People who like to keep you in suspense are the most annoying!

“What on earth do you want to say? Leah!”

“Are you finally willing to call me by my name?” Leah looked back and smiled, “Aren’t you the one who knows these things best? Xia Yi, you don’t need to ask me.”

“…”

“Goodbye then, Xia Yi.”

After saying this, Leah left, leaving only her back to Xia Yi.

Haha~

The eldest daughter of the Schubert family was very happy at this time.

She did it on purpose.

In fact, Leah also cares very much about Xia Yi and wants to find out everything.

However, he did not choose to confront Xia Yi and ask her clearly, but instead used the tactic of playing hard to get.

In this way, probably in the next period of time, Xia Yi will always think about her own affairs, thinking over and over again what her words mean, and thus become very concerned about herself, right?

What she wants is this effect.

Before, Leah could always clearly feel that Xia Yi was deliberately avoiding her and didn’t want to contact her.

Next time, it should be different.

……

“Ms. Leah, you’re back.”

Leia returned to her residence, where her servants greeted her with greetings.

Unlike other students, she did not live in the dormitory of Laurel College, but instead built a manor in Laurel City as her residence.

Of course, other students can do the same as her. There are many rich people in Laurel College.

But doing so is expensive. Very expensive.

The daily rental fee has reached an astonishing figure. Even the princes and nobles of some countries cannot afford it. The premium is extremely serious.

After all, this is the autonomous region of Laurel College. A city is so small that Laurel College has the final say on the rules. Even if they are outrageous, other students can’t say anything.

However, behind Leah is the Schubert family. Such high consumption is not a problem for one of the four major families in the Rhine Kingdom.

Leah doesn’t have to pay for the expenses here by herself. She can just send the bill back to the family when the time comes. At most she will be scolded, and the family will take care of the money and other things.

“Have you sorted out all the information I asked you to investigate before?”

Leah leaned back on the couch.

“Yes, yes, although it took some time, the information has been sorted out. Please take a look.”

The servant placed a lot of information in front of Leah.

Before, Leah did one thing, which was to entrust her servants to investigate some things about Xia Yi.

Now, the servant has returned to him with intelligence and news, and the investigation into Xia Yi has also yielded results.

Picking up the information and taking a few casual glances at it, Leah’s face changed.

“Ms. Leah, you previously asked me to go to Belem and investigate the Lawrence family. I found some clues. Do you remember?”

“Remember.” Leah nodded.

“The Lawrence family had fallen into decline, but they still wanted to save face, so they chose to sell off their property. However, if they continued like this, sooner or later they would be unable to support the normal operation of the family. Just when the Lawrence family was about to collapse, a mysterious woman appeared and funded the Lawrence family.”

“That’s true. The head of the Lawrence family avoided talking about it.”

“It was a few years later that Xia Yi suddenly appeared. The head of the Lawrence family claimed that she was his distant relative from the countryside and helped Xia Yi register for a noble identity. Before that, Beren had never seen Xia Yi, let alone heard the head of the Lawrence family. It was as if she appeared out of thin air!”

The servant continued to explain:

“Miss Leah, you entrusted me to investigate Xia Yi’s identity, which allowed me to learn a bigger secret! I quietly spent some money to bribe local officials and obtained Xia Yi’s information. I went to the countryside where she lived before and secretly visited many local households. I found that no one in the countryside knew or even had seen this girl. The officials in the countryside also had no information about Xia Yi. This means that the Lawrence family fabricated the person Xia Yi Lawrence through some gray channel!”

“Sure enough, Xia Yi hid these secrets and didn’t tell anyone.”

Leah narrowed her eyes.

In the morning, her servants came back and reported this.

But Leah still wanted to know more comprehensive information, so she asked her servants to organize the information first.

Xia Yi’s identity is very suspicious.

Why would the Lawrence family be so concerned about Xia Yi appearing out of nowhere and even going through this channel and taking risks to help her create a new noble identity?

……correct.

Leah remembered something.

There is another character, Norma Lawrence, who is the eldest daughter of the Lawrence family.

However, she remembered what the eldest daughter of the Lawrence family usually did towards Xia Yi in Laurel College.

Just like an attendant, very respectful.

Norma Lawrence is the only young generation in the Lawrence family. In name, she and Xia Yi are cousins.

