Chihaya was called to the office in confusion. As soon as she entered the door, she was attracted by the passionate gaze on her. Following her line of sight, she saw a man and a woman. However, she did not know them. It could be said that it was the first time she had seen these two people. Moreover, their gazes made her feel a little uncomfortable. Her intuition told her that these two people's motives were not pure.
Chihaya frowned and glanced at the stranger. She walked to the side of Black Master Hui Yan and looked at the man in confusion. Unfortunately, Black Master Hui Yan did not notice the strange looks the two people gave Chihaya. He only explained to Chihaya gently,"Xiaoxun, they are your clansmen. I came here today to bring you back, so I asked you to come.”
"Clansmen?" Chihaya had thought of many possibilities, but she had never expected such a situation. She had originally doubted the authenticity of her so-called clansmen, but when Cha noticed her doubtful expression, he once again showed his trademark pair of ears and successfully dispelled his doubts about their identities. However, even if she believed that they were her clansmen, the moment they acted strangely when she first entered, Chihaya could not trust them.
"That's right, we are your clansmen.”Cha acted like a good sister and kindly pulled Chihaya's hand. Her eyes were filled with fake love,""We all regretted not being able to find you in time. Fortunately, we finally found you.”
His hypocritical words made Chihaya feel even more uncomfortable. In addition, the other party's contact also made her feel uncomfortable. However, thanks to this person's pretense of closeness, she was able to obtain something deeper through physical contact without leaving a trace. For example, their exact identities and their true purpose in coming to the Black Master Academy to take her away.
Suppressing the resistance she felt towards Cha, who had ulterior motives, Chihaya allowed him to hold her hand and say something that sounded fake no matter how she heard it."I think you must have put in a lot of effort for Chihaya's body that won't grow up. Actually, if the fox cub doesn't hold an adult ceremony, its body will remain in its infancy form. In that case, the defects from her infancy would remain, which would be detrimental to her. This is also the main reason why we came here to bring her back.”
This was the truth. Chihaya had learned this from the fragments and memories she had probed. No wonder he couldn't grow up no matter what method he used, as well as his physique that couldn't see the sun for so many years. Now that there was a fox clan like him, he finally understood these points. As for the so-called coming-of-age ceremony, it was not a difficult matter, but it did require the help of the same race.
Black Master Hui Yan knew the reason why Chihaya did not grow up and was surprised. Then, he thought about Chihaya's reddened skin when she was exposed to the sun, and he finally understood the reason. As such, he couldn't easily reject their requests. Especially when they said that Chihaya, who had delayed her coming-of-age ceremony, would become weaker.
"Xiaoxun, for the sake of your health, I hope you can go back with them.”Black Master Hui Yan pondered for a moment and made a decision out of his love for Chihaya,""But what happened last night, although I believe it has nothing to do with you, the Council of Elders and the Hunter Association will definitely send people to the academy. So, I'll try my best to stall for some time. When the time comes, you can decide whether to come back or not depending on the situation.”
Hui Yan knew exactly what the Council of Elders and the Hunter Association were thinking when they targeted Chihaya. Because of this, regardless of whether or not Chihaya was the one who did it, those people would seize this opportunity to make a move on her. Therefore, the arrival of Cha and Shi had resolved his worries.
If Chihaya followed them back to her clan, she would be able to avoid the people sent by the Council of Elders and the Hunter Association in time, not to mention recovering her health. At the very least, Chihaya wasn't suitable to stay in the academy until the matter was investigated. Based on his understanding of those ambitious people, they would definitely imprison Chihaya first. Once that happened, he would not be able to see how Chihaya would be treated.
So at least, at least, Chihaya would be safe and sound before the truth was revealed. Now that such a good opportunity had come knocking on his door, it could be said that Black Master Hui Yan heaved a huge sigh of relief. Originally, without these two people, even if Hui Yan had such thoughts, he would not have been able to completely avoid the surveillance of the two forces and protect Chihaya. Even though he despised his own powerlessness, he had no choice but to admit this cruel fact.
"..." Chihaya lowered her eyes and fell silent. She understood how Little Yan was thinking for her wholeheartedly. When she made the decision to take the blame, she had no way out. Now, he had one more choice than before. He would either be taken by the Council of Elders to do unknown experiments in the name of this matter, or he would go with the two clansmen who had the same purpose as the Council of Elders. No matter which choice he made, he could not escape the fate of being imprisoned and tortured.
At least, if she left with this couple, she would have a chance to complete her coming-of-age ceremony. At the same time, she might be able to learn more about this race so that she could better understand her body and that mysterious inheritance. It was just that there were risks and opportunities. She was not sure about the strength of the two of them, so it was unknown if they could turn the tables.
