The Wizard of Fairy Tale World-Chapter 75Book 2: : Report

Vol 2 Chapter 75: Report

Amidst the sky filled with thunder, Zheng Fa and the other two stood facing each other.

Chen Ting’s treasured mirror trembled slightly under the impact of the seal, humming as it returned to his arms. The light on its surface dimmed considerably—just like the look in his eyes.

He gazed at Pang Shishu, who stood beside Zheng Fa, his lips moving as if hesitating on how to address him.

Pang Shishu also looked at him, his gaze complicated.

Zheng Fa stood quietly on the side, even holding his breath a little—this master-disciple reunion, leading into a love-hate showdown...

It felt like he should be hiding under a carriage.

After a brief silence—

Chen Ting suddenly raised both hands.

His abrupt movement startled Pang Shishu, who instinctively stepped in front of Zheng Fa, clearly on guard against a sneak attack.

Zheng Fa suddenly felt that the way Chen Ting looked at him was a bit piercing—

Like someone who just got NTR’d, staring at the blond guy...

Chen Ting clasped his hands together and bowed toward Pang Shishu. “Master, do you really distrust me so much now?”

Realizing his mistake, Pang Shishu’s facial muscles stiffened slightly, but his tone remained cold. “I trusted you once.”

“……”

“You said you had never killed anyone from Jiushan Sect, and I believed you.” Pang Shishu’s eyes remained fixed on Chen Ting. “So I let you leave. And now?”

Zheng Fa glanced at the treasured mirror in Chen Ting’s hands.

He wasn’t sure how powerful it was, but he was certain it wasn’t meant as a friendly greeting.

Chen Ting pressed his lips together, falling silent.

Zheng Fa couldn’t help but sigh inwardly—

Pang Shishu was the one among Jiushan Sect’s three Nascent Souls who cared the most about his disciples.

Chen Ting had once been highly valued by him.

Hiding on the side earlier, Pang Shishu was probably observing Chen Ting’s situation as well.

But…

“Master Pang, the world doesn’t always allow people to choose.” Chen Ting changed his form of address, now calling him “Zhenren Pang.” “Ever since I left Jiushan Sect, I no longer had the luxury of mercy.”

“……”

Pang Shishu said nothing, but the seal above his head glowed faintly in the void, as if it were his response.

“Zhenren Pang, are you going to make a move against me?” Chen Ting chuckled softly.

Pang Shishu remained silent.

“Zhenren, you should think carefully. Though you are a Nascent Soul cultivator, in this Thunder Pool, you aren’t much stronger than I am.” Chen Ting’s tone carried a veiled threat. “Moreover, you have to protect Junior Brother Zheng and the other Jiushan Sect disciples… hmm?”

He turned his head—only to realize that while he and Pang Shishu had been locked in their standoff, Zheng Fa had somehow already boarded the Du’e Boat and was furiously leading a group of Jiushan Sect disciples in a mad dash for the exit.

Sensing his gaze, Zheng Fa even turned around, cupped his hands in farewell, his face full of thoughtfulness—

As if he didn’t want to interrupt the master-disciple reunion.

“Zhenren Pang… this Zheng Fa…” Chen Ting recalled that both times he had seen Zheng Fa, the man had been running for his life. His expression grew complicated. “Can he really be the next Sect Master? Aren’t you afraid he’ll corrupt Jiushan Sect?”

Pang Shishu also looked at the disappearing Du’e Boat without a word.

Although they had planned this escape in advance, Zheng Fa’s efficiency still left him feeling vaguely embarrassed...

Seriously, you’re part of the Nine Nether Demonic Sect now. You’re completely on the other side.

Why the hell are you worried about Jiushan Sect?

And why does your concern feel so spot on?!

In the marketplace, upon seeing Pang Shishu return, Zheng Fa asked directly, “Shishu, what about Chen Ting?”

“He escaped.”

Zheng Fa froze for a moment.

This guy’s survival skills were really something.

In a situation like his, any ordinary person would have already been making arrangements for their next life.

“He possesses the strengths of three major factions; he’s not to be underestimated.” Pang Shishu explained, “Besides, I had to be cautious in the Thunder Pool.”

Zheng Fa thought for a moment. That made sense—

Pang Shishu was the type of master willing to teach his disciples.

Chen Ting had even had an old grandmaster-like figure guiding him in the past.

Later, after sacrificing that old master, he gained the favor of the Nine Nether Demonic Ancestor.

“Then why didn’t the Nine Nether Demonic Sect send anyone to help him?”

Zheng Fa couldn’t help but wonder.

Jiushan Sect was after Chen Ting primarily for information on Senior Sister Zhang’s whereabouts.

But the Grand Freedom Demonic Sect was after him for revenge.

Given how dire his circumstances were, wouldn’t he have reached out to Nine Nether Demonic Sect for help?

“If the demonic sects were about unity and mutual aid, they wouldn’t be called ‘demonic sects,’” Pang Shishu snorted. “If you encounter Chen Ting again, do not underestimate him.”

“Yes.”

Zheng Fa understood what Pang Shishu meant—

When Chen Ting had first left Jiushan Sect, he might have still held some attachment to it.

But now, that seemed unlikely.

“There are few in this world who can truly hold onto their principles,” Pang Shishu murmured, his tone carrying both regret and caution. “Especially my disciple… After defecting, he must have gone through a lot.”

