Project: Mage - The Frugal Mage

Chapter 77

On the other side of the grandstand, Xie Xinyue sat in the same chair as before, the chair next to Liu Yang. She seemed a little dismayed by the loss.

"It was a good fight, but your lack of experience is quite evident. Your decisions were a little poor, despite being good against the kind of darkness and curse mage"Liu Xia commented without turning to the side, her words were a little cold, but true.

"So you are saying that if it were you, would you have won this fight?" Xie Xinyue didn"t care about Liu Xia"s criticism and asked, did she know about her lack of experience in real combat. Her clan took good care of her and she was raised in a box-like many other influential young people, which meant that many of them did not have some types of experience that other young people have.

Xie Xinyue"s clan didn"t let her go to dangerous places to fight and gain more experience, as they didn"t want her to get hurt or anything. Because of this, she always trained at home and in a combat simulator, but a simulator was completely different from real combat.

The training in the simulator was mechanical, after discovering how the attacks worked, the fight becomes monotonous and boring. Besides, the simulators did not give the mages the feeling of life or death, and this diminished their performance.

But that was dangerous because the most arrogant mages thought they were powerful and could fight those types of creatures in the real world. Some realized they were wrong and almost lost their lives in the process.

"I don"t want to brag or anything, but I would have seventy percent to win" Liu Xia answered Xie Xinyue"s question, she wasn"t talking nonsense. From the things she saw during the fight, Xie Xinyue calculated her percentage of victory, she even knew what s.h.i.+ Bao"s third element was and already had countermeasures.

s.h.i.+ Bao had an entire rank above Liu Xia, he was an advanced mage and she was an intermediate mage, that was a big difference. However, in a real fight, another element was added, experience, the one who has more experience can win against the one who did not, even if he has much smaller cultivation.

Many powerful clans wanted to train their younger members and give them more chances to have real combat experience, but there was a problem if any of them were seriously injured, that was a big problem. Even though the compet.i.tion is tough and young people need to grow, many adults were reluctant to see their children and grandchildren get hurt. This caused some clans to have trouble training their youth generation.

While some clans had this problem, other clans preferred to let the younger generation suffer hard to grow, they were trained from a young age in dangerous forests to learn how to survive. In today"s world, where society had rules, some clans still did this kind of hidden cruelty, they had their training sites. The basic education of the youth of these clans was given after the training session.


"I see ... It seems that you have more experience than meets the eye" Xie Xinyue commented after hearing Liu Xia"s words, she understood that Liu Xia could fight mages from levels above hers because of her experience. This was something that could only be learned in practice.

"The experiences I had are different from the experiences you had, you don"t have to worry about that kind of thing. Each has different experiences. Furthermore, I am not proud to go through the things that I went through. The only thing I am proud of is having a big family that took care of me, having a good teacher and being a good wife for my husband "Liu Xia commented a little on her experiences.

Her parents were very good to her, despite having some problems in the World of Rulers, not to mention her in-laws who were also great. Her teacher was one of the greatest mages in the World of Rulers. And the experiences she had as Liu Yang"s wife were wonderful that she would never forget.

"I see ..." Xie Xinyue understood that Liu Xia has experienced a lot in her life, things that Xia Xinyue did not even imagine that a child could experience.

"What are you going to do after the compet.i.tion?" This time it was Liu Yang who asked.

"I"m going to go home and talk to my parents about the wedding arrangement. As you have not refused this matter, they will be happy with it, but I think there will be some problems with the other members of the clan. They strongly refuse this agreement, even if it was done more than fifteen years ago "Xie Xinyue responded by talking about what she will do next.

"I see ... This is something normal to happen, as I am someone from a common background, I already imagined it" Liu Yang replied casually.

"Common background? Liu Yang, do you think you can deceive others by saying that? If you come from a common background, I am also from a common background" Xie Xinyue commented on Liu Yang"s words, she knew a few things about him.

"Did you search for information about me?" Liu Yang and Liu Xia were curious about the words of Xie Xinyue, both were curious to know more about their parents.

