Sorry

The reason Feng Wei and Bai Yun were here today was entirely because of Su Ran.

After learning the news of Eve’s death, she had contacted Feng Wei using the phone number he left, stating that she wanted to learn more about what had happened to Eve in Changhong City.

As the only student from Beizhou Academy who died in the incident, the school naturally had an obligation to explain the situation clearly to her contact person.

Thus, Feng Wei had sought out Bai Yun, asking her, as a direct witness, to explain it to Su Ran.

A sliver of light flashed in Su Ran’s eyes, and she turned her head to look at Bai Yun, wanting to know what they had encountered.

Seeing Feng Wei’s signal, Bai Yun took a deep breath.

Over the past few days, she had recounted the story of Eve to others countless times.

Her heart, which should have been numb, inexplicably grew a little nervous when she met Su Ran’s eyes.

Perhaps it was the guilt of a team leader facing the family of the deceased.

She had not done her part to protect Eve, allowing her to be buried forever in Changhong City.

Gradually calming her heart, Bai Yun began her story from Lily and the others’ initial encounter, continuing all the way to her own confrontation with the Vampire Princess Evelise, and finally, to learning of Eve’s death from her lips.

“So, Teacher Bai, you didn’t actually see Eve with your own eyes?”

After hearing Bai Yun’s account, Su Ran shot up from her seat, a glimmer of hope rising on her face.

‘As long as no body was found, then it’s very possible that Eve is still alive.’

Su Ran’s reaction made Bai Yun glance helplessly at Feng Wei beside her.

The latter looked at Su Ran with a gaze of pity, as if to say that was not a possibility.

“The school uniform left behind does not lie. It belonged to Eve, one hundred percent. Moreover, after we left, all signs of life in Changhong City vanished. It’s impossible for Eve to have survived.”

It was better to rip the band-aid off quickly.

Bai Yun had seen many family members like Su Ran over the years, those who refused to believe reality.

‘Hey! The most helpful thing for Su Ran is for you to use the cold, hard reality to shatter her fantasy.’

Su Ran, who had been standing for barely a second, heard Bai Yun’s words.

Her crystalline pink lips turned white, and with a soft sigh, as if all the air had been let out of her, she slumped back into the chair.

“I am here today not to give you hope that Eve is still alive, but to make you face reality. Eve is dead!”

Bai Yun’s words were like a potent medicine, crashing down heavily on Su Ran’s heart.

If not for her current physical constitution being much better than before, Su Ran might have fainted on the spot.

Her hands clenched and unclenched into fists, her whitened knuckles catching the eyes of both Bai Yun and Feng Wei.

After hearing Bai Yun’s words, Su Ran’s pink lips turned even paler. She looked like a wounded little animal, curled up into a ball, licking her own wounds.

“Teacher Bai, you’re right! Eve is dead. I have to accept this fact.”

After a painful internal struggle, Su Ran finally unclenched her fists and let out a breath.

“There is only one thing I can do, and that is to not rest until every last vampire is driven from human lands! So that a tragedy like Eve’s will never happen again. I believe Eve’s spirit in heaven would want to see that.”

Her hollow eyes rekindled with a different kind of light, as if the flames of vengeance were burning within her pupils.

Seeing Su Ran regain her spirits, Bai Yun felt a little relieved, even though the goal that spurred her on seemed somewhat unrealistic in Bai Yun’s eyes.

Regardless, the current Su Ran was a world away from the person who had first walked in. Her re-energized eyes drew one’s gaze irresistibly.

Any subsequent issues could be addressed and changed little by little during her time at the academy.

“Since you now have a clear understanding of what happened to Eve, I’ll leave the remaining matters for Teacher Feng to discuss with you.”

Bai Yun had only come here today to tell Su Ran about Eve.

The follow-up support from the academy was Feng Wei’s responsibility to arrange.

Bai Yun had no interest in doing other people’s jobs, so after finishing her part, she handed the stage over to Feng Wei.

Now in the spotlight, Feng Wei stopped slacking off. Seeing that he had the attention of both women, he immediately shifted into a professional work mode.

“According to the personal insurance Beizhou Academy purchased for its students, after the insured person’s passing, a fixed sum will be transferred to Miss Su Ran’s bank account every month. You should already be clear on this term.”

Su Ran nodded slightly; this had been mentioned in the letter Feng Wei left.

With that, Feng Wei took a thick envelope from his person and handed it to Su Ran, gesturing for her to open it.

“However, per your request, this month’s payment is entirely in cash.”

Taking the envelope and opening it, she found it stuffed full of banknotes. The scent of matte ink wafted from them; every bill was brand new.

Su Ran didn’t bother to count it; she trusted that Feng Wei was not the type to shortchange her.

Since it was the first month, the payment Feng Wei provided was slightly larger than the usual amount.

‘It would have been much more convenient if it were a direct bank transfer. That way, I could easily top up the Witch Game. Now I have to deposit this cash first.’

She mentally divided the cash she received into two parts.

One part would be used to top up the Witch Game to draw the “Advanced Meditation Technique.”

The other part would be left at home.

She had once promised Eve…

‘This money was a loan from her, and now there’s no chance to repay it.’

This time, she absolutely would not touch this remaining cash unless it was the last resort.

“In addition to the regular living expenses, Beizhou Academy is also offering a family member of the student an enrollment spot. As long as you possess superhuman talent, our school will accept you.”

A spot at Beizhou Academy was extremely precious even for superhumans. It could be said that the previous monetary compensation was nothing compared to this spot.

“We have prepared an admission notice for you here. In about a month, our new class of students will enroll, and you can join the school to study at that time as well.”

As he spoke, Feng Wei took out the prepared admission notice. The Beizhou Academy admission notice, which others would flock to, was now being offered to Su Ran.

“I’m sorry, I don’t want to go to Beizhou Academy.”

“Alright, I’ll definitely arrange a good… What?!”

Before Su Ran could even take the notice, Feng Wei, who had started speaking on his own accord after hearing her start to talk, belatedly realized what she had just said.

“I’m sorry, I don’t want to go to Beizhou Academy.”

Thinking Feng Wei hadn’t heard clearly, Su Ran repeated herself.

This time, even Bai Yun couldn’t hide her astonished expression.

A superhuman academy should be the dream of countless superhumans.

Inside, there were various meditation techniques, experiences summarized by predecessors serving as textbooks, as well as nutrient supplements and different professors to teach.

Why would Su Ran refuse?
