Elemental Light Mage

Chapter 340: On the battlefield

He Muqing's report prompted the three Holy Wills and Ten Aspirations to find a way to cover up the true information about the Xi sisters. As an outsider, Meng Fanchen naturally had no say in the matter.

The most useless Shengyi was also unable to help, so Tian Zhixiang took the credit for sending Meng Fanchen back to the territory of the Phantom Clan.

"Okay, we're almost at my house, do you want to come in and sit down?"

Facing Gao Xiatian Zhixiang, Meng Fanchen still made a joke to show his hospitality as a host.

Even though there was a beautiful woman greeting him with a smile, after all, the two had discussed cooperation before, and no matter how stupid Gao Xia Tian Zhixiang was, he didn't want to do anything that would cause misunderstanding.

"No, forget it," Tian Zhixiang's eyes dodged left and right, "We haven't come up with a result yet, we can't let your family members misunderstand, right?"

These words surprised Meng Fanchen. Perhaps it was the brief time they spent together that made her feel a little disappointed with Tian Zhixiang's kindness. Even though it was just a joke she made at the beginning, she felt a little depressed after being rejected.

"Yes, in that case, let's talk about it later."

After saying goodbye to each other, Meng Fanchen still watched the figure disappear into the distance reluctantly, until Tian Zhixiang disappeared behind the wall of the building, Meng Fanchen came back to his senses.

"Ugh."

After returning home, the days that passed during this period of time were still lingering in Meng Fanchen's mind.

She had indeed resolved the knot in her heart about the seats of the Ten Sacred Wills, but for some reason she could not calm her mind. As soon as she closed her eyes, she recalled the faces of the Ten Sacred Wills.

"Could it be that I still have some thoughts about the position of the Ten Aspirations of the Holy Will?"

While she was hesitating, a secret order told her to go to the hall, where Meng Fanchen's parents would be waiting for her.

Not daring to delay, Meng Fanchen hurried into the hall. When he arrived, he found that not only his parents were waiting for him, but even the clan leader and other elders were sitting on chairs, as if they were waiting for him to enter.

Meng Fanchen stood in the middle of the hall and bowed, "Patriarch, father, Chen'er is late."

"It's not too late, it's good that you're here," the patriarch said with a smile, looking very kind, "My dear niece, how is the discussion with you going?"

The so-called "that thing" naturally refers to asking Meng Fanchen to win over the new Holy Will Ten Aspirations Gaoxia Tian Zhixiang.

"Chief, I have already talked to Xin Shengyi in person, and he said he needs a few days to think about it."

"Oh, that's how it is."

The clan leader didn't say anything, he just stroked his chin and thought about something.

"Chen'er, please don't continue with the matter of winning over the Ten Saint Wills."

Meng Fanchen raised his head and looked at the clan leader in confusion. It was obvious that the family had attached great importance to this matter not long ago, but today the situation took a sudden turn for the worse and they had to give up on winning over Gao Xia Tian Zhixiang.

"Why? Please give me an answer, clan leader and elders!"

The adults present started talking about it. They thought Meng Fanchen would agree readily, but they didn't expect him to start investigating the reason.

"Alas, you should have experienced it today. The deputy city lord seems to have made some moves. At this critical juncture, we should not get too close to the Ten Wills of the Holy Will."

At the same time, a questioning voice came from a seat to the side, "Besides, I heard that the new Ten Wills of the Holy Will are extremely weak, and even a stronger magician can't deal with them. There is no need to win them over, right?"

The unacceptable fact made Meng Fanchen look a little embarrassed. She couldn't help but feel her legs go weak and she stood there swaying.

The clan leader noticed the abnormality of the younger generation and immediately covered for him, saying, "There is nothing else to do today. Chen'er, you must be very tired, so go back and rest."

Keeping his hazy mind and obeying the orders of the clan leader, Meng Fanchen dragged his feet and returned to his room in a dull manner.

After lying on the bed, Meng Fanchen's mind went blank and she collapsed. She didn't know why she felt so unwilling in her heart. She could only let the distress and sorrow fill her heart.

The bedroom door was suddenly pushed open, and a woman walked cautiously into Meng Fanchen's bedroom.

"Mother?"

Noticing his mother coming, Meng Fanchen wanted to stand up from the bed but his mother asked him to sit down.

Mother Meng sat beside her daughter and asked with concern: "A lot of things have happened recently, right?"

Meng Fanchen lowered his head, thought for a while and replied, "It's OK."

Meng's mother looked at her daughter with a smile without saying a word. She gently reached out her hand to lift the hair that was hanging down her daughter's face.

"I didn't realize you've grown up so much. When you were four or five years old, you barely spoke and that scared your parents to death."

When Meng Fanchen was reminded of these things from his childhood, he had no memory of what happened at that time and could only listen to his mother's memories in silence.

"At that time, we were very anxious but did not dare to speak out. It was not until your uncle, who is now the clan leader, saw you that he said that you must have had something on your mind since you were a child. You did not speak because you kept it all in your heart."

Meng's mother held her daughter's hand in her palm and stroked the back of her hand with her other hand.

"I know you've always wanted to achieve something since you were little, but I've never seen you make friends with others, and you don't even have a few friends to bring home, so I'm worried that you've been wronged outside."

At this point, Meng's mother smiled and stroked her daughter's face again. "Later, I heard that you actually joined forces with Li Yuqian from the Apocalypse Clan to obtain the power of the Apocalypse Meteorite. Only then did I realize that my daughter also knows how to socialize with others."

The collaboration with Li Yuqian was not pleasant, but Meng Fanchen didn't know whether his mother really didn't know or was pretending not to know, so he puffed up his cheeks to hide his embarrassment.

Mother Meng stared at her daughter for a while longer, and said earnestly, "The magic of our Phantom Clan is about seeing the appearance of all living things and playing a thousand roles. During this process, we often lose our true judgment and often cannot see ourselves clearly. Sometimes it is important to find our true nature and follow our heart."

"Follow your heart...?"

Meng Fanchen raised his head in disbelief and looked at his mother.

Meng Mutian smiled and said: "Find your own sincere heart, protect it, and release it."

-

"You, why are you here?!"

Gao Xiatian Zhixiang was unable to speak clearly when he saw Meng Fanchen standing at the door of the boys' dormitory.

"I can't find where Su Caibai is. With the experience of ambushing you last time, I have no choice but to come find you."

Since he didn't have the contact information for Su Cai and Bai Leo, Meng Fanchen certainly couldn't contact them.

"No..." Gao Xia Tian Zhi Xiang covered his face and said speechlessly, "I want to ask you what you want to do?"

"Help you beat up the deputy city lord Protoni."

"You, help us beat up Protoni?"

Gao Xia Tian Zhixiang was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to respond.
