"Princess San!" A group of officers came down from the military helicopter, and they split into two groups. A tall man walked out from the middle, his bearing and dignity were imposing. The officers all shouted in unison, "Li Liu, who was playing volleyball on the beach."
Princess San? Violet Li Liu?
"Little Li Liu, it seems like you can't hide it anymore," the president said.
"Huh? What is the president talking about? We don't even know who this Princess San is."
The president gently pulled the vice president aside. "Don't worry, they won't do anything to you. They didn't come to find you before because they didn't want to embarrass the principal. They asked you to pretend to be seasick when you left the school previously, just to avoid exposing you. But after last night's battle, I'm afraid they have been keeping an eye on us!"
"But..."
"Let me handle it!" The president walked towards the tall man. "Uncle Qin, what can I do for Princess San?"
"Oh, Lena is here too! Your father told me that you haven't returned to The Divine Realm much in the past two years. Have you found a boy you like in The Human Realm?" The tall man was Qin Feng.
"Um~ Uncle, don't guess randomly. This time I'm just helping a friend," Li Liu said.
"I know. You are like sisters with Princess San. You want to help her escape the pursuit of the royal family, but..." Duke Qin lowered his voice and whispered to the president, "But, yesterday's commotion was too big and attracted attention. I admire Princess San's pursuit of freedom, and I want to help her too, but there's no way to escape this time!"
"If Uncle doesn't want to bring the princess back, but is forced to by other factors, is there no solution?" Li Liu asked.
"There is—a strong resistance from the princess. No one can stop her!"
Duke Qin and the president exchanged a glance, as if they could read something from each other's eyes. The president turned around without any expression on his face and walked back to us.
The conversation between Duke Qin and the president was hardly heard by anyone except for a few guards around him, who were all trustworthy.
At this moment, with nothing to do, I chatted with my sister.
"Brother, did something happen yesterday? I slept so soundly at night, it didn't affect me at all!"
"Um, there's nothing, really! Just that Qingxue came back, and I was a bit excited!" I couldn't tell my sister or anyone else that overnight I gained another fiancée and a love rival. It's not a bad thing, but it's not a good thing either! What if I'm seen as a playboy?
"You didn't do anything to her, did you? It's strange how she looks at you." Wenxin looked at me suspiciously.
At the same time, I looked at Qingxue. Her eyes were filled with resentment as she stared at me. Oh my! Is she going to kill me with her gaze? There's a saying, "If looks could kill, I would have died tens of thousands of times!"
"Cough, there's nothing, just some unfinished private matters! If you're a freshman, don't ask so many questions or make wild guesses!" I immediately suppressed Wenxin's curiosity. It would be troublesome if she found out something she shouldn't.
Just as the president came back to us, he shouted, "Get on the boat, run!"
That was the secret signal. In an instant, the "Demon Sealing Formation" was released, isolating the several square meters of space in front of us, causing the magic bullets fired by the officers who pulled out their guns to dissipate in that space.
If it was a large-scale isolation, I would probably be lying in bed for another day. And when the president turned around, she had already informed me through our contract of her intentions.
At this moment, without any prior notification, everyone ran towards the yacht unanimously. This kind of tacit understanding might have come from the volleyball training in the past two days.
As soon as I launched my first wave of attacks, Hanya's longsword raised a strong gust of wind and sand. Everyone instinctively covered their eyes, except for one person—Duke Qin. As a man who had already reached the pinnacle of human magic, this kind of magic had no effect on him. But he didn't make any move, allowing us to distance ourselves from him and his officers.
Once on the yacht, Nofis set up various anti-tracking magic, providing multiple layers of protection. Even if Nofis' powers were restricted, they would still be tracked. Qingxue and Yao both coincidentally created thick fog, enveloping the surroundings in endless white mist. However, the military personnel who were experienced in maneuvering on the battlefield weren't greatly hindered by the fog. So Qingxue immediately laid down a Thunder Pool at the back of the ship, and Li Liu used her illusion magic to create distractions, making it difficult for them to move forward.Although they efficiently cleared all the lightning balls in the thunder pool, during this period of time, it was enough for us to escape from their sight. And with Nofis's magic array, even if they can decipher one magic array, how many magic arrays from ancient times to the present can they decipher for the "Magic Array Encyclopedia"?
Without the involvement of Duke Qin, we managed to escape. Although it was reckless to go against the military, as friends, how could we not help when our friends are in trouble? Qin Yin can sacrifice her own life for me, so how can I not sacrifice my own life for a friend? Besides, in a sense, Li Liu is still my fiancée. Regardless, the guild leader doesn't want the vice guild leader to be harmed again. "Adventure"? Who cares? The important thing is to save her!
