Rebirth in the Spirit World, the Goddess's Brilliant Counterattack
Chapter 11: Visiting Lian Mansion in the Mist
The carriage sped along the road driven by magic runes. The shadows of the trees retreated rapidly in the wind, and gradually drove towards a hidden manor on the edge of the city. It was an ancient magic building, covering a vast area. A stream with sparkling magic flowed under the small bridge, and it was surrounded by green trees. The fact that there was such a mansion in the flowery Lanriel City showed that the identity of this old woman was extraordinary. Li Li thought to herself, but her face was calm.
The old lady felt that Li Li was more and more kind, and she led her into the mansion with a warm smile. The servants in the house were all surprised, as they had not seen the old lady so happy for a long time.
"Little girl, this place can be your home. I'm in a good mood today. Tell the cook to prepare more delicious food." She instructed the housekeeper.
Faced with such enthusiasm, Li Li had no choice but to nod, "Grandma, my name is Li Li, you can call me by my name."
"Okay, Lili." The old woman changed her name affectionately.
"Who's visiting? You look so happy!" A white-haired old man in a magic robe and holding a staff walked slowly down from the upstairs. He had a slender figure and sparkling eyes.
"It's the little girl who sent me to the healing tower last time. I just met her at the magic market." The old woman said happily.
The old man was slightly startled, and he tried to force a smile on his usually serious face, "Then you have to thank this little girl. Come, sit down." He looked at Li Li calmly. The girl was tall and slender, with pretty features and clear eyes. It was rare that she could face his scrutiny calmly at such a young age.
After Li Li sat down in the living room, the old woman called her son's magic message, "Xilai, are you busy today? Come back tonight for dinner. The little girl who saved mother last time is here."
Feeling the joy in the old woman's words, Lian Xilai was also quite happy. He agreed to go home for dinner and asked his assistant to postpone an unimportant meeting.
Lian Xilai usually handles affairs at the Magic Council in the city center, which is quite far from the family's old house. He only returns home on weekends. As soon as he stepped into the mansion, he heard a lively conversation and couldn't help but feel surprised. Even if his parents wanted to thank him, they wouldn't be so enthusiastic, right?
"Mom and Dad, I'm back," he said.
"Xilai, come here quickly. This is the little girl, Li Li, who saved your mother last time." The old woman hurriedly called him over.
"Hello, I'm Lian Xilai. Thank you very much for saving my mother." Lian Xilai's expression was solemn, and he did not look down on the other party just because she was a little girl.
The middle-aged man with elegant manners had a gentle smile, giving people a sense of intimacy. Li Li looked at him with a little surprise: Isn't this the chief wizard of Lanriel City?
"Hello, Councillor Lian, it's just a small matter." Li Li responded with a smile.
There was a gleam in Lian Xilai's eyes. She was able to recognize his identity at the first meeting, and her attitude was so dignified. This girl must be no simple person.
"Come, come, don't stand there, eat first, eat." The old woman invited everyone to take their seats.
She glanced at Jiang Jian and asked in confusion, "It's already seven o'clock, why hasn't Xiaoyu come back yet?"
Before she finished speaking, a voice came from the door, "Grandma, I heard your laughter outside the door, is there any good news?"
A slender figure walked in and was changing his magic boots in the entrance hall.
"Xiao Yu is back? Come quickly. It was this little girl who saved me when grandma fainted last time." The old woman said with a smile while holding Li Li's hand.
"Sister Li?", "Lian Yu?"...
Their eyes met, their voices rang out at the same time, and they stared at each other in surprise.
The old witch looked at the two of them in surprise, "Do you two know each other?"
Lian Yu was equally confused, "Sister Li, why are you here?"
This is such a wonderful fate!
Li Li was also stunned. "Grandma Lian, Lian Yu and I are classmates at Astra Magic Academy."
"We are all apprentices studying magic, so we should get along well with each other!" Old lady Lian clapped her hands and smiled.
Everyone sat around the table to eat, with the old witch sitting at the head of the table. She was in a particularly good mood today, and the atmosphere at the table was particularly harmonious, with both the host and the guests enjoying themselves.
Lian Yu sat down next to Li Li and whispered, "Sister Li, you not only saved me, but also saved my grandmother. I don't know how to thank you."
Li Li:......
"This was purely an accident..."
“Anyway, just come to me if you need anything in the future. I will do my best to help you!” Lian Yu smiled and performed a magician’s salute.
Li Li was speechless.
Lian Xilai raised his glass to Li Li, even though they were some distance apart, "Li Li, since you are Lian Yu's classmate, please take care of him in the future. Although this boy is naughty, he has a kind heart."
The ancestors of the Lian family were warriors on the battlefield, with outstanding achievements, but retired due to injuries and illnesses when they were old. Fortunately, they had two outstanding sons, Lian Donglai joined the army and Lian Xilai entered politics. One was a warrior and the other was a scholar, supporting the glory of the Lian family to this day.
Lian Dongnian travels back and forth between the front lines. Lian Yu can be said to have been raised by Lian Xilai, and the uncle and nephew have a deep relationship like that of father and son. Lian Xilai is busy with government affairs and rarely has free time. Today, he celebrated with the old man and drank a lot, and he was a little drunk. Li Li looked at him and couldn't imagine that half a year later, he would be imprisoned for being falsely accused of participating in dark magic transactions. The eldest son of the Lian family was also in trouble in order to save him, causing the magnificent building of the Lian family to collapse overnight.
Li Li felt mixed emotions. She had a good impression of the Lian family. After weighing the pros and cons, she made a decision.
After dinner, Grandpa Lian and Grandma Lian temporarily left the table and went upstairs. Li Li sat next to Lian Xilai, pondered for a moment, and said, "Uncle Lian, I know you have made an indelible contribution to the prosperity of Lancheng today, but sometimes villains' schemes can also work in secret."
Lian Xilai originally thought that Li Li just wanted to chat about family matters. When he heard this, his face darkened and his eyes revealed a questioning look, "I don't know what you are talking about."
"Uncle Lian, I have no hostility. I'm just giving you a friendly warning to be careful about the people around you." Li Li was not intimidated by his cold eyes and maintained a calm tone.
"I can't help you much else, I just hope to give you some direction to think about." After saying this, Li Li went upstairs to say goodbye to Grandpa and Grandma Lian.
Lian Xilai stayed alone in the living room, lost in deep thought. He didn't understand Li Li's hint. Why would a high school girl say these words to him? It was the time of elections, and there was something strange around him recently. Lian Xilai originally planned to stay out of it, but after listening to Li Li's words, he decided to investigate further. He always kept to himself and didn't cause trouble, but he would never allow others to have any improper thoughts about him.
Li Li went upstairs to say goodbye to Grandpa Lian and Grandma Lian. Grandma Lian held her hand reluctantly and asked the driver to take her home safely.
After the magic duel, the first monthly trial also arrived as scheduled. This trial is of great significance, and many new magic stars will emerge. The instructors of No. 1 Middle School attach great importance to this, and the challenge of the trial is more severe than ever before.
The classroom was filled with tense magic, but Li Li seemed to be out of it. She was still immersed in the sea of books, occasionally fiddling with the magic stone in her hand, ignoring the gazes of the instructors of various subjects.
Zhong Xin, the instructor of the Hongzhi class, has been secretly following Li Li's movements since her last debate with her. When she heard about Li Li's recent performance, she sneered. She was so self-indulgent. I really don't know how such an apprentice could enter the First Middle School of Magic!
Li Yan has also been going all out during this period. She wants to completely suppress Li Li in this trial and let her parents know who is the true magic heir of the Li family!
