Qin Lun slowly opened his eyes. He felt as if a whole century had just passed, yet also just for a moment. The sapling in his hand had completely withered. The Elf Elders who had been watching were long gone. Only Iristin remained, smiling at him.
“You’re awake!” After confirming Qin Lun’s bloodline, Iristin sighed with relief. Her face, covered in paint, showed a playful smile as she made a funny face at the young man. She completely lost the dignified manner she had when they first met; perhaps this was her true self.
“You tricked me! This clearly wasn’t a Treant sapling!” Qin Lun dusted the dirt off his hands, stood up, and looked at the Elven Druid with displeasure. By now, he understood that those old Moon Elf geezers had fooled him.
“Don’t be mad. This was a branch from the World Tree that Elder Adeline kept. It was about to wither anyway, so it was perfect for your test.” Iristin blinked her lively blue eyes, not showing any guilt on her face. “But, didn’t you gain a lot from it too?”
Qin Lun’s expression froze for a second. Looking at the long list of messages in his Death Notice, his mood quickly brightened. No matter what, he really did gain a lot. Besides, the Moon Elves testing him was to be expected; he wouldn’t fully trust an outsider either.
