One mystery after another kept popping up in the elf's mind. At this moment, she was no longer as indifferent as before. She was eager to unravel these secrets!
The elf's pale yellow eyes sparkled with starlight, brimming with interest.
Then, in a flash of inspiration, she suggested that she tell Xu Ling the exact location of Phil Academy.
Although Emerald hadn't listened carefully to Xu Ling and the others' discussion because she wasn't paying attention, snippets of their voices, sometimes high and sometimes low, still managed to reach her ears.
It has to be said that Xu Ling and her friends were quite lucky. They had only casually guessed that the little fairy might be at Phil Academy, and they actually stumbled upon the truth by sheer luck—it was exactly what they expected!
I just... I wonder if they guessed correctly where Phil Academy is located?
Despite still being bound to the Tree of Life and facing a life-threatening situation, Emerald's thoughts had already drifted uncontrollably away.
Her gaze inadvertently drifted downwards, staring intently at Xu Ling's slightly thin back.
If she told Xu Lingfei where the academy was, would her attitude towards her change completely? Would she stop treating her like she didn't exist as before?
Just as Emerald's attention was irresistibly drawn to Xu Ling, the Tree of Life was truly astonished by her words!
It had considered that it might have let something slip, but it never expected that the truth would be like this!
So, from the very beginning, Emerald knew everything! She just didn't say it!
[I...you...]
The Tree of Life was speechless; at that moment, it had no idea how to react.
For a moment, it felt as if it had been fooled by the jade!
As an elf, an elf born from the Tree of Life, how could one possibly read the thoughts of the mother tree in reverse?
Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
Even though it has been dormant in the system store for thousands of years, it has never heard of such a reversal of the heavenly order!
It is true that some elves can sense the thoughts and ideas of the Tree of Life, but only after the Tree of Life has given them its approval can those elves do so!
Jadeite simply doesn't exist!
If such a magnificent elf truly existed, how could the Tree of Life hold such a transcendent position among the elven race!
Although the Tree of Life subconsciously refused to believe this truth, a corner of its heart silently kept telling it that such a possibility was not impossible!
After all, Emerald is different from ordinary spirits, so it seems reasonable that it has some unusual abilities.
However, even after convincing itself, the Tree of Life still lost its composure for a moment. As a result, the branches that had been binding the elf unconsciously loosened, and the branches that had been trampled under the emerald's feet suddenly detached.
Thus, the elf, who had not noticed the Tree of Life's actions at all, suddenly plummeted downwards.
Fortunately, she immediately realized her situation and pushed off with her toes, stopping her freefall.
The next second, the elf gracefully leaped onto the thick trunk of the Tree of Life, like a butterfly taking flight.
As if she hadn't been lost in thought just moments before, Emerald regained her composure, raised an eyebrow, and kindly reminded her: "Now, you don't need to worry about me leaking information, right? Not only have I not uttered a single word about this matter all this time, but even disregarding that, you know I have other missions to fulfill, so why would I be foolish enough to create trouble for myself?"
Yes! That's right!
The elf's words suddenly enlightened the Tree of Life, who couldn't help but feel annoyed: how could it have forgotten about this?
No wonder the elf remained calm and composed when it was filled with murderous intent, not caring at all whether it might lose its temper and kill the enemy!
It forgot that it and she were in the same boat!
Having realized that his earlier worries were unfounded, the Tree of Life's taut nerves finally relaxed. The lingering sense of unease, visible to the naked eye, vanished without a trace.
The lush leaves and branches had regained their usual slenderness, but still harboring doubts, it couldn't help but probe: "So... besides knowing about 'points,' do you know anything else?"
For example, could you see the system screen in front of Xu Ling, glowing with a faint blue light?
Emerald didn't understand the Tree of Life's words at all. She raised an eyebrow in surprise and calmly asked, "[What else should I know?]"
Knowing about "points" might sound easy, but it's actually quite difficult. And what's more... she's not a mind reader of the Tree of Life! Where does she get the supernatural ability to understand its thoughts and ideas so perfectly?
The elf appeared visibly confused, but her demeanor didn't immediately convince the Tree of Life. With a sense of inquiry, it carefully examined her before hesitantly accepting the truth of her words.
Okay, it'll believe her this time for now!
[It's nothing. Since you said you'd help, go ahead!] Abruptly changing the subject, the Tree of Life mischievously lashed the elf's back with a branch. [Since you said Lingling's points are almost there, go tell her exactly where Phil Academy is located!]
Because this lash of the branch was not malicious and was very unexpected, Emerald had no way to avoid it. It was gently slapped—no, it should be said that it was pushed—and fell off the trunk of the Tree of Life.
Even though she had managed to control her body, she still inevitably made a slight sound when she landed.
"Smack—"
In the quiet night, a sudden, soft sound interrupted Xu Ling's actions once again. Even though she knew no one else could see the system screen, she instinctively turned it off.
Turning her head, she looked towards the source of the sound and saw a slender figure come into view.
The moonlight veiled her in a hazy glow, her exquisite face radiating an alluring halo. The elfin girl raised her eyes and gave Xu Ling a faint smile as she looked at her.
"Ling Ling."
The gentle and friendly greeting did not elicit any goodwill from Xu Ling; instead, it made her expression turn serious, and she immediately felt a chill run down her spine.
A fall into a pit, a gain in your wit.
She has not forgotten the suffering she endured when she was first bewitched by the elves!
