Chapter 281 Provocation (Revised)

Noble and elegant, dressed in flowing white robes.

Every smile, every word, and every action exudes the elegance of a young lady from a prominent family.

This is what his dream girl looks like!

Sharp stood there, completely stunned!

This infatuated look made Cuiping frown. However, having learned from her previous experience, she dared not act rashly again. Instead, she approached Zhuo Jingya and secretly told her about it.

Upon hearing this, Zhuo Jingya looked to the side and saw that Sharp was plain-looking and poorly dressed. Moreover, he had seemed reserved and nervous in every move he made at the Treasure Pavilion that day, and he was clearly not a man worth paying attention to.

She had plenty of suitors around her who didn't recognize their place in the world. Normally, she would have had them ruthlessly driven away, but today was different.

Zhuo Jingya recalled the arrogant woman from yesterday.

That person not only made him lose face in the Treasure Pavilion, but also stole the Five-Colored Gilded Fairy Dress.

She held up the flower she had just picked, bringing it to her nose for a gentle sniff. The flower obscured her lowered eyes. "Cuiping, bring him here..."

Sharp only wanted to catch a glimpse of his sweetheart from afar, never expecting to be called over by her.

He nervously walked towards Zhuo Jingya and bowed slightly to her with what he considered proper etiquette, saying, "My original intention was to admire the flowers, but I did not expect to find a person more beautiful than the flowers here, thus disturbing the fairy."

"I am just an ordinary woman, how can I compare to these delicate flowers?"

Zhuo Jingya held wildflowers, her gaze towards him a mixture of shyness and allure. Men are drawn to women like this, and Wan Qijie was completely captivated by her appearance.

"How could this be?!"

Sharp stared at her, mesmerized. "I have never seen a woman as pure and ethereal as a fairy."

"Oh, really?"

Cuiping stepped forward and said in a sarcastic tone, "If that's the case, who was it that brought a woman to swagger in front of us yesterday?"

Still Black Crystal users?

Buy my sister Zhuo's precious clothes?

She's so imposing!

"Emerald Screen".

Zhuo Jingya gently rebuked him, glanced at Sharp, and then quickly distanced herself from him. "As the saying goes, those who walk different paths cannot make plans together. We are not on the same path as you, so please leave."

A captivating glance and that aloof attitude had already made Sharp completely smitten.

"Why do you say that, fairy? Our meeting again shows that we are destined to meet. I was being presumptuous, but I only wish to make friends with you."

He looked intently at Zhuo Jingya, his gaze never leaving her for a moment.

Seeing this, Zhuo Jingya knew she was halfway to success.

A slight smile played on her lips as she used the bouquet to conceal her disdainful gaze. It was nothing more than a simple trick that had ensnared her so easily; this was the least satisfying attempt she could make with her beauty.

A moment later, her expression returned to one of harmlessness and pitifulness. "But you and that girl from yesterday had a close relationship. If I were to have a private relationship with you, it might not be appropriate."

"What's wrong with that?!"

Upon hearing information about Jia Xitong, Sharp frowned slightly. "We are just ordinary colleagues, and there is no romantic relationship between us."

Moreover, this woman is fickle and promiscuous.

She was kind to him at first, but now she's taken a fancy to Hu Changxiu.

He grew angrier the more he thought about it. "Just because he has some connections, he acts without any scruples. He even dared to bully the fairy yesterday!"

Zhuo Jingya paused upon hearing this, "What's her background?"

“I have relatives or friends who are teachers at the college.”

Sharp recalled overhearing others talking outside the door that day and their guesses, as well as Jia Xitong's own introduction, and he truly believed it. "She's just a more senior teacher. With more experience working with her, we can catch up, right?"

"Caught up."

The more he talked, the more disdainful he became.

How could I have been so blind to fall for her?!

Sharp's attitude made Zhuo Jingya believe him to some extent.

"What kind of background is it to have someone in your family teaching at the academy?" Zhuo Jingya chuckled, recalling Jia Xitong's arrogant demeanor from yesterday, then feigned curiosity.

"Since that girl was born into an ordinary family, how could she spend so much money?"

She casually mentioned, "I can buy clothes for 200,000 spirit stones without even thinking about it, and besides, black crystal would cost at least five million at the Treasure Pavilion. Where did all these spirit stones come from?"

Hundreds of thousands, even millions of spirit stones, squandered so easily?!

After Zhuo Jingya finished speaking, Sharp couldn't help but open his mouth wide.

He never expected that the black, broken stone would be so expensive!

Cuiping quickly followed up on Zhuo Jingya's words, "To have so many spirit stones, at least a peak master would have that kind of wealth. Some peak masters can't even easily come up with that much money, so how could someone give her so much money? That woman is quite pretty, she couldn't be..."

She started to say something, then hurriedly covered her mouth. Her hesitant manner left much to the imagination.

He added, "Young master, please don't overthink it. I just feel that the world is dangerous and I'm worried that this person might go astray for short-term gains."

If it's just that I'm greedy for wealth and lack self-control, that's one thing, but if I implicate the young master, wouldn't that just add to the trouble?

With just one sentence, Jia Xitong was burdened with the huge responsibility of clinging to a powerful figure.

Sharp looked as if he had just realized something.

No wonder Xi Tong spends money like water, no wonder he doesn't live in the best classrooms and dormitories, now I understand!

"How could a teacher do such a shameless thing!"

Sharp snorted coldly.
