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

Craftsmanship... Sally's heart seemed to recall something, and her face flushed slightly.

These were things her mother had told her, but she couldn't tell outsiders.

I must be overthinking it.

Sally made a very accurate judgment in her mind.

Kurara came over and patted Sally on the shoulder: "You wait, I'll get Lorenve to cook eighteen dishes in three sentences."

"Huh? Eighteen dishes?" Sally exclaimed in surprise.

"Just watch," Kurara said confidently as she opened the door and went inside.

Sylph pulled Sally inside. This was Sally's first time entering the small villa in many days.

Meilan followed behind, still tilting her head as if deep in thought, seemingly not yet fully free from her state of enlightenment.

Inside the door, Lorenwei was sitting in a chair posing with a righteous expression.

“Sally doesn’t believe your cooking is better than the cafeteria’s.” That was Kurara’s first words as she entered the room.

“…” Lorenwei got up, rolled up her sleeves and went to the kitchen.

"Huh?" Kurara was a little surprised.

You went to the kitchen so quickly? I only said one sentence.

"Wow, that's amazing! Kurara, you really know Lorenvey." Sally exclaimed in surprise.

"Haha, it's alright." Kurala wanted to say something else, but Lorenwei went to cook after hearing just one sentence.

Sylph snorted from the side: "Because this guy has a little bit of pride in him."

Once at the table, Sally quietly counted the dishes.

Goodness, six dishes! Kula was right, she got Lorenwei to make eighteen dishes in just three sentences. She only said one sentence, and that's six dishes already.

After tasting the food, Sally had to admit that it was truly delicious. Objectively speaking, it was not only better than the cafeteria food, but even better than her own mother's cooking.

After the meal, Sally volunteered to wash the dishes and clean up with Sylph.

"I'm so envious of you guys," Sally muttered.

Sylph glanced at her but didn't reply.

Sally stopped talking.

After lunch, Kurala took Sally for a walk.

Whether intentionally or not, Kurara led Sariel up to the bedroom on the second floor and showed her the large bed.

The small bed in the corner is easily overlooked; everyone's attention is focused on the big bed.

“Ah…” Sally blushed quietly.

Sally, of course, didn't notice that there were only three pillows on the bed. In fact, the middle pillow was rarely used either; Meilan preferred to sleep on the sofa.

"They're so bold! They're still students and they actually live together, even in the same bed," Sally thought.

As she introduced the area, Kurara wiped the gemstone ring on her finger with a handkerchief from the wall, and even mentioned that the ring was handmade by Lorenwei.

Sally had even more to think about.

After resting for a while, Sally took her leave.

However, after leaving, Sally didn't go far immediately. Instead, she walked slowly through the nearby grove with her hands behind her back, lost in thought.

Under the moonlight, she sat on a rock, propping her chin on her hand, lost in thought for a long time.

Just as she was lost in thought, footsteps sounded in the distance.

Sally was startled, but did not get up.

"Tell me properly, have you regained your memories or not?" asked Sylph.

Lorenwei's voice. "Hey, let's not go too far, or Kurara will get suspicious."

Sally was surprised, but dared not stand up.

If someone finds you still nearby after you've already said goodbye, wouldn't that arouse suspicion?

It was also because Sylph had lost most of her power that Lorenwei felt guilty and didn't notice that there were people nearby.

They placed too much faith in the nearby protective barrier.

"Stop making excuses, answer me now! Do you have memories of your past life?!" Siruf pressed.

Memories of a past life? Sally listened with curiosity.

Lorenwei stammered, "Uh... how did you come up with this?"

"Don't give me that! Do you think I couldn't see your sword intent in that sword strike during the day?"

"Haha, you can tell I have a lot of talent for swordsmanship, right?"

"Still trying to hide it from me? Are you deaf?"

"Oh dear, I said! Good... Oh dear, your strength is even greater than in my past life."

