Chapter 411: Aofeiya

The next day, the closing ceremony of the All Souls' Day Labyrinth Trial was held in dead silence.

The location was still the snow-covered high platform before the trial began, but the atmosphere at the scene was completely different, without any feeling of celebration, instead looking like a funeral.

Those magic flags that once symbolized celebration and glory hung powerlessly under the lead-gray sky. The cold wind rolled up snow foam, whipping every young and dazed face, making it hard to taste the flavor of this.

Professor Heketuo Lei'en replaced Master Moke, who was still under investigation, and presided over this sloppily concluded ceremony.

He wore a meticulous master's robe, his expression more serious than usual, his sharp eyes sweeping across the nearly three thousand apprentices below the stage, his gaze carrying complex emotions—disappointment, heartache, but more of a heavy and exhausted feeling that was being suppressed.

"This year's All Souls' Day trial... is over."

His voice was not high, but it clearly pierced through the wind and snow, echoing in everyone's ears.

"As you have witnessed, this was not a trial, but a disaster."

He did not use any flowery language to whitewash the peace, nor did he treat the funeral as a celebration, but directly pronounced the verdict for this disaster.

Even if this was not the task Bofeili Sage had entrusted to him.

But he still couldn't go against his conscience to do something that made him unhappy.

Regretting it later, we'll talk about it later.

Anyway, the position of Sage wouldn't fall to him no matter what, the Great Sage wouldn't even look at him, but a stinky brat from the Shengcheng teased him all day long.

"... Its source began with the inflated ambition and desire in our hearts, finally brewing into a despicable betrayal, leaving an opportunity for the evil spirits of Chaos. I cannot repent for Professor Alisite's crimes on his behalf, but I want to apologize for the Academy's failure to protect you."

Pausing, he closed his eyes and sighed.

"We should feel ashamed."

A suppressed commotion arose below the stage, and whispers spread through the crowd. Many apprentices who only knew a little about the truth showed shocked expressions on their faces.

Sage of Life Feili'an's face remained calm, as an elf, he didn't care about human worldly affairs, and also agreed with Professor Heketuo's statement.

As for Sage of Law Bofeili, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, although his expression was displeased, he didn't break out on the spot.

The ceremony was still going on.

Wait until later to deal with this old thing who spoke nonsense.

"Did we misunderstand Professor Heketuo..." In the crowd, Fin'en said in a low voice, "Although the seniors all said don't choose his class, I always feel... he doesn't seem bad?"

"Does this need feeling?" Standing right next to this young man, Sikaiyin, who was responsible for the preparatory student work, said expressionlessly, " 'Don't choose his class' and 'is he a good person' are two different things. Just like Professor Alisite is not a good person, but didn't you guys like him quite a bit?"

Fin'en was stunned.

Seems... really?

His impression of Professor Alisite was indeed good, even until now he dared not imagine that this approachable gentleman had actually sold his soul to the evil spirits of Chaos.

But he didn't understand.

"Why?"

Why?

There are many reasons for that.

Sikaiyin's mouth curled into a playful and complex smile. After thinking for a moment, he picked the most insignificant yet most intuitive reason.

"Because he would turn your death into a celebration."

As for the honest Professor Heketuo, this poor good man had to bear the consequences he didn't deserve for things he hadn't done at all.

"One thing at a time", the villain who accidentally swapped the Prince's test paper is Miluosi, how can you represent the Academy to admit mistakes?

Fortunately, the Prince is a generous and sensible person.

If that Highness insisted on making a big deal out of it to the end, and that old guy couldn't give the Highness a satisfactory explanation at all, then his end would almost certainly be rolling out of the Mage Tower in disgrace.

Admissions were ultimately his responsibility, and Miluosi's "upline" was himself, and he was a student under Heketuo.

Dear Professor Heketuo didn't even realize how merciful and magnanimous that Highness was to him.

Fin'en was stunned, lowered his head, and remained silent for a long time, seemingly lost in thought.

This Labyrinth Trial had a great impact on the magic apprentices of the Academy, even if not every apprentice had the opportunity to participate in it.

Finally finishing the heavy content, Heketuo paused slightly, his gaze sweeping over the magic apprentices before him one by one.

He switched to a gentle tone and continued.

"But, I also saw another thing."

"In the face of real danger, you did not collapse, did not give up, you showed the courage and resilience that a mage should truly have! Our bodies may not be as strong as warriors, but our spirits are incomparably resilient! And you, proved this with your actions!"

