Su Jingyang woke up later that evening, he opened his misty eyes and found Ling Li sitting by the bed, his expression shining with unconcealed joy.

Su Jingyang thought he was happy because of the Lin Ji Small Pavilion. Su Jingyang sat up with Ling Li's support and was about to speak, but Ling Li couldn't wait to tell him the great news. The impact of this news made Su Jingyang unable to recover for a long minute.

Su Jingyang still felt it was bit incredulous, with his hair all tangled, he said, "A-are you serious? Ah-Xuan has a chance of being cured??!"

Ling Li nodded solemnly and told Su Jingyang what Ah-Yi had said.

Su Jingyang raised his hand and patted the quilt fiercely. His eyes were bright and he was ecstatic: "If that's the case, that would be great!!!"

This way, Ah-Xuan and Ling Li could be freed, how can Su Jingyang be unhappy?

Ling Li had always known that Su Jingyang loved Ah-Xuan, but seeing now just how excited he was made him know that he was no less happy than himself. He couldn't restrain the turbulent throbbing in his heart and clenched his hand tightly.

Su Jingyang asked: "Wait, you said... a wizard?"

"Yes." Ling Li looked at him and said warmly: "When I was very young, I heard that the Rong clan stayed in power because of their powerful magic. I never thought that it would someday be helpful to Ah-Xuan."

"Then, when do we leave for Rongcheng? Now?" Su Jingyang was originally not superstitious, but the existence of the system had convinced him that there were many unknown forces in the universe. What's more, this world was originally a novel. Since the author, the god of the world, wanted the Rong clan to be powerful magicians they must've given some cheats.

Su Jingyang opened the quilt and was about to get up, Ling Li helplessly stopped him and covered him with the quilt again, saying: "Don't worry, Ah-Yi said that it may take a while, he said that the wizard was in meditation. And... he said he wasn't 100% sure, we shouldn't be happy too soon."

Su Jingyang said: "You know, there are no absolutes, but hope is better than hopelessness."

Su Jingyang gradually calmed down after the surprise. He put away his smile and asked Ling Li curiously: "Huh? By the way, how could Ah-Yi know the wizard of the Rong clan?"

Su Jingyang was very worried whether it was just a lie from Ah-Yi to please Ling Li, so he deliberately used these words to coax Ling Li's heart away. But this sort of lie wasn't easy to expose and Ah-Yi didn't look like that sort of stupid and reckless person.

Ling Li said: "He is from Rongcheng but it's merely his friend who knows the Master Sorcerer. When the time comes, he will help."

"Hmm?" Su Jingyang opened his eyes wide when he heard this. His first reaction in his mind turned out to be, "He's from Rongcheng, so is his full name... Rong Yi¹?"

Ling Li couldn't help but chuckle slightly, he then said: "Not necessarily, I heard that only the City Lord's lineage has the surname Rong."

Su Jingyang hummed², "It turned out to be like that."

When he heard Ling Li say Rong clan, he thought that he was referring to all the people in Rongcheng, but it seemed that he was just referring to the nobility of Rongcheng. That wizard must've been the subordinate of some nobleman. Su Jingyang couldn't help but start to worry. Was Ah-Yi certain he could let the wizard come and cure Ah-Xuan? Maybe he would just view them as a waste of time...

Seeing him frown, Ling Li stayed quiet besides him. Su Jingyang glanced back as Ling Li tidied up his messy hair.

Su Jingyang pursed his lips and smiled, his eyes curved up and his bright smile was filled with sweetness.
