"Hmm, I indeed am Bai Jingxuan, but the matter is complicated, and it's hard to explain clearly right now,"
Bai Jingxuan, having no clue about Tian Sheng's thoughts, tried to control the flight direction while summarizing her answer to his question, "If I were to explain it briefly, it would be because I encountered a fairy."
"A fairy?"
Tian Sheng blinked, turning his head to look at the Moke flying alongside: "You an this thing?"
"What do you an 'this thing'? Are all human magicians as impolite as you?"
Hearing his reference, Moke was sowhat displeased and said, "I am a Seeder, a Seeder! To you, that would be like a high-ranking official from the kingdom!"
Tian Sheng was just as puzzled by the term Seeder, and only after Bai Jingxuan continued to explain did he co to understand its aning, sowhat enlightened, he said, "So, this fairy is the ssenger responsible for selecting Magical Girls, and it had actually sought you out already?"
He pondered briefly and quickly began to make various associations: "Then, the incident at the orphanage today, could it be..."
"Yeah, although I don't know why, it seems they were after ."
Hearing this, Bai Jingxuan looked down, feeling sowhat disheartened: "I might have implicated everyone at the orphanage."
"Hey! What are you talking about? This isn't about implicating anyone; without you, they would still be a bunch of scoundrels, just harming others instead. You're the victim; you don't need to bear their cris ntally,"
Tian Sheng wasn't concerned as he defended her, "Let's not talk about this pointless subject. Rather, your Magic Power... I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I feel that my wounds are healing faster after coming into contact with this magic than when using healing spells. Did you do sothing?"
He had been seriously injured during the battle, suffering from a potentially fatal puncture wound. Even using a healing spell could at best keep him alive, but ever since Bai Jingxuan rescued him, he felt the wound gradually beca less painful.
Even now, pressing gently on the wound, no fresh blood seeped out.
"I don't know, I didn't do anything."
Bai Jingxuan was just as puzzled and could only shake her head. After a mont, she seed to rember sothing and looked towards the fairy, "Moke, do you know why?"
Moke didn't know.
The fairy wished it could respond that way when called upon.
As a half-competent Seeder, it really only had a rudintary understanding of Magical Girls, otherwise it wouldn't need Erald Sparrow to handle the teaching.
Bai Jingxuan's Magic Power seed to naturally possess the ability to heal others, but whether this was a special case or a common phenonon; whether it was a good or bad thing; or even if there was any historical record of it in the kingdom, it knew nothing about it and naturally couldn't offer a clear explanation.
"Well, how should I put it..."
Considering it needed to maintain a reliable image in front of Bai Jingxuan, Moke had to rack its brains and pondered, "I rember seeing sothing like this in a book before, it should have a precedent, but it's indeed very special."
The answer seed important, yet ambiguous, left for a future understanding.
After all, neither Lin Xiaolu nor Xia Liang had exhibited this trait in their Magic Power, making Bai Jingxuan's case relatively unique. Whether there was a precedent or not, if there was, it would match what it had said; if there wasn't, it could simply say it rembered incorrectly. Either way, the explanation was in its court.
"What kind of book was it?" Bai Jingxuan held an interest in the topic of books, and when Moke ntioned it had read about it in a book, she followed up with a question.
"You'll get to see it later! "
Worrying about being found out, Moke quickly and adamantly changed the subject: "Anyway, this isn't the ti to talk about this. First, let's focus on getting out of the barrier! Then I can conveniently call for reinforcents!"
It silently planned to call over the patrol enforcer later and ask her if she knew.
Bai Jingxuan and Tian Sheng clearly had more questions, but there wasn't ti for further idle talk as they soon arrived at the edge of the orphanage's district, beneath the barrier.
Having reached the location from its mory, Moke flew over first and tried to push through, finding that its paw still could not break through, it imdiately waved its arms calling out, "Here, here!"
Bai Jingxuan descended slowly from the sky, nodded, and then supported Tian Sheng as they walked to the barrier's edge.
After being supported to the right position, Tian Sheng reached out, sensed the strength and direction of the barrier's magic, closed his eyes to ponder for a mont, then patted Bai Jingxuan's shoulder lightly:
"It's okay now, let stand on my own."
Having been suffused with Bai Jingxuan's Magic Power throughout the flight, his injuries had improved significantly. Although the wound still hurt, it was no longer life-threatening; he was just in a weak state.
Bai Jingxuan was slightly worried but obediently released her hold, standing aside. Seeing that Tian Sheng seed to be able to stand on his own, she relaxed a bit but still kept an eye on his condition, in case he suddenly fell.
Tian Sheng stood in place, took a few deep breaths, then looked up at the barrier in front of him, starting to observe its structure.
"When I say so, attack the points I specify with your magic to disrupt its operational structure, and then I will seize the opportunity to dismantle the barrier," he said.
He raised his hand, pointing towards several spots on the barrier: "If we go in order, that would be 30 degrees to the left of your position, then above..."
—"The order of attack should be you first, then that damn fairy, and finally the uncooperative priestess."
