CHAPTER 94 - AN OLD FRIEND
Translated by Luxican

After successfully scaring away Cang Song using Feng Kuo's name, Mei Li was relieved.
She was just about to reprimand Yun Sheng for concealing her strength, when Yun Sheng felt an intense dizziness and was unable to stand any longer.
"Qi Gubian, you take Gu Feng to the medical room for treatment. I'll take this little girl for rest first. She exhausted all her magic power, there shouldn't be any left." Mei Li thought to herself, 'In that fight just now, this unknown freshman actually used three attacks in succession.'
A Fireball, several Earth Spikes and that last stunning Fire Blast.
Her chanting, under the effects of the wind elf's blessing was coherent and consistent and that desperate fighting style was comparable to that of the Fighting Department's students, ah!
Looks like there was a possibility that they would be able to turn the tables in the competition between the departments.
Mei Li rejoiced as she brought Yun Sheng to her potion laboratory to rest.
After Yun Sheng consumed a bottle of meditation water, she felt the magical elements in her body recovering little by little.
"Little girl, tell me honestly, how many attributes does your Magic Soul have? I can conclude that you at least have a three-elemental Magic Soul." Mei Li was shocked after she saw Yun Sheng's magic scepter, which had the wind elf's blessing on it. And she had already suspected that Yun Sheng might be more than just a mere dual-elemental magician.
Her thoughts got stronger after she had witnessed the last Fire Blast.
Mei Li had already checked Yun Sheng's magic power and it was indeed the amount of a normal Magician.
A Magician could push his limits to use intermediate spells. This could only mean that she had a powerful Magic Soul to rely on.
The more powerful a Magic Soul was, the greater the possibility of learning higher level spells.
Yun Sheng still didn't answer. She has been in contact with Mei Li only for a little while and wasn't sure if Mei Li was trustworthy.
"Have you heard of the Magic Sage Yun Canghai?" Mei Li had a fiery temper, while Yun Sheng had a calm character. Yun Sheng's silence made Mei Li more anxious. So, she suddenly changed the subject and asked about the Magic Sage Yun Canghai.
When she heard her father's name, Yun Sheng's face changed slightly.
"You know Yun Canghai? Ten years ago, the Magic Sage Yun Canghai left his family in Yujing City with a woman of unknown origin. After this, there was no further news of Yun Canghai. Are you...are you the daughter of Yun Canghai?" Mei Li grabbed Yun Sheng and looked at her while being excited and nervous at the same time.
The more she looked at Yun Sheng, the more she felt that she was similar to Yun Canghai.
That determined look in her eyes, as well as the swift and concrete movements while using the Fire Blast, they were all quite similar.
"He is my father, do you know him?" Yun Sheng was also infected by Mei Li's excitement, at this moment she felt as if Mei Li was a different person.
Her expression softened, as if she recalled something and a smile hung on her lips.
"As expected...Only Brother Yun's daughter can comprehend intermediate magic while only being a Magician." Mei Li hugged Yun Sheng with tears of joy in her eyes.
After the sudden burst of excitement, Mei Li calmed herself and told Yun Sheng that she was Yun Canghai's younger sister. They had studied at the Royal Magic Academy together.
She was also in the same team as Yun Canghai. At that time the Royal Magic Academy had just been established and there had been no so-called Potion Department or Fighting Department.
"Your father was a genius magician, he helped me a lot, he was also the one to discover the potion talent in me and suggested that I should focus on studying this." Mei Li's face showed a slight blush of shame that only young girls would have when recalling the past.
It seems that her drunkard father was a very sought-after figure in the Magic Academy back then.
Yun Sheng knew very little of her parent's past. Thanks to Mei Li's narration she learned about Yun Canghai's school days.
Yun Canghai was born in the renowned General's Estate. Even though he was the oldest son of the Yun Family, he had never been interested in martial arts.
When he was ten-years-old, he secretly enrolled in the Royal Magic Academy without telling the old General Yu Bahe.
At that time magicians weren't as valued as they are now. Yun Canghai's disregard for martial arts, while studying in magic, was a matter of concern among the powerful circles in Yujing City. There were a lot of rumors circulating for a while.
Upon hearing the news, Yun Bahe was so angry that he came to the Royal Magic Academy with his sword, saying that he wanted to behead this unfilial son.
In the end, only when the principal of the Magic Academy at that time personally appeared and revealed Yun Canghai's outstanding magic talent to the public, had he been pacified. But since then, the relationship between the Yun Family's father and son has been on very bad terms.
The Yun Family's second son was also strictly trained to learn martial arts as a result. As a replacement for his older brother on the path of warrior, but all of this was in the past.
After Yun Canghai entered the Magic Academy, his talent became more and more evident. Especially after participating in several student exchanges with the Magic Temple, his cultivation improved rapidly.
He also met some strange people who were good at innovating the old principles of magic.
It was unheard of for a multi-elemental magician to be able to use a non-attribute magic scepter. And elves normally only blessed magicians of the same attribute. These secrets of magic were all discovered by Yun Canghai at that time.
This was the reason just by seeing Yun Sheng magic scepter, Mei Li was able to guess that Yun Sheng was by no means a simple dual-elemental magician.
"Mentor Mei Li, what about my mother? Did she also attend the royal Magic Academy?" Compared to Yun Canghai, Yun Sheng had even less memories of her mother, Hu Jiusheng.
What she did know were only the things left behind in the Beast Language Ring.
"Regarding your mother, I only know that she's mysterious. I don't have any information as to which family she is from. The two of them met after your father left the Magic Academy. She's most likely a descendant of some ancient family." Mei Li lamented, while also examining Yun Sheng's face.
Yun Canghai's face was handsome, with clear-cut lines. Yun Sheng's nose and eyebrows were similar to Yun Canghai, but softer.
But it seems her eyes and delicate appearance, as well as the way she smiled, were undoubtedly inherited from that mysterious mother of hers.
Yun Sheng might not have stunning looks, but she was undoubtedly the kind that looked more beautiful the more you looked at her.
Moreover, she was still young. When she grew up in the future, she would be a dazzling woman who wouldn't be inferior to her mother in the least.
Yun Canghai stayed at the Royal Magic Academy until he became a Great Magister. At that time, there had been no mentor available to teach him more advanced magic.
In order to pursue a higher realm of magic, Yun Canghai left the Magic Academy and went to other countries and places with more exquisite magic. He also visited many Magic Temples to meet powerful magicians.
It should have been at that time that he met Yun Sheng's mother.
By the time Mei Li heard any more news of Yun Canghai, ten years had already passed.
The handsome and talented boy from back then had become a Magic Sage, who had changed the continent's magicians society.
Magic Sages under the age of thirty were extremely rare, both for the Great Zhou Empire and the entire Wu JI Continent.
When everyone thought that Yun Canghai would further shock the world with his genius, it became known that he practiced taboo magic and had become a black magician.
"What? You mean, my father became a black magician?" When Yun Sheng heard this, she couldn't hold back any longer and exclaimed.
