Chapter 80 – The Fallen Great Zhou (1/2)
Has she finally revealed her fox tail?
Elena stared fixedly at Shen DaiYing, wanting to find clues from her expression.
She’s certain that the woman that was spying on them in the practice range a couple of days ago was Shen DaiYing! Other than that strand of long black hair, she found other proof!
Aura, that was the best proof!
That day, someone was clearly hiding on the second floor watching them, but Elena’s “magic detection radar” couldn’t detect her at all. So it goes to say, that person has the ability to hide their aura.
As it turns out, this princess also has that ability!
At first, Elena couldn’t believe it, but standing next to Shen DaiYing allowed her to confirm it… She can clearly see Shen DaiYing’s existence with her eyes, she can hear her voice with her ears, but her “magic detection radar” can’t pick up her aura, it was like nothingness, no magical fluctuations, there was not even a living person’s aura!
Even if Elena focused completely on her, she could barely pick up a faint aura. How was this possible?
Why could Shen DaiYing hide her own aura?
“Sword?”
Elena noticed the two beautiful swords hanging at Shen DaiYing’s waist, a slender Tachi and a short dagger… she was a delicate princess, why did she have swords?
On one side, Elena was worried to death, trying to think of Shen DaiYing’s true purpose, but on the other side, Lin Xiao had no self awareness.
Lin Xiao’s head was currently only filled with one thought, “What does the princess want to tell me? Could it be that she’s confessing?”
That can’t be possible, even someone that was as clouded as the current Lin Xiao, he also felt his own thoughts were naive.
No matter how he puts it, this was his and Shen DaiYing’s first meeting, although he fell for her at first sight, Shen DaiYing had no reason to fall for him.
However, Lin Xiao still had a sliver of hope.
Although the probability was low, but what if?
“Sister Ying, what did you want to say to me?” Lin Xiao gulped and tried to probe.
“That… perhaps I shouldn’t ask.” Unexpectedly, the magnanimous Shen DaiYing became coy.
“Shouldn’t ask?”
“Un, this question might be too intrusive to your privacy, after all, everyone has their own secrets…” Shen DaiYing’s eyes were evasive.
“Privacy, secrets?” Lin Xiao could feel his heart beat faster and faster!
What she wanted to ask, was about privacy and secrets? What was it about?
Could it be that she actually fell for him?
Although Lin Xiao knew it was impossible, how things were unfolding confirmed his conjectures.
Shen DaiYing’s face was slightly flushed, her head was slightly turned, she had a shy expression and a bashful tone.
“This, after all is our first meeting, perhaps you’re still guarded against me, so asking this hastily might be too premature…”
Hearing what she said, Lin Xiao gulped.
First meeting?
It was too premature?
Those words all pointed towards what Lin Xiao was anticipating, making him feel more and more confident with his judgment…
“No, no, no! Although it’s our first meeting, but Sister Ying, I’m not guarded against you at all!”
As if he wanted to dispel her hesitation, he quickly replied in an intellectual way which was unlike Lin Xiao. He was about to believe that Shen DaiYing fell for him at first sight, but Elena on the other hand understood!
“As expected, it was her…”
Shen DaiYing wasn’t confessing to him, she was trying to confess the truth.
Perhaps Shen DaiYing didn’t want to hide anything, but she was definitely the one peeping on them that day in the practice range. She was planning to lay her cards out on the table and clear her doubts from that day.
What she was saying was proof!
She just said, “Shouldn’t ask, regarding privacy”, Lin Xiao was a new student to Loran Academy’s magic department, yet he used numerous advanced techniques in the practice range, so he was hiding secrets! Of course, Shen DaiYing shouldn’t hastily ask such an intrusive question
“First meeting, guarded, too premature”, even Shen DaiYing herself knows that she shouldn’t ask, but for her, this was something she had to ask about. Anyone that sees a 15 year old using terrifying techniques like double chant and multi-casting, can’t help but ask about it!
What she really wanted to ask was, “How could you accomplish multi-casting?”
Sadly, Elena had complete clarity, yet Lin Xiao was still in the dark.
“Perhaps you already know, but out of courtesy, I think it’s better if I ask first.” Shen DaiYing bit her lips and made a decision.
She had to get an answer.
Lin Xiao was clearly 15 years old and a new student. How could he use “double chant” and “multi-casting”?
What level magician was he?
Who was he?
Who was backing him?
Shen DaiYing must get answers for all these questions, even if her sudden rude questions may cause hostility, she still had to ask.
Friend or foe, she must get an answer right now!
This was her true purpose for calling out Lin Xiao!
“Actually…”
To Elena, it sounded like Shen DaiYing was trying to come clean, but to Lin Xiao, it sounded completely different.
She wanted to say something, but hesitated, her bashfulness… it was evident, Shen DaiYing likes him as well!
