Chapter 539: Jealousy
After the footsteps of her roommates gradually faded away in the stairwell, Lois opened her backpack and took out an instrument resembling an eyeball.
She aimed the instrument at Sonya’s seat and activated it. The eyeball emitted a light blue beam, and everything covered by the blue light glowed with varying shades of purple. The more intense the purple, the more frequently the item had been touched, such as the handle of Sonya’s Wooden Sword, which was almost dyed purple.
Yes.
Even Adelle was pressured by her family, so how could Lois, the daughter of a merchant, remain unaffected? On the surface, everyone might try to please Sonya, the red meteor, but secretly, how could they not spy on her?
Sonya had become a sorcerer too recently, which made her both coveted and vulnerable-she hadn’t had time to establish her social circle yet. Typically, every sanctuary sorcerer would either have sponsors eager to win favor or like-minded, talented sorcerers around them, leaving no gaps for others to exploit.
But Sonya was different. She advanced too quickly, while the people around her remained as weak as before.
So weak that they couldn’t even protect themselves.
Lois rummaged through Sonya’s drawers and slightly turned her head to see her reflection in the makeup mirror.
In the mirror, she saw her own gloomy face, her thin lips pressed tight, her hair in disarray, and only her eyes burning with a light from an unknown source.
