Fang Shaoli cut off the communication. She stared coldly at Wang Xuxu, who was struggling in the pond. After Wang Xuxu fell into the water, something was grabbing onto her legs. She could not break free no matter how hard she tried.
”Are we continuing?” asked Zhao Pinlin.
”We'll need to handle the emergency first. It looks like our location has been compromised...is everyone you brought a classmate? Why is there a Magician among them?” said Fang Shaoli.
”Oh, are you referring to those three... I don't think there's any problem with them, since I was the one who invited them,” Zhao Pinlin explained the situation on the bus.
”They can easily fake their identities. Even though we can investigate them further, we will be wasting our time trying to do so. Since you're now one of us, I'll let you probe their identities. I'll leave a Cursed Beast under your control. Remember, even if you did not learn anything useful, you must avoid exposing yourself at all costs. Once your identity is compromised, I believe you understand what you have to do, right?” said Fang Shaoli.
Zhao Pinlin was startled. He received a blue-red pill from Fang Shaoli.
”The death in this world is only the beginning to paradise. I know what I should do!” said Zhao Pinlin fanatically.
”Very well, you will become a brilliant member with enough resolution. You might even earn your chance to meet the Mater in person,” said Fang Shaoli.
”Really?” blurted out Zhao Pinlin passionately.
”Of course, I was the same as you a long time ago. I was her most brilliant student,” Fang Shaoli smiled.

Master Mintian's talk had ended. The reputable academic had already left, after bringing the manor quite a handsome sum. After all, the place was even more luxurious than a five-star hotel. A meal alone would cost many workers a month's wage.
A few hundred people stayed at the manor. They were enjoying the unique environment and the secluded lifestyle while reflecting on Master Mintian's teachings.
However, the same night, when most people had fallen asleep, the sound of battle came from the spacious field in the manor. The clueless Mo Fan pushed the curtains open and immediately saw a red fireball flying at him!
”F**k me!” Mo Fan cursed as he ducked.
The fireball flew past above his head. He soon smelled burning hair.
He turned around and saw the fireball had landed on the wall, leaving a scorched mark on it. Luckily, the wall was not made of wood, or it would have been set on fire instantly.
Mo Fan was speechless. Why would someone try to attack him with a Fire Burst as he was about to go to bed? He looked toward the noise and saw quite a number of Magicians fighting in the hedge maze. Judging from the Star Patterns, it seemed like there were quite a few Intermediate Magicians involved!
”What's going on?” Mu Ningxue came onto the balcony. She was wearing thin sleepwear. Her smooth, perfect skin was partly visible under the cloth.
”I don't know either, they started fighting all of a sudden,” said Mo Fan.
”Should we go take a look?” asked Mu Ningxue.
”No, we aren't Magicians. You are only a Basic Magician now. We'll walk down there and stand far away so we won't expose ourselves,” said Mo Fan firmly.
”Sure thing!”
The two woke Lingling up and saw many people attracted by the noise as they headed downstairs. They were heading toward the noise to see what was going on.
