Ivy stared at Nemo speechlessly, not continuing his conversation.

At this moment, Xie Bai walked to her side and waved to her.

"Forget it, Ivy. At least he's trying his best for the Fate system, so let's not make things difficult for him."

"Okay... then."

Faced with Xie Bai's dissuasion, Ivy could only take a deep breath and step aside.

Nemo was surprised to see Xie Bai suddenly appear and help him out of the predicament.

"It's you, sir? I didn't expect you to come back too. Thank you so much for your help earlier..."

"Stop."

Xie Bai suddenly interrupted Nemo's polite words, staring straight at him and asking.

"I'm asking you, how did Gami and the others come here to welcome the new students?"

Upon hearing this, Nemo, who had just caught his breath, froze again.

"Oh, this, this..."

In an instant, a bead of cold sweat slid down his forehead.

At this moment, his panic far exceeded that he had felt when he was facing Ivy.

Because he knew that no matter how angry Teacher Ivy was, she would eventually let them go because of her soft heart, and the price was not unbearable.

But Xie Bai is different.

To him, Xie Bai's way of speaking—first helping him out of a predicament, then suddenly questioning him—was a bit frightening.

Thinking about how Gami and the others had left without saying a word, Nemo seemed to realize something, and his expression became even more tense.

Seeing Nemo's alarmed expression, Xie Bai tilted his head in confusion.

After noticing what Nemo was worried about, she casually waved her hand.

"It's alright, I won't hold it against you. Besides, I've already given my tacit approval for Jia Mi and the others to do as they please. I'm just a little curious how they agreed to let you come here to welcome the new students. Is it because you can play cards with lots of people and crush noobs here?"

When Xie Bai asked him a question, Nemo glanced at Ivy beside him, seemingly considering his words.

By this time, Kelos had finished his other business and, seeing that Nemo seemed to be in some kind of predicament, walked over without thinking.

"Oh? So it's you back, sir. I thought something had happened here. By the way, were you discussing Gami and the others just now?"

At this point, Kelos suddenly became interested.

"To be honest, those two junior school girls are really great people."

"Nemo and I were originally worried about the future development of the Destiny system, but one day Gami and the others came to us and asked to borrow our Destiny cards, because the Destiny cards we make are the best in the entire continent."

"Then they suggested that since the Western Continent is still under reconstruction and various industries have not recovered so quickly, we can take this opportunity to vigorously promote the Destiny Cards, earn money and develop the influence of the Destiny system at the same time. It turned out that this method was indeed quite successful."

"Not only that, after they heard about the upcoming orientation day, they offered to help us plan the orientation activities. As you can see, the Destiny Department, which was originally so quiet, has attracted so many people."

"If it weren't for Gami and the others helping us, Nemo and I might still be struggling with what to do next with the Fate System. And yet they didn't ask for anything in return. I really don't know how to praise them enough."

As he spoke, Kelos revealed a cheerful smile, making it impossible to tell what he had gone through the previous night.

Just as Kelos was about to continue speaking, he suddenly caught sight of Ivy, who had a dark expression on her face.

"Hey? Ms. Ivy, what are you doing here? Are these two your friends...?"

Before he could finish speaking, Xie Bai suddenly changed the subject.

"By the way, isn't Neferi supposed to be at the front welcoming the new students? I feel like if she were here, at least half of the freshmen would have stayed."

Faced with this question, Kelos suddenly felt something was off.

"Her? Forget it. She's been acting strangely since this morning, muttering things we can't understand. Nemo and I were worried about her, so we brought her here, but we've only arranged for her to stay in the back, just in case something unexpected happens."

Hearing Kairos's answer, Xie Bai nodded, then looked behind him.

The tiny Neferi was curled up in the corner, seemingly muttering something like, "Damn it, why can't I confirm the existence of the Shadow World anymore?" "I put in so much effort before." "What's going on? Wasn't I originally a Shadow type?" "It's all a mess, I might as well just stop living."

Seeing this, Xie Bai glanced back at his own shadow, then pretended to be nonchalant and said...

"Hmm... I see. Okay then. I have nothing else to do, so I'll take my leave now."

With that, Xie Bai waved to the people beside him and left the area.

Watching the others leave with Xie Bai, Ivy glared at Kairos and the others before quickly following them.

Faced with this scene, Kelos was still somewhat confused.

"Nemo, what's wrong with Teacher?"

Nemo didn't answer his question, but just shook his head with a slightly helpless expression.

"It's nothing. Instead of worrying about that, you should focus on how to organize the orientation activities for the next two days."

……

After walking a distance, Krysos suddenly came to Ivy's side and whispered something with a hint of malice.

"Wow, Ivy's Fate System is really powerful! It's almost become a pillar industry of the Western Continent. Should I offer some help? Don't worry, I have some skills when it comes to making money..."

Ivy glanced at Chrisos speechlessly as she listened to her "suggestion".

"You... never mind."

She seemed to have lost all her strength and began to look at Xie Bai helplessly.

"Um... Big sister, when can we leave here? I'm a little... not wanting to stay any longer."

Hearing Ivy's explanation, Xie Bai turned his head in confusion.

"Hmm? Weren't you begging me to let you stay a little longer just a while ago? Why are you changing your tune now?"

"Uh... that's true, but the problem is..."

"Alright, there's still one place we haven't visited yet. We'll discuss leaving after we've finished that last place."

"Well... okay."

Ivy lowered her head in dejection.

Now she actually regretted her decision. If she had known there would be so many unpleasant things here, she wouldn't have wasted so much breath and stayed a little longer.

Seeing that Ivy didn't say anything more, Xie Bai withdrew his gaze and focused his attention on the forum interface in front of him.

Ever since she saw that there were a lot of players at the Fate system recruitment point, she had been curious about what the player community thought of this place.

Especially after discovering that Gami was also there, she became even more suspicious of the real reason why this place attracted so many players.
