Chapter 16.3 – The Fake Boyfriend Plan

Shi Jiu got up and said, “Good, in the future, if there is anything you are not clear about in the Association, you can come to me. From the color in the sky, it’s getting late. As your Elder Brother, I will not disturb your rest. From now on, we are like brothers. I’m going first then.” Shi Jiu handed over the key in his hand to Nian Bing as he selfishly calculated in his mind. He knew that Nian Bing’s magic level excelled compared to his. Since he didn’t have the heart of Long Ling, it was much better for him to become fellow brothers in the Ice Moon Empire Mage Association as there would be more benefits in the future.

Nian Bing stood up, and saw Shi Jiu off to the doorway. He said with a smile, “Big Brother, you also rest early. You don’t need to bother with this little brother.”

Suddenly, Shi Jiu had a mysterious smile and softly said, “I heard Teacher Li De say that you are very interested with the library’s resources. Let me tell you that the first three floors only have a few common magic resources, that’s all. Only the fourth floor contains our Association’s secrets. Only that place has extraordinary and terrible magic restrictions that even the Magic Scholars in the Association are unable to enter inside.”

Nian Bing’s heart stirred. He asked, “Big Brother, to tell me such things, could it be that you have a method to go inside?”

Shi Jiu told him the words he planned in advance, “Didn’t I tell you just a moment ago that I have a special status in the Association? I have followed Master since I was a child, and I have grew up in the Association. There was one time when Ling’er and Master entered the fourth floor. Considering the fact that I am Master’s disciple, if there comes an opportunity, maybe I can bring you along… but this is a secret and you cannot talk about it. Inside the room there are all kinds of exceptionally complex records, and they are unusually hard to comprehend. In reality, entering there isn’t too big of a deal. Ling’er and my current meditation methods came from there. Our cultivation progress is many times faster than that of an average person. From now on, we are family. Big brother definitely won’t forget about you in the future if I gain any benefits from that place.” As he finished speaking, Shi Jiu mysteriously smiled at Nian Bing before he turned around and left.

As he walked away, Nian Bing also smiled. ‘Is this a way to bribe me?’Looks like this Shi Jiu was thinking of forming a clique for his personal interest. In the future, as long as he was tempted by a benefit, there would be no secret left about the fourth floor of the library. It was unknown what kind of special magic records would be there. As he thought about it, Nian Bing’s heart couldn’t help, but burn with passion. In the case that he could learn a powerful magic, revenge against the Ice God’s Pagoda would no longer be just a dream. Walking to his room, Nian Bing carefully took out his Morning Dew Knife from the pocket at his chest and hid it under his mattress. Looking around at his surroundings, his hand held his new magic wand, Icicle Rod, as he went out of his room. He first needed to return to Pure Wind House. Leaving for such a long time, he hoped Uncle Li would not suspect him. He hoped his luck would not be too bad, and Ming Yuan would not decide to go out and try to find him, which could be troublesome for him.

Thinking about the probability of it happening, Nian Bing hastily and quietly departed from the Mage Association. After confirming that no one was following him, he took off his magic gown. He bought a piece of square cloth on the street and wrapped his gown and his magic wand in it. Afterwards, he returned to Pure Wind House at mach speed.

As he was about to reach the back door, he saw a slender red figure. His whole body immediately froze. “Mi-Miss… Why are you here?” This time, he wasn’t faking his shock.

Xue Jing turned back and looked at Nian Bing with a sour expression. “You are very late! I heard from Uncle Li that you went out at noon, and only now, have you returned. You didn’t even tell me about it and went out to play around.”
