Full-Time Magister: Dark Lord

The Tarim Basin is located in Xinjiang, between the Tianshan Mountains, Kunlun Mountains, and Altun Mountains. It is a vast basin with the famous Taklamakan Desert at its very center!

Although Cao Le knew that there was a flame here that could help Yan Ji improve, all he knew was that there was a flame here, but he really didn't know anything about the specifics.

At times like these, little Lingling can naturally make a great contribution.

Inside the Qingtian Hunting Grounds.

Seeing Cao Le and Mu Nujiao arrive, Lingling greeted them, "Would you like something to drink?"

"Do you want to make your own drinks?" Cao Le countered.

Lingling paused, looking at him with some newfound respect, and then said, "Then please do as you see fit."

As she spoke, she continued working on her laptop.

Ultimately, Lingling and Cao Le weren't very close.

Even though he knew a lot about this little girl, she didn't know much about him, so there wasn't much to talk about.

Mu Nujiao felt a little embarrassed, while Cao Le quietly watched her type away.

"Cao Le~ Should we go back first and come back after they've finished their research?" Mu Nujiao suggested.

"It's alright, no rush. This little girl is very smart; she'll have no trouble figuring out the route," Cao Le replied.

You'll never know how outstanding this little girl is until you meet Lingling.

Even some veteran hunters might not be able to compare to her.

While Lingling was focused on her research, she received a call from Mo Fan. It seemed that a hunter group they had helped last time was also going to the Taklamakan Desert.

Then, they successfully joined a hunter group.

After making the decision, Cao Le and Mu Nujiao prepared to leave.

With him and Mu Nujiao, plus Zhang Xiaohou and Zhao Manyan who were tricked by Mo Fan, they could have gone there on their own if they weren't unfamiliar with the area.

After all, they were already a high-level mage team, and they were top-notch in both offense and defense.

Just then, Mo Fan's phone rang again.

It seems his father has been kidnapped?

Upon learning of this, Cao Le immediately thought of the Lu family. However, they were simply playing with fire.

It seems that while some things have changed, others remain unchanged.

Although Mo Fan's bead wasn't fully charged, the demon could still use it if needed. Besides, this kid also had a vampire protecting him.

After hearing the news from Lingling, Mu Nujiao frowned slightly and said, "The people from the Tribunal arrested Yu Ang, and now they've arrested Mo Fan's father. Something's not right."

Upon hearing what had happened, Mu Nujiao immediately sensed that something was amiss.

“Something’s definitely not right. It’s because someone’s trying to set him up. Who told Mo Gouzi to be so brainless?” Cao Le shrugged and said.

"Could it be that the Lu family wants to lure him into a fight with the court so they can use that as a pretext to get rid of him?" Lingling immediately realized.

“Yes. Otherwise, the other party would have led him to the North Rain Mountain Trial Meeting…” Mu Nujiao replied.

"Oh no! With Mo Fan's foolish nature, wouldn't something bad happen if he went like this?" Lingling exclaimed in alarm.

"What could possibly happen? The Lu family has outsmarted themselves. Although Gouzi is universally disliked, his contributions to the country are undeniable. This time, their attempt to lure him there using this method is a waste of time unless they can suppress the demon within him."

Upon hearing what Cao Le said, Lingling hurriedly said, "But his demon bead isn't fully replenished!"

"Cao Le, should we go help him?" Mu Nujiao asked.

She also felt that, given Mo Fan's personality, he was definitely going to fail.

"Fine, I'll go. You two wait here," Cao Le replied.

"How could this be?" Mu Nujiao was somewhat dissatisfied upon hearing this.

So Cao Le intends to handle this matter himself, and doesn't want her involved?

This won't do.

She may not be very strong, but she can still help if she goes!

"It's not because of your strength, it's just that it's inconvenient for you to appear. Otherwise, it might cause unnecessary trouble for your Mu family," Cao Le added.

Although the Mu family and the Lu family weren't exactly on good terms, they still had frequent interactions.

If she gets involved in this situation, it will really cause a lot of trouble.

That's why Cao Le wouldn't let her go.

Mu Nujiao thought about it and agreed...

She has now gained freedom from her family because of her appearance at the National Games.

