Becoming a wet nurse is not the end of the story.

"Mmm...it tastes so good."

"Right, Irabelle? If it's good, drink more!" Watching her friends happily gulp down the fish soup she had made, Lin Xueyin felt a little excited too.

"The barbecue is almost done, I'm going to go check on it."

Clapping her hands, Lin Xueyin quickly walked to the grill and looked at the whole deer on it. She picked up the knife that was stuck in the wooden frame next to her and made a few cuts on it.

Looking at the roasted venison, he cut off another large piece, put it on a plate, and handed it to Princess Irabel. After all, apart from the children, she was the most important person here, and it would be somewhat impolite not to give her priority.

The enticing aroma of the roasted venison on the plate was making Irabel's mouth water. Just as she was about to take out her knife and fork to cut the meat, she saw that Lin Xueyin had already shared a lot of the meat with the others.

She picked up a piece of roasted meat with her hands and tore it apart with large bites. This somewhat barbaric behavior, which was clearly very impolite, gave her a different kind of beauty.

"Mmm...it's delicious."

With each bite of the venison, the juices burst in her mouth, and the unique aroma of the venison lingered in her mind.

"Little girl, wipe your hands."

Orichils was a bit of a headache looking at the venison. As an elf, he didn't like eating meat, but this girl had only made meat dishes today.

Looking at the untouched piece of venison in front of Orichalcos, Lin Xueyin suddenly realized that she had been a little too complacent.

“Orichils, yes, I’m sorry, I just forgot.”

Looking at the girl with a guilty and even somewhat timid expression, Orichils didn't feel much anger. Instead, he calmly comforted the cute little girl.

"Hmm, no, no, I prepared other food for you."

Lin Xueyin chuckled and hurriedly picked up a shovel she had prepared earlier. She turned over the soil in the fire pit under the fish pot a few times and saw some brownish lumps of things tumbling out.

"Ta-da! Look what this is!"

Because it was too hot to handle, Lin Xueyin used her staff to move the brown pieces onto a plate and then handed them to Orichalcos.

"what is this?"

"Hehe, this is called roasted sweet potato, it tastes really good, you should try it."

Seeing Lin Xueyin smiling like a little fox, Orichils knew she wouldn't trick him, but he still felt a little uneasy.

In fact, Lin Xueyin herself was not sure whether this was a sweet potato or not. However, since it was something that looked like a plant root that she had dug up from the ground, it was similar to a sweet potato, so she decided to call it that for now.

Anyway, I'm here, and there are plenty of antidotes. Even if something really goes wrong, I can save myself. Cough cough, let's just treat this as an experiment.

Looking at the brown skin, Orichalcos was about to take a bite when Lin Xueyin quickly stopped him.

This isn't how you eat it; this is how you eat it. Gently peel back the outer skin to reveal the soft, red flesh inside, and a wonderful aroma wafts out. It's incredibly tempting.

"Oh, I want to eat it too, Sister Lin, I want to eat it too."

"Ah, ah, they all have them, they all have them..." Seeing Olihirs eating roasted sweet potatoes with gusto, Lin Xueyin breathed a sigh of relief. The people around her, especially the four little girls, were so tempted by the roasted sweet potatoes that they surrounded Lin Xueyin and begged for some.

"Delicious fish soup, mysterious roasted sweet potato, I really don't know how many more surprises you can give us."

Irabelle looked at the girl with several little girls, her face beaming with a happy smile, and a strange light flickered in her eyes.

Volume 7 The Collapsed Alliance: Chapter 8 Face, Oh Face

Several days had passed since they went to the Royal Hunting Grounds, and Lin Xueyin and the others returned to their previous routines. What should have been a smooth life was now plagued by some troublesome issues.

For example, right now, Lin Xueyin looked at the teacher standing in front of her with a headache and a disgusted expression, completely unable to understand what she had done to offend him.

Klinsteen Namar looked at the girl in front of her with disgust. This kind of person was simply a cancer in the academy. She didn't learn anything, and once she achieved a little success, she didn't know who she was anymore. How could she not hate her?

