Three days later, Li Xiang and Yao Ji were discharged from the hospital at the same time. Only Ise Shizuko was still in a coma.
During this period, an extremely gloomy man came to the Ise family. His face was haggard as he looked at the unconscious Ise Shizuko and kept cursing. Even Li Xiang and Yao Ji couldn't stand it anymore. When they tried to stop him, he saw through their identities.
Seeing the 180-degree change in his expression and how he was trying to please Yao Ji and himself like a dog, Li Xiang felt pity for the determined girl on the bed.
This man was her biological father and also the current Clan Head of the Yi Clan. However, compared to the Yao Clan's Yao Lie, he was simply like a pile of mud in the mud. He was truly detestable.
He didn't care about his daughter's life and only wanted to sell her for a good price. Now, he obviously wanted to sell Shizuko to Li Xiang for a cheap price. He didn't even ask for the identity of a concubine.
Li Xiang who walked out of the hospital took a deep breath and inhaled all the fresh air outside into his lungs. Only then did he smile with satisfaction.
The deep coldness and stench brought by the Dead Sea seemed to have been expelled from his body along with his breathing.
His body returned to its peak state.
He subconsciously touched the Calamity Heart on his chest and felt the beating of this heart that belonged to him. After confirming that it didn't mutate, he put down his hand.
"Do you think Shizuko will accept her father's arrangement?" Li Xiang suddenly asked.
Yao Ji who was beside him was doing stretching exercises at the entrance of the hospital as if there was no one around. Her seductive and hot body moved along with her movements, attracting many strange gazes.
Her movements paused slightly as she tilted her head to look at Li Xiang. She was slightly taller than Li Xiang and her bright black eyes glowed with a strange light. "I won't accept it anyway."
Shizuko Ise probably wouldn't … After spending some time with her, Enchantress has a deep understanding of this girl who aims to become the strongest ninja. She is cold on the outside but warm on the inside. Her seemingly gentle body hides a heart that is more terrifying than most people.
She wouldn't be willing to be manipulated by fate and others.
"I've already received a message from the vice-principal. I'll be there in a moment to accept the verdict. Now that this matter is over, our club's activities will officially be on track. Please take care of us in the future. "Li Xiang smiled at the icy beauty beside him, just as Mi Li had always emphasized.
From the perspective of the opposite sex, Enchantress was indeed the most charming girl of his age that he had ever seen.
Regardless of whether it was her appearance or her figure, she was far superior. She had a similar temperament to Principal Yao Lie. She was full of heroic spirit and was a very mature woman.
But for some reason, Li Xiang was not like most of the other youths who were charmed by her to the point of being unable to control themselves.
In this aspect, he didn't have much self-control. In front of him was Ming Xu and the other beauties, and behind him was Number One, who had gone crazy for a night in the Sky Arena. However, when it came to Yao Ji, he had a different feeling.
After thinking for a long time, Li Xiang finally came up with a convincing reason.
Enchantress had a scent similar to his. She looked gentle, but she was ruthless and heartless.
In many ways, she was similar to him.
It was impossible for a person to be with him.
This was also the reason why Li Xiang was determined to pull her into his club.
He extended his fist and held it flat in the air. Enchantress was slightly taken aback, but immediately smiled and extended her fist as well.
The two fists collided lightly.
After leaving the hospital, the two of them went their separate ways. During this period of time, he had missed quite a number of classes. Even with the automatic learning with the Mechanical Roulette, he was still extremely nervous. He sped up and hurried to Lighthouse Academy, hoping to complete the follow-up matters as soon as possible so that he could immerse himself in a new round of learning.
.....
Lighthouse Academy, Vice Principal's office.
It was still the familiar style of the study. The air was filled with the reassuring scent of books. Jeffrey was sitting on a mahogany chair, flipping through a thick red book. When he heard Li Xiang's knock on the door, he said calmly, "Come in."
Li Xiang tiptoed into the office. Facing this Level-7 Magician, he maintained his usual respect and reverence. He had always adhered to his own way of doing things. Before he grew up, he would never provoke an overly powerful enemy.
An owl was already a thorn in his back, causing him to be unable to eat or sleep in peace.
"Have a seat. Today's conversation will be a little long. Have you eaten?" Jeffrey closed the red book in his hands and looked at him with a smile.
