Suddenly, a shocking shout jolted the Dean out of his thoughts: "Dean, quick, look!"
The Dean frowned fiercely and glared at Shen Ran, who stood beside him, his face filled with surprise: "What's with the yelling and screaming? Can't you speak quietly and gently?"
"No… It's not that…" Shen Ran lifted his bewildered eyes, shock still not faded from their depths, "Dean, the Silver Leaf seems to have grown twice its size."
"…"
The Dean froze, then hastily looked down at the Silver Leaf in his hands. The sight struck him like thunder, and he forcibly suppressed the shock in his heart before sternly instructing, "Shen Ran, you must not speak of what you saw today to anyone. If I find out it has been spread to others' ears, you know what I'm capable of!"
Shen Ran bowed slightly: "Please rest assured, Dean. I haven't seen anything."
"Good, very good!" The Dean nodded, his eyes narrowing slightly as a flicker of light passed through them, "I need to find the Elder Head now."
