As Gao Wen's market value continued to rise, he accumulated a certain reputation in the gymnasium. According to a certain senior student who was considered a "big jerk," a junior student who was ranked in the top 100 of the Cavaliers had taken a liking to him and wanted to ask him to be his sparring partner.

Gao Wen has earned a large sum of money from completing tasks these past two days. The increase in his stats has given him plenty of confidence, so he is not afraid of challenges and readily agrees to take on the task.

See you at the stadium on Monday.

On Sunday night, Buber tutored Gawain and checked his homework on basic magic.

Lighting spell, ignition spell, cleansing spell, gentle breeze spell...

Having successfully entered the third stage of meditation, he was qualified to learn these elemental magic spells that did not require sacrifice. With the help of an AI assistant, the error correction efficiency was astonishing, once again making Buber sweat profusely and exclaim that he had never seen such a monstrous talent.

At the same time, Hervy returned to her dormitory.

The overall architectural style and layout of the girls' dormitory are exactly the same as those of the boys' dormitory. It is also divided into dormitory buildings and villa areas, and students can choose suitable living conditions according to their own economic conditions.

Hervy lives in a villa area. She has the financial means, but she's reluctant to spend the money. The fact that she can live in a villa area and even bring Becky in as her roommate is all thanks to her sugar daddy.

"Herbie, where have you been these past two days? I haven't seen you since this morning."

In the living room on the first floor, sat a black-haired girl, not very old, about the same age as Hervy, and her appearance was in no way inferior.

Her long, jet-black hair cascaded down her back, the ends neatly settling at her waist without a single strand out of place. Her skin was fair and delicate, gleaming slightly under the living room lights, which made her hair and eyebrows appear even darker and more profound.

His gaze was calm, devoid of any warmth as he looked around. Beneath his high, straight nose, his lips were defined and thin, pressed into a cold, straight line, keeping people at a distance.

The whole person is like a meticulously carved jade statue, with clear black and white lines, quietly embedded at the intersection of light and shadow.

At first glance, this young lady seems cold and unapproachable, but upon closer inspection, her aloof and elegant demeanor exudes an indescribable charm.

In terms of clothing, her upper body was dressed in a neat and clean student uniform. Although not as eye-catching as Hervy's, it was still not to be underestimated. Her lower body was dressed in a long skirt of women's school uniform, which went past her knees and only revealed a section of her calves. Black stockings covered her legs, revealing no skin at all.

If Gao Wen were here, he would immediately spot the highlight and find the girl in black stockings.

Lily Litasia.

According to her student profile, she is Herwi's older sister, who has received a five-star rating, but there is really no resemblance in appearance or personality.

At a glance, Hervy is like the summer sun, fiery and flamboyant, with an irresistible aggressiveness; Lily is like the cold moon on a winter night, aloof and detached, exuding a tranquility and estrangement that makes people hesitant to approach her.

Even their way of getting along is unlike that of ordinary sisters.

At this moment, Lily held a thick, advanced potion-making book in her hands, "On the Seven Methods of Purifying Dragon's Blood Grass," her fingertips lightly touching the pages, her movements elegant, but her gaze was firmly fixed on Hervy, who had just entered the room.

Clearly, she had been waiting for Hervy for a long time.

His calm gaze carried an invisible pressure, along with a hint of helplessness, as if he were a parent who was deeply worried.

If you hit them, you'll feel bad; if you spoil them, they'll become unruly.

Beside the sofa was Becky, who was pouring black tea. During the day, she was the editor-in-chief and secretary of the news agency, and at night she was the maid and personal assistant in the dormitory, responsible for making black tea for Lily.

It all started during Becky's freshman year. Her family wasn't well-off, and Lily needed someone to make her tea. So, Becky moved into the villa and became a maid, and Lily, as her benefactor, sponsored all her tuition fees.

As for the unfortunate job of editor-in-chief and president's secretary, it was purely because Hervy saw that Becky was useful and hardworking, so she forcibly borrowed her.

That's the reality: if you can endure hardship, there will be endless hardship to endure.

"Ah, Lily, I miss you so much after just one day apart."

Hervy cheered and plopped down on the sofa, bumping Lily so hard that half of her body was bent to one side. Then their faces were pressed together, quickly turning Lily's long, straight black hair into a mess.

Lily's eyes twitched, helpless. She moved aside and blew the steam from her teacup. "Stop trying to be cute. I told you long ago, you're not cute at all. Where have you been these past few days? Why haven't I seen you?"

"I went to find Gawain."

"Gawain..."

Lily had heard of this name before and had seen it in the school newspaper. She knew that the person was Hervy's trusted confidant and had put a lot of effort into the school newspaper's ever-increasing sales.

Another unfortunate kid being exploited!

Lily made her own assessment and took a sip of her black tea.

"I've been at Gao Wen's place for the past two days. He treated me to Jianbing Guozi (Chinese crepes) from my hometown, as well as braised pork and bananas!" Herwi said innocently.

"puff---"

Lily spat out the black tea she had just put in her mouth, whether from choking or from the vulgarity of the lines, her face turned bright red.

"Hey, Lily, did you think of something weird?"

You're the strange one!

Lily glared at Herville, embarrassed and angry, and took the handkerchief Becky offered to cover her mouth and nose: "Don't say things that are so easy to misunderstand next time, especially not in front of others."

"other people?"

"For example, Gao Wen, these are things that cannot be mentioned."

"So what? I just love seeing Gao Wen look constipated after I tell him, just like you. He really thinks I don't know." Herwi grinned mischievously. What big stick, what banana, and what president? She's not stupid, how could she not understand?

