However, Hyperion raised her eyes.
"Lanqi, I..."
She seemed a little hesitant and reluctant to speak.
If possible, she would actually like to stay with Tata for another two days.
But the thought was too humiliating and she couldn't find an excuse.
Even if Miss Tata agreed to teach her magic, she didn't have to live in Miss Tata's house.
"Let her stay with me for a few more days to avoid any other accidents."
Talia said calmly,
"After all, even according to the contract, she should stay with me for two weeks."
She stressed it in a businesslike manner.
"...!"
This made Huberian look at her in surprise and emotion.
If Miss Tata was just doing things according to the agreement before, now she is really thinking about herself.
"Huprienne, what do you say?"
Lanqi naturally had no objection.
If Talia can get along well with Hyperion, it will be great for his future plans of making Giant Love Company bigger and stronger.
Come to think of it, Talia has always been like this. She doesn't like to take advantage of the other party in a deal, and she will protect for the full two weeks if she agrees to do so.
"If Miss Tata doesn't mind me, I would like to stay with her for a while."
Hyperion looked at Talia and stammered a little embarrassedly.
"But I'll go to school next."
Hyperion added.
She will then resume school and her work in the student union.
She didn't dare let Lanci out of her sight, otherwise something strange might happen in Ikerit Academy while she was on vacation for two weeks.
"Then I'll pick you up from school every day."
Talia nodded and said.
"Then please."
Lan Qi breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
With Talia's careful protection, Hyperion's safety can be said to be foolproof.
It just made Lanqi feel that their conversation was a bit like a mother picking up her child from elementary school.
This is so weird, could this be Talia's mother's plan to take over the Duke's house for herself?
Chapter 195: The Great Love Poet is Real This Time
I don’t know how much time has passed.
The interior of the warehouse on the second floor of Boss Cat's restaurant seemed quite dim. A few weak beams of light by the window barely penetrated the thick rain curtains and drapes, leaving sporadic spots of light on the ground.
It doesn't look like a traditional storage room, but more like a hidden secret room. The room only relies on a few dim chandeliers as light sources, and each sturdy wooden board looks heavy and durable.
In the middle of the room, a man was tied to an iron chair, his body leaning forward, his head slightly drooping, his eyes closed, his cheeks pale, his hands and feet tightly tied with tough ropes. He was wearing dark clothes, and the dust was clearly visible under the dim light, as if he had been dragged on the ground.
When the door was closed again, the entire warehouse fell into a deep silence. Only the sound of rain hitting the window was heard, dripping like a continuous lullaby.
In this way, the warehouse remains unchanged.
"..."
Until Phoenix's brows finally began to frown and his eyelashes trembled slightly, which was a sign that he had regained consciousness.
The corners of his mouth twisted and a low roar came from his throat, as if he was troubled by some pain.
He tried to recall, but there were only vague memories like fog in his mind, which made him feel exhausted.
Then, Phoenix's eyes, which had been closed, slowly opened, revealing a cold, sharp look.
He felt the support of the hardwood chair back, his hands were locked tightly to the armrests of the chair by the cold handcuffs. He tried to make sense of the situation he was in, but what he felt more was anger and unwillingness.
The curse on his body could not be dispelled for a long time. It was obviously a terrible curse that far exceeded his level. It made him as weak as a seriously ill person and dying.
His brain still felt trembling from the sting of the mental trauma that had knocked him unconscious.
He raised his head with difficulty and looked forward. A dark wooden table occupied the center of his vision. On the table were several documents and two tea cups.
On the other side of the table sat two figures that were extremely familiar to him.
Lanqi was leaning back in his chair calmly, with steam rising from the teacup in his hand. He blew gently, savoring the moment's tranquility.
Hyperion sat aside, with the pen in her hand resting on the paper, ready to record every detail that followed.
Besides them, someone else adjusted the angle of a bright light on the table, and the light shone directly on Phoenix's face. He couldn't help but dodge and squint, and the muscles on his face were tense to resist this sudden stimulation.
"Do you know why you came in?"
Lanqi put down the teacup, looked at Phoenix twice, and asked calmly.
"Lanqi! You shouldn't tie me up. I want to see the professor of our college!"