If she were to lose her freedom because of this, it would be a loss that outweighs the gain. Besides, since Cao Le has already gone, it doesn't seem to matter much whether she goes or not.

...

...

North Rain Mountain...

"Lu Zhantian, do you know what you're doing?!" Night Hawk coldly questioned.

"What I do is none of your business. I am the presiding judge of Beiyushan. Now get out of my way," Lu Zhantian said without any politeness.

"..."

Just as the two were talking, Mo Fan arrived with a gloomy expression.

Provoked by Lu Zhantian, he naturally didn't care whether it was a trap or not and took action directly.

Cao Le also appeared at this moment. However, watching Mo Fan and Bora fight with ease, it seemed that he didn't need to intervene at all.

While they were fighting, Cao Le went to the place where Mo Jiaxing was being held.

I've certainly eaten at their places quite a bit, so I can't just sit idly by when they're in trouble.

Most importantly, no matter what, Xinxia was raised by Mo Jiaxing, and for that reason alone, he couldn't just sit idly by.

When they came out, the battle was over.

When Mo Fan saw Cao Le, he was clearly a little stunned.

"Take my dad back with you. I need to go to the Lu family's place," Mo Fan said.

"Are you sure you don't need Dad... cough cough, don't you need your older brother to come with you?" Cao Le was about to say "no" but after seeing Mo Jiaxing, he took back his words.

There's nothing we can do; his real father is right here, and he's still calling himself "dad"—that's a bit much.

"No need, I can handle it myself," Mo Fan said, shaking his head.

This time, they're going to cause trouble at the family of a congressman. Cao Le's Parthenon matter has just ended, and he doesn't want to cause any more trouble for him.

Moreover, he wasn't truly powerless, and Mo Fan felt that someone would come and give him a satisfactory outcome.

That's why he didn't let Cao Le come along...

...

298. What does it matter to me, Cao, whether others are happy or not?

Cao Le didn't say anything more about this.

The Lu family does indeed have a powerful figure.

However, it's just a Red Devils team.

Mo Fan can almost be considered the nemesis of the Red Devils.

Most importantly, a fight is unlikely to break out if he goes to the Lu family, so there's nothing to worry about.

Immediately afterward, Cao Le led Mo Jiaxing back to the Qingtian Hunting Grounds.

Mo Jiaxing was actually quite worried, and he even thought that the matter was over and done with, since he hadn't been hurt at all.

However, Mo Fan was right; he had contributed a great deal to this country, whether it was the Magic Association, the Inquisition, or even the military.

Therefore, he absolutely cannot tolerate such a thing happening!

Cao Le could understand it; if you put yourself in his shoes, if someone were to harm Cao Ying, he probably wouldn't mind letting darkness engulf the world...

...

Not long after bringing Mo Jiaxing back to the Qingtian Hunting Grounds, Mo Fan also returned.

Zhu Meng and his team acted quite quickly, and soon those who had shady dealings were dealt with.

Then, Mo Jiaxing had to return to Bocheng, because for him, the great city of Shanghai was not a place he wanted to stay.

Bocheng, a small city, is more suitable for him.

Then, Mo Fan saw him off, while Cao Le led Mu Nujiao back to the apartment.

Life is so comfortable without Ai Tutu being such a third wheel!

Although Ai Tutu has unique talents, well... how should I put it?

No phone call...

Yeah, there's just no spark...

A few days later, after the Hunter Mage Corps was ready, they notified Mo Fan, who then informed them.

After the group met at the Qingtian Hunting Grounds, they headed towards the airport.

What gave Cao Le a real headache was that Jiang Shaoxu, that little brat, showed up right when they arrived at the airport...

The moment Mu Nujiao saw Jiang Shaoxu, she instantly bristled like a docile kitten...

"What a coincidence! I heard you're going to the Taklamakan Desert. I'm going there too." Jiang Shaoxu stated his purpose directly after seeing the group.

"Why are you everywhere? Nobody calls you, you just come on your own."

"Where am I supposed to look for something? And who told you no one invited me?" Jiang Shaoxu said, smiling as she looked at Cao Le.

That somewhat infuriating smile left Cao Le completely speechless.

Because Mu Nujiao also looked over.
