"Apprentice?"

Wang Ye was slightly taken aback.

Immediately afterward, Wang Ye smiled at Lin Shuang with a hint of helplessness: "At that time, I just wanted to teach that little girl a lesson, and I was afraid she might be bullied when she went back, so I said she was my apprentice."

"That way, if any powerful individuals got in touch with her, she wouldn't be bullied."

Of course, Wang Ye knew that even so, not telling Lin Shuang about this was his mistake, so he said to Lin Shuang:

"If there's time, I'll take you to meet that little girl. She's quite a lovely young lady."

Lin Shuang initially wanted to continue to complain about Wang Ye, but upon hearing this, she couldn't say anything more and simply responded with a gentle "Hmm."

Then.

Wang Ye started watching.

While watching, Wang Ye helped Lin Shuang analyze the characteristics of each magician when they competed with others.

After all, Lin Shuang wasn't a magician. If she relied only on what she saw, there were many aspects she might not understand, but with Wang Ye's explanation, Lin Shuang could comprehend the situation.

As Wang Ye explained to Lin Shuang, he was also mentally summarizing for easier recall.

Among them, Ji Ru Yu impressed Wang Ye most during the competition with opponents.

At the end of the day, followed by the next day, and the third day.

The initial days of the competition weren't very intense.

They were merely weeding out some of the low-level magicians.

Quickly, it was the fourth day.

In the entire sorcerer's headquarters competition, only twelve people remained.

Among the twelve, three were Third Grade Sorcerers, and the other nine were all Second Rank Sorcerers.

They were also the only three Second Rank Sorcerers of the young generation.

Ji Lanshan was one of the three Third Grade Sorcerers.

After drawing lots, Zhou Ke looked at Wang Ye with some concern and asked, "How about it, who do you want to compete against in the next match?"

By this point, it was essentially a showdown among the very best, and Zhou Ke was worried Wang Ye might encounter another big shot, so he asked anxiously.

Originally, Zhou Ke, as the Chairman of the Wei City Mage Guild, should be handling some affairs, and almost all the heavier chores needed Zhou Ke's attention.

But because Wang Ye was a First Grade Peak Cultivator, not only did the Sorcerer's Headquarters not assign heavy tasks to Zhou Ke, but they even allowed him to take a break.

"The Sun Family, Sun Tinghou."

When Wang Ye mentioned his opponent, Zhou Ke's face immediately changed.

If, in this sorcerer's headquarters competition, there were three individuals to be particularly cautious of, Sun Tinghou would be the second.

Sun Tinghou from the Sun Family, a prestigious lineage among magicians, was the only son of this generation.

Unlike other sorcerer families, this generation's Family Head of the Sun Family was a woman, and due to affection for her, she had no more children after Sun Tinghou was born.

Sun Tinghou did not disappoint, achieving great accomplishments in the realm of sorcery.

Last year, he directly passed the Second Rank Sorcerer's assessment, at just thirty-five years of age.

Of course, this was also because Sun Tinghou's father had only him, so all their thoughts were directed toward educating him, and all the family's resources were dedicated solely to him.

Among the young generation of talented sorcerers.

The foremost was Ye Chen from the Ye Family.

The second was Sun Tinghou from the Sun Family.

And the third.

Was Ji Shaoyun from the Ji Family.

The master of the Divine Stone Workshop had previously provided Wang Ye with general information about Sun Tinghou, so when Wang Ye saw the name, he recited all of this information.

He understood why Zhou Ke appeared so concerned.

Wang Ye smiled at Zhou Ke:

"Master, you don't need to worry. Even though Sun Tinghou is among the top three, that's because I wasn't in the picture before. If I step up, maybe I'd become number one directly."

The calm tone in which Wang Ye said this somehow reassured Zhou Ke, who was initially worried upon hearing these words.

"You're quite confident."

Sun Tinghou, hearing this, glanced at Wang Ye, playfully scolded him, but then also said, "It was unexpected to encounter Sun Tinghou in the twelve-to-six match."

"If you're confident, I can hold some expectations. If you fail, it's no big deal; the master of the Divine Stone Workshop has been paying attention to me since the start. At that time, even if I must curry some personal favor, that abbot might still find a way to preserve the Wei City Mage Guild."

"Then, your cooperation with the master of the Divine Stone Workshop will remain safeguarded. At worst, you simply withdraw from the Wei City Mage Guild, so as not to be dragged down by it."

Zhou Ke's expression turned a bit heavier as he spoke.

Wang Ye's association with the Wei City Mage Guild was always a source of pride for Zhou Ke.

But if the guild were to hold Wang Ye back, Zhou Ke wouldn't insist on keeping him.

Wang Ye rolled his eyes at Zhou Ke, while Lin Shuang laughed, saying to Zhou Ke, "Chairman Zhou, can you stop doubting Wang Ye? If Wang Ye says he can defeat Sun Tinghou, then he surely can."

"Exactly."

Wang Ye remarked, seemingly exasperated: "My girlfriend doesn't understand the sorcerer's path at all, yet she trusts me more than you do."

While Wang Ye, Zhou Ke, and Lin Shuang were chatting, others who had completed their draws had already started competing.

The first match caught Wang Ye somewhat by surprise.

It was Ji Ru Yu versus Ji Shaoyun.

Wang Ye sat between Zhou Ke and Lin Shuang, asking them, "Take a guess, between Ji Ru Yu and Ji Shaoyun, who will win?"

Zhou Ke remained silent.

Ji Ru Yu had only just advanced to Second Rank Sorcerer.

But Ji Shaoyun had surpassed that rank for over a month already.

Even though it was merely a month's difference, it still meant Ji Shaoyun had progressed much during that period.

Lin Shuang smiled gleefully and wagered on Ji Ru Yu.

Not for any other reason.

But because she knew Wang Ye hoped for Ji Ru Yu's victory.
