Chapter Summary
Suddenly, those people realized that even if he was easy to talk to, he was still a magician. Do you understand what I'm saying?" Lin Lei's instantaneous fireballs are indeed powerful, but they can only deal with warrior-level opponents. If it were an ordinary person being bullied, Liu Ning would feel some guilt, but what Shangguan Bao had done was so terrible that even dying ten times wouldn't be enough to atone for his mistakes.
Is he going to attack at the slightest provocation? The person behind him tried to dodge quickly, but unfortunately, the guy was a fraction too slow, and he was already reduced to ashes. Wasn't Mr. Linley supposed to be very easy to talk to? What's going on now? Why is he behaving so strangely? Suddenly, those people realized that even if he was easy to talk to, he was still a magician.
Magicians are transcendent beings among humans. They must have been in a bad mood just now. When Mr. Linley arrived, those people were just talking normally, the same to everyone. But Mr. Linley suddenly got angry. Shangguan Qingyun understood what was going on. Mr. Linley must have felt that his authority had been challenged. Otherwise, how could he have killed someone in front of so many people? This was definitely the first time.
"I don't want to repeat myself a second time. The wilderness belongs to all humans, as human society has demonstrated. If you have the ability to rule this place, then this area is indeed yours. But if you don't have that ability, then there's no need to say more. I don't want to kill anyone again. Do you understand what I'm saying?"
Lin Lei's instantaneous fireballs are indeed powerful, but they can only deal with warrior-level opponents. However, Lin Lei currently has two fireballs hovering in the sky. If Shangguan Qingyun dares to say no, he'll have to teach this guy a lesson. Shangguan Qingyun's strength is not bad, but there is a significant gap between him and Liu Ning. If the two sides were to actually fight, Shangguan Qingyun would likely suffer a great loss. Lin Lei's attitude is now very clear: either get out of here, or taste my fireballs. It's up to you all to choose, and it's up to Shangguan Qingyun to make a decision. This decision is not easy to make.
Liu Ning watched in stunned silence. In Liu Ning's mind, Lin Lei was a good person who would never do such a thing. Today, he had truly exceeded expectations. Liu Ning didn't know what to say about Lin Lei's attitude. Thinking of that disgusting guy Shangguan Bao, Liu Ning remained silent. If it were an ordinary person being bullied, Liu Ning would feel some guilt, but what Shangguan Bao had done was so terrible that even dying ten times wouldn't be enough to atone for his mistakes. You people are his family, so you have to take some responsibility. Who told you guys not to teach him properly? If you had instilled a proper set of values in him from a young age, he probably wouldn't have done such outrageous things. That's beyond human decency; even a ferocious beast wouldn't do that.
The Shangguan family immediately retreated. A few young men, unaware of the danger, were still eager to try their luck, but Shangguan Qingyun immediately stopped them. "What a joke! You little brats, you're not even fully grown yet, and you dare to think of attacking a mage? Don't you know your own strength? If you really attack a mage, even if you gain a slight advantage now, it will definitely not end well. The Mage Guild might attack the Shangguan family, and then it will be too late for you to regret it. Besides, how could a mage train in the wild without a complete guard? Do you think these people next to you are joking? They are all much stronger than you. You'd probably be corpses before you even touched them."
"We are truly sorry to have disturbed Mr. Linley's cultivation. We will lift the blockade now, and Mr. Linley is free to hunt here. However, our family must provide an explanation. After all, Shangguan Bao is the second-in-command of our family. We need to continue our investigation here. We hope Mr. Linley will agree..."
That's how powerful people are. Even though you have serious business to attend to here, and we're just here to cultivate, you still have to give Mr. Linley some explanation. That's the power of the Mage Guild. Mr. Linley is a good person, but his temper just now shocked them. In the blink of an eye, one was dead and one was injured. If they continue to act recklessly here, they don't know how Mr. Linley will react. Besides, this place isn't far from the city, and the Mage Guild has offices in various cities.
"I don't care about your business, and you shouldn't worry about mine either. I'll have some warrior-level ferocious beasts coming over later. If you're willing to conduct an investigation in the area, it's best to do it at night. You can come during the day if you're not afraid of dying. I only guarantee the safety of my own team members. Your people are responsible for their own safety. Do you understand what I'm saying?"
When Lin Lei said this, everyone present deflated like wilted eggplants. He made it very clear: what you do is your business, and he had no intention of interfering. But then again, if you wanted to conduct actual reconnaissance in the area, you'd have to see if you had the capability. He was going to fight against the warrior-level beasts. When those beasts came, they didn't care if you were allies or not. As long as they saw humans, they would become extremely excited. They didn't care if you had any conflicts and might just eat you without giving you a chance to explain. So, these guys all had some doubts, but none of them dared to say anything. Just look at the pool of black ash next to them. Did anyone want to end up like that?
"I really admire your skills. I didn't know you could solve problems like this. The more capable you are, the more afraid these people will become. If we are too friendly to them, they might take advantage of us and start to suspect us too."
Liu Ning was utterly impressed. The mage's reputation was incredibly useful. So what if they were one of the eight major groups? They could do whatever they wanted. If they really wanted to cause trouble, they'd see if the mage's guild was as powerful as the eight major groups.
"Actually, I'm taking a risk too. I had some internal struggle just now. If I didn't do this, these people would probably continue to doubt us. The more assertive we are, the faster their doubts will dissipate. So I'm not just doing this for myself, but for the whole team. You should learn from this; there's a lot to learn here..."
