"?"

Xue Nai was stunned for a moment, and then found that Qin Bin was also looking at Xiao Bai with a little confusion, so she hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"If I say I don't want to, I'd be lying. However, even though I know almost nothing about magic, I can guess that thing must be very precious, precious beyond imagination."

To put it bluntly, Yukino didn't dare to accept this offer, not knowing whether it was given with good intentions or not.

Xiaobai still smiled, "I know you are worried and doubtful. Let alone my plan, this opportunity is right in front of you. I am curious whether you have the courage to take the risk.

Well, the opportunity is given to you, do you dare? "

"..." Yukino lowered her eyelids, not knowing how to respond for a moment.

On the other side, Qin Bin, although silent on the surface, was thinking in his heart.

——The temptation is mixed with provocation. With Yukino’s strong character in the original work, she is not lacking in this kind of recklessness.

——However, what choice will this real-life version of Yukino make...

Thinking so, Qin Bin continued to drink tea quietly. He was also curious about the result.

At this moment, Yukino was really hesitant.

Because just as Xiaobai said, regardless of Xiaobai's plot, the opportunity is right in front of her, an opportunity for her to change her destiny, right in front of her, and within her reach.

change destiny?

Yes, Yukino is very clear about her future destiny.

There are only her and her sister in this generation of the Yukinoshita family. Whether it is her or her sister Haruno, it is basically destined that one of them will marry out and the other will become the new generation head of the Yukinoshita family.

Regardless of whether one marries out or becomes the head of the family and recruits a son-in-law, one can basically not escape the fate of an arranged marriage.

Of course, it would be different if she and her sister could be cruel enough to ignore the family's rise and fall and just care about themselves.

But humans are not plants or trees, so how can they be heartless?

It is not something that everyone can do to abandon almost everything, including family affection, in exchange for so-called "freedom".

Furthermore, if the Yukinoshita family continues to prosper, and if the redundancy is high enough, it will really allow her and her sister to be relatively willful.

Unfortunately, let alone local powerful families like the Yukinoshita family, even the top powerful families in Tokyo cannot truly prosper forever.

Therefore, there are basically only a few options left for her and her sister's future.

That's why she felt that this was her 'fate' and wanted to change it.

Before Qin Bin and Xiaobai appeared, she had thought about changing this "fate" little by little through her own unremitting efforts. However, her abilities were limited, and she was not the kind of genius who would make a name for herself overnight. She even had the idea when she was depressed that if she took away everything brought by her parents and the Yukinoshita family, she would be nothing.

That feeling of exhaustion made her realize that if she just continued to work hard as usual, she would not be able to accumulate enough capital to change her "fate", at least not in the short term.

Chapter 297: Yukino's Choice - Part

Yukino is well aware that her time is very limited. Apart from anything else, her sister is often arranged to go on blind dates by her parents.

Although my elder sister is always obedient and looks down upon me, and even uses excuses such as her studies and age to make excuses, how long can she keep doing this?

It is basically certain that in two or three years, when my sister graduates from college, the results will come out.

Her sister is only three years older than her. In other words, in six or seven years, she will also face that moment of decision.

Before that, as long as she remained mediocre and did nothing, the possibility of having the best of both worlds would completely disappear.

At that time, the only option left for her was to break up with her family or to obey.

Even though neither of these two paths is what she wants, she has no choice but to choose one.

But now, Xiaobai's obvious "good intentions" made her gradually lean towards the side of drinking poison to quench thirst.

After all, as long as she becomes a magician and possesses power over ordinary people, things for her and her family will become extremely simple.

After a moment of silence, Xue No looked up at Xiao Bai and said, "Madam, what can I give you?"

Xiao Bai, who was sipping tea leisurely like Qin Bin, said at this moment, "Just serve me for ten years. Of course, it is based on the passage of time in the Eternal Continent. Well, the Eternal Continent is where Xiao Bin and I live."

Serve...

Yukino frowned.

She was no fool, and she knew very well that this word was just said lightly, and in fact its scope was so broad that it could encompass everything.

However, she was also very clear that she couldn't ask any more questions at this moment, otherwise it would seem a bit out of touch with the times.

She is stubborn, but that doesn't mean she is completely inflexible.

But there was one thing she finally said.

"If it is a service that does not violate the ethics and morals of today's society, I am happy to serve you, Madam."

After saying this, Xue Noi was also very nervous, until she was sure that Xiao Bai and Qin Bin's expressions did not change, they just looked at each other, and Qin Bin nodded slightly, then Xue Noi breathed a sigh of relief.

There was no way. Yukino couldn't be sure whether these two magicians who were superior to ordinary people would be dissatisfied with her procrastination and even ignorance, and thus have opinions about her and her family.

What will be the consequences of being hated by a being that has power over ordinary people?

