"Brother is not the same as before," Cliffheart says softly, "No one knows what is in his heart. Even me and my sister can't understand."

Matterhorn coughs twice, "No matter what the master is thinking, he must be hiding something. But you have to understand, Young Miss, he is doing the best he could do for both of you."

"But if that's the case, why would he need my sister there as a saintess?", Cliffheart asks back, "Can he really keep my sister safe?"

Matterhorn is speechless and goes almost silent for a minute,

He then says slowly, "...The master must have his own plan."

For Lin Ye, Matterhorn's words don't sound convincing.

Lin Ye already regrets staying for dinner here.

Originally, he thought that Matterhorn would ask something simple, but he was wrong. This way is bigger than what he signed for.

So, Lin Ye tactfully refuses "I think that it's not a good idea for me to get involved?"

"No, Doctor Lin Ye.", Matterhorn shook his head and said, "I think that it's better for an outsider to get involved."

Lin Ye is stunned, "Why?"

"Because both of them have both stubborn personalities.", Matterhorn says with a wry smile,

"The Mistress will never take the initiative to return to Kjerag, let alone listen to the words of the Master. In the eyes of the Mistress, I am from the master's side. In Rhodes Island, I represent the master, so she never listens to me. But you change people, the Mistress might be able to listen to you."

Lin Ye's mouth twitched slightly, thinking that this is really embarrassing.

He thought about it, then shook his head: "I don't think it will work."

"I don't know about Kjerag at all, and I don't know what kind of relationship they have. According to your statement, there is a reason for Pramanix being elected as a saintess. But I am not from Kjerag, so I can't understand, okay? I can't just barge into this. I don't think this is good."

Lin Ye's words made Matterhorn a little disappointed but he is not stupid. He can understand Lin Ye's difficulties, so he nods "I understand."

Cliffheart couldn't help asking, "What happened to my brother?"

Matterhorn shook his head, "He did not say clearly in the letter."

Then he looks at Lin Ye," I understand that you don't want to get involved in Kjerag matters or affairs, and so as a friend, I'll respect that. However, I hope you would consider changing your mind in the future because I am desperate for your help."

He really didn't want to get involved in a family conflict. However, by just looking at how desperate Matterhorn he nods and agrees to think of it for now.

The dinner party, which originally had a pleasant atmosphere, became dull after Matterhorn talked about the master. The lively Cliffheart didn't speak anymore, just staring at the meat on the plate in a daze.

Even Lin Ye, who had a good appetite, couldn't eat more. After eating a little more, he proposed to retire. Then he left the room.

Looking at the phone, Lin Ye plans to go back to his dormitory and lie down before going out.

However, when he walked to the door of the dormitory, he saw a familiar figure sitting beside the wall, looking up at the ceiling. Lin Ye called out the other party's name in surprise, "Liz?"

Liz turns to look at Lin Ye, her pale blue eyes are still like a lake in the night sky.

"When did you get here?"

In the dormitory, Lin Ye searched for snacks, "Would you like something to eat?"

Liz shakes her head "I had already eaten."

She then added, "I came back an hour ago."

"Really?"

Lin Ye finds a bag of chocolate chip cookies, which he brought back from Lungmen. He originally wanted to eat them supper after practicing the sword, but he was still not full.

So he opened it and gave it to her.

"Here, chocolate chip."

"I said I had already eaten.", However, Liz still takes it from him.

'Heh. Still the same as always.'

She still holds in her hands but did not eat them right away.

"How was your task?", Lin Ye sits opposite Liz, "Was it easy?"

"Yeah.", Liz nods, "I had my sisters, Shining and Nearl, I don't need to do anything. It's was like walking in a park." Lin Ye nods understandingly, he could understand this feeling, it was like two veterans are with a novice.

"You went to Lungmen again?", Liz asks.

"Yeah. You wouldn't believe what happened. I got attacked again. Hehe."

Liz looks at him worryingly.

"Are you injured?"

"It's fine. I only got a few wounds. Don't worry."

"Let me see."

"Huh?"

Liz is staring at him hard.

"Let me see.", Liz stands up near Lin Ye's, "Where are they?"

"... It's fine, really. All of them are cured now."

She keeps staring at Lin Ye.

' ...Yup, still the same.'

Seeing the familiar little stubbornness in her eyes made him smile.

"Okay. Okay.", Lin Ye can only admit defeat,

"Here then. I'll give you a look."

He lifts up his shirt, revealing a horrific scar on his lower abdomen.

Liz slowly touches his scar. Her hands gently stroke around it. Her finger feels cold but not uncomfortable. Since her head was lowered, he couldn't see her face.

"Don't get hurt again.", Liz mutters, "Don't run into danger again."

"It's not like I try to get hurt.", he tries to reassure her.

"... Please, don't run into danger again.", Liz repeats it again, she raises her head, Lin Ye can see her eyes are full of worry.

"Okay.", Lin Ye half-jokingly, half-seriously says, "I'll try my best."

Liz seems to don't believe him but nods anyway, "I made something for you."

This made Lin's brows rise up.

"I learned something from Shining-neesan, but I'm not as proficient as her."

Liz takes out a black cloth bag from her pocket, "Take it with you everywhere you go after this."

Lin Ye is a little curious, "What is this?"

"Dogmatic field."
