Chapter 152
===================
It was almost nightfall when Lian Yun and his team finalized their plan. They arrived at the entrance of the third street and looked at the bustling crowd outside. They keenly noticed that many of them were looking around, trying to catch any clues with their eyes.
Even though they weren't wearing white robes, Iko still recognized them.
Ike's voice deepened: "Larry should have noticed that I didn't bring you to the association."
"It's probably going to be difficult to get out now."
They wanted to go to the underground street again to verify whether these puppets really had no independent consciousness. Only then could they make their next plan.
Then we must leave here under the eyes of these people.
These men in white robes had obviously guessed that they might come to Third Street and had already sent people to guard here.
Several people looked up at the sky which was gradually getting darker.
Night is the best cover.
Whether it is towards people or things.
In the hazy dusk, the strings of lights on the wall light up, and it’s not just the outside that’s bustling, but also Third Street.
At this time, many people were coming and going at the entrance of the street. They saw a large number of people in white robes standing abruptly in the crowd. Even though they were not dense, they were easily noticed because they were naturally disgusted with people in white robes and had even been expelled.
They passed by people they knew and exchanged knowing looks of disgust.
Lian Yun suddenly curled the corners of his lips.
I almost forgot where I was.
This is the Third Street, and there are more than just a few people who are hostile to the white-robed people.
Lian Yun whispered something to Lanna, who nodded and went back the way he came.
Yi Ke asked curiously, "What is this?"
Lian Yun directly extended his hand towards Alicia: "White robe."
Alicia didn't even ask and quickly handed several robes to Lian Yun.
Lian Yun pulled out a piece of clothing and threw it to Yi Ke: "Put it on."
"Now? I will be beaten to death if I put it on on Third Street, right?" Yi Ke was confused, but under Lian Yun's relentless gaze, he still walked to a deserted place and put on the white robe.
After putting it on, he didn't dare to come out. He quietly poked his head out, looked around, and waved desperately at the two of them.
Lian Yun came over seriously and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? It's not your turn yet."
Yi Ke was afraid that the people passing by would see her white robe, so she lowered her voice with embarrassment, "What the hell are you doing?"
Lian Yun stood calmly at the entrance of the alley, looking in the direction Lanner left without saying a word.
Finally, just before Yi Ke could no longer bear it, Lana came back with his men.
Lanna came up to Lian Yun and said, "Mrs. Madam said these guys are all familiar faces from Third Street."
He had originally gone to the restaurant lady to borrow someone according to Lian Yun's instructions. Lian Yun had also specifically instructed that the person should be "known by many people."
After saying that, Lana looked into the dim alley again, and unexpectedly met the eyes of Yi Ke, who had a gloomy face. The latter turned his face away instantly.
Lanna raised an eyebrow: "Ico doesn't seem very happy."
Yi Ke seemed to have heard something incredible: "Isn't it obvious enough?!"
Lana smiled slightly, showing an indifferent expression, and Yiko felt an itch in his teeth again.
"You have worn this white robe for many years, right? Why haven't I seen you look so disgusted with it today?" Lian Yun seemed to mention it deliberately.
Yi Ke was furious: "Then why don't you go out to Third Street and put on your cloak?"
"It's just the wrong timing!"
Lian Yun suddenly understood. "So, if the time is right, you will return to the Magician's Guild and put on the white robe you haven't worn for so long?"
Yi Ke slowly frowned.
"...You don't believe me?"
Lian Yun tilted his head and said nothing.
A feeling of powerlessness and uncontrollable anger rose in Yi Ke's heart. He clenched his fists, wanting to say something but unable to.
His current position does not allow him to vent his anger.
"Good!" Lian Yun clapped his hands, his eyes slightly curved, twinkling with starlight, "That's it, keep it up."
Ike was stunned.
Lian Yun smiled meaningfully and said, "Later, you will use this emotion to fight with the guys Lanner brought with you."
"Vent out all your anger and dissatisfaction, and at the same time, use your inner pride to restore yourself to your position as the Assistant to the Magician Guild President."
"If you were still in that position, what would you do?"
Yi Ke suddenly raised his head, and the surprise and struggle in his eyes had not been answered before he was pushed out by Lana.
The white robe was eye-catching. Yi Ke stumbled to the center of the entrance to the third street, instantly attracting the attention of the people around him.
Whether it was the people in the third street or the white-robed men outside with vigilant expressions.
Before Yi Ke could stand firm, he suddenly heard a loud shout from behind him - "It's him!"