"Lin Xueyin, what can a student like you achieve in the future? Don't think you're someone just because you've achieved a little success now. Remember, this is the Holy Priest Academy. Every student here will be stronger and more capable than you in the future."

"Oh, oh, that's amazing."

Lin Xueyin admitted she had no idea how to respond. She couldn't very well say, "They could never be better than me in this lifetime." Lin Xueyin was having a headache, especially seeing the admiring and envious glances in the small class, which only added to her frustration.

"What kind of student are you? How can our holy priests have someone like you?"

Enraged by Lin Xueyin's dismissive attitude, she trembled as she pointed at Lin Xueyin's innocent little face, wishing she could throw that annoying face outside so she would never see it again.

"Teacher, I don't know why you say that, but I don't believe a teacher should insult their students like that."

"Ha, you have the nerve to call yourself a student? You never attend class, and when you do, you just yawn all the time. You still have the nerve to call yourself a student?"

Namar's mocking and disdainful gaze made Lin Xueyin very unhappy. However, thinking about it, she realized that she had indeed been skipping classes and was somewhat in the wrong, so there was no need to start a conflict with him here.

"Whatever you want."

Suddenly feeling a bit tired, I turned around and decided to leave. Since this place was so boring, I might as well leave.

"What, skipping class again?"

His mocking gaze was full of contempt for the girl, as if he were looking at something filthy, which made Lin Xueyin very angry.

"Want to leave early? That's easy. Just make sure you can use a holy attack spell to leave a trace on that testing stone, and I'll let you leave get out of class early and you'll never have to come to my class again. How about that?"

"What about the final exams?" Seeing that the other party dared to say such a thing, Lin Xueyin thought, "Since you've already offered your face, I won't be polite and will slap you in the face."

"Of course I'll give you an excellent grade, that should be enough, right? Now you have no reason to refuse. I want to see if you have the ability."

Looking at the man with a cold smile, Lin Xueyin had already rolled up her sleeves, revealing a section of her jade-like arm. "Remember what you said, and I won't be polite."

With a cold gaze, she looked at the man who was looking at her with disdain, then glanced at the crowd of onlookers around her, a chilling smile playing on her lips.

He moved his fingers slightly and arrived at the testing position without taking out his staff.

When the people around learned that Lin Xueyin had been forced by her teacher to try using attack magic, they came here with their own thoughts.

Of course, it wasn't just people from the Holy Priest Academy who came; even students from surrounding academies flocked to see what kind of abilities this supposedly miraculous young priestess possessed.

"Hehe, let's wait a bit and have people from other colleges come and be witnesses."

Namar stopped the girl who was about to unleash her skill, and then smiled and told her to wait a moment. Since things had already blown up, there was no need to sneak around. Let everyone witness it, and let them see through this deceitful woman.

"Hey, did you hear? That Holy Resurrection Priest is actually going to use offensive magic to test me."

"Yes, I heard about it. Apparently, it's because they looked down on the teacher that they were forced to take the test."

"No way, they actually look down on the teacher? The teacher's abilities are far superior to hers."

"That's not necessarily true. After all, the teacher can't perform a mass resurrection spell, but her abilities have been tested in real combat."

"Tch, resurrection isn't an offensive spell. Looks like she's going to run into a brick wall this time."

"Serves her right. She's so arrogant every day. She deserves to be unlucky."

Some people around her mocked her, while others looked at the young pastor standing in the testing area with concern, worried about how she would face the ridicule if something went wrong.

"Yukine? What happened?"

Seeing Lin Xueyin standing in the middle, Irabel angrily walked over to the center, her cold aura constantly surrounding her, making the onlookers feel a chill.

"Ha, Irabelle, you're here too. Perfect, you can be a witness here."

Having already learned the details of the matter from her attendants, Irabel frowned slightly and glanced at Namar, who was looking at her with a mocking expression not far away. Even if Lin Xueyin didn't pursue the matter, she would pursue it to the end.

"Okay, you just watch from the side, it'll be done soon."

Pulling Irabelle to her side, Lin Xueyin shook her arm and said, "Teacher Namar, as the princess of the Empire, how about Irabelle being a witness here? Is that acceptable?"

