After listening to Yuansu's words, Hayden's face showed a hint of excitement, "Of course I believe Sister Stephanie, if it wasn't for her last time, we would have been miserable in the Broken Ancient Mountain Range, maybe we would have lost our lives!"

"Well, I believe her too!" Motojuku nodded.

"But what does this have to do with this search for the ruins of the ancient kingdom?"

"Don't you understand it now?" Motojuku sighed, "I want Stephanie to participate in this operation!"

Hayden hung his head, as if in serious thought.

Motojuku continued, "Rupert has been pursuing Stephanie, it is obvious that Stephanie has a high position in Rupert's heart, if Rupert really wants to be against us, then Stephanie will naturally not allow it, he always has to care about Stephanie's feelings!"

"But, but Rupert is really determined to harm us, even Sister Stephanie, so what should we do? Sister Stephanie is innocent!" Hayden's expression looked struggling.

"Then we will have to give up this mission, there is no other better way!" Motojuku also looked a little depressed.

He could naturally understand Hayden's worries, as a deceased prince with a heavy responsibility, Hayden had to be more cautious than all others, and what Yuansu appreciated was that Hayden still had a sincere and kind heart.

His mother also taught him that no matter how much tribulation and setbacks he endured, he should always believe in the light and the good.

However, the reality is often not as rosy as it seems, and sometimes choices and trade-offs must be made, sometimes even risky.

He didn't want to involve Stephanie in the matter, but it was clearly a better option, and they could only pray that Rupert wouldn't do anything for the sake of profit, as they least wanted to see.

Life is a choice.

Hayden was silent again, he really didn't have any reason to refute Yuanju's words, he knew that what Yuansu said was right.

Hayden quietly left Yuansu's room, and the one-person Yuansu began to cultivate again, which had become his habit.

Stephanie has been in a bit irritable lately, and seems a little listless every day, which stems from a dream she's been having a lot lately.

This dream has appeared from time to time since she began to remember, but since the past few days, she has dreamed more and more often.

Cold, dark, this was the tone of the scene in her dreams.

She has been running in the dark, aimlessly, and the scenes along the way are also around her, appearing like a marquee.

The raging river, the gilded crystal bridge, the river flowing with sharp knives, the steely forest, the bare earth, the giant dog with the bloody mouth, and the ghosts of all kinds of creatures scattered everywhere.

She never made it to the end, and she could only vaguely feel that someone seemed to be calling her ahead.

The scenes in the dream were very uncomfortable for Stephanie, a devout member of the Holy Church, and she understood what they meant.

It was hell, it was where the demons lived, and the demons were the best at demagoguery, and it scared her.

She didn't know why she had such a dream, but she knew it was definitely not a good sign, and she desperately wanted to get out of this disturbing state.

She thought of Yuanju, and since she met Yuanju, she has been full of interest in Yuanju, and there seems to be a special charm in Yuanju, which always attracts her to explore.

Yuanju's body exudes a calm temperament, and being by Yuanju's side can always make her feel extremely reassured, so she decides to find Yuansu to see if Yuansu can help somewhat.

Genjuku didn't expect Stephanie to take the initiative to find her.

It was an early morning, and the successive appearances of Hayden and Rupert obviously messed up Yuansu's cultivation plan, so it was already very late when he fell asleep again after he finished cultivating, and it was inevitable that he would have a rare sleep.

When he opened the door to get ready for the new day, he saw Stephanie walking towards him.

Yesterday's nightmare made her heart palpitate, and it also made her finally firm in her desire to find Yuanju.

After determining that Stephanie's target was himself, Genjuku took the initiative to greet Stephanie, "Good morning! Stephanie!"

He could see that Stephanie's condition was not very good, there was a faint layer of dark circles around her eyes, and the whole person looked a little haggard, which was a big gap from the previous brilliance.

Normally, he had less contact with Stephanie, and most of the time he saw him was just a courtesy greeting, and Stephanie seemed to be deliberately alienating him.

Ever since the incident in the Broken Ancient Mountain Range, the shadow of Stephanie would appear in Yuanju's heart from time to time.

Although he prides himself on not being interested in men and women, he also understands that Stephanie has attracted him.

