At this moment, Gu Xinghe sat in the chair in front of his desk in the room, poured himself a cup of tea, and sorted out his thoughts.

However, the faint noise coming from outside his room interrupted his thoughts.

The voices of the people outside the door weren't very loud, but his superb physical abilities gave him excellent hearing.

At that moment, the sound outside his door was clearly the footsteps and voices of two people approaching his room.

After the afternoon classes ended, Field watched Gu Xinghe leave from the classroom.

After spending what I considered enough time in the library, almost as if enduring it, I finally did.

He figured that Gu Xinghe had already had some rest, so his visit now wouldn't be too much of a disturbance.

Field couldn't wait to visit Gu Xinghe's dormitory room again.

But just as he was walking towards the dormitory...

Field, however, spotted another person coming from a different direction, who was clearly heading the same way.

He looked up and saw that the person was a student he did not recognize.

But at that moment, the familiar aura emanating from the other person made Field instantly realize—

Although he did not recognize the person's appearance, he knew that the person's "inner self" was obviously someone he knew.

"Eris".

Field spoke to the person in front of him, his tone tinged with dissatisfaction and a hint of barely perceptible nostalgia.

"Young man, you've mistaken me for someone else. I am... Luo Zhiye."

Upon being recognized by an "acquaintance," Eris, who was wearing Luo Zhiye's face, did not show any dissatisfaction like Field did.

In contrast, his tone at this moment was full of mockery.

But Eris paused for a moment when she was "introducing herself".

Perhaps there are too many people like Luo Zhiye.

After a while, Eris remembered Luo Zhiye's real name.

"Remember not to call me by the wrong name again."

Having finally remembered his own name, Eris reminded Field again.

In his view, such opportunities to directly point out Field's "mistakes" were rare.

Just like Field, Eris clearly hadn't expected this either—

On his way to find Gu Xinghe, he would coincidentally run into Field.

Although Field seemed a little annoyed with him when he greeted him, Eris did not show the same attitude.

This is because, although they seem to have had no contact now, they had a long-standing grudge in their past lives.

As someone who was almost a fanatical follower of Gu Xinghe, Field had an unusually fervent respect and worship for Gu Xinghe.

Of all his companions at the time, none failed to admire Field's attitude.

For this reason, although Field's behavior can sometimes be a bit crazy, almost everyone gets along well with him.

The reason it's described as "almost" is naturally because there are exceptions—

Under Field's piety and worship.

Eris, however, was almost constantly talking to Gu Xinghe about "raising wages" and "getting a raise".

In this contrast, Eris's following seems less "pure".

Therefore, the relationship between Eris and Field can probably be described as follows:

Field harbored a slight, one-sided dissatisfaction with Eris, while Eris believed that they were absolutely incompatible.

Thus, after pointing out Field's "mistake" in what was rare a role as a corrector.

Before he could continue speaking, Eris quickly added.

"Let's go inside first; the boss has probably been waiting for a while."

Sure enough, when Eris deliberately mentioned Gu Xinghe's name, Field's attention was instantly diverted.

Just then, Gu Xinghe opened the door, looking at the somewhat strange duo in front of him with a half-smile—

After all, he really hadn't expected that these two people would come to his room at the same time until he heard their voices outside the door.

Hey! Good afternoon, boss!

Your loyal companion Eris has traveled all the way to St. George's University to provide you with information and intelligence assistance!

"Considering how hard I've worked, won't you consider giving me a raise?"

After seeing Gu Xinghe close the door, without needing Gu Xinghe's invitation, Eris sat on the sofa quite familiarly and greeted Gu Xinghe.

Upon hearing this, Gu Xinghe raised an eyebrow.

In any case, this wasn't a long journey for Eris.

It's more accurate to say that he developed so many "eyes" similar to Luo Zhiye.

It was originally designed to solve the problem of long distances.

Therefore, for Eris, the journey from the Tavern of Doom to St. George's University was to attach her consciousness to Luo Zhiye.

It's just a matter of a single thought.

"Is that so...? Then why didn't you come all this way to attend the banquet held at the Rose Manor?"

Therefore, Gu Xinghe did not directly answer Eris's question, but instead changed the subject.

Upon hearing Gu Xinghe's "accountability," Field, who was standing to the side, also glared at Eris, as if he were holding him accountable as well.

"Uh... well, you can't say that, after all, I specifically chose to send 'me'."

Because Eris's consciousness is currently attached to Luo Zhiye.

So when he said those words, they became even more fitting.

In fact, for Eris, there are quite a few people like Luo Zhiye.

But he was the only person who had any connection with Gu Xinghe.

In response, Eris had specifically selected those who would attend the banquet to be people Gu Xinghe knew.

But Field was clearly still dissatisfied with Eris's excuse.

“Eris, we shouldn’t ask our mentor for anything in return…”

"No, no, no, Field, you're wrong about that..."

Compared to Field's view of Gu Xinghe as a beacon of ideals and faith, Field's reasons for approaching Gu Xinghe seem rather "impure."

Of course, even so, we should never doubt their attitude towards Gu Xinghe.

This difference is simply due to their different ways of getting along with Gu Xinghe.

Even more so, in the later stages of his previous life, money had become utterly useless for Eris in developing his power.

But swindling more money from Gu Xinghe, the boss, has become a unique hobby of his.

Thus, after understanding this from the thoughts of the two people in front of him.

Gu Xinghe didn't pay too much attention to the current "dispute" between Field and Eris.

After all, they haven't escalated to the point of arguing yet; it's just a playful bickering between friends.
