Chapter 280 Got Caught!

Tang Li Xue with her limited knowledge did not know how to strengthen Little Loki's tiny body, so she decided to ask someone more knowledgeable.

Amongst all the people Tang Li Xue knew, Instructor Mei Lan was surely the most knowledgeable.

Tang Li Xue stored the feverish Little Loki back into her system pet storage, so Little Loki could sleep undisturbed there.

Tang Li Xue took a bath with Yaya before leaving their room together.

She tried to knocking Bing Yi's room and Hei Yinghao's room to check if they already came back from their mission.

But it seems both of them were still carrying out their mission outside the Myriad Foxes Academy and still had not come back yet.

Since they still have some time before the class time was over, Tang Li Xue decided to bring Yaya to the luxurious restaurant on the first floor of the Residential Building.

Although Tang Li Xue did not have many credits left in her silver card, but she still had more than enough to treat Yaya to eat some expensive luxurious meals to celebrate their mission completion today.

'I spend most of my credits to buy the three best quality of High-Level [Rare] grade beast cores before. I really should make more talismans if I have some free time and sell it to replenish my credits.' Tang Li Xue silently thought while gobbling the delicious foods in front of her.

After eating to their heart's content and both of them felt really full, Tang Li Xue brought Yaya out from the Residential Building and heading to the Education Building.

Tang Li Xue decided to not enter the Education Building and heading directly to Instructor Mei Lan's courtyard behind the Education Building.

She did not want to meet with Teacher Li Wei yet for today because if she met with him now, he would certainly drag her away to attend his private lesson about the inscription in the classroom.

Tang Li Xue knocked on Instructor Mei Lan's front gate a few times, but she got no response. She did not give up and knocked it several more times, but still got no response.

It seems Instructor Mei Lan was still teaching the students in her class, so Tang Li Xue decided to wait for Instructor Mei Lan for a while in front of the gate.

However, Instructor Mei Lan still did not come back to her courtyard even after Tang Li Xue waited for more than one hour.

Tang Li Xue instead ran into Teacher Li Wei, who wanted to return to his courtyard.

Tang Li Xue immediately activated her [Ethereal Form] to escape from Teacher Li Wei, but unfortunately, it was already too late since Teacher Li Wei had already seen her from afar.

Teacher Li Wei waved one of his hands toward the vanishing Tang Li Xue, and a faint dim azure light shot out in an instant.

The faint dim azure light formed into the 'Restrain' rune and flashed toward the invisible Tang Li Xue.

Tang Li Xue used her [Moonlight Flickering Flash Step] to dodge it, and she planned to get away from there as fast as she could. Who knew that Teacher Li Wei 'Restrain' rune did not aim at her but on the ground below her feet.

WWEEEEEEEENGG~!!!

The ground below Tang Li Xue's feet lighted up with dim azure light, and a huge 'Restrain' rune was formed in the radius of 3 meters, restraining everything in that radius from moving.

Even Tang Li Xue, in her [Ethereal Form], was not spared from the effect of the 'Restrain' rune. She gritted her teeth and tried to forcefully move her feet. Unfortunately, that was only a futile effort since she still could not move any of her body parts.

Teacher Li Wei leisurely walked toward Tang Li Xue's direction while waving his hand again. This time he shot the 'Reveal' rune toward Tang Li Xue.

The dazzling golden light shone like sunlight in Tang Li Xue's direction, but Tang Li Xue remained in her invisible state, and her [Ethereal Form] still had not been canceled.

"Eh, what skill is that? Not bad, it can even resist my 'Reveal' rune. Let's see if you can resist this!" Teacher Li Wei chuckled and waved his hand for the third time.

This time he decided to use the 'Freezing' rune on the invisible Tang Li Xue!

The temperature around Tang Li Xue immediately dropped in an instant, even the ground below her feet already covered by white frost.

It did not take long for Tang Li Xue's slender figure to be covered by white frost too, and she turned into an ice statue, even her [Ethereal Form] was canceled at the same time.