What followed was a burst of hurried and chaotic footsteps. Yi Ke instantly thought of what Lian Yun had just said, and subconsciously turned around, pretending to be unsteady, and shot a fireball into the sky above the group of people behind him with his palm.
“!”
This fireball instantly lit up the sky and revealed his identity as a magician.
The fireball was quickly put out by the talented magician in the Third Street, but the public anger it aroused was not so easily dispelled.
"The people from the Magicians' Association actually dared to take action on Third Street!" It was one of the guys who shouted.
When everyone saw his face, they immediately recognized him as a waiter in the restaurant, and became more convinced of the authenticity of the farce.
They glared at the man who was still accumulating magic. The anger they had accumulated from being stared at by the white-robed men when they came and went at the entrance to Third Street burst out at this moment.
"Get out of Third Street!" everyone roared in unison.
"You guys—" Ico paused, rolled his eyes, and threw another fireball, "Foolish things! Sooner or later, Third Street will be razed to the ground by us!"
This sentence instantly ignited everyone, and they picked up the weapons at hand and rushed towards the man.
The man in white robe outside saw his companion being besieged and cursed the man in his heart for being crazy, but he had to help.
The white-robed men gathered against the flow of the crowd, occasionally raising their arms or wands to accumulate magical energy to intimidate the people on Third Street.
This move was seen by the other party as adding fuel to the fire.
"Great! The Magicians Association is declaring war on us!?" An angry shout was heard from the third street, followed by more responses.
"I've disliked them for a long time!"
"Look at the way they looked at us just now! Are the people of Third Street not human beings? Do they deserve to be discriminated against for so many years!?"
"If I don't teach them a lesson, they'll think magicians are invincible!"
After everyone had determined the white-robed man's guilt in a few words and given themselves a reason to take action, they were finally able to vent the resentment they had been holding for many years.
Not only those who had weapons in their hands, but even old men who picked up brooms from the street joined in the melee.
The man in white robe originally intended to scare them away, until a broom flew over and hit his face, and the dust was inhaled into his nose. The man in white robe became completely furious.
In a rage, the energy in his hand accidentally turned into a ball of flowing low-temperature gas and rushed towards the old man.
"Ah!" The old man's heart-wrenching cry instantly attracted the attention of those around him.
Everyone looked over nervously.
Lana put down the sword that had just blocked the cold air and turned around: "Are you okay?"
The old man covered his heart, shook his head, and pointed at the man in white robe who had just attacked him with a painful look on his face: "I'm fine, but he scared me."
As he said this, his white beard trembled and he fell backwards.
Someone quickly caught him from behind.
No matter what, the man in white robe took action!
"Bah!" The people around raised their weapons in indignation: "How shameless! They actually attacked an old man while staring at him!"
The man in white robes retracted his hand in bewilderment: "Yes, he was the first one to attack!"
Everyone looked at the broom that the old man dropped aside, and then looked at the remaining ice on Lanna's sword, their eyes becoming more dangerous.
"ah--"
The shouts of the man in white robe were quickly drowned out by the crowd. The rest of his companions heard it and began to retreat.
No, if this continues, it will really turn into a war between the magicians and the Third Street—
The people on the Third Street who had seized the rare opportunity were not going to let them go so easily. The people pouring out from the entrance quickly surrounded the man in white robes and slowly gathered around him.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Yi Ke crouched down, tore off his white robe, threw it aside, and went out.
Yi Ke stood up, smoothed his hair that was squeezed into a mess, looked around, and soon saw Lian Yun and others not far away.
Lian Yun calmly watched Yi Ke run towards him. He held his breath for a long time, then glanced at her dimly: "...This move is really dangerous."
Lian Yun shrugged: "Not bad."
Yi Ke: I mean I was in danger!
The girl looked back at the crowd that was fighting fiercely: "They won't have the upper hand, right?"
Lanna could answer this question: "Don't worry, sir. If they could defeat them, there would be no Third Street."
Yi Ke added: "They are not like me, who can take off their white robes at will."
This is the rule of the Magicians Association.
If they take it off, they will be punished when they return.
You have to choose between being beaten or being punished.
"I see someone has already chosen one." Lian Yun said with a smile.
Yi Ke followed her gaze and saw several people taking off their white robes and coming out.
"We have to leave quickly before more people from the Magicians' Association arrive." Yi Ke turned around.
Lian Yun nodded, turned and walked towards the auction house: "Let's go."
Yi Ke glanced at the girl's back with resentment, sighed helplessly, and quickly followed her.
