Mo Fan was getting a headache. The Alps Institute was split into four schools, each with quite a large number of students. Even the teachers would not recognize every student in the school, so it was easy for an outsider to blend into the students.
”If only we knew what the person is after; it's unlikely that anyone would do such a cruel thing for no reason,” Mo Fan said.
Mo Fan had the Dark Material. If he could discover the culprit's aims and whereabouts, it would be extremely easy to deal with the situation once he tagged the person with the Dark Material. The problem was, Ceylan, Headmistress Perry, and Brianca did not have the slightest clue who the culprit was!
”They must be hiding something,” Mo Fan muttered to himself.
Mo Fan was walking around Faerun School. He did not keep an extra eye on the surroundings before, but he now noticed the school grounds were planted with a lot of Snow Lavender. These flowers were everywhere, like the sacred snow, something that the girl had been working on diligently for a long time.
She was such a lovely girl. What kind of grudge could the culprit be holding against the school, to murder an innocent girl in such a brutal way?
”Yu'e, you shouldn't be walking around on your own. I heard from the patrolling Magas that we have to stay in pairs to avoid any trouble during this important time!” a girl's voice came down from the stairs of a nearby building.
”It's fine, she always told me that she had to finish it so that the others could see it. Since she can't complete it anymore, I must lend her a hand. There's not much work left,” another girl among the bushes of flowers raised her face and replied.
Mo Fan walked closer and soon saw the girl was half-kneeling on the ground, busy clearing some weeds. Her milk-white outfit did not have any embroidery, and was fully stretched by her round bottom, leaving not a single wrinkle on it, while her slim waist swayed slightly. Mo Fan was lost in thought upon witnessing the sight.
It was common to see such a beautiful sight at the Alps Institute. That being said, why did the girl look so familiar to him?
The girl suddenly turned around, as if she noticed that someone was watching her. Her hair was blocking her face and eyes. She naturally moved her hair away, revealing a not overly dazzling, but clean and good-looking face.
The girl was stunned when she saw the watcher was a man. After all, it was extremely rare to see a man at the Alps Institute. However, her eyes flickered with surprise when she took a closer look at Mo Fan's face.
”Why are you here?' Mo Fan pointed at the girl and blurted out in disbelief before the girl could speak.
”I was going to ask the same thing!” The girl rose to her feet and smiled. It was the same friendly and gentle smile that she always wore.
”Not long after I met you, I used my savings to travel to different places. I was thinking of visiting the Alps Institute as a tourist when I came to Switzerland, but I didn't know the place was off-limits to outsiders. I wouldn't have been allowed to enter if I hadn't stumbled into a friendly student. When I came, they happened to be looking for a gardener. I decided to stay, since I had pretty much spent all my savings,” the girl explained with a smile.
”You make it sound so simple, but I know everyone that joins the Alps Institute isn't an ordinary person. You are an open-minded girl, no wonder you can make up your mind that easily. So, are you planning to go back to New York?”
”I do like it here. It feels more like home than a noisy bustling city,” Li Yu'e said.
”Have you Awakened?” Mo Fan inquired.
”Mm, the Psychic Element… but it feels like I'm not really that talented,” Li Yu'e replied.
”That's already quite impressive,” Mo Fan encouraged her.
The world was wonderful indeed; Mo Fan did not think he would meet the girl caught in the incident on a street in New York here at the Alps Institute. He was able to arrest the Ice Element Executioner named Philip with her help. Even though it was a coincidence he met her in the first place, he still had a strong impression of her.
The girl might look ordinary, yet she had a special demeanor, like a flower slowly emitting its faint fragrance in a secluded place. The way she could treat everything calmly was something that Mo Fan found quite impressive.
”Why are you walking around on your own? Don't you feel like an alien here?” Li Yu'e asked.
”Mm, something bad happened, so I would like to settle it as quickly as possible. I can only roam around aimlessly, since I don't really have any clues at the moment,” Mo Fan said.
”But why do I think your eyes aren't focused on searching for clues?” Li Yu'e said ambiguously, looking at Mo Fan.
Mo Fan immediately realized he was caught red-handed checking out on her physique. He chuckled and said, ”The two don't contradict one another.”
”Is it about Amelia?” Li Yu'e asked.
”You know about it?” Mo Fan was impressed.
Headmistress Perry had already sealed off the news. The other students were told that someone had drowned in an accident, but Li Yu'e sounded like she knew about the reason behind it.
”She was afraid of water, she never went close to the waterfall. She was even cautious when using a watering can to water the flowers,” Li Yu'e said.
”I see...” Mo Fan was briefly lost for words. He believed it was unwise to tell Li Yu'e the truth.