"Even in the darkest of times, the light of knowledge and unity has never been extinguished! From this perspective, all of you have passed this trial."

These words made many apprentices subconsciously straighten their chests, the daze in their eyes replaced by a faint light.

"According to the resolution of the Sage Council!" Heketuo's voice became serious again, "The champion of this trial will be awarded to the warriors who destroyed the Chaos-polluted core in the deepest part of the Labyrinth and ended the source of the disaster! Aofeiya Kastelion, Ilana Aotawiya, Bei'en, Hade... Congratulations to you, although as an elder, I hope you don't do such dangerous things again!"

Enthusiastic applause resounded on the snowfield, and admiring looks were cast at the four people standing in the front row of the crowd, just like looking up at heroes.

This time, even the strict Sage Bofeili softened the seriousness on his face, sending symbolic applause to these young people.

If Prince Kelin hadn't exaggerated their contribution, then they really had to thank them for their performance in the Labyrinth, at least not letting the situation worsen to a worse situation.

After all, if Alisite were really allowed to break through to Amethyst Tier as a Chosen of Chaos, I'm afraid only the Great Sage who was on a business trip at the Huang Tong Pass could deal with this guy...

Aofeiya and Ilana looked at each other, seeing only the heaviness and relief of surviving the disaster in each other's eyes, but not much joy of victory and winning honors.

Bei'en and Hade were the same.

Although they were glowing with health and proud of their bravery, if they were given another choice, they would rather this just be an ordinary trial.

Under the protection of the professors, they experienced the life of an adventurer once, and then returned to the Mage Tower with rich spoils and certificates, continuing their academic daily life.

Fame and fortune are things written in books or newspapers, only the life before them truly belongs to themselves.

The applause paused.

Awarding the honor of victory to the four young people who came forward one after another, Heketuo cleared his throat and continued to speak.

"At the same time, the Council decided to give special awards to apprentices who stood up in times of danger and protected their companions."

"They will receive a ribbon of courage issued by the Source Law School, and a golden wand symbolizing honor and knowledge."

Heketuo cleared his throat and began to read the names of these brave people, and those whose names were read went up to the stage one by one to receive the awards.

Among them were apprentices and teaching assistants, the powerful were only Silver Tier, and the weak had just mastered the most basic magic.

But these were not the most important.

What was important was that these shining souls did not let down those who gave them power. At least in that one minute when a choice had to be made, they chose to become heroes.

"Kuer Si."

Hearing his name, Kuer Si felt his face burning, his steps to receive the award were a bit hasty, always feeling that there were many gazes in the crowd that carried smiles.

Ever since he came out of the Labyrinth yesterday, the title of Bare-Butt Hero had spread throughout the circle of preparatory students, and now he was completely famous.

Not because he dared to praise or criticize Kelin, but because of the true courage deep in his heart.

Heketuo's gaze seemed to linger on him for an extra second, Ilana seemed to be the same, and perhaps everything was just his illusion.

He suddenly realized that this didn't matter at all.

When he returned to the crowd, it wasn't just his own feeling, even junior Fin'en, who had always been close to him, felt that he had become different from yesterday...

After completing the awarding of all honors, this elderly professor used a gentle and calm tone to draw the final period for this blood-colored celebration.

"The All Souls' Day celebration ends here, my young children, return to your Mage Towers, return to your libraries and laboratories... continue your studies, and your exploration of truth, do not deviate from the happy life you should have had because of the bewitchment in the void."

"The scars left by this disaster need us to heal with more diligent study and firmer will. I believe that a new day is still beautiful."

He held the long staff in his hand and tapped it twice on the ground, and fireworks prepared to liven up the atmosphere bloomed in the sky.

The sound of drums and music rose, sending off the magic apprentices who were leaving one after another, and also sending off the cold winter that had stopped on the northern wilderness.

After All Souls' Day is spring.

But everyone familiar with this wilderness knew that the snow covering the mountains and plains would probably not melt until the summer solstice...

Seven days later, in the morning, Kelin Tower, in the Magic Science Laboratory.

The afternoon sunlight passed through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, casting mottled light and shadows between the bookshelves and experimental tables. The air was filled with the ink fragrance of old books and a faint tea fragrance, quiet and peaceful.

Luo Yan was leaning on a lounge chair by the window, leisurely flipping through a book on ancient runes, as if the earth-shaking disaster a week ago was just an old news story unrelated to him.

The "Sage of Life" didn't fool him, the Academy didn't restrict his activities because of the investigation into Chaos pollution, just asked him a few questions about Alisite.

