After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply-Chapter 731 - 508, Clever Bailuo, Mysterious Three People

Her gaze swept across the names written in the photograph, and then, suddenly, her pupils constricted sharply.

“This is…”

When Bailuo walked out of the collection room, her steps felt so light they seemed weightless, her mind roaring incessantly, her thoughts tangled like yarn.

It was just as she suspected. Except for that girl named Cafni, all others associated with the Phoenix Tail Flower—including the departed Lulu—were old members of the Primitive Adventure Team.

That was enough to explain certain things.

She stopped blankly in the center of the living room, staring at the massive hanging painting.

A man in a black trench coat was holding the hand of a Cat-People girl, walking side by side out of the gates of a third-rate academy.

The man snatched her Magic Wand, handing her a pair of glowing blue swords.

His fingers tapped twice in the void, as if touching some kind of invisible entity.

Then, the man lowered his head and said softly to her:

“You are not useless. In my eyes, you are the future Legendary Swordsman.”

At that time, Bailuo was facing the crisis of expulsion from the academy. After studying for three years, she couldn’t even master low-level magic; the fate awaiting her was likely joining some adventure team living in the slums and wasting her life away with a group of smelly Beastmen warriors.

If her luck was bad, she might even die tomorrow under the World Tree.

Bailuo would never accept such a sorrowful destiny!

But even when she gave it her all, practicing until the early hours of the morning every day, she still couldn’t command those cryptic and twisted magic spells.

Her Magic Circuit felt as if it were filled with sand and mud—every time she tried to circulate magic power, she would feel an intense sense of blockage, and smoothly casting spells felt as impossible as reaching the heavens.

The enormous cost and risk of changing professions wasn’t something an orphan had the qualifications or courage to take on.

Before fifteen, Bailuo was merely an ordinary Beastman seen everywhere in the slums.

Until the Dark Shadow bent down under the setting sun and extended a hand to the young girl:

“I will make you the new legend.”

The light in his eyes stung Bailuo, and her trembling little hand was firmly grasped by him. From that moment, Bailuo knew that she would have only one teacher in her lifetime—the one standing before her.

“Let’s have some cake before the Priest Miss arrives.”

Picking up the delicate gift box on the table, Bailuo felt a warm current rise in her heart.

On the day she joined the Primitive Adventure Team, her teacher gave her a cake as a gift. That day happened to be her fifteenth birthday. Whether it was the Dark Shadow’s thoughtfulness or the taste of the cake, it left a memorable impression.

Her favorability doubled instantly.

“Huh?”

Bailuo froze again. She opened the gift box, discovering that inside wasn’t a strawberry cake, but a small blue crystal box, roughly the size of a baby’s palm.

She suspiciously opened the box.

Instantly, a vast wave of magic surged, and pure white holy light illuminated the entire living room!

Bathed in the light, the dark corruption on Bailuo’s left shoulder felt as if some kind of painkiller had been applied, the pain diminishing by at least half.

Inside the small box lay a crystalline tear pearl.

It resembled a goddess’s tears falling in compassion for the world, solidified into a gem.

Bailuo stared blankly for a long time.

The Cat-People girl’s ears drooped weakly against her head as she held her lips tightly together, clutching the gemstone to her chest. Her reddened eyes spilled uncontrollable tears that couldn’t be wiped away.

It was ranked 65th among the 71 types of [Miracles]—a fragment of the [Life Tear]!

Such a precious artifact, even Heaven Rank adventurers sought in vain.

It could easily be exchanged for an Ancient Level magical equipment.

Bailuo had long noticed that Lin Da had many pieces of Legendary Equipment, but not one at the Ancient Level.

Their relationship mostly revolved around mutual secrecy; for Lin Da to casually give away this priceless magic item was something a stranger could hardly fathom.

Bailuo stepped onto the balcony, gazing toward the campus below.

It was evident that someone had already departed.

A touch of disappointment flashed in her eyes.

Knock, knock.

“Dean Bailuo, I’ve come to clean your wound.”

“Coming.”

Bailuo walked toward the doorway. Deep down, she thought to herself—next time they meet, she would surely unveil Lin Da’s true identity.

If he truly was her teacher… Bailuo suddenly recalled Lin Da’s casually spoken words: “——I envy your teacher. If I were him, I’d be so happy I wouldn’t be able to sleep at night.”

A remarkable brilliance erupted in Bailuo’s azure eyes.

In her excitement, her comprehension of the [Rapid Flow Law] surged, gaining yet another Rule Fragment!

Although her rank was still insufficient for a breakthrough to Heaven Rank, her understanding of the Rapid Flow Law had already reached the required standard!
