OPEN YOUR MASK, PRINCESS!
Episode 278 THE NEWLY SHOT SECRET MAGIC
Ever since that night, where Grace and Xiao Jun had been in serious conversation, their lives seemed to be going normally. Grace proved her determination, starting from that day she almost acted like a stranger to Xiao Jun. Even when they passed each other in the corridor of the apartment, Grace chose to bow down and not to bully Xiao Jun. They act like people who don't know each other.
“Master, I think Miss Li's attitude is beyond our predictions. I was afraid of the power behind him, he
planning something to trap you.” Lau is most riled up about Grace's attitude, especially since she insists on Fang Fang working professionally, the bodyguard often reports Grace's behavior without anything being covered up.
Xiao Jun was enjoying his Sunday quietly in the apartment, he had not even planned on dating even though Weini had some loose time. His forehead frowned at Lau who was standing unsettled, “Uncle, what are you worried about him? Why do you assume she'll act like that?”
Xiao Jun did not hesitate on Lau, he also had considerations and concerns for Grace. The influence of Li's girl was indeed great, plus her brother who liked to intervene even dared to tease Weini when he was not here. Amongst the many plausible reasons to suspect Grace, Xiao Jun's little heart still hinted that the girl would not go too far let alone endanger her.
Lau lowered his head, hiding his stiff look. “It .. Fang Fang said that Miss Grace was in frequent contact with her brother, Mr. Chen Kho. He also said, have heard their conversation about Miss Weini.”
The body of Xiao Jun who was originally leaning leisurely on the sofa while reading a book, finally sat up straight after hearing that. He closed the book in his hand and placed it on a pile of both knees. The look on his face seriously looked at Lau, investigating the truth of what his bodyguard had just revealed.
“How dare they make Weini the talk! The cunning brain could not possibly be compassionate, what he did to Weini at that time alone was quite bad. Is it possible that Grace's sweet demeanor lately is also one of her strategies?” Xiao Jun assumed for himself, he propped up his chin while thinking about what Chen Kho might be planning.
“Sorry sir, for some time knowing Miss Grace, I felt she was not someone who could love someone, unless someone instigated her.” Lau carefully delivered those final words, with his head slightly lowered he peeked at Xiao Jun's reaction with his tail.
Xiao Jun glanced at Lau, “Just relax, uncle. What uncle said made sense, I also felt that something that looked calm was suspicious. Grace is so aggressive and not good at managing emotions, seeing her now feels strange. Ask Fang Fang to watch over Grace more, especially how intensely she communicates with her brother.”
The problem of love is never simple. It is said to be small, but cannot be underestimated. It is said that even bigger, it would be better to be resolved by assuming the conflict is only a small thing that needs to be eliminated. But not all have the greatness of heart to sacrifice feelings, defeat their respective egos to defend each other. Xiao Jun and Weini had also experienced all of that, before they were finally strengthened by problems that had not ended up solving.
A message came in from Weini ringing up Xiao Jun's phone, nimblely the man playing his fingers on
over the touch screen of his phone to reply to that message. His smile was flattering, although Weini would not know that he was smiling while replying to his message. They exchanged messages quickly, Weini reported that he was only at home all day and had no plans to get out. While Xiao Jun wanted to rest and had not intended to stop by his girl's house. He wants to put aside a moment of romance and give a little space for himself to stay focused on the main mission.
Xiao Jun placed the phone onto the table, the ancestral magic book he had not touched for a long time was
his mission today. The incident that recalled the time in his old house, the voice of his ancestor giving him something but still stored in that other dimension, Xiao Jun needed to study up to that level. His hands with
carefully turn page after page of that weathered paper. So obsolete, a lot of faded writing and letters that are difficult to recognize.
the Wei clan, who possessed the highest level of eastern magic ability, was unfortunate that the science simply vanished with the only person who mastered it. “In this world, only father left who inherited the Wei clan's magic. This magic prowess must have helped me survive, but why was he still hiding? Want to see when things go flat like this?”
Xiao Jun sighed, that question had not been answered in the past. He simply asked without anyone giving him a trace of hope about it. A pair of sharp eyes enlarged when he found the writing on the page he just opened, the writing with Mandarin script contained spells about magic storing and removing items from other dimensions. Xiao Jun frowned when he found a way to practice that he could not understand even though it was written in the book.
Not stopping there, he turned the next page of the thick using book. Every science
inside it managed to make him gape in amazement. He enthusiastically opened up to the end of the page that may remain three sheets. Of the many sciences, not even half that Xiao Jun managed to master, the number could even still be counted on the finger. “It takes a lifetime to learn without a teacher, unless dad returns.”
The memory of Wei Ming Fung was immediately brushed aside by Xiao Jun, he diverted it by turning the next page. Remaining the last two pages that might be the last witchcraft of their school. Xiao Jun's forehead shriveled as he read the writing, the writing on the last page that he thought was a magic skill actually contained very important information and sounded unreasonable. Even though he knew that everything
the smell of magic was already unrealistic but the writing was more unable to digest the reason.
Snakes shed their skin, humans change their appearance. Magic of immortality, lived a century.
The figurative word made Xiao Jun even more stunned, his hair was goosebumps imagining that his ancestors had this kind of knowledge. Xiao Jun hastily flipped over the last page of the book, hoping to get more explanation about the magic. His eyes grew bigger, reading carefully what was on the old paper. And he was forced to be content with the hanging ending, only two stanzas in the written way
and the rest faded.
Xiao Jun sat weakly drooping on the floor, his body he leaned against the side of the bed. It takes time for
thinking of all this, was the accusation true? The man adjusted his breath, then glanced at the etching characters about the form-changing magic.
“Does this have anything to do with the loss of the father along with little girl Li? Father ... Have you changed
face?” Xiao Jun shook his head slowly, half of his spirit lost to the shock he was unable to control.
