On the stone paths of the Ithaca Academy, early-rising students and faculty hurried along, some in groups of three or five, conversing.

All this hustle and bustle seemed to be separated from a few figures standing in the distance by an invisible barrier.

Loren stood there silently for a long while.

He was already feeling a bit like running away; he really didn't know how to face Juliana.

Even if the straightforward and proud Juliana would abide by the ridiculous conditions she had promised and go on a date with him, Loren couldn't imagine what that scene would be like.

He didn't want to spend the whole day with a Juliana who was gnashing her teeth!

And if they really did go on a date, the rumors in Ithaca City would probably go wild again!

Loren covered his eyes.

"Lan Qi, I only ask you this: let the students from the other academic visiting teams return safely, okay? Once Adams recovers, I will personally send him back and apologize, but not a single one of the other twenty students can be missing."

His expression looked like he was smiling, but with a hint of crying.

"..."

Lan Qi was silent at this moment.

Hyberian couldn't help but look at Phoenix, who had been standing beside them.

Loren's expression froze again.

"...Student, no matter how Lan Qi threatened you, don't be afraid. Just tell me frankly, okay?"

Loren looked at Phoenix with extra nervousness and asked.

He knew there was something wrong with Lan Qi being with a student from the Yarrowland Royal Academy!

Fortunately, this student didn't seem to be missing any arms or legs, and didn't look like he needed to go to the hospital.

Phoenix looked at Lan Qi, then at Loren, but didn't say anything.

It was as if he had something very important to say to Loren.

Loren lightly flicked his fingertips, using magic to isolate the sound around them from the outside world.

"Alright, if there's anything you want to tell me, you can say it now."

Loren said gently.

Although he didn't think there could be anything major.

But now, anything related to Lan Qi, he would listen to carefully.

"I am a Resurgent."

Phoenix replied.

"..."

Loren was silent for a moment.

"No, student Phoenix, that joke isn't funny."

Loren smiled awkwardly.

He had never seen a Resurgent so calmly come to confess to him, as if he had been completely reformed.

This was simply a bizarre incident.

"I am an elite covert operative directly under Bishop Ivanos of the Destruction Faction. I am only awakened under special circumstances to carry out missions. The plan for coming to the Hutton Kingdom this time is to kill Duchess Hyberian and create a large-scale accident. At the same time, other Resurgents in the Yarrowland Kingdom will follow up. Once you start investigating, you will fall into our trap and ignite the fuse of conflict, completely destroying the trust between the Hutton and Yarrowland Kingdoms beyond your imagination."

Phoenix said to Loren with a cold expression. Only at this moment did he no longer look like a student, but regained the aura of a Resurgent.

"...?!"

Loren's smile gradually disappeared.

Until his expression was serious, with a hint of mental breakdown.

"This is a plan I have drafted based on my known information, along with my confession and a list of personnel in key organizations in the Yarrowland Kingdom who may be Resurgents. I will actively confess and cooperate with your work. I hope you can take care of my younger sister for me and protect her from retaliation from the Resurgent Church. She is innocent."

Phoenix said calmly, taking out a copy of the intelligence and confession he had written yesterday from his coat pocket, so that Loren could understand it as quickly as possible.

"..."

Loren's hands trembled slightly as he took the pages, looking down at the shocking content.

Then he looked at Phoenix again.

If what Phoenix said was true, then this was undoubtedly a serious safety hazard.

Phoenix's identity in the Resurgent Church was not a small pawn, but a big fish-level perfectly concealed elite.

"Dean Loren, I'm going to have to trouble you with some work later, including protecting Phillys and so on, as well as this information. It's best not to go through the kingdom's hands first. Communicate with a big figure in the Yarrowland Kingdom whom you trust, and let her help you investigate. You know who I'm talking about, right?"

Lan Qi said seriously to Loren.

He even considered the official business that Loren needed to handle together with Juliana.

The so-called love is that incidents must constantly happen, so that the male and female protagonists have more and more opportunities to be together, and everything is arranged by fate, without either side being too deliberate.

