Vellia shrugged:
"Have you been following that guy Leoz for too long, thinking every problem can be solved by defeating the enemy?"
"No, Mr. Leoz didn't teach that."
Dai Yawen pinched her collar and shrugged:
"Speaking of which, Teacher Vellia, I've been with you for thirteen years, three times longer than I've been with Leoz. If we talk about closeness, shouldn't I be closer to you?"
Vellia laughed:
"That's true, you ought to forget that kid by now, right?"
"Not really."
Dai Yawen said plainly:
"I've just come to understand some things. I'm no longer Yawen who lives for a man, but Dai Yawen who seeks answers for herself—I specifically changed my surname to remind myself."
"That's good." Vellia propped her chin: "From the beginning, I felt you two weren't suitable."
"Master?"