How could the eldest daughter of the Lawrence family have such an attitude in front of her distant relatives in the countryside?

Then, there might be only one possibility to make the nobles of the Lawrence family bow their heads like this…

Leah raised her eyes, glanced at the calendar, locked on an important date, thought for a long time, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

“Don’t even think about running away, Xia Yi… Who told you to reject me in front of everyone?”

——–

Damn it, who was it that kept saying that I had a big guaranteed card draw? Today, Hu Tao Ye Lan Chi got the big guaranteed card three times, breaking the defense QAQ

67 Academy Senior Level Meeting

“Mr. Biden.”

“Teacher Biden?”

“Teacher Biden!”

At a high-level meeting at Laurel College, Biden couldn’t help but doze off again.

The leaders of the college board were a little dissatisfied when they saw this situation, so they shouted several times.

But Biden still didn’t respond.

The teacher next to him couldn’t sit still anymore, so he came over and pushed him a few times before Biden woke up.

“Teacher Biden, if you feel you don’t have enough energy, you can take a rest and don’t need to attend the meeting. You can ask other teachers to convey the results of the meeting to you,” said the leader of the school board.

His tone sounded a bit harsh.

However, the status of the Board of Directors is not ordinary. Most of the funds for the activities of Laurel College are provided by the Board of Directors.

It can even be said that the teachers’ daily salaries and research funds all need to be provided by the board of directors.

Although his tone was a bit harsh, Biden would not get angry.

“Ahem, sorry, teaching is a bit tiring. Please continue with the meeting,” Biden evaded the question.

The leader of the school board looked at the principal.

The principal nodded and continued to hand over the high-level meeting.

“In addition to the previous daily reports, teachers, is there anything else you need to report?”

“Report to the principal, the mutant monsters have become more active recently.”

Among them, a teacher reported that he was a senior teacher in the Holy Service Department. He entered the Disaster Response Department and has been tasked with dealing with disasters.

“Is the range of mutant monster activities within the jurisdiction of our Laurel College?” asked the principal.

“Yes, Principal. It happens to be at the autonomous border of our Laurel Academy. It borders the cities of Rhine Country and there are many civilians living there. Before the mutant monsters gather and form a beast tide to endanger the civilians, we hope to apply to lead a team to the autonomous border to clear out the mutant monsters.”

“Well, how many people are needed?”

“We need at least 70% of the people who can perform in Laurel Academy. If possible, the more the better.”

“So many?” The principal was a little surprised.

“Yes, principal, and I also want to apply for more equipment and bring over those executives who have experience in dealing with disasters,” the senior teacher of the Holy Office Department explained. “The mutant monsters are just more in number, but their levels are not high. We can definitely handle them. This is an opportunity. We can act before the Knights Templar and deal with those monsters. It will be of great benefit to the students and the academy.”

In fact, the teacher of the Holy Order Department made his meaning very clear.

This is an opportunity for students to add value to their resume.

Although most of the combat power would need to be transferred, which would weaken the defense of Laurel Academy headquarters, for decades, Laurel Academy’s defense had been an iron wall without any loopholes…

The principal still wants to give those students who choose to fight against the disaster a chance to be rewarded.

What’s more, mutated monsters are also of considerable value and can be used in refining weapons and armor, creating magic scrolls, and refining alchemical potions.

“So, what is the opinion of the board of directors?” the principal asked the board of directors.

“Yes, no problem. This is an opportunity to improve the prestige of Laurel Academy. If the risk is not too great, you can definitely do it. We can provide equipment, alchemy potions, and financial support.”

The leaders of the school board nodded and of course agreed to carry out the task if it could make money.

“Well, then—”

Just as the principal was about to make a decision, someone interrupted him.

“Wait a minute, Principal, I have a different opinion on this matter.”

Everyone looked over there.

It’s Hill.

Hill was just an adult, and at the high-level meeting of the college, he seemed quite out of place compared to other teachers and leaders. He was really too young.

But Hill’s strength and his status as the Sword Master’s direct disciple were there, so no one would say much.

“Principal, I hope the academy will reconsider sending most of the combat forces to the autonomous border to clean up the mutated monsters, and not weaken the defense of the Laurel College headquarters.” Hill raised an objection.
