Chapter 325 Meeting the Parents
Jiefang South Road, [Osmanthus Judgment Team: 36200, Rank: 1/39]
[Kikyo's Judgment Team: 28300, Rank: 2/39]
【Narcissus Judgment Team: 28200, Rank: 3/39】
[Morning Glory Judgment Team: 16000, Rank: 10/39]
The battle between the two adjudication teams had come to an end. The magical girl in the pale purple magical dress walked up to the magician Kikyo with a wry smile:
"You won. I had heard that your Kikyo Judgment Team was only good at one-on-one battles, but I didn't expect that your team battle level would be so strong after just a few days."
"You really can't trust rumors!"
Hearing the Morning Glory Mage's deeply moving words, the Kikyo Mage smiled slightly, "The Osmanthus Mage's training is truly excellent."
Osmanthus Magician?
The morning glory magician paused for a moment, and for some reason, she detected a hint of jealousy in those words.
However, this was no longer what she wanted to consider. In order to secure a stable promotion to the A-level Judgment Team, their Trumpet Flower Judgment Team had to work overtime these next two days.
After the Trumpet Flower Judgment Team left, the members of the Kikyo Judgment Team approached Kikyo, the magician, and asked wearily:
"Sister Kikyo, where are we going this afternoon?"
Although they knew they couldn't make it to the S-rank Judgment Team, they should have no problem becoming the number one team in Yeqiu City!
"Take a break. I've seen you all training for the past two weeks, you've worked really hard," Kikyo said seriously.
"Yay!"
The members of the Kikyo Judgment Team were instantly filled with jubilation. At this moment, the competition rankings were worthless in the face of rest.
At the same time, the phones of Kikyo, Shiro Youqing, and Li Xuanyu rang simultaneously. Shiro-sensei: "Dear Seri-chan, are you ready to go? Today we're going to meet your parents, don't be too nervous~"
Silly older brother: "Come over to Uncle Li's house for dinner. Uncle Li made lots and lots of delicious food today."
Yuze, the older brother: "Yu, come home for dinner. Your dad made a lot of delicious food today. Come back quickly."
The three people exchanged glances before looking away.
Kikyo, the sorceress, glanced at her phone message, then looked at Bai Youqing and Li Xuanyu beside her. Their faces showed a hesitant expression: "What's wrong? Is something the matter?"
"It's like this, Xiaoyu and I probably won't be able to have lunch with the other members of the Kikyo Judgment Team. My brother asked us to go back for lunch," Bai Youqing said somewhat apologetically.
"Okay, I understand. In that case, you can go ahead." Kikyo nodded and smiled.
"OK."
Bai Youqing and Li Xuanyu greeted the Kikyo magician and said goodbye to Xia Qing and the others before leaving Jiefang South Road.
Watching Bai Youqing and Li Xuanyu leave, the magician Kikyo gently turned her gaze to Xia Qing and the others. "Xiao Qing, Xiao Xue, Tianyin, what are your plans for this afternoon?"
"Rest, play games at home, and go to sleep!" Xia Qing shouted.
"Let's read a book," Han Xue said.
"Let's read a book," Tianyin echoed. She seemed to have come to terms with it. Since the human channels were blocked, she would take the abyss passage instead.
She refused to believe that anyone would compete with her for this path!
"Okay, here's the money for lunch and dinner today. You can go out and have a nice meal. Violet Mage might be a bit busy today and won't have time to come back to prepare dinner." Kikyo Mage took out five hundred yuan from her wallet and handed it to Xia Qing with a smile.
"And what about you, Kikyo-senpai?" Xia Qing looked at the RMB in her hand, somewhat puzzled.
Kikyo, the mage, slowly turned around, a slight smile playing on her lips, a smile that held a hint of gentleness and a touch of slyness. "Violet Mage is facing a rather big problem; she can't solve it alone. I need to go and help her."
"Oh? What problem has Sister Violet encountered? Can we go and help her?"
Kikyo, the magician, patted Xia Qing's head and smiled, "Don't think too much. It's not a calamity. You can all just get some rest today."
