Reborn as a short-lived loli who can only live for three years

On the day when the gardener was about to leave, Tokieda Meng brought back the latest news from the family.

"We have already obtained the result from the interrogation of that person."

Tokieda Meng went straight to the point and announced the conclusion to them.

That person was naturally the guy who infiltrated the gem exploration team and caused the exploration team to be wiped out twice. If it weren't for him, perhaps what happened later would not have happened.

"The person who ordered him to do so belongs to the Yuye branch. Although the person behind the scenes had died in an 'accident' when we went to look for him, we can still identify the Yuye branch as a suspect anyway."

"Just as we suspected."

Hearing the words "Yuye Branch Family" from Tokizhi Meng's mouth shows that they are getting closer and closer to the final outcome.

"I thought we could find the gardeners in the academy as suspects, but the other party eliminated the witnesses too quickly." Wan Yexi felt a little regretful.

The mastermind behind the suspicious person has been eliminated by someone who is hiding deeper. Although they have several guesses, it is useless to just guess.

"Just locking it down... isn't enough," Ivy said.

"That's right, but this is not enough to take action against them." Shi Zhimeng nodded, but she did not look regretful. It was obvious that she had some good news in mind that she had not yet told them.

Last time, Ivy learned the real name of the suspected mastermind from Ibiru.

Judging from the brief contact at the ball, Tokieda Yume's father was basically on the same front with her. The head of the family wanted to destroy the reformists and make those who coveted the heart of the sage disappear, and the people Ivy wanted to eliminate happened to be among them, so one day during the summer vacation, Ivy told the head of the family these names.

But her words alone are not enough to make the head of the main family destroy another branch family. If the disputes in the family are to escalate to the level of life and death, a more deadly reason is always needed.

"You've already told your father that I'm going to help the enemy steal the Sage's Heart," Ivy confirmed.

"Don't worry, I told him word for word."

"What was his answer?" Although he had already guessed the result, Ivy was still a little nervous.

Thinking back to the conversation at the ball, although the patriarch promised not to interfere with her actions, the situation of the Sage's Heart was rather special, and the Sage's Heart did not seem to be mentioned in the three conditions that Ivi agreed to the patriarch.

"He agreed, and he asked me to tell you something interesting." Tokie Yume spoke mysteriously.

"what's up?"

"The Sage's Heart will have a special characteristic under special circumstances. You should have felt the resonance with the Sage's Heart."

“Maybe.” Ivy wasn’t sure.

The person who confirmed whether the Sage's Heart existed in the alien space was her in the first episode, and only she in the first episode knew whether there was resonance.

But Ivy felt that since she could confirm that the Sage's Heart existed in another dimension, besides seeing it with her own eyes, the most intuitive thing seemed to be resonance.

"So what is the characteristic?" Chu Yu couldn't help but be curious.

"If I were to describe it in one word, it would be 'recognition of the Lord.'"

"Recognize the master?"

Shizhi Meng continued to explain: "When the time traveler is still alive, the Sage's Heart recognizes its master. It can only be activated again by the time traveler, and no one else can use it."

"In other words, we don't need to worry about the enemy resetting time immediately after getting the Sage's Heart?" Wan Yexi thought for a moment and proposed a possibility, "What if they discover this feature and kill Weiwei immediately?"

"Then they are extremely stupid. No one would do that." Tokieda Meng said seriously and confidently.

-

"The reason why resonance exists is because the time traveler has absorbed part of the power of the Sage's Heart. Therefore, the Sage's Heart is now incomplete. If Xiao Wei is killed rashly, the power of time will not return to the Sage's Heart, but will dissipate in the long river of time."

"The heart of a sage will always lose a portion of its power. As long as they are high-ranking members of the reform faction, they will definitely know this truth."

"Then how can we make the power of the sage's heart complete?" Chu Yu asked.

"There are only two ways. Wait for Xiao Wei to be killed by the backlash of time, or let Xiao Wei personally activate the magic of resetting time."

……

"That is to say..." Ivy sorted out his thoughts and concluded, "They don't know that the Sage's Heart is in a 'sealed' state, but they know that killing me will damage the power of the Sage's Heart?"

"That's about it." Shi Zhimeng told her what the head of the family meant. "The head of the family intends for you to comply with the enemy's request and steal the Sage's Heart. This way, we can use the enemy's tactics to identify the Yuye branch as a suspect. Once we are sure that the Sage's Heart is finally going there... the head of the family will have a reasonable reason to make the Yuye branch disappear."

"I understand."

Ivy looked up at the time and stood up: "It's almost time for the appointment. I should go."

“Harvest Gardener?”

They had heard about Ivy's deal with Mr. Klin.

"Yes." Ivy glanced at the people present and said to Wan Yexi, "Sister, come with me."

"Okay." Wan Yexi stood up without hesitation and prepared to walk out the door with her.

Before leaving, Shi Zhimeng called them.

"Wait a moment."

Ivy turned around.

"The Patriarch has another word for you."

"What is it?"

"He... admires you very much." Shizhi Meng hesitated, but finally said this, "He admires you for not starting the third round because of your friend's death."

"...It's nothing." Ivy was very calm. She took Wan Yexi's hand and left the room. "Let's go first."

this is nothing.

after all……

Even if I go back now, nothing can be changed.

……

……

Outside the college, on the city streets.

According to the address in the letter, Wan Yexi took Ivy on a four-wheeled sightseeing vehicle, which bumped along the gravel road.

After a while, they arrived at their final destination, which was a private estate. In the spacious front yard garden, a familiar little white dog was running freely on the grass.

The manor's steward led them into the mansion and into a spacious and enclosed hall.

The high school librarian was among them. He was chatting happily with Mr. Klin and looked very happy.

Seeing Ivy and the others coming, the curator was obviously stunned.

"Master Kutar, you didn't tell me that there were other guests coming..." He whispered, his complexion quickly returned to normal, and he greeted them kindly, "These are the children from the academy. Good afternoon."

"Good afternoon." Wan Ye Xi responded politely.

Teacher Kelin raised his lips and said, "There are reasons for this. It is indeed inconvenient for me to tell you. I think you will understand me."

"Of course, of course." How could the curator dare to say no.

"Well, now that everyone is here, let's get started." Teacher Krillin clapped his hands, and a powerful seal immediately enveloped the entire hall.

The huge white-haired monster walked in slowly, and then the last door was closed.

It bared its teeth ferociously, and its target was the library director.
