  This chapter is an extra for the gift red envelope.

  Her vision had begun to blur, and Lan Jing knew her life was about to disappear. With her last ounce of strength, she warned An Nuo: "Your abilities are unparalleled, but they will also consume your life." An Nuo had used the Holy Light to save them, and finally fainted in Yin Sheng Zhi's arms. That scene she could not forget. Now she would sacrifice herself, not just because she wanted to die, but also to repay An Nuo for saving her life.

  "I know, thank you!" Forced a smile, Anno also knew that her ability was a double-edged sword, but she had no choice.

  As they watched Blue's still body slowly disappear, they finally came to the moment of eternal farewell.

  "Don't think you can trap me!!!" A loud roar echoed, causing the earth to tremble. Immediately after, everyone saw a dark shadow rapidly approaching Blue Jing, opening its bloody maw wide.

  "No!!!!" Annoyed by the uncontrollable scream, he forgot that there was a barrier in front of him and directly got up to rush over, but the Mirror Lake Forest disappeared again. Annoyed pounced into the air and fell to the ground in disarray.

  "It's useless, Xiao Yin." Seeing Anno still refusing to give up, Beigong Ruocheng stepped forward and held her shoulders, stopping her meaningless actions, softly comforting her.

  Bei Gong's words made Anuo Yin react, she couldn't use her own abilities, she couldn't do anything.

  Biting her lip, Anuo suddenly turned around and rushed into Beigong Ruocheng's arms to vent her sorrow.

  The people present didn't look too good because the peace brought by the elf's self-sacrifice made it impossible for them to get excited.

  The sky seemed to be mourning in blue silence, with a gentle patter of rain falling, but no one moved their feet, listening to Anno's sobbing by my ear, and my heart was also mourning for the selfless spirit girl.

  Yoon Sung-ji looked at Anno's sad expression, the reflection on his glasses making it impossible to see the emotions in his eyes, and could only sense the weight of his mood from the words he spoke: "Dust, I think..."

  "How you want to report it is up to you, don't ask me." With their years of good friendship, Leng Qingchen knew what Yin Shengzhi wanted to say just by looking at his expression, and coldly interrupted him, making his stance clear.

  He is not a good Samaritan, nor does he have so much kindness in his heart. He is also someone who fears trouble and doesn't want to get involved in any disputes.

  It's been a week since the task ended, and it seems like everyone has tacitly agreed not to mention the Mirror Lake Forest incident again. The case of An Jia's second young master's death was concluded as being attacked by demons.

  On the map, the ink disappeared, but what was left was only a piece of empty land. Jinghu Forest mysteriously and permanently disappeared from this world.

  But what's even more astonishing is that Beiyuan Ruoying has suddenly changed her ways.

  Although still often skipping class and nowhere to be seen, he no longer appeared by Leng Qingchen's side. That person who had been pursuing Leng Qingchen with unrelenting passion had mysteriously given up.

  Was something wrong when going out on a mission? Everyone's mind couldn't help but guess, and the answers were varied.

  Some people think that Beigong Ruoxing took advantage of the task to curry favor with Leng Qingchen, but was ruthlessly rejected by him, and she didn't have the face to continue entangling herself with him.

  Some people say it's Beigong Ruocheng who has changed his mind and found a new target, so he gave up on Leng Qingchen.

  What's more, some people say that Bei Gong is pretending to be weak in order to gain an advantage.

  Rumors were flying everywhere, and compared to the four-star mission, the gossip about Beigong Ruocheng and Leng Qingchen was obviously more attention-grabbing for the students.

  "These people are really afraid that the world is not chaotic." Anno and Beigong Ruochi skipped their afternoon class and lay down on the large lawn behind the college, enjoying the warm sunshine, but they couldn't dispel the chill in their hearts.

  The mocking words became more and more unbearable, every time they walked into the classroom, Beigong Ruocheng could feel the contemptuous gaze of the crowd. Everyone looked at her with a playful expression, from time to time someone would deliberately come forward and ask: "Hey, why aren't you clinging to Leng Shao today?"

  In the past, she could still smile and ignore it, but now, listening to their sarcastic words, Beigong Ruocheng only felt a lump in her chest, standing there with her head down, not saying a word.

  In the end it was Anno who took her hand and led her away from the storm.

  Two people ran onto the empty lawn and lay down side by side.

  "What they said is right, it's me who overestimated myself." With her arm covering her eyes, Beigong Ruocheng's voice was very soft, so soft that Anno thought she had misheard. Was this still the confident Ruocheng she knew?
