Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 113 Subtle Pretense

"Wang Teng, you are really amazing. You were able to discover the truth of the matter just from a loophole in Chen Ying's words."

Lingling came to Wang Teng's side, her eyes looking at him as if he were a kindred spirit; intelligent people seem to have an intuition of mutual appreciation.

Zhang Xiaohou was busy setting up the tent. He had just packed it up a short while ago, and now he had to start setting it up again, although he didn't have any objections.

Mo Fan was chatting privately with Xin Xia, his hand gestures were particularly lewd, while Zhao Manyan seemed to be comforting Chen Ying.

"It's nothing, I just have some knowledge of magic."

Wang Teng, with Ding Yumin in his arms, lay comfortably on the folding chair. Sure enough, when you're out and about, having a gorgeous girl to hold makes all the difference.

"Your level of understanding is truly beyond the reach of ordinary people."

What do you think will happen next?

Lingling moved a small stool and sat down next to her, asking questions with a curious expression. She had a natural interest in these kinds of things.

"Why don't you try to see the problem from the perspective of the imposter?"

"Their goal is the Fire Calamity Fruit, but what's the use of the Fire Calamity Fruit? Once you understand that, you'll be pretty much set."

"Moreover, Chen Ying's role is definitely that of a pawn, and the places where this pawn is used are always prepared to achieve a goal."

"Who do you think will be the guardian of the Fire-Calamity Fruit?"

Wang Teng ate the grapes that Ding Yumin had thoughtfully given him; in this dry place, replenishing water was very important.

Juicy and tender grapes are the best choice, and they bought quite a lot before they arrived.

Lingling's mind immediately started working. That's how simple conversations are among smart people; Wang Teng had practically pointed her in the right direction.

Her expression kept changing, as if she had thought of something.

Before coming, she had consulted a lot of information, and based on Wang Teng's hints, she quickly figured it out; it was simply a vicious and ruthless scheme.

Yan Ji was born from the Fire Calamity Fruit. If Jiang Feng had survived the Fire Calamity, or even been saved by the Guardians...

What can save her? The Fire Calamity Fruit, of course. But then Jiang Feng will become the next Flame Princess, and the old Flame Princess will have to retire.

The imposter must have learned about this through some means and wanted to repeat the process to become the next Flame Princess in order to gain powerful strength.

The guardian is Yan Ji, who is very powerful. How can we break through Yan Ji's defenses and obtain the Fire Calamity Fruit?

Chess pieces! Using Chen Ying as chess pieces!

If I'm not mistaken, the current guardian is none other than the current Flame Princess Jiang Feng. Using her daughter to scheme against Jiang Feng is indeed the most likely way to succeed; it's a truly vicious scheme!

All of this is predicated on confirming that the person at the Zhao family's residence was indeed an imposter.

Then all this reasoning can stand, but the previous conversation had already exposed Chen Ying's defenses, so it is highly likely that it was an imposter.

Will Chen Ying be able to obtain the Fire Calamity Fruit? If Jiang Feng is the guardian, then she definitely will!

"That's why you said that once we enter Zhuoyuan Beijiao Middle School, we'll know the answer."

"You also want to confirm whether the Guardian is Jiang Feng?"

Lingling looked up at Wang Teng.

"So smart! No wonder it's Mo Fan's external brain!"

Wang Teng smiled and patted Lingling's head, ruffling her hair.

"What nonsense is this about Mo Fan's external brain?!"

Lingling angrily pushed his hand away, then picked a large handful of grapes and left.

"They really are just kids."

Ding Yumin chuckled and covered her mouth as Lingling picked the grapes. Seeing Lingling's cute and slightly angry expression, she found it extremely adorable.

After a while, the tents were set up, but it was still early, and the exact time of the fire was unknown.

So everyone started searching for treasure in the vicinity, but they didn't dare use the element detectors when they got close to the tents, lest they attract the demons.

After a day of treasure hunting, they only managed to collect a few fragments of fire-type spirit seeds. It seemed that the North Corner wasn't as rich as they had imagined.

That evening, a group of people gathered around the campfire, eating the food they had brought and chatting and laughing about their earnings for the day.

"It's a pity we didn't find any spirit seeds, only a few fragments."

Zhao Manyan was the first one who wasn't very satisfied. As a businessman, he was very good at calculating, and those few fragments were really worthless.

"The fire will probably come tomorrow. Only after the fire has irrigated the North Point will it become prosperous."

Chen Ying finally regained some of her energy and wanted to find the answer.

After Lingling's guidance, she roughly understood the situation. If the guardian was really her mother, then she would likely become an accomplice.

So she was also waiting, waiting to enter North Point and meet the Guardian to see if it was her mother.

She also began to doubt her husband, but Wang Teng's words completely woke her up.

If things are really as Lingling guessed, then she still has a chance to salvage the situation; it's not beyond repair.

In fact, she also had her own judgment, and she had already agreed with Wang Teng's speculation.

I'm also very grateful for his frankness. If the other party really just wanted to have some fun, then...

"Get a good rest tonight. There's probably going to be a big show tomorrow, so make sure you're well-rested."

"I've never seen a fire disaster either. Since it's described as a disaster, it must be incredibly spectacular."

Wang Teng was filled with anticipation; he had never seen such a grand spectacle before, with flames shooting into the sky.

"Aren't you afraid?" Mo Fan found it hard to imagine that Wang Teng felt no fear in the face of the deadly fire.

"Scared? Heh..."

"All fear stems from one's own weakness and ignorance!"

"When you settle down and focus on becoming stronger, you'll naturally stop asking such pointless questions."

Wang Teng's lips curled slightly upward, his words filled with an air of dominance over all directions.

Silence~

Mo Fan seemed to sense the overwhelming aura emanating from the man, a confidence that was fearless, brimming with wisdom.

This intangible and intangible thing is the most difficult to fathom, but it touches people very deeply, bringing a sense of oppression and a feeling of blockage in the heart.

Wang Teng, with his arm around Ding Yumin, whose face was flushed, left the campfire and turned to enter the tent.

It's certainly comfortable to show off to these guys, but it's even more comfortable to sleep with a soft, feminine girl in your arms.

Glug glug glug

Chen Ying clutched her chest. She was closest to Wang Teng and could feel his domineering presence most acutely, making her unable to resist immediately bowing down at his feet.

She couldn't stop her heart from pounding; if there weren't other people there, she would have gotten up and followed them inside immediately.

Zhao Manyan's face twitched. He was such a good actor, but so good that no one could argue with him. The other party certainly had the ability to back it up.

All the way here, they acted as if they were just enjoying the scenery, treating the terrifying Sand River as nothing, and killing general-level demons with ease without even blinking.

Looking at his cousin's flushed face beside him, as a seasoned lover, he knew perfectly well that her heart had been captured.

Even if Wang Teng only slightly expresses his intentions, his cousin Chen Ying will immediately offer herself to him.

His cousin is quite pretty; I wonder if Wang Teng is the kind of person who juggles multiple relationships.

Zhao Manyan's thoughts immediately drifted away. He liked playing around with women, so he always thought about things in that direction.
