Chapter 1026: Chapter 1026: A Difficult Choice
Amidst the sounds of praise, only two people harbored deep hatred for her, and they were ng Yan’s parents.
ng Yu’s approach seed gentle and magnanimous, saving ng Yan’s reputation while also preserving the Phantom Spirit family’s face, but ng Yan’s parents knew that their daughter’s life was practically ruined.
Before marriage, she was a missy from a prestigious and influential family; after marriage, she beca a re housewife from an ordinary family. The Phantom Spirit family would no longer provide her with various forms of support, and for her to re-enter the upper echelons as a commoner would be another uphill battle.
Ah Hu is already in his thirties and nothing but a Low-Level Magic Instructor, which shows that his magic talents are diocre. When they have children, the likelihood of the children being highly gifted is slim, and they would probably also lead ordinary lives.
However, if things proceeded as Lian Fu initially intended, by killing Ah Hu, the situation would be vastly different.
Should Ah Hu die, ng Yan, after all, is from the Phantom Spirit family; even if she were imprisoned for a few months, she would be unhard, continuing her life as the privileged young lady.
Even with future marriage prospects limited, considering her looks and background, finding another older or widowed man from a significant family to be her husband wouldn’t be difficult. Then she’d transform from a missy to a lady of high status, commanding influence and living without any concerns for food and clothing.
And the one everyone called the kindest and gentlest ng Yu pushed matters towards the worst possible path, leaving ng Yan possibly without a chance to turn her life around ever again.
As it turned out, their worries were utterly justified.
A few months later, due to a small mistake made while at work, Ah Hu was dismissed by the Phantom Spirit family and could only return to his countryside hotown to seek a new path.
As his wife with whom he had a wedding ceremony, ng Yan of course had to accompany him. Where before she could rely on her parents’ status to live in a spacious and luxurious house, now she had to follow her husband to whatever life he led.
Qin Sisi later sought confirmation of this incident from Ye You, who nonchalantly said, "I was responsible for the dicine, but what happened later had nothing to do with . It was soone inside the Phantom Spirit family who was deliberately making things difficult for her."
Qin Sisi raised an eyebrow, tentatively asking, "Could it be... that warmhearted, angelically beautiful classmate of yours?"
Ye You gave her a cold glance, then wrapped his arm around her and pulled her into his embrace, kissing her fiercely, nearly crushing her bones, and tearing a bit of her blouse in the process.
Qin Sisi begged for rcy repeatedly until Ye You finally stopped, warning her in a low voice by her ear, "Dare to talk like that again, and believe it or not, I’ll devour you right now..."
Qin Sisi, panting, shrank back into Ye You’s embrace, no longer daring to deliberately provoke him, but she understood that Ye You’s actions were a demonstration of loyalty, signaling to her that he had no involvent with ng Yu, which reassured her quite a bit.
It’s not that she was being paranoid; after all, few n could resist a woman who embodied beauty, power, intelligence, heritage, and wealth.
Ti flies by like water, and in the blink of an eye, another year passes.
In their third year entering the Heavenly Magic God’s Castle, which was also the fifth sester, another choice had to be made.
Out of the six Magic Attributes they selected a year ago, they had to choose three to continue practicing, while ceasing practice of the other three.
This choice was even more difficult than the last one; it was essentially betting on the future, as the three kinds of Magic selected would beco the peak reliance on one’s journey of Magic practice.
Faced with this choice, Qin Sisi found it particularly challenging. To beco a Forging Master, Golden Magic and Fire Magic were mandatory choices, and adding Alchemy made up three. However, her most beloved Music Magic also tugged at her heart.
She could set aside Earth Magic and Thunder Magic for the ti being, but she really did not want to give up Music Magic.
Whenever she practiced other magics, she felt tired, but with Music Magic, even though she was also continually expending magic power, both her body and mind relaxed, as if she was naturally in harmony with Music Magic.
Having no choice, Qin Sisi tried communicating with her teachers. After discussing, the teachers agreed to Qin Sisi’s request but also reminded her that choosing an additional magic would be much more challenging than for the others.
She had her way and selected four kinds of Magic: Golden Magic, Fire Magic, Music Magic, and Alchemy. She was also ready to work tirelessly for it.
While everyone else had chosen only three kinds of Magic, Ya Ling teased her for overestimating her capabilities upon learning of her exceptionality.
Latter on, Teacher Yi Rou told her that she was not the first special case; there had been others who wanted to select more Magic Attributes in the past. The most exceptional was Ye You, who chose five during his second selection.
Originally, his choices were Fire, Earth, and Thunder, but both Teacher Wuduo and Teacher Mo Liu had high hopes for him and were unwilling to give up on him. In the end, Ye You had no choice but to select both Forging and Alchemy as well.
Upon graduation, Ye You not only excelled in learning the three Attribute Magics but also beca a Third Level Forgemaster and a second-level Alchemist.
Qin Sisi was aware of Ye You’s excellence but had not anticipated him to be that outstanding. Since he managed to do so well with five selections, she couldn’t fall too far behind him; otherwise, how would she walk shoulder to shoulder with him in the future?
The Magic skills they learned during the last two sesters possessed extrely powerful lethal force. When one’s Magic power reached a certain level, it was possible to carve mountains and split seas, shaking the heavens and the earth, of course, these Magic skills also consud a trendous amount of magic power, hence they were not to be used unless absolutely necessary.
Qin Sisi knew her foundation was weak; what Ye You initially taught her was not comprehensive, partly because of the limitation in ti and partly because of her own talent.
After she gained a deeper understanding of Magic, when she went back to review what Ye You had taught her, she found herself much more proficient than before.
So, she took so ti to revisit the theoretical knowledge about various kinds of Magic, and even mastered those less lethal skills taught by the Earth Academy to cover her basic deficiencies.
At the end of the sester, they entered the rainbow-flashing trial tower on Tianyi Mountain once more for the final examination, only this ti the assessnt was only on the three or four kinds of Magic they had chosen, with the final rankings based on the average score.
The final scores for Qin Sisi’s four kinds of Magic were all 99 points, making her the top student again with an average score of 99 points.
After ingesting the pill awarded by Master Yipiao, Qin Sisi’s body suddenly emitted a faint blue glow. She felt all the fatigue from the examinations vanish, her body beca lighter, filled with an abundant supply of magic power, seemingly ready to unleash even greater strength at any ti.
With a chuckle, Master Yipiao said, "Congratulations to student Qin Sisi for advancing to Magic Star."
Qin Sisi had been longing for this day. When the surprise ca suddenly, she was a bit startled. With Xiao ng’s reminder, she regained her composure to check her Magic Source, only to see the previous green mist had now turned into a clear blue, like the vast clear skies of an autumn day.
