Chapter 698 - 220: 3
Although I still wanted to ask more about the faction dispute within the New Witch Association—which even he, the founder of the New Witch Association, didn’t know about.
Unfortunately, Xing Xuan and Qianzhen Cao couldn’t hold back any longer and ran over to find the two to start the journey quickly.
This time the stopover was a bit too long.
Upon returning to the bus, the driver immediately resumed his previous silent and honest middle-aged man image, not even daring to smoke.
Although Qianzhen Cao was initially shocked about him being Zi Yuan’s boyfriend, he quickly lost interest.
This guy himself has a three-minute passion span.
Except for being particularly obsessed with Harry Potter, he loses interest in other things very quickly.
This is also why Qianzhen Cao had slow progress before grasping Harry Potter, unable to focus, resulting in lack of advancement. It was only later discovering that he could replicate Harry Potter’s magic that he became obsessed and rapidly advanced to the level of True Inheritance.
Now he is also debating with Xing Xuan about the strengths and weaknesses of the Demon Fighting Continent and Harry Potter settings.
Naturally, it’s a self-inflicted humiliation. To be frank, the setting of Demon Fighting Continent is the pinnacle of literary creation, although Harry Potter is not without merit, but its setting is clearly its shortcoming.
Qianzhen Cao’s attempt to win with his shortcoming is obviously impossible.
As the argument progressed, Qianzhen Cao was gradually defeated, to the point where he didn’t even want to recruit Xing Xuan anymore.
He began re-reading Harry Potter on the spot, determined to win the argument word by word.
Jiang Si had little interest in the two kids’ setting debate.
Over there, with victory in sight, Xing Xuan excitedly began a detailed discussion:
"Harry Potter’s setting is too scattered, and many of the connections between the settings are insufficient, unlike the Demon Fighting Continent which has depth and expansibility. Of course, depth and expansibility alone are not enough. For instance, with Heavenly Covering and Profound Mirror Demon Tribe, the settings are overly complex, deliberately mystifying, pretending to be ghosts, which increases the reading difficulty for readers, and is far less superior to the Demon Fighting Continent..."
"Nonsense!"
Suddenly, Jiang Si across the way slammed the table, "The setting of Heavenly Covering is just right, not too deep nor too shallow, on par with the Demon Fighting Continent. Don’t talk nonsense if you can’t understand it, how many times have you read Heavenly Covering to dare to make such a conclusion?"
Qianzhen Cao raised his hand beside, "Exactly, exactly, I think the settings of Heavenly Covering and Harry Potter are equally exquisite..."
"Stop trying to ride on the popularity of Heavenly Covering, will you? Get lost."
"Tch."
Qianzhen Cao clicked his tongue, holding onto his wizard hat, pulled at Xing Xuan, "Let’s go, we won’t play with him."
Before Xing Xuan could think of slipping away, Jiang Si on the other side pulled her in.
"Wait a minute."
Although I don’t want to take these kids too seriously,
but after all, I can’t let them talk nonsense, Jiang Si slightly corrected Xing Xuan and Qianzhen Cao’s concepts, only then did he let the two girls leave.
The two girls who were arguing before, were rendered speechless by Jiang Si’s rebuttal, and both held their breath in anger.
They shrank to the seats at the back of the bus, whispering and finally united their front.
They made a non-criticism pact.
In front of Jiang Si, never pick at the faults of Demon Fighting Continent and Harry Potter...
After all, being Lady Zi Yuan’s boyfriend, even if so excessive, the two of them couldn’t say anything.
The somewhat indignant two girls gave Jiang Si the nickname "soft meal guy."
Jiang Si naturally could hear them, but didn’t care much, as he had to think about whether he could still find the spot where he had once dropped Xilan.
It was casually tossed at the time, so it’s probably hard to find.
Midway, he tried contacting Siye Liuye.
Luckily, the two little girls were meticulous enough that they had made a mark after he had tossed Xilan,
and could easily pick her up at a later time.
The problem wasn’t very serious.
Now the New Witch Association inexplicably developed into two factions, Jiang Si never quite understood this kind of organizational split.
It would be better to find Xilan back and let her handle it.
Feeling slightly relieved, the night sky outside gradually deepened.
After all, it was already dark when they set out.
As the bus entered a tunnel with no end in sight, Jiang Si calculated the time and asked:
"How far is it to the Headquarter?"
"Almost there, we’re on a special route, should arrive by noon tomorrow."
The driver explained, "No other way to get there, we have to take the bus. The Headquarter was made by the previous Super Magical Girl, guaranteed to be reliable. It took a lot of effort to get this driver job."
Hearing the implication in his words, Jiang Si glances over.
Qianzhen Cao and Xing Xuan, after talking novels all day, nestled together, had fallen asleep on the seats nearby, and probably couldn’t hear.
Even if they did hear, they probably wouldn’t suspect anything.
"As I said, buddy." The driver, bored from the long haul, couldn’t resist chatting when he saw someone to talk with, "The most important thing is to choose the right path, talent comes second, choice is more important than effort."
Hearing the driver repeat his earnest words, Jiang Si didn’t take it to heart either.
Just as he planned to lie down for a while,
the whole bus vibrated slightly.
After sitting down, Jiang Si realized the whole bus had suddenly become lively.
There was singing, playing, and laughing conversations.
Looking around, he realized that the bus he was on had unknowingly changed.
It had turned into a school bus filled with students.
He glanced around, discovering Qianzhen Cao and Xing Xuan still sleeping in the back.
The driver seemed unaware of any anomaly.