Phoenix quickly remained calm and spoke righteously.
Even if he missed.
These guys had no way of confirming his identity, let alone convicting him.
At that time, the civilians in the restaurant were controlled by the Great Guignol Theater, and they couldn't even get any witnesses to his failed assassination attempt on the Duchess.
Seeing Phoenix's attitude, Lanqi said nothing.
"Phoenix, male, 19 years old, born on May 1778, 5 in the solar calendar, a citizen of the Kingdom of Alolan, unmarried, currently studying at the Royal College of Alolan, no criminal record, no loans, parents deceased, has a younger sister."
Lanqi picked up the document on the table and looked up at Phoenix while reading it.
This was the personal information, social status, family background, etc. of each student and teacher in the visiting academic team from the Kingdom of Alolan that he had asked Frey to investigate before coming.
"You're hiding pretty well, Resurrectionist."
Lanqi put down the documents in his hand and sighed at Phoenix.
"You are slandering, defaming, and infringing on my personal freedom!"
Phoenix looked indignant and yelled at Lanqi.
Phoenix was sure that as long as he refused to admit it, Lanqi would not be able to do anything to him, because Lanqi would have no evidence to prove that he was a member of the Resurrection Church.
Now in Ikerite, the capital of the King of Hedon, they can't lock themselves up for long or lynch themselves!
Otherwise, if Ikerita Academy finds out that a student from the visiting academic team of the Kingdom of Alolan is missing, it will certainly launch a thorough investigation. If the investigation leads to Lanci, Phoenix will still be able to bite back.
"Phoenix-san..."
Lanqi's voice was gentle but authoritative. He spoke slowly and each word was pronounced clearly and forcefully.
"You know, I've been in this business for so many years and have seen all kinds of bad students. Some repented, while others refused to change. But they were all corrected in the end. How long do you think this process would take for you?"
Lanqi just sat patiently at the table, his chin supported by his fingers crossed, looking at Phoenix with a smile.
Phoenix was a little scared for a moment.
He tried to reason, but Lanqi wouldn't listen to what he said.
As the saying goes, the soft fears the hard, the hard fears the stubborn, the stubborn fears the desperate, and the desperate fears the insane.
Lanqi is obviously the last type.
Phoenix lowered his head and gritted his teeth, thinking.
Thinking about it carefully, Phoenix still didn't understand why his perfect plan suddenly took a sharp turn for the worse when it was going smoothly, and then fell into Lanci's hands.
It seemed that from the moment he arrived in the Kingdom of Hutton, he had truly become the prey.
Everything was wrong.
It is obvious that Lanqi is in the light and he is in the dark!
Phoenix's heart was now filled with strange fear and regret.
Why did he want to provoke this guy? When he first saw this thing in the Purgatory Corridor Academy, he instinctively felt that he was quite bad.
At that time, Phoenix did not recognize that the Glowing Demon Principal would be a challenger, and did not even know that there was such a person as Lanqi. It was not until he returned to the human world that he received information from the Resurrection Church.
The glowing demon was played by an Ikerit Academy student named Ranci.
"Phoenix, whether you admit it or not, and whether we can make you admit that you are a Resurrectionist, it doesn't matter to me, because this is the fact."
Lanqi picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and then looked at the other figure standing next to him.
"Teacher Lan Fu, please come and do some ideological education work."
The poet of great love who had just pointed the light into Phoenix's eyes nodded and released the light, walked to Phoenix's side, and looked around him.
"who are you?!"
When Phoenix saw the figure of the gray-haired female demon again, he couldn't help but tremble all over and asked, as if it was an instinctive fear.
He was very sure that it was this guy who had mistaken him for an ant.
At this moment, she seemed to have taken off her disguise and returned to her true self, no longer using a cold face to hide her evil.
However, before she took action, it looked like only the first level!
“I am a great poet.”
The poet was wearing a black jacket, the hem of her dress fluttering in the wind, and a warden-like hat on her head. She had recently started asking Lanqi to buy her new clothes, but her taste was very strange.
"It's a pity that the three gods are not here, otherwise I wouldn't have to bother with them."
The poet of great love sighed deeply.
