The circular rug in the center of the foundation layer is like the core of the hall floor. It is rich and harmonious in color, forming a sun totem that shines brightly under natural light.

"Randy, you are such a kind and gentle person."

Karen wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes, a slight smile crept onto her lips as she spoke with emotion.

She then turned to Arnold, and, laying her hand upon her breast, bowed to him.

"My Lord Enoel, I respect every choice you make, and I value you as a friend. I hope you can forget what I just said. I don't want you to remember me looking so foolish."

"No, no, Karen, I'm so sorry."

And Aenor replied hastily.

"Well then, Your Highness, you've let me off the hook this time."

Karen's eyes were still slightly red-rimmed, but she smiled.

"Naturally."

Ainor understands that she needs to be compensated next time.

Lanche watched with satisfaction as the two resumed their joyful atmosphere.

Although Kallen is setting another trap for Enell, Ranchi doesn't make any moves this time.

Just treat it as Sophia's after-school homework, her own man needs to be conquered by herself.

Lanche is a teacher, but not a substitute.

"Dr. Loren should be here soon."

Eleanor glanced at the large clock in the library.

Then I'll head out for today. It would be awkward to run into Dean Loren later.

Enoll smiled sheepishly.

If we wait for院長 Loren to arrive, we'll have to explain the conflict that just happened in front of him again.

And now he wants to find Sophia and apologize to her.

"Leave it to me."

Lancy gazed at Eleanor as she answered.

Dean Lauren, I'm familiar with Lance. He can handle things from here on out.

Anna couldn't help but hug Lanci.

His best friend is really reliable.

"See you next time, Lancy, and Karen."

Thus, Eleanor happily bid them farewell.

In the central hall of the Gutta Library, time seemed to be deliberately slowed. Every footstep and every soft cough in the spacious room echoed under the majestic dome before fading away, swallowed by the endless sea of books and history.

Those tall windows on the walls allowed sunlight to pour in without reservation, adding an ethereal stillness to the hall.

Karen and Lance weren't that close, and the air between them grew heavy after Elnore left.

They had met for the first time today and spoken to each other, but after the only person they knew left, they lost their topic of conversation.

Karen pondered, she found this black-haired green-eyed fellow rather interesting.

At the very least, he is incredibly powerful, comparable to the existence of the Rebirth Church's holy sons and daughters, and also Lorene's most outstanding disciple.

As a Sage Academy combatant knowledgeable in magic engineering, I'm sure we would have plenty to talk about.

He might still have a lot of demands for himself, after all, powerful combat skills and powerful card makers complement each other.

Thus.

In the tranquility of the library, Lan Qi was admiring the frescoes on the walls of the ancient tower.

"I see, Ranchi-kun. You wanted to be alone with me all along"

Karen leaned closer and whispered,

Ranch looked at her with a hint of surprise, while Karen seemed quite pleased with Ranch's innocent reaction and added slyly in a low voice,

But my answer is — yes, you can.

……

Sophia, who had already been overjoyed to see Eleanor leave, was stunned when she heard what Calen said to Lanchi.

This green tea is starting up again!

Now, isn't Lance getting himself in trouble

Because of this issue, it seems like there's no way to answer in a way that fits Rance's character. He couldn't possibly say something rude.

If you were to be like Frey, of course you could just say, "Woman, get out!"

But Ranch has always been polite, sincere and gentle.

Karen chose to use those ambiguous and cunning probing words precisely because she knew Lan Qi's personality.

The more Ranch rejects her, the more it seems like he's interested in her!

To admit it directly would be over.

"Sigh…"

Sophia looked at Huberlian with worry, Kaelen now wants to lay claim to your ranch.

Hey, Baobei, why don't you go duel her

However.

This is like feeding meat to a wolf.

Huperlyan only shook her head, as if mocking Kaelen's foolishness.

Sophia: ""

Downstairs.

Lan Qi listened to Ka Lian's words.

He quickly recovered from his astonishment.

"That's wonderful! I've heard that Ms. Karen achieved the gold-level cardmaker status in her second year, which is truly impressive. I am far behind. If I had the honor of receiving your guidance, it would be a blessing for me."

Lanche smiled gently.

"Hmph, then just follow me on the way to observe later. I can teach you a little bit."

Karen thought for a moment, this guy was indeed a pure-hearted boy. Knowing his personality, she could easily get her way.

But this time.

Sophia, who was peering at the situation below from beside the six-story stone balustrade, also understood what Lanchi wanted to do!

He does have a 50% chance of being humble.

There's also a 50% chance they're up to no good.

No matter which possibility, Karen will be in deep trouble!

……

Meanwhile, on the other side, the entrance to the Ancient Pagoda Library of the Sage's Court.

A young man with slightly weary eyes and a conspicuous cross emblazoned on his collar, stepped into the library.

Walk through the corridor, along the counter. Next to it is a row of intricately carved high-backed chairs, which harmonize with the bronze-edged tables beside them. On one table stands a crystal lamp, and beneath some lamps are half-open books with sprigs of orange-yellow ginkgo leaves marking their pages.

"It's just as well that Lance wasn't inclined towards my suggestion to watch with Karen, though I will need to make time later on to let him observe individually. Still, it's better than letting him interact with the students from the Alora Kingdom."

Loren gazed at the library scenery, thinking to herself, three students hadn't returned yet.

One is in the hospital, one is in jail, and one has transferred schools.

And that transfer student also seemed to have some issues. Ever since her brother, Phoenix, entrusted her to me, she's seemed to rely on me a little too much...

Loren only felt that things had been piling up recently, making his scalp numb.

Never mind.

Loreen shook her head.

Now Juliana has been appeased for the time being, and it's settled that she won't come to Icerite herself.

From now on, we cannot be missing even one student.

He was flanked by towering shelves of ancient oak, reaching up to the ceiling. They were lined with countless books, their gilded edges catching the light, their spines faded and worn with age. The scent of antiquity hung heavy in the air.

And Laurent's figure could also be seen flickering among the bookshelves.

As the light ahead grew brighter, passing through this book collection area led to the central hall.

Next second.

When Lauren entered the hall and saw the figure beside Karen in the distance, her heart skipped a beat.
