"Therefore, please allow me to refuse."
Yang Xiling's narrow eyes widened instantly, and an inexplicable sense of oppression seemed to get out of control. Although she quickly realized what was happening and suppressed it, a trace of pressure still lingered towards Li Hui.
She valued Li Hui too much, and even momentarily broke down after he rejected her, to the point that instinct came to mind.
"Oh no!" Yang Xiling quickly looked at Shan Lin, who did not disappoint her. While pretending to cough, she used magic that the little witch could not perceive to block her.
Only Jiang Kehan looked at them and Li Hui with slight suspicion, as if she sensed a magical force passing between them.
But Shan Lin found it hard to believe. She looked at Li Hui in silence, and before she could stop him, that oppressive aura had mysteriously disappeared.
It should be noted that the Great Witch's aura is far stronger than that of some so-called divine realms.
Li Hui winked at her, a mysterious smile on his face.
Shan Lin looked at the other person in silence, when an unbelievable idea suddenly popped into her mind.
If, before becoming a witch, the other person's strength was already equivalent to that of a great witch, then does that mean...?
She seemed to understand a little about where Li Hui's extraordinary talent came from. She knew that Li Hui did not have the memories of before she became a witch, but she also knew that some instincts do not need to be remembered.
The other person's past may have exceeded everyone's expectations.
"I'm sorry, I lost my composure." Yang Xiling said apologetically, taking out a business card from her pocket and handing it to Li Hui.
"You can use this to contact me if you need anything. I will promise you something as compensation. And if you change your mind, you can also use this to contact me."
The names and deeds of the Great Witches cannot be recorded on the internet. Simple words, under their great power, also possess a power that transcends the ordinary.
Therefore, their communication with each other relies more on this special calling card—a unique entity maintained by its own magic and flesh.
It can be activated with magic to summon a temporary phantom of the opponent, and it is quite valuable.
Finally, Yang Xiling looked at the three of them sincerely and spoke.
"You have an enviable friendship."
Li Hui squinted as he took the business card and smiled.
"I forgive you, just for that last sentence."
Chapter 165 Enlightenment and Improvement
Holding the business card in my hand felt like holding a piece of water that was still rippling; the texture was wonderful, and it was very light.
Its surface is blank, like the starry night sky, deep and mysterious.
Jiang Kehan curiously leaned closer, and just as she was about to reach out and touch it, she saw countless stories emerging from the business card.
Her eyes looked a little blank, but she was quickly drawn to the scene inside.
It was as if she were observing a mural covered in mud, washed by time, and still clearly visible despite its mottled appearance; an indescribable sense of epic grandeur filled her heart.
These stories are fragmented, but the protagonist is always Yang Xiling. It's as if she tells the most magnificent story of her life in the simplest of words.
Li Hui gently tapped Jiang Kehan, bringing her back to reality, and spoke with a slight smile.
"The great witches do not just possess simple great power; what they have experienced, what they have shaped, and what they have persisted in are the foundation that gives them their strength."
Jiang Kehan admitted that she had been somewhat presumptuous.
From the moment Jiang Kehan met Shan Lin, even though her instincts told her that she was in danger, Shan Lin's kind demeanor, gentle attitude, and even occasional playfulness made it difficult for her to maintain a sense of awe.
Isn't this just like the older sister next door in a child's eyes?
But from the story that had just been vaguely revealed, Jiang Kehan saw the words "rise and fall".
These great witches are nothing like gentle older sisters; they are practically walking history, old witches whose true faces are impossible to discern!
"Hehehe." Jiang Kehan pulled her head back, reminding herself that what she saw was only the tip of the iceberg, and their true faces were far more terrifying than she had imagined.
But she didn't show much admiration, not because she was particularly brave.
Instead, no matter how powerful the other party is, if they still share a "bloodline" with you, they are all called witches.
Perhaps this is the meaning of civilization. Jiang Kehan suddenly realized something. She felt the magic gradually intensifying and couldn't help but close her eyes.
At that moment, it was as if the tide was washing over the beach, and everyone except Ariel turned their attention to Jiang Kehan.
"This child seems to be a promising talent."
Shan Lin raised an eyebrow and spoke, and even Yang Xiling, who was standing next to her, nodded in agreement.
"Geniuses always attract each other, don't they? But you think highly of her?"
Shan Lin rubbed her fingers, then suddenly smiled. Instead of answering directly, she turned to look at Yang Xiling and said...
"Why don't you try recruiting this person too? Maybe that will be the most unexpected surprise."
Yang Xiling gave a wry smile, said nothing more, and instead used her magic to envelop Jiang Kehan, like a thin veil.
"Forget it, Li Hui lost all motivation to recruit others after rejecting me, and besides..."
She looked at the three people sitting in a row and felt a pang of sadness.
"Perhaps they will shine unexpectedly, and even replace us."
All I can do is give her a push, like I am now.
Jiang Kehan had an epiphany because of the business card Yang Xiling gave her; in a way, the other party could even call her a teacher.
Fortunately, Yang Xiling went all the way to help, using her magic to create a special environment to help Jiang Kehan gain something deeper.
