How come I am still being controlled by them even though I have changed my ways?

Looking up, Jill saw Dean Roy standing by the window, looking at her with a serious expression. She was being stared at, so how could she run away?

So, Jill's answer couldn't be simpler.

"A promise is a promise. I will try my best to play my role well."

By the way, out of curiosity, Jill really wanted to meet this "Elder Melm".

After all, during his "yellow-haired period", whenever he was taught a lesson by Kallen, Kallen would "bring out" this elder to warn and threaten him.

If you harass Dean Roy again, I will tell our Elder Melm about this... Elder Melm doesn't care who you are, Jill.

It's almost at the level of "hearing of his name before meeting him".

So, Jill wanted to see the true face of this Melm elder.

Afterwards, we came to Dean Luo Yi’s residence.

As they spiraled up the stairs, Kallen didn't say anything to stop them. At the end of the hallway, Seraphim was already waiting at the door. Since she couldn't speak loudly in such a situation, she could only greet him with a smile and a wink.

This was considered the "secret code for contact": Seraphim had no intention of delaying, and as soon as Elder Melm appeared, he planned to let him play the "yellow-haired role".

The specific "script" is also very simple: Elder Melm came to inquire about the performance of Seraphim and Dean Roy in the previous academy festival, and in order to cooperate with his acting, the two of them would invariably mention the person "the son of Lord Blacks".

He was hinting in a roundabout way, "It's all because of Jill that I behaved badly!"

[Why? I...I can't say~]

This part is where Seraphim and Dean Roy get to play freely, and he... will appear at this "critical moment" to let Elder Melm see what the power of one of the four mythical gods in the small book is.

As in, next.

"Elder Melm, that... Gil we just mentioned... he's here."

Seraphim, who was giving him all kinds of eye hints in the previous second, hoping that he would not "drag him down", had changed into an "hesitant" look the next moment, turned around tremblingly and walked into the house, speaking to someone in the house.

Kallen, who was beside Jill, looked "conflicted", as if she wanted to remind Jill something again, but finally chose to remain silent and stayed outside the house - it seemed that among the high elves, Miss Kallen's "status" was not enough to support her to appear casually in such an occasion.

Jill couldn't care less.

Take a deep breath and put on a flirtatious attitude.

Shaking off the worry in his mind, "Will I be killed instantly by Elder Melm?", he rushed in through the door.

"Seraphim, who are you so anxious to tell? Ah..."

His gaze naturally fell on the extra figure in the room.

"Is this the Elder Melm you were talking about?"

I saw: sitting upright at the table in the room was an elf loli who looked to be about the same "size" as Dean Luo Yi - however, it was only an appearance.

Even without prior intelligence, Jill would never have thought of it as a "sweet and delicious mango-flavored child."

Long golden hair and thin coat.

His lifeless eyes revealed a hint of wisdom.

The elf named Melm was as dignified and calm as a doll. Even though he barged in so rudely, he didn't react at all.

But, it wasn't that he was dumb - because Jill immediately felt that she was being "watched".

The information from Seraphim and Dean Roy said that Elder Melm's eyes had no sight, but he could use the power of elemental magic to sense everything around him.

In other words - it was impossible to "lie simply by thinking that Elder Melm couldn't see."

He can only rely on his "hard power as a former yellow-haired man" to deceive Elder Melm - what should be done to Dean Roy and Seraphim cannot be stopped just because "Elder Melm can't see it."

Not one can be missing.

So, Jill immediately reached out and put her arm around Seraphie's shoulders! And should we say, as expected of Seraphie? The elven saint understood Jill's thoughts almost instantly, and with a nervous and anxious expression, she hastily pushed his arm away.

“Don’t… Elder Melm can see…”

"what?"

Jill pretended not to understand until Melm in front of him spoke softly. Then he let go reluctantly after a gasp.

As if he didn't know that Elder Melm could see, he began to look at Elder Melm's body with an unrestrained gaze.

To be honest: this elf elder is really cute - her soft little face still looks like a "little loli", but the temperament that emerges from it is far beyond that of her age.

The tender body is dressed in thin white clothes and barefoot, but it does not give people a sloppy and dirty feeling.

Fragile, yet wise, as if steeped in age, she is the oldest and most authoritative leader among the High Elves. Like a mother cat raising a tiger cub, she may appear the easiest to bully, but the hundreds of pounds of "kittens" around her are no pushovers.

I want to bully someone, but I don’t dare. This is probably the feeling of my job.

"Are you Jill?"

Elder Melm asked calmly, as if he hadn't noticed his previous aggressive harassment of Seraphim.

"Loi and Seraphim have already told me about you."

This was not the time for Gil to be polite, so he immediately added his classic yellow-haired remarks arrogantly: "Yes, I am the son of the Glamorgan family who funded Dean Roy to run this academy."

"Why, are you, Elder, here to cause me trouble? Humph...don't you see my family's status in the capital?"

As he said this, he turned to Dean Luo Yi with a bad look on his face.

Knowing that Elder Melm could see everything, he couldn't neglect his expression. He sneered viciously, "Dean Luo Yi, have you said something unnecessary again?"

"Didn't you make an agreement with me? If you want the academy to continue operating, just behave yourself?"

With his firepower fully unleashed, Jill felt as if he was about to return to his former "victorious posture" as the yellow-haired young master.

157. You are the challenger!

These days' "rehearsals" are not just for fun, or maybe Dean Luo Yi is as good as Seraphim in "acting".

