"Hehe, who told you to actually fight Gu Qingci to a draw?"
Ariel casually got up, and even pinched Jiang Kehan's cheek. Feeling the softness of her fingers, she nodded in satisfaction and continued speaking.
"Even defeating Gu Qingci at the Little Witch level is a remarkable achievement. She has no shortage of skills and combat experience!"
"I remember how badly Yang Xiling tortured me last time."
Jiang Kehan looked at Ai Lier, who was rubbing her face, with a resentful gaze. She slapped Ai Lier's thigh in dissatisfaction, and after hearing the "smack" sound, she also looked at Li Hui and nodded.
"Yes, that's right! Ariel is such a wimp!"
But jokes aside, Jiang Kehan understood the significance behind Li Hui's draw this time—Li Hui, still a little witch, had already matched the skills of a normal great witch, and even slightly surpassed her.
This is no ordinary genius; we must strike hard!
Absolute talent, undeniable talent, talent enough to move even the Great Witch...
Jiang Kehan couldn't help but puff out her cheeks. She was only considered a good candidate if she was certain she could become a great witch.
So, once Li Hui becomes the Great Witch, her potential will be limitless and her future will be bright.
However, Jiang Kehan was also confident that as long as her growth rate in magic could continue to suppress Li Hui, then the other party would be unable to do anything to her.
Moreover, she remembered that her core objective was to find a way to keep Li Hui before she became the Great Witch, so Li Hui's talent in combat alone was not enough to make her lose her footing.
"But can't you really teach us? We are your dearest relatives and friends, your brothers and sisters."
Jiang Kehan unleashed her epic skill: acting cute!
She spoke in a pitiful tone, blinking her slightly moist eyes as she looked at Li Hui, tilting her head with an innocent expression.
Hmph, what's mine is mine, my main goal is to get it for free!
Li Hui's lips twitched. She wondered where Jiang Kehan had learned this from, but she always felt that the other woman had recently become more adept at using the charm that she already possessed but had not yet been discovered.
"Alright, alright, if you want, I'll teach you, but I can't guarantee you'll be able to learn it." She shrugged, found a seat between the two of them, and said irritably.
"Li Hui is the best!" Jiang Kehan and Ai Li'er exchanged glances, both somewhat excited.
No witch would refuse to improve her strength; the difference lies in how much they are willing to pay for it.
The witch is stingy; she cherishes what she cares about more than anyone else.
For example, how Li Hui sees the two people, or rather, how the three of them see each other.
However, the sisters' playful bickering didn't last long before they heard a knock on the door.
Immediately, all three of them fell silent.
Ai Li'er and Jiang Kehan exchanged a glance, showing no surprise whatsoever. If Li Hui's performance wasn't enough to move certain people, then they would definitely start attacking their right brain with their left brain and begin thinking with their sharp minds.
Outside the door, Yang Xiling and Shan Lin, both gripping the doorknob, looked at each other with subtle yet threatening smiles.
"Isn't this Miss Yang Xiling, who has been pinned down by Gu Qingci all this time? Why aren't you improving your strength? Why are you here instead?"
Shan Lin spoke softly, like a gentle spring breeze, but her words made Yang Xiling's veins bulge, and she wanted nothing more than to punch her.
But fighting was out of the question; if they did, she would be the one who got beaten up. Yang Xiling gave a "kind" smile and acknowledged what the other person had said.
"Sigh, it's because Gu Qingci didn't have any ideas. So I, the Duel Witch, have to go find Li Hui, the Duel Genius."
"After all, the other party is aiming for a witch duel, so what is Miss Shanlin, as an official witch, here for? Is she here to catch up with Li Hui?"
Shan Lin forced a smile. Although she had known Li Hui for a long time, the two mainly exchanged ideas on magic models.
This was the first time she had ever realized that Li Hui was so skilled in actual combat.
It's clear how deeply Li Hui had hidden his true intentions.
"Since our official witches are the ones who fight the most, I'm itching to join the fray when I see such a promising talent as Li Hui."
It's a bit counterintuitive, although the official witch in the fictional village seems to be doing nothing, going about her routine work every day.
But in this ideal world, the official witches are all skilled in both literature and martial arts, and they regularly go to the battlefield to fight, possessing abundant martial virtue.
In fact, the battles they participated in far exceeded those of the Duel Witches.
Seeing that neither of them intended to give up, they simply let go of the doorknob and waited for the door to open.
As for the other clubs that wanted to recruit Li Hui, they all wisely left after seeing the two of them, including the members of the Vortex Society.
She can be considered a great witch, but that's a completely different level of prestige from the great witch herself.
After all, even the Great Witch came personally to snatch him away; she should know her own limitations.
The only thing that puzzled the two great witches was that Gu Qingci, who should have been there the most, was not present.
As Li Hui's opponent in the exhibition match, she was the one who could best appreciate Li Hui's talent.
Gu Qingci was eating in her private room, looking somewhat innocent.
As the captain of the Witch Organization team in the Witch Duel Tournament, her superior, Li Hui's friend, the robot lady Wu Yuhan, had already told her in advance that Li Hui would not accept any invitations.
Well, she didn't want to go see the monkey show.
As for why he didn't tell Shan Lin and Yang Xiling, Gu Qingci said—who are those two?
Her emotional intelligence has always been so low.
"Please come in." Jiang Kehan looked up at Li Hui, who seemed to be looking at the ceiling as if there were rare treasures on it, and helplessly spoke on her behalf.