Loren now had no choice but to go to Juliana, and he was afraid that he would have a lot of necessary contact with Juliana in the near future. The two of them would definitely spark something!

"Lan Qi... First of all, I must affirm your work ability, and there will be no shortage of credit and praise that belongs to you later..."

Loren looked at Lan Qi with a complex expression.

Loren could no longer understand Lan Qi's motivations.

He seemed to be messing with himself, and also helping himself...

Loren had to admit.

Lan Qi was the most capable student he had ever seen.

He was too strong, making people a little afraid of this guy's ambition.

"But I'm worried that few of the academic visiting team will be able to return in the end. Juliana is coming to the Hutton Kingdom to find me directly."

Loren said with a look of pity.

Now, including Phillys and Phoenix in the hospital, there were a total of twenty-one students who came, and only eighteen would be able to return normally in a week.

If there were a few less, Juliana would come to find him.

At that time, Loren didn't dare to think what the Ithaca rumors would become.

"Really?"

Lan Qi's eyes lit up.

Hyberian widened her eyes.

Looking at Lan Qi like this, she wanted to personally help Dean Loren arrange the wedding!

But the problem was, if Knight Commander Juliana came to the Hutton Capital...

Plus, the rumors in the city were getting more and more distorted...

If Dean Loren's fiancées found out, they would probably never let Dean Loren and Knight Commander Juliana's love go smoothly!

And the fiancées would personally take action.

Then, without even thinking about it, an epic-level shura field would come!

Just for the sake of Ithaca's peace, Hyberian knew that she must not let the students of the Yarrowland Kingdom be reduced any further!

Loren didn't dare to talk to Lan Qi anymore. Normal people couldn't understand this lunatic's thinking.

The more he said, the more likely it was to trigger his motives and do some devilish things.

Loren then took Phoenix and disappeared from the spot like a gust of wind.

The sound-isolating magic barrier dissipated with the dissipation of the airflow, and the noise of the campus, the laughter of other students, and the rustling of leaves in the breeze were once again transmitted to the ears of Lan Qi and Hyberian.

"Lan Qi, what are you planning to do today..."

Hyberian asked with some wariness.

After they sent the person, they walked back leisurely.

Lan Qi looked at Hyberian's expression and was slightly silent for a while.

Beside the path flowed the academy's artificial river. The river water was crystal clear, and a few fallen leaves occasionally floated on the surface, reflecting the blue of the sky and the green of the trees, as peaceful as a painting.

"Today, I plan to rest for a day, go to the Card Master Association to buy some materials, and then practice making cards to make change cards for the Great Love Poet."

Lan Qi thought for a while and replied.

If he didn't do what he promised the Great Love Poet right away, she might not listen to him the next time she came out.

And just taking advantage of the Great Love Poet being in high spirits, he could also let her wholeheartedly help him make cards together.

"Phew..."

Hyberian seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

Lan Qi did still have the rest and adjustment leave given by the school after completing the Shadow World [Banquet of the Sanctuary Rogues].

"By the way, Hyberian, can you lend me your [Transformation Technique: Human] temporarily for two days to study?"

Currently, if Lan Qi wanted to make skins for the Great Love Poet, if he wanted to make changes in terms of race, the formula principle was based on the extension of the transformation technique. Based on [Transformation Technique: Demon], he could turn her into other types of demons, and if he was based on [Transformation Technique: Human], then he could turn her into a human.

It's just that Lan Qi didn't know if changing the race of the Great Love Poet would cause any other additional effects. The final skin effect would also be matched with Lan Qi's own hand-painting.

"No problem."

Hyberian very simply took out [Transformation Technique: Human] and handed it to Lan Qi, while she used the earliest disguise spell to maintain her human form.

Although helping Lan Qi play dress-up games with Miss Tata's appearance would have a strong sense of moral depravity, Hyberian was also a little curious about what the Great Love Poet would become, because Tata's foundation was really beautiful. If possible, Hyberian also wanted to take out a lot of clothes from the Duke's mansion to dress up Tata.