"oh oh."
Xia Qing nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.
Only Tianyin clicked her tongue. To put it nicely, she went to help; to put it bluntly, she went on a date and then abandoned them.
However, speaking of which, why are there suddenly so many reports about Violet Magician, and they've even made it to the trending topics list?
The most controversial topic is the speculation about the true identity of the Violet Mage.
Tianyin turned her head and found that Xia Qing and Han Xue were also watching videos about the Violet Magician, and they were getting happier and happier as they watched, their faces turning red.
However, the content in these videos seems quite authentic. Could these be officially produced videos? But they don't seem like them; the political correctness that should be there is nowhere to be seen.
Tianyin pondered for a while, then decided to stop thinking about it. She had almost finished reading the Abyss Dictionary, and her daily communication was no longer a problem.
On the street, after Bai Youqing and Li Xuanyu left Jiefang South Road, they canceled their transformation and waited at the bus stop for the bus to go home.
"Xiaoqing, you said our phones rang around the same time as Kikyo-senpai's. Could they all be messages from Bai Yuzhe-gege?"
Li Xuanyu was somewhat surprised when she recalled that all three of their phones had vibrated at the same time.
"It must be a coincidence."
Bai Youqing said uncertainly.
From the beginning until now, it seems that my brother and Kikyo the Magician don't have a good relationship. How could my brother possibly invite Kikyo the Magician to dinner?
Besides, this was clearly their family dinner.
A few minutes later, Bai Youqing saw a familiar pale white figure arrive at the bus stop.
The other person was dressed in a light white dress, looking elegant and poised, with a warm smile on her face, and carrying a beautifully packaged gift box in her hand.
"Hoshino-neechan?"
"Xiao Qing, what a coincidence!"
Hoshino Seri smiled and waved her hand, her hair swaying as she looked beautiful and full of energy.
"Hmm, what a coincidence."
Bai Youqing nodded her little head, then turned her head, just as she was about to introduce Li Xuanyu to Hoshino Suri, she noticed that the latter seemed a little embarrassed and didn't dare to look at Hoshino Suri, as if she was thinking of something not so good.
"Hello, this seemingly shy Xiaoyu, my name is Hoshino Seri, I'm Mr. Bai's girlfriend, and I also teach at Yeqiu No. 1 Middle School. If you have any questions about math in the future, feel free to ask me!"
Hoshino Sori smiled slightly when she saw Li Xuanyu's embarrassed and shy expression.
The other party was probably recalling the heroic scene of the magical girl Qingju defeating the abyss werewolf a while ago.
Back then, the other person had such a serious face, like a little adult; looking back now, it's actually quite adorable! "Okay, I understand."
Li Xuanyu never expected to encounter the person she had saved before here, and to meet them today.
How embarrassing! It's one thing to transform into a magical girl and teach someone a lesson, but it's quite another when a junior is facing a real person!
However, that wasn't the most awkward part. The most awkward part was when we went to Uncle Li's house.
Bai Yuze didn't stop sending messages. He not only sent messages to Hoshino Seri, but also to Bai Youqing and Li Xuanyu, causing their phones to ring non-stop the whole way.
And at this moment, it is just like that moment back then.
Bai Youqing and Li Xuanyu exchanged a glance, silently found Kikyo the Magician's CCSA phone number, and dialed it.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are! When they looked up, they saw a strange smile flickering in Hoshino Seri's gentle eyes, and her snow-white index finger was gently placed in the center of her red lips, the meaning of which was self-evident.
Bai Youqing:
99
Li Xuanyu:
99
At this moment, Bai Youqing's eyes were filled with endless shock and bewilderment, while Li Xuanyu wished she could put her head under the seat.
When she first joined the magical girl team, she boldly reprimanded the Violet Mage. After joining the Judgment Squad, she directly reprimanded the captain of the Kikyo Judgment Squad. She suddenly felt that her life was full of setbacks and difficulties!
On their way to their destination, Bai Youqing and Li Xuanyu went from exchanging only a few words at the beginning to having a lively conversation.
