Chapter 126 Another Victim

Dean Xiao?!

After learning the old man's name, Mo Xie remained outwardly calm, but inwardly she was already shocked.

Who is Dean Xiao?

All anyone knew was that he was a kind and approachable dean at Mingzhu Academy.

What the world doesn't know is that he is actually a forbidden water-based spellcaster!
Forbidden spells are the highest level that magicians cultivate, the level they dream of, and the level they strive to reach their entire lives.

To have a forbidden spell master sitting right in front of him was something Mo Xie never dared to dream of, as it was the first time he had ever seen a forbidden spell master.

"Young man, you must be Ding Yumin's friend?"

Dean Xiao looked at Mo Xie and said with a smile.

"Yes, my name is Mo Xie."

Mo Xie had always admired teachers who dedicated themselves to educating people, and a sense of respect arose in her heart as she replied.

Dean Xiao paused slightly as he drank his tea, staring at Mo Xie's face with surprise, and couldn't help but ask a question.

You said your name is... Mo Xie?

Upon hearing Dean Xiao's question, Mo Xie was stunned for a moment, not understanding why the other party asked such a question.

"Dean Xiao...you've heard of me?"

Dean Xiao shook his head with a wry smile, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Meeting you, I don't know if it was by chance or destiny...

"Of course I've heard of you. My granddaughter is a huge fan of yours and talks about you all the time. When can you give my granddaughter an autographed photo?"

"Haha, is that so... I'm truly honored."

Mo Xie scratched the back of his head and laughed awkwardly.

"Let's get down to business!"

Ding Yumin pinched Mo Xie's waist hard with her jade-like hand, looking at him with resentment in her eyes.

"Yes, yes, let's get down to business... Dean Xiao, may I ask you why you brought Yu Mian to live at Mingzhu Academy?"

Dean Xiao put down his teacup, his expression extremely serious, and said earnestly.

"There are certainly reasons why I want to bring Ding Yumin to Mingzhu Academy."

"Firstly, Ding Yumin's results in this year's magic college entrance examination were outstanding, and she has not yet decided on her university major. Our Pearl Academy does not want to let go of such a magical genius."

"Secondly because..."

At this point, Dean Xiao stared intently at Mo Xie, then changed the subject and asked slowly.

"Mo Xie, do you know who she is?"

"I know."

"Of course you don't know, she..."

Dean Xiao paused in his steady tone, his expression instantly turning strange as he asked in surprise.

"you know?!"

"Yes, Yu Mian is a victim of the Mind System."

Mo Xie nodded and told the truth.

Dean Xiao certainly knows this is his identity, so there's nothing to hide.

Since you know that, then what was the point of all the groundwork I laid before?
Dean Xiao's eye twitched almost imperceptibly, he stroked his beard, and coughed.

"Ahem, since you know, then I won't explain any further. I think you know what the words 'victims' mean."

“Living at our Pearl Academy, we have the resources to protect her safety and the expertise to teach her to become stronger until she has the ability to protect herself.”

Mo Xie nodded, not denying Dean Xiao's words.

The Pearl Academy has many powerful super-level mages, as well as him, a water-based forbidden spell user, so he certainly has the ability to say such a thing.

But can Mingzhu Academy really protect the victims?

Generally speaking, victims can live peacefully as long as they do not appear before the people of the Inquisition or the Court of Judgment.

Once captured by the people of the Holy City, not even a country can be saved, let alone a prestigious academy.

Moreover, there is another problem... Mo Xie clenched his fist, raised his head and looked at Dean Xiao, and asked.

"Dean Xiao, may I ask a question?"

"Of course, go ahead and ask."

"You know perfectly well that the victims cause a lot of trouble, so why do you still want to protect Yu Mian's safety?"

Upon hearing this question, Dean Xiao paused slightly, a trace of sadness flashing in his eyes, as if he were lost in memories.

After a moment of silence, he slowly raised his head and said with a sorrowful tone.

"Several years ago, I had a student who was also a victim. Although she seemed indifferent on the outside, she was curious about everything and was a kind and friendly girl who was cold on the outside but warm on the inside."

"But... she was captured by the Inquisition and will never be able to return to a normal life."

As Dean Xiao spoke, his tone gradually lowered, and his eyes glazed over for a moment, as if the student were right in front of him.

Mo Xie's expression turned serious, and the more she listened, the more she felt something was wrong.

Several years ago, another victim, with a cold demeanor, was arrested by the Inquisition...

Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind, and he asked.

"Dean Xiao, what is your student's name?"

Dean Xiao thought about it for a moment, then decided it didn't matter and said...

"Her name is Qin Yu'er, and she is a victim of ice-type attacks."

A thunderbolt struck his mind, and Mo Xie's pupils suddenly contracted as all the clues converged.

I see, that makes sense now.

Qin Yu'er was indeed marked by the Holy City, and her master's wife was not discovered by the Holy City. Could it be...?

The question is, why did Qin Yu'er go to Mingzhu Academy instead of staying at the Imperial Capital Academy?

He covered half his face with his hands, his mind racing, but he still couldn't figure it out.

Forget it, we're not related, so what happens to her is none of my business.

But... why does my heart feel a piercing pain?

"What's wrong? Could it be... that you know her?"

Seeing Mo Xie's strange expression, Dean Xiao asked in confusion.

Mo Xie snapped out of her daze, organized her thoughts briefly, and said...

"How could I possibly know him? I just think Dean Xiao is exceptionally great."

"Ha, what's the use of being great? He still couldn't protect my students."

Dean Xiao shook his head, gave a self-deprecating laugh, and said sarcastically.

He then looked at Ding Yumin, his eyes full of sincerity.

"That's why I'm so concerned about this matter."

“I saw Qin Yu’er in her. The victims should not be arrested for no reason. They need to live ordinary lives.”

Mo Xie didn't reply, but turned to look at Ding Yumin and asked.

"Yu Mian, what do you think?"

Mo Xie naturally understood Dean Xiao's request. For Ding Yumin, going to Mingzhu Academy at this stage was undoubtedly a good choice.

But the decision is in her hands; whether or not to go is her choice.

Ding Yumin held Xiao's hand tightly. She could certainly feel Dean Xiao's goodwill, and she also wanted to visit other universities.

But... what will happen to Grandma if she leaves?
Her college entrance exam scores were outstanding, and she had no problem getting into a prestigious university, but her grandmother's situation always worried her.

Seeing Ding Yumin's hesitation, Mo Xie thought for a moment and then said.

"Dean Xiao, how about this, we'll give you an answer tonight, okay?"

"Of course I'm fine."