"..."

Lily raised her hand to cover her face, utterly speechless. Then, as if struck by a thought, she stared at Hervy in surprise, looking her up and down: "You...you wouldn't have fallen for him, would you?"

"what?!"

Hervy's face darkened: "What nonsense are you talking about? Why would I like Gawain? Besides being a little handsome, a little humorous, a little good at making money, and a little knowledgeable in chaos magic, what's so great about him?"

He's handsome, eloquent, good at making money, and even knows chaos magic—what's wrong with that?

Lily was about to retort when she suddenly frowned: "He has mastered chaos magic... It wasn't mentioned in the school newspaper, did you cover it up for him?"

"Yes, I also exchanged secrets of chaos magic with him."

Hervy pouted: "That guy is not honest at all. I told him everything, but he insisted that he was the god of wishes and could grant me one wish."

"..."

Lily remained silent, completely bewildered. Despite her repeated warnings, Hervy still confided her biggest secret to a stranger.

Oh no, if this isn't liking someone, then what is?

"By the way, Lily, chaos magic is very rare. Is it possible that when we graduate, we could knock Gawain unconscious and take him away?"

Hervy, in a businesslike manner and without a trace of personal emotion, said with a serious face, "Based on my observations over the past two days, he possesses an extraordinary learning ability and an astonishing talent in magic. Leaving him unattended will only benefit someone else!"

"..."

You don't want to give it to someone else, you just want his body!

Chapter 46 The Scent of the Sun

You just want his body!

You're despicable!

Lily felt contempt in her heart; the truth would hurt, but she couldn't bear to say it. She took a sip of red tea and swallowed it down.

Moreover, she knew very well that Hervy was unaware that she was developing feelings for Gawain and genuinely believed that her closeness to him stemmed from a love for his talent and money.

It's just an excuse for being young and ignorant, a lack of understanding!

Some things are clearer to outsiders, and pointing them out to her face is useless, especially for Lily, who is both an older sister and a mother. She knows that if she says one thing, Hervy will say ten. What you think is for her own good is seen as unreasonable and going against her.

Going against them is a means to an end; the real goal is to solidify one's absolute authority within the family.

After all, she believes that she has grown up, is sensible, and needs a voice and respect.

"Blah blah..."

"Waabi waabi..."

Herwi said a lot of good things about Gawain, and in summary, the young man was a good person, smart and capable, and he could earn money while doing work. It would be a real pity not to keep him by their side and use him for their own purposes.

Lily didn't utter a single rebuttal throughout the entire process; whenever she did try to argue, she would take a sip of black tea to suppress it.

"Lily, say something!"

You're absolutely right.

"Right? I knew you were the best."

“It’s too hasty to settle things now. Gao Wen has his own life. He’s an independent individual and you can’t make arrangements for him… Don’t be impatient. I’m not saying it’s impossible, but we need to wait a little longer. You know he’s only a freshman this year,” Lily said calmly.

The reasoning was too profound, so profound that Hervy couldn't find any reason to refute it. Helplessly, she muttered, "In any case, we have to go to the fiefdom. In name, you can recruit three knights at the school, but you must reserve one position for Gawain."

"can."

Lily readily agreed, but then added another "but": "You know our situation. I don't need useless people under my command. If Gawain is no good, and you insist on taking him away, it will only harm him."

"It will work, and it will work even if it doesn't work."

Over the course of Saturday and Sunday, Herwi witnessed Gao Wen's progress and firmly believed that he was no ordinary genius. She thought that within a year, she would cultivate him into the second most notorious bully in the South District.

Seeing that Lily had a good impression of Gawain and didn't have any bad feelings about him, Hervy felt relieved for some reason and was in a very good mood. She hummed a little tune as she went upstairs.

After he left, Lily asked Becky, who was standing next to her, how Gawain was doing at the news agency, whether he had deliberately tried to get close to Hervy, and told her everything she had seen, no matter how small.

Gawain's motives for joining the news agency were indeed impure; his goal was the school press pass. After obtaining the pass, he either skipped work every day or used interviewing Hill as an excuse to work overtime in his dorm. Becky had only seen Gawain a handful of times, so asking her to evaluate his character was quite difficult for her.

He told the whole story in detail, without embellishment or spreading rumors, and recounted everything he had seen.

Lily listened without saying a word, and after Becky returned to her bedroom to rest, she quietly leaned against the sofa.

For some reason, Becky turned off all the lights on the first floor before going upstairs, including the ceiling light in the living room.

At midnight, Lily sat in the dark living room, moonlight streaming in through the window, half her face shrouded in shadow, her expression shifting between anger and uncertainty: "Chaotic magic that grants wishes?"

absurd!

Even though chaos magic is all-encompassing, and there's nothing it can't do, and no magic is too outrageous to be considered outrageous, the idea of ​​a god of wishes is just too absurd.

It's obviously made up!

Herwi has revealed everything; she can't let this kid get away with it for nothing.

Furthermore, according to Becky, Hervy had accessed Gawain's file, which clearly showed his dormitory room numbers, and that his two roommates were not ordinary people.

Especially Hugh, this third prince, although he is extremely low-key and will never become king, his status as the third in line to the throne is undeniable, and ordinary people cannot possibly be his roommate.

Gao Wen is definitely not an ordinary person. His meager information is clearly the result of someone deliberately covering up his background. He must have come from a distinguished family and is by no means an ordinary nobleman.

"If you were concealing his identity, why did you arrange for him to enter the royal family's dormitory...?"

"If the royal family values ​​his family's power and wants to win him over, the third prince is not a suitable heir..."
