"What happened to you?" Xue Ying asked turning to where Ju Xian was, their position was so close that even though the man's voice was small, it was still able to reach Ju Xian's ears.
"Just a small problem. Don't worry about it," Ju Xian replied.
Xue Ying who heard it didn't reply anymore.
"Where's Huang Bao?" asked Wan Lie who was just sitting between the four of them.
"Following Master Liu," Ju Xian replied curtly.
"Master Liu?" one of the Lord's son's eyebrows raised.
"One from the Fairy Race," Ju Xian explained.
"Noisy, my wife is sleeping," said Gu Yi suddenly and managed to silence them.
And after that, there was only silence in the room. Ju Xian chose to explore the bookshelf on the side of the room. Xue Ying and Wan Lie were still in their positions, busy in their thoughts.
To be in that situation for several tens of minutes.
Two figures suddenly entered the room. They were Huang Bao and another figure that had transparent wings on its back.
Those who saw it could immediately tell that the figure who was with Huang Bao was a Fairy.

Fu Xie Lan felt someone's presence in the room making her blink. The girl realized that she had fallen asleep.
Raised her head and scanned the room, there were already many people. And they were all staring at her.
"Did something happen while I was sleeping?" asked Fu Xie Lan when she saw their gazes on her.
"No dear, everyone is just waiting for you to wake up," Gu Yi said in a voice that was neither big nor small.
Just glancing at the source of the voice, then turning her gaze to where Elder Bao was and the someone who looked foreign to her eyes.
"Master Liu, introduce her to be Fu Xie Lan, my student that I told you about during the trip," said Huang Bao, starting to introduce the girl.
Hearing that, Fu Xie Lan normalized her posture.
"Introduce me Fu Xie Lan, Master...."
"Just call me Master Liu, I've heard quite a bit about you from Elder Bao."
"It is a great fortune for you to be a disciple of an Elder who is renowned for being strong in the wizarding race," said Teacher Liu with a friendly smile.
His eyes occasionally scanned the silver masked man sitting next to Fu Xie Lan. Huang Bao had already told him about the existence of the Lord among them and asked him to just act normal as if the tyrannical figure was not among them, besides, Huang Bao had also asked him not to do anything unnecessary if he wanted to live.
That meant, as long as he was with Fu Xie Lan, Master Liu had to maintain his attitude. No matter how strong his strength was, he must not do things that could provoke Lord Gu's anger.
"Thank you, Master Liu," Fu Xie Lan replied.
"I heard that you are interested in the fairy race?"
"Elder Huang Bao said that you have the strength of a Fairy yet have never set foot in the territory of the race itself?"
"Hmm, I never expected that such a thing would happen in this world," said the middle-aged man. Master Liu had never thought before that there would be someone with the power of a fairy but the figure himself had never seen the territory that was where it originated.
"May I know the names of your parents, kid? Who knows this middle-aged man can find out," he asked again.
"I don't remember, Master Liu," Fu Xie Lan replied quickly.
"Alright, even though you're a fairy half-human but your parents shouldn't have left you outside the Fairy race's territory," the middle-aged man said with a sigh.
Meanwhile, Fu Xie Lan, who heard the man's words, was silent for a moment, it seemed that Elder Huang Bao had already made up her reason for visiting the fairy territory. If so, then she must thank the figure of the old man who became her teacher.
And hearing from all of Master Liu's words, it seemed that Elder Huang Bao had not told him that she could use magic, and also that she had a special purpose of visiting Fairy territory.
If it was like this, Fu Xie Lan only needed to follow the path that had been provided by her Master 'Huang Bao'.
Seeing that, Fu Xie Lan was silent and didn't respond.
Although the middle-aged man could neither sense the mana nor the scent of a Fairy Half-human from Fu Xie Lan's body, he could be certain that what Huang Bao had told him could not be just a lie.
It could be that Elder Bao gave her scent pills to disguise the human scent on her body. Yes, that was the only very true possibility, and Master Liu believed it.
To be honest, Teacher Liu is very curious as, why Elder Bao raised a weak student like Fu Xie Lan when there are still many students in Phoenix Academy who have great potential to become his disciple and are certainly stronger than someone who is only a fairy half-human. Although the question bothered him, Master Liu never intended or even had the guts to question the decision of one of that Phoenix academy Elders.
"You don't remember anything about your parents, kid?" Teacher Liu asked again wanting to make sure.
Fu Xie Lan who heard the question just nodded in approval. It was not her intention to deceive Master Liu, but this was the only way she could enter the territory, she didn't even understand why the power was in her body, considering that her parents in this world are just ordinary humans without any power.
Let's call it Fu Xie Lan's luck.
"You want to come with me back to Fairy territory?" Master Liu asked after feeling sure.
"May I? But, I'm just a Fairy half-human, Master Liu," replied Fu Xie Lan.
"I'm afraid, my presence will only add to your burden," she added.
"Master Liu knows how is the life energy (mana) of a half-human, I'm afraid I will..."
"Don't think about it. Half-human or not, you're still a Fairy, kid. And you should be in Fairy territory," Master Liu replied, along with his words, the figure of the middle-aged man was prepared for all the risks he would face later when he brought a fairy half-human with him, considering his position in the Zaphyre academy.
He decided that only because he felt a little sorry for Fu Xie Lan.
"But Master Liu, with my strength if someone intends to harm me, I'm afraid it will cause you trouble," said Fu Xie Lan with a sigh.
Ju Xian who heard Fu Xie Lan's words just stared unbelievably. What did she say? Someone who intended to hurt her? Ju Xian was worried, even before that person had any ill will towards her, the person was already beheaded.
Weak? Fairy half-human? In all his life, Ju Xian had never seen a fairy half-human slay a wizard who possessed second-tier mana.
