Baiyi and the Scholar Walker were in the Void discussing special beautification techniques, so they did not speak in the real world. This made Vidomina and her daughter feel a little awkward. The Duchess, however, took the initiative to start a conversation. "Speaking of which, Master Hope, what is your level? Immortal-tier? Or a higher Holy Spirit? "
"Uhh … I guess I'm at Master-tier," Baiyi replied casually.
The soon-to-be-widowed beauty covered her mouth and chuckled. "Master Hope, you sure like to joke around. You just didn't participate in the advancement exam, right?"
The advancement exam was not important. What was important was how this beauty could smile so openly, even when her husband was so sick. Ever since he met Vidomina, she had not smiled so happily.
Perhaps she had already found someone to take over her? But considering the power of this bloodline curse, would there really be anyone who would dare to accept it? Or … Baiyi suddenly had a hunch, so he asked, "Madame, you said that you have the same curse on you as well? Can I have a look? "As he spoke, he reached out his psychic power to probe the Duchess's body.
The Duchess, who had been relaxed a moment ago, suddenly pulled a long face. She dispelled his psychic energy and replied in a slightly annoyed tone, "Master Hope, please have some self-respect. Many female powerhouses have examined you, and they have confirmed the existence of that terrible curse. " She emphasized the words' self-respect 'and' female ', as if she was blaming Baiyi for his rudeness.
Baiyi quickly apologized, "I'm sorry. I was rude."
He could not do anything about it. A man asking a woman to examine his psychic energy was no different from being a hooligan. Vidomina was his student, and she had not dared to resist his advances. Of course, it would not work on someone else's mother.
The atmosphere became a little awkward. After the meal, the three of them returned to the Duke's room. The moment the Duchess entered, she saw the unusual detection formation. Curious, she took a few steps closer and asked, "Master Hope, what is this?"
"A formation that detects the source of a curse. I specially modified it," Baiyi replied casually. Baiyi replied casually, his attention focused on the minute changes that had occurred to the formation due to the Duchess's approach. He continued to explain, "I hope to find the source of the curse, analyze the curse, and come up with a countermeasure to deal with it."
"I see …" The Duchess mumbled as she moved a little further away from the formation. She clasped her hands behind her back and asked, "A lot of people have tried to come up with this idea, but none of them succeeded. Has Master Hope found anything?"
"Not yet," Baiyi answered honestly.
"Then … Why did you remove all the life-sustaining runes around my husband?" The duchess's words were laced with hostility. "Are you trying to kill my husband?"
Unlike Vidomina, the Duchess was able to see the changes in the room at a glance.
"Don't worry, I'll restore them to their original state in no time," Baiyi said, making up a story.
"If it's possible, I hope you can start recovering now." The Duchess's face was as cold as ice. In her eyes, Baiyi's actions were akin to a barefoot doctor pulling out a patient's oxygen tube. The fact that she did not order her men to take Baiyi down was because she was a little wary of his image as a savior.
The Duchess had been flirting with her a moment ago, and now she wanted her husband to die as soon as possible. Any other person would have leaped at Baiyi and fought him to the death.
Vidomina could hear the anger in her mother's voice, and she turned to look at Baiyi suspiciously. Baiyi had no choice but to deactivate the monitoring formation, which had wasted a lot of his materials, and begin to restore the life-sustaining systems that he had destroyed.
Fortunately, it was not a big deal. The formation had accomplished its mission, had it not?
After the Duchess left, Vidomina stayed behind to assist Baiyi. Baiyi thought for a moment, then signaled for the two maids to leave the room. After closing the door, he turned to Vidomina and asked, "Is your mother … good to you?"
"Of course! She's the person who treats me the best in the world! She's also the person I love the most! "Vidomina answered without hesitation.
After that, Baiyi continued to repair the Duke's life-prolonging items. At the same time, he asked Vidomina a few questions, most of which were about her mother. Thanks to Baiyi's probing, Vidomina did manage to learn some information that the maid did not dare to divulge.