When the freezing coldness started to invade her inside, Tang Li Xue's Flame of Pride subconsciously countered with its extremely high temperature to warm Tang Li Xue's body.

The white frost wrapped Tang Li Xue's body has started to melt, and she broke free from it without any trouble.

But Teacher Li Wei already stood right in front of Tang Li Xue after she freed herself from the ice.

"Little Lass, you really did already ask my permission to take the silver badge trial before, but you should notify it immediately after you completed your mission and come back here! But here you are, wandering around like a naughty fox without attending any classes!" Teacher Li Wei scolded Tang Li Xue like a little kid that skipping school.

"Teacher Wei, I… Uhh… that is my plan too! I planned to notify Instructor Lan first about my return before notifying you and Teacher Bai." Tang Li Xue replied while lowered her head in guilty.

Teacher Li Wei raised his eyebrow and asked with a stern tone: "Then why do you run away from me just now?"

Tang Li Xue: "….."

Actually, Tang Li Xue planned to strengthen Little Loki's body as soon as possible after she asked Instructor Mei Lan about how to do it.

She would only attend the classes after she resolved Little Loki's critical illness.

Teacher Li Wei's face twitched under his fox mask in anger when he stared at the unrepentant Tang Li Xue.

Teacher Li Wei pinched Tang Li Xue's squishy white cheek and pulled her toward him: "Come with me! We will begin our inscription lesson now at my place! You do not have any other work to do now anyway, right?!"

"Aiyaaaa~~!!! It's hurt! Teacher Wei, it really is hurt! Can… Can we talk? But please release my cheek first! I am sorry, but I really cannot attend the class for now! I really have something important to do!" Tang Li Xue yelled and begged at Teacher Li Wei.

Teacher Li Wei released Tang Li Xue's cheek and stared at her intently: "This is the second time! Do not try to run away from me again for the third time or I will really make you regret it, understand?!"

Tang Li Xue nodded obediently at Teacher Li Wei.

Teacher Li Wei's heart softened a bit, and he asked again: "Speak! What 'something important' you need to do today?"

"My companion is in critical condition right now. I must find a way to strengthen its sickly body as soon as possible or the consequence would be unimaginable! Teacher Wei, do you have some way to do that?" Tang Li Xue asked Teacher Li Wei with a solemn expression.

Teacher Li Wei thought deeply for a few moments before asked Tang Li Xue again: "I have several ways, but can you let me check at the condition of your friend first? There is some chance that your friend's condition would be worsened if we just give something random to your friend without carefully identifying the root cause."

"This… My companion told me to not let anyone see it in that condition before. But… Teacher Wei, you do not need to worry about it! I can guarantee that my companion only needs to strengthen its body to recover from its illness!" Tang Li Xue replied with a tone filled with confidence after she pondered it for a while.

Of course, she would never let anyone see her Little Loki before she could find a way to disguise its form.

The only one who ever saw Little Loki until now was the core disciple of Immortal Sword Sect, Ye Zhen.

Ye Zhen was a martial art maniac, so he only ever read books about martial arts before. He was only 16-17 years old too, so his knowledge was not that deep yet.

But Teacher Li Wei was different!

Not only he was already several hundred years old, but he was also the prodigy in Inscription art. He must have already read countless books from different fields of knowledge until now.

His knowledge was surely unfathomably deep.

Tang Li Xue really did not dare to let Teacher Li Wei see her Little Loki!

Teacher Li Wei stared suspiciously at Tang Li Xue, but he determined that Tang Li Xue was not lying to him at all because her expression was filled with anxiousness and worry right now.

"All right, follow me! I will tell you the way to strengthen your friend's body at my place." Teacher Li Wei led Tang Li Xue to his courtyard.

"Thank you very much, Teacher Wei!" Tang Li Xue felt relieved and happily thanked him.

"Little Lass, do not feel too happy just yet! There is nothing free in this world! If you want to get something, you must trade it with something of equal value in return. Do you understand what it means?" Teacher Li Wei chuckled mischievously at Tang Li Xue.
