"Woah, did she just cast a spell without chanting?!" Xiang Peng exclaimed, immediately closing the distance between her and Mei Gui.
"Nah, she just chanted really quietly," I quickly said, trying to cover it up.
"Oh, I see," Xiang Peng murmured in reply.
Wait, she actually believed that?!
...Okay, works for me.
I tilted my head. "Anyway, Mei Gui, what spell did you cast? Detect Presence? Ah, but wait...that's just a one-time scan, not a continuous radar..."
Mei Gui shook her head. "I used...nevermind."
Seeing her expression, I knew she didn't want to say it in front of Xiang Peng, who was still oblivious to all of our secrets...and I planned to keep it that way. Lan Xiao Su already knows, but in the end, the less people that know, the better.
[Master, I used Forbidden Magic just now.] Mei Gui sent me a telepathic message.
[Ah, I see. Teach it to me later then?]