Including whether there was any personal grudge between them, and how they met in the Labyrinth, etc...

These things didn't need to be modified, he basically said what he had, except for the part about the "Butterfly of All Phenomena" which was adjusted.

Now the investigation had ended, and the truth had surfaced.

He didn't need to be alone to avoid suspicion anymore, and finally could return to the identity of Master Kelin, continuing to enjoy the remaining leisurely daily life.

Just then, a hesitant sound of footsteps came from not far away.

Luo Yan looked up and saw Ilana standing before his desk.

That face, which was always calm and composed on weekdays, was now full of rare frustration. She held a stack of thick manuscript paper in her arms, looking as listless as an eggplant hit by frost.

"Master..." Ilana's voice was a bit low, "My... my paper submitted to the 'Sage Newspaper' was returned."

Luo Yan was not surprised at all by such a result. From the moment he encouraged Ilana to submit, he had guessed this result.

He was rather surprised that she could walk out of the "blow" of a friend's betrayal so quickly and devote herself to academic research.

Of course, maybe she was escaping the troubles in reality.

"Sit down first."

Putting down the book, Luo Yan signaled her to sit on the chair beside, then gently waved his magic wand and poured her a cup of tea.

This was Heketuo's treasured "Quiet Snow Bud". He drank it last time and felt it was good, so he let Professor Heketuo "share" some with him.

Looking at the resources tilted by the Void Asset Restructuring Committee, although the old man got angrier the more he thought about it, he ultimately endured it.

Looking at Ilana, who was holding the teacup and drinking in small sips, Luo Yan asked gently.

"What did they say?"

Ilana put down the teacup, bit her lip, and finally repeated the review comments word for word: "They said... 'The theory is too complicated and lacks practical application value', and also said... 'Suggest I focus on completing the preparatory student studies first'."

This almost completely denied her hard work for several months, and completely denied Prince Kelin's encouragement and cultivation of her.

To be honest.

If it were only the former, it wouldn't be enough to discourage her, but thinking of the Prince's help and guidance all along, she really didn't know how to report this matter to him.

Luo Yan thought for a moment and said.

"The reviewer's opinion is not decent enough, I will write a letter to protest this matter."

Ilana shook her head.

"No, Master, what I care about is not this, but..."

"But our results were not recognized, right?"

Looking at Ilana, who nodded gently, Luo Yan smiled, returned the manuscript paper to her, and continued in a gentle tone.

"Ilana, I once told you, 'Science' is a tool to explore truth, but this does not mean we must stuff it into the hands of those who are unwilling to accept it. That is not academia, but authority."

"And historical experience also tells us this, not all great results can gain everyone's recognition from the beginning, we need to give the children of the 'Sage Newspaper' some time to accept it."

This playful statement made Ilana slightly stunned, then she burst into laughter, and the dark clouds on her brow melted quietly like snow under the eaves.

Although she soon realized her impoliteness, she buried her head with a red face, and hurriedly and softly said "Sorry".

Luo Yan waved his hand with a smile, signaling her not to care, and then continued.

"Keep working hard, be yourself. I will help you submit this manuscript to the 'Science Newspaper', that is a newspaper I have been preparing recently, although it is unknown, I believe it will one day shine because of your name."

These words were like a gentle warm current, pouring into Ilana's heart, and also into those gradually brightening eyes.

Actually, there are not many things these young people crave.

Most of the magic apprentices standing here only crave a word of recognition.

On the first day he arrived at the Academy, he discovered this secret.

"I understand! Master!" Ilana nodded vigorously, holding the manuscript paper tightly in her arms, as if it were no longer a rejected paper, but a fire of truth that she needed to protect with her future.

Seeing her regain her spirits, Luo Yan smiled with relief.

It's just that occasionally he would worry, would he sometimes exert too much force...

Ilana was not the only one feeling lost.

Sending away this future mathematician, Luo Yan's gaze fell on Miss Aofeiya Kastelion, who was waiting quietly on the side.

That exquisite face was full of complex expressions, and those jewel-like eyes were full of worries and hesitation.

Until yesterday, she was still very happy, and was complacent because she had been a hero who "defeated the Demon King".

He was about to speak, but Aofeiya seemed to have made up her mind and walked over on her own.

"Kelin... Master," she stood before the desk, her hands nervously twisted together, "Do you have time now? I... have something, want to talk to you alone."

Luo Yan looked at those eyes full of worries, probably guessed what she wanted to talk about, so he smiled and nodded.

