Little Sorcerer, Divine Doctor

Chapter 588 - 80: Traveling Together

"The two of you, this might actually be a blessing in disguise. As far as I’m aware, the Light Mage with your group this time is your friend. First, bring this news to him; then come back later," the Dark Gold Master said to Yun Sheng and Donghuang Lingling after walking a distance with them, suddenly speaking up.

Yun Sheng and Donghuang Lingling also guessed that Gu Feng must be the Light Mage accompanying the group. Indeed, they wanted to find him to ask more about Sky Wing City, so they simply went to look for Gu Feng first.

With a stern face, the Dark Gold Master returned to the thatched hut.

Inside the hut, Ke Ling was waiting.

Ke Ling didn’t see Yun Sheng and Donghuang Lingling and felt secretly pleased, assuming they had been expelled from the Elite Camp.

She approached eagerly: "Master, have the two of them been expelled from the Elite Camp?"

"They were expelled, and that makes you happy?" The Dark Gold Master had an expression of utter calm, showing neither pleasure nor anger.

Ke Ling hastily excused herself: "How could that be, if my junior sisters were expelled, I would be very upset."

"Hmph, upset? It seems more like you are pleased. Ke Ling, I ask you, why did you expose that Yun Sheng wasn’t in her room!" the Dark Gold Master reprimanded loudly!

Ke Ling had never seen the Dark Gold Master so furious; sensing trouble, she quickly knelt on the ground, "Dark Gold Master, I didn’t. I was just worried that Yun Sheng’s matter would affect you. Everything I did, I did considering you."

"Ke Ling, you are expelled," the Dark Gold Master declared solemnly.

"What?! Master, what are you saying! Yun Sheng is the one who made the mistake, why are you expelling me!" Ke Ling had not expected the Dark Gold Master to suddenly send her away; she turned pale with fright.

"Over these five years, the things you’ve done, don’t think I’m not aware of them," the Dark Gold Master said coldly, staring at Ke Ling. If not for the remaining sentiment of the mentor-apprentice relationship, she would have killed Ke Ling long ago.

Ke Ling was terrified by the Dark Gold Master’s demeanor.

Despite outside rumors that the Dark Gold Master was a terrifying Dark Mage, she never laid a hand on her own trainees.

Ke Ling knew that if she dared to resist, the Dark Gold Master would truly kill her on the spot.

Ke Ling still had an unyielding spirit; she had followed the Dark Gold Master for five years, and throughout, she worked hard, pretending to be respectful and obedient, never making a mistake, and was close to learning the Master’s Secret Magic. Now at this moment, she was being expelled.

How could she accept this willingly.

"Master, I don’t know what you’re talking about. I haven’t done anything," Ke Ling was still arguing.

"Three years ago, during the first Blood Refining, Liu Hong who died unexpectedly; two years ago, Qin Ruo who went mad without cause, these people, you can’t say they have nothing to do with you," the Dark Gold Master said, referring to some Mages who had been under her tutelage in previous years.

None of these people lasted more than three years.

"Master, their incidents... they were all accidents, even the Elder Council investigated and found no link to me," Ke Ling still refused to admit any wrongdoing.

"Ke Ling, if you continue to argue, believe it or not, I will kill you this instant. All your Magic was taught by me." The Dark Gold Master, filled with resentment, held her Magic Scepter tightly.

Looking at the magic wand in the mentor’s hand, Ke Ling understood that the mentor really knew everything, she knew it all, a surge of shame and hatred welled up within Ke Ling.

"Dark Gold! So what if you know? Wasn’t it you who indulged me in doing all this? If you had stopped me, how could I have succeeded? You are the real demon, forcing Yun Sheng and Donghuang Lingling to endure inhuman training, almost driving them mad! Making them enter the Arena, wasn’t it just to turn them into cold-blooded, heartless Dark Mages?"

Ke Ling sneered miserably, "I was just like them at the beginning, but because of your training, I gradually became cruel and bloodthirsty. It was you who turned me into this ghastly figure, without friends, without humanity!"

Dark Gold sighed, "Ke Ling, do you really think that Dark Magic erases one’s humanity? The reason I trained you is to strengthen your resolve. So when you learn true Dark Magic, the murderous intent of Dark Magic Power won’t take over your mind. Those in the past who died or went mad, I didn’t stop them because they couldn’t adapt to the cultivation of Dark Magic. The weak must be eliminated. Even if I don’t do it, once they enter the Blood Refining, they will be erased. Although your cultivation is stronger than Yun Sheng’s for now, you do not qualify to become a Dark Mage. Leave now, don’t make me take action, I don’t want to see you again."

Ke Ling’s face turned pale in an instant.

She hadn’t expected Dark Gold Master’s intentions to be such.

Over the past few years, she had used all kinds of means to push away the other trainees, thinking she was unnoticed, only to find out that Dark Gold Master knew it all.

And, all this, was actually a test given by Dark Gold Master.

"Mentor, please give me another chance, considering the many years I’ve served you, grant me this opportunity. This time, I will not sabotage in secret, I will get along well with Yun Sheng and Donghuang Lingling. I swear, if I do wrong again, let my Magic Soul be utterly destroyed, and may I die a terrible death!" Ke Ling begged, her talent was originally quite impressive, chosen by Dark Gold Master from numerous trainees as someone suited to learn Dark Magic. Dark Gold never really wanted to drive her away.

A mage’s most toxic vow is the destruction of their Magic Soul.

Ke Ling’s words suggested she might truly have a repentant heart.

Dark Gold Master pondered for a moment.

In the end, she couldn’t bring herself to be harsh.

"Alright, then I’ll give you one more chance. In the meantime, Yun Sheng and Donghuang Lingling will accompany the Second Elder to the Sky Wings Arena, be mindful of your actions." Dark Gold Master sighed, no longer paying attention to Ke Ling who was kneeling on the ground.

Ke Ling did not lift her head until Dark Gold Master had left.

She couldn’t believe that those two had not been expelled from the Mainland Magic Elite Camp and had even obtained the opportunity to go to the Sky Wings Arena with the Second Elder!

Ke Ling was stunned on the spot.

Her heart, already devoid of any guilt, now crazily bred hatred and jealousy.

As a senior trainee, she had never had the opportunity to go to the Sky Wings Arena in five whole years.

Every trainee who returned from the Sky Wings Arena showed leaps and bounds in their progress.

"Yun Sheng and Donghuang Lingling, don’t expect to have an easy time. Just you wait, when the time for Blood Refining comes, I’ll have plenty of opportunities to make sure you suffer a horrible fate," Ke Ling murmured.

Yun Sheng and Donghuang Lingling had already found Gu Feng.

As soon as Gu Feng heard that Yun Sheng and Donghuang Lingling were going with him, his mouth broke into a wide grin, and he began to explain everything about Sky Wing City in great detail to the two of them.
