Capítulo 40: The Clue to The Mysterious Message
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
An Ran was really dumbfounded.
She remembered that Xu Tianci was clearly a water magician's apprentice when her subordinates investigated him.
And now?
The young man in front of him had actually used fire magic.
She couldn't think of any other possibility besides being a dual-element mage.
"Sister An Ran, this is normal, right? Hurry up and eat. It'll get cold soon."
In Xiaoyu's eyes, no matter how powerful her brother was, it was completely normal.
"It's normal?" An Ran was a little speechless. "Xu Tianci, I remember that you're only 18 years old. Think about it. I'm afraid there are only a few 18-year-old dual-element mages in the Empire!"
An Ran looked very excited when she spoke.
She kept waving her arms to express the emotions in her heart.
As her arms moved, the peaks on her chest moved continuously.
Xu Tianci and Xiaoyu's eyes widened in surprise.
As if sensing the change in the environment, An Ran followed their gaze.
However, she didn't feel embarrassed. Instead, she deliberately straightened her back.
Xu Tianci, you're the most talented person I've ever seen. Even the Lord of Cloud City, Zhou Jianmin, can't compare to you.
An Ran praised him sincerely.
At the same time, she felt even more furious.
He had to get his hands on such a peerless genius.
He was waiting for the time to go home.
The old man at home would be so shocked that his jaw would drop.
Thinking of her father, who was still haunting her, An Ran looked at Xu Tianci with even more passion.
When Xiaoyu heard sister An Ran praise her brother, she was instantly overjoyed.
This feeling was even better than when he was praised in the virtual battle.
"Oh, that's right, isn't Liu Ningfei the number one genius of our Cloud City?"
Xiaoyu was confused.
"Liu Ningfei?" An Ran thought for a moment and finally realized who Xiaoyu was talking about.
"This Liu Ningfei is just a little stronger. He's nothing in front of those big families." She waved her hand and sneered.
"By the way, Xu Tianci, why don't you stay too? I might give you the rank of a Captain."
As if afraid of Xu Tianci's objection, she quickly added, "But don't worry, this is only temporary. When I'm high up in the military, I'll definitely promote you to major."
"We'll talk about this later."
Xu Tianci did have other things to do.
"Alright then!" An Ran was a little disappointed.
Ring! Ring!
Just then, An Ran's phone rang.
"Hey!"
However, as soon as the call connected, An Ran's expression suddenly became extremely serious.
"Yes, I'll go now!"
After hanging up the phone, An Ran put down her chopsticks and quickly walked back to her room.
Then, she took her military uniform and put it on as she walked.
Xu Tianci looked at the tight-fitting leather jacket she was wearing, and for some reason, his heart started to race.
I have an urgent business to attend to. You guys eat first. I might be back later.
After saying this, An Ran pushed the door open and left.
After the door was closed, Xiaoyu's expression became uneasy.
"Brother, do you think it's because of Liu Hongyu?" she asked in a flustered tone.
Xu Tianci shook his head. "They won't. I've dealt with it very cleanly. The Liu family won't find out it's us. When we finish the magic level assessment tomorrow, even if the Liu family finds out, they'll have to consider the consequences if they want to do anything to us."
After analyzing the situation, Xiaoyu finally relaxed.
However, the Liu family was a big family, after all.
In order to prevent any accidents, Xiaoyu suggested, "Brother, let's go and appraise the level after we say goodbye to sister An Ran!"
"Okay!"
Xu Tianci nodded in agreement.
After the meal, the siblings stored the remaining food and sat on the sofa to turn on the television.
But just as the television was turned on, a piece of urgent news suddenly popped up.
"Emergency: Eastern City Alliance. A large-scale beast tide has occurred in Anshui City. The demonic beasts have been repelled, but the city has suffered heavy losses. The nearby cities have urgently sent many reinforcement teams to the disaster area."
"In addition, due to the demonic beasts 'attack, the cities near Anshui might be affected by the aftermath. Please take the necessary measures."
"Please do not leave the city in the near future to avoid any life-threatening danger!"
Magical beasts attacking the city?
This was a major event!
Could the emergency meeting An Ran was talking about be related to this?
"Brother, I remember that there's a city called Anshui not far from Cloud City. Is this the place?"
Xiaoyu's forehead wrinkled into a frown.
"This is the Eastern City Alliance TV station. It should be referring to the Anshui next to Cloud City."
Xu Tianci was also frowning.
The beast tide this time would most likely be a great threat to Cloud City.
The TV screen changed to another piece of news.
"Wanted: Ning Qiufan, Male, 42 years old. Cultivation: C-rank senior soldier, former director of the Logistics Department of the defense of Jinshui City."
"I hope that the public will actively participate. Those who provide effective information will be rewarded with 10 million magic coins. If this person is captured alive, he will be rewarded with 1 billion magic coins."
Then, a picture appeared on the television.
"1 billion, how tempting. What did this guy do?" Xu Tianci mumbled.
"Brother! I remember now!"
Xiaoyu pointed at the TV and grabbed onto Xu Tianci's shirt excitedly. "This Ning Qiufan is the one who sent the message!"
"It's him?"
Xu Tianci looked at the middle-aged man on the TV again in surprise.
Could Ning Qiufan's arrest warrant be related to the Liu family's deal?
Calculating the time, the transaction time stated in the text message should be in a few hours.
"Brother, I have a feeling that the demonic beasts' attack on the city has something to do with Ning Qiufan."
"Actually, I have the same feeling. If not, why would we issue an arrest warrant for him right after the magical beasts attacked the city?"
"Then let's report him quickly. This Ning Qiufan will make a deal with the Liu family."
"No, we don't have any solid evidence. We can't pose a threat to them at all except for beating the grass and alerting the snake."
"Then what should we do!"
"I have an idea,"
"What is it?"
"Isn't their deal in a few hours? I can secretly photograph their deal, and we'll have evidence."
Xiaoyu's eyes lit up at Xu Tianci's words.
"Yeah, as long as we can record their transaction, we can report the Liu family. Then let's go!"
Xiaoyu stood up immediately.
From the looks of it, they couldn't wait to get the evidence of their transaction.
"Sit down!"
Xu Tianci pressed Xiaoyu's shoulder.
"I have to do this. The lightning element is causing too much commotion," he said earnestly.
"This..."
Xiao yu was about to retort when she saw Xu Tianci's figure turn dark and merge into the shadows beneath her feet.
Xiaoyu had seen this scene before when Liu Hongyu attacked her.
It was just that he was far away at the time and didn't see it clearly.
Now, it was close at hand3.
She couldn't help but sigh again at how good the concealment of the dark element was.