"Of course. But it's not very convenient here, why not... wait until the bell of dusk rings, let's meet at the 'Gears and Malt' restaurant on Craftsman Street? The roast ribs there are quite good, and there is butter beer."

Aofeiya was slightly stunned, then nodded with a red face.

"Hmm!"

After speaking, she ran away in small steps.

At the same time Aofeiya left, Hearing You You floated out from his side, with a gloating smile on her face.

"Hehehe... could it be that kind of thing? Oh my, Demon King, your spring has also come?"

Luo Yan smiled faintly, picked up the unread book on the table again, and treated Hearing You You's teasing as wind in his ears.

"You think too much, if it were that kind of thing, she wouldn't hesitate at all once she decided, let alone ask me unnecessarily."

Miss Kastelion has always been a master of straight balls, whether it is doing problems or casting spells, she is the straight-to-the-point kind.

The one who should have a headache is the one who "meets moves and breaks moves".

As for why she is worried, I think there is only one thing...

The nobles of the Shengcheng have not seen blood for too long.

In the afternoon, Luo Yan went to the library to have an afternoon tea, and at the same time asked Sarah to get him the latest issue of the "Sage Newspaper".

This world does not have the saying of "specialized academic journals", the "Sage Newspaper" on one hand plays the identity of an academic journal, on the other hand is responsible for publishing official information inside the Mage Tower.

Luo Yan saw the follow-up investigation of the "Chaos Labyrinth Incident" in the newspaper.

At the hearing organized by the Sage Council on this incident, Ms. Lasi Tina, who acted as the fuse of the incident, confessed everything.

She admitted that she bought the box wrapped in black cloth from a black shop on Craftsman Street, and her original intention was to give the preparatory student Ilana a "lesson she would never forget" in the Labyrinth, and knew nothing about the Chaos power sealed in the box.

The old witch who sold her the box was found dead on the snowfield heading to the border of the Luo De Kingdom. The one who did it was a disciple under Professor Alisite, who confessed his crime after being arrested, and confessed that he was instructed by Alisite to kill to silence, but also didn't know what was in the box.

According to the Academy's laws, this teaching assistant was sentenced to ten years in prison while being expelled from the Academy... Actually, generally speaking, a teaching assistant can't be sentenced for so long, and expulsion from the Academy itself is a very serious punishment, but the matter involved Chaos after all.

A huge network of intertwined interests was thus revealed.

The omniscient Sage Council, as if it had regained its vision for the first time, "shockingly" discovered the huge interest group controlled by Professor Alisite Thorne—the "Thorne Society", and launched a vigorous liquidation, investigating to the end.

Although more than 90% of the teachers and students in the Academy had long known about this semi-public secret.

Led by Moke, almost all of Thorne's followers were severely held accountable. In contrast, a group of teaching assistants and apprentices who performed bravely in the Labyrinth trial were promoted.

A quiet power reshuffle was quietly completed under the shadow of the Gao Ta. Even Professor Heketuo was accidentally injured, because he actually had two teaching assistants who were members of the "Thorne Society"... even if he only knew about it afterwards.

And in this process, the previously popular "Void Asset Restructuring Committee" was intentionally or unintentionally excluded.

As for the reason, it is also very simple. Those professors and masters who "defected to Kelin" had long gained real benefits. The Tower of the Great Sage had to prevent the monopoly of academic resources by a single family under the Gao Ta, and the emergence of a new Thorne Society.

Of course, this is still a bit euphemistic.

The real reason is that the card of "Void Asset Restructuring Committee" itself was used by the Great Sage to beat his increasingly restless beloved student, and now this card is no longer needed.

Ilana's rejection was just a speck of dust under the "overturned nest", and the scholars who smelled the wind had already begun to re-align...

At the same time, in the process of this reshuffle, a name familiar to Luo Yan suddenly rose at this time.

His name is Uliyer Akelai, Luo Yan saw this name at the bottom of an inconspicuous page of the "Sage Newspaper".

The breakthrough progress of the so-called "Soul Weaving Technique" research seemed to be a prologue paved in advance for the next dance music.

As for why Luo Yan would remember this name, it had to be said that it was an "adventure" he had on the border of the Luo De Kingdom.

This Professor Uliyer is the teacher of "Green Tooth" Hekajielin.

I think this professor is also an abstract guy.

As for whether he would be more arrogant than Alisite, that is unknown.

Luo Yan has no interest in playing power games with the Great Sage, he has completed the sowing in the Mage Tower, and soon he will go to the south to visit another friend.