Seeing Princess Irabel being so close to Lin Xueyin, Namar was very dissatisfied. But could he really say he doubted the princess's impartiality? Wouldn't that be asking for trouble?

Left with no other choice, she could only nod. Now she had to rely on the surrounding audience. If she made a fool of herself, even if the princess favored Lin Xueyin, she wouldn't be able to silence the gossip.

However, he hadn't considered what would happen if the other party actually succeeded. Or rather, he hadn't even considered that the other party could leave a mark on the testing stone—something even a high-ranking priest couldn't easily do.

With her eyes closed, she raised her hand and chanted. As the girl's jade-like arm gently swayed down, a gigantic holy sword gradually took shape in the sky. To the horror of the crowd, it crashed down.

The golden light instantly forced everyone to close their eyes, and the deafening roar made them cover their ears tightly. The violent storm created by the explosion made it difficult for some trainees to even stand.

Volume 7 The Collapsed Alliance: Chapter 9 A Storm is Brewing (Two chapters released together)

A crisp cracking sound came from her chin. As the storm gradually subsided, everyone saw the scene inside the testing ground again. The testing ground, which had been razed to the ground, made Lin Xueyin stick out her tongue.

I thought these testing stones were very sturdy, and I was worried that I might accidentally fail, so I went all out. But I didn't expect it to cause such a big mess.

With twitching lips and an embarrassed turn of her head, Lin Xueyin looked at Irabel, who was equally bewildered. Her shocked expression and slightly parted lips told her that she had really messed up again.

"Irabelle, um, you're not going to make me pay compensation, are you?"

Such a large testing ground must be very expensive. If I had to pay for it myself, I probably couldn't afford it even if I sold myself.

Irabel stared blankly at Lin Xueyin, watching her cautious and timid demeanor. Her inner shock subsided slightly. She knew this girl was strong, but to be this strong was simply too terrifying.

"Hmm, you're not really going to make me pay compensation, are you? I'm innocent! It's not my fault at all. It's all that teacher's fault. It has nothing to do with me."

Lin Xueyin's voice trembled with fear and discontent as she waved her fist at the teacher, expressing her protest.

"Those are minor matters; you won't be required to pay compensation."

Dressed in a blue robe, an elderly man with white hair stood in the crowd not far away, holding a staff. A sharp glint flashed in his cloudy eyes.

"This is???"

Lin Xueyin felt completely unfamiliar with the person who suddenly spoke, but she heard Namar's trembling voice.

"Dean, Dean, this, this is..."

"Alright, you don't need to say anything more. Go to the finance department and collect your salary for this month. You don't need to be a teacher here anymore."

"No, Dean, you can't do this to me! I didn't do anything! I didn't do anything!" Namar's legs went weak when he heard that the Dean had expelled him on the spot.

His cloudy eyes showed absolutely no sympathy for Namar, who was kneeling on the ground. "Don't think everyone else is a fool. I don't want to pursue what you did any further, but I hope you'll take care of yourself."

“Dean Antonils, it’s been a long time.”

Irabel led Lin Xueyin to the white-haired old man and greeted him with very formal and elaborate etiquette. To be so highly regarded by a princess, this man was likely one of the few Saint-level Archmages among the human race—Antonils.

Looking closely at the shy girl in front of him, Antonius nodded slightly. "As expected, heroes emerge from among the young. That attack just now was probably at the Berserker level."

Despite saying that, the archmage had no faith in his own ideas. He simply couldn't believe that such a young girl was a Saint-level being like him.

"Hello, Dean. Um, are you sure you don't need me to make compensation?" Lin Xueyin looked at the test site behind her, which had been reduced to a flat ground. She had just turned all the facilities in the middle into powder. Was it really okay for her not to make herself compensate?

"Don't worry, we're overjoyed to have a genius like you in the academy, how could we possibly let you shoulder such a heavy debt?"

Hearing the dean's words, Lin Xueyin finally breathed a sigh of relief. Not having to repay debts or make compensation was exactly what she had been dreaming of.

"Um, Dean, I'll be going now."
