Capítulo 1280: Chapter 720: Parting and Reunion
This led to the event of the Saint Heir being murdered, which should have fizzled out after a while, instead maintaining a high level of intensity and getting increasingly intense.
So, when Christina saw the young lady and the Chairman return earlier, she was this nervous. If these two were to appear again, the already terrifying situation might escalate further, potentially leading to an internal war over legitimacy between the Angel Witches and Demon Witches.
Of course, it could also get so out of hand that both the Council of Sages and Lord Demon King might get displeased, causing the Judgment Court to intervene, capturing everyone involved to forcibly suppress and mediate the conflict.
In doing so, the so-called Angel Witch Clan would be finished, and there would only be two of the Three Witch Monarchs left.
Thinking of this possibility, the newly appointed Clown Inquisitor Elemental Empress couldn’t help but glance at her superior beside her.
“Great, Lord Clown, here’s another chance for you to shine. Hurry up and act; my Magic is itching for action. It’s definitely not because of the Points I racked up last time following you that I want to earn more Points again, definitely not, even though the Points from that task were worth several months of part-time work for me.”
Unfortunately, the Lord Clown Inquisitor was busy pulling out her Spellbook and surfing the internet at lightning speed to understand what had happened during their absence, paying no attention to the hopeful look in her poor subordinate’s eyes.
“Wow, it’s really become a mess, hasn’t it? But weren’t we told to lay low for a while and that the remaining matters would be handled by others?”
After understanding everything, Dorothy couldn’t help but feel a bit speechless.
She recalled her previous conversation with the Chief Justice of Righteousness, where this Grand Angel Judge had assured her that such matters weren’t her concern, and this was the result?
The homebody witch couldn’t help but purse her lips.
Though she knew the issue between her and Sophia was just the spark to the powder keg, the root of the current situation lay in the long-standing issues of the God King Sect, which had exploded all at once.
The conflicts were far more than what was visible now, and there might be even more hidden struggles, possibly tracing back to the founding of the God King Sect and the so-called Thirteen Disciples.
This was a struggle among the Sages, not something easily quelled.
Tch, it’s something I can’t afford to provoke, staying away is better. Witch Academy is located within the Angel Witch’s territory, which is quite dangerous, better to make a quick exit to avoid getting dragged into trouble.
In any case, they were going to Venus City in a few days, which is Demon Witch territory. Even if the Angel Witches’ heads were struck, it wouldn’t affect them.
But….
“Miss, please forgive me. I might have to leave for a while, and I won’t be accompanying you on the trip to Venus City later.”
Sophia was silent for a moment. After a while, she took a deep breath, then looked at Dorothy and said.
Homebody Witch: “….”
Dorothy was momentarily stunned, then quickly understood what her roommate meant.
She also fell silent for a moment.
To be honest, she kind of wanted to scold Sophia for being crazy, knowing how troublesome this was and yet jumping right in. But, she held her tongue in the end.
Just like how others couldn’t understand her refusal to inherit Mother Dragon’s position, Sophia’s choice likewise was hard for others to comprehend, but these were choices they both made themselves.
“Have you thought it through?”
Dorothy just wanted to confirm once more.
“Yes.”
Sophia nodded.
“No regrets?”
“No regrets.”
“Then it’s fine, go ahead, good luck, just call me if anything comes up.”
Dorothy nodded in agreement.
Thus, the Pure White Witch stood up, looked around the dorm where she had lived for several years, and then, after some thought, entered what used to be her room.
Opening the door, just as Christina had said, she hadn’t been in the room for months, and everything remained as it was.
Sophia looked nostalgically around the room, then packed away her past trophies, medals, and certificates that hadn’t been tidied up, placing them in her bag.
She probably wouldn’t be returning to this dorm at the Tower of Shine again.
A flame began to burn in the golden eyes of the Pure White Witch. She had been following the young lady for too long, becoming somewhat lazy and stagnant, but now she had rested enough; it was time to continue working.
After packing her things, Sophia returned to the living room. She gave a final look at the young lady still sitting on the sofa playing with cats and dragons, then without a word, with nothing more than exchanging glances, the Pure White Witch walked straight to the balcony, unfurled her six pristine wings, and disappeared as a streak of light into the night sky.
However, just as the Pure White Witch was about to fly out of Witch Academy, a streak of light shot towards her from the direction of the Academy Head’s office.
Before it could get close, another red-haired figure intercepted it.
This was Maria, the Vice-Admiral of the Revelation Battle Group.
This Peak Witch had somehow appeared by Sophia’s side.
“Maria, hand it over to me.”
