Being at Hogwarts, something's not right with this system.
68. Did he fool Dumbledore?
When Lin Yu followed Professor McGonagall in, Dumbledore and Snape were standing there staring at each other, as if they had just had a fight.
When Lin Yu saw Professor McGonagall, he wondered if it was just his imagination, but he felt that Snape's eyes looked a little guilty.
At the same time, Professor McGonagall's eyes seemed to dart away.
Is something going on between these two?
Are they having an affair?
Lin Yu's mind was filled with random thoughts.
It wasn't until Dumbledore spoke that he smiled and said to Lin Yu with a kind expression, "I called you here so late; I imagine you must have many questions, right?"
Unexpectedly, Lin Yu shook his head and said calmly, "There's not much to doubt. There are only a few reasons. First, I talked back to Professor Snape in Potions class, but he didn't yell at me directly, so he must have forgiven me."
Snape snorted and looked at Lin Yu with icy eyes.
Even though he didn't yell or shout, wasn't that more dangerous?
Lin Yu continued, "Since Professor Snape has generously forgiven me, I don't think you called me here just to expel me, right? Then I guess there are two other reasons: one is the Marrow Cleansing Pill, and the other is how I know some of Professor Snape's past."
Dumbledore's eyes lit up immediately, and he said approvingly, "You're very clever, Lin Yu. But I still have to remind you, Potions is Potions, you can't concoct elixirs in Potions. Although Snape told me that your Marrow Cleansing Pill seems quite good."
It turns out that Snape not only came to question Dumbledore about Lin Yu, but he also told Dumbledore about the Marrow Cleansing Pill.
Before Lin Yu entered, Snape had roared at Dumbledore, "That student was practicing alchemy in my Potions class? Damn it, Merlin, I have no idea what alchemy is. You must warn him. Otherwise, I'll kick him out next time."
Lin Yu looked at Snape, shook his head, and said leisurely, "Professor Snape, you're such a grown man, why do you still like to tattle like a student?"
Snape scoffed, "You seem to be getting more and more rude."
From the first day of school to the morning potions class, Lin Yu seemed to have absolutely no respect for him.
It's worth noting that Snape's reputation was arguably the most unpopular of all the professors.
Aside from the students of Slytherin, the children from the other three houses had a lot of complaints about him.
After all, Snape disliked all students except Slytherin equally, and no one from the three houses had ever escaped being penalized by Snape.
He treated everyone from the other three academies equally.
Is this considered honesty?
"Alright, Snape, don't get angry with a child, or you'll make yourself look childish," Dumbledore stopped Snape, then turned to Lin Yu again, saying, "You're right, child, what you said earlier has certainly piqued our curiosity. You seem to know some...secrets?"
Dumbledore hesitated for a moment; what he really wanted to say was that it shouldn't be a secret that Lin Yu knew.
Even many wizards don't know, in fact, almost no one does.
From Snape's love for Lily, and from Snape's loss of his beloved.
Even Lily herself may not have realized Snape's feelings for her before she died.
It's likely that Lily will only learn after her death that Snape was willing to give up his Death Eater status, fear no retaliation from Voldemort, and even abandon his favorite dark magic for her sake.
Unfortunately, it was all too late.
One thing that Dumbledore is currently concerned about is that although Snape has turned to the light, he still outwardly retains his identity as a Death Eater.
However, with Voldemort's disappearance, the entire Death Eater group has also vanished.
If Voldemort really makes a comeback, Snape will definitely be an important pawn for Dumbledore.
What Dumbledore cared about was that Lin Yu might already know why Snape obeyed him, so he was very concerned about Lin Yu's identity and thoughts.
Lin Yu wondered, how should I explain this?
You're saying I've seen the movie?
That definitely won't work, right? They'll be taken to be sliced up.
Just then, the system's voice rang in Lin Yu's mind: "Quest triggered: A Choice in Life. Yao Chen Albus Percival Woolfrick Bryan Dumbledore is confirming your resolve. You have two choices: one is to wholeheartedly believe in Yao Chen and reveal all your secrets to him, or continue to conceal your own secrets, in which case you may lose Yao Chen's help."
"The rewards vary depending on the choice. Option one rewards double pupils and the Supreme Bone. Option two rewards the Great Evolution Heaven-Reaching Technique of Divine Sense."
Lin Yu frowned. The rewards for the two choices were completely unequal, weren't they?
Double pupils and supreme bones—those who have read fantasy novels know that these are not only two rewards, but each one can be said to bring immense benefits.
With double pupils, one is already invincible; why borrow the Supreme Bone?
This is enough to demonstrate the power of double pupils, and that the Supreme Bone is also quite formidable.
Even in many fantasy novels, the existence of double pupils and supreme bones represents the highest level of talent.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he has the bearing of an emperor.
In contrast, consider the Great Evolution Heaven-Reaching Technique...
"I choose option two," Lin Yu suddenly made what seemed like a foolish choice.
He did not choose the double pupils and the supreme bone, but instead chose the divine sense cultivation technique?
Lin Yu took a deep breath, made his choice in his mind, looked up at Dumbledore and Snape, and calmly said, "If I said that it was a prophecy I saw in a dream, how would you respond?"
Dumbledore unconsciously stroked his beard, muttering, "A prophetic dream? If that's what you mean, then I'd rather believe it's true."
He was speechless.
Since there is almost no way to distinguish between true and false prophetic dreams, this excuse is absolutely brilliant and has no loopholes whatsoever.
After all, Voldemort was tricked by a prophecy, which foreshadowed his defeat and failure.
Snape, somewhat exasperated, flicked his sleeve and turned to leave.
Dumbledore sighed helplessly, "He's still so impatient."
"After all, he's still just a child," Professor McGonagall sighed silently.
In fact, Snape wasn't that old; at least compared to Professor McGonagall and Dumbledore, he was still a child.
Moreover, Snape was even younger when he became the Potions teacher at Hogwarts eleven years earlier.
Lin Yu dared not speak, because he was now the real child, wasn't he?
"Minerva, take him back to sleep. By the way, Lin Yu, you'd better not refine that Marrow Cleansing Pill anymore, and don't easily reveal it to anyone," Dumbledore warned Lin Yu earnestly, "because Snape discovered that that Marrow Cleansing Pill is really extraordinary."
Lin Yu blinked and replied, "I understand, Principal."
Professor McGonagall looked intently at Lin Yu, then turned to Dumbledore and said, "It's too late, Dumbledore. All the Gryffindor students know about it now. That thing called the Marrow Cleansing Pill? You know Gryffindor can't keep secrets."
Dumbledore looked at Lin Yu with resentment, "Do you still have a single word of truth left in your mouth?"
You agreed so readily, but it was just empty talk and a hollow promise.
