41: Education of love, break through S level!
“Can I see your Wind ArcaneProcedure?” Meng Yun asked Vivian.
Aside from the universalProcedure learned at the Arcane Association, every seasoned Arcanist would self-improve theirProcedure to perfectly suit themselves.
Meng Yun believed that Vivian, who possessed the ability to rival an Eighth-level Arcane Envoy, definitely had profoundProcedure that were difficult for ordinary people to comprehend.
But for Meng Yun, who had the Arcane Star entry, none of this was a problem.
“You can.” Vivian’s thoughts entered Meng Yun’s mind.
She didn’t ask Meng Yun why he wanted to see it, nor did she consider that theProcedure was the crystallization of her decades of effort.
It was simply because Meng Yun wanted to see it.
She could show it to him.
Profound and obscureProcedure appeared out of thin air in Meng Yun’s mind. The complexity was such that even the Foundation’s most advanced transistor computers might need to run continuously for three days and three nights to analyze it completely.
But Meng Yun was different.
The Arcane Star was like a high-speed operating machine.
In just an instant, Meng Yun had mastered thisProcedure, which was comparable to an Eighth-level one.
Hundreds ofProcedure branches were analyzed by him one by one. ExcludingProcedure above the Fifth-level, Meng Yun could now use dozens oftechnique.
Meng Yun had mastered almost all Wind Arcane.
“Levitation.” He instantly constructed theProcedure, activating Fourth-level Levitation.
A gentle breeze surged around Meng Yun, steadily and slowly lifting him into the air.
Vivian’s surprise was evident in her eyes.
With a thought, she too rose with the wind, following Meng Yun into the low sky.
Countless commoners and passersby looked up, showing reverence and fear towards the Arcanists.
Status and glory belonged entirely to the Arcanists.
“Vivian, listen to their thoughts and see if anyone stole my wallet.”
Meng Yun was in the low sky, overlooking the entire street. The rows of houses and the bustling crowds were all within his sight.
Vivian closed her eyes, and countless thoughts converged towards her.
“Tsk tsk, that young man spinning like an old bird is really damn exciting…”
“So hungry, so hungry, so hungry…”
“Have to go to work again, so annoying…”
“Tired, just destroy it all…”
Vivian’s brain was like the most powerful processor; hundreds of thoughts were instantly processed by her.
Vivian pursed her lips.
She didn’t like listening to these people’s thoughts—they were chaotic, full of hostility, and though alive, they were like corpses.
Unlike Meng Yun, her brother.
Both his thoughts and voice were gentle.
“With this money, my younger siblings will all be able to eat…”
Vivian opened her eyes, her gaze fixed on a young boy who was darting into an alley.
“Brother, I found him.”
An invisible storm gathered in Vivian’s hand. As long as Meng Yun gave the order, no matter where the boy hid, he would not escape death.
In her heart, stealing her brother’s favorite coins was already a death sentence.
Meng Yun looked over. His excellent eyesight allowed him to clearly see the boy’s fear and bewilderment.
“What is he thinking?” Meng Yun asked Vivian, determined to give him a chance.
Perhaps, on the way, he could give Vivian a lesson in love.
Something that could be solved with a beating didn’t need to involve killing.
“He’s thinking, with this money, his younger siblings will be able to eat…”
The thought echoed in Meng Yun’s ears, leaving him momentarily silent.
In every era, there are unfortunate people.
It’s not the fault of the people, but the sorrow of the era.
“Follow him.”
Meng Yun was the first to stir up a wind vortex, following the boy from a distance until he stopped at a shack in a dark alley.
The boy looked around, left and right, and feeling that no one was following him, he patted his face, forced a smile, and completely hid his fear and unease.
Knock knock.
His hand patted the iron door.
Creak.
The door opened, and a little girl with a chubby face poked her head out, looked around cautiously, then revealed a joyful smile.
“Big brother is back!”
