Su Ling’s mind went blank.
Although she had been thinking about Ji Lingyuan quite a bit before, now that they were actually meeting again, Su Ling was also at a loss.
For a moment, the moments between the two in the Lower City played back in her mind like a slideshow.
And Ji Lingyuan’s mind was also buzzing.
How is she here?
And… she seemed even more beautiful?
Ji Lingyuan looked at Su Ling’s heterochromatic eyes and the white hair that faintly showed a bit of blood-red, and for a moment, she couldn’t help swallowing her saliva.
The Su Ling before her seemed to have changed, somewhat unfamiliar.
But for some reason, to Ji Lingyuan, the current Su Ling was even more alluring than before.
Jian Yan, who was on the side, saw Su Ling, first was stunned, then couldn’t help turning up the corners of her mouth.
She knew all the reasons and also knew the relationship between these two.
She just didn’t expect that this junior was so skilled; before it was Luo Ganxue, and now she’s hooked up with another.
Su Ling had come together with Yan Lin, and when she opened the door, Su Ling was holding Yan Lin’s wrist, their behavior quite intimate.
Ji Lingyuan also came back to her senses at this moment, and she silently shifted her gaze from Su Ling to Yan Lin.
At this time, Yan Lin’s fiery eyes also looked at her.
For a moment, their gazes clashed.
Yan Lin, who was usually somewhat insecure, now looking at Ji Lingyuan, actually felt a surge of hostility.
Although she was very innocent, she was also very sensitive.
She took in the synchronized surprised expressions of Su Ling and Ji Lingyuan, and understood in her heart that the relationship between these two seemed not simple.
Thinking of this, Yan Lin felt a wave of irritation.
So much so that when Ji Lingyuan looked at her with a scrutinizing gaze, she inexplicably flashed a hint of aggression.
A flash of surprise appeared in Ji Lingyuan’s eyes, but soon, a burst of anger erupted in her heart.
The Original above, was this girl provoking her?
Clearly, she was the one who came first!
The interaction and probing among the three lasted only for a moment.
Besides Jian Yan taking it all in and waiting to watch the show, there was also another person who saw everything. That noble girl.
“This is your younger sister, Yan Lin?”
The noble girl spoke, her dazzling golden hair as eye-catching as gold.
Hearing this, Yan Lin also shifted her gaze to the noble girl.
When she saw the girl’s face, which actually bore some resemblance to Se Lin, her pupils shrank.
Generally speaking, a witch looks nine parts similar to the mother who gave birth to her, like Su Ling and Su Yao.
As for the “mother” (娘亲), it depends on probability; it’s possible they don’t look alike at all, since the mother only provides the other half of the genes, like Bai Miao and Su Yao.
If lucky, there might be some resemblance.
In such cases, the “mother” usually dotes on the daughter who resembles her a bit, even more than the birth mother.
There’s a popular saying among witches: “A diamond that looks like glass is very valuable, but you must never be real glass.”
“It’s… that Miss Nuowa, my sister should not be…”
The older sister, Yan Li, sat on the hospital bed, nervously clenching her small hands.
Nuowa was Se Lin’s mother, and she doted on her daughter Se Lin very much.
When she heard that Se Lin was in trouble, she directly canceled a deal worth an entire star system and came to the Witch Academy in person.
She fished out those two idiots locked up on Ice Fiend Peak, then went to Orphina to demand an explanation.
After all, the Witch Academy was in the wrong, so Orphina had no choice but to agree to seal off the Witch Academy for three days and do her best to assist in catching the culprit.
Although the Student Council had already locked down one suspect, Long Ying.
But Nuowa quickly noticed something was off.
Motive.
Long Ying had no motive at all; that girl didn’t even know Se Lin, not a shred of motive.
But that Soaring Dragon of the Firmament at the scene couldn’t be explained away.
Among witches, although some magic is learned by many, due to differences in each witch’s magic power, the form and manifestation of the spells they use will also differ.
In other words, the magic each witch performs is, in a sense, unique.
Those two idiots also said that the Soaring Dragon of the Firmament used by Long Ying when she escaped was exactly the same as what they encountered that night.
So one of them was almost confirmed.
But the other one, the real culprit?
Nuowa personally reviewed the files and keenly locked onto a suspect.
Yan Lin.
Se Lin had a grudge with her; Se Lin had rammed Yan Li into severe injury, so Yan Lin had a clear motive.
And the timing was also very close.
Yan Lin was also from Yan Academy, a Transcendent Witch, matching the description from those two idiots.
Most importantly, after some investigation, they found that last night, no one around Yan Lin had seen her.
The last place Yan Lin appeared was at the Witch’s Hut.
The manager of that Witch’s Hut, Tian Tian and the others, had just questioned this morning and had confirmed it.
So now, Yan Lin was highly suspicious.
They found Yan Li, first to understand the situation, and second to wait for the rabbit to come to them.
“We are just making reasonable suspicions, Yan Li. I need to first ask where your sister was last night.”
Nuowa shook her head, cutting off Yan Li.
At this moment, Su Ling’s scalp suddenly went numb.
She felt a faint but powerful aura sweeping over herself and Yan Lin.
Great Witch!
Cold sweat broke out on her back.
There was a Great Witch in the shadows watching them!
Nuowa stood up, slowly walking in front of Su Ling and Yan Lin. Her golden pupils showed neither sorrow nor joy, only scrutiny.
“You’re Yan Lin, right? I am Se Lin’s mother. I am very sorry for what my daughter did, and I will compensate you well. However, I have a question I’d like to ask you.”
Yan Lin looked at Nuowa, a flash of hatred in her eyes.
A single word of compensation to wipe away what Se Lin did? And even lightly putting Se Lin in the position of the victim? A few words, and she displayed the tongue of a merchant to the fullest.
“Last night, where were you? With whom? What were you doing?”
Pressure, endless pressure. Yan Lin felt as if a great mountain was pressing down on her. She lowered her head, her body trembling violently.
“That, that… she was with me last night.”
At this moment, a voice was like a beam of light piercing the darkness, allowing Yan Lin to see a glimmer of hope. Su Ling stood in front of Yan Lin, scratched her head, her small face slightly red.
“Well, yesterday, Miss Yan Lin came to the Witch’s Hut, and then, then… ah, you know.”
Su Ling looked shy.
Ji Lingyuan was struck by lightning, her small face darkened. Meanwhile, Jian Yan on the side looked like she was enjoying the show.
In the corner, there was also a little loli. Minister of Justice, Qianqiu.
“Oh?”
Nuowa raised an eyebrow, only then shifting her gaze to Su Ling.
Seeing Su Ling’s appearance, a flicker of admiration also appeared in her eyes.
But it was only a fleeting moment.
She had seen all kinds of women, and the ones she had slept with were countless.
Unfortunately, due to her magic activity being somewhat low, despite having many wives, she only had one daughter, Se Lin.
And Se Lin actually bore some resemblance to her, which made her dote on Se Lin even more.
Now that Se Lin was dead, although nothing showed on the surface, inside, she had long been filled with murderous intent.
“Don’t speak in such ambiguous terms. Tell me, last night, what exactly were you doing?”
Nuowa ignored Su Ling’s playful smile and stared at Su Ling intently, like a queen.
And Su Ling’s smile gradually faded.
She also stared into Nuowa’s golden pupils.
She was actually unafraid.
“Last night, Yan Lin and I got a room and slept together.”
