As a symbiotic being, I raise children amidst the chaos.

Her gaze shifted to Otto, who smiled slightly at her. Seeing Otto's relaxed demeanor, Bianca's tense nerves eased a little, but her deep-seated vigilance did not completely dissipate.

After all, recalling Otto's earlier display of intent to attack Chen Yuan, Bianca felt uneasy. She even thought that allowing Chen Yuan to remain within the Destiny organization at this moment was probably unwise.

"The vice-captain of the Undying Blade... Very well, then Mr. Chenyuan, do you intend to stay in Destiny or choose to return to St. Freya Academy?" Noticing the worry that Bianca was showing, Rita coughed lightly twice, then took a few graceful steps and slowly walked up to Chenyuan.

Although she was saying these words, the shape of her mouth as she slightly opened and closed conveyed a completely different meaning.

Having spent so much time with Rita, Chen Yuan naturally saw through her immediately. Rita's lips were clearly moving as she said, "Your Highness, you absolutely cannot stay in Fate's Mandate; it's far too dangerous here!"

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Chen Yuan silently mouthed his response to Rita, then stretched lazily before turning to Fu Hua beside him and smiling.

"Although I am now the vice-captain of the Undying Blade, it's really just a nominal position. When there's nothing to do, I will naturally retreat to my own little haven as usual."

At this point, he deliberately paused, a slightly teasing smile on his face, before adding, "After all, there's a widely circulated saying in our land—'A golden nest or a silver nest can't compare to one's own straw nest.'"

"Surely our wise, mighty, and incomparably great Bishop Otto wouldn't refuse such a small request of mine?"

“Of course…” When Chen Yuan’s words reached Otto’s ears, his originally calm face twitched slightly, and then he subtly put his hands behind his back.

He said in a seemingly gentle yet subtly cunning tone, "After all, my friend, you are a very special and unique individual."

"So, I will do my best to meet all your needs to the greatest extent possible, but of course, the premise is not to be too outrageous."

Just then, Rita, who had been silent all along, suddenly rolled her eyes, and a charming smile quickly appeared on her lips. She continued in a soft voice.

"Since you've already said so, then... in order for our Undying Blade to better cooperate and develop synergy, let's go with my idea."

"It's quite necessary for me and Lady Bianca to go to St. Freya Academy together and spend some time there with the newly appointed vice-captain..."

However, before Rita could finish speaking, Fu Hua interrupted her without hesitation, saying, "No!" Her tone was firm, and her eyes revealed obvious dissatisfaction.

After glaring fiercely at Rita, he slowly shifted his gaze to Chen Yuan and said in a low voice, "Master Chen, in my opinion, this matter seems to lack thorough consideration."

'What a joke!' Fu Hua thought to herself. She wasn't stupid. Just looking at that dormitory, there were countless people who coveted her Master Chen.

Especially Bianca and Rita in front of us, if I'm not mistaken, they probably have extraordinary feelings for Master Chen as well.

Looking at my own side, well, to be honest, I only have Xiao Shi as a so-called comrade-in-arms. And besides, he seems a bit... silly and unreliable most of the time.

It's usually only when I'm absolutely at my wit's end that I think of letting her out to help. Who would have thought that once she shows up, she'll be even worse than me—she's utterly useless and more of a hindrance than a help!

Just then, Otto coughed lightly twice and said slowly, "Hmm... Miss Fu Hua is absolutely right. Rita, as the vice-captain of the Undying Blade, in my opinion, it would be more appropriate for you to stay with Schicksal for the time being..."

Clearly, Otto had no intention of sending Rita, and Fu Hua's words were exactly what he wanted.

However, before Otto could finish speaking, Bianca suddenly chimed in with interest, "I think Rita has a point. After all, this operation is crucial for developing the Undying Blade's teamwork skills."

"If even we, as team leaders, don't know each other well enough, then we might encounter all sorts of unexpected and troublesome problems when carrying out missions in the future."

Bianca's words were like a thunderclap, exploding in the air and instantly shocking everyone present, even Otto and Rita were speechless.

However, after everyone came to their senses and thought about it carefully, they realized that given Bianca's unconventional personality, it was not entirely unexpected that he would say such a thing.

After all, it's her personality, you know what I mean, right? A person's name might not match their personality, but their nickname won't. Silly goose, silly goose, like I said, you know what I mean.

Only Bianca herself knew how uneasy she felt when she uttered those words. She quietly put her hands behind her back, clenched them into fists, and her palms were already covered with a fine layer of sweat.

Her beautiful eyes flickered with a hint of panic, and she dared not meet Chen Yuan's gaze directly, as if a single glance would mercilessly expose the secrets hidden in her heart.

