Chapter 214: Peace Before A Crisis 5

Tong Lei's in trouble

Shin Jiao is looking at something that he hadn't expected and could not even explain. Mages in the other continent are truly mysterious according to Gubu. Even Phoenix (Meng Shiaoning) who had her memories uncover didn't know a lot about mage's true ability and power. This might be because she was still young when she was transported from the other continent to the cultivation land.

So Shin Jiao's research on mages and magic is not that complete. But with his own hands, he was able to make some original spells for the mages in the underground base, to train and use.

Yet, right now in front of him he is looking at two small kids slowly showing their mother something that they have discovered for the first time. The looks on their faces are a mix of excitement, awe, with a tinge of fear, which made them look cute and adorable.

"Mom! Look I have green lights on my palm!" the little girl Haoyin said while she happily showed her palms to Jie Ye.

"Look, mom, I can make water float! Look! Look!" the little boy Bao exclaimed happily as he made a thumb-sized wobbling water ball floats in his palms.

This scene made, Jie Ye, a little dumbfounded and unable to answer her two children. Her eyes are full of hope and love to the two as she looks at them with her motherly gaze.

Right now, her heart is blooming with happiness upon learning that her two children are also mages like herself. At first, she decided to make herself strong so that he can be of use to Shin Jiao in the future to pay for his kindness to her and her two kids. But now, her other goal is to be strong so that she can protect her powerless children when they grew up.

When she advances her power and as it grew stronger, she can already tell that her lifespan has already exceeded that of a mere mortal. And now she knows that her kids would grow old faster than her, and they would leave this world earlier than her. So she wanted to be strong to make their lives better. But now, things are different. Her kids are also mages, which means that they too can be like her and live a long life.

"Wow, you two have some awesome magic powers." Suddenly the voice of Shin Jiao was heard from the inner hall of the house.

Since the five of them live in the same house, Shin Jiao would always see the two kids and Jie Ye along with Jiyi when he was staying at home before. So it was not uncommon for him to see these two kids already up this time of the day.

"Master! This…" Jie Ye suddenly stood up and bowed to greet Shin Jiao.

"Haha… Sister Jie, you are really blessed with such wonderful kids. I truly admire you… Come let older brother looks at your powers." Shin Jiao said as he walks closer to the two excited children who also ran towards him with their hands raised while glowing with a green and blue hue.

"Big brother! My hands are green… hihi…" little Haoyin said giggling while showing Shin Jiao her two palms.

Meanwhile, the little boy, Bao Fu shyly showed his hands while trying to make the wiggling water ball stay afloat on top of his palms.

When Shin Jiao asked them how they discovered their powers, the two kids happily explained.

The two kids discovered their ability last week while they were playing. But since they are not aware of it, they think that they are just dreaming. But then they noticed that the ability keeps on appearing making the two felt excited. But they decided to keep it from their mother to surprise her.

So while their mother is working outside, the two kids began to practice their powers on their own, and soon were able to use it freely.

After their explanation, Jie Ye felt a little angry and scolded them a little because she was too worried about the mishaps that could have happened at that time. Yet, Shin Jiao appeased her and told the kids to not do it again, which they promised to obey.

"All right, let's see how far the two of you have gotten in controlling your powers." Shin Jiao said as he took the two kids along with Jie Ye in the underground training area.

When the four arrive in the area, Shin Jiao saw Jiyi already practicing swordsmanship that he taught her, and from her forms, he can deduce that she has already reached great improvements.

The two kids haven't been in this place, so when they saw Jiyi doing the sword dance, the two became amazed and began clapping their little hands in excitement after Jiyi finished her routines.

This also attracted her and made a smile when she saw the four coming her way.

"Good morning! Master, Sister Jie Ye… What are you doing here with the kids?" Jiyi asked in confusion.

"Good morning!... Well, we are here to see these two little children their abilities." Shin Jiao said with a smile.

"What!? You mean these two kids have also developed their powers?" Jiyi shouted in disbelief.

"How… how could this be master? This is not like a normal occurrence right?" Jiyi added.

"Hmm… you're right. I guess that being in an environment rich in natural energy and Qi made their innate ability show up early. Or was it triggered by something else?... hmm…" Shin Jiao muttered as his thought began to drift.

"Master! Hey…" Jiyi saw Shin Jiao's expression and reacted immediately.

She already knows that when Shin Jiao's mind began to drift and think. It would be hard for them to get his attention. So she decided to break his line of thought and go back to their main purpose.

"Let's see their powers!" Jiyi excitedly said as she walks towards little Haoyin and little Bao.

"Can you let elder sister see your powers?" Jiyi asked with her gentle smile.

Little Bao's face suddenly blushed upon seeing her beautiful smile and immediately averted his gaze.

When Shin Jiao and the others saw this, they almost laugh.

The little guy seems to have a crush on Jiyi.

"Aw… that's cute." Jiyi muttered as her gaze turns towards Shin Jiao.

But upon seeing her master's nonchalant smile, she felt a little disappointed. She wanted deep in her heart that her master would react the same way as the little guy and she thought that it would be cute.

Upon thinking of this idea, her cheek suddenly turned red.

"Okay, let's see what the two of you can do." Shin Jiao said as he began to instruct them on how they can efficiently control their powers for the first time.

Though he can let Jie Ye do this as the two are her children, but he wanted to do it first. This is because he has truly learned to love the two kids and as their senior brother, he wanted to teach them many things.

…

Meanwhile, in the academy.

Tong Lei didn't go home and just decided to stay in the academy and continue to research the technology. He has already learned a lot of principles and knowledge from Shin Jiao and already understood the meaning of most of the arrays. Now he is trying to consolidate that knowledge by applying it in the phone technology.

He is trying to craft his own personal phone so that he can use it when the relay stations and main servers are up.

As he was doing so, his concentration is in the furnace in front of him. He has already written all the arrays and even those microarrays are already done. What he needed to do now is to construct the outer layer of the artifact.

When he first saw the rectangular object on Shin Jiao's hand at that time, he felt really excited. But now, he wanted to shape his own phone. He decided it to be like the eyeglasses that Shin Jiao has shown him.

With that in mind as a goal, Tong Lei began shaping the outer case while protecting the arrays inside with his Qi.

While his concentration is full in crafting, he didn't notice a shadow stealthily observing behind him. He was not aware that this shadow has been spying on him while he was doing his work. At first, the purpose of this person was to hurt him and prevent him from creating the artifact. But once it saw his design and the plans, it decided to wait and see.

After a long time, Tong Lei showed a satisfied expression on his face signifying that the artifact was already finished. But he still didn't put it out of the furnace as he is going to put the final touches in the artifact, and this is his signature.

But before he can do so, he suddenly felt a killing intent behind him. Even though Tong Lei looks weak but in truth, he is a strong cultivator. So when he felt that killing intent he immediately raised his Qi field and protected his head by raising his arm.

But still, the shadow was able to break his weak Qi field and a splatter of blood flew everywhere. Luckily for him, his arms are thick and the weapon of the other person was not able to chop off his arms. But still, Tong Lei grimaces in pain as his white bones were exposed through the cut on his arm.

This made him felt weak and wanted to faint.

Due to fatigue and lack of rest from doing too much research, Tong Lei is now suffering from being too weak. So he decided to send out a distress signal before fainting.. As everything went black he didn't know whether he is alive or already dead.
