The secret from ten years ago piqued the interest of several girls present.
Seeing that her best friends were interested in that story, Ai Tutu also enthusiastically recounted the past.
When Ai Tutu recounts how the senior student from ten years ago exposed her ice-type disaster-causing ability during the World University Tournament and was subsequently targeted by the people of the Holy City.
Even after a long period of confrontation and negotiation, when the Great Xia still ended up with the Iceberg sealed away, everyone present looked indignant.
Ding Yumin, in particular, turned somewhat pale.
Although Ding Yumin has not shown any signs of losing control for more than a year now, the thought of being exposed as a victim and facing malice from the whole world still haunts her.
Her body suddenly felt cold and shivered.
She had already learned from Grandpa Xiao and Grandpa Fu that the exposure of the victims' identities would have serious consequences.
Her two elders had always warned her that she must never reveal her identity as a victim of the disaster before she had fully matured.
As for what constitutes complete maturity?
The answer is at least to reach the level of a forbidden spell mage.
She couldn't imagine what kind of danger she would face if her identity as a victim were exposed to the world.
Will the people around me be affected by this?
It would be better if she just died and ended it all.
If Su Lan and the others were to be harmed because of her, Ding Yumin would rather leave this warm home right now.
I'm so reluctant to part with it...
The group, still recounting the story of Qin Yu'er, the ice-type victim, were so focused on the subsequent developments that they failed to notice Ding Yumin's situation.
Because they didn't know that their best friend was a victim of the disaster.
Just as Ding Yumin was lost in thought, a warm, large hand quietly pulled her into its embrace.
Ding Yumin, who had just been on the verge of self-destruction because of Qin Yu'er's situation, slowly came back to her senses because of this warm embrace and the sense of security she felt.
She stared blankly at Su Lan, only to find Su Lan looking at Ding Yumin with concern.
"What nonsense are you thinking? Let me make it very clear to you now: even if your identity as a victim is exposed, you don't need to worry about being hunted down by the Holy City."
"Because before the Holy City punishes you, I will destroy the Holy City with Serafina."
These words were not spoken directly, but were transmitted directly into Ding Yumin's mind using a small technique of mind magic.
As Su Lan spoke, her firm resolve and domineering aura were also conveyed to Ding Yumin.
Moreover, because Ding Yumin was a victim of the disaster and had a close relationship with Su Lan, simple heart-to-heart communication could resonate with her.
Ding Yumin felt an immense sense of security emanating from Su Lan's emotional fluctuations, like a small boat on a stormy sea being smoothed out by a giant hand of heaven, and the sea was once again bathed in sunshine.
Girls with an awakened spirituality are very sensitive and easily become immersed in various emotions.
Suddenly surrounded by Su Lan's strong sense of security, Ding Yumin completely fell into Su Lan's gentle embrace.
She couldn't help but tilt her head up and kiss Su Lan, lingering there for a long time.
Ye Xinxia, who was standing to the side, had seen everything from beginning to end.
She felt no bitterness because her man had been taken from her; only heartache for Ding Yumin.
Ding Yumin was a victim of the disaster, and she was one of the people who knew about it.
From the moment Ai Tutu mentioned that Senior Qin Yu'er was an ice-type disaster victim, she would occasionally glance at Ding Yumin out of the corner of her eye.
Especially when Ai Tutu talked about Qin Yu'er's tragic experience, she saw Ding Yumin on the verge of collapse.
As fellow mind-based mages, especially after her magical talent was elevated to genius level, she could sense that Ding Yumin had developed a self-destructive tendency for a moment.
She had felt this emotion since she first met Ding Yumin a year ago.
After analyzing the situation with Su Lan's brother, she realized that Ding Yumin's emotions stemmed from her status as a victim of the disaster.
After spending this time together, Ding Yumin's negative emotions have largely subsided.
Unexpectedly, because of Qin Yu'er's situation, Ding Yumin developed self-destructive tendencies again.
Fortunately, with Su Lan's timely intervention and comfort, there will definitely be no problems.
She glanced helplessly at Aitutu, who was talking animatedly and even cursing the Holy City without regard for his image, and was about to change the subject.
Unexpectedly, someone spoke first.
"Brother Su, Sister Yu Mian, you can't pretend we don't exist!"
Bai Tingting's slightly resentful voice interrupted Ai Tutu, who was about to continue criticizing the Holy City.
At this moment, Mu Nujiao, who was listening intently, and Ai Tutu, who was talking enthusiastically, immediately looked at Su Lan and Ding Yumin, who were still embracing and kissing.
For a moment, everyone stared at the two with different expressions.
Ding Yumin had already come to her senses while Bai Tingting was speaking.
Especially when her sisters were staring intently at her, her face flushed red, and she immediately moved her red lips away and buried her head in Ye Xinxia's arms.
After calming Ding Yumin down, Su Lan met the complicated gazes of Bai Tingting, Ai Tutu, and Mu Nujiao. He hesitated for a fraction of a second before speaking:
"Would you like to give it a try?"
As soon as Su Lan finished speaking, the three girls' faces all turned rosy.
"You big idiot! Trying to take advantage of me? No way!"
Ai Tutu spoke first, her face flushed as she retorted.
Ai Tutu's eyes were fixed on Su Lan's red lips, and for some reason, she felt a little restless.
However, her usually carefree personality made her subconsciously refuse.
Mu Nujiao didn't say anything, but just rolled her eyes at Su Lan.
As their relationship grew closer, these words had been spoken several times without making her feel embarrassed.
Bai Tingting licked her lips and glanced at Ai Tutu, who had spoken first, with a hint of dejection.
If Ai Tutu hadn't spoken up, she might have taken the initiative.
But after Ai Tutu said that, she immediately lost her spirit.
The little farce was over for the time being, and they didn't notice the change in Ding Yumin's emotions as she nestled in Ye Xinxia's arms.
They assumed Ding Yumin was just shy in front of them, so they teased her from the side.
Just then, Apas, who had just returned from the Blue Sky Hunting Grounds, saw the house bustling with activity and immediately joined in.
It must be said that Apas's personality and temperament change depending on the objects she faces.
She can argue and bicker with Lingling, who's a little adult, all the time, and she can also be on friendly terms with Ye Xinxia and the other girls, without it feeling out of place at all.
Apas's petite yet mature figure has always been the center of attention among women.
The event lasted until the early hours of the morning before everyone left.
As Su Lan escorted Bai Tingting to the door, perhaps triggered by what happened earlier that day, Bai Tingting lightly touched Su Lan's face just as she was about to turn away.
It then quickly disappeared into the night.
Su Lan, who was standing at the door, watched Bai Tingting return to the villa not far away before closing the door.
However, Su Lan didn't see it, but Mu Nujiao happened to see this scene when she closed the door of the villa next door.
