Chapter 35: The Meeting That Changed The Timeline

In a small house with two floors not far from the academy, the lady of the house, a woman in her fifties with drowsy eyes and a little closed, was preparing a special dinner and was very happy. Two of her tenants passed the exam, which means she won the bet.

Every year the citizens of White Nights City rent their rooms to the participants, and they also bet on them. At first, the lady was hesitant to take part in the bet, but the white-haired, who seemed weak compared to his peers, convinced her to bet on him and his friend, and since the young man liked her cook and eats everything she put in front of him, she fulfilled his request, according to her own rule.

(Young people who eat well and have the tact to say thank you are trustworthy))

*knock-knock*

Someone knocked on the door. The house lady answered from the inside, "The door is open. You can enter."

"Excuse me, madam, is Mister Tai Jin staying here?"

A beautiful girl with long black hair asked the homeowner politely, who replied with a smile. "Another girl, this Jin is not a simple person. You can wait with the rest of the girls. Dinner will be ready soon."

"The rest of the girls...?"

The girl was amazed and turned toward where the house lady was pointing to find two girls sitting at the dining table, one of them was a beautiful girl with blue hair, and the other was wearing pants and a coat with a cap covering her face.

"Excuse me, madam, but I'm busy, can you..."

*shhh*

The blue-haired girl jumped up from her seat and signaled to the black-haired woman to stop talking, but it seemed that it was too late, the house lady started to speak in a threatening tone, but the most frightening thing than her tone was her previously closed eyes, which she had opened, they were light blue color and radiating a chilling threat.

"Did you just reject my invitation to dinner? Listen, skinny one. No one dares to refuse my food. I said go and sit there."

The girl shuddered, her body moved involuntarily per the lady's order, to be greeted by Han Seol with a sigh, meaning that moments ago, she had been in the same situation, while Lian let out a chuckle at them.

The black-haired girl was none other than Li Chui, the beginner magician who had summoned Jin from the future.

"Excuse me, madam, do you..."

A blonde woman in her twenties, wearing glasses, found the door open, so she entered. But before she could finish her words, the house lady greeted her with a wide smile as she checked her from the bottom up.

"Jin, you silly boy, she's the fourth girl... she's even older, oh it's nice to be young."

The lady's tone and hints were obvious, causing embarrassment for the girls, but the blonde lady was the most embarrassed. She remembered her embarrassing moment with Jin this morning when she mistakenly thought he was flirting with her, to explode, "I... I'm an elder at the academy, and I'm here in an official visit."

"Yes, yes, you are...Wait with the rest of the girls. Dinner will be ready soon."

The lady nodded her head and winked in Zi Yun's direction, which only increased her embarrassment, but in the end, she sighed and adjusted her glasses, ignoring the lady's hints.

"No need for dinner. I'll be back in..."

*shhh*

*shhh*

Han Seol and Li Chui signaled her to be silent as she stared at them in confusion before a chilling cold wave swept over her. "How dare you refuse my invitation to dinner?"

"Of course no one dares. Only a fool misses the opportunity to dine by the most beautiful and best cook in the kingdom."

At this moment, Jin and Du Bai walked into the house, staring at the girls who filled the house while the house lady hugged Jin happily, laughing.

"You sweet talker, no wonder all these girls are here looking for you, and you, you brown idiot, why don't you learn a thing or two from your friend, If you stay like this, you won't have a girlfriend for the rest of your life."

Her words angered Du Bai, who pointed at Jin with his finger as he stared at the black-haired woman and said. "This is a new girl I've never seen before, this bastard, every time he's out of my sight, a new girl appears, and he refuses to help me get a girlfriend while he's dating four."

The girls screamed at the same time as they heard Du Bai's words.

"It's not like that."

*Smack*

Zi Yun slapped Du Bai's head, shouting at him, "Four? Did you count me with them? Idiot, I'm an elder at the academy. How dare you."

"I was talking about another girl with short black hair who took the test with Jin, not about you."

Du Bai was referring to the assassin who was disguised as a young girl, but Jin hadn't told him that he had killed her.

"It's okay then. I have nothing to do with his girlfriends there."

Zi Yun said her words, but the looks of the two girls, Han Seol and Li Chui in the corner, who were staring at her in anger, made her stop talking and look away from them, while Lian was still trying to hold her laugh at the situation.

Faced with this situation, Jin had no choice but to sigh before explaining the situation to everyone, removing the misunderstanding.

"There is a business between the ladies here and me, so don't get it wrong, but first, we have to celebrate our success."

Jin stared at the girls and added,

"What's wrong with you? It's party time. Why aren't you helping the house lady? Come on quickly, set up the table. Du Bai and I will get the drinks."

A wide smile appeared on the house lady's face, and she began to say, "This is beautiful. I feel like a mother whose son came to visit her with his wives."

"Stop talking about this."

The two girls screamed at the house lady while Lian couldn't hold back her laughter anymore. "Ha ha ha, that's so funny. I've never been happy like this before. I love you all."

---------------------------------------

A small celebration in a warm house, nothing in it is strange or out of the ordinary, a beautiful moment that was supposed to become a drop in the past to flow into the endless river of time, But it was not a fleeting moment nor an ordinary drop in the river of time.

For the third time, in the inadvertence of everyone, the talisman with the bird inscription shone in a golden color inside Jin's ring. And the small drop in the river of time formed a new beginning, that moment when the talisman shone was the moment the timeline changed.

The future has changed, and some powers have realized that.

Far away in the Palace of the Floating Islands Kingdom, a woman in a black cloak crazily screamed before running towards her king.

"My lord, something supposedly impossible has happened... My lord, I can't see it anymore, I can't see the future, I'm the only great magician who can foresee, unable to see the future... It has been rewritten. A new future has been formed.

A man of majestic presence stood. His aura overflowing with strength made the most powerful of men bow their heads in respect, he asked in a voice that shook all over the place and echoed in the palace.

"What is the meaning of this?, What is the power that has appeared that caused the future to change? Is it a legendary beast, a heavenly warrior, a holy magician… Who changed the course of time?"

The magician answered, her eyes filled with confusion, not knowing what to say. "None of this, until now there is no trace of any new superpower... However, the future has changed, and we cannot know why."

The king hit the floor with his foot, causing it to crack, and screamed again. "I don't care if the time has changed or ceased to exist. What matters to me is that girl and only her... Will she be my woman as planned, yes or no?"

"I can't say for sure, my lord, I can't see the future anymore," said the girl, wiping the sweat from her forehead.

It all began in this small house with this group of six that didn't even plan for this meeting, the fate of these young men and women was bound to change the course of history, but this is a story that will be told in another day.
