Full-Time Magister: Dark Lord

Moreover, although this place wasn't provided by the government, they can continue to live here until they have a new place to live.

After all, while Bo City was destroyed, it's the government's duty to resettle its inhabitants. However, exchanging Bo City's houses for houses in Shanghai is clearly not an option.

Even the suburbs here are far superior to the houses within Bo City.

After returning home, Cao Ying learned that Xin Xia lived next door, which made her life less boring.

When she had nothing to do, she would go to play with Xinxia.

Cao Le and Mo Fan, of course, were both in seclusion, focusing on cultivation and meditation!

Both of them are now intermediate-level mages, but they can't cast intermediate-level spells. Even though they have improved, they are not much different from beginner-level mages.

After all, magic doesn't become stronger just because your strength increases.

Of course, his cultivation level improved, but not without its changes. Two months have passed, and with his increased control over things, such as basic magic, Cao Le has now reached a level close to the One Thought Star Orbit realm.

Even if it's just a tiny bit off, it's still a bit off.

As for the forty-nine stars in the dark star system, they are also nearing completion, with a total of forty-three stars already under perfect control.

...

That day, Cao Le had just finished his morning meditation and was preparing to cook for Cao Ying when his phone suddenly rang.

Upon picking it up and seeing that it was Tang Yue, Cao Le paused slightly.

He immediately began to carefully consider the matter!

Um...

If I'm not mistaken, it seems that Tang Yue's day of misfortune is just around the corner!

"Hello, Cao Le..." After the call was connected, a mature and sexy voice came from the other end, which was very pleasant to listen to.

"Teacher Tang Yue, I thought you wouldn't contact me anymore."

Upon hearing this, Tang Yue could easily tell that this kid was up to something. However, she didn't waste any words and said directly, "I'm on a mission in a town north of Hangzhou. If you don't have anything to do, come over."

Cao Le wasn't surprised that Tang Yue had asked him to carry out a mission.

“I’m cooking for Ying’er. I’ll come find you after she’s eaten,” Cao Le replied.

"If you come over, will Ying'er have someone to take care of her?" Tang Yue paused for a moment after hearing this before asking again.

"Mo Fan and his family are next door, so she won't go hungry even if I'm not there."

Cao Ying wasn't shy at all. Because her house was only separated from Mo Fan's by a wall, she would go over for meals almost every few days.

Although Mo Jiaxing wasn't particularly capable, he never cared much about trivial matters like eating and drinking.

He would even occasionally invite Cao Le to join him.

Cao Le wasn't embarrassed at all. To be honest, he had made a great contribution to Mo Fan's advancement to the intermediate level.

If he hadn't given him the Earthly Sacred Spring, even if he could advance to the intermediate level, he certainly wouldn't have achieved this much. Now, how could he possibly have the chance to quietly break through to the intermediate level here? How could he possibly have the chance to peacefully control the Stars here?

Of course, while offering benefits, they also brought Mo Fan into the sights of the Black Vatican...

But how can one be worthy of possessing a rare and precious treasure without facing some danger?

Come to think of it, I was also there to train him!

After preparing breakfast, Cao Le woke up Cao Ying, who was fast asleep.

This little girl seems to have been spoiled by Tang Yue; since she came back, she almost never gets up early anymore! She sleeps in until noon every day...

"Brother~ Why are you up so early today~"

Cao Ying looked like a baby who hadn't woken up yet and didn't want to move, which left Cao Le completely speechless.

"Sister Tang Yue is doing a task and needs your help, so you need to get up and eat, then go play with your sister Xin Xia," Cao Le said patiently.

Upon hearing that it was about Tang Yue, Cao Ying very sensibly got up and ran to wash up.

I initially thought I'd need to talk to them a bit, but it seems I was overthinking it.

Within minutes, Cao Ying had tidied herself up and jogged out, then asked, "Brother, when are we going to find Sister Tang Yue?"

"You want to go too?" Cao Le was slightly taken aback...

He finally understood: the reason this girl was so enthusiastic was because she wanted to go too!

"Of course! I haven't seen Sister Tang Yue in so long, I want to go see her!"

“No, not this time. This is a mission. If your sister Tang Yue can’t complete the mission, she will be punished. Do you want her to be punished for playing with you?” Cao Le refused directly.

What a joke! How could Cao Le let Cao Ying come along with such a golden opportunity!

Isn't this a bad thing?

Cao Ying was somewhat dissatisfied after being rejected so coldly... She pouted and looked unhappy.

"How about this, after your sister Tang Yue finishes this mission, I'll invite her to Shanghai to keep you company, okay?" Cao Le continued to coax.

Regardless of what happens later, Cao Ying still needs a glimmer of hope for now.

Really?

“Of course, when has your brother ever lied to you?” Cao Le asked.

Cao Ying thought about it... and realized she really had lied to her quite a bit!

But she still wanted to believe that what Cao Le said was true, and said happily, "Then go ahead, and remember to invite Sister Tang Yue to come and play!"