Returning to that insignificant small character, Lasi Tina and her small group.

Objectively speaking, the Academy's hearing is much more civilized than the Luo De Kingdom, actually adopting her testimony that she knew nothing about Chaos—she was just a pawn blinded by ambition and jealousy, and thus used by Alisite.

In the whole chain, she only did the one thing of "opening the box", and her participation and knowledge of the whole conspiracy were the lowest.

According to the Academy's regulations, for such vicious behavior that caused serious consequences, expulsion from the Academy and permanent exile is already a severe punishment.

As for whether to pursue other responsibilities, it should be decided by the lord where her family is located.

However, the problem is that this guy unfortunately involved the daughter of Duke Kastelion in danger, which is not something that can be dismissed by just throwing her back to her original place for trial.

The simplest way to handle it, of course, is to execute her and her two accomplices.

Their families would not only have any opinions, but would even send thick gifts, thanking the Academy for "cleaning the portal" for themselves.

However, these mages are all top-level smart people. When smart people start to play dumb, don't ever think they are really stupid.

In order to fully listen to the victim's opinions, those old guys at the hearing stuffed a draft of the verdict with the ruling opinion into the hands of Aofeiya, a girl of only sixteen.

Such inglorious things will of course not be published in the newspaper, but with the experience of a "Demon City Councilor", one can guess seven or eight out of ten of the little tricks these scholars played at a glance.

These old guys don't want to take any responsibility at all.

I think Miss Aofeiya wants to discuss with herself, it can only be this matter.

The bell of dusk echoed over the snowfield, dyeing the sky where the cold wind whistled with a layer of warm orange.

In the "Gears and Malt" restaurant on Craftsman Street, magic lights emitted soft light, illuminating the slowly rotating brass gear decorations on the wall.

The air was filled with the scorched fragrance of roast meat and the mellow aroma of malt beer, completely different from the coldness above the Gao Ta, full of warm fireworks.

Luo Yan and Aofeiya sat down by the window, the waiter quickly served them hot wheat tea to warm their bodies, and then took out his portable notebook.

"Madam, Sir, what would you like to have?"

Luo Yan didn't look at the menu, directly said.

"Honey roast ribs, two freshly made, two packed."

"Okay." The waiter skillfully wrote it down, then took the tray and notebook to the back kitchen.

Aofeiya sat obediently opposite, holding the warm hot wheat tea with both hands, the tips of her boots gently tapping the ground.

For this date that is not a date, she seemed to have made a special trip back to the dormitory, changed into a rice-white cotton skirt and coat that highlighted her noble temperament. A light red scarf buried her neckline, together with that nose tip frozen red, looking like a cute snowman.

Watching the waiter leave, Aofeiya suddenly asked curiously.

"Is the packed one for feeding the dragon?"

Luo Yan smiled and nodded.

"That little guy likes this the most."

Actually, there is another one for feeding the cat, but it's troublesome to explain, so he was too lazy to explain additionally.

Aofeiya held her cheeks with both hands, bright eyes seemingly flashing with starlight.

"Great, in that case, I know what gift to give it next time!"

Imagining Aofeiya lifting a big fat pig to Ta Fu, Luo Yan's smile suddenly became a bit subtle.

"That said, it probably won't be happy to receive meat as a gift."

"Eh? Why?"

"That guy is a... uh, high-level giant dragon, different from ordinary giant dragons."

Actually, Luo Yan wanted to say high-level animal, but thinking it was a bit inappropriate, he changed his words temporarily.

Aofeiya was obviously stunned for a moment.

"Sounds so troublesome!"

"Haha, right? It's better to raise a cat."

"I think so too!"

In the gap of waiting for the dishes, the two chatted in a harmonious atmosphere. Perhaps it was the melodious and soothing lute music that diluted the clouds on Aofeiya's brow a little.

She was silent for a long time, and finally took out the unsigned draft from the storage ring, gently pushing it to Luo Yan.

"The old foxes at the hearing are very cunning, they let me choose."

Luo Yan didn't look at the verdict, nor was he in a hurry to give her any advice, just acting as a listener, listening quietly.

Aofeiya's fingers unconsciously rubbed the warm cup wall, trying to use an indifferent tone to cover up the hesitation in her heart.

"Frankly speaking, although I hate that golden drill that loves to show off, I don't hate it enough to want to cut off her head. The hearing gave me two verdicts, one is to expel and exile according to the Academy's laws, one is to use the death penalty for treason in the Aosi Empire's code... I can sign one of them, or sign neither, but you should know, the choice is actually only two."

