News of Yilu’s incident quickly spread through the Academy, and it also drew attention from the royal family.
This was no longer a simple attack on a single student. That person had even committed murder on the streets of the Royal Capital, crossing the Kingdom’s bottom line.
In just one day, the entire Royal Capital was on high alert, searching for the attacker from the daytime streets.
As a teacher of the Academy and the one responsible for Yilu’s class, Lyr was told to stay behind to inquire about specific details.
Inside House Geno, Tif finished learning the situation from the two maids and did not blame them.
This kind of thing was beyond what they could control. Even if she had been present at the time, she couldn’t have done anything.
“A witch… Is she really that terrifying?” Tif couldn’t help but think back to this question.
Before, she had only read about them, but had no concrete impression.
But this situation was even more terrifying than she had imagined.
Daring to appear on the streets in broad daylight, killing so many guards in succession—it was equivalent to declaring war on the entire Kingdom.
No matter where, this was something hard to believe.
“Miss.”
After the two maids had bandaged their wounds simply, they cautiously looked at Tif.
“What’s wrong? Are you still feeling unwell?” Tif asked.
These two had indeed been in the mansion since childhood. In terms of age, she would have to call them both older sister.
One shook her head, her face showing worry. “What about the young master?”
“Him? He’s probably still at the Academy now. It’ll be a while before he comes back.” Tif rubbed her temples.
She also wanted to know what the Academy had to say.
There were no extra clues about that person now. They only knew she was a witch. Other than that, nothing was clear.
“I saw the young master looking very angry earlier. I’ve never seen him that angry before.”
Recalling Lyr’s appearance at that time, the two were still shaken.
Tif sighed. Not only them, but even she had seen Lyr that angry for the first time.
She didn’t know what Lyr was like elsewhere, but within her sight, Lyr had rarely gotten angry.
Even when she had put on a stern face for so long, he never complained.
Otherwise, why would they say he was somewhat carefree and heartless?
But the more such a person, the more terrifying they become when they get angry.
It was as if all his pent-up temper was released at this moment, along with that terrifying power.
Previously, Lyr had said his magic power had become very weak, but such a huge amount of magic power—Tif felt uneasy.
Thinking about the reason why he acted like that, Tif felt helpless again.
“That guy, I already warned him. His own brain isn’t sharp, so who is he to blame?” Tif continued. “If he had understood my meaning earlier, he wouldn’t need to be this angry.”
‘No, that’s not right. It’s hard to say—he might be even angrier.’
What exactly does he think of Yilu? Even now, he probably doesn’t have a definite answer.
Hearing the sound of a carriage, Tif and the two maids immediately stood up, thinking it was Lyr returning.
When the person walked in, they saw a different figure. Tif instantly lost interest.
“Hey, what’s wrong with you? When did I become so disliked by you?” Teanya immediately showed her displeasure.
Even if this had happened before, it was never this direct.
They really almost drove her out.
“No, no.” The maid beside her hurriedly said, “Miss just thought it was the young master returning. She didn’t expect it to be you.”
“He hasn’t come back yet?”
“No.” Tif sat back down in her seat.
Last time Lyr didn’t come home, she didn’t say anything, but her mood was similar to now.
“This incident has stirred up quite a commotion.” Teanya twisted her mouth. “The entire Academy has been alarmed.”
“Are you here to watch the excitement? If so, I might not be able to entertain you.”
Tif knew that Teanya loved this kind of thing the most, so her appearing here wasn’t surprising.
Teanya sat beside Tif and said mysteriously, “What if I told you I might know something? Would you believe me?”
“What do you know?” Tif raised an eyebrow, wondering what this girl had dug up again.
“I don’t know if it’s accurate. I just remembered it when I was about to go back today, so I thought I’d come tell you.”
After saying this, Teanya didn’t forget to glance around to make sure there were no suspicious people.
“These are all people from my household. Don’t be like that.”
“Let me tell you, back when Beiyao had her accident, I heard from a few people who were close to her that when they visited Beiyao, she said she wouldn’t let Yilu off easily.”
Tif tilted her head, thought for a moment, and felt something was off. “Even if you say that, no matter how bold Beiyao is, she couldn’t possibly strike in that place, especially against the Geno family’s carriage.”
If that were the case, it wouldn’t be just targeting Yilu, but also House Geno, and even provoking the royal family. That would be too insane.
“And there’s also the involvement of a witch.”
“I don’t know about that.” Teanya spread her hands. “But at the time, they were very certain, as if Beiyao had prepared some plan.”
After that incident, Beiyao hadn’t come to the Academy. It would be impossible to question her based on just these few words.
Just as Tif continued to ponder whether this information was reliable, the door that had just been closed was suddenly pushed open, and Lyr rushed in with a cold face.
“Lyr, what did the Academy say?”
As if he couldn’t hear, Lyr ignored everyone there and walked straight upstairs.
Everyone exchanged glances, confused.
With hurried footsteps in the hallway, Lyr quickly came back down. The difference was that he now held the Thunder Spirit Sword in his hand.
Still ignoring everyone present, Lyr was about to leave again, looking fierce.
Seeing something was wrong, Tif immediately ran over and blocked Lyr’s way. “Where are you going?”
Even Tif found Lyr’s appearance unfamiliar.
“To find Yilu.” Lyr was straightforward, his eyes lacking their usual playfulness and filled with anger instead.
“Do you know where she is?”
Connecting to Teanya’s words just now, if it really involved her, Tif wouldn’t be surprised if Lyr rushed straight into her home.
“I don’t know.” Lyr slowly exhaled.
Even though he was angry, he wasn’t without reason. He slowly raised his hand and revealed the mark in front of Tif.
“This thing will help me find Yilu, and that person.”
