Chapter 30 The Face Behind the Mask

"Where is it?" A weak voice broke the quietness in the room.

"Whoosh!" Three figures immediately appeared around Li Kong.

"Wei, how do you feel?"

"Do you feel better?"

Looking at the concerned expressions of his teammates around him, Li Kong felt warm in his heart _ They were the people who cared so much about him like his parents and masters.

He stopped thinking and smiled. "I'm fine. Don't worry." But after he finished speaking, he was stunned, for his mask was still on?

Feeling the slight trembling on Li Kong's body, Xu Qing nodded slightly and said, "Don't worry, they know you have your secrets, so they didn't look at your face. I helped you wash the blood on your face and mask."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yulin and I are curious about what you look like, but we will never add insult to injury at a time like this." Tieqiang patted his chest and promised.

"Thank you. Don't worry, my body is recovering well. You don't have to worry."

Sure enough, after more than an hour, Li Kong, who was originally seriously injured, was able to sit up and talk with the team members.

"Wei, you, a Senior-level Second Grade mage, fought against a Senior-level Fourth Grade mage. You overcame the gap of two whole tiers! Although you have two Elements, you still couldn't be so powerful like this, right? Hurry up and tell me your secret for that." Tieqiang said half-jokingly.

"That's right. Not only are you good at combat, but you can also recover so fast. I even feel like you are a monster." Ma Yulin added from the side.

Li Kong scratched his head and said with a genuine smile, "I don't know either. Maybe my physique is special."

That was just a joke. If not for the medicinal bath that my master had given him for a year, how could his body have such recovery ability? In addition, during that period of time, he had been constantly fighting with dark beast until he was unconscious. His body and cells had been trained to be very strong, so he was very confident in his recovery ability.

As everyone talked jokingly, the frozen atmosphere in the room instantly became relaxing.

The voice of Li Kong's empty stomach made everyone relax from the original anxiety.

"Haha, I knew that you would need to replenish your energy, I have bought you steamed buns." Zhang Han's voice came from the door.

"Captain!" Li Kong straightened his body and shouted.

"Haha, you don't have to be so serious. You took the lead in this arrest." Zhang Han laughed.

"Let's go out. Let him finish eating before coming in." Zhang Han called for everyone to go out. After all, Wei was not willing to expose his identity.

"Yes. You are our great contributor. When you finish eating, call us. We will guard the door for you." Tieqiang was also a smart person. He immediately smiled and pulled Ma Yulin out of the door.

"There's no need. Everyone can stay here." Li Kong knew their intentions, but he said, though weakly.

Hearing Li Kong's answer, everyone was stunned.

"I think it's better to forget about it. After all, everyone has a little secret. Don't worry. Just eat it." Zhang Han shook his head, indicating that Li Kong did not have to do that.

Li Kong took off his mask without saying anything else.

Seeing Li Kong's real appearance, everyone except Xu Qing was shocked.

Holy s**t, this kid was actually so young.

"Wei, do you know? I didn't feel anything when I didn't know what you look like, but when I saw you, I suddenly felt uncomfortable." Ma Yulin rubbed his stiff face and looked at Li Kong with a resentful look.

"That's right! Aren't you hurting us? You're so young! How can we old fellows maintain our confidence?"

"F*ck, I knew you were very young when I hired you, but I didn't expect you to be so young like this. The younger generation really can't be underestimated."

Looking at everyone's resentful eyes, Li Kong scratched his head awkwardly again. "I was afraid that you would look down on me because I was young."

"How could I look down on you? Today, you used your ability to prove your talent. If anyone didn't want to hire you, I, Tieqiang, will be the first to refute." Tieqiang said loudly.

Wei was someone who had killed Dai Xin, a person two levels above him. This was enough to show that although his cultivation level was low, he was very strong. It could be said that other than Captain Zhang Han, no one else present had the ability to defeat Wei.

Everyone looked at Li Kong differently.

"I seriously suspect that you are the illegitimate child of some clan leader." Ma Yulin teased.

"Alright, he's still injured. Don't make fun of him. Hurry up and eat the buns. They won't taste good when they get cold." Xu Qing opened her mouth to help Li Kong ease the awkwardness.

"Well, this bun tastes really good."

"That's because I bought it."

"Hahaha."

The entire room was in a harmonious atmosphere.

"He has really grown up. I should be relieved." In the distance, an aged person stood on a branch of a dense tree and revealed a gratified smile.

He was Liu Kuilin, who had sent Li Kong to the Academy of Magic a few days ago. In fact, he did not leave but had always been around Li Kong. It was just that Li Kong could not feel his existence. From the beginning, when Li Kong fought with Zhao Qingyun, had a bet with Ma Tianhai, and then fought with Dai Xin, he was always by Li Kong's side. He was afraid that Li Kong, who had just entered the secular world, would be in danger, so he planned to stay by his side to protect him for a few days. While Li Kong was fighting with Dai Xin, Liu Kuilin had been paying close attention, afraid that Li Kong would get hurt.

However, Li Kong successfully killed Dai Xin, which made Liu Kuilin feel relieved and no longer hesitate.

"It's time to make some preparations." Liu Kuilin muttered to himself, then disappeared into thin air as if he had never appeared before.

In Yuduan Block, Yuzhou City.

"Grandma, I'm going out." Liu Ru, who was wearing glasses, said to a room that was not very spacious. He and his grandmother lived in a place less than 50 square meters in area. Because his parents were working outside the city, it seemed to be enough for two people to live.

"Come back early." This was an old and amiable voice.

After leaving the house, Liu Ru ran along Yuduan Street. This was his habit. He ran from his house to his destination _Xiangpu warehouse. There were many left-behind children gathering. They were eager to know the news about the outside world. Every day at this time, Liu Ru would run there to tell them some anecdotes.

"It is said that the day before Yuzhou City Magic Secondary School enrolled, I met an old man and a teenager at the subway station. They asked me the direction of Yuzhou City Magic Secondary School, which no one would do. I was really curious. A person may not know some other places in the city, but he must know the position of Yuzhou City's best magic school. But they didn't. I even looked down on them at that time for that. Do you know why?" The teenager squatted in the crowd, not caring at all that the child covered in mud was holding his hand.

"No, I don't ." The child replied in an innocent voice.

"They are dressed very shabbily, just look like you." Liu Ru smiled and pointed at the child.

"Why can't I go to the best magic school if I dress poorly?"

"That's my fault. I shouldn't have looked down on them. Jiaojiao, you will definitely be able to go to the best magic school when you grow up." Liu Ru gently wiped the dirt off her face.

"Did you know? Later on, that young man really entered the best magic middle school. Therefore you have to work hard. Don't feel inferior just because you're not wearing good clothes. You have to believe in yourself." Every time he was with these people, Liu Ru was very happy. He was tired of the scheming of the rich and liked the peace and tranquility here.

"You must be a powerful mage, right?" The little girl named Jiaojiao looked at Liu Ru in admiration with her big shining eyes.

"Yes, let me perform a magic trick for you, okay?"

"Hooray! You are going to perform magic for us!" Jiaojiao hopped around with her bare feet, calling to her friends around her. which made all the children sit around Liu Ru curiously.

Liu Ru silently circulated the elements, and drops of blue water appeared in his hand.

The children laughed and cried out in surprise. Their innocence and friendliness filled this small warehouse.