Yukino didn't know, but she could imagine it, yet she didn't want to think about it.

But then, Xue Noi felt that her statement was a bit redundant, because she suddenly felt that with Qin Bin watching over her, this dragon girl who seemed to be just like her own sister, a little lawless and fond of making trouble, would most likely not let her do anything that was against the law.

Let’s not talk about what Yukino is thinking, let’s look at Xiaobai.

After getting Qin Bin's nod, Xiaobai turned back to look at Xue Nai, "From now on, you will learn from me. You can call me teacher, but you are not yet my disciple. If you fail to meet my expectations in the days ahead, I will still teach you, but it will only be a teacher-student relationship, not a master-disciple relationship."

After hearing what Xiaobai said, Xueno was slightly stunned, as if she couldn't understand what was going on for a moment.

At this time, Qin Bin explained, "In the Eternal Continent, the relationship between teachers and students is similar to the relationship between teachers and students in schools here. No matter how close they are, there is a limit. The relationship between master and apprentice is a relationship of inheritance, which is similar to the concept of 'teacher is father, apprentice is son' in our East Asian Confucian cultural circle. It is a relationship comparable to blood relatives."

"I see..." Yukino nodded suddenly. It wasn't that Yukino didn't understand the Confucian master-disciple culture, it was simply because she had been studying in the UK for the past two or three years and had only recently come to high school. Her habitual thinking was still in the European and American mode, so she didn't react.

"Now that you understand, what should you call me now?" Xiaobai said with a smile.

"...Teacher?" Yukino called out tentatively.

"Yeah, very good." Xiaobai nodded with enjoyment.

Seeing Xiao Bai like this, Qin Bin asked with a strange look on his face, "You didn't suddenly want people to call you teacher, so you took in students on a whim?"

"Yes~ As expected of Xiaobin, he really understands me." Xiaobai answered as a matter of course and decisively.

Qin Bin: “…”

Yukino: “…”

Just when Qin Bin and Xue Nai were speechless, there was a knock on the door of the box.

The shop owner and the waiter came instead, and they served the subsequent dishes.

However, when the store owner and the waiter were serving the dishes, Yang No also came back from outside with the two of them.

Yes, two people.

One of them is Shizuka Hiratsuka, who gives people a very cool feeling.

Shizuka Hiratsuka is very easy to recognize, especially the capable black women's suit and white long coat, which basically perfectly restores the original outfit.

Following behind Yono and Hiratsuka Shizuka was a beautiful girl with an expressionless face.

The girl was wearing the uniform of Sobu High School. She had a good figure and good looks. Her hair was waist-length and she had a white headband on her head. Her long legs, which were covered in black stockings and had graceful curves, made Qin Bin and Xiaobai think of someone at the first time.

At this time, Yang Nai came forward and said with a smile, "Mr. Bin, Madam, this is Xiaojing's student, Kasumigaoka Shiyu. Xiaojing brought this student Kasumigaoka to the publishing house to do some work, but it was not convenient to leave the student halfway, so..."

Qin Bin shook his head to show that he didn't care, "It's okay, it's more fun with more people."

"That's great." Yang Nai still smiled, but in fact he was secretly relieved.

In fact, she is just like Yukino. No matter how relaxed she appears on the surface, she is inevitably restrained and nervous deep down.

There was no way. They had never come into contact with magicians before, so they didn't dare to apply ordinary people's common sense to them.

Then, Qin Bin smiled and spread his hands to Hiratsuka Shizuka and Kasumigaoka Shiyu, saying, "You two are welcome. Please take your seats."

"Since Mr. Qin said so, Shiyu and I are shameless to disturb you." Shizuka Hiratsuka quickly responded with a smile.

In fact, Hiratsuka Shizuka really wanted to grab Haruno and scold her at this moment.

The reason she came here to eat was because she thought there were only Haruno and Yukino here. But after she arrived, Haruno told her that there were two other important people there that even Haruno had to be cautious in dealing with. This made Shizuka Hiratsuka want to turn around and leave on the spot.

But Yang Nai said again that it seemed that the two big shots had heard of her name, already knew she was coming, and also had opinions on her side, which made her at a loss.

Shizuka Hiratsuka is not stupid. She is an existence that Yono has to deal with with great caution. Her identity is definitely not simple.

Although the Hiratsuka family has some background, it does not mean that they can offend or insult such an existence unscrupulously because of some unimportant things.

So no matter how reluctant Shizuka Hiratsuka was, she had no choice but to follow Haruno in.

Before coming in, he repeatedly reminded Kasumigaoka Utaha behind him to just eat and listen more and talk less.

There's nothing I can do. My student has a really vicious tongue and a particularly bad temper.