"Yes, I ate at the hospital."
"How do you feel?"
"I'm all better now. Thank you for your concern, Professor."
After a few words of nonchalance, Jeffrey quickly went into the main topic.
"This time, it's all thanks to you sending me a text message in advance that I could quickly rush to the Dead Sea. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable."
"It's what I should do."
However, Li Xiang thought in his heart, 'Nothing can be hidden from you in school. If I don't report it, it'll be disadvantageous to me …'
After all, it involved the Ogheim family. He had been worried that the Disaster that had overflowed from his body that day had infected Fenix. This matter could not be made public, so he tried his best to avoid these high-level players as much as possible.
Unfortunately, this group of people insisted on teaming up with the tarot cards against Yao Lie, forcing him to take the risk of being discovered and report it.
"Before the verdict, you should listen to the details of the entire matter." Jeffrey waved his staff lightly, and the light screen between the two of them suddenly flashed. Numerous documents with countless red seals floated in the air.
As long as he touched it with his hand, he would be able to see it in front of him.
This was the latest verdict. It had the Seal of the Five Kings, the Mark of Wessex, and the signature of the Katas Mephistopheles Committee. It was also the verdict of the highest standard.
"The impact of this incident is very bad. It started because William Ogham's branch of the tarot card organization cooperated with the border slaughterers. The former member of the tarot card organization, the fugitive of the Black Stone Prisoner, Black Elephant, attempted to kill the level 4 player Yao Lie and steal his family's keepsake." Li Xiang read the verdict silently, but his heart was gloomy. He was probably the only one who knew the truth of the matter.
It was not William's branch that cooperated with them, but the entire Ogham family!
That fellow dared to appear in front of him and shout so arrogantly. This meant that it was certain that Li Xiang would not dare to expose its existence. At the same time, it was 100% confident that it would not be discovered by the Ogham family.
It was almost certain that it had already taken control of this family. Otherwise, with the power of a super family, it would be impossible for them not to discover it.
It would also not be so stupid as to collude with the tarot card organization as Black King's confidant.
However, this did not explain why the punishment was so light.
"The Ogham family will be demoted to a normal family. The family's share will be reduced by one-third. All the family members involved in this matter will either be beheaded or exiled. The rest of the family members will be demoted to an upper-class family. All their profits for the next ten years will be handed over."
Li Xiang continued to read the verdict silently. This verdict was strong and powerful, and it was indeed a thunderous blow. It completely knocked these families into the dust, and they would not be able to rise again for at least thirty years.
There were a total of nineteen families involved in this incident, spread across the seven continents. They had mobilized hundreds of magic users, all for a mere family keepsake!
After the verdict was announced, the whole world would tremble. The structure of the families in the seven continents would also change slightly.
It was no wonder that a family like the He family would spare no effort to rise to a higher level. As the most solid and powerful power structure in the seven continents, the aristocratic family system was the channel through which the Five Great Thrones and other supreme powers would pass down a certain amount of authority. They had countless resources and wealth, and could allow countless people in a family to prosper.
Just looking at the amount of wealth that these families had been fined in the verdict made Li Xiang feel suffocated!
They actually had such a huge amount of resources and wealth!
In comparison, the lives of ordinary people at the bottom were indeed simple and plain.
The annual income of an aristocratic family was enough to support all the expenses of a numbered city.
Such a distorted structure of the world shocked Li Xiang. He used to think that the world was like this, but after training and the unified recruitment exam, he realized that the world was a little different. When he became a magic user, he only saw the tip of the iceberg.
However, what he had seen in the past eighteen years of his life was not as impactful as the words in the verdict.
"What do you think of the punishment?" Jeffrey looked at him with a smile.
Li Xiang swallowed and pretended to be calm as he replied, "Too low."
"Haha, I knew this kid would say that. He is indeed as black-hearted as his teacher." A figure slowly walked out from the shadows behind him. He had white curly hair, a melancholy temperament, and was dressed in aristocratic clothing.
It was Felix Caesar the Third. After the Ultimate Trial, he had been promoted to an official scholar of the Chronometer Tower. He was one of the most famous people of the Mesozoic generation.
Because of the Night Shadow, he had taken care of Li Xiang in the Ultimate Trial and the final ranking competition.
