There was a hint of sadness in Juxi's eyes, of course, he knew exactly what the principal's intentions were.

Juxi probably knew more about the true identity of the principal than anyone else, and he didn't want to reveal too much in front of that person.

It was clear from Juxi's expression that he was deliberately trying to distract the principal, and he had already conspired with Ancestor.

"Well...hehe, you guys are amazing!"

The principal chuckled bitterly, shaking her head, her eyes emanating a daunting blue light.

Now she realized that she had been kept in the dark all along, Ancestor and Juxi would not have believed in the so-called New Continent Theory. This principal seemed to be just a school authority figure, but now it seemed that things were not as simple as they appeared.

"Very well, if you want to know the truth...you can, but don't regret it afterwards!"

The principal left with a harsh remark, as if warning them.

After the principal left and went far away, Juxi deliberately went to the window to catch a glimpse of her figure before finally walking towards Ancestor's location with relief.

"It seems that the principal is not as simple as we originally thought...it seems that she is not on our side."

Ancestor shook his head.

"More than that, in my opinion, the one behind all this probably has a significant relationship with her!"

Juxi snorted and patted Ancestor's shoulder.

Although the student's room was safe, Juxi was still a bit worried. After a brief exchange with Ancestor, he left.

Flames...

Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!

Before I could even wake up from my sleep, the room was engulfed in raging flames.

At that moment, it felt as if my whole body was being devoured by the fire, and all I could hear were the voices of my parents and sister.

"Son, run!!"

"Paroni, take your sister and leave this place, the farther the better!!"

"Wuwuwu, brother..."

Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!

I screamed as I sat up, only to find that the sounds around me had changed in an instant.

I thought I would see the ruins after the fire had burned, but at this moment, I was sleeping in a flowerbed surrounded by fresh air, with no signs of fire and disaster.

"I will never forget that day...never..."

I clenched my teeth and jumped out of bed.

Looking around, I realized that it was my room. How familiar everything was. I went back to bed, closed my eyes slowly.

After all, the sky was still dark, and there was no point in waking up in the middle of the night. I'll sleep a little longer and wait for daylight.

Ten minutes later...

"I can't sleep at all."

Helpless, I looked for slippers on the floor with my bare arms, went to the bathroom to wash my face, and also took the opportunity to clean off the sweat on my body.

"Hmm?"

I happened to look in the mirror and was surprised to find that I hadn't paid attention to the number of wounds on my body for a long time. As I looked, I saw that my body was covered in wounds.

Things didn't go as smoothly as I had imagined. When I touched the largest scar on my body, intense pain shot through me.

The wound on my body was left by my first use of the Golden Spear, but fortunately, it is almost healed now. Just give me a week to recover, and the Magic Sword will be able to be unsheathed again!

Although there is a strange excitement, a sudden sense of loneliness mercilessly suppresses this excitement.

"Sigh..." I sighed heavily, "Dad! Mom! I..."

What am I doing exactly?

"Big brother..."

Just as I was feeling confused, a familiar voice echoed in my ears once again.

At the same time, I could feel a soft body surrounding me, as if it was pressed against me.

Although I really wanted to take a look at her, the injuries on my body have consumed a lot of my energy, to the point where I can't even see her existence with my naked eyes.

"Nana... are you there?"

I gradually closed my eyes, concentrating all my focus, and then reached out to touch her.

At first, my left hand aimlessly floated in front of me, not knowing where to go. But at that moment, a pair of slender palms suddenly held my left hand and placed it on her cheek... Cheek?

"Can you see it, big brother..."

Her voice was familiar, but I couldn't see anything. I could only follow her hands and gently caress her cheek.

"Big brother, no matter how sad and pessimistic you are, you have to remember that your little sister has always been by your side."

My little sister's sweet voice echoed in my ear, sounding close, yet also distant.

The night was still long, but I had long lost any desire to sleep.

Speaking of my life, it's actually quite comfortable now. Plus, I've suffered some serious injuries, so I can only rest at home for a while, until I can move normally and join the army in the north again.

"Ah... it hurts!"

Suddenly, I felt someone applying something on my back, making me very uncomfortable.

So, I endured the pain and turned around.

"Don't move! I'm applying medicine to you..."

Behind me, my sister's voice suddenly entered my ears.

Although I know what my sister's current state is like, I still firmly believe that there must be a way in this world for her to have a new life again.
