"Yes, it's been resold, so it definitely wasn't left by Sally's father."
"The butler's words are absolutely credible! Sally is a fake hero's daughter!"
Even the girls who had long bullied Sally were shouting joyfully:
"It must be that Sariel's fortune-telling mother bought a sacred relic and dared to impersonate the hero's daughter!"
"Sariel is a fraud!"
No one could question the butler's words.
As everyone knows, the Butler wouldn't lie about such serious matters. His status wouldn't warrant lying.
The priest gestured to the students in the liturgical hall to lower their voices and control the flow of the conversation. Then he turned to Sally and asked, "Sally, do you have anything to say in your defense?"
Sally's face was flushed, tears welled up in her eyes, and she was about to cover her face and rush out at any moment.
"Don't rush." Lorenwei stood beside her and gently patted her shoulder.
Sylph stood on her other side and took Sally's hand.
The two didn't have a deep relationship, but Sylph was a person who hated evil and knew that Sylph was often bullied and that it wasn't intentional. So out of pity, she would stand by her side and give her psychological support, but she wouldn't help her lie.
"Wait a minute. I have a question." At this moment, a female teacher came out.
It turned out to be Yu Shihuangsi, the counselor of Lorenwei's class, who walked out from the corner of the chapel.
As she walked toward the front of the church, her gaze lingered for a moment on the female students who had bullied Sally, her stare so intense that they dared not look her in the eye.
Although gossip is popular at Moonlight Academy, the overall atmosphere is still quite positive.
Yu Shihuang reached the front and asked directly, "Although Sally isn't my student, I've had contact with her, especially during registration. I was there and personally witnessed and heard her mother announce her identity as the daughter of a hero. Now, it seems the truth has been revealed, but there's something I don't understand... I want to ask: Why is everyone targeting her?!"
These words moved even Lorenwei deeply.
Yu Shihuangsi had always given Lorenwei the impression of being cunning and mercenary, even bordering on the headmaster's lackey. Now, she'd actually stepped forward... Ah! I see!
Lorenwei instantly understood: Yu Shihuangsi believed that she was supporting Sally, so she chose to stand on Sally's side!
Sure enough, there's no shortage of clever people in the world. This means I'm now indebted to her.
“I’ve been a teacher for over ten years and have seen all kinds of students.” Yu Shihuang’s gaze swept across the room as she spoke loudly, “Some students, either to save face or to gain favor and recognition, will raise their status too high. This kind of thing happens every year. But so far, only Sally has captured everyone’s attention.”
Everyone listened quietly.
"I hope everyone thinks about whether we really need to push her to this point? Gathering all here, uncovering the truth, collectively condemning and criticizing her, and then leaving her battered and bruised? I want to prove one thing: before registering, Sally herself didn't know she was the daughter of a hero; she was more surprised than anyone else! So I think, even if she was lying, it was her mother who lied! Sally shouldn't be the one to bear the blame!"
After hearing this, many students thought about it seriously and it seemed to make sense...
Before anyone could think about it, the girls who were bullying them shouted:
"But her fortune-telling mother lied for her sake!"
"Yes! She took advantage of that to gain a huge advantage!"
"If she weren't the daughter of a hero, would Sally have caught Lorenve's eye?"
"Yeah, they wouldn't even notice her! Joining the team is out of the question!"
Many students also felt that it was acceptable for Sally, as a beneficiary, to be condemned.
Yu Shihuang tried to argue that generalizations shouldn't be made, but the crowd disagreed, and she retreated helplessly to the side.
The school has a free atmosphere, and as long as they don't do anything too outrageous, it's not appropriate to use one's position as a teacher to force them.
“You are so righteous!” a woman’s voice said in a deep voice.
The voice was not loud; only some students nearby heard it.
However, everyone saw that Lorenwei's magical elf companion also stepped out from beside Sally and stood in front.
“Lorenve told me before that some people just can’t be reasoned with, and it’s really true!” Sylph said with a hint of anger. “Are you even reasonable anymore?”
The female leader of the care group said, "Of course we're reasonable. Sally isn't the daughter of a hero, and she's engaged in fraudulent activities—that's the conclusion. What, are we wrong to condemn her? At least we haven't laid a hand on her."
"So, are you all going to say she's being overly sensitive? You're clearly just trying to bully her, what excuse are you making?!" Siluf's beautiful eyes widened. "Why is everyone so focused on Sally? Is it because she's pretty? Or because she's gentle? Or because... her mother is a fortune teller?!"
Sally's tears fell.
As soon as Sylph finished speaking, the room fell silent for a moment.
This hits the nail on the head.
Many students, upon reflection, realized that this was indeed the most important point.
Sylph's voice gradually rose, her words flying like a barrage of arrows: "How could the daughter of a fortune teller possibly be the daughter of a hero?!"
"The key point is that the Diviner's daughter has gained even more favor from Lorenwei! She's joined the seeded teams for the Misty Sea Competition! This is just too painful, isn't it?"