"After you've eaten, I'll take you to Uncle Mo's house before we set off."

"No need, I can go by myself," Cao Ying waved her hand.

Seeing her urging him to hurry back, Cao Le actually felt a little guilty.

He fooled the girl again...

Fortunately, after feeling guilty so many times, I stopped feeling it so badly.

The suburbs of Shanghai are basically bordering Hangzhou, so after Cao Le left home, following Teacher Tang Yue's instructions, he quickly arrived at a small town in Jiangnan, north of Hangzhou.

The town is called Xishui, which sounds quite charming. However, on the way there, Cao Le discovered that the town was full of cracked soil and abandoned fields, which was completely different from its name.

That's understandable, considering there are top-grade fire-type spirit seeds here.

38. Tracking

The town seemed to have been a decent tourist spot before, with some retro-style inns popping up. Following Tang Yue's address, Cao Le found "Youjian Inn" and immediately noticed a charming young teacher with an astonishingly S-curve figure sitting by the window. Two months had passed, and Tang Yue still exuded that irresistible allure that made teenagers excessively infatuated...

Those perfectly round buttocks, those proud and magnificent breasts... wow, absolutely stunning!

Tang Yue naturally noticed Cao Le's gaze, which was filled with a peculiar feeling. Turning back, she looked at him reproachfully and said, "Are you planning to stand there until dark?"

"Teacher Tang Yue is as beautiful and charming as ever." Hearing this, Cao Le finally moved and couldn't help but praise her.

"Humph~"

Seemingly thinking about what happened that day, Tang Yue glared at Cao Le with great displeasure.

Seeing this, Cao Le smiled and smoothly changed the subject, saying, "What happened to this town? Why is everything so unusually dry?"

Although he knew Cao Le was changing the subject, it was clearly still related to Tang Yue's purpose in calling him here, so he said, "You're quite observant. It's true what you said, all the water resources in this Xishui Town have dried up, just like the drought in the northwest."

"What's the reason for that?" Cao Le asked again.

“I’m not entirely sure. Apparently, similar strange things have happened in other towns as well. I’ve only found a limited number of clues, which is why I need your help,” Teacher Tang Yue said.

Upon hearing this, Cao Le looked at her and suddenly thought of something...

I remember Tang Yue telling Mo Fan that she needed a thunder mage, which is why she sought him out, right?

Now he tells himself that he only needs his help, without mentioning what department he is in.

Ultimately, Tang Yue just needed a clue to track down the person she was tracking.

However, Mo Fan, that bastard, not only obtained a top-grade spirit seed by virtue of his powerful aura, but also gained a closer relationship with Teacher Tang Yue.

Cao Le originally intended to bring him along, since the fire spirit seed here would be a great help to him.

But after thinking about it more carefully, Cao Le decided to forget it. This kind of guy who would only get in the way... well, he doesn't deserve it!

"What is it? Tell me. I would do anything for Teacher Tang Yue," Cao Le replied with a smile.

“My identity is rather sensitive, and I’m easily noticed. You’ll have to follow that person later. If all goes well, this guy who’s wanted by our Tribunal will have some answers.” Tang Yue didn’t stand on ceremony with Cao Le and pointed to a stylish-looking man outside the corridor window.

"Well, okay."

"Don't you want to know what this person does and what his abilities are?" Tang Yue was a little confused when Cao Le agreed without saying a word.

Is that so reckless?

"Your business is my business. For my beloved teacher, I don't care what kind of monsters or demons they are," Cao Le said, patting his chest.

"You shameless scoundrel..." Tang Yue glared at Cao Le, her delicate and angry expression exuding charm.

Of course, when Cao Le left, Tang Yue asked him if he needed the Book of Star Charts, and she had prepared it for him.

However, Cao Le shook his head.

Although he hasn't fully mastered intermediate-level magic yet, he hasn't used the star map books that Tang Yue gave him.

...

After that, Cao Le pretended to be a tourist and followed behind the vicious thug.

Even if Tang Yue hadn't allowed him to come along, he would have gone anyway. After all, following this guy might lead him to a spirit seed.

Along the way, he inspected the barren fields and politely inquired about some things from the old farmers sitting under the trees. Then he continued on his way.

Of course, Cao Le couldn't continue following at this point. Even using shadow magic would likely get him detected.

Even if the opponent doesn't have shadow magic, if you keep following them, the fluctuations of dark energy will definitely be detectable.

With his shadow elemental powers, he could also sense that Tang Yue was following him.

So, Cao Le asked the old farmer and learned the direction he had gone before Tang Yue appeared.

"That guy seems to be searching for the reason why this area is dry. According to this old man, there should be a spirit seed here. Teacher Tang Yue, you're a civil servant, you probably don't need this. How about I keep the spirit seed?"

He liked her, but even brothers keep clear accounts, and besides, Tang Yue hadn't really gotten involved with him.
