But she leaned on a broken crutch—one that her master had kicked in the North Sea, and Bai Mei hadn't been willing to replace it.

He forced himself to stand up straight.

Sword cultivators cannot fall; even if they die, they must die standing.

"not bad."

After making a comment, Jiang Si slowly exhaled.

Three eggs of calamity, followed by countless members of the Holy Temple. These were the recently joined Calamity Beasts, possessing magical power comparable to those at the Half-Step Bloom stage.

Almost all of them were consumed.

Those calamity beasts have all been drained, leaving only empty Seeds of Lamentation.

In the end, they had to rely on the power of a miracle seed.

If it weren't for the fact that Bai Mei had opened one eye at the end, her perception would have been affected.

He should be the one lying on the ground now.

Even so, when the filthy magic in his right hand was destroyed by the sword energy, it was still covered in blood.

Bai Mei's control over magic was almost as precise as his own.

Rock candy, Yu Mo, or perhaps that iris.

It's impossible for me to have pushed myself to this point.

"There has been progress compared to before."

No sooner had she finished praising Bai Mei than Qian Jing flew over, calling out, "Teacher!"

She had no choice but to keep a straight face.

While checking Bai Mei's injuries, Qian Jing stepped in front of her, and although somewhat frightened, she still said fiercely, "Give back the Miracle Seed! Otherwise, the Qingyun Sect will not let you off!"

Ruoyun also walked over and stood in front of Bai Mei, "We've already obtained the Miracle Seed, isn't that enough?"

Bai Mei and Qian Jing were both looking at Ruo Yun.

Jiang Si glanced at her as well. "So you're planning to give up on joining the Holy Church?"

Ruoyun immediately shook her head, "No, I still plan to join the Holy Temple. But, the Holy Temple isn't some organization that kills innocent people indiscriminately, is it?"

"You guessed right, we have no interest in the lives of ordinary people."

Jiang Si put away Bai Mei's miracle seed and strode outside.

"As for what to do with the rest, that's up to you."

After Jiang Si left, Ruoyun turned around and looked at her teacher and friend with a complicated expression.

The rain started to get heavier.

Qianjing pulled Bai Mei and hid under the eaves to avoid the rain.

The three of them stood there in silence for a long time.

I don't know how much time passed, until the thunder sounded, Ruoyun took a deep breath and said:

"Don't worry, teacher, I will definitely find a way to get your seeds back. Although Jiang Motu seems a bit cold, he is not a bad person in reality."

Upon hearing Jiang Motu's name, Bai Mei lowered her head, covered her mouth, and coughed twice.

I instinctively reached into my sleeve and found nothing, so I just pressed down on the cuff.

"It's alright." After a long while, Bai Mei adjusted her voice and said softly, "It doesn't matter if I can't get it back. I've become too reliant on the seed; perhaps it's time to lose it and cultivate properly."

"Ruoyun!" Qianjing's voice trembled with tears. "How could you do this? Our teacher has been so good to us, and you just left with a stranger like that. This is betrayal!"

“I know!” Ruoyun sniffed and stood in the rain. “Of course I know, but I’m not suited for the Qingyun Sect. I was never suited for the Qingyun Sect in the first place! My teacher also said that I can never become a true disciple of the Qingyun Sect. I have no talent. If I stay in the Qingyun Sect, I will only be an ordinary magical girl who can’t do anything for the rest of my life.”

"I don't want that, teacher. My wish to become a magical girl will never come true. I don't want that!"

"Aren't you afraid that the Holy Temple is lying to you?"

Having been beaten by her master and calmed down, Bai Mei asked softly, "What should I do if I get scammed?"

"If I've been deceived, it means Ruoyun isn't suited to be a magical girl, and even less suited to the Qingyun Sect. If the Holy Temple is a scam and I can't change anything, I'll give up being a magical girl, throw away the seed, and become an ordinary person."

Ruoyun wiped the rain off her face. "Absolutely not. I won't cause you any trouble, teachers. You don't need to worry about me or come looking for me."

"Idiot, how could I not worry about you!" Qianjing cried. "We've lived together for so long! We became magical girls together, joined the Qingyun Sect together, and promised to become inner disciples together! Come back here! Ruoyun!"

Ruoyun, who had turned her back to the two as they left, paused briefly in the rain. She turned her head slightly and glanced back at her crying friend. "Crybaby, take good care of the teacher from now on..."

Seeing Ruoyun turn her head away without looking back, Bai Mei sighed.

He simply patted Qianjing's head and said, "Don't cry."

"Go and get my ketchup and eye drops."

……

"Wow, twins, right? Phew, did we miss something big?!"

