The hero's gender is yet to be determined after rebirth.

"Sally was singled out and provoked by the Loren Care Association!"

Lorenwei and Sylph walked curiously to the bulletin board.

Holding hands, Lorenwei deliberately pulled Sylph's hand and stood together in front of the billboard.

Sylph struggled slightly, then let her lead her.

Lorenwei, who was showing off her affection on the spot, felt smug and began to look at the challenge letter posted on the bulletin board, which was signed by the Loren Care Association.

The content is simple: the Care Association has publicly challenged Sally by name, stating that they will confront her face-to-face at 7 PM tonight at the Academy Central Church to determine her status as a descendant of the Sword Saint Hero.

Lorenwei understood. It was she who had previously instructed the headmistress to arrange for someone to incite those girls.

I didn't expect the fire to be started so easily.

Well, the bullying fire that I had fueled behind the scenes has indeed begun to burn fiercely.

If she suppresses it, it might suddenly explode one day, adding to Sally's psychological pressure.

Tonight, let all doubts end.

At the very least, Sally's desire to cultivate must be calmed down, otherwise it will sooner or later become a mental hindrance to her cultivation.

The students looked at Lorenve and Sylph and started discussing it again.

"Ah, Lorenve is here."

"It seems she supports Sally."

"Yes, she was the one who accompanied the last Sword Saint Hero's relic to be appraised."

They deliberately kept their voices very low, trying their best to avoid letting Lorenwei hear them.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone around her, Lorenwei ignored the murmurs and simply smiled at Sylph, saying, "How about eating less tonight? So we can bring some snacks and treats to go to the church and watch the excitement."

Sylph nodded, but quickly asked doubtfully, "Do you think Sally will face it?"

Uh... that is a problem.

Lorenwei was also unsure.

Given Sally's personality—she never fights back when bullied—maybe she really won't go...

Chapter 258 You can escape confrontation! You don't have to be the Sword Saint's daughter!

As they left the bulletin board and headed out of the academy, both Silph and Lorenve had something on their minds.

"What should we do? Lorenve, you know Sally's temperament," Sylph asked quickly, seeing that the students around her were almost out of sight.

"Huh?" Lorenwei was taken aback.

Sylph said urgently, "What are you staring at? I'm saying that given Sally's personality, she might be afraid of facing everyone's criticism and wouldn't dare to confront them directly."

"Oh, I didn't expect you to be so worried about her. Isn't she your rival in love?"

"If you were truly a stinking egg that attracts flies, I wouldn't be able to stop you even if I tried," Sylph snorted. "I'm just indignant to see Sally being bullied by those people and not fighting back!"

Do you know why Sally doesn't fight back?

"why?"

"They only allow themselves to attack Sally. If Sally dares to retaliate in any way, they will chase after her and say that she has such a weak mentality."

Sylph exclaimed in surprise, "They were the ones who started talking about others, so why can't they do anything about it?"

"Of course not, they think they are righteous."

Sylph listened and found the logic odd.

“Those who make sarcastic remarks aren’t necessarily heinous criminals; they’re just standing on different sides and haven’t considered the other person’s feelings. Besides, there’s no way to reason with them, and the debate won’t go on.” Lorenwei stroked her chin thoughtfully. “Anyway, I think we should confront Sally at the church. Running away isn’t the solution. Let’s encourage her, and we can talk about joining the team. Haha, I have a reason to bring this up now.”

Sylph glanced at her sideways: "There's a reason to recruit girls into the team."

Lorenwei actually found her at Sally's house.

"Ah, please, please come in." Sally opened the door and, seeing that it was Lorenwei and her companion, quickly ushered them inside.

"It's Lorenve! Come quickly!" The witch mother greeted Lorenve with more affection than she would a gold coin; her attitude was beyond words.

Watching her witch mother's behavior, bustling around fetching water and food for Lorenwei, Siruf couldn't help but say to Lorenwei, "Do you believe she treats you better than she treats Sally?"

Sally's face immediately turned red.

“Auntie, you don’t need to bother. Actually, I just want to say one thing.” Lorenwei didn’t sit down anymore and went straight to the point: “Sally, I don’t know if you saw the notice board, the Loren Care Group’s church confrontation proposal?”

“…I saw it.” Sally bit her lip.

"That's good. I wanted to ask what your attitude is? Are you going or not?"

