Chapter 24 - The Eve of the Storm

Chapter 24 The Eve of the Storm

“What’s wrong? What’s the matter?”

Xu Tianci turned around and asked.

Chen Zitao scratched his head and asked in embarrassment, “Little brother, Xiaoyu’s combat talent is truly astonishing. I’ve discovered that she just started engaging in combat!”

Xu Tianci nodded.

While they were still in the battle, it was not hard to tell that Xiaoyu had just started fighting.

But why did Chen Zitao ask this?

“I knew it!”

Chen Zitao nodded. I suggest you buy her a virtual combat cabin when you return. As long as you register as a member of the combat house, she can train at home.

“There are all kinds of experts in the family of combat, and many mages train there.”

“Moreover, the virtual battle cabin has another advantage. It can store magic cores, and it will not delay the absorption of magic elements.

“Xiaoyu, if you register for combat home, remember to find me first. Let’s have another match!”

“Alright!” Xiaoyu agreed readily.

The little girl was still in a state of excitement when she left the troop association.

“Brother, will you buy that virtual battle cabin?” Xiao Yu asked.

“Of course, if we want to buy, we’ll buy two. Then we can also compare notes with each other!”

Xue Tianci pinched her cute little face and continued, “But we can only buy it after we return from the mission!”

“Mm!” Xiaoyu nodded.

Her beautiful eyes were filled with hope for a bright future.

It was already very late when they returned to the hotel.

Xiaoyu had wanted to meditate and cultivate, but Xu Tianci forced her to sleep.

She had to be energetic tomorrow.

He waited for Xiaoyu to fall asleep.

Xu Tianci filled the bathtub with water again. Since the hotel had no iron pot, he had to get into the bathtub.

He had learned all the basic skills that he could.

After that, he redeemed a large number of mystic fruits and upgraded them to E-rank.

At the same time, in the Liu family.

A young man was hitting a sandbag with sweat pouring down like rain.

This young man was the second young master of the Liu family, Liu Hongyu.

At this moment, his eyes were bright.

His gloomy eyes were filled with passion.

‘Tomorrow!

‘I’ll definitely solve all the problems tomorrow!

‘Father!

‘This time, I’ll definitely prove to you that I’m no worse than big brother.’ Thinking of this, Liu Hongyu punched the sandbag heavily.

Blood dripped from his gloves to the ground.

However, Liu Hongyu did not seem to feel any pain at all.

“Young master! It’s already very late. It’s time to sleep!”

The one who spoke was a pretty young woman in a maid’s uniform.

She was the female manager in charge of Liu Hongyu’s daily life.

Although the young woman’s tone was respectful, there was a trace of fear in her eyes.

This Liu Hongyu could be said to be a ruthless person.

He was not a mage or a modified warrior.

However, he was extremely harsh on himself in terms of training, even to the point of risking his life.

The young woman knew that this was because the old master favored the eldest young master too much.

The young master was jealous of the new student, which caused his personality and style of doing things to be distorted, especially to people like them who served him.

Liu Hongyu would hit and scold women at every turn and even abuse them.

Hearing the woman’s reminder, Liu Hongyu nodded and retracted his fist.

“Have you arranged everything?” Liu Hongyu asked.

The young woman nodded. “Everything has been arranged. That little girl will report directly to the city’s defense guards tomorrow. As long as she steps into there, all her actions will be under our control!”

“Very good!” Liu Hongyu pondered for a moment and continued asking, “How’s the testing of my chariot, in particular, the weapons?”

“Young master, everything is ready!”

“I know. Get ready. I want to take a bath!”

“Then, young master, do you still want to…”

“This…”

Liu Hongyu looked at the extremely alluring woman. Although his eyes flashed with a burning desire, he still shook his head and said, “I have something important to do tomorrow. I’ll deal with you when I’m back, you little vixen!”

“Alright, young master. I’ll be waiting for your triumphant return!”

The young woman was at least gentle. However, he heaved a long sigh of relief in his heart. He had dodged the calamity today.

As for the future?

Ah! Let’s talk about it in the future!

His gaze was fixed on the young woman’s exquisite and graceful waist until her figure completely disappeared from his line of sight.

Liu Hongyu raised his head and looked at the sky.

At this moment, he felt so lonely.

This time, he wanted to get things done cleanly.

He wanted those who looked down on him to get to know him, so long the only little girl he loved died.

No matter what happened the day after tomorrow, the outside world would not associate it with the Liu family.

He would also awaken his magical elements by then. With his level of hard work, he didn’t believe that his achievements would be lower than his big brother’s.

As long as he could become a mage. Not to mention a lowly girl; even if there were hundreds or thousands of people, he would still kill them!

The next day.

Xu Tianci slowly opened his eyes at dawn.

Although the system had shown that his water element level could no longer be increased, he was still very confident that it would improve.

However, after a night of absorption, he could still feel the water element in his body gradually increasing.

After changing into a new set of clothes, Xu Tianci pushed open Xiaoyu’s door. She was sleeping soundly. There was a faint smile on her lips as if she was dreaming of something happy.

Although it was different from where he lived in his previous life, he still remembered seeing his sister on the morning of her accident.

His sister from back then was just like how she was now, with a faint smile on her lips. This time, Xu Tianci would not let the tragedy repeat itself.

He took a deep breath.

From now on, the operation to save his sister had begun.

He went out to buy two sets of breakfast before finally wakinghis sister up.

After the meal, the brother and sister put on all the protective equipment they could use. Then, Xu Tianci asked Xiaoyu to wear normal clothes over the armor. In this way, although they were slightly bloated, no one would believe that they were wearing magic equipment worth hundreds of millions.

He then bought two bottles of concealment potions from the system store. He and Xiaoyu each drank a bottle.

From now on, the two of them had become ordinary people in the eyes of outsiders. “Brother, we’re both mages. Why do we still need to wear these clothes?” Xiaoyu asked, confused.

“We have to keep a low profile. This is the only way we can be safe!”

After hearing her brother’s words, she still didn’t quite understand. However, Xiaoyu still nodded her head seriously.

After that, the siblings went through the safe passage, pushed open the hotel’s back door, and went straight to the assembly point.

Half an hour later.

The brother and sister arrived at the sixth camp of the city guards.

At the entrance of the patrol registration office, a group of people formed a long line. These people held all sorts of weapons and were more or less wearing some equipment and armor.

Like Xiaoyu, they were here to join the patrol.

After an hour, it was finally the Xu siblings ‘turn.

The manager in charge of the ranks looked up to Xu Tianci.

“Why don’t you get some defensive equipment?” he asked, puzzled.

“It’s too expensive. I can’t afford it!” Xu Tianci replied. “This is the form. Fill it out!” The manager sighed as he handed over a form.

“Although it’s just a defense, it’s still life-threatening. Take care!”
