The ring on her finger flashed, and an exquisite box appeared in her hand. She took out two golden leaves and said, “This is the reward we give you.”

Su Han looked at the golden leaves in the box and immediately widened his eyes. Those were all pure gold. A person who could use such things must have a very noble identity, at least a noble.

Two golden leaves were enough to buy this village.

“How can I accept this!” Su Han laughed.

When he was about to take it, the woman suddenly leaned over.

The distance between Su Han and her face was less than two centimeters. The smell of spices from her body immediately filled Su Han’s nostrils. Su Han opened his eyes wide.

There seemed to be magic in her eyes. It made his heart beat faster, and he couldn’t look away.

‘She was teasing him!’ Su Han thought.

“If you don’t want to give these two golden leaves to others, just keep them quietly.”

She leaned close to Su Han’s ear, and her voice was like a bug in Su Han’s ears, making his heart itch.

After Su Han left, Vivian sat upright on the chair, and her face returned to a cold expression. The old village chief frowned and asked, “Vivian, what do you mean?”

Vivian said lightly, “Nothing. Before you left the Imperial Capital, you said that you would not accept any more disciples. I’ll take that as a lie. Since he’s my junior, I naturally have to give him some greeting gifts.”

The village chief said in a deep voice, “I just led him into the right path. I’m not a teacher nor is he my student.”

Vivian said lightly, “I know the nature of Teacher. Since you allowed him to call you teacher, you must have regarded him as your own student in your heart.”

The corner of the village chief’s mouth twitched. “So what?”

“I just want to help you test the temperament of this young man. Since he has become your student, he is also my junior. If my junior is a person who can’t resist temptation, I’d better help you kill him in advance.”

The corner of the village chief’s mouth twitched. “But you can’t use Charm on that child!”

“He passed, didn’t he?” Vivian said lightly.

The village chief said, “You beast, he is still a child!”

Vivian ignored him. She said expressionlessly, “Living in such a terrible place, his family must be poor. The two golden leaves I gave him can immediately help them out of their current predicament. If he takes them away and doesn’t share them with others, I will kill him on your behalf. It will save me another bastard junior in the future!”

The village chief was about to say something when he saw Su Han return not long after he left.

Su Han held the two golden leaves and frowned as soon as he entered.

“Sister, these golden leaves are too hard. Even the pincers can’t break them. It’s not easy to divide them among dozens of us! Why don’t you give us silver coins?”

Vivian was a little surprised and said, “I told you to keep them yourself!”

Su Han shook his head. “Then don’t you want me to die? In a small town within a hundred miles, no one had ever seen a golden leaf. If I spend it today, they’ll rob my house tomorrow. I don’t want to bring trouble on myself. Besides, dozens of families in our village rely on hunting for a living. If I take it for myself, the people in the village will suffer!”

He threw the two golden leaves on the table, sat on the chair, and picked up the teacup to drink.

Vivian looked at him strangely and turned to see the village chief’s mocking eyes. She touched it for a while, took out a bag of silver coins from her ring, and said, “Give these silver coins to others. Keep the two golden leaves for yourself.”

Su Han was shocked. “Do you really want to harm me?”

The old village chief patted his shoulder and said with a smile, “If she asks you to take it, then take it. What are you waiting for? This is what she should give you. You should be her junior!”

Su Han looked at the village chief forcing the gold leaves into his pocket. He was helpless. He turned to Vivian and said, “Alright, I’ll take it! But I don’t like to owe others. If you need my help, just ask.”

After saying that, Su Han strode away.

Vivian looked at his back silently and said nothing.

The old village chief mocked, “How about it?”

Vivian said lightly, “Since he’s my junior, I’ll protect him if he goes to the Empire in the future.”

“He is really lucky to be chosen by the Chief Mage of the Royal Family.”

The old village chief shook his head and felt a little thirsty. He picked up the teacup and took a sip. He looked a little dejected and said, “It’s a pity! This child has no way to walk on the path of magic.”

Vivian did not understand what her teacher meant.

...

In the next few days, Su Han had been meditating at home while learning the structure of the wheel of laws.

The villagers had gotten the silver coins and had hired people to go to the nearby town to buy food. With so much money, they had enough to survive this month.

In the past few days, people came to the village one after another. Every morning, Su Han could see a group of people in neat equipment set off. They crossed the news outside the village and disappeared into the mountains.

They were obviously looking for something. In the past few days, there had been several groups of people entering the mountains.

“Now I have mastered the structure of ice and fire spells.”

Su Han stroked his chin and thought: ‘Then, if I disrupt the law wheels of these two spells, can I reconstruct a new spell?’