"So, let's all work together to find her weaknesses! Once we've identified her flaws, we can attack her together! Right?"
"All the races on the continent say that humans have the greatest creativity. But now I think that humans have the greatest jealousy!"
Her gaze swept over the group of girls in the care group, her intense eyes burning so hard that they dared not look directly at her.
The female elf surveyed the surrounding area, and no one dared to challenge her.
Sylph walked back to Sally's side and said slowly, "Although I am not the team leader, I dare say that Sally is a member of our team, and this confrontation will not change that! Regardless of whether she is the daughter of a hero or not, and the fact that she was able to enter is not because of her status as the daughter of a hero!"
After saying this, Sylph didn't even need to ask Lorenvie for her opinion.
She was certain that Lorenve would think the same way she did.
The church is now quiet for the time being.
Sylph's imposing presence actually suppressed the atmosphere of the entire venue.
The female leader then stepped forward decisively to regain her composure: "Miss Sylph is absolutely right. Perhaps we were all a little jealous. Is that our fault? Actually, we were just concerned about Lorenve and worried that there might be fraudsters around her."
At this point, Lorenwei could say: I don't need it.
But she just watched without saying a word.
The female leader glanced furtively at Lorenwei, and seeing that she didn't refute, she felt slightly relieved. Adopting a righteous and indignant demeanor, she loudly proclaimed, "Using the title of the Hero's Daughter is nothing but deception! Miss Sally's relic is a fake, beyond question! A fake is a fake, it's fraud! Can't we just call her a big liar?!"
Sally covered her face, her body trembling slightly, truly ashamed to face him.
Sylph wanted to say something more in defense of Sally, but found it difficult to refute.
The female leader turned to Lorenwei, adjusted her glasses, and blushed slightly: "Lorenwei, I hope you understand. Maybe we're meddling, maybe we're just being presumptuous, but we're a group of people who secretly like you. We don't want any fraudsters to lurk around you, and we don't want you to be in a situation where you could be deceived at any time! We... are doing this for your own good!"
The female group leader's words, which sounded like a confession, made many of the girls in the care group nod in agreement.
Lorenwei smiled and nodded: "I understand."
The female leader was overjoyed.
Lorenwei continued to smile.
The girls in the care group were overjoyed.
It seems everything has been settled!
The girls who were bullying the other girl almost wanted to dance with glee.
Sally was inevitably targeted by Wan Niang!
The fortune teller's daughter is no good at all! She's a traitor who deceives the world and impersonates the hero's daughter!
However, Lorenwei's next words stunned the girls.
“I’m not sure if Sally is lying,” Lorenwei said, stepping forward and raising her voice. “I have a penchant for strange and unusual things, like alchemists’ mechanisms. I just happened to see this relic. Didn’t anyone notice that it has a mechanism on it?”
All eyes were on the relic.
Lorenwei pointed to the side of the relic.
Due to limitations in the world's manufacturing processes, screws are not widely available. This relic is a hard drive enclosure, complete with screws for inserting and securing the hard drive.
The old priest said, "It does indeed look like there's some kind of mechanism involved."
The steward tried his best to see, but due to his advanced age, he couldn't see clearly.
Lorenwei asked a few of her classmates who studied alchemy, "Does anyone know what kind of mechanism this is? Let's try it out and see what it is?"
Under Lorenwei's guidance, students quickly unscrewed the screws.
The alchemy students exclaimed joyfully, "The mechanism can be opened! It seems to be like a drawer!"
"Could there be something inside?!" several students in the front row exclaimed.
The people in the church suddenly surged forward.
Fortunately, the students had received some training; otherwise, they might have been injured in the trampling.
Students studying alchemy are attempting to extract the contents of the relic.
"Don't move! Be careful, there are restrictions!" Lorenwei suddenly warned.
The student's fingers trembled in fright.
The relic tilted, opening a tiny crack.
whoosh—
A domineering sword aura leaked out from the gap, like a sharp little hurricane surging through the church, making people's clothes shake wildly.
Deacon Huo exclaimed, "I can sense the aura of a Sword Saint Warrior!"
Chapter 261 The Hero's Words of Perspective Through Time and Space
The moment the relic was opened, the sword energy it released caused a small hurricane to sweep through the church.
Many girls' hair was blown up, and some girls instinctively held down their skirts.
Many boys, however, were staring in Lorenwei's direction, secretly exclaiming: Wow, Vivi's long blue hair is blowing in the wind, it looks so good!
Some of the teachers watching the commotion whispered among themselves.
"The sword aura of a sword saint and hero! I never imagined this sacred relic would have such a mechanism!"
"Were neither the previous buyers nor sellers aware of this mechanism?"
"You don't know, do you? You need to have the skills of an alchemist to tell the difference, and you also need to have the courage to tamper with a sacred relic."
One swordsmanship teacher even closed his eyes, focusing intently on the lingering sword energy in the air. After a long while, he opened his eyes and exclaimed excitedly, "I've grasped the sword intent of a sword saint!"