Especially Bai Youqing, whose eyes were filled with surprise!
"Hoshino-neechan, there's a question that's been on my mind for a long time. Can you tell me the answer today?"
"Yes, go ahead and ask."
"Hoshino-neechan, if you and my brother get into a fight in the future, who's stronger between you two?"
"The assumption that Shiro-sensei is very gentle doesn't hold true~" Hoshino Seri thought for a moment, then shook her head with great certainty, "Besides, I rarely see Shiro-sensei get angry."
Seeing that Hoshino-neechan had steered the conversation away from the topic, Bai Youqing seemed to have already found her answer.
At the same time, she was also drawn to the other person's words. It seemed that she had never seen her brother lose his temper before, not even once in her life.
"Sui, it's rare, not nonexistent. Have you seen her before, Hoshino-neechan?"
"Well, actually I took you to see it live back then." Hoshino Seri smiled meaningfully.
"what?"
Bai Youqing recalled for a long time before remembering the time when the magician Kikyo took her to the Abyss Nest.
"Sister Hoshino, are you saying that my brother was responsible for the destruction of the Abyss Nest?"
"Um."
Hoshino Seri nodded slightly; it was the first time she had ever seen Shiro-sensei get angry!
"Wait, why do you always bring up Bai Yuzhe when you chat? Is there something I don't know?"
Sitting to the side, Li Xuanyu listened to Bai Youqing and Hoshino Sori's conversation, but she was completely confused. She felt that everything was very familiar, but she couldn't match the characters.
"Sigh, I almost forgot that Sister Xiaoyu is still here with me."
As she spoke, Bai Youqing's face suddenly turned cold. "Since you heard what you shouldn't have heard, it seems I'm going to lose another good friend today."
"Wait! You mean, could it be your brother?"

Li Xuanyu was completely uncooperative with Bai Youqing's performance. She seemed to have learned too much information today, and her mind couldn't process it all. If what Xiaoqing said was true, then wouldn't that mean... she scolded both of her seniors by herself!
At that moment, Li Xuanyu looked out the bus window and suddenly thought about jumping out.
As her shyness and distress faded, endless warmth emerged. The image of Senior Violet bursting into the school alone flashed through her mind, and for her sake, she directly poured that dose of poison into her own body.
Xiaoqing really has a great older brother!
Li Xuanyu pursed her lips, her gaze towards Bai Youqing filled with envy and jealousy.
It's all my own father's fault for being so useless!
Otherwise, such a good older brother should clearly be mine!
Noticing Li Xuanyu's gaze, Bai Youqing said with a smile, "Sister Xiaoyu, remember to keep this a secret. I wouldn't tell you if it weren't for Uncle Li's sake."
She had thought about her brother's identity for a long time, and finally decided that it would be better to let Sister Xiaoyu know.
In his elder brother's eyes, Uncle Li and Li Xuanyu held relatively important positions; they could even be considered family.
Hoshino Seri watched Bai Youqing and Li Xuanyu's conversation without interrupting. For her, meeting the parents was the most important thing.
After they finished talking, Hoshino Seri slowly raised her question, "Ms. Shiro said she would take me to meet her parents today, but Ms. Shiro seems to be..."
"My brother must be talking about Uncle Li, right? He's a good brother to my dad. If I'm not mistaken, he's probably taking you to see him." Bai Youqing said slowly. She really thought the sun had risen in the west today, and that Uncle Li would specially cook something delicious for her. It turns out that she and Li Xuanyu were the facilitators, and Hoshino Seri was the main facilitator.
"Does Uncle Li have any hobbies or dislikes?" Hoshino Seri nodded and asked again in a soft voice.
"My dad usually likes to drink a little wine and smoke. When he has free time, he finds a place to read novels. He doesn't have any other hobbies." Seeing Bai Youqing and Hoshino Seri talking for so long, Li Xuanyu finally found a place she was familiar with.
No one is more devoted to her father than she is!
