Zhu Xiaojuan looked around and confirmed that no one was approaching them before she uttered a name: "He Jingjing."
He Jingjing?
Zhou Yuanyuan was a little surprised.
Two years ago, after Zhou Yuanyuan successfully advanced to the spiritual realm in the secret realm, her spiritual consciousness passed over the secret realm, and she seemed to see He Jingjing in the secret realm.
By the way, He Jingjing lives in a small courtyard halfway up the Xiaoyao Peak of the Yushan Sect. That’s right.
He Jingjing's cultivation level was very low, only at the first level of Qi training. Furthermore, He Jingjing looked very old. If it weren't for the fact that cultivators didn't need to look at faces to recognize people, Zhou Yuanyuan really wouldn't have recognized that the middle-aged woman in her thirties was He Jingjing.
The gate to the secret realm has a specific nature: only cultivators who have reached the fourth level of Qi training or above can freely enter and exit the secret realm. With He Jingjing's Qi training level of the first level, it's impossible for her to leave the secret realm through the gate. Unless He Jingjing had some kind of adventure in the past two years that significantly increased her cultivation?
In two years, for He Jingjing, a cultivator with five spiritual roots, to advance to the second level of Qi training was already a top-line achievement. The fourth level? That seemed unlikely, right?
No, Zhu Xiaojuan doesn’t have the ability to recognize people like me. How did she recognize He Jingjing?
"Sister Xiaojuan, can you still recognize He Jingjing?" Zhou Yuanyuan asked curiously. What Zhou Yuanyuan really wanted to ask was: How could Zhu Xiaojuan recognize He Jingjing at first sight when she had transformed into a woman in her thirties? Even Zhou Yuanyuan herself took an extra half a second to confirm He Jingjing's identity that day.
"I have seen He Jingjing many times since I was a child. It was only in the past few years, since He Jingjing followed the "Fairy Lady" to learn magic, that I haven't seen her jumping around in Kyoto. How could I not recognize her?" Zhu Xiaojuan looked at Zhou Yuanyuan in surprise.
When Ho Shumin was in power, Ho Jingjing often bullied others. Zhu Xiaojuan was timid and nicknamed "dumb-headed", making her Ho Jingjing's favorite target.
To say that Zhu Xiaojuan and He Jingjing are "enemies" is not far off the mark. Enemies often see eye to eye, and God knows Zhu Xiaojuan really wants to rush up to He Jingjing and give her a few sarcastic remarks today.
Zhu Xiaojuan, who has a "dull brain", was able to be admitted to the Fashion Design College based on her own strength, while He Jingjing, who has been smart since childhood, had to rely on "backdoors" to get into the college?
It was only when she saw the person next to He Jingjing that Zhu Xiaojuan felt something was wrong, so she held back.
"No, I mean how does He Jingjing look? Has she aged a lot?" Zhou Yuanyuan knew that Zhu Xiaojuan might have misunderstood, but she didn't know how to explain to Zhu Xiaojuan that He Jingjing was getting older, so she could only say this vaguely.
"He Jingjing is still as annoying as before. Getting older? Has she grown older? She should be the same age as me this year." Zhu Xiaojuan thought Zhou Yuanyuan had made a slip of the tongue and did not dwell on the word "getting older".
Zhou Yuanyuan's heart sank.
What adventures has He Jingjing, who suddenly became young and beautiful again, had in the past two years?
After figuring out He Jingjing's purpose, perhaps she could glean some clues? With this thought in mind, Zhou Yuanyuan asked, "Sister Xiaojuan, do you know what He Jingjing is doing at your school?"
"I heard from a senior sister in the student union that He Jingjing came to study in our school. It seems that she used her connections to get the qualification of an auditor." When Zhu Xiaojuan talked about this, she still found it a little unbelievable.
Those unfamiliar with the Kyoto Fashion Design College might mistake it for a junior college, but in reality, its admission score is several points higher than the top-tier colleges. Several graduates of the Fashion Design College have established themselves as renowned figures in the Chinese fashion industry, especially specially appointed visiting professor Tao Qing, who has a considerable international reputation.
Such a school usually has very strict admissions requirements. For a student like He Jingjing to be able to obtain an "audit pass" to attend school more than a month after the start of the semester is truly impressive.
It's easy to imagine that the person who did this for He Jingjing must be quite powerful. In Kyoto, only the heads of a few large families have such power.
As Zhu Xiaojuan was speaking, Zhou Yuanyuan was wondering in her heart, who was the person who helped He Jingjing?
"Yuanyuan, I saw your cousin and He Jingjing together today. They seemed to have a very close relationship, so I rushed here..." Before Zhu Xiaojuan finished speaking, Zhou Yuanyuan's face changed.
"Cousin An?" Zhou Yuanyuan couldn't help but ask.
It seems that the only person who Zhu Xiaojuan could call Zhou Yuanyuan's cousin was Zhou Xi, who used the alias Zhou An.
But why is Zhou Xi with He Jingjing? Doesn't he always hate He Jingjing?
"Yes, it was Zhou An. I saw it clearly, that's right." Zhu Xiaojuan nodded affirmatively.
After Zhou Xi had been tempered in the medicinal pool of Taoist Baopu, he had become a handsome man. In the entire city of Kyoto, there were few who could surpass Zhou Xi in appearance.
Because of this, Zhou Xi caused a stir when he came to Zhu Xiaojuan's school today. Zhu Xiaojuan was dragged by her roommate to see the handsome man, otherwise, Zhu Xiaojuan would not have discovered that Zhou Xi was actually in contact with He Jingjing.
"So, He Jingjing's going to your school might be related to my cousin Xi...An." Zhou Yuanyuan thought for a moment and figured out the key.
Before Zhou Yuanyuan and the others returned to General Zhou's side, Zhou Xi took care of everything for General Zhou. With Zhou Xi's abilities, getting He Jingjing an "auditor's pass" for the Fashion Design Institute wasn't a difficult task.
"Oh, why didn't I think of it!" After being reminded by Zhou Yuanyuan, Zhu Xiaojuan stretched out her fist and hit herself on the head a few times in annoyance.
Ren Zhongyuan was originally standing aside quietly waiting for Zhu Xiaojuan, but when he saw Zhu Xiaojuan suddenly hit herself, he couldn't help but get anxious.
"Xiaojuan, are you okay?" Ren Zhongyuan straightened his neck and called out.
If Zhou Yuanyuan hadn't been standing by, Ren Zhongyuan would have almost rushed over.
"It's okay, it's okay." After Zhu Xiaojuan waved at Ren Zhongyuan, she realized that her previous action could easily cause misunderstanding.
Didn’t you see that there were several pairs of eyes nearby, all looking at her as if she was crazy?
"Okay, go and hang out with your brother Xiaoyuan! I can't bear to see you anymore." Seeing this, Zhou Yuanyuan quickly drove Zhu Xiaojuan away.
Anyway, as for the fact that Zhou Xi and He Jingjing seemed to be close, no matter how strange it was, she could just go home and ask Grandpa Xi! It was better than racking her brains and making wild guesses.
But things were not as simple as Zhou Yuanyuan thought.
When Zhou Yuanyuan returned home, she found the house quiet.
