Full-Time Magister: Crimson Lion, the Strongest Divine Soul!

Chapter 15 Heading to the Capital, Jiang Yu

"You make that sound very righteous, but I know you didn't just act out of a sense of duty."

Tang Yue tilted her head slightly, her beautiful eyes fixed on Li Xuan, a faint smile on her lips.

The so-called responsibilities do not apply to Li Xuan at all, since he is not a native of Bocheng.

It is one's duty not to intervene, but it is a favor to intervene.

"Pretty much. After all, I've been here for quite a while, and I can't just sit by and watch demons destroy the city."

"Besides, this is nothing more than a mere Winged Wolf; does it even deserve my avoidance?"

Li Xuan waved his hand dismissively, a hint of disdain on his lips.

The Winged Wolf, a commander-level creature, had absolutely no chance of winning against the Crimson Flame Lion, which was gradually recovering to its peak; it was a complete rout.

"Yeah, it's just a piece of cake for you."

Tang Yue smiled and shook her head, her eyes full of admiration and appreciation.

Indeed, Li Xuan is a high-level fire mage, and even without mentioning that golden lion, he is far superior to her.

"Brother Li Xuan, are you there?"

"Enter."

The door was slowly pushed open, and Zhan Kongfeng walked in, looking disheveled. He was taken aback when he saw Li Xuan and Tang Yue were both there.

"Sit down first, Zhan Kong." Li Xuan looked up and gestured for the exhausted Zhan Kong to sit down.

It's clear that this leader of the Xuefeng Mountain military headquarters has been busy since yesterday, without taking a break at all.

"Phew~"

Zhan Kong breathed a slight sigh of relief, sat down on a chair, and rubbed his temples.

"Is there something wrong?" Li Xuan asked.

"On behalf of the entire city of Bozhou, I thank you!"

Zhan Kong suddenly stood up, gave Li Xuan a military salute, his eyes full of gratitude. He was able to get through this disaster safely thanks to this young man.

Li Xuan informed Li Xuan of the Black Vatican's plans and the passageway beneath the city.

"No need for that, it's nothing." Li Xuan waved his hand and smiled faintly, "If you want to express your gratitude, you can give me a practical reward."

"No problem!" Zhan Kong nodded seriously. "Our military won't let you help us for nothing."

"Hmm." Li Xuan didn't seem to care much about it.

Bocheng is a small place, so the compensation from the higher authorities is probably only around tens of millions.

This amount of money isn't even enough to buy a single Star River Vein, let alone the resources needed to upgrade a high-level Star River.

After a brief thank you, Zhan Kong left; he was extremely busy.

They needed to not only eliminate the demon wolves, but also tally the casualties and receive reinforcements sent from above.

"Li Xuan, it's time for me to leave too." Tang Yue gently brushed a strand of hair behind her ear.

The matter in Bo City is over, and it's time for her to return to Song City to hand over the details of this mission.

"Well then, see you next time," Li Xuan said with a smile.

"Um."

…………

Time flies, and several days have passed since the demon invasion. Those who were to leave have already set off.

Li Xuan was also preparing to go to the capital to quickly improve his cultivation with the help of Pang Lai's resources.

Without a background or resources, realizing his talent would be too slow, and he didn't want to regret not having enough knowledge when he needed it.

When you need strength the most, you lack it and think of begging the enemy to let you go.

This idea is not advisable.

People are more valuable in having self-knowledge.

Since there's an opportunity, we should seize it!

"Ah Xuan, are we going to that old man's territory?" The Crimson Flame Lion, perched on Li Xuan's shoulder, turned its head and grinned as it asked.

"Well, since I've agreed, of course I'll go." Li Xuan nodded.

"Hehe, that old man has a remarkable aura. Although he can't compare to the female fox, he's still a formidable opponent. I'll have him find me a worthy opponent to fight later."

The fiery lion excitedly waved its little paws.

Li Xuan smiled and patted the Crimson Flame Lion's little head. "You, all you know is fighting."

"You can only get stronger by fighting!" the Crimson Lion muttered defiantly. "It's so boring to stay indoors all day cultivating. It's so much more exciting to fight with a powerful guy."

"..."

Li Xuan shook his head helplessly. "Appropriate combat can indeed help improve your strength. But don't be too reckless. This place is not like the Divine Soul World. I can't protect you here."

"Tch, I'm that powerful, I don't need any protection."

The Crimson Lion proudly raised its head, but still nuzzled against Li Xuan's shoulder. "Don't worry, Xuan, I know what I'm doing."

The two bickered as they left Bo City.

At this time, Bo City had gradually returned to its former tranquility.

But traces of repairs can still be seen on the city streets, reminding people of a crisis that occurred not long ago.

-

Somewhere in the ancient capital.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

The lighting was dim, creating a rather mysterious atmosphere.

A figure in a red robe stood at the far end, toying with a glass bottle in his hand, which contained a brown liquid.

"You mean, a variable appeared in Bo City that completely ruined your experiment?"

Her eyes held a hint of amusement and contemplation, making it difficult to discern her thoughts.

"Yes, Lord Salang." A figure in blue robes knelt below the red-robed figure.

"Moreover, according to my investigation, that person is named Li Xuan, and he only appeared in Bo City a year ago, along with a golden lion with the potential to become a monarch."

"It was also the one that killed the Winged Wolf."

Salang was unconcerned about the setbacks in destroying Bo City, which was, in fact, not part of the original plan.

That was just a casual experiment.

"Here's the arrangement: have someone investigate their identity. If they can be won over, then do so; if not, eliminate them!"

Salang's expression was indifferent, but a hint of ruthlessness and nonchalance flashed in his eyes.

"Yes, Lord Salan!"

The figure in blue robes responded respectfully and then slowly withdrew.

Salang smiled and continued toying with the glass bottle in his hand, muttering to himself, "Li Xuan... and that golden lion, Bo City really is a place where dragons and tigers hide."

"However, whoever you are, don't even think about hindering my plans."

…………

The capital city, the former imperial palace.

Li Xuan brought the Crimson Lion to the Palace Magic Association and dialed the number using the contact information left by Pang Lai.

"Senior Pang Lai, I have now arrived at the Forbidden City in the capital."

"Hello, the teacher is resting. I am his student, Jiang Yu."

A gentle voice came from the other end of the phone.

Upon hearing this, a piece of information flashed through Li Xuan's mind.

Jiang Yu, Pang Lai's only disciple in the original storyline, possesses a Night Rakshasa as his contracted beast and has considerable talent.

After thinking for a moment, Li Xuan said, "Oh, it's like this, my name is Li Xuan."

Before Li Xuan could finish speaking, Jiang Yu couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "You're the Li Xuan that the teacher mentioned to me before?!"

"If there isn't a second Li Xuan, then it should be correct," Li Xuan said seriously.

"You can rest in the Magic Association's waiting area for a while, I'll come find you right away," Jiang Yu said hurriedly.

"Okay, thank you for your help."

Li Xuan hung up the phone and led the Crimson Flame Lion towards the reception area.

The reception area was decorated very elegantly, with soft magic carpets on the floor and exquisite magic handicrafts placed around it.

Li Xuan found a place to sit down, while the Crimson Flame Lion curiously paced around, occasionally touching the novel objects with its paws.