Like a swallow returning to its nest, the little girl instantly threw herself into the boy’s arms. Immediately, two more little ones squeezed out, hugging the boy’s legs and shouting “brother” haphazardly.
“Brother, I’m hungry~”
The smallest little one, while hugging the boy’s leg, ate his fingers and acted spoiled.
The chubby little girl quickly chopped his head: “It’s okay, brother…”
Grumble grumble.
She saw that the boy’s hands were empty, naturally assuming he had gotten nothing, but her stomach also uncooperatively rumbled.
The little girl’s face flushed, and she lowered her head.
The hesitation on the boy’s face finally turned into determination.
He took out the heavy money bag from his pocket. At first glance, the unique symbol of the Mysterious Foundation made him dizzy.
Something bad was about to happen.
He had only seen the man walking with the girl, who seemed kind and completely unguarded, and that’s why he had a wicked thought.
Who would have thought.
With the last shred of hope, he opened the seal of the money bag.
Dozens of gleaming silver coins.
And judging by their color and texture, they were newly minted, fresh silver coins, likely belonging to a prominent figure of the Foundation.
His hope instantly turned to despair.
According to Foundation law, stealing an amount worth more than one silver coin would result in becoming a D-level Personnel and entering Foundation modification.
As a civilian of the Foundation’s Satellite City, he naturally knew exactly what modification meant.
Just going to die.
The boy fell silent.
“Brother, is it money?”
“It looks like so much money!”
“What is money? Can you eat it?”
The three children surrounded the boy, chattering excitedly, talking non-stop.
In their hearts, they were sure to have a sumptuous feast tonight.
The boy sniffed, and a smile spread across his face.
He stroked the heads of his three younger siblings one by one, smiling as he said, “Brother will go buy you something to eat right now. Wait for me at home, okay?”
“Mm!”
“Okay!”
After coaxing the three little ones into the house, the boy closed the door.
He had already made up his mind.
This money was enough for his younger siblings to live for one or two years.
Exchanging it for his own life was worth it.
With a smile on his lips, he turned and left.
But then, at the end of the alley, he saw two figures slowly approaching.
A man and a woman.
The man was meticulously dressed and had an extraordinary demeanor.
The girl was noble, elegant, and captivatingly aloof.
The boy felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
He couldn’t let these two find his home.
He couldn’t let them find his younger siblings.
So he turned and ran towards a hidden spot.
However, as he ran, he found his body becoming lighter and lighter, until his feet left the ground.
Carried by the wind, the boy was pulled in front of Meng Yun.
“Vivian, he stole my wallet. What do you think should be done?”
Meng Yun ignored the trembling boy, simply looking at Vivian with anticipation.
Meng Yun knew Vivian had no human emotions, so he was fully prepared for whatever her reaction might be.
Whether it was immediate execution or taking him back to the Foundation for disposal, Meng Yun had a ready set of excuses.
Anyway, Vivian would listen to him.
Vivian looked at the boy, observing his dirty, thin body, and an indescribable feeling flowed through her heart.
This dirty, humble boy, yet he raised his younger siblings to be fair, plump, and adorable.
Perhaps, this was the weight of being an older brother?
“Brother, let’s get the money bag back and give him some money.”
Vivian knew Meng Yun liked money, and now making such an excessive request for the boy, she felt a little uneasy inside.
Fearing Meng Yun would refuse, she actually spoke directly: “Brother, just… a little bit.”
The boy showed a shocked expression.
Meng Yun looked at Vivian, and the expression of having everything under control on his face instantly shattered.
He looked at Vivian in utter surprise, and after a brief moment of absent-mindedness, he revealed a relieved smile.
The lesson of love and compassion, it turned out Vivian never needed him to teach her.
It was never her fault that a kind girl became a deadly weapon.
Suddenly, Meng Yun felt a burst of golden light erupt from Vivian’s front.
At this moment, Vivian’s realm completely stabilized, truly stepping into S-level.
