Full-Time Magister: My Elements Evolve Infinitely

Chapter 55 The Lost Legacy

half an hour.

Lin Yu's thoughts returned to normal after a moment of distraction.

He was now certain that this thing was related to a certain totem beast, but Lin Yu did not have any information about a totem creature that matched it in his mind.

This should be a totem creature that has not yet been discovered.

"What's wrong? Are you familiar with this tiger?"

Seeing Lin Yu staring blankly into space with a serious expression, Bai Suwei asked urgently.

Feeling the fragrant breeze on his face, Lin Yu realized that he and the beautiful teacher were face to face. After sitting up straight, he smiled awkwardly, "I'm sorry, teacher, I was just too curious."

"It's alright," Bai Suwei said softly, then asked again, "Are you familiar with this tiger?"

Seeing Bai Suwei's expectant look, Lin Yu shook his head. "I've only ever seen this on unearthed artifacts. This is the first time I've seen it in real life."

Upon hearing Lin Yu's words, a hint of disappointment flashed in Bai Suwei's eyes.

Noticing Bai Suwei's disappointed expression, Lin Yu was somewhat puzzled.

Logically, if this really is a totem token, she shouldn't be asking herself if she knows about it. Even if she does know that she doesn't understand it, she shouldn't be disappointed.

Shouldn't their mission be to protect the totem beasts? Wouldn't it be better if nobody knew?

After thinking it over, Lin Yu decided to test Bai Suwei again, since a totem beast is an extremely powerful combat force.

Lin Yu looked at Bai Suwei with an innocent and curious expression. "Teacher, what else do you know about this musical instrument?"

"I feel that it may be more than just a musical instrument."

Bai Suwei didn't answer Lin Yu's question immediately. She slowly stood up, turned to look at Lin Yu, and asked, "Could you take me home?"

Lin Yu hesitated for a moment, "Wait a moment, teacher. My summoned beast is still over there. I didn't let her come over earlier because I was afraid she would scare you. I'll take her back to the dimensional space."

Bai Suwei was not surprised that Lin Yu was a mid-level mage.

She remained calm and nodded slightly to Lin Yu, indicating that she was okay with it.

Lin Yu nodded symbolically and walked towards a dark, unlit area in the distance.

Lin Yu didn't know when Xiao Lan had returned. It was only through the contract that Xiao Lan reminded him that she had come back.

From the shadows, Xiao Lan revealed her true form, scrutinizing Lin Yu with a serious expression, her azure eyes filled with questioning.

Lin Yu was about to say something.

The sound of a xun being played again came from behind.

Just like before, Xiao Lan was once again lost in thought after hearing this sound, as if the flute music had some kind of magic.

Seeing this, Lin Yu was horrified.

The previous time, he didn't notice Xiao Lan's abnormality at first, so his feelings weren't very obvious.

What could possibly cause this young female dragon, who already possesses "warrior-level" strength in her juvenile stage, to exhibit such an abnormal state?

And it's not even the real thing. It's just a musical instrument that might be a totem or symbol.

What secrets does Bai Suwei hold?

Why would a male scaly demon specifically seek her out?

Was it a coincidence? Or is she really different from ordinary people?

It seems I really need to go and check on her home.

Pulling himself out of his thoughts, Lin Yu glanced at Xiao Lan and directly opened the contract space to teleport her back.

After doing all this, he put away the solemn expression on his face and slowly walked towards Bai Suwei.

In the lamplight, Bai Suwei, dressed in a white dress with her long hair flowing, was engrossed in playing the xun (a type of ancient Chinese wind instrument) with both hands. Only after she finished playing the entire piece did she realize that Lin Yu had returned.

"Sorry, I got too engrossed in it just now. Once I start, it's hard for me to stop."

She gave an apologetic smile, quickly concealing a look of disappointment on her face.

Lin Yu took everything in without saying anything, but nodded slightly and said, "Let's go, teacher, I'll take you back."

The two did not speak again on the way.

Bai Suwei's residence was near this park, actually very close. It wasn't far to her place, and like the male scaly demon before her, it was an apartment.

"Come in." Bai Suwei opened the door and made an inviting gesture.

Lin Yu did not refuse and followed her into her residence.

The lights came on.

Lin Yu noticed that her room was very simple and tidy, painted entirely in white, with basically no decorative items other than daily necessities.

After inviting Lin Yu into the house, Bai Suwei left him in the living room and went into the bedroom herself.

A moment later, she came out carrying a very antique-looking box.

"Didn't you want to know how much I actually know about the Xun? It's all here."

She placed the box on the coffee table, walked over to the sofa behind it, and sat down, inviting Lin Yu to join her with her eyes.

The old wooden box looked very old and clashed with the decor of Bai Suwei's room.

Lin Yu hesitated for a moment, then sat down on the sofa, but slightly further away from her.

Bai Suwei glanced at Lin Yu, a gentle smile that perfectly matched her pure and innocent temperament, then opened the box and took out two books, one of which was very old and somewhat damaged.

The other book also looks quite old, but it is relatively well-preserved.

She handed the very old book to Lin Yu.

After Lin Yu took it, he began to look through it with some curiosity. However, he could only recognize the general meaning of many of the characters, as they were all very ancient pictographs.

Seeing Lin Yu frowning and struggling to read, Bai Suwei placed her hands on her knees, her eyes fixed on the wooden box that didn't quite match the overall decor of her room, and slowly said, "The book records a battle or a myth."

It tells the story of an era we don't know about, and how a tiger fights against other wild beasts to protect a tribe.

Later, the tiger defeated the beasts but was also injured, so the tribe worshipped the tiger.

After some time, a large fireball fell from the sky and landed not far from the tribe.

Although there were no casualties, the tribal elders felt that the place could no longer be inhabited and had no choice but to relocate. A woman responsible for feeding the tigers saw an oval-shaped stone as she passed through the crater created by the fireball.

As the tribe ventured further and further away, their food supplies dwindled rapidly. The tigers would occasionally venture out to forage for food themselves, and in doing so, they would bring some back for the tribe.

The woman responsible for feeding the tiger used a tooth that fell out when the tiger was recovering from its injuries to carve an oval stone she found near the fireball crater into a "xun".

If a tribe is attacked while the tiger is out, playing the xun (a type of ancient Chinese wind instrument) will cause the tiger to appear.

Over time, whenever the tribe played the xun (a type of ancient Chinese wind instrument), even if the tigers didn't appear, the wild animals attacking the tribe would scatter in fear. The xun was also passed down by the woman responsible for feeding the tigers.
