Chapter 168: Meeting (3)

"Fourth Head," Aya replied politely and looked at the Fourth Head of the Wansu City in front of her. Even though she had watched the Fourth Head of the Wansu City from a distance and even from outside this office, this might be the first time that she truly came face to face to him.

The meeting in that sweet store was not counted because it was quickly interrupted by the Green Family Patriarch.

"How’s your magic spells’ study progress?" the Fourth Head of the Wansu City asked kindly.

Aya looked at the Fourth Head of the Wansu City doubtfully but she still answered, "It’s going well. Thank you for your concern, Fourth Head."

"Did your teacher cause trouble for you?"

"No, Teacher Silas is very good."

And so on.

Standing beside Aya, Silas also had question marks in his head as he watched the Fourth Head of the Wansu City ask these kinds of questions. He even started to wonder if the Fourth Head of the Wansu City was actually Aya’s grandfather with how kind he was when facing Aya.

But it shouldn’t be.

Even until the end, the Fourth Head of the Wansu City didn’t ask anything about the rank 7 magic warriors and instead asked about Aya’s lives in the White Family. He looked like a kind old man and seemed to be adamant on acting that way.

After around an hour, Aya was allowed to leave.

They walked out of the Fourth Head of the Wansu City’s office and Aya turned to look at Silas. "Brother Silas, why does Fourth Head ask us to see him?"

Was it truly only to ask her those nonsense questions?

Aya started to doubt that the Fourth Head of the Wansu City was in the right mind.

"It should be because he wants to see you and get to know the younger generation," Silas finally said after a while.

He also didn’t know.

The two of them were full of doubts about the Fourth Head of the Wansu City, not understanding what the Fourth Head of the Wansu City truly wanted to do.

"I’ll treat you to a meal before taking you back," Silas finally said.

"Okay." Aya agreed.

...

Inside the office, the Fourth Head of the Wansu City leaned on the chair and glanced at the magic tools that he placed on the table.

It was a transmission device that would let him communicate with others even in a large distance.

"Why did you not ask her anything?" a voice came out from the magic tools, sounded gloomy and annoyed because of the Fourth Head of the Wansu City’s action.

"Do I need to?" the Fourth Head of the Wansu City asked back leisurely. He leaned back on the chair and looked into the distance. "Besides, do you really think that it’s possible to hide their real mana amount from your eyes?"

"Heh."

There was a snort coming from the man on the other side of the magic tools.

While the Fourth Head of the Wansu City’s words were correct, but he was not satisfied with the Fourth Head of the Wansu City’s action.

He felt that the Fourth Head of the Wansu City was wasting time.

"What do you expect to see from her?" the man finally asked.

"Anything that’s not suitable for a girl at that age," the Fourth Head of the Wansu City calmly answered. "If your words are true and there are people who could hide their attainment, then it’s impossible for her to act as a normal child."

"I don’t see anything worthy of paying attention to from this child. Are you sure that you see the right person?"

Hearing this, the Fourth Head of the Wansu City didn’t answer immediately.

He took out a picture from his drawer.

If Aya were here, she would be surprised that in the chaos in Xunsu City, someone still took the time to take a picture of her. But at that time, she was covering her entire body with a cloak and also used the earth element to cover up her face, not letting anyone see her appearance.

But her stature would still be a bit similar.

"Slender hands, long hair, short stature, she’s a bit similar to the person in this picture," the Fourth Head of the Wansu City said slowly. "But her mana’s signature is different."

"How do you know that?"

"Because I can’t sense any earth element from her," the Fourth Head of the Wansu City said calmly.

The man from the magic tools was silent.

To be honest, the Fourth Head of the Wansu City was not directly present when the rank 7 magic warriors made their moves. But the Fourth Head of the Wansu City was an earth element magic warrior, so if there was any other magic warrior of earth element near him, he should be able to detect it.

From Aya, the Fourth Head of the Wansu City didn’t detect anything.

Be it before or not, there didn’t seem to be any different.

"When you reach rank 7, you can hide your entire mana and different elements can also carry different mana signature," the man warned.

"That’s one thing, but how do you think she developed her earth element without sufficient information?" the Fourth Head of the Wansu City interrupted. "Do you know that the White Family only had access to wind and water magic?"

If it was only water magic at rank 7, the Fourth Head of the Wansu City would still suspect it.

But the earth element magic at rank 7...

Let’s be honest, there was none in Wansu City.

Even if the Fourth Head of the Wansu City wanted to search the four big families to look at their records, there would be no rank 7 magic spells of earth element with them. Because none of them produced descendants with earth magic element.

So the Fourth Head of the Wansu City was actually more inclined to the conjecture that this magic warrior came from different cities.

As much as he didn’t want to think that way, but this was the biggest possibility.

As for developing one’s own rank 7 magic spell...

If rank 7 magic spell was so easy to make then the Fourth Head of the Wansu City would not be stuck in rank 6 for who knows how many years. Even his rank as rank 6 magic warriors were unstable and at best, he could only be called as rank 5 magic warriors.

The inheritance of a small family like his background family stopped him from being able to access many high ranked magic spells.

Developing his own magic spell was also considered impossible.

The man on the other side of the magic tool was silent. He glanced at the Fourth Head of the Wansu City and then said, "There might be people from the Central Magic City coming next. You should be more careful in your actions."

After that, he shut the connection off.