"Isn't that the meaning of our persistence?" Shan Lin chuckled. Unlike Yang Xiling, who was a competitive dueling witch, Shan Lin, as an official witch, was the one who was happiest to be surpassed.
"It's also the best time in my heart." She looked at Li Hui and Ai Li'er and continued jokingly.
"You could also trouble your dear Miss Yang Xiling. She is very patient, at least with you."
Yang Xiling looked at Shan Lin helplessly. She understood that Shan Lin was subtly implying that she had almost hurt Li Hui, but she couldn't do anything about it, as she also felt guilty.
"If I have time, I'll help you with some small things, but don't push your luck."
Li Hui and Ai Li'er exchanged glances and gave each other a high five in tacit agreement. Although they didn't say anything, their blatant smugness made Yang Xiling's lips twitch.
What kind of trouble have I caused... Yang Xiling covered her face. Now she has lost both her wife and her army. If Gu Qingci finds out, she will be laughed at for half a year.
Aier raised her little hand, looking expectantly at Yang Xiling as she spoke.
"Um, actually, the three of us have formed a society. Could we invite you to be our consultant?"
Her words startled Yang Xiling, who looked at this unusually bold little witch with some surprise.
"Well, that's not impossible, but you'll have to put my name on it."
Yang Xiling nodded with feigned modesty, her eyes showing more satisfaction with Ai Li'er.
The meaning of "二II尔依氵溜方" is actually quite clear: she wants to replace the "trivial matter" that she herself has defined vaguely with this condition.
What pleased Yang Xiling the most was that if she was listed as a member of the other party's organization, then if the three of them became successful in the future, the others would naturally attribute some of the credit to her.
The second part of the poem, "栮捂气韭 (三) 2", can be considered as making up for some of the regrets she had in not being able to recruit Li Hui.
Ariel smiled like a little fox and nodded quickly: "Of course, after all, being a counselor is quite a hassle for you."
The so-called consultants are actually teachers who answer some normal questions for them, but the Great Witches have a very high standard, and they can give different answers to certain conclusions.
This is a win-win situation, meaning the association wins twice!
Yes, if Yang Xiling is listed as an affiliated figure, then the "Branch-Binding Bird Society" will have a powerful backer, even if it's highly questionable, it could still attract a lot of investment.
Using someone else's power to intimidate you is also a kind of wisdom!
Meanwhile, Jiang Kehan, who was in a state of sudden enlightenment, was unaware that Ai Lier had secretly betrayed her, after all, she was the president of the society.
If there are any investments or special commissions, she, the laborer, will be the first to be involved.
At this moment, she simply felt her inner self and the magic gradually resonating, and finally returned to peace.
Jiang Kehan couldn't help but smile and open her eyes.
Her control over magic has finally improved. Although it's not as abnormal as Li Hui's level, it's at a normal level, rather than being a weakness.
"Hmph, why are you all looking at me like that?"
Jiang Kehan looked at the others with a puzzled expression, the most obvious being Ai Li'er. Her gaze towards Jiang Kehan was slightly apologetic, yet also carried an eerie serenity, as if she were looking at someone's tragic future due to overwork.
It was exactly the same as last time when she was forcibly dragged to deal with academy affairs... Jiang Kehan couldn't help but shudder, her vigilance heightened.
"You didn't sell me out again, did you?"
Ailier looked at Jiang Kehan with some shyness and said something that silenced her.
"Actually, they sold the three of us as a package deal."
"Quickly tell me what just happened!" Jiang Kehan pounced on Ai Li'er with her claws outstretched, and the two started playfully fighting.
Shan Lin and Yang Xiling shrugged, amused, and said goodbye to Li Hui before leaving.
"Since you've already made your decision, we won't disturb you any longer. We look forward to your speech."
"Hmm." After saying that, Li Hui looked helplessly at the two bickering and left the private room.
Chapter 166 We have the most ridiculous matchmaking system
After the exhibition match, following the normal procedure, Li Hui returned to the training ground once again.
At this moment, a high platform appeared in the center of the training ground, and a giant cat ball, two meters tall, lay in front of it.
It is completely black, but unlike a normal cat ball, it looks like a strange transparent gel, and you can clearly see the gel inside slowly flowing.
Jiang Kehan leaned against the glass wall and suddenly remembered that Shan Lin had given her a book of essays about cat balls.
She quickly took it out and searched for information about this cat ball.
"Is this a disordered cat ball?" Jiang Kehan held up her notebook with some doubt, comparing the photo on it with the cat ball below.
Ai Li'er straightened her somewhat disheveled clothes and came over. She looked at the notebook in Jiang Kehan's hand with some surprise.
"Where did you get this notebook of essays? It has such detailed descriptions."
"However, what's below is indeed a disordered cat ball."
Jiang Kehan was somewhat speechless. The disordered cat ball in the photo was only the size of a thumb, quite different from the giant cat ball below.
Looking at Jiang Kehan's expression, Ai Li'er burst out laughing.
"You should take a look at the detailed introduction at the back. We'll be dealing with the Chaotic Meow Ball for a long time to come."
