Lin Pingzhi, who was about to injure or kill the 'black mage', was stunned when he saw this scene.
He looked at the unremarkable jujube tree that was suppressing his magic in a daze.
The jujube tree took the form of a human face, but it didn't make a sound. It just looked at them quietly, as if nothing had happened.
Ban Feimeng was stunned for a moment. Soon, she came to her senses and thought, "This should be a creature that Senior Ye conjured. It doesn't seem to have high intelligence, but it has such terrifying strength. It's really lucky to be able to stay at Senior's side. Unlike me, I can only find excuses to come over here. I can't come here every day and annoy Senior."
The power of the spells cast by the two combined together, and it had long exceeded the normal strength of the advanced mages should have.
To be able to suppress that terrifying magic power, that jujube tree's strength must be incredible.
"Impossible, it's just a jujube tree!"
Lin Pingzhi's face was pale. He looked at the unremarkable jujube tree in disbelief. Even the human face that it formed was abnormally dazed. This meant that it had only been born not long ago, but it could suppress the spells of two advanced mages?
Were the black mages in the South City this powerful? Or was this a special case?
Lin Pingzhi's mind was in a mess. He did not know how to deal with it.
"I saw that the magic you just cast was a family spell of the Lin family. Why did you come to destroy Senior Ye's bookstore?"
Ban Feimeng said with a cold expression, "You were too fast just now. I couldn't warn you, but it's not too late now. Let me tell you clearly that this calligraphy and painting shop was opened by a master. The jujube tree in front of the door was just born last month, but it was already this powerful in one month."
"Fortunately, it stopped you. Senior Ye is probably not in the bookstore. Otherwise, would you still be standing here?"
"A reclusive master?" Lin Pingzhi muttered in a daze.
After being forced to calm down, he could tell that the girl who stopped him wasn't a black mage, but a mage who cultivated the dark elements. Her face seemed familiar, but that wasn't important at the moment.
What was important was that his attack was stopped by the jujube tree, which had been enlightened by the owner of the bookstore for a month.
The jujube tree's wisdom was not mature yet, and it was equivalent to a newborn child. It only instinctively protected the bookstore and would not attack him. What would happen when the owner of the bookstore returned?
No matter how good-tempered a person was, if their property was being attacked, they would definitely fly into rage.
Would he be able to withstand the wrath of such a mysterious master? Would it affect the Lin family?
His daughter would come here from time to time, probably to gain the recognition of the seniors. However, he had caused a huge disaster.
Lin Pingzhi's heart was filled with frustration, regret, self-blame, and other emotions. His expression was blank.
After a long while, he came back to his senses and thanked Ban Feimeng. "Thank you for your help just now. If I really damaged the bookstore, things would be bad."
"It's fine. I just happened to be here." Ban Feimeng replied calmly.
Senior Ye was not around. Just as she was about to leave, Lin Pingzhi's words came from behind her, "I'm the head of the Lin family. Have we met somewhere before? Are you a member of the Lin Family?"
Ban Feimeng turned around in surprise, "You're the head of the Lin family?"
Her grandfather Ban Shan was an archmagister. He had connection with other magic families. She knew about the Lin family. Otherwise, she would not have recognized the Azure Firebird. However, she didn't expect that the person in front of her was the head of the Lin family.
Lin Pingzhi smiled bitterly, "That's right, I am."
"My daughter has been coming here these days. She didn't tell her us. I thought that something had happened to her. I was too impulsive."
Ban Feimeng said, "That was your daughter's opportunity. Senior doesn't like too many people in the bookstore, so he didn't want us to publicize it."
"It's all thanks to Senior's guidance that I was able to improve so quickly. Your actions might have ruined your daughter's great opportunity."
Lin Pingzhi's breathing stopped.
Now, he finally understood why his daughter didn't reveal the details of her schedule.
The mighty master who was hiding in the mortal world had given her some instruction. No one would dare to say anything to avoid upsetting this master.
"I'll give you some more advice. You'd better take the initiative to apologize to Senior Ye as soon as possible. Senior Ye has a gentle personality and appreciates your daughter. If you are more sincere, perhaps Senior Ye will forgive you."
Ban Feimeng thought for a moment and reminded, "My elder was able to ascend to the Divine Realm after he interacted with Senior Ye. Think about it carefully."
Ban Shan's ascension to the Divine Realm a while ago had caused quite a stir in the circle of mages. Lin Pingzhi naturally knew about it.
However, this was all thanked to the owner of this bookstore?
From the looks of it, the owner of the bookstore should be a reclusive expert who could ascend to the Divine Realm at any time, but he could suppress the pull of the divine realm at any time. That was why he had been staying in the human world. He must be a terrifying existence.
Lin Pingzhi took a deep breath and slowly walked forward. He picked up the discarded magic staff and left, leaving behind only one sentence, "I'm going back to take care of some things. Tomorrow, I'll come here to apologize to Senior Ye. Whether I live or die, it's all up to Senior Ye. Please help me tell him not to involve Lin family in this matter. I'll bear the responsibility alone."
Lin Pingzhi left the area covered by magic dejectedly, holding the broken magic staff in his right hand.
Ban Feimeng opened her mouth, feeling a little complicated.
She originally wanted to leave directly, and Senior Ye was not at home. However, she could not bear to see Lin Pingzhi dispirited. After all, he knew her family. She could not watch him die.
"Forget it, I'll wait here. When Senior comes back, I'll put in a good word for him."
"The influence of the Lin family is not bad. They've done a lot of things."
Ban Feimeng puffed her cheeks, tidied up, and slowly walked to the front of the shop.
When the jujube tree saw that things had calmed down, the human face shrank back and turned back into normal. Anyone who looked at it would think that it was just an ordinary tree.
Ban Feimeng saw that the jujube tree didn't attack her, and she immediately heaved a sigh of relief. She sat in front of the steps of the bookstore and held her chin with both hands, waiting.
Just when she was bored, she suddenly felt the darkness in front of her eyes. The jujube tree's branches blocked the sunlight.
The human face on the jujube tree appeared once again. It slowly opened its mouth and said, "Guest."
Ban Feimeng turned around in surprise. "You remember me?"
The jujube tree paused for a while before saying, "Guest."
Ban Feimeng patiently communicated with it. She discovered that although the jujube tree only had simple wisdom, its learning speed was very fast, and its potential was very great. If she nurtured it carefully, it could definitely become a powerhouse in the future.
"Do Senior Ye know that you have already activated your spiritual intelligence?"
The jujube tree's words were much smoother, "I don't know. I was noticed by him, so I was unable to show it. I could only stand and unable to speak."
Ban Feimeng thought, "It seemed that Senior was just casually nurturing it and didn't pay much attention to it. Perhaps I can ask permission from Senior to nurture it. On one hand, I could come to the bookstore more frequently. On the other hand, if I became familiar with the jujube tree, it would become stronger in the future, and I could have a strong ally."
Ban Feimeng felt that this was a good idea and continued to communicate with the jujube tree.