“I…I…” Sally hesitated for a long time, unable to speak.

"Don't speak so harshly, watch your tone," Siruf reminded her from the side.

Ignoring her, Lorenwei continued, "Sally, I hope you can join my Misty Sea Competition team, but the test for joining is... to participate in the confrontation between the Lorenwei Care Group and the others in the church!"

“!” Sally looked at Lorenwei in surprise.

“My team isn’t particularly valuable, but I hope that the members who join the team are people who dare to face the sharpest challenges.” Lorenwei’s expression was serious. “Sally, to verify whether a piece of gold is real gold, you have to test it with fire. If it doesn’t even dare to face the flame, it doesn’t deserve to be called real gold, regardless of whether it is actually real gold!”

Sally stared blankly at Lorenwei.

"I've finished speaking. See you at the church tonight." Lorenwei waved and pulled Sylph away.

They walked out of the house, and after taking a dozen or so steps, Sally called out from behind, "Ah, wait a minute. If I..."

Turning to look at Sally, I saw her asking softly with a nervous expression, "If it were me, not the hero's daughter..."

Lorenvie stated decisively, "My condition is that you participate in the confrontation. And my acceptance of you is not because of your status as the daughter of a sword saint. Once you go, you will be fully qualified to join my team!"

After saying that, Lorenve and Sylph left.

Sally stood in the doorway, still in a daze. The witch mother scratched her head in surprise and asked, "What is Lorenve talking about? I don't understand."

Sally did not answer her mother, but simply watched the blue-haired girl she had seen that morning leave.

It was her again this morning...

Soon, Sally clenched her fists, her gaze hardening.

At night, at the church in Moonlight Garden.

Overcrowded!

This church, which can usually accommodate two hundred worshippers at the same time, had three or four hundred people come to watch the spectacle tonight.

The students very respectfully gave up the central area, leaving it for the staff of the Loren Care Group, as well as the old priest from the church and others.

The old priest already knew the whole story. Given that the issue of the sacred relic involved the church's reputation, he also hoped to get an explanation and prevent rumors from spreading, otherwise it might turn into the church enshrining fake sacred relics.

"Lorenve is here!"

The students stirred slightly.

Lorenwei made her entrance like a star, accompanied by her three fiancées.

"It's Lorenve and her harem!"

Both boys and girls looked at the small team with envy.

"I really want to walk beside her..." one girl said wistfully.

"I wish I could be like her, surrounded by so many beautiful women," one guy said, expressing his envy.

"I really want to be with Lorenwei." There were boys from Lorenwei's fan club present.

A boy familiar to many scoffed, "Hmph, too much of a womanizer. If it were me, one true love would be enough."

“Me too, one true love is enough. (???-)_?” Another boy next to him looked at him.

"Stay away from me... (?ˉωˉ?)"

After greeting the priest, Lorenwei, along with Siluf and the other women, sat down in the empty first row, like onlookers.

"Huh? Isn't Lorenwei the host?" a student asked, puzzled.

"Why is she a host?"

"Well, I just feel that with her there, she should be in charge. That way, we can concentrate."

"Makes sense."

The moment of confrontation was drawing ever closer, but Sally still hadn't arrived.

"With so many people around, isn't she embarrassed?"

"I'd be nervous too!"

"Exactly, this is a public humiliation. I wouldn't dare come."

Many students still analyzed the situation objectively.

"They're not really not coming, are they?" Siruf asked anxiously.

Kurara asked Lorenwei, "Is Sally really that weak?"

Meilan chimed in, "Why doesn't she dare to come? If she can't win a confrontation, she can just use her fists! Might makes right!"

Lorenwei pondered for a moment: "Sally must be nearby, but if she only thinks of herself, she might not come in..."

Kurara asked, puzzled, "Huh? What do you mean?"

Sylph seemed thoughtful: "You mean her personality... if it's just about herself, she'll back down?"

“That’s right.” As the church clock began to chime, Lorenwei jumped to her feet and strode quickly along the aisle where hundreds of people had been orderly waiting. She then cupped her hands to her mouth and called out loudly, “Sally! Listen up!”

"You can avoid confrontation!"

"You don't have to be the daughter of the Sword Saint!"

"You don't have to join my team!"

"But if you really don't come in today..."

"Your mother will definitely be branded as a liar mother!"

"They'll say... Fortune teller... she really is a fortune teller!"