"I'll go with them." After Chihaya accidentally discovered the familiar figure that flashed across Cha's memories, she had already made up her mind to leave with them without hesitation. If she was not mistaken, that was the little fox she had saved. This knowledge was the main reason why she was willing to leave with the two of them.
"That's great. Let's set off immediately.”Cha was very happy that the matter had been resolved so easily. He immediately couldn't wait to bring her back."Before coming here, the clan had already prepared everything needed for the coming-of-age ceremony. We're just waiting for you to return. After resting for a few days, we can hold the coming-of-age ceremony directly.”Anyway, they didn't know if she was telling the truth or not, so Cha didn't mind telling more lies to urge them to leave.
Sensing the woman's impatience, Chihaya concealed her expression.""Wait, let me say goodbye to them.”If she left so easily and she didn't come back, they might misunderstand that she was heartless and sad. Although they would be even sadder if they knew that she was dead, she still did not want to be seen as a heartless person.
He didn't expect Chihaya to make such a request. Cha's aura fluctuated for a moment. He was furious. Fortunately, Shi, who understood her, stopped her in time and did not let her slip. Cha, who understood the big picture, suppressed his displeasure and nodded to show his understanding."I was careless. After all, we've been family for so many years. Go, we'll leave after saying goodbye." In fact, at this moment, she wished she could grab this troublesome wretched girl and knock her unconscious.
"En, Tu and I will wait for you at the academy's entrance. Don't delay for too long.”Shi instructed coldly and left with Cha. He could tell that this woman Cha's hostility towards the same sex was not ordinary, even if she looked like a child now. However, since her looks were already so extraordinary at such a young age, she would definitely be even more amazing when she grew up. No wonder Tu, who hated women who were better looking than him, would lose his patience so easily.
"How hateful! That girl is actually so tactless!" Once they left the school gate, there was no one else around. Cha could not help but curse with a distorted face,"Bastard child without parents, this young miss condescends to invite her and still has a stiff face, what thing!”She had the urge to tear her face apart when she thought of that fair and tender face. Women who were better looking than her should not exist, especially those who gave her the cold shoulder.
Every time he saw Cha's face, Shi was disgusted. If it wasn't for the fact that this woman Cha was of great use, Shi would have long sewed her mouth shut and used her as experimental material. That was why women were troublesome, especially those who were petty and vicious. Fortunately, Cha also understood Shi's dissatisfaction with her. After scolding her for a while, he restrained his temper. It was also because of her knowledge that Shi had not destroyed her human path.
Chihaya found Zero and told him that she was leaving.""After I leave, the Council of Elders should send people here soon, as well as the Hunter Association. When the time comes, if they ask, don't say anything. I've already taken care of it. You'll be fine.”Even if those people wanted to do something to Zero, Jiu Lanshu would protect Zero for Youji's sake.
" Chihaya..." Zero looked at the girl in front of her with an indescribable feeling. He had been impulsive back then, which resulted in the current situation. Chihaya had shouldered the responsibility for him. He owed Chihaya too much, and he would probably never be able to repay her in this lifetime.
"Don't think too much." Chihaya caressed Zero's face and said solemnly,""Zero, I still have a favor to ask of you. This time, I will leave with my clansmen. If nothing goes wrong, I will return as soon as possible. Although she did not want to be too pessimistic, she still had to consider the worst-case scenario.
"If I don't come back, I'll leave Youji and Little Yan to you. You have to take care of yourself too.”
Chihaya's words made Zero unable to care about anything else. Her eyes narrowed as she said uneasily,"" What do you mean? Why can't you come back? Could it be that this trip is dangerous…" He could tell that Chihaya was hiding something, and these words that seemed to be her last words made him even more anxious.
"Zero, for some reason, I have no choice but to go with them. This is my own decision. No one forced me.”" You're a very reliable person in my eyes," Chihaya said with a serious expression." That's why I'm only telling you this." I'm not here. Youji is simple and innocent. Little Yan has too many scruples, so I believe you.”
Even though Chihaya knew that it wasn't appropriate for her to place this burden on Zero, as it was unfair to Zero, she couldn't find anyone else to entrust it to. He bit his fingertip and drew a symbol on the back of Zero's hand with his blood. After the symbol was formed, a light flashed and the mark disappeared."This is a trace of my Life Aura. If anything happens to me, you will be able to sense it. What if…the symbol appeared and returned to the original blood? Don't try to find me, it's too dangerous."
After having a secret conversation with Zero, Chihaya found Yuki and told her that she was leaving temporarily. Finally, under the reluctance of the others to send her off, she got into the car outside the school and slowly left their sight. No one noticed that a figure followed closely behind, silently following.
