It's so hard being a hero!

Thinking of this, Sophia suddenly stood up straight and made a decision.

Instead of guessing here, we should go back and see for ourselves.

Sophia turned and walked out of the deserted corner, heading back along the stone path.

Finally, she returned to the door of room 307, paused for a moment, and then reached out and pushed the door open.

The moment the door opened, a warm, moist scent wafted out, carrying a faint fragrance of soapberry.

Evelyn has already finished her shower.

She changed into a light-colored silk nightgown, leaned against the headboard, holding a book in her hand, her posture particularly casual and relaxed, as if she had lived there for a very long time.

And she wasn't shy at all; this woman looked young, but she had a very hot figure.

However, Sofia had no interest in this at all.

Upon hearing the door open, Evelyn looked up and gave Sophia a gentle smile.

"Sophia, you're back?"

She greeted Sophia naturally, without any hint of deliberate gesture.

Sophia gave a stiff smile, then closed the door and sat down on her bed.

After sitting down, she subtly smelled the scent in the air while quietly releasing her senses.

Then, she froze.

Because the desire that once made Evelyn instinctively wary of her had now completely vanished.

She couldn't feel anything at all.

Even more outrageous is that, instead, there is a particularly warm and pure aura.

This is the power of light.

Moreover, it's not just ordinary light power; it's sacred light power with an astonishingly high purity.

Sophia was completely stunned. To hide her panic, she quickly turned her head to the side and lay down on the bed.

"Damn it, is there something wrong with my senses? Such a dense power of light, I'm probably only one step away from becoming a Child of Light."

According to Sophia's perception, the purity of the light power within Evelyn is even higher than her current light power.

You have to understand, she was the Child of Light in her previous life. Back then, no one dared to say that the purity of her power of light was second to none.

The light emanating from this woman was almost as pure as it had been during her peak in her previous life.

Do the people of the Temple of Desire possess such a strong power of light?

How is that possible?

Sofia's first thought was: This is a disguise, what method was used to create this illusion?

But she immediately dismissed the idea.

She had dealt with the power of light for half her previous life, so how could she not tell the difference between the real and the fake?

This warm and pure aura that seeps into your very bones cannot be fake.

But what concerned her even more was something else.

A strange sense of closeness suddenly welled up inside her. It wasn't the kind of affection that arose from the other person being good-looking or a nice person; it was a deeper, almost instinctive sense of intimacy.

It feels like we're connected by blood.

This feeling was strange; she had only experienced a similar closeness when she was with Leila.

Although Lyra's personality is completely different from Evelyn's, the subtle connection from their blood gives Sofia a sense of déjà vu.

Sophia forced herself to calm down, suppressing those surging thoughts deep in her heart.

After thinking about it, she decided to take the initiative and try to get information out of him.

"Um, Ms. Evelyn, may I ask you a question?"

Evelyn was immediately taken aback.

"go ahead."

"You possess a strong power of light, and you also have a high concentration of light element attributes."

Evelyn's gaze lingered on Sophia's face for a moment, a hint of surprise in her expression.

"You can feel it?"

"Ah."

Sophia nodded.

"My light element purity is decent, so I'm quite sensitive to similar forces."

Evelyn looked at her, a complex expression flashing in her purple-gold eyes, but it was quickly covered by a gentle smile.

"Ok."

She closed the book and placed it on her lap, her tone tinged with self-deprecation.

"I do know light magic, which is one of the few things I can be proud of. As for potion-making, that's a skill I learned later."

Upon hearing this, Sophia's doubts only deepened instead of dissipating.

A pharmacist, and a level nine pharmacist at that, actually claims that his specialty is light magic?

Something about this doesn't sound right at all.

But she didn't press further; she simply nodded and added a comment following the conversation.

"That's really impressive. You're so proficient in both light magic and potion-making. No wonder the academy invited you to teach here."

Evelyn smiled and didn't continue the topic, but instead casually asked about Sophia's studies.

Ask her how far she's progressed in pharmacy studies, and if there's anything she doesn't understand.

The two chatted for a while longer, then Evelyn picked up her book again and started reading, while Sophia lay down on the bed, closed her eyes, and pretended to sleep.

But her senses never returned; like a thin film of water, they enveloped the entire room.

She kept a close eye on Evelyn's every move.

Evelyn seemed to be genuinely reading, occasionally turning a page, her movements quiet and natural, without any unusual behavior.

Sophia lay in the darkness, her mind replaying the things she had just felt.

The power of light, the power of light with extremely high purity, and that inexplicable sense of closeness.

She suddenly remembered something.

In her previous life, during the three months she was imprisoned by Lilith as Su Lan, Lilith mentioned the word "fusion" to her more than once.

The fusion of desire and light.

At the time, she thought Lilith was just toying with her mind, deliberately saying vague and unrealistic things to torment her.

But looking back now, the look in Lilith's eyes when she said those words, that anticipation and excitement, didn't seem fake.

What would happen if desire and light were combined? She had never seriously considered this question.

But at that moment, a thought that sent chills down her spine suddenly popped into her mind.

The fact that Evelyn's aura was almost identical to Lilith's, along with the incredibly pure power of light within her, all appearing in the same person, was abnormal in itself.

The problem is, she just can't figure it out.

This is too unreasonable. How can a person possess two completely opposing forces at the same time and not be backfired?

It's like how a person can't be both ice and fire at the same time.

Unless there is a mechanism she cannot understand that reconciles these two forces.

Sophia's thoughts became increasingly chaotic, her mind a complete mess, and her head began to ache.

Chapter 89 The Assassination Plan of Two Saint Realm Experts

Sophia's mental focus remained fixed on Evelyn throughout the entire night.

It was as if she would be in danger if she were out of his sight.

But she found that Evelyn was already asleep, as if she hadn't been targeted at her at all.

"Am I overthinking this? Is this woman really just here at the academy to be a teacher?"

Sophia began to doubt her own guess.

The night passed just like that, but Sofia didn't sleep a wink, while Evelyn changed into her teacher's uniform and left early.

But Sofia still didn't believe it was a coincidence.

Meanwhile, in the capital city...

After receiving Sophia's message, Vic rushed over to Frey's place immediately.

Frey was still the same as always, incredibly relaxed. The mirror in front of her displayed the entire Tianxing Academy scene, just like watching a movie.

"This isn't your home. You can't just come and go as you please. You're really being impolite."

Frey gave him a listless glare.

Vic immediately sat down opposite Frey and then recounted the message Sophia had sent him in detail.

Frey, who had been quite relaxed, turned cold and exuded murderous intent after hearing Vic's words.

"You mean Evelyn infiltrated Tianxing Academy and even showed up next to that deadbeat?"

Frey's voice seemed calm, but her tone of voice told a different story.

“Yes, I just checked too. This Evelyn suddenly impersonated the Royal Chief Pharmacist and left not long ago.”

"Vic replied."

Frey immediately stood up, walked to the window, looked in the direction of Tianxing Academy, remained silent for a moment, and then offered a solution.

"I'll go and deal with that little girl to prevent future trouble."

Vic paused for a moment.
