The wind escape technique was executed beneath his feet.

Xu Tianci rushed home at top speed.

His action immediately attracted everyone’s attention.

The middle-aged man turned around and looked at Xu Tianci’s back.

“Why is there a mage here?” he asked, frowning.

“Maybe he’s a relative of a family. Why would a mage live in such a poor place?”

One of the modified soldiers behind him replied.

Bang! Bang!

“Xiaoyu, are you home?”

Xu Tianci called out when the door opened.

“Eh? Brother, why did you come back?”

Xiaoyu came out of the room in surprise.

Xu Tianci heaved a long sigh of relief when he saw that Xiaoyu was safe and sound.

At the same time, he was puzzled. Why did the housekeeper of the Liu family come here?

“Was there a guest just now?”

Xu Tianci probed.

“Brother, how did you know that someone came to our house? Oh, right, you must have met them when they were out.”

“He’s the factory manager’s subordinate. He’s here to get his phone,” Xiaoyu explained.

“Cell phone? What phone?”

Xu Tianci had a bad feeling.

“When I came back from work today, I picked up a mobile phone at the entrance of the factory. Since there was no one around at the time, I brought the mobile phone back.

“About half an hour ago, my phone rang, and I found out that the person who lost the phone was a big customer of our factory.

“Well, factory manager Liu’s men just took the phone away.”

“When they left, they even said that they would reward me with 20000 magic coins! But I didn’t take it!”

Xiaoyu’s voice was filled with reluctance.

After all, he had been poor for such a long time, and 20000 magic coins was undoubtedly a huge sum of money.

Could it be that Xiaoyu’s death on earth was related to the phone?

That phone should have been dropped by Liu Hongyu.

But why did they still want to kill Xiaoyu after returning her phone?

An idea flashed across Xu Tianci’s mind, and he quickly asked, “Xiaoyu, have you checked your phone?”

Xiaoyu nodded. “Of course I did. However, other than a text message, there was nothing useful.”

It’s broken!

There must be some unspeakable secret in that text message.

In order to prevent the news from being leaked.

That was why the Liu family decided to kill Xiao Yu.

“Do you still remember the contents of the message?” Xu Tianci asked.

Xiaoyu frowned, “I remember it was: Three days later, midnight, at the foot of Luo Qiu mountain.” It’s just a few words, so ambiguous. Who knows what it means?”

After a short pause, Xiao Yu pouted and continued, “I really don’t know who would be so bored as to go to a place where magical beasts appear in the middle of the night. They wouldn’t choose to eliminate magical beasts in the middle of the night. They really have nothing better to do!

“Maybe they found treasure there?”

Hmph, how could there be a treasure there? It’s not far from Cloud City. If there was a treasure there, the city defense team would have found it long ago.

There was no mistake.

This was the time and place.

It was likely that this matter involved an unspeakable deal.

“Is there any information about the sender in the text message?”

Xu Tianci asked the question that he wanted to know the most.

“I didn’t pay much attention. It seems to be Ning Fan or something. I can’t remember the middle name.”

After racking her brain, Xiaoyu still could not recall the sender’s full name.

At the same time, Xu Tianci was also searching his mind for such a person.

“By the way, brother, Butler Zhao just came to inform me that I don’t have to go to the survey project. I’ve been chosen as the member of the city defense patrol team to assist in the defense!”

There was a hint of excitement in Xiaoyu’s voice.

Assisting the city defense team in patrolling was a good thing for Class 3 civilians.

If they performed well during the patrol, they could be left as supernumerary personnel of the city defense team.

As long as one’s performance was outstanding in the future, it would not be difficult to become an official member of the city defense team.

As a result, assisting the city defense team in patrolling became the best opportunity for the poor to get rid of their status.

In the past, Xu Tianci would have been happy for Xiaoyu.

However, two days before Xiaoyu’s accident…

Xu Tianci didn’t need to think to know that the Liu family must have played a role in this.

Perhaps they wanted to use this opportunity to get rid of Xiaoyu.

Thinking of this, Xu Tianci clenched his teeth so hard that they almost broke.

‘Since you’re so unkind, then don’t blame me for being ruthless.’

Logically speaking, with Xu Tianci’s current position in the mayor’s heart, he should have been able to get away with it.

If he stepped in and interceded, Xiaoyu might not need to join the patrol this time.

However, the city patrol was under the jurisdiction of the command of the command center, and the command center belonged to the Royal Court, so they skipped looking for the City Lord.

If the City Lord wanted to operate it, he would probably have to go through a lot of trouble.

Moreover, once the City Lord appeared…

The Liu family would definitely assume that Xiaoyu knew about their secret.

They would do everything they could to get rid of her.

It was better to kill the thief directly than to guard against it for a thousand days.

In the end, Xu Tianci decided to participate in the mission with Xiaoyu.

He didn’t believe that anything could happen to Xiaoyu with him around.

“Xiaoyu, look at this.”

Xu Tianci took out Xiaoyu’s proof of identity.

“This is… Brother, how did you do it?”

Seeing the name “Xu Qingyu” on the certificate, Xiaoyu’s beautiful eyes instantly widened.

“Hahaha!”

Xu Tianci smiled proudly. “I said I would help you solve your identity problem. Not only that, but I also want you to become a mage.”

Then, Xu Tianci flipped his palm.

Like magic, a purple fruit appeared in his hand.

“Brother, what fruit is this? it smells so good!”

Xiaoyu’s attention was immediately drawn to the arcane fruit.

“This is an arcane fruit. It can help you awaken your magic,” Xu Tianci explained.

He had also seen the arcane magic store in the system store.

The price was 1 million magic coins per piece.

The system had given him two at once.

Xu Tianci said that he could get as many of these missions as he could in the future.

The system replied, [In your dreams.]

It was as if there was some kind of magical power in it.

Xiaoyu was in a daze when she saw the arcane fruit.

It was as if there was only the fruit in front of her in her eyes.

When Xu Tianci wasn’t paying attention, Xiao Yu grabbed the fruit and threw it into her mouth.

In an instant, the magical elements in the world fluctuated violently.

Arcs of electricity surrounded Xiaoyu.

“This is… Lightning magic awakening?”

Xu Tianci was dumbfounded.

Lightning magic was a derivative spell of light magic.

It was an existence of a higher level.

Under normal circumstances, only a mage would have a small chance of awakening during their second awakening.

What’s wrong with Xiaoyu?

It was actually a mutated element on its first awakening.

Could it be because of the arcane fruit?

Right, the two fruits were of different colors.

The other one was black.

He thought that this one looked better, so he gave it to Xiaoyu.

If his suspicions were right, that fruit should be able to sell for a lot of money.
