan: "Welcome to Hangzhou."
"Teacher is as young and beautiful as ever. In the future, you will definitely be an outstanding Magician in the country," Jiang Yuan praised.
Tang Yue responded with a smile: "I'm only a few years older than you, so it's normal to be young. Speaking of magic, I heard from Xu Zhaoting that you've already advanced to an Intermediate Magician?"
"Becoming an Intermediate Magician at your age makes you an absolute prodigy in all major forces. Perhaps you will even participate in the National Mansion War in the future and bring glory to the country."
Jiang Yuan couldn't remember telling Xu Zhaoting that he had advanced to Intermediate Magician; only Mo Fan had seen it with his own eyes.
Tang Yue seemed to notice his confusion and said: "During the Bo City disaster, you alone dealt with over twenty One-Eyed Magic Wolves and two Three-Eyed Magic Wolves. I know, you know."
It was no wonder she knew, after all, so many students had witnessed it.
It was just that this record was too terrifying. An Intermediate Magician dealing with over twenty One-Eyed Magic Wolves was one thing, but those two Commander-level Three-Eyed Magic Wolves were truly extraordinary.
Tang Yue was very curious how Jiang Yuan had managed to deal with so many demons by himself.
But she didn't ask, nor did she intend to pry.
He was her student, not a criminal, so why ask so many questions?
As long as he didn't do bad things, wasn't that enough?
Jiang Yuan usually never acted arrogantly just because he was a Magician, and he would also help his classmates.
One must know that many Magicians were simply scumbags, even worse than scumbags. Even the Black Vatican seemed more human than these Magicians.
Someone like Jiang Yuan, who gained power and still protected his classmates, not letting those around him fall into danger.
Who wouldn't praise him?
Although Tang Yue didn't intend to ask, Jiang Yuan also didn't intend to hide too much, so he simply revealed his innate Water System talent.
Anyway, it was already a semi-public matter. As long as he didn't reveal the secret of having an innate talent in every system, it was no big deal.
"So that's it. Your innate talent allows you to use Ice System magic, and its power is even stronger."
Tang Yue was amazed.
Innate talents are rare, and this student's future is limitless!
"You know about the Judgment Association of the Magic Association, right?" Tang Yue suddenly asked.
Jiang Yuan nodded: "I saw an introduction about it in a book. It's a law enforcement department specifically established to apprehend Magicians who violate the laws and regulations promulgated by the Magic Association."
"Actually, I am a member of the Judgment Association. My role as a teacher at Tianlan High School was to carry out a mission. In fact, the Bo City disaster was not a natural disaster, but a man-made one."
Tang Yue began to speak about the Black Vatican in Bo City.
Jiang Yuan made appropriate expressions in response, but in his heart, he thought of the Bo City disaster in the original timeline.
The Judgment Association was truly too foolish. They knew that the Black Vatican had a plan in Bo City, and that the Cardinal Sa Lang was involved, yet they only sent so few Judicators.
Even their strength was terrifyingly low.
He didn't know what kind of intoxicating potion the Judgment Association had given Tang Yue, or if this beautiful, sexy, and charming teacher was truly too naive.
She thought she could truly restrain Sa Lang.
Jiang Yuan's gaze towards Tang Yue became a little strange, but Tang Yue didn't notice, still continuing her narration.
"...Alas, if only more reinforcements had been sent, then not so many Military Law Enforcers would have died," Tang Yue sighed deeply, her expression slightly melancholic.
She recalled the Military Law Enforcers who were engulfed by the beast tide outside the city wall that day.
And the lightning that pierced the heavens and earth, illuminating the rainy night.
It must have been a powerful Lightning Magician who acted, otherwise the losses would have been even greater.
"If you can become a powerful Magician like that Lightning Magician, you will definitely be able to protect a territory's peace in the future, and you can also find a girl even more beautiful than your teacher to be your wife," Tang Yue said.
At this time, he should be humble.
Jiang Yuan smiled: "Becoming a powerful Magician is still a long way off. As for finding a wife, if I can find someone as beautiful as you, Teacher, I would be very satisfied."
Tang Yue gave Jiang Yuan a charming glance: "You can find a wife, but you can't find your teacher. Ethics don't allow it."
Jiang Yuan: "?"
Did Tang Yue misunderstand something? Was my statement really that ambiguous?
Jiang Yuan recalled what he had just said and then realized that there was indeed a tiny bit of ambiguity.
But he honestly told himself that he really didn't mean that.
Jiang Yuan had a hard time explaining himself. At this moment, he couldn't refute, otherwise it would make Tang Yue seem self-important.
That would be too embarrassing.
He could only change the subject: "Teacher, I think something is wrong with Xishui Town. It's too dry. This place shouldn't be like this, should it?"
"Your observation is quite meticulous. There is indeed a problem with this small town. I've been investigating everywhere recently, and the drought here is extremely unusual," Tang Yue's expression became serious.
"Is it a demon or…?" Jiang Yuan asked knowingly.
"I don't know. You need to come with me for a detailed on-site investigation, but I suspect there are human factors involved. I've already locked onto one person. My identity is sensitive and easily detected, so you will track them for me."
Jiang Yuan nodded: "Okay."
Tang Yue was a little surprised: "You're not even asking if it's dangerous?"
"I trust you!" Jiang Yuan said without blushing or his heart skipping a beat.
To be honest, Tang Yue's strength was not even as strong as his.
If he hadn't been sure who was plotting to obtain the Fire Seed, he wouldn't have waded into this muddy water so easily.