She looked up, her tired eyes full of hesitation.

"Highness, your wisdom is even praised by my father, I implore you to lend it to me... please give me some advice."

Luo Yan listened quietly to this girl's pouring out, but didn't give any advice, just thought for a moment and said.

"This is an interesting topic... or trial."

"Choose the death penalty, you will completely end this trouble, declaring in the most severe way that no one can insult the dignity of Kastelion, the Academy is not outside the royal power, and you will define what is rule, what is loyalty."

"Choose exile, you will show your tolerance, this may win you some praise, and win the appreciation of those who value virtue... like Ilana, Hade, Bei'en and them. But likewise, this may also be seen as weakness, letting your future enemies feel there is an opportunity to take advantage of, even becoming a thorn in their side."

"As for whether the three small characters who survived will turn over a new leaf, whether they will be grateful to you or hate you in the future, no one can predict."

He clearly placed the pros and cons of the two choices before Aofeiya, and then stopped talking, completely returning the power of choice to her.

However, those eyes were obviously still craving...

Luo Yan sighed, his tone became serious.

"Aofeiya, I am not you. I can tell you the color of the sky, but choosing at what time and in which direction to look up at it is your freedom, or duty. Your confusion is nothing more than how to choose, but I think this is actually not the point, what is truly important is what do you want to become?"

"What do I want to become..." Aofeiya whispered this sentence, chewing it repeatedly in her heart, as if enlightenment appeared in her eyes.

Luo Yan nodded.

"The card in your hand is not a scholar, it is actually a king. However, there are many kinds of kings, just as there are many forms of secular power."

This is just an abstract metaphor, it does not mean she has the opportunity to become a real king.

But there is no doubt that the ecological niche of the Kastelion family determines that she is standing in such a position at this moment.

God loves the world, but will not favor any specific person.

For Aofeiya's choice, Luo Yan is indifferent.

That is nothing more than the difference between a toddler taking the left foot or the right foot first, and it is not even about good or evil.

Aofeiya gazed at him for a long time, seemingly wanting to find a trace of inspiration from those deep eyes, but she failed in the end.

Those eyes were as calm as a mirror, only reflecting her own struggle.

The restaurant waiter served the sizzling roast ribs and bubbling butter beer, interrupting this heavy silence.

Aofeiya picked up the knife and fork, absent-mindedly cutting a small piece of meat, but didn't send it into her mouth.

After a long silence, she suddenly put down the tableware, letting out a long breath as if relieved. Those confused eyes became clear again, flashing with the light of decision.

"Thank you, I feel much better."

Luo Yan smiled slightly.

"It seems you have an idea."

"Yes! Do you want to hear it?"

"Not much interest, I want to know the ending of the 178th Void Realm more, and... when the order I placed on Craftsman Street can be completed."

"Well, you are also a cunning fox," looking at Prince Kelin who had nothing to do with himself, Aofeiya complained in a low voice with dissatisfaction, "And also bad-hearted."

Thanks for the compliment.

Luo Yan smiled and accepted this compliment, elegantly cutting a piece of rib, not denying his "bad" behavior at all.

"Then are you disappointed in me now?"

He hoped to hear the answer "yes" very much, but unfortunately there was none.

"No."

Aofeiya shook her head.

She suddenly stood up, lifted her skirt, and elegantly performed an impeccable noble lady's salute to Luo Yan, just like in the ballroom of the Shengcheng.

"Your answer enlightened me, and I am very happy that you can give me the power of this choice, instead of controlling me..."

When saying this, a flash of cunning flashed in Aofeiya's eyes, just like a wild rabbit running through the jungle.

"This shows that you no longer treat me as a child."

Looking at the cunning and triumph hidden behind the elegant smile, Luo Yan was slightly stunned, then smiled and drank a sip of refreshing butter beer.

"I seem to have seen a little fox just now."

Worthy of being a young man of the Kastelion family, really can't be taken lightly at all.

Aofeiya said with bright eyes.

"Oh? Then do you like foxes?"

Luo Yan, who put down the wine glass, chose to reply to the question.

"I like Tyrannosaurus Rex."

Not keeping up with that jumping train of thought, Aofeiya was obviously stunned.

"??? What is that."

Looking at Aofeiya, whose topic was easily diverted, Luo Yan smiled.

"A kind of carnivore... I dreamed of it when I was dreaming, let's talk about it when there is a chance later." ===== CHAPTER 412 =====