"As expected, you have memories of your past life."

"Just a little."

"A little bit? Yeah, right!"

"Somewhat."

"Come on, you're carrying memories from your past life! I knew it! When you were little, you kept pestering me to suck your mouth and wouldn't sleep. Turns out it was you, you lecherous scoundrel, having a fit!"

"Ouch—be gentle!"

"Don't you have any resemblance to a sword saint? Taking advantage of others by claiming to be reincarnated? When I was in your tent in my past life, who was the one who remained unmoved by your advances? Oh right, you're the one who taught me how to remain unmoved by your advances!"

"Haha, don't be angry. Actually, you have to understand men. They all have a bit of lust in them."

“I understand, but…” Sylph suddenly realized what he meant: “Wait, Aisser…you lecherous scoundrel, die!”

"Oh dear—I'm a respectable person. It was a necessary part of growing up when I was young, but I'm not a pervert now."

"You're a pervert! Isn't Sally the mistress you've been eyeing?"

"Little Four?" Sally had been confused all along, and now she was even more bewildered. What was "Little Four"?

"No! I only plan to marry the three of you. I'm afraid my body won't be able to handle more than that."

Sylph retorted angrily, "Bah! Don't make us sound like wolves and tigers!"

"Pshaw, that's not necessarily true."

Lorenwei screamed again.

"You damned Mu Zhe! You're a complete blockhead! Even after being reborn as a beautiful woman, you're still this lecherous! You even tampered with the sacred artifacts, turning Sally into the Sword Saint's daughter! Ah! I get it, isn't it what you said before, that you should ask if it's big enough when you're happiest? Call me daddy? That would be more exciting. Right?"

"Oops——"

Sylph chased after Lorenve, and the two ran far away again.

Sally stood frozen in place for a long time, pondering and thinking for a while before finally understanding what it meant...

Is Lorenwei... the reincarnation of the Sword Saint Mu Zhe?

Chapter 278 Siruf: You owed me in your past life!

Is Lorenwei the reincarnation of the Sword Saint Mu Zhe?

Once the thought entered Sally's mind, it became impossible to suppress.

Various speculations have emerged.

The relic was actually hers? Then that sword aura...

Sylph said she tampered with the relics, could it be...?

So, the identity of my Sword Saint's daughter was entirely fabricated by her...

Sally felt her mind was a bit of a mess.

Although she couldn't understand anything about being big or small, or calling him "Dad," according to her previous assumptions, Lorenwei had fabricated the identity of the Sword Saint's daughter for her own sake.

Sally returned home somewhat dazed.

It was still that same small, dilapidated house, but there were new flyers posted at the entrance.

[The Sword Saint's Daughter's Hut!]

[Members of the champion team in the Misty Sea competition!]

I can recognize the handwriting; it was posted by my own mother.

Sally's mother had been watching the game live. Although her daughter had lost, her team had still won. She was so excited that she went home and wrote new promotional materials.

"Hey, Sally, why are you back?" The witch mother was very surprised to see her daughter return. "Aren't you Lorenvie's teammate? Strike while the iron is hot tonight, don't come back!"

“…” Sally remained silent, and sat there blankly inside the house.

Her mother kept nagging in her ear, naturally hoping that she could marry Lorenwei.

Sally remained silent, lost in her own thoughts.

Before going to bed that night, Sally probed a few more times. She was certain that there were countless suspicious points surrounding her mother's relationship with the Sword Saint.

For a moment, Sally even wanted to say to her mother: Please stop lying.

But then Sally suddenly remembered Lorenve's words of comfort: What more can you ask of a mother who raised you?

"Mom, thank you." Sally suddenly said this again before going to sleep.

The witch's mother asked, puzzled, "Thank me? Thank me for what?"

Sally smiled.

Lying is wrong.

But lies told for the good of others should not be simply labeled as good or bad.

However, one should at least be grateful for the lie that is meant to be a good one.
