Chapter 1263

The older man chuckled since he knew his students well. "You've never cared about claims like these. Why did you mention that little brat all of a sudden? Did he do anything to upset you?"

He looked intrigued, as if he was eager to hear gossip.

"Not really," Lily answered blandly, then suddenly widened her eyes. "He went to the research institute."
