Chapter Summary
No matter where you go or what you do, many will advise you against confronting these mages, warning you that things will only end badly. Shangguan Qingyun thought about it himself and realized that Lin Lei would not kill his nephew. But if there are real mages accompanying them, no one would dare to act rudely towards them unless they didn't want to continue in the guild.
The guy quickly explained that he had no ulterior motives. He was worried that if Lord Linley suspected him of having designs on him, things would get complicated. Having designs on a mage was no small matter if it got out; it could lead to the confiscation of property and even the extermination of one's family, potentially causing a series of other problems. So he had to explain quickly. Lord Linley was known for his good temper, but who could predict the actions of these mages? They might be having a pleasant conversation one moment, and a single icicle could kill them the next. That's exactly what happened at Yale, wasn't it? Many people filmed it, and it circulated wildly online, but what could they do? Could they arrest him and put him in jail? Which prison would dare to take him?
If you commit a crime against a mage, you're in for a world of trouble. Countless people, including the Mage's Guild, will come after you. They'll likely try to kill you. But if a mage commits a crime against you, you'll be left with no recourse. No matter where you go or what you do, many will advise you against confronting these mages, warning you that things will only end badly. And indeed, that's been proven true. Take the Tucker family, for example. The evidence against their young master—that Yale had killed him—was impeccable, with numerous witnesses. But what happened? A barrage of threats from above and below, and that was the end of it. If you still insist on pursuing the matter, then you're simply being naive.
After hearing this, Lin Lei's expression gradually relaxed. Shangguan Qingyun saw all of this. When he saw Lin Lei's expression, he immediately understood that this matter had nothing to do with Lin Lei. The reason Lin Lei had such a wary look was because he was afraid that Shangguan Qingyun would harm him. Shangguan Qingyun thought about it himself and realized that Lin Lei would not kill his nephew. There was no reason for Lin Lei to do so. The two sides had dealings with each other. Even for the sake of the leader of the Mage Guild, it was impossible for him to kill someone.
"I know what you're trying to do. Keep doing your own thing, I won't interfere with you. But I don't want you to interfere with mine either. You know the Ancient Ruins are about to open, and I need to achieve excellent results there. We're currently searching for the best training ground around here. If you need any information about us, I can give it to you out of respect for his older brother. I can also help you if you need our assistance. But if you interfere with my training, don't blame me for being impolite. I don't care if someone in your family has died. The Ancient Ruins are the most important thing to me. The entire guild and all the mages are also taking this matter very seriously. You can think about it yourself. I don't need to say anything more."
Linley displayed the domineering aura befitting a mage, making it clear to everyone that while he was generally good-natured, he wasn't obligated to obey their every whim. He warned the old man that if they wanted trouble, they'd better see how capable they were. Hearing Linley's words, the old man broke out in a cold sweat. If they delayed the Mage's Guild's affairs, even if people died, and the entire Shangguan family mobilized, the outcome wouldn't be good. The Mage's Guild was notorious worldwide for its unforgiving nature, especially since they had come looking for trouble. They would see how the guild dealt with them.
In fact, magicians have such privileges. Generally speaking, magicians never lie, which is a consensus among all ordinary people. This is because magicians have no need to lie. They have all sorts of privileges in human society. If they want to get something from someone, they only need to give a slight hint, and someone will immediately do it for them. There are simply too many people who want to ask them for favors, so they lack nothing in this world and have even less need to lie. Therefore, Shangguan Qingyun believed that Mr. Lin Lei was a person of good character in the Magicians' Guild and would never lie to him.
After Lin Lei turned around, Liu Ning also turned around. Leaving your back to someone in the wilderness is extremely dangerous, but Lin Lei did it anyway. Liu Ning was a little worried, but Lin Lei gave him a look, warning him not to be wary at that moment. If he were wary, he might give himself away. The Shangguan family members weren't fools; they knew how powerful the Mage Guild was. If they were to do anything to a mage in the wild, they would be risking their lives. As long as they wanted to continue their line of work, they would never dare to do anything to a mage.
"You magicians are really something else. The Shangguan family is one of the eight major groups. Normally, if something like this happened, countless people would suffer. But when it came to you, that old man didn't dare utter a word. After listening to a few words, he actually led his men back. If I'm not mistaken, although there are other hunting teams around, if they can wipe out Shangguan Bao, it's probably only our team. I believe they will come back. We can't just dismiss our suspicions because of your words."
Although Liu Ning left his back to these people, he was also keeping an eye on them. Liu Ning didn't have the confidence, nor did he dare to entrust his back to others so easily. However, the Shangguan family members really didn't cause any trouble and left in a sorry state. This also shows that the authority of the Mage Guild is indeed like this. No one dares to offend them, especially when mages are present. If it were just some magical followers, their control would be significantly reduced. But if there are real mages accompanying them, no one would dare to act rudely towards them unless they didn't want to continue in the guild. Everyone knows about the Mage Guild's protective behavior, so they dare not make any mistakes in this matter.
Liu Ning wasn't part of the guild, so he wasn't familiar with Lin Lei and treated this as a routine operation.
