While Bass was feeling a little embarrassed, Xu Ling remained completely unmoved.
The eldest brother doesn't speak ill of the second brother, after all, their teacher doesn't have very pleasant words when talking about other teachers!
On the other side, April finally explained Fil's origins to Pedro and Sissi.
After hearing everything, Sisi suddenly realized, "No wonder Xu Ling kept trying to find opportunities to speak!"
At that time, she didn't understand what Xu Ling was trying to do. She couldn't help but think to herself: Xu Ling is still a minor. What time is it? Instead of thinking about escaping and saving her life, she has time to talk to her!
It was only at this point, after witnessing with his own eyes that the giant wolf had indeed not launched any attack on Bass, that Pedro finally believed April's words.
The longsword he had been holding was casually twirled in his hand, and the next second, the gleaming sword vanished completely from everyone's sight.
Seeing this, April breathed a sigh of relief.
Great, the crisis is over!
She patted her chest in a seemingly inconspicuous manner, and then eagerly walked towards Xu Ling and the others.
"I... let's go quickly!"
April was still April. Speaking in front of strangers had already taken all her courage. Now, she just wanted to hide next to Xu Ling and be an invisible person openly.
No one refused April's suggestion, so Sisi and Pedro then walked in the direction where Xu Ling and the others were.
April moved a little faster. Just as Bass and Xu Ling stood up, she was already waiting beside Xu Ling with an expression full of anticipation.
Is this... a reward?
Facing April's bright, sparkling eyes, which seemed to say, "Praise me, praise me," Xu Ling secretly guessed to herself.
Although unsure if April meant it that way, Xu Ling instinctively spread her hands in front of her, "April, what you did..."
"Why are you still here?!"
Before Xu Ling could finish her praise, she was interrupted by a sudden, impatient voice.
Xu Ling paused in her hand movements, which were conjuring something, and instinctively looked in the direction of the sound.
In fact, it wasn't just her; everyone else was also drawn to the sound and turned to look.
Everyone recognized the familiarity in that impatient voice.
Sure enough, when their gazes followed, they saw that Assistant Professor Alger, who had disappeared long ago, was standing not far away.
It has to be said, Alger's return was perfectly timed!
If he had arrived even a little earlier, he would have witnessed that tense scene.
And now... Alger only saw Xu Ling and the others standing there idly, looking like they were just chatting.
Are we just blatantly wasting time like this?
Alger frowned. "What are you doing?"
Although his tone wasn't overtly unfriendly, his seemingly calm and collected demeanor belied a menacing aura...
Anyone could tell that Assistant Professor Alger was suppressing his anger.
No wonder Alger was furious!
No one has ever kept Bishop Miller waiting! Not even the Pope has ever kept Bishop Miller waiting!
Today, things have really gotten out of hand; these people have kept Bishop Miller waiting for so long!
"What are you doing?!" Alger asked again as he walked up to them.
This time, they were close enough that Xu Ling and the others naturally saw the teaching assistant's gritted teeth.
It was upon seeing Alger, who had returned looking for someone, that the group suddenly realized what they had been trying to do!
Oh no! I completely forgot to follow Assistant Coach Alger!
Although no one said it aloud, Xu Ling and the others sighed in unison. Then, one by one, they lowered their heads silently, like wilted eggplants.
At this moment, even the arrogant Prince Pedro had to succumb to reality and lower his proud head in sync with them.
There was nothing he could do; although Alger appeared calm, his expression...
It's obvious at a glance that they're not to be trifled with!
Of course, under this invisible pressure, no one dared to be so bold as to offer an explanation.
The atmosphere was even more silent than before, and Alger's brows furrowed even more deeply, almost shattering the calm he had been trying to maintain on his face.
Nobody wants to explain this?
Unfortunately, not one of the people present seemed to share his sentiments, and they remained silent.
Alger could feel his temper rising rapidly, but despite this, he patiently waited a little longer.
However······
Silence. Silence.
His response was still a deathly silence.
Alger: ......
He really wanted to get to the bottom of this, but time simply wouldn't allow him to continue—he'd already kept Bishop Miller waiting for so long, how could he let him wait any longer?!
"never mind······"
Alger held back for a while, then finally sighed helplessly, glanced around, and said irritably, "Let's go!"
Xu Ling and the others still did not reply.
However, when Alger turned around and walked back the way he came, they all immediately followed him with great insight.
Led by a bunch of cowardly quails, Alger finally returned without keeping Miller waiting long this time.
The enormous, luxurious vehicle stood alone not far away. Although it was no longer surrounded by its usual retinue of admirers, it still silently exuded its unique majesty.
The silver-white paint shimmered with a slightly cold light under the sun.
The carriage curtain was split in the middle and hung neatly on both sides. Right in the middle, long, white hair cascaded down to the ground, and a solemn white robe and silver gown were worn by Bishop Miller.
Seemingly hearing their approaching footsteps, Bishop Miller, who had been keeping his eyes down, slowly raised his eyelids and looked at them with a calm and unwavering gaze.
His gaze, devoid of any emotion and as calm as a lake, instinctively brought everyone to a halt.
A thought inexplicably flashed through his mind—they seemed to have offended him…