Therefore, even as Jill had just spoken these "yellow-haired remarks" in front of Elder Melm, Dean Roy had already given the appropriate response.

"I...I didn't."

She bit her lips, looking innocent and eager to explain herself, as if she was afraid that if she spoke too late, this "young-haired young master" would really take revenge on her!

Every action and every expression was done with care. After all, Dean Roy must know better than him what Elder Melm could see and hear.

"Elder Melm came here suddenly, and I... of course I didn't say anything."

After a pause, with a look that looked like he was "threatened", he explained to Jill in a wronged tone - Jill was obviously just a foreign student, and Roy was the dean here, so there was no need for her to be so humble.

At this point, Gil thought: At least halfway to success, right? Could Elder Melm still not see through the tricks of this "royal capital villain"?

As long as Elder Melm targets him, he will naturally no longer care about the problems between Dean Roy and Seraphim - the plan works.

And the next moment, Jill did get the reaction that Elder Melm deserved.

The lifeless eyes could not focus on him, but Jill truly felt that he was being "watched".

"Gil, what have you done to our High Elves?"

The problems that were coming were inevitable, and Jill had already prepared herself mentally: she hoped that Elder Melm would really be "not someone who gets angry easily" as Miss Karen had said before.

Then he raised his head and continued to maintain his arrogant and domineering attitude.

"I'm the one who funded Dean Roy's academy. And the land where Miss Saint's palace is located in the capital was originally my family's property~"

"After all the efforts, I just asked you two to be a little 'friendly' to me. Is that too much, Elder Melm?"

Such a blunt and unrepentant statement indeed made Elder Melm's voice rise a little.

"I can understand this as: Are you threatening them?"

And getting into this rhythm is something Gil is very familiar with.

"Threats or something~"

He spread his hands, acting like a shameless rogue, and said, "It's obvious that both of you volunteered~"

As he spoke, he deliberately raised his chin towards Seraphim, "Am I right, Seraphim?"

"..."

At this moment, Seraphim and Dean Roy were like veteran actors on camera, each one more capable than the other - Dean Roy just seemed a little "reluctant", but now Seraphim was like a little girl who was "threatened and wanted to ask Elder Melm for help".

What followed was nothing more than Elder Melm confronting him, and then he arrogantly left, relying on his status.

What kind of revenge he would suffer from Elder Melm afterwards was a matter for the future. Right now, Jill just felt overwhelmed with pressure and wanted to get off work early.

"Seraphim, Roy, are you willing to be so servile to this human who doesn't deserve any respect?"

Elder Melm's cold voice seemed to be able to see through everyone's thoughts, but how could anyone retreat at this moment?

However, the next sentence...

But it immediately changed the atmosphere, which should have been tense and dangerous.

"Then I can understand this as: Do you two like him?"

What?

Not to mention the reactions of Seraphim and Dean Roy, even Gil himself was a little suspicious for a moment whether he had heard it wrong!

What the hell is Elder Melm up to? Didn't we just see his extremely arrogant image with our own eyes?

Dean Roy and Seraphim clearly didn't behave like they were threatened by him and didn't dare to speak out?

How on earth did he imagine that these two elves liked him? If that were true, he couldn't stand it!

This "unexpected incident" was clearly not part of the three people's "script rehearsal"! Dean Roy and Seraphim, who must have encountered this situation for the first time, were momentarily confused and hesitant, not knowing what to say.

Only Jill, who had "been through many battles and seen a lot", hurried to continue her "conclusion" before this strange scene aroused Elder Melm's suspicion!

He pretended to be surprised and looked at the two women with a frivolous smile.

"What? Really? You two have good taste, don't you?"

The two elves finally understood the situation, and Seraphim immediately responded with a classic speech.

"Who, who would like you!?"

It sounded full of disgust, and even had a bit of the arrogance unique to elves, but Jill had only one thought in his mind at this moment: Classmate Seraphim, you know how to cope with emergencies!

Dean Luo Yi, you should also take a good look. Look, this is the skill of a veteran black-bellied player!

There was a hint of fear in his rebuttal. How could Elder Melm have any more wrong ideas? He only needed to add a few more casual remarks from the yellow-haired man, and everything would be fine!

If there was anything surprising, it was probably the response made by Elder Melm after he quietly "read" the attitudes of Seraphim and Dean Roy.

"Seraphim, Roy, you two should step aside first."

It gave Jill a sense of calmness, as if she had been prepared.

However, in such a situation, he had no time to think about the weirdness of it.

"I want to talk to this Jill alone."

Moreover, "Elder Melm came to see him alone", which was also within the expectations of the three people - after harassing two women, Elder Melm would definitely come to him for "a cup of tea", right?

So, the two women left the room without hesitation.

Only Jill and Elder Melm were left alone. This was a good thing—Jill could now do whatever he wanted.

But there is also a danger: if Elder Melm "gets angry and takes action", there will be no one to save him.

The next moment, Elder Melm's voice interrupted Jill's wild thoughts.

"Jill, do you know what status the high elves you harassed have in my tribe?"

The familiar opening line made Jill hesitate.

Use the prepared speech now.

"You know? She's just an elf saint~"

As he spoke, he dragged his words and looked at the elf loli sitting in front of him, "I think you, Elder Melm, still have your charm~"

"You don't think a few random threats will work, do you? This is the capital of Yalilo, and I'm the prince's son. If you want to stay here peacefully, you'd better be sensible."

He shifted his target to Elder Melm, and acted like a hungry person who could eat anything.

Jill thought: Let’s see if Elder Melm will take the bait this time?
