“Haven’t found her yet?”
Qianxia looked at her assistant and asked.
For some reason, she felt that the fake one had ill intentions.
Su Ling had gone missing without a trace.
If something happened to her, Qianxia wouldn’t know how to explain.
“No, there are too few clues.”
The assistant, Biqi, listened to the report in her earphones and shook her head.
To find Su Ling, Qianxia had specially gathered everyone from her studio to search.
Qianxia’s face darkened.
She looked up at the sky.
“Don’t. The academy has rules.”
Biqi realized what Qianxia wanted to do and quickly stopped her.
Usually, when a Great Witch searched for a target, aside from special methods like the Sequence [Sword] witches’ Spiritual Sense, most would spread their own magic power like radar to detect the target.
But the problem was that a Great Witch’s magic power was too overbearing.
Even if an ordinary Witch just touched a single ripple of that magic, it could cause magic obstruction or even reverse flow.
In severe cases, it could trigger a Mana Tide resonance and make their body explode.
The academy’s monitoring of Great Witches was extremely strict.
There was no helping it—most students were ordinary Witches.
If the Great Witches didn’t restrain themselves, it could cause irreparable disaster.
Qianxia’s mind was in a mess.
After all, Su Ling had gone missing because of her.
She couldn’t just stand by and do nothing.
“Hello… you’re saying?”
Just then, Biqi touched her earphones, as if talking to someone.
Biqi looked at Qianxia.
“The Dean just called. She said we don’t need to handle this—the academy is intervening.”
“?”
Qianxia was full of confusion.
Things had far exceeded her expectations.
“Tch, a coincidence? Or…”
In the Dean’s Office.
Orphina hung up the phone and fell into thought.
She could have ignored Qianxia’s studio searching for Su Ling—after all, she was just a student.
Even though Su Ling was somewhat special.
But the problem was, she had learned that the one who abducted Su Ling could transform into anyone’s appearance, even replicating the unique scent of a Witch.
So she had to get involved.
The Miusong Zerg Princess’s talent, [All Beings], had an effect that allowed her to completely transform into anyone’s appearance, making it impossible even for Great Witches to tell them apart.
Speaking of this princess, Orphina knew that she was extremely important to the Miusong Zerg.
Entirely because of that talent.
[All Beings] wasn’t just the ability to transform into others.
There were also some special abilities that the Miusong Zerg had kept hidden.
Orphina knew that the Miusong Zerg’s intentions were not simple.
But all their secret maneuvers seemed to revolve around that princess.
That left her somewhat puzzled.
What ability was so crucial that the Zerg couldn’t carry out their plans without the princess?
Orphina tapped her fingers lightly on the desk.
The tapping stopped abruptly.
The answer was simple—just go ask someone in the know, wasn’t it?
A slight smile curled at Orphina’s lips.
In the Classical Office.
Mrs. Thatcher looked at the report from her subordinates, her brows furrowed.
Still no news at all.
The [All Beings] ability was too broken.
Searching for them in the Witch Academy was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
“Seems like we have no leads, right?”
Just then, a voice rang out.
Thatcher was startled.
Seeing it was Orphina, she felt a surge of inexplicable anger.
Why did she always appear out of nowhere?
And wasn’t there an academy rule that Great Witches weren’t allowed to tear space?
Well, the other party was the Dean.
The principles were in her hands.
So it was fine.
“Haha, the Dean honors us with her presence. I haven’t even had time to—”
“What exactly is the ability of [All Beings]?”
Orphina stared intently at Thatcher’s eyes.
Thatcher’s expression instantly froze.
“Didn’t we already say? It’s transforming into others’ appearances.”
“Not enough. There’s more.”
Orphina was pressing aggressively.
“I don’t care about your secret maneuvers, but I need to confirm whether you pose any threat to us.”
The reason they cooperated with the Miusong was entirely to deal with the Tyranid Swarm.
But contrary to Orphina’s expectations, Thatcher instead let out a sigh of relief.
“Relax, we won’t pose any threat to you.”
Thatcher’s expression was somewhat complicated now.
On the contrary, for the sake of that plan, she was about to lose her most precious thing.
But for the sake of her race, she had to do this.
Orphina narrowed her eyes.
She wasn’t lying.
That made it even more interesting.
What exactly was this weak Zerg race plotting?
Still, she knew when to stop.
After all, Thatcher was that person’s wife.
Pushing her too hard wouldn’t do Orphina any good.
“Clan Leader! We found a lead on the young lady!”
At that moment, a subordinate reported.
Orphina and Thatcher looked at each other.
Awkward.
—
“Found her?”
When Biqi said they found her, Qianxia was both surprised and delighted.
“Not sure. Xiao Chen saw her returning home near Su Ling’s rented place. We don’t know if it’s the fake one or the real Su Ling.”
Biqi sent Qianxia a video.
In the video, it was exactly the scene of Su Ling going upstairs.
But just based on one video, Qianxia still couldn’t tell whether it was the real Su Ling or a fake.
Still, at least there was a lead.
“Let’s go. At least we’ll corner that person first.”
Qianxia stood up.
But Biqi hesitated.
“But the Dean said they’re handling this…”
“No conflict. Today is our date day. Me going to find her doesn’t break any rules.”
Qianxia waved her hand.
“Oh right, did you buy the small tricycle?”
She had gotten addicted to riding the small tricycle these past few days—fast speed, few rules.
It was practically the dream vehicle of the academy.
So she had asked Biqi to buy one for commuting too.
“Oh, no need to go through that trouble. I found a full-time driver. Paying twenty thousand Mani per month, specifically for our studio’s transportation. She’s waiting at the door.”
Biqi pointed at the door.
Qianxia looked at Tao Tao sitting in the small tricycle and fell into thought.
Tao Tao also looked back at her somewhat guiltily.
She hadn’t wanted to take this job originally.
But twenty thousand a month!
Only a fool would refuse.
“Alright, alright, let’s set off quickly.”
Qianxia got into the small tricycle and urged.
When Tao Tao saw the address, she looked puzzled.
What the hell? Going straight to their home?
—
“Yo, finally back?”
On the balcony, Dalian was sunbathing.
Just then, a palm-sized doll flew silently in through the window.
It was G502.
Inside the house, Su Yao and Suzuki were playing games together.
Bored, Suzuki had dragged Su Yao into gaming.
Now Suzuki was constantly pressuring Su Yao, making her apologize repeatedly.
“I had to avoid some searches. It wasted a bit of time.”
G502 climbed onto Dalian’s back and sighed in relief.
Dalian raised his head slightly, then lowered it again.
But she herself didn’t notice that she also let out a sigh of relief.
“By the way, where did the m… mistress go?”
G502 glanced inside the house and saw no sign of Su Ling.
“I heard Su Ling won a prize and went on a date with the Oiran of the Witch’s Hut. She probably won’t be back until tomorrow.”
Dalian looked envious.
What luck with the ladies—unmatched.
But as soon as the words left her mouth, the door opened.
Everyone’s gaze turned to the door.
There stood a girl with white hair and cherry-pink eyes.
“I’m home~”
