Full-time Mage: Heavy Water Returns to the World

……

The cool, clear voice carried an untouchable purity that evoked no disgust. However, the owner of that voice drew everyone's attention.

Why did Xiu Lu volunteer to accompany these people from China? Is this still the aloof and proud Parthenon maid?

They had been together for so long, and the waitress had always remained aloof and detached, like a fairy untouched by worldly affairs.

Why are you being so proactive now?

They looked in the direction of the sound and saw that Xiu Lu had already stood up and was walking towards the group from China. Her steps were slow and graceful, and the fragrance she brought was refreshing. However, her eyes were fixed on one direction.

And that direction was none other than Nan Yi, the leader of the Chinese team, the water mage who had only ever used the Water Defense skill.

what's the situation!
The Greeks were bewildered. What was wrong with their maid? Had she been bewitched?
Even Teacher Anthony was taken aback for a moment before looking at Xiu Lu.

"Miss Xiu Lu, what's wrong?"

Upon hearing this, Xiu Lu turned her gaze to her teacher: "I grew up in Parthenon, so I should be more familiar with this place than Teacher Anthony."

"This"

Anthony was speechless for a moment. Xiu Lu was right. This was the place where he grew up. In terms of familiarity, he, from the Ministry of Education, could not compare to him.

But everyone knew that wasn't what Anthony wanted to ask, and Xiu Lu certainly knew that too, but she didn't seem inclined to explain.

At this point, Anthony couldn't refuse, so he could only nod and say, "In that case, Miss Xiu Lu, would you mind showing our Chinese guests around the Parthenon with me?"

"Ah."

Xiu Lu nodded slightly and walked at the front of the group with Anthony.

"What does she mean?" Han Li leaned closer to Dongfang Linlin and whispered, "I've noticed her staring at Nan Yi ever since the competition ended. Is she planning to sneak into his base?"

Dongfang Linlin looked at the elegant figure in front of her with a strange expression, unable to explain why.

Her intuition told her that Xiu Lu probably didn't mean that, but she was definitely concerned about Nan Yi, though she didn't know why.

Han Li looked at the figure in front of him and shook his head.

"No, since Miss Qingxuan isn't here, I'll be the protector! I can't give this green tea waitress any chance."

The two were speaking very softly, and they were at the very back of the line, so much so that even Qin Mo, who was in the row in front of them, couldn't hear them.

Although Bai Mei heard it, she was still savoring the battle she had just fought and didn't pay attention to what was said in detail.

Instead, the elegant figure at the very front of the group paused, turned her head and glanced at Han Li. Her cold face was expressionless, but since both women were mind-based mages, their eye contact seemed to say everything.

The two women stared at each other for only a moment before returning to normal. Nan Yi, who was in the second row of the line, only noticed that Xiu Lu glanced behind her but didn't pay much attention.

He naturally noticed Xiu Lu's attention, but he didn't sense anything strange in Xiu Lu's gaze. On the contrary, he felt that Xiu Lu's series of suspicious behaviors were intentional, as if she was trying to cover up some other purpose.

For the rest of the journey, Anthony led everyone on a tour, exploring every corner of the Knights' Temple, explaining its rich history in detail. He was indeed very well prepared.

Xiu Lu didn't say much along the way, as if she were there for a visit.

"This is the Palace Master's room, but we can't just go any further."

"That is..."

"."

Anthony introduced everything one by one, and everyone listened very attentively. Nan Yi, who was also visiting Parthenon for the first time, also showed an expression of admiration.

As expected of Parthenon, many of its architectural designs can only be described as ingenious, leaving one in awe.

Suddenly, Xiu Lu's cold voice rang out beside Nan Yi.

"I wonder if Mr. Nan Yi has time for lunch? Would you like to have lunch with me?"

Xiu Lu didn't lower her voice intentionally, so everyone present could hear it clearly. Even Anthony paused in his explanation, but no one dared to interrupt or ask questions. Anthony continued speaking, while Nan Yi looked at Xiu Lu, who had somehow appeared beside him, wondering what she meant.

Xiu Lu's eyes held an unreadable meaning, but she smiled slightly and parted her pink lips.

"The location is the Temple of Faith. I will be waiting in the side hall of the Temple of Faith."

Xiu Lu stopped talking after saying that, as if she didn't care at all whether Nan Yi agreed or not.

Everyone looked shocked.

what's the situation!
Is this a blatant act of extending an olive branch and making overtures?

Although Parthenon did not require his maids to be single, this was still too abrupt, especially since Anthony knew about Xiu Lu's background.

How could Xiu Lu so easily fall for someone else?

The others in China were speechless. Even Bai Mei looked at Nan Yi and Xiu Lu with surprise and confusion.

Did she miss something?

Han Li was the only one who looked angry, but Xiu Lu was still there, so she couldn't say anything.

After saying this, Xiu Lu stopped and bowed slightly to everyone.

"I'm sorry, I have received an urgent assignment and need to leave first. I'll have to leave the rest of the place to Teacher Anthony."

"Huh? Oh, it's nothing." Anthony came to his senses and nodded in reply.

Given what he just said, Xiu Lu's so-called mission now seems rather unconvincing, but no one has called him out on it.

Only after Xiu Lu left did Han Li say angrily, "A temporary mission? I think she went to order food! What a green tea b*tch!"

After saying that, she quickly moved closer to Nan Yi: "Nan Yi, you mustn't be bewitched by this green tea b*tch. She doesn't just want food, she wants to eat you up!"

Hearing Han Li's anxious tone, Nan Yi, who was initially shocked and hesitant, felt a little amused.

"Don't worry, your SK-II Facial Treatment Essence won't run away."

Seeing that Nan Yi knew everything, Han Li felt relieved, but still asked one more question.

"Are you still going to have lunch with her?"

"emmmm"

Nan Yi pondered. Just now, he was shocked and hesitant because of Xiu Lu's invitation to be with a beautiful woman, but because Xiu Lu conveyed two words to him through telepathy when she spoke.

Salam.

That's right, it's the name of Salam, one of the seven cardinals of the Black Vatican.

Apart from that, Xiu Lu did not reveal any further information.

Salam is the one who extended the invitation.

As for whether Nan Yi would keep the appointment, she didn't seem worried at all.

This is what shocked Nan Yi. The fact that Xiu Lu was able to find him and throw Salang out at this crucial juncture made Nan Yi unsure of how much intelligence Xiu Lu actually possessed.

Mingming's plans and all his own plans were carried out in secret; there wasn't even a publicly issued plan document.

He wasn't sure of Xiu Lu's motives, but since he had already extended an invitation, he had no choice but to go.

"go."

"what?"