After getting off the bus, Hoshino Seri went to a nearby convenience store and bought two packs of cigarettes and a bottle of wine, as well as some snacks for Li Xuanyu and Bai Youqing.
When Bai Yuwu saw Hoshino Seri again at the noodle shop, he only saw that she was with Bai Youqing and Li Xuanyu, carrying two festive red plastic bags. Anyone who didn't know better would think that she had come to pay New Year's respects!
"Hoshino-sensei, you're here. Have some water." Bai Yuwu poured two glasses of water and handed one to Hoshino Seri and the other to Li Xuanyu. Bai Youqing looked up at him pitifully, "Brother, where's mine?"
"Don't you have hands? Pour it yourself." Bai Yuwu glanced at her.
"Hmph, I'll pour myself whatever I want, but I'm also pouring myself a drink." Bai Youqing snorted and ran to the refrigerator next to her. She poured herself a cup of coconut milk with satisfaction, but before she could drink it, Uncle Li's words came over.
"You're all grown up now, how come you still don't have any sense of propriety? You should at least pour some for your sister-in-law first!"
Bai Youqing was already used to the words coming from Uncle Li's kitchen, but Hoshino Seri's cheeks were quietly flushed, and her slender fingers began to caress her clothes or lightly touch the hair on her face.
Hoshino Seri's fidgeting stopped only when Bai Yu held her in his hand. She gently turned her head, her cheeks puffing out unconsciously due to the emotions in her voice, as if in silent protest. Her soft muttering carried a hint of helplessness and reproach, "Teacher Bai is really awful. He suddenly told me I had to meet his parents, and I wasn't prepared at all."
"I just wanted to give Hoshino-sensei a surprise~"
"This isn't a surprise, it's a shock!" Hoshino Sori said angrily.
"I was wrong, it will never happen again. But why did you come back with Xiaoqing and Xiaoyu?" Bai Yu asked curiously.
"Oh, I just happened to run into them on the way, so I came over with them."
Hoshino Seri looked at Shiro-sensei's handsome face and the interesting question in his eyes, and chuckled.
Now she is very curious about how Teacher Xiaobai will react after she tells her true identity after the arbitration exchange competition ends tomorrow!
That cute little face must be filled with surprise!
While Bai Yuwu and Hoshino Sori were chatting, Bai Youqing and Li Xuanyu sat to the side watching longingly, practically eating their dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection). "Ugh~ I can't stand it! They've only just arrived and they're already whispering in each other's ears. Even though they were transforming into magical girls, they acted like they were enemies."
"Qing, Yu, what are you two doing sitting there? Come over here and hit me down."
"Waaah, our feelings have faded. Uncle Li, you were never like this before. We could just wait outside to eat," Bai Youqing cried.
"Stop talking nonsense. My own daughter is already here, let alone yours. Stop talking nonsense and wash those vegetables over there for me, then cook six spoonfuls of rice. If you have a big appetite, cook seven spoonfuls."
While Uncle Li was directing Bai Youqing and Li Xuanyu to work, Bai Yuwu and Hoshino Sori outside were also busy.
There weren't many guests today, but there were some.
Bai Yuwu prepared the ingredients and cooked the noodles, while Hoshino Seri recorded the orders and served the noodles. The two worked together seamlessly, just like an old married couple.
As the last customer left, Hoshino Seri looked at Bai Yuze curiously and chuckled, "Teacher Bai, so you can make noodles too."
"I know a little."
Bai Yuwu carefully put away the bowls and chopsticks from the noodle shop, smiled, and said, "If I have time in the future, I'll make noodles just for you."
Hoshino Seri didn't speak, she just stared at him.

After a moment, Bai Yuze turned his face away helplessly and looked elsewhere, saying, "Teacher Hoshino, don't overthink it. What I wanted to say was to eat noodles."
Hoshino Seri blinked in confusion. "Why later? Not today?"
When Bai Yuwu turned around, all he saw was Hoshino Seri's cute face, which was slightly flushed.
The wind stopped, the rain stopped, and Seri-chan felt like she was back to normal.