Every time he saw Stephanie, he always had more expectations, but most of the time, Stephanie always had a cold and rejecting expression, and in the end he could only end up comforting himself.

In the past few days, he has also heard the news of Stephanie from Hayden's mouth, intentionally or unintentionally, and from today's situation, Stephanie's state is even worse than he imagined.

"Well, good morning!" Stephanie's voice was a little weak, sad and listless.

"You don't seem to be in a good state today, is something going on?" Motojuku looked at Stephanie with concern.

"It's not a big deal," Stephanie said hesitantly.

"Is it a family matter that makes it difficult for you to solve?"

Motosu remembered what Rupert said yesterday, Van Lunding had something to do with Rupert, and Van Lendin was Stephanie's grandfather, and naturally he was also a member of the family.

He had some understanding of Stephanie, Stephanie was an extremely strong person, unlike the current requirements for women in aristocratic families in the Western world, Stephanie did not want to live in the constraints of the family, she did not want to be a lady in the traditional sense.

This is also the reason why she will specifically find a master of swordsmanship to learn swordsmanship, and follow her grandfather Van Lunding to learn potions, she wants to have her independent value orientation, she wants to be herself.

"No, my grandfather should be worried about the family affairs!" Stephanie's mouth squeezed out a smile, "I've been having a nightmare lately!"

"Nightmare?" Motojuku looked a little surprised.

Yuansu also often had nightmares, but nightmares did not affect his state, nightmares always urged him to cultivate harder, and strengthened his beliefs.

"I felt the power of sin in my dreams, I felt the demon, and it seemed to be calling me all the time!" said Stephanie, a little nervous.

Yuansu pondered for a moment and comforted, "Maybe it's not the devil calling you, but the guidance of the gods!

Stephanie listened to Genjuku's words, and really showed a relieved expression, her heart has been resisting the darkness in her dream, but she forgot that the light was born in the darkness, is this the Heavenly Father is testing her?

She began to try to recall the contents of her dream, and she faintly saw a golden palace in the darkness, and she became excited at once.

"Maybe you've been under too much pressure lately and need to adjust it properly!" Motojuku continued, adding that he felt it was time to bring up his topic appropriately.

Stephanie smiled, and the spirit of the whole person suddenly rose to a higher level, and once again returned to the previous bright and radiant brilliance.

"Maybe I'm thinking too much, thank you so much!" Stephanie smiled.

"Haha! It's also a joy for me to see you regain your confidence!By the way, I forgot to tell you one thing, I may have to leave the Holy Light Magic Academy for a while!" Motojuku smiled happily.

"Away for a while?" Stephanie looked curious.

"Yes, it's not just me, but Hayden and Rupert!"

The expression on Stephanie's face immediately became gloomy, "You're all leaving, are you hiding something important from me?"

"We found the location of an ancient ruin, so we wanted to explore it, but the location is far away, and it is not particularly safe, and there are many unknown dangers."

"Do you think I'm going to be scared of danger?" said Stephanie, a little angry.

Yuansu naturally understood the meaning of Stephanie's words, "We only made a decision yesterday, and we wanted to tell you today, but I didn't expect you to come directly!"

"Maybe that's what Heavenly Father has given me!" Stephanie suddenly became a little silent, and then said slowly, "When are you leaving?"

"Just these two days!" Motojuku replied briefly.

"Okay, then we'll see you in two days!" Stephanie was neat, and then without waiting for Motojuku to answer, she walked lightly in front of Motojuku's house, and then walked in the other direction of the Holy Light Magic Academy.

Looking at Stephanie's back as she gradually moved away, Yuansu suddenly laughed, he didn't expect things to go so smoothly, everything seemed to be arranged.

After a brief breakfast, Yuansu found Liz, who was not at ease to leave Liz alone in the Holy Light Magic Academy, which was definitely a safe place despite the presence of Van Lundin.

However, he still wanted to ask Liz's opinion, and Motosu explained the situation to Liz, but Liz still didn't speak, but she nodded in agreement.

Motojuku was relieved, and only by keeping Liz by his side could he feel at ease.

The Holy Light Academy of Magic is not very strict with the management of students, and they can leave the campus freely after a simple report.

Two days later, Yuanju, Hayden, Rupert, Stephanie, and Liz had all assembled.
