Chapter 371: Forty-one, she really is a crazy woman_2
“How so?” Adelle glanced at Hewinia. “Do you think I’m deceiving you?”
“No! Of course not!” Hewinia shook her head nervously. “I’m just… surprised.”
“Your surprise is normal,” Adelle said. “Since it has nothing to do with you, Golden Note has always been an exception. No one has been able to compete with Golden Note.”
At this, Adelle paused.
“But your family has never mentioned this to you? I thought they would at least make you a bit more cautious.”
Hewinia realized she had seemingly given something away and discreetly sought to cover it up. “Indeed they mentioned it, but only in passing. Perhaps they don’t see it as a big deal.”
“For Nobles, it indeed isn’t a big deal,” Adelle continued. “For them, it’s just competition among common Players. Nobles already have their places in the Inner Song. Even if they don’t have one this time, they will the next. Their status won’t be affected. It’s only the common Players who must fight desperately for this spot, because this is their only chance.”
Adelle’s words carried a hint of sarcasm.
Hewinia couldn’t help but glance at Adelle.
If her memory served her right, Adelle was the youngest teacher in the Three Academies, now just over thirty years old.
Calculating the time…
She must have experienced that festival twenty years ago, as a student.
Hewinia began to consider the possibilities.
By then, Adelle had already brought Hewinia next to the teaching building and stopped.
“Arianna seems quite fond of you,” Adelle said. “For her sake, let me give you some advice. Until the festival is over, try to avoid things given to you by others. Although it’s unlikely anyone would want to harm you, it would be troublesome to be affected by some strange thing.”
“I understand,” Hewinia replied obediently. “Thank you, Teacher Adelle.”
Adelle nodded and then turned around to leave.
But Hewinia couldn’t help but ask another question.
“Can that murderer be found?”
Adelle stopped in her tracks, turned to look at Hewinia, and then spoke with implicit meaning.
“You know, Miss Hewinia, the festival is a grand event for the Nobles.”
“But for us, it’s an opportunity… the only opportunity.”
“Enjoy your grand event then. The rest is not your concern.”
After these ambiguous words, Adelle walked away.
What she didn’t know was that her departing figure grew clearer and clearer in Hewinia’s eyes.
It even swept past the thick robe, directly landing on the skin underneath.
All the details of Adelle’s silver notes were fully captured by Hewinia.
So much so that once Adelle had left, Hewinia immediately covered her left eye to alleviate the sudden sharp pain.
“You really are fearless, aren’t you?” Bai Wei’s sigh echoed in her mind. “Why have you activated ‘Gaze’ at a time like this?”
The stinging sensation quickly subsided, and the eye that could see through everything gradually returned to normal. Hewinia knew it was Bai Wei who had helped her close the “Water Tap.”
“Her words made me somewhat concerned,” Hewinia said. “So I decided to take a look at her notes.”
“Did you find out anything?”
“Her notes aren’t particularly outstanding,” Hewinia said. “They’re even somewhat inferior to Arianna’s.”
Bai Wei seemed to understand and chuckled. “You think she became a teacher because she benefited from the festival twenty years ago, right?”
Hewinia nodded. “She seems very familiar with that toxin, and according to the timeline, she would have been a student twenty years ago.”
“That’s quite interesting,” Bai Wei said with interest. “In your opinion, her extensive knowledge about poisoning to eliminate other students means she’s very likely the one who did the poisoning twenty years ago? The murderer turned teacher, that’s why you wanted to confirm, right?”
Hewinia nodded again.
“While it’s not particularly substantiated, the guess is still worth considering,” Bai Wei said. “However, what kind of person she is has nothing to do with you now… oh, I get it. You’re worried she might be the next Arianna, aren’t you?”
Hewinia didn’t answer, but Bai Wei felt he had probably guessed right.
Arianna must have left a significant psychological shadow on Hewinia. So now, whenever she senses a dangerous person, she’d rather check first.
She didn’t have the capability before, but now with Bai Wei’s eyes, Hewinia could be more cautious. Obviously, she didn’t want to repeat an incident like Arianna’s.
“Your vigilance is quite admirable,” Bai Wei said. “But I advise you to take it easy. Using my ability so recklessly, you might not last until after the festival. If there’s another situation like this, just let me take a look for you.”
Actually, Bai Wei found it quite amusing. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
In the past, with Ulu and Gerard, Bai Wei had to go out of his way to make them use his power.
Now with Hewinia, it was quite the opposite. If not for the high cost of Rule, she would probably want to keep ‘Gaze’ activated all the time.
So much so that even Bai Wei had to keep an eye on her, lest she literally die.
So… was this a case of fortune’s wheel turning?
