A person was holding a magic wand with a black robe, a hood hanging from his head covering part of his face, standing in front of a rock that could not be said to be too big, dripping blood on the stone then banging his wand on the ground three times.

That place is in the middle of a dead forest, one of the forests in the Artland World but not included in the territory of any race.

​​

A few seconds passed, a cave suddenly appeared with a door made of stone sliding slowly.

The sound of crows and owls can be heard clearly around the cave, several other animal night hunters also fly above the cave.

Several torches were lined up neatly against the wall and managed to make a light in the cave.

a man sitting with his eyes closed on a large rock in the middle of the cave entered his view.

Not wanting to interfere with that person's activities, he decided to wait and leaned his shoulders against the cave wall with both hands on his chest.

Was in that position for so long, all he did was stare at the person.

"How?" a voice suddenly escaped followed by the opening of that person's eyelids.

"The woman and the five people are missing or maybe dead?" replied the man, his body still leaning against the cave wall.

"Hmmm, even though I warned her to change her greedy attitude. Anything else?"

"As planned, went well."

"Keep observing them. I don't want something like it used to happen again."

"Leave it to me," replied the man who was holding the stick and started to leave.

"Ah wait, one more."

His steps stopped when he heard the person he was talking to for a few seconds then returned to voice.

"I have something for you to look up if you have time."

"What is that?"

"Queen Yu Yi's reincarnation," said people still with a flat face.

He had received reports from several people while in his master's room a few weeks ago that they felt the aura of the stupid queen. But they couldn't find the owner yet when her aura suddenly disappeared from this world.

The black-robed man furrowed his brows faintly but didn't want to ask any further questions.

"Alright."

***

The night was getting late, an old man stood on a large rock that was at the top of a hill not far from the academy. His gray robe fluttered against the wind that was blowing.

He didn't know where else he has to go on. Losing track of Fu Xie Lan worried him. Who knows how many times he sighed roughly. Looking up at the sky filled with clouds, the old man recalled the start of their meeting in the forbidden forest. Because of his selfishness, a person is in danger. Had he ignored the little girl then, perhaps she wouldn't have been in this kind of danger?

Not finding them when he picked him up at Elder Chen's residence made him frantic, especially the trouble that had occurred at the pury test site. It would be great if that girl was with Wan Lie, but if not?

Many times he had cursed himself for just being busy with his potions, making aroma pills for Fu Xie Lan, and neglect to look after the girl. His decision not to teach the girl anything turned out to be a mistake. He realized that even though the girl's chance to live was not long again, but making her strong enough to survive in this world before the time came was not something in vain. If only he had known how to remove the seal, if only ...

All kinds of regrets popped up in his head. If only he had not met by Fu Xie Lan, then the burden would not be as heavy as it is now. This is the reason why he has not had the slightest desire to have a personal disciple because he does not wish to have ties to anyone.

The sound of a thud made him put on a watchful attitude, he immediately turned around and met a girl who was running out of the dense trees, her clothes were torn, bloodstains seemed to fill certain parts of the girl's body.

"Grandpa let's go, this place is dangerous," shouted the girl breathlessly when she saw a short old man looking at her.

"What happened? Why did you ...."

Freshly he could finish his sentence, a roar could be heard coming from the girl's direction before. A pack of six-legged tigers with bodies roughly the size of three ordinary tigers ran towards him, there were many.

"Moon tiger? Why is that magic beast in a place like this?" muttered the man when he saw the beast.

As far as he knew, the moon tiger could only be found in the magic forest nowhere else because the forest was rich in mana, while the moon tiger could not live in an area with only a small amount of mana. If that happened then the beast would seek out whatever had its mana to keep it alive, and it seemed the girl was their target. No, maybe he will soon enter the moon tiger food list if he doesn't move immediately.

Regardless of the girl who kept screaming hysterically to tell him to leave immediately, the old man stomped his feet and a few seconds later he was standing in the air facing the moon tiger.

Moving his hand upwards, the ground where the moon tiger was suddenly trembled violently, cracked, and then created a very deep hole and sucked all the tigers without remaining. only a few seconds later the ground closed back to normal as if nothing had happened before.

Defeating magic beasts like that had no meaning at all to him, but it was different if the one facing the moon tiger was only a level one wizard, if you didn't run away then you would most likely be killed.

"It's okay now," he said and then landed his feet on the ground.

Meanwhile, the girl was still standing with her whole body trembling with fear. Who knows what happened to her in the past few days, she has been met twice with people who have terrible powers.

"Miss, are you all right?" said the man looking up at the girl's face, her tall stature made it a little difficult to communicate with the girl.

"Was that magic third tier?" asked the girl in a shocked face.

"Looks like your wound was quite bad," replied the man, ignoring the girl's question.

He then reached into his pocket and took out a small porcelain bottle containing several pills and gave them to the girl.

"Drink this, or soon your body will no longer be able to move," he said when he saw the not-so-deep bite marks on the girl's leg. The mild impact when a person is bitten by a moon tiger is paralyzed and the mana in her body will be drained away if the bite wound is not treated immediately.

"I'm not a bad person, so there's no need to worry."

"Al-alright, thank you, Sir," said the girl grabbed the bottle that was handed to her, and swallowed the pill immediately.

"Um, take a break before going,"

"Xue Ning, call me Xue Ning, Sir, thank you again."
