Chapter 98: Why Isn’t It Her

“Mom!”

Su Ling opened the door.

What met her eyes was Su Yao sitting slumped on the floor, holding her head while tears welled in her eyes.

Su Ling panicked immediately.

“What’s wrong?”

“I accidentally bumped my head just now…”

Su Yao said in a pitiful tone.

Su Ling rubbed Su Yao’s head and scolded her playfully, “Honestly, are you really that careless?”

“Hehe… Ling Ling, where did you go last night? That Luo Qianxue said you were with her, but, but you…”

Su Yao grabbed Su Ling’s wrist, and as she spoke, she looked like she was about to cry.

“It’s okay, it’s okay. See? I’ve returned, haven’t I?”

Su Ling pulled Su Yao into a hug.

The experience she had just had was simply too absurd.

That blurry white silhouette of light was definitely a big shot.

She just didn’t understand why that person would go through such great lengths to save her.

Not to mention, they even gave her a strange Magic Cube.

Su Ling looked at the cube in her palm, her eyes flickering.

She…

—

“That was a suspected Sequence Witch, so why was my report rejected?”

In the Dean’s Office.

Orphina was stunned when her assistant told her that her report had been sent back.

“I, it was from above…”

“Oh my, little Orphina is still as impatient as ever.”

A soft chuckle suddenly reached Orphina’s ears.

Orphina froze, then immediately composed herself.

“Ahem, I understand. You may leave.”

Orphina coughed and dismissed the assistant.

She was left alone in the room.

Immediately after, she caught that sweet scent of citrus she had been dreaming of.

“Teacher!”

On the sofa, a blonde girl was flipping through her collection of manga.

“Te, Teacher! That is…”

“Heehee, blonde teacher x black-haired student. Little Orphina, I remember you used to have black hair, didn’t you?”

The blonde girl tilted her head, looked at Orphina’s blonde hair, and teased her.

“I, I wanted to! I like blonde hair, so what!”

Orphina blushed and hurried to snatch the treasured manga away.

This was custom-made, and she had spent a fortune on it.

Seriously, Teacher really didn’t respect her privacy.

Orphina gave the blonde girl a resentful look.

“Haha, I just happened to see it, curiosity, you know~”

The other person even winked at her.

She couldn’t summon a shred of anger.

Her manga collection was protected by 100 layers of security, and each password calculation would consume the computing power of an entire star.

But she knew that in front of this person, these were nothing more than empty decorations.

The Sequence Witch, [Hope].

As long as she wanted, the probability of anything in this world could be 1.

“Teacher, why did you decide to visit me?”

The Hope of Light on her wrist seemed to sense something and became very excited.

[Hope] poked the Hope of Light on Orphina’s wrist.

“I just wanted to tell you that the Sequence Witch from this morning was me. Stop investigating.”

“Impossible!”

Orphina was categorical.

If it really were her teacher, she definitely would have felt it.

Well, her body would have felt it.

The tips of Orphina’s ears turned a shade of crimson.

“Oh my, just pretend it was me, please, little Orphina~”

This person had actually started acting like a spoiled child.

Those molten-gold eyes were filled with playfulness and spirit.

She simply couldn’t refuse.

“Fine… then at least tell me, is she friend or foe?”

“Hmm, about that… oh my, don’t worry, with me here, nothing will happen~”

So she was an enemy?

At least, she wasn’t a witch.

The answer was almost obvious.

Orphina took a deep breath.

She wanted to say something, but when she saw this person staring at her with those beautiful golden eyes, looking so pitiful, her doubts vanished in an instant.

“Alright, alright, I won’t investigate anymore.”

Although with her current strength, investigating further would have been useless anyway.

“I love little Orphina the most!”

The person cheered.

“By the way, Teacher, um, there’s a ball tonight, I was hoping…”

Having finally caught this person, Orphina certainly wouldn’t let this chance slip away.

She lowered her head, her face shy, her tone filled with expectation.

But when she looked up, she was the only person left in the room.

She pouted her little mouth in anger.

Playing dead again!

Really, she was already 230 years old, not a child anymore.

Why couldn’t she just consider her feelings for once?

Yes, she knew Teacher had a family, and that family was the most prestigious of the Witch Three Great Families.

But even though the Witch law stipulated one wife per person, for someone of the Teacher’s level, having a few extra wives was perfectly normal… right?

From what she knew, the Chief Justice of the Witch Court had thousands of wives.

Orphina sat in her chair, feeling restless.

She flipped through the manga on her desk, the one she had specially customized with so many security layers just to attract her teacher to read it.

She knew Teacher was curious, so she definitely would have looked.

The content of the manga was written so bluntly, why didn’t Teacher understand?

Just then, she turned to the last page and was ecstatic to find a sentence written there.

It was her teacher’s handwriting.

“Little Orphina, I understand your feelings, but it’s impossible. I have always thought of you as my daughter. Burn this manga quickly. If your mistress finds out, I will be in big trouble.”

Orphina completely misinterpreted the meaning of the words.

Teacher is hinting at me?

As long as I get rid of the mistress, Teacher will accept me?

Orphina’s heart hammered, and her delicate face was flushed with an unnatural shade of red.

That must be it!

—

Yunhai Peak.

Well, the Yunhai Peak no longer existed.

Looking at the bottomless crater before them, Bu Yao and her disciples fell into deep thought.

“Qianxue, are you sure you don’t remember anything?”

“Yes.”

Beside her was Luo Qianxue.

She looked confused at this moment.

Her last memory stopped at the moment she went to the maid cafe to bring Su Ling back.

There were no subsequent memories.

Of course, she couldn’t tell Bu Yao about the time she imprisoned Su Ling.

However, she had just tried sending a message to Su Ling, and the other party had replied quickly.

[Frost and Snow for a Thousand Years]: “Um, are you there?”

[I am truly a transmigrator]: “Not there.”

[Frost and Snow for a Thousand Years]: “……”

In other words, Su Ling had already escaped.

That was very intriguing.

She soon realized what had happened, but she chose to conceal everything.

This resulted in Bu Yao and the others believing that she had simply been in normal seclusion when a suspected Sequence Witch appeared, killed no one, and just erased the massive Yunhai Peak.

No, wait, is she crazy?

These were the thoughts of Bu Yao and the other disciples.

“By the way, Qianxue.”

“I’m here.”

Luo Qianxue’s spirit jolted.

She felt very guilty right now.

She had realized that all of this might be related to her.

Su Ling was also the prime suspect.

“Your Path of Heartlessness… is it broken?”

As soon as these words were spoken, the junior sisters were full of shock.

Especially Xia Anan at the side; looking at Luo Qianxue, her bright, sparkling eyes were filled with disbelief.

How is that possible?

That was her first thought.

Who was it?

Damn it, why didn’t she come to her?

Following that came a sense of immense loss and jealousy.