"Liu Yang, are you making a fool of yourself?" Xie Xinyue asked she was wondering if Liu Yang was an idiot for asking such a question.

"I"m serious, I"m also curious to know more about my parents" Liu Yang spoke with a serious tone, he was really curious about his parents, they never told him anything, but they always showed that they belonged to some group extremely powerful, although they look common on the surface.

"..." Xie Xinyue was silent after hearing Liu Yang"s words, she was surprised to realize how serious Liu Yang was on this subject.

"Liu Yang, do you not know your parents" background?"

"No"

"Is that you?"

Liu Xia did not answer, she just shrugged her shoulders and did not answer the question.

"Honey ..." Liu Yang was surprised to see that Liu Xia knew information about his parents.

"Honey, I apologize for that, but… Uncle and aunt asked to keep it a secret from you. I didn"t want to hurt you for that. "Liu Xia spoke dejectedly.

After Liu Yang"s parents discovered Liu Xia"s ident.i.ty, they talked to her about various types of issues, one of which was about visiting the World of Rulers.

Liu Xia told the Liu couple that she was the princess of this world. The couple was not surprised by this discovery, they discovered it after a.n.a.lyzing some information. One such piece of information was Liu Xia"s blue hair, only members of the World of Rulers royal family had this type of hair.

At first, the couple thought that Liu Xia had a mutated water element, and that caused her hair to change color. But after a while, they realized that her hair was natural. Others tried to find out about it too but failed because they didn"t have the opportunity to get close enough to Liu Xia.

The story about the only and precious daughter of the rulers of the World of Rulers being missing was spread to the human world, the most powerful clans in the world had access to this information. They did their best to discover Liu Xia"s whereabouts in an attempt to win some favor or use it as a bargaining chip.

In the end, after a few years of searching, a certain country managed to discover a girl with blue hair living in the country. They tried to contact the Liu family to learn more about this subject, but it was in vain, none of them achieved anything.

The government of the country was irritated by this and tried to do things in a hidden way, but someone prevented it from happening. After several attempts, they had to stop in order not to suffer further losses. Only members of the great authorities knew about this.

"Okay, if my parents don"t want me to know about it, they must have their reasons." Liu Yang didn"t know why his parents hide their real background. As they didn"t speak, he didn"t ask them.

"Liu Yang, do you still want to know what I found out about them?" Xie Xinyue asked.

"Yes, but I think the information you found must be similar to the information of the older sister," Liu Yang thought about this possibility after discovering that Xiao Mei was unable to discover anything about his parents.

"What kind of information do you think I discovered?" Xie Xinyue was curious to know what Xiao Mei had discovered. She knew that Xiao Mei was a very important person to Liu Yang.

Liu Yang told the things Xiao Mei told him in the field of the wind element.

"I see ... It seems that it was no different from the information I received. Liu Yang, it looks like your parents are special people to be able to do that kind of thing. Not even my parents know the true background of uncle and aunt "Xie Xinyue was not surprised by the words spoken by Liu Yang.

If she, who was the daughter of the younger sister of the leader of the Xie Clan, could not find out anything about Liu Yang"s parents. Song Jia would have discovered less information than Xie Xinyue.

After discovering this information, Xie Xinyue"s parents strongly supported the marriage agreement between her and Liu Yang, but there were still some members of the clan who were afraid of this, they wanted to use Xie Xinyue to get some connection with some influential clan and powerful.

"The information is similar"

Xie Xinyue told what she discovered, the only difference between Xiao Mei"s information and Xie Xinyue"s information was the discovery of cultivation and the work of the Liu couple. She was shocked when she discovered that the Liu couple had a Mage King cultivation and both were explorers of ancient ruins. The country paid for both to explore ruins with exploration groups from various countries.

"Are my parents that strong?" Liu Yang was surprised to find that his parents were at the level of a Mage King. This proved that they were indeed formidable. Regarding the work of the Liu couple, Liu Yang already knew this, but he knew that they were international explorers who work with other international groups.

"Liu Yang, you know a lot of people are chasing you both, right?" Xie Xinyue spoke seriously.