The twins, panting heavily, rode their bicycles to Jiang Si's side, holding an umbrella in their hands. They glanced at the spot where the sword energy had just erupted and said, "You're so mean! You deliberately put on a show while the twins were too late. I'm never playing with you guys again."

Jiang Si glanced at her car. "Where did you get this?"

"Pictured on the roadside."

"Send it back."

"Hey, I picked it up from a car thief. I can use what he stole, right?"

"Send it back."

"Okay, okay, I got it. You're so long-winded, Jiang Si~"

Although they didn't see the main event, the clever twins had already guessed what would happen.

It should be pretty much as agreed: pretend to fight Bai Mei, and then use Bai Mei's miracle seed to go undercover.

The most difficult part of this scenario is figuring out how Bai Mei can lose to Jiang Si without it seeming fake.

After all, that guy Chi Lian would definitely use the power of the Gu worms to spy on the whole process, and if he revealed a flaw, it would be a huge failure.

Looking back, Bai Mei and the other two were still chatting, while Jiang Si showed no intention of lingering and strode away. After thinking for a moment, Shuang Sheng decided not to join Bai Mei's group and followed Jiang Si.

After all, she still had to help Jiang Si join the Witch's Guild; it was a task given to her by Lady Bing Tang.

I had no choice but to reluctantly give up watching my senior sister make a fool of herself.

Before long, they had crossed two streets and were quite far from Bai Mei's side.

At first, the twins didn't take it to heart, but seeing Jiang Si walking faster and faster, until she was practically running, they realized that the twins were a different story.

My heart skipped a beat.

What's going on? Why the rush? Is he trying to create an opportunity to be alone with himself?

Oh no, oh no, could Jiang Si be plotting something with the twins?

The twins are so cute, he must have had wicked thoughts about them long ago.

It's just that it's only now that it's finally showing its fangs.

Oh no! Even though the twins can beat him, what if they falsely accuse her of seducing him in front of Shion?

The sect leader would definitely trust his lover more than himself, right?

Are we just supposed to endure this humiliation and let him do whatever he wants?

Lady Rock Sugar, the twins are going to become dirty girls...

While he was lost in thought, Jiang Si took out a crystal ball.

Using corrupt magic, he awakened the crystal ball, leaving the twins completely stunned.

How is he so skilled?

However, when Chi Lian appeared, it was difficult to speak.

Jiang Si, still wearing his tattered mask, took out the white rose seed and showed it to the other person: "This is the miracle seed of that white magical girl."

Chi Lian's expression remained unsurprised, as if she already knew. She simply scrutinized Jiang Si carefully. "What about that magical girl? Aren't you going to kill her?"

"I handed it over to my subordinates to handle."

Chi Lian opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she shook her head. "Never mind, that's fine. You did very well, Jiang Mo Tu."

The twins next to them almost burst out laughing.

What the hell is Jiang Mo Tu?!

Jiang Si was naturally uninterested in her praise. "Reward: Speed."

"Of course, I will send you the methods for creating the Calamity Beast and the Calamity Egg. You already have the method for controlling the Calamity Beast. If you are interested, I can also tell you the advanced methods for using the Filthy Magic."

Chi Lian tilted her head, her smile undiminished. "A talent like you is exactly what our Witch Association needs. Please wait a moment; the relevant memory knowledge needs to be approved by the person in charge before it can be unlocked."

The twins next to him clenched their little fists, breathed a sigh of relief, and then revealed a completely victorious smile.

The Witch's Guild's techniques for creating Calamity Beasts and Calamity Eggs have always been well controlled.

Firstly, only regional leaders like Chi Lian and the captain would know, and secondly, they couldn't be forced to reveal it.

Because the relevant memories are sealed, the witch's curse ensures that these memories will not easily leak out.

The Witch Society has never been a harmonious and loving family. Once someone develops and researches a related technology, they will monopolize the technology and apply for a patent from the higher-ups of the Witch Society.

Although the creation of the Calamity Beasts and Calamity Eggs has been distributed, the patent period has not yet expired, and a patent fee must be paid and an application for open memory must be submitted each time they are used.

As for opening it to others, not only is an application required, but a large insurance fee must also be paid.

The insurance premium is not just money, but also the contribution value made to the Witch Association over the years. Only those with a high enough contribution value are eligible to apply to open up the relevant technology to others.

If the two technologies are leaked, in addition to the insurance premium being deducted, the Witch Society will also face further accountability.

In severe cases, they are used as materials to create calamity beasts; I've seen twins do this too.

The blood cross mark gradually appeared on the crystal ball. Chi Lian said, "Put the blood cross mark on your forehead."

After Jiang Si did as instructed, she felt a slight stinging pain on her forehead, and soon a bloody cross appeared on her forehead.

This is why the Witches' Guild has insisted on using crystal balls all these years.