Duke Qin stood on the island and looked at the yacht in the distance through the mist. He fell into deep thought.
"My lord, should we just let them escape like this?" Shi Wei asked the duke.
"In the 'Sealing Demon Array,' magic cannot be used. Do you have a solution?" The duke smiled slightly at Shi Wei and turned to board the helicopter.
"What about young master...?"
"It's fine. He will solve his own problems. Hehe, this little brat reminds me of myself in the past. But who knows if he can handle it. Wait, there's somewhere I need to go first. Everyone else, go back. You stay!" The duke disembarked from the helicopter and ascended the mountain where the battle with the young girl took place last night.
The cold wind heated up slowly in the sunlight, but the ice on the mountain did not melt at all.
The duke stood at the top of the mountain and took a deep breath, looking very content. He silently admired the scenery below and calmly spoke, "Standing in a place where everything is in sight, do you think your invisibility technique is so advanced? You joker-like observer!" The duke seemed to be talking to the air, receiving no response.
Suddenly, the duke's right hand forcefully grabbed, and red and black flames blazed fiercely. Like eagle claws, they grasped a certain spot and a painful scream abruptly sounded from there. A black-clothed person was mercilessly pulled out from invisibility.
"Have mercy, my lord?" The person pleaded in agony.
"Mercy? I haven't even pulled you out until now, turning you into minced meat is already merciful enough. It doesn't matter if you bring back other things, but you saw something you shouldn't have seen. Regardless of whether you saw me intentionally letting the Third Princess go, just by seeing my flames in this hand, you should disappear forever!" The duke showed no mercy towards the person in front of him and every word indicated a murderous intent.
"Isn't Duke afraid of the National Teacher finding out?" The black-clothed person revealed their trump card, trying to save their disappearing life.
"Afraid of the new National Teacher from the royal family? Me, a duke, afraid of a newcomer? Although I can't do anything to him, he can't do anything to me either. You better give up!" As soon as the duke finished speaking, the hellfire crazily engulfed the black-clothed person until there was no trace left. The intense flame only took a moment to peel off the icy exterior of the mountain, revealing its true appearance.
The duke wiped away the killing intent that covered him and returned to the bottom of the mountain with a faint smile...

Two days later, on a serene morning, the cool autumn morning made people feel unusually comfortable.
Qin Yin, Nofis, and I were walking on the road to school as usual. Nofis's beauty continued to attract the attention of passersby, and it was even more bewildering and talked about when she walked out of the boys' dormitory while holding my arm.
"Why does that idiot goat get to monopolize such a beauty? It's so jealousy-inducing!"
"Hmph, why? It's the 'Sealing Demon Array'! If you want your hand chopped off, go flip them off!"
"Uh..."
"Speechless, huh? Just continue being an average loser. Maybe someday you'll stumble upon something that can help you break free from your misfortune!"
After the incident from the last duel, although my good luck might have made many people unhappy, they didn't dare to mess with me too much. After all, my previous crazy actions had been widely spread by many interested parties. This sheep of mine is actually a wolf in sheep's clothing, a demon incarnate.
"Qin Yang!"
"Vice guild leader? Why are you here so early? How did you see me?"
The vice guild leader did not answer, she just wordlessly took hold of my other arm, and her soft chest pressed against me."Vice... Vice President, what's going on?"
"I'm yours, no matter where we go, it won't change!" The Vice President's bold confession instantly left the male students who had been watching in chaos. It was estimated that by noon, news of the ice-cold beauty being captured by the sheep would spread.
Whether it's a god or a demon, please come and save my peaceful life, when you hear my cry! I'm going to drag hatred again!
"Summon the group members, prepare for the stake!" I heard the sound of someone loading a gun from a certain organization.
"Hey, keep a close eye on your girlfriend and younger sister. If they fall into the hands of the devil, it's over! Let me tell you..." Someone has already started calling and advising their friends.
"Hey, is this the news department? I have explosive news. The iceberg beauty, the senior sister of the student council, has been broken through the iceberg. What? Who did it? Qin Yang! Don't you know he's surrounded by beauties on both sides now? I'll send you the photos. By the way, what do I get for this scoop? I want the minister's autographed picture..." Okay, I lost. Who would leak information for an autographed photo!
"Qin Yang is a big villain!"
Qin Yin, please stop looking at me with such a melancholy gaze, I'll go crazy!