If Shizuka Hiratsuka hadn't had to accompany her student to sign a contract as a guardian in the afternoon, and she wasn't worried about her student waiting outside alone, she really wouldn't have wanted to let her student attend such a dinner.

Of course, the more important thing is that when Yang No didn't give her any arrangements, she just dragged her in, and Kasumigaoka Utaha followed her in, which is why it turned out like this...

Chapter 298: Shiyu's Suspicion - Part

But the truth is that Hiratsuka Shizuka was worrying for nothing.

Kasumigaoka Utaha is neither stupid nor mentally ill, so how could she cause trouble to others?

So nothing 'pleasant to be seen' happened next, but with Yang No, an expert at creating atmosphere, there, the atmosphere became pleasant for both the host and the guests.

During this time, Yukino looked at Xiaobai who was still floating, and then looked at Hiratsuka Shizuka who looked normal, and Kasumigaoka Utaha who didn't even smile and just buried her head in eating. She knew that the two of them were not marked as immune to the cognitive interference spell.

Looking at Qin Bin, who was sitting at the table, and seeing him chatting and laughing politely with Hiratsuka Shizuka, who were just like people from the society, Yukino felt even more relieved.

——No matter how unreliable your teacher is, at least your teacher's husband is reliable. No matter how bad the future is, there will always be a limit...

Thinking in this way, Yukino gradually became relaxed, even more relaxed than ever before.

After lunch, everyone felt satisfied and happy.

Even though Yukino, Hiratsuka Shizuka and Kasumigaoka Utaha were not used to authentic Chinese Sichuan cuisine at first, and their expressions were distorted by the spiciness, the charm of Sichuan cuisine is that as long as you are not allergic and have the courage to try it, you will soon be addicted to the extreme and unforgettable taste bud impact. Of course, it feels great while eating, but it will be even more "refreshing" when going to the toilet the next day, especially for people who eat less or who are eating so much spicy food for the first time, they will definitely feel "desperate".

Fortunately, this table of Sichuan cuisine is slightly spicy, which allows Yukino and her friends who have never had, or have rarely had, authentic Sichuan cuisine to "get started" and slowly enjoy this unique delicacy, and the aftereffects are not that exaggerated.

In short, after having lunch in a very pleasant atmosphere, Shizuka Hiratsuka went ahead to settle the bill on the pretext of welcoming international friends and playing the role of host, and then the group walked out of the Chinese restaurant.

When Hiratsuka Shizuka and the usually quiet Kasumigaoka Utaha were saying goodbye to Qin Bin and the others, Xiaobai floated in front of Kasumigaoka Utaha with a smile on her face.

Of course, in the eyes of Kasumigaoka Utaha, a super beautiful, cute, quiet and elegant rich girl was approaching her in a friendly manner and looking at her with a kind smile.

When Yang Nai saw Xiaobai like this, although he didn't know what he was going to do, he just smiled along.

But Xueno frowned and looked at Qin Bin subconsciously.

After Qin Bin noticed Xue Noi's gaze, he responded with a comforting smile that said "don't worry".

Yukino paused for a moment, then nodded subtly to show that she understood.

She didn't know why, but she always felt her face was a little hot.

——This should be... the spiciness of the dishes just now has not subsided yet...

While Yukino was becoming more and more lost in thought, Xiaobai had a stack of Japanese light novels in his hand, and handed it to Kasumigaoka Utaha.

"I heard that you are a writer. This novel is quite interesting. Maybe it can help you."

Xiaobai's words made Kasumigaoka Utaha slightly stunned. Of course, she was mainly curious about where Xiaobai took out the stack of novels. She didn't seem to see Xiaobai carrying a bag or anything.

Not only Kasumigaoka Utaha was like this, but Hiratsuka Shizuka was also like this. However, Hiratsuka Shizuka didn't think about it too much and just thought that she didn't notice that Xiaobai had brought a stack of novels with her.

Although it was a bit strange that Xiao Bai took out the novel, and it was also strange that he suddenly gave the novel to her, but Kasumigaoka Utaha still had to express her opinion, "Thank you, but how can I..."

"Don't say that. Just take it and remember to read it."

Xiaobai interrupted Kasumigaoka Utaha's polite response and stuffed the stack of novels over to her. After Kasumigaoka Utaha subconsciously took it, Xiaobai gave her a playful smile and then turned back to Qin Bin.

Qin Bin smiled and nodded to Shizuka Hiratsuka and Utaha Kasumigaoka as a farewell, then took Xiaobai and the Yukinoshita sisters to the other side of the street.

After Qin Bin and the others had gone far away, Hiratsuka Shizuka put away her social smile, and while taking out a cigarette and lighting it, she said to Kasumigaoka Shiyu, "You did a good job, Shiyu. You don't know how worried I was before."