For example, this beauty was the Duke's third wife. His first two wives were ordinary noblewomen, and after bearing the Duke's three sons, they quickly grew old and were abandoned by the Duke. It was not until he met his third wife, who was as beautiful as a goddess, that the two of them lived happily ever after.
This made the situation even more complicated. The source of the curse was uncertain, as any member of the Duke's family could inflict the same curse on the family. The Duke had three wives and four children, and Vidomina's three brothers were already married. Even the eldest son's two sons were already married. The Duke's family was much larger than the average family. Any one of these factors could lead to a problem, and if someone lied, the clue would be lost.
Fortunately, Baiyi had already made some progress. He sat down next to the Duke and carefully examined the curse in the Duke's body. He called Vidomina over and said, "Let me examine your body again, okay?"
Vidomina's face flushed red but she still nodded her head reluctantly. Suppressing the embarrassment of having her entire body scrutinized, she allowed Baiyi to do whatever he wanted.
When the examination was finally over, Vidomina wrapped her arms around her chest and asked timidly, "Mentor, how was it? Is it Yan Jun? "
"It's fine. The curse hasn't shown any signs of acting up," Baiyi replied. "I just don't know about your mother's —"
Before he could finish, Vidomina's angry voice rang out, "Mentor! My father isn't dead yet! "
"Huh?" Baiyi was surprised.
"You … You care about my mother that much? You've been asking me about her all this time … "Vidomina said angrily, tears welling up in her eyes. She did not expect Baiyi to be so obsessed with her mother." I've met a lot of people who wanted to be my father, but you're the mentor I respect the most. I don't want you to have those filthy thoughts in your heart! "
She angrily pushed the door open and left, slamming it shut behind her. Baiyi was left alone in the room.
After a loud bang, Baiyi said helplessly, "What the f * ck? Do I look like that kind of person?"
"So, what should I do now? I've been hated by my own students … "Baiyi said in the Void.
Baiyi spent the entire afternoon alone in his room. It was only when the sun was about to set that Vidomina pushed the door open and entered the room. She looked at the Duke, who was frowning in pain, and then, with a disappointed look, she turned to Baiyi, who was still at his wits' end. "Mentor, is the examination over? If it doesn't work, why don't we go home? "
"I'm so sorry, Vidomina," Baiyi said in a low voice.
"It's okay," Vidomina said with a bitter smile. "I'm used to it …"
As she spoke, she walked to the bedside and held the Duke's hand that was as thin as a tree branch. Tears rolled down her cheeks as she sobbed and said, "Our family has actually gotten used to it … Father had already arranged for his funeral a few months ago, and Big Brother has also made preparations to inherit the title … But even so, I … I still …"
At the end of her sentence, she could not continue anymore. She laid her head on the bed and burst into tears. Baiyi was her last hope, and now, even this person, who was known as hope, had failed to bring hope to her. All she could do now was to endure the despair and despair.
"I'm so sorry." Baiyi walked to Vidomina's side and said, "I'll go alone. You should spend more time with him …"
In the end, Baiyi climbed into the carriage that he had used to get to the Sorcerer's Association. The Duchess was the only one who came out to see him off. She bowed deeply to Baiyi. Although she had been verbally harassed by Baiyi, she still looked calm. She said politely, "Vidomina, please take care of me in the future."
Baiyi nodded silently and closed the carriage door. After a while, the carriage dropped him off at the entrance of the Sorcerer's Association. Baiyi took out the communication tablet from his inner pocket, and soon, Tisdale's face appeared on the tablet. On one side of the tablet was Mia's curious head, and on the other, the tip of Nota's witch hat could be seen swaying back and forth.
"I won't be back tonight. Take care of yourselves, and be careful," Baiyi said.
"Huh? Is it really that troublesome? Even you can't handle it, Teacher? "Tisdale asked with a frown. They all knew why Baiyi was there.
"It's … troublesome," Baiyi said, scratching his head. "Anyway, just be careful!"
"You too, Teacher."
Baiyi put away the communication tablet and looked in the direction of Vidomina's house. "Looks like I'm destined to do something that will make my students hate me …"