Chen Ting’s matter had little to do with Zheng Fa. If it weren’t for the fact that he mentioned having news about Senior Sister Zhang, Zheng Fa wouldn’t have even gone looking for him.

The real priority now was still to find Senior Sister Zhang.

“It’s very troublesome.”

Martial Uncle Pang frowned.

“Yes, Senior Sister Zhang is now too close to the Demonic Sect’s secret realm.”

With the emergence of the spirit cavern this time, not only did it bring forth the Thunder Pool, but it also revealed a Demonic Sect secret realm.

And the Thunder Pool happened to be blocking the exit of that secret realm—precisely why even now, the Great Freedom Demonic Sect hadn’t managed to seal that exit.

Senior Sister Zhang had been surrounded and attacked by members of the Great Freedom Demonic Sect, forcing her to take refuge in the Thunder Pool.

Those from the Great Freedom Demonic Sect couldn’t take her down, but they had gradually cornered her toward the secret realm’s exit. Over there, it was easiest for them to mobilize their forces. If they managed to drive her into their secret realm, then she would be completely at their mercy.

Right now, for Jiushan Sect to find Senior Sister Zhang, they would first have to face a battle against the Great Freedom Demonic Sect.

“It’s not just that…” Martial Uncle Pang shook his head. “I also know about the self-sealing method used by Junior Niece Zhang. It’s a technique tied to that Huang woman’s magic treasure—the Xuanguan Mirror.”

“Xuanguan Mirror?”

Zheng Fa frowned.

“That Huang woman had a deep grudge in her early years, but back then, her cultivation was lacking, and she was unable to seek revenge. However, during her usual cultivation, she couldn't resist the urge to go out and settle the score—she simply couldn’t control herself…”

“So…”

“So she begged her master to refine this magic treasure for her, with only one purpose—to trap herself inside. Unless she reached the Nascent Soul stage, she wouldn’t be able to escape from it.”

As Martial Uncle Pang spoke, even his expression carried a hint of frustration.

“What about outsiders?”

“Outsiders? An outsider would need a Nascent Soul-level cultivation to break this treasure… but this is the Thunder Pool…”

That’s right.

Who would dare use Nascent Soul-level spells in the Thunder Pool?

Senior Sister Zhang must have considered this and used the Xuanguan Mirror to seal herself.

But…

“Junior Niece Zhang’s Golden Core is flawed…”

Martial Uncle Pang sighed, voicing the concern that Zheng Fa had in his heart.

“No matter what, at least we now have a target. Let’s find Senior Sister Zhang first.”

Modern day.

Today was the day Zheng Fa and Tang Lingwu registered at Jingcheng University.

Tang Lingwu had been picked up by her mother a few days earlier, and rumor had it that her father had also come to the capital to personally send her off to college.

Zheng Fa, on the other hand, didn’t ask Old Bai to drive him.

He took a taxi alone to the university entrance.

The place was bustling with students and parents.

Compared to his high school classmates, the new students at Jingcheng University felt both similar and different—

Similar in that they were all the same age. In this internet era, fashion and hairstyles were pretty much uniform across the country.

Different in a way that was hard to pin down—

Even though their outfits weren’t too distinct, these young people radiated an unmistakable confidence.

Another observation, though unconfirmed—many of them seemed to come from wealthy backgrounds.

After observing for a bit, Zheng Fa followed the crowd to the gymnasium, where registration was taking place. Afterward, there would be an opening ceremony.

At the entrance, multiple tents were set up with department names displayed on top. Behind long tables sat several older students—probably counselors or upperclassmen.

Zheng Fa took out his acceptance letter and found the tent for the Physics Department.

Inside were three guys and two girls.

When Zheng Fa approached, the three guys remained seated. But both girls stood up at the same time.

They exchanged glances.

One of them, a girl with glasses, seemed a bit shy—after hesitating for a moment, she slowly sat back down.

The other girl, however, greeted Zheng Fa.

She had delicate features, a slender waist, and a friendly smile.

Of course, with Zheng Fa’s keen eyes, he could tell that at least twenty percent of her beauty was thanks to expert makeup skills.

But judging by the hostile stares from the three senior guys behind her—

The remaining eighty percent was more than enough to stand out in the Physics Department.

Which was kind of tragic, if you thought about it.

“Junior, did you come alone?”

“Yeah.”

“Give me your acceptance letter.” She took a look. “Zheng Fa? Physics Department. Here, take these.”

She efficiently handed him several folders.

“This contains the freshman handbook, a campus map—the Second Cafeteria has the best food.”

“This one’s a letter for your parents. Not important.”

“This small bag is the most important—it has your student ID, dorm key, and room number. Don’t lose it.”

Zheng Fa pinched the small bag and nodded. “Thanks, Senior.”

“Here, add me on WeChat.”

“……”

Zheng Fa was momentarily stunned. He glanced at the senior, who looked completely serious.

“The department requires it,” she said. “If you have any questions, just ask me.”

After a brief pause, Zheng Fa took out his phone and scanned her QR code.

As he walked away, he faintly overheard her conversation with the next freshman.

“This is your stuff. Take it. Don’t lose it.”

After a moment—

“Do you need anything else?”

The new student, a guy, hesitated. “Didn’t you say we had to add you on WeChat?”

“I don’t recall hearing about that rule.”

“……But what if I have questions?”

“That’s why I gave you the freshman handbook.”

Zheng Fa took out his phone and checked her profile picture.

She looked pure and friendly in the photo.

Certainly didn’t seem like someone so… full of tricks.