Upon hearing this, Shan Lin and Yang Xiling exchanged glances, both suppressing their subtle rivalry, and pushed open the door with somewhat serious expressions.
Regarding this invitation, which could significantly impact Li Hui's future, both of them will remain absolutely objective. No one can make a decision for a witch, not even the Great Witch.
They even have to help the other party analyze the advantages of their conditions.
Chapter 164 Accidents
After the two entered, Li Hui immediately put on an impeccable smile and shifted his gaze from the ceiling to their faces.
"Hmm, Shanlin, did you come to ask me to have a drink? Too bad I have to give a speech and draw lots right away. We'll drink slowly when I get back."
Li Hui took the initiative and, after dealing with Shan Lin, turned her gaze to Yang Xiling beside her and said with a slight smile.
"As for Miss Yang Xiling, she came to ask about Gu Qingci's changes in strength, but unfortunately I am just a little witch and don't have much experience with it. She still let me go."
"However, Gu Qingci's skills have indeed improved. Miss Yang Xiling should be careful when she encounters her in the next duel."
As Li Hui finished speaking, her face darkened, and she spoke through gritted teeth.
"Yes, mainly because Gu Qingci's heart has darkened considerably after entering the Great Witch."
She will remember Gu Qingci's lack of martial ethics for the rest of her life. He kept saying he would teach her, but all he taught her was that there was no bottom line in dueling. He was simply inhuman!
Yang Xiling and Shan Lin looked at Li Hui, who had finished speaking, with slightly confused expressions. They exchanged glances, as if to say something.
"Did you/I come here to ask her about this?"
Li Hui, a genius in practice—a genius at feigning ignorance!
Jiang Kehan's eyes were also somewhat confused. She glanced at the group of people and couldn't help but clap her hands.
A few words were enough to captivate two women, and she could study them for a lifetime.
Jiang Kehan's applause brought Shan Lin and Yang Xiling back to their senses. They both looked at Li Hui with dark lines on their brows, speechless.
"Ahem, I didn't come to see you for these things. Also, Gu Qingci is definitely not human."
Yang Xiling touched the spiral horn on her head and nodded in satisfaction. As long as she spoke ill of Gu Qingci, no, weren't these all the truth?
Yes, any witch who dares to ignore Gu Qingci's oppression and speak the truth is a witch she has her eye on!
"I would like to invite you to join my dueling team, not the reserve team, but the team I am currently in."
Yang Xiling smiled arrogantly. As a demon girl transformed from the Crimson Evil Sheep Clan, her madness was innate, and she only had eyes for her opponents.
"You will be a temporary member of our team, and you will begin learning with us. We will personally train you at all costs!"
Her eyes were somewhat narrow and long, and the pupils inside resembled the patterns on the belly of a mosquito coil frog, exuding an evil aura.
But her words moved Jiang Kehan, and for a moment she even wanted to persuade Li Hui to agree.
What is most scarce for Duel Witches is not resources or spells, but instruction and practical experience!
Yang Xiling almost gave up her desire for victory in the next few years, intending to bet her future on Li Hui, gambling on the future!
The requirements for temporary team members in the Witch Duel Tournament are minimal, and they mainly focus on limiting the upper limit of their strength.
For example, if you find a great person to be your temporary team member in a Little Witch competition-level selection tournament, isn't that pure nonsense?
Conversely, even if you want to choose a little witch as a temporary team member in the witch competition, that's entirely possible.
Moreover, since the temporary teammates only affect 1 point regardless of whether they win or lose, it gives many teams the opportunity to cultivate new players.
Or rather, this mechanism itself encourages witch duel teams to cultivate new talent, rather than despicably inviting powerful witches to turn the tide of the competition.
Shan Lin, standing to the side, remained silent. As Li Hui's old friend, how could she not know that Li Hui had already politely declined the two of them?
In fact, Yang Xiling was also aware of this, but the two great witches had completely different personalities, and she was confident that the conditions she offered would be enough to make Li Hui waver.
Jiang Kehan secretly tugged at Li Hui's sleeve, somewhat reluctantly, but reluctantly used her magic to speak to Li Hui.
"Why don't you just agree?"
Li Hui glanced at the somewhat timid Jiang Kehan with annoyance, and also used magic to transmit her voice directly to the other's ears.
"You really want me to leave?"
"No way!" Jiang Kehan glared at Li Hui, who didn't appreciate her kindness. Clearly, she was the one who was most unwilling.
She neither wanted Li Hui to grow too fast in strength under Yang Xiling's team's training, nor did she want the other party to leave her.
After all, going to compete with Yang Xiling almost meant that Li Hui wouldn't have much time to play around with them.
However, Jiang Kehan couldn't bring herself to ignore Li Hui's potentially brighter future, and even deliberately sabotaged it.
Li Hui rolled her eyes at Jiang Kehan, as if looking at a child who had never grown up, and secretly spoke to her with a slight smile.
"Fool, a future with you is the future I want."
The short sentence startled Jiang Kehan, who was already in a state of confusion. It felt as if something had pierced through her heart, leaving only the light shining through the broken wall.
Without giving her time to continue persuading herself, Li Hui looked at Yang Xiling, who seemed slightly expectant, and gave her an apologetic smile.
"I'm sorry, I haven't really decided to become a Duel Witch. I only joined the school team for them."
Li Hui put his arms around Jiang Kehan and Ai Lier's shoulders on either side of him, his tone without the slightest hesitation.