"Well... it's a bit..." Otto raised his right hand awkwardly, gently wiping away the non-existent cold sweat on his forehead, swallowing hard before slowly speaking.

"Bianca, as the captain of the Undying Blade, you should set an example and be a role model for your teammates!"

"Otherwise, if even you act in this way, what will happen to your team members? Besides, it will probably cause many inconveniences when carrying out missions in the future."

After saying these words, Otto felt a bitter taste in his mouth and couldn't help but secretly lament his misfortune. To be honest, today was the most humiliating and image-shattering day he had experienced in hundreds of years!

He never imagined that things would get so out of control, to the point that he felt an overwhelming urge to throw caution to the wind and unleash a torrent of profanity.

He had come full of confidence to handle Chen Yuan's affairs, but in the end, not only did he fail to resolve the matter, but he also watched as his two top-tier Valkyries seemed to be gradually siding with Chen Yuan. How could he accept this? And who could he turn to for advice?

Meanwhile, after hearing Otto's words, Bianca fell into deep thought. Her brows furrowed slightly, and her beautiful eyes gleamed with contemplation as she carefully weighed the pros and cons.

After a while, as if she had suddenly thought of something, her eyes lit up, and a brilliant idea instantly popped into her cute little head.

Immediately afterwards, a crisp "smack" rang out as Bianca excitedly clapped her hands hard, then said with a serious and earnest expression.

“I’ve got it! In that case, I might as well just take the ‘Undying Blade’ with me! Although the teaching methods at St. Freya Academy might not be the best fit for us.”

"But that's okay, I can completely tailor a new training plan for the team members based on the actual situation!"

Bianca's resounding words, like a blazing torch, instantly ignited the previously somber atmosphere.

Otto's bright green eyes seemed to lose all their luster in an instant, becoming dull and lifeless as he stared blankly at Bianca, completely unable to understand why she would say such a thing.

Just then, a crisp laugh suddenly rang out—'Pfft...' It turned out that Chen Yuan couldn't hold back any longer and burst out laughing. Feeling Otto looking at him, Chen Yuan waved his hand. "Well, you can continue, I just remembered something funny."

It's surprising and amusing that Otto, who has always been a high and mighty figure who controls everything, is now showing such a ridiculous side.

Even Chen Yuan couldn't help but sigh inwardly, after all, that was Otto! To be able to push him to this point, Bianca is truly formidable!

After letting out a soft sigh, Otto shook his head helplessly, then gently pulled Durandal's arm and led her aside. He then launched into a long, rambling monologue, as if he had just opened a floodgate.

Clearly, Otto intended to use his silver tongue to steer Bianca onto the so-called "right path." However, when he saw the stubborn expression on the girl's face, he immediately realized that this effort would likely be of little use.

While it may have some effect, it falls far short of expectations.

At this moment, Durandal exhibited a unique state; no matter how eloquently Otto spoke or expressed his opinions, she maintained her own independent attitude.

It's as if Otto's words are just passing by; they act on their own without a second thought. Although they listen to every word the other person says, they will never follow his instructions.

Should we judge Durandal as possessing great wisdom, or simply lament that she is too naive?

After a while, Otto, with a sorrowful and melancholy expression, led the extremely cheerful Durandal slowly in. Just by glancing at their expressions, Chen Yuan immediately understood.

—Clearly, Otto's best efforts were in vain in persuading Durandal to return.

Once the two approached, Otto took a deep breath and said, "Chenyuan, after some consideration, I agree to let Durandal and Rita accompany you to St. Freya. However... I do have a few requests to make."

"Okay, go ahead and say it." When Chen Yuan heard that Otto hadn't even uttered his signature "friend," he knew that Otto was truly furious and depressed to this extent.

Chen Yuan smiled slightly and nodded, indicating his willingness to listen to Otto's request. Seeing this, Otto took a deep breath, gathered his thoughts, and slowly began to speak.

"First of all, I hope that during your time at St. Freya, you can ensure the freedom of Bianca and Rita, and if any missions arise, I hope they will immediately rush to the battlefield."

"Secondly, any information involving the secrets of Destiny must not be disclosed to any third party, including but not limited to St. Freya's students and other teachers."

"Thirdly, I need you to promise me something. I haven't thought about what it is yet, but don't worry, it's definitely not something that crosses your bottom line."

After Otto finished speaking, his gaze swept over everyone present, searching for not a trace of opposition in their expressions. However, apart from Fu Hua's brow furrowing slightly, everyone else seemed to be waiting for Chen Yuan's reply.

After listening quietly to Otto's demands, Chen Yuan smiled slightly and nodded slowly, saying, "I accept all these conditions. As for the last one, I think I will try my best to cooperate, as long as what you propose is not something that violates my principles."
