Chapter 948 - 290: Today’s Showdown, Great Joy (5,000 Words)

Keke and Li Yi frantically put down the snacks and immediately took out their Miracle Seeds. Li Yi ended up grabbing sunflower seeds instead and took quite a while to find her own Miracle Seed.

The two of them looked seriously at this girl who would probably be considered a top-ranking officer in an animated film.

"Don’t be nervous, don’t be nervous," Jia Lan quickly raised both her hands. "I’m just here to attend the wedding as a guest."

The two Magical Girls exchanged a glance, then Keke glared at her. "You’re talking nonsense, Mirror Country has nothing to do with the Witch Association."

The Prince had patiently explained to them before that Mirror Country and the Witch Association were enemies too. As the leaders of the Old World, they wanted to make amends for the mistakes they made in the New World and coexist peacefully with it.

Getting married to Jiang Si was their first step towards friendly relations with the New World.

"This time, Mirror Country invited many people to the wedding, including us from the Witch Association." Jia Lan glared at Keke for a moment, as if trying to flatter her but maintaining her composure, finally taking out a Miracle Seed and handing it to Keke.

"Jiang Si and I are old colleagues, good friends. It’s just a small token for our first meeting..."

"I don’t want it." Keke immediately rejected it. "I won’t accept anything from the Witch Association."

Li Yi replied, "Wait, didn’t you go dark already?"

Keke glared fiercely at her friend, "Temporary redemption!"

Jia Lan had no choice but to shrug, somewhat regretful that she couldn’t use Keke to foster better relations with Si Motu.

If Si Motu really turned hostile in the end, the Witch Association would be in trouble...

"Don’t be so reactive, actually, in the end, Mirror Country won’t be much different from the Witch Association. Do you think Southern China will forget their deep-seated enmity with Mirror Country? Ultimately, Mirror Country will collaborate with the Witch Association, just like inviting me today."

Jia Lan wanted to say a few more words to get Keke to join her team. But right then Alice surrounded her, with dozens of angry-looking Alices. "Found her! A Witch Association member illegally infiltrating Mirror Country! Catch her!"

So Jia Lan immediately waved her hand and fled outside. "Not disturbing you, I’ll head out first."

"Weren’t you not even invited in the first place!"

Keke and Li Yi looked speechlessly at the escaping Jia Lan, then turned to find Yue Ji was gone. Li Yi pulled Keke, "Let’s go, don’t worry about her."

The scene was a little chaotic with Alice chasing Jia Lan, but it soon calmed down.

"Actually, I’ve been thinking, Yiyi." Keke suddenly said as she followed her friend to a safer spot.

Li Yi casually asked as she looked at the Royal Palace, "What is it?"

"If Teacher Zi Yuan breaks up with my brother..." Keke held a dessert and sighed a little melancholically while responding to greetings from people around her. "How can I continue to maintain a closer relationship with Teacher?"

"Huh? Isn’t the student-teacher relationship already good enough?"

Keke scratched her head and sat down on the stairs next to them. There, large banquet tables were laid out, covered with desserts and snacks, slowly revolving. The guests on both sides were chatting and laughing, but their attention was actually focused on the Royal Palace.

Everyone was staring at the Royal Palace, waiting for the final moment.

"The student-teacher relationship is great, but what if one day, I’m saying if one day Teacher Zi Yuan thinks my skills are sufficient and lets me graduate, that relationship wouldn’t be able to continue."

Li Yi pouted, "I thought you were going to say something important, then just join Cyan Cloud Sect. Anyway, the Disaster Strategy Bureau is already defunct, it’s just a lackey under Cyan Cloud Sect now. Joining Cyan Cloud Sect is as simple as changing departments..."

"No way." Keke said with a frown, "If I join Cyan Cloud Sect, wouldn’t I be just like those disciples? I wouldn’t be special to Teacher Zi Yuan anymore."

"What are you talking about, what’s with being special or not..."

Li Yi had been focusing on the opposite side’s Yue Ji, pondering what the person was here for. Though there were Disaster Strategy Bureau members like Susan and her group who came to stir things up, they’d all entered the Royal Palace. Yue Ji’s identity was indeed suspicious.

But upon hearing Keke’s words, she suddenly turned to look at her friend as if she had thought of something, "Wait, why do you have to be special?"

"Huh?" Keke scratched her head, slightly confused too, "I’ve wanted to be Teacher Zi Yuan’s most special friend from the start. Haven’t I told you?"

After a long silence, Li Yi wiped the sweet juice off her hand, grabbed Keke’s shoulder with a serious and earnest expression.

That expression startled Keke for a moment, "Wh-what is it?"

"You absolutely cannot fall for Zi Yuan!"

"What are you talking about..."

"You absolutely can’t fall for Zi Yuan, okay? Student-teacher is student-teacher, they can’t become lovers!"

"I know, I know." Keke said, both amused and helpless, pushing her friend away, "What are you talking about, I just want to be the best friend with Teacher, just like with Yiyi... Wait, Yiyi, do you think your only friend is being snatched away by Teacher Zi Yuan and that’s why you’re so agitated... You really like me too much, your possessiveness is so strong, gross..."

"You’re the one who’s gross! Anyway, I have lots of friends!"

As they pinched each other’s cheeks, Li Yi also breathed a sigh of relief, "Anyway, having just me as a friend is enough for Keke. As for Zi Yuan, you’re not allowed to like her or be her best friend."

"That’s so domineering."

"That’s how friends are," Li Yi said confidently. "You just maintain the student-teacher relationship with Zi Yuan."
