Li Xiuling originally planned to contact Li Li directly to make an appointment with her, but she found that her contact information had been changed. Li Xiuling could only sulk alone. Is it possible that Li Li is so unwilling to have anything to do with the Li family anymore?

This actually misunderstood Li Li. To her, the Li family was far from being that important. Li Li only changed her contact information because she was tired of the constant harassing calls from scouts and agents.

Unable to contact Li Li directly, Li Xiuling had to ask the housekeeper to find out the current address of Li Li and Li Dajun.

"Zilou?" Hearing the housekeeper's answer, Li Xiuling thought she had misheard. Although Zilou was not as rich as the wealthy area here, it was also a well-known high-end residential area in Lancheng. How could Li Dajun have the financial resources to take Li Li to live there? Just relying on his small shop? How is it possible!

Li Xiuling went out early in the morning. Li Yan and Li Jing were enjoying the magic breakfast in the restaurant. Li Jing hurriedly finished his meal and left. Li Yan lowered her head, her hair half covering her face, and her emotions could not be seen...

Ling Xiuling came to Zige, an upscale residential area protected by a magic circle. She could not pass the strict spell examination and could only wait in the carriage outside the magic shield.

Soon, she saw Lilya walking out of the gate of the Magic Academy. Ling Xiuling quickly got out of the car and called her, "Lily!"

Lilya turned her head and saw that the person walking out of the car was undoubtedly Ling Xiuling.

"What can I do for you, Madam Lilia?" Lilia's tone was as cold as ice.

"Madam Lilia?" Ling Xiuling was startled, angered by Lilia's indifference, "I am your mother!"

"My real mother died ten years ago. Who are you?"

"You!" Ling Xiuling took a few quick breaths. "Forget it, I won't argue with you about this. Get in the car. I have something to tell you."

"Just say it here." Lilia refused firmly.

"Okay." Ling Xiuling compromised helplessly, "Let me ask you, did you win the Medal of Honor in the recent magic competition?"

"Yes, why are you here to ask Lianna for the secret of learning? She is not talented enough and is not suitable for magic."

"What secret of learning do I need?" Ling Xiuling was so angry that she blurted out a curse.

Lilia was obviously deliberately provoking her. The angrier Ling Xiuling got, the happier she felt.

"Did you really reject the direct recruitment invitations from the Yajing School of Magic and the Huaqing Institute of Magic?"

"Yes."

Hearing Lilia's answer, Ling Xiuling could no longer suppress her anger, "What are you thinking! How can you casually reject such an opportunity? Doesn't Li Dajian teach you a lesson?"

She sneered, "That's right, he's just an ordinary person, he probably doesn't even know what a direct move is."

Lilia's face darkened. "Madam Lilia, this is our family's business. You don't need to worry about it."

"You are my daughter, why can't I take care of it?"

"My daughter? I'm sorry, but I remind you that the bond between us has long been severed."

Lilia didn't want to dwell on this matter. "If this is all you have to say, then we have nothing to talk about. I'm leaving now."

Without waiting for Ling Xiuling's response, Lilia summoned teleportation magic and disappeared from the spot, leaving Ling Xiuling very angry.

Ling Xiuling felt uncomfortable after hitting a wall with Lilia. After some thought, she ordered the carriage to go to the magic props shop run by Li Dajian.

Yashe has just opened its door to morning light. Qingyu only comes to help out during lunch and after school from Monday to Friday. At this moment, Li Dajian is the only one busy in the store, taking care of the secret seasoning in the magic stew pot.

Ling Xiuling stepped into the store at this moment. She frowned, her face full of disgust for the atmosphere in the store.

"What are you doing here?" Li Dajian stopped the magic tool in his hand and asked vigilantly.

Ling Xiuling moved a little further away from the magic stew pot and said, "I want to talk to you about Lilia."

"There's nothing to talk about between us. Go away. I won't see you off."

"Li Dajian, is this how you educate your children?" Just like Lilia, who was raised by Li Dajian, both father and daughter are good at making people feel suffocated with just one sentence.

"Did you know that Lilia won the competition?"

"I know." Li Dajian looked confused. "What's wrong?"

"You knew? You knew and still asked her to reject the direct recruitment invitations from Yajing and Huaqing!"

"What direct move?"

Ling Xiuling smiled contemptuously, "You don't even know what direct admission is, how do you manage your child? Direct admission means that she can directly enter the country's top magic academy without having to participate in magic trials. Do you understand?"

Li Dajian was silent. He really knew nothing about this. "I believe in Lilia. She must have her reasons for doing this. I will support her."

In the distant continent of Estera, the winter wind howled at the edge of the magic forest, and the icy magic was pervasive, closely following the steps of every traveler. In this forgotten college city, the golden leaves of the ginkgo trees had been washed away by frost and snow, indicating that the first quarter of the school year was about to end...

"Irina, father has something to ask you. Was the trial you participated in extremely difficult? I heard that the winner will be given the opportunity to study in Shenghuaqing College and Royal Jing University." Li Dajun, a heartless warrior, was staring at his daughter at this moment.

"Indeed," Irena replied simply.

"Then why did you refuse?" He frowned.

"Father, has anyone from the Li family come to you and mention this matter to you?" Irina intuitively felt that Li Xiuling's intentions did not stop with her.

"It doesn't matter." Li Dajun's eyes were full of deep understanding.

Irina said frankly, "Father, I don't think this matter is of much significance, so I never mentioned it. I don't need to rely on gifts. With my own strength, I am confident that I can pass the magic college entrance examination."

"If you want to challenge in advance, when do you plan to participate in the trial in the third year of high school?" Li Dajun nodded, full of trust.

"One year later, when I finish my freshman year, I will directly take part in the graduation exam for my senior year," she said firmly.

"Very good, father believes in your choice." His eyes were full of love and support.

"Father, aren't you curious about why I do this?" She raised her eyes.

Li Dajun's eyes sparkled with fatherly love: "Your father cannot help you on your path to learning magic. All I can do is trust you and support you."

"You are really good, father." Irina said gratefully.

She understood the motives of Li Xiuling and the Li family. It was nothing more than seeing her value in her victory in the trial. The Li family was like a cunning owl, and would only act when they saw prey. And Irina was also so sharp and vindictive. Although Li Tu and Li Xiuling favored Li Yan in the previous life, they also cut off their relationship in time when she was framed. After all, they had raised her for many years and never really hurt her.

From another perspective, doesn't Li Dajun also favor her? Blood relationship is not the only criterion for measuring family affection, companionship and care are. She can understand the choices of Li Tu and Li Xiuling, and can treat them indifferently like strangers, as long as they do not touch her bottom line.

However, Li Yan was different. For Li Dajun's sake, she would not put him to death. She knew Li Yan's nature very well. She did not need to take the initiative. She only needed to let her see that she was living well, and Li Yan's jealousy would eat away at her heart like a worm. One day, Li Yan would not be able to hold back, and then, she would let Li Yan experience what it meant to live a life worse than death. She had spent ten years in a dark prison, and she would let Li Yan taste all the struggles, humiliations, and despair.
