Chapter 278: The Favored One Has No Fear_4

"There's no need for all the fuss, I can just stay at your place."

"..."

Hefei frowned as she thought about bringing the Old Witch back home. It was a good plan, as there was no need for a contrived encounter in alleyways - she would bump into Dark Knights and Death Knights as soon as she stepped out the door.

But then Saina suddenly wanted to stay at her place...

Sorry, we're just teacher and student. We're not that close.

Hefei suspected that Saina had ulterior motives and, given the complex relationships at home, she declined the request, assuring Saina that she would arrange a place for her to stay.

"No, Lando Manor."

"Does your mission have something to do with my family?"

Hefei's expression turned cold, "Who is it, Veronica... or me?"

"Neither."

Sensing Hefei's wariness, Saina felt helpless. Times had changed; students now had noble statuses, and she had to coax them. She decided to reveal her mission's objective.
