When Ran Yin woke up, the person in charge of taking care of her was Ying Youyou.

When she suddenly discovered that the dean, who was supposed to have his eyes closed, had opened his eyes at some point, her first reaction was not excitement.

Instead, he cast ten positioning mark spells at the spot, and then ran away tumbling and crawling...

……

It was not until a few minutes later that Ying Youyou followed in with the others.

The considerate Wan Yexi handed the dean a glass of water so that he wouldn't feel thirsty.

Ran Yin took it calmly, his movements steady and without a trace of weakness.

"How are you? Are you feeling unwell anywhere?" Wan Ye Xi greeted naturally on behalf of the other silent companions.

"No problem, how did I wake up?"

Ran Yin skipped the small talk and got straight to the point.

Obviously, what he wanted to ask was not the present moment, but how he got out of the giant poisonous insect.

"We used the Azure Flower to destroy the big guy connected to you."

"Blue flower?" Ran Yin raised an eyebrow, "Where did it come from?"

Wan Ye Xi was silent for a moment, probably considering whether to tell him the truth.

"I raised him." Ivy said.

She and Ying were hiding at the back again. Wan Yexi turned slightly to the side, allowing Ran Yin to see them hiding at the back.

"You raised it?" Ran Yin looked at her with indifference and suspicion in his eyes. "The blue flower is not named casually."

Seeing that he didn't believe it, Ivy didn't bother to prove it and directly took out the eco-box from the storage ring to see for himself.

As expected, Ran Yin shut his mouth. He stared at the poisonous insects in the ecological box for a long time, letting the silence ferment in the air.

Perhaps he was accepting the fact that his experiment had failed.

This is not a touching reunion.

Seeing the atmosphere gradually becoming less tense, Shi Zhimeng spoke up to break the silence: "Hello, Mr. Dean, I am a good friend they made in the academy, Shi Zhimeng! You should have heard of my name."

Ran Yin didn't react. He scanned everyone one by one, and finally stopped at Wan Yexi: "If you want to take my life, you can do it at will."

He didn't seem to be in the mood for small talk.

From the few brief glances just now, Ran Yin was already certain of their current position.

The hostility is very shallow.

But I am definitely not here to negotiate peace.

The cold answer made the atmosphere even more depressing, but Shi Zhimeng didn't take it to heart at all. She immediately dismissed his self-destruction: "That's impossible. We worked so hard to rescue you! There are still many things I want to talk to you about!"

"Ameng, thank you..." Wan Yexi thanked.

Their relationship with Dean Ran Yin was more like that of an enemy than a friend. They had never met face to face like this before, so even Wan Yexi couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

"Hey, so come chat with us. Everyone has prepared a question!"

As if oblivious to the strange atmosphere, Tokieda Yume insisted on pushing forward the process.

"what is the problem?"

Perhaps realizing that he had no choice, Ran Yin actually continued asking questions following Shi Zhimeng's words.

"Well - who of you will go first?" Shi Zhimeng turned around.

No one answered.

When I look back at the questions I thought of casually at that time, some of them seem provocative, some are pretentious, and some are incomprehensible.

"Why are you shy? Let's play rock-paper-scissors!" Tokieda Meng decided on a game on the spot.

The first unlucky guy was Wan Ye Yu.

Wan Yexi sighed resignedly, and then asked generously: "Dean, have you ever thought... that we will betray you one day?"

Ran Yin's expression froze.

"We have done a lot and have dealt with our greatest enemy. Soon, we will have true freedom... real freedom."

The waiting process is long.

They were both nervous and looking forward to what Ran Yin would say in response. Ying was even more nervous and hid herself completely behind Ivy, trying to make herself invisible.

Unexpectedly, Ran Yin's reaction was unexpectedly calm. He gave two words: "I've thought about it."

"Since when?"

"Very early."

Probably guessing their questions, Ran Yin placed the water cup on the table, his expression calm: "I expected this day to come a long time ago, from the very beginning, but I didn't expect... this day will come sooner than expected."

"Why?" This time it was Chu Yu who asked.

Ran Yin looked at Chu Yu deeply and said, "Because there is no loyalty in the ideology you have been indoctrinated with."

Chu Yu was stunned for a moment, probably recalling the dream of betrayal again.

"Then, are you willing to bless our future?" Ye Jiyan asked.

He followed the topic and asked questions so naturally that people ignored the fact that... he was the second loser in the game of rock-paper-scissors.

"Of course." Ran Yin's answer was more tolerant. "This is the result of your victory. If my blessing can push you to go further, I am willing to do so."

"So you actually love them very much, right?" Tokieda Yume was the third loser.

Ran Yin smiled as if she heard something funny.

"Love? Of course. They are all flowers that I have carefully cultivated."

Although it was an affirmative answer, he said it so easily that they couldn't feel the warmth of his emotion.

Shi Zhimeng probably realized this as well. She fell silent, looking depressed and thoughtful.

Next it was Ying Youyou's turn.

"Um...what's the weather like?" Ying's mind was blank again.

Ran Yin: “?”

"No, no, no, I mean..." Ying lowered her head again, fidgeting, "Do you know me?"

She was a nobody in the orphanage. Although she could show off in front of her classmates after coming to the magic academy, she was always the weakest one compared with her other companions.

The attention she received must have been the lowest.

"confidence."

Ran Yin shook her head, as if correcting her inferiority complex.

"You are the only one specializing in light, and you have a bright future ahead of you."

"Okay, okay." Ying blushed again and hid behind Ivy.

It seems that the dean's answer is more effective than directly saying that he knows me.

Ivy was a little speechless. She poked Ying again and again, trying to wake Ying up a little.

It's so easy to be so happy just by saying a nice word.

When it was Evie's turn, she also changed the question.

"Do you want to live?"

Ran Yin's gaze shot straight over.

Ivy continued, "We found an antidote that's more powerful than yours. Do you want to live?"

He shook his head.

No words, just slowly shook his head.

Ran Yin doesn't want to live.

Is that why he would easily hand over his life lock to others?

Ivy seemed to sense Chu Yu's stiffness.

Only one last question remains.

They waited for Chu Yu to speak.

Even Ran Yin looked over, and there seemed to be an elusive smile in her originally calm eyes.

"Why……"

Chu Yu was a little shaken, but she still asked the question as expected.

"Why are you giving me your life lock?"
