Elemental Light Mage

On the intricate streets, Cosette was holding a newspaper and looking for the location of the publishing company.

However, the content of the newspaper really made Cosette unhappy.

The slander against Desire Saint Yi Xi Ye Ming was clearly written in black and white.

The content speculates that the previous saints did not die by falling into a trap, but that Xi Yeming and the enemy collaborated from inside and outside in order to seize the power of the previous saints.

In Cosette's eyes, such content was simply slander and she could not tolerate such smearing of her teacher.

If it weren't for the fact that the Ten Saints were unable to spare time, Cosette would have definitely found someone to take charge and clear the teacher's name.

"found it."

Hard work pays off. Cosette finally arrived at the publishing house and she mustered up the courage to step inside.

"Hello, I'm here to see the editor and author responsible for publishing this newspaper."

When the waitress saw that the visitor was a female student, she opened her eyes and carefully scanned the contents of the newspaper.

She immediately looked at Cosette in surprise.

"Please wait."

The waitress put down her work and walked into the office area. She went to a man and whispered a few words in his ear.

The man's expression became noticeably strange after hearing the greeting. He stared at Cosette, and his eyes were not as friendly as one might imagine.

Finally the man left his seat and walked straight to Cosette's seat.

Cosette swallowed. She was actually very frightened, but she had never felt so insecure before.

"Excuse me, little sister, who are you?"

"I am the student of Xi Yeming, the Saint of Desire, and the princess of Yuyin Country in the magical world, Cosette Aria!"

Cosette's introduction of her identity had no deterrent effect on the man at all.

"Oh, is it so?"

The man's facial features remained calm, but his eyes radiated a threatening look.

The man asked, "You said you were here to see the editor of this article, that is, me. What can I do for you?"

Cosette summoned up the courage to rebuke: "I want to accuse you of slandering my teacher and the Ten Wills of the Holy Will at the junction of the world out of thin air."

"Hahaha!"

The man laughed disdainfully towards the sky.

"Little girl, I think you are just bored. How can you tell that it is a slander without any basis?"

"My teacher and I have a very close relationship. Don't I know him well?!"

"So you only have one side of your account of his character?"

"you!"

Only then did Cosette realize that she was too naive to think that the other party would give up so easily.

The man asked, "You just said that you are a student of Desire Saint Xi Yeming, do you have any proof?"

"I……"

Cosette really felt ashamed. As Xi Yeming's student, she even believed in the will of Su Caibai and others, but the man in front of her obviously didn't buy it.

"If it's just your empty words, then we have to talk about the issue of provoking trouble."

"Even so, are you not at all wrong in suspecting the Ten Wills of the Holy Will at the junction of the worlds?"

Cosette was still trying to attack the publishing company's mistakes. She didn't want to let others spread rumors about her teacher in such a shameful way.

"The Ten Saints at the Junction of Worlds?" The man smiled wickedly. "If I remember correctly, Xi Yeming left not long after becoming one of the Ten Saints. He came to the Junction of Worlds in the past few months to go to the magic world."

Now Cosette became the completely passive party. After all, according to what the man said, Xi Yeming did not seem like a "holy will at the junction of the worlds".

"The speculation that Xi Yeming betrayed the previous emperor has been circulating for about half a year. Now you, a student, suddenly jump out to correct him but you are just talking nonsense. I'm afraid Xi Yeming sent you here?"

"No, no!" Cosette shook her head violently from side to side.

"No? If not, why would you want to accuse this article? Are you just here to cause trouble? How dare a little student look down on our publishing company?!"

"me……"

Cosette was almost crying with anxiety. She came here to clear her teacher's grievances, but ended up being blamed because of her lack of preparation.

"Come here, see the guests off!"

The man shouted, and two magicians waved their wands and blew Cosette out of the publishing house.

Poor Cosette rolled on the road like a stone for several rounds before finally coming to a halt on the ground in a panic.

She got up with a flushed face and brushed the dust off her clothes. The grievance and dissatisfaction in her heart reached its peak.

"teacher……"

Now she just wanted to suffer and go back to find Leo or Su Caibai to teach the man a lesson for her and Xi Yeming.

"Ok?"

The sound of wheels rolling came from in front of Cosette, followed by a concerned question.

"Classmate, are you okay?"

Cosette looked up when she heard the voice and found that a young man in a wheelchair was looking at her.

The young man in the wheelchair was dressed gorgeously and elegantly, and seemed to be a member of the Twenty-Three Family.

Cosette sobbed a few times, fearing that the other party also thought Xi Yeming was an accomplice of the traitor, and reluctantly replied: "Nothing happened."

"You don't look like everything is alright."

The young man pressed the button on the armrest of the wheelchair to control the wheels and came to Cosette.

"Don't cry, brother, I'll take you to eat something delicious, okay?"

Cosette remained silent, as if unwilling to respond.

The young man didn't care. He continued to ask, "Why did you fall out of the publishing company?"

Cosette was in a state of inner conflict and couldn't help crying out in grievance: "It was because I wanted to redress the injustice done to my teacher, but in the end the people inside turned the tables on me and threw me out."

"Your teacher?" The young man was just confused. "Who is your teacher?"

Cosette sobbed, "My teacher is the Holy Will of Desire, Xi Yeming..."

When Xi Yeming's name came out of Cosette's mouth, the young man's body couldn't help but tremble.

"Who did you say your teacher is?!"

The young man's sudden reaction frightened Cosette. Only then did she begin to suspect that the other party might be from the deputy city lord's side?

Seeing Cosette standing there in a daze, the young man suddenly realized his own mistake.

"Sorry for being rude," the young man coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment, "First, could you please introduce yourself?"

Under the clear sky, the young man politely introduced his origins.

"I am the acting chief of the Peacock Clan - Shen Zhuchen."

Even though Shen Zhuchen revealed his name, Cosette still didn't know anything about him.

"Didn't Xi Yeming tell you about me?"

Cosette shook her head hastily, indicating that she did not know.

"Really? Why don't you come with me?"

"What are you doing?" Cosette was still very alert.

"I'll treat you to some ramen and some casual listening to my benefactor's story."

Shen Zhuchen

The acting patriarch of the Peacock Clan is Shen Ximu's elder brother. Some of his organs were destroyed in the war a year ago and he fell on the battlefield. Fortunately, Xi Yeming rescued him in time and saved his life. However, Dadi had to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair.

After the war, Shen Zhuchen wanted to thank Xi Yeming but couldn't find his benefactor. This became a regret in his heart.
