Chapter 34: Returning from Lost Path

The source of Shen Yixue's sense of superiority is Li Jingming who is beside her.

Even if Zhong Nianyao has a good family background and is beautiful, what's the use! Li Jingming doesn't look down on her, but rather has a good impression of her.

Just based on this point, she felt that she was much stronger than Zhong Nian Yao.

Besides, what does Zhong Nianyao have? If she didn't rely on her family, she wouldn't even be able to enter the gate of Tenglong College.

But she was different. She did not rely on any family background, but relied on her own strength to enter the academy.

Most importantly, she attracted Li Jingming's attention, which made her always feel victorious in front of Zhong Nianyao.

However, looking at Zhong Nianyao now, Shen Yixue always had a vague sense of unease in her heart, as if something was beyond her control.

Ever since Zhong Nianyao woke up from jumping into the river, she had never bothered Li Jingming again. In fact, she even appeared in front of Li Jingming less and less frequently.

Faced with such a situation, she couldn't be happy at all. Her biggest advantage over Zhong Nianyao was Li Jingming's favor. If she lost this sense of superiority, what advantage would she still have over Zhong Nianyao?

In fact, in the past, in order to get information about Li Jingming, Zhong Nianyao had tried to please her again and again. But now, she didn't even say hello when she saw her.

Most importantly—

Shen Yixue turned her head and saw Li Jingming beside her with a look of loss, which made her feel panic in her heart.

She couldn't help but reach out and grab Li Jingming's arm, "Jingming!"

In an instant, Li Jingming immediately woke up from his thoughts, turned his head, looked at Shen Yixue, and a gentle smile appeared on his face, "What's wrong?"

Shen Yixue tried hard to suppress the inexplicable panic in her heart and forced a smile on her face, "Nothing, I just saw that you were a little distracted, so I wanted to call you. By the way, what were you thinking about just now?"

"Nothing." Li Jingming shook his head. "I was just thinking, should I remind Xuan Lang? That Zhong Nianyao is not suitable for him."

After hearing Li Jingming's words, the smile on Shen Yixue's face became a little forced, "Jingming, this is not good! If Xuanlang really likes Nianyao, it's a good thing, isn't it? If the two of them are together, Zhong Nianyao will never bother you again in the future."

"Yixue, how could you think that?" Li Jingming frowned, a hint of blame in his tone, "We are friends with Xuan Lang, how can we watch him jump into the fire pit?"

"Really?" Shen Yixue shook her head, "Jingming, Xuanlang is really attentive right now, why bother to make him unhappy? I'm afraid that by then, you won't even be able to be friends."

Li Jingming also knew that Shen Yixue was doing this for his own good, so he didn't say anything else. However, he still secretly decided in his heart that he must find an opportunity to make Zhao Xuanlang return to the right path.

Zhong Nianyao didn't know that these two people were criticizing her behind her back. After leaving the college, she called Mr. Zhong and Mrs. Zhong and told them that she was going to dinner with friends tonight and would be back later.

Afterwards, she came to Tongtian Bridge again.

She could sense that her soul was still unstable. Although she had read fortunes for others several times before, the only time she had helped Zhao Xuanlang was when she gained more merit. As for the others, it was still too little.

Just as he sat down, the old man Yang next to him came over and said, "Master, you haven't been here these few days. Many people have come to see you!"

Old Man Yang no longer treated Zhong Nianyao with the same casualness he had before; instead, he was showing respect. He could tell that, despite her young age, this young woman was far more accomplished than even these old men. Especially after the few divinations she had performed a few days ago, they had truly demonstrated her abilities.

He is now more confident that he can be reunited with his son.

At the same time, he also had a vague sense of pride in his heart, that was because Master Zhong's first divination was made for him.

Zhong Nianyao didn't feel uncomfortable at all when facing Old Man Yang's respectful attitude. "I've been busy these past few days, so I didn't come."

When she was in the Kingdom of Li, she was a high-ranking imperial teacher, and even the Emperor of Li treated her with great respect. Therefore, when faced with such an attitude, she still adapted well.

Old Man Yang wanted to say something, but was interrupted by a surprised voice.

"Master, you are finally here!"

As an excited voice sounded, Aunt Wu, who had once had Zhong Nianyao's fortune told, came up at this time, looking very happy.

Zhong Nianyao's expression didn't change at all. She looked up at Aunt Wu and said, "You came here today to pay the bill, right?"
