At that moment, Brenda realized what genuine decency looked like.
Lana might not like her, but she never displayed hatred.
There had only ever been a certain calmness in her eyes, as if she understood that Brenda's past actions were influenced by something beyond her own awareness.
The Lana she once thought scheming and vicious suddenly seemed… understandable.
As she watched Lana's retreating figure, Brenda murmured softly, "She really is beautiful."
Back at the mansion, Lana immediately began cultivating again.
Meanwhile, Brenda passed by one of the classrooms and spotted Cassandra inside. Cassandra appeared to be muttering to herself while staring into empty space.
A chill ran down Brenda's spine.
For a moment, she wondered if Cassandra had been possessed.
With hesitant steps, she pushed the door open slightly and entered.
Cassandra was so absorbed in her murmuring that she did not notice Brenda at all.
Brenda heard fragments.
