Upon hearing Sylvia’s words, Fang Li’s eyebrows raised ever so slightly, and his gaze went directly to Sylvia’s body. He stared at the face renowned as the world’s most charming without saying a word, his eyes carrying a hint of meaning.
Under the direct gaze of those eyes, Sylvia’s expression became somewhat unnatural, and a slightly bitter smile played on her lips.
(He must have seen through it, right?)
After all, Sylvia’s implications were quite clear: she intended to distance herself from Fang Li.
(It’s only my personal matter…)
Indeed.
It was solely Sylvia’s personal matter.
The current situation was quite obvious.
If Sylvia planned to retrieve Ursula, she would inevitably have to become an enemy of Valda and the organization to which Valda belonged.
How dangerous this was needed no explanation.
For the sake of her personal matter, dragging unrelated outsiders into it was not something Sylvia wanted to see. Previously, unaware of the peril Ursula was in, Sylvia had used Fang Li’s power to find her.
But now, peering into the darkness of the situation, she couldn’t involve outsiders anymore.
After all, Fang Li had only a fleeting connection with Sylvia, and it couldn’t even be called friendship.
Even though some ambiguous events had occurred before, they could, at best, be described as accidental and surprising.
Neither Fang Li nor Sylvia had intended anything before that.
Therefore, it could only be deemed a beautiful accident.
So, Sylvia had to distance herself from Fang Li.
Unfortunately, this intention had been seen through.
“Is this acceptable?” Fang Li said as if saying this to someone else, indifferently adding, “I also have a way to reclaim Ursula, but you probably don’t, right?”
Upon hearing this, Sylvia opened her mouth, utterly unsure of what to say.
Indeed.
Sylvia had no way to reclaim Ursula.
This time, if it weren’t for Fang Li’s connections, Sylvia might not have even found Valda, who had taken over Ursula’s body, and still be searching in the vast sea of people.
Not to mention, Sylvia had no method to liberate Ursula from Valda’s control.
Perhaps she could achieve this by destroying the Ogre Lux, which served as Valda’s main body, but how could it be that easy?
The situation couldn’t even be described as difficult. It was a Hell-level difficulty.
At least, even though Valda’s true strength was unknown, Sylvia would have a hard time dealing with that ability to interfere with the mind and energy.
That ability was indefensible and unavoidable, only preventable.
Otherwise, with Sylvia’s strength, which was considered the second strongest in the school battle city, she wouldn’t have fallen into the role of a spectator in the previous confrontation and been manipulated.
Given this, just as Fang Li said, currently, Sylvia had not thought of a way to free Ursula.
“Moreover, since you previously couldn’t find Valda at all, it’s probably the same now.”
Fang Li delivered the final blow.
“Valda can interfere with cognition, making herself fade from everyone’s sight. If she doesn’t want to be found, absolutely no one can locate her. Your years of efforts are proof of that.”
Possessing the ability called Omnipotent, Sylvia couldn’t use recovery-type skills, but she could use detection-type skills.
But even with all those detection type skills, Sylvia had been unable to find Valda, proving that Valda’s concealment ability was outstanding.
Otherwise, with Valda’s uniqueness, she would have been targeted by many.
“So, there’s only one conclusion,” Fang Li gazed at Sylvia, lightly smiling, “Only I can help you.”
A bitter smile finally appeared on Sylvia’s face after hearing that.
“In other words, do you have a way to find Valda?” Sylvia asked, “Didn’t you say that as long as Valda doesn’t want to be found, no one can locate her?”
“So, we can only let her come to us,” Fang Li said confidently, “Originally, I planned to deal with this matter after winning the Festa.”
“Winning the Festa?” Sylvia was initially puzzled, then hesitated before saying, “You mean, if you win this Phoenix Festa, you can find Valda?”
“More accurately, I should be able to find Valda while ensuring my own safety,” Fang Li corrected, “If I don’t win the Phoenix Festa and go looking for her, I’ll probably be obliterated immediately, right?”
Sylvia was suddenly confused.
Could it be that Valda has some connection to the Festa?
Or, does the organization to which Valda belongs have some relationship with Festa?
“Don’t dwell on it,” Fang Li said with a half-smile, “After the Phoenix Festa ends, you’ll know what’s going on.”
Sylvia was suddenly speechless.
Watching Fang Li’s expression that remained unchanged from start to finish, Sylvia struggled, saying, “But, you have no reason to help me.”
“…Someone had said that every time I do a good deed,” Fang Li sighed and shortly afterward laughed.
The next moment, Fang Li said nonchalantly, “Anyway, our relationship is not bad, is it?”
This statement was almost like refuting Sylvia’s previous notion that their connection was merely accidental, not even counting as friendship.
However, this sentence also silenced Sylvia.
Because this was like Fang Li revealing their relationship in front of reporters, an answer Sylvia had given when she was visited by reporters herself.
At that time, Sylvia had spoken without thinking.
Unexpectedly, it had now become a handle for Fang Li.
“Moreover, I’ve already taken my reward.” Fang Li, with a carefree smile, said, “So, at least let me see this through to the end.”
Watching Fang Li’s carefree smile, at this moment, Sylvia’s heart suddenly thumped.
Shortly afterward, the scene where Fang Li, to protect her had wielded his blade to sever Valda’s power, not retreating even a step under Laminamors’ ambush, and counterattacked covered in blood, flashed in Sylvia’s mind.
This made Sylvia’s gaze extremely unnatural as she turned away, not daring to look at Fang Li’s smiling face.
This feeling, even when Fang Li forcibly kissed her before, didn’t exist.
After all, at that time, Sylvia was very clear that it was only because Fang Li couldn’t control himself.
Now, the feeling was completely different.
Sensing her own change in feelings, Sylvia couldn’t help but feel troubled.
“This is troublesome…”
