The carriage was decorated with ornaments hanging from its four corners, swaying gently with its movements. In no time, it arrived before the group and stopped. Xu Yuehuai stared intently at the carriage, eager to see just who this Miss Pu was, given that she had heard her name everywhere she went in Qingcheng since arriving the day before.
After the carriage came to a complete stop, the coachman stepped forward to help the person inside down. A slender hand emerged from inside, followed by a beautiful woman in a pink dress that hugged her body perfectly, showcasing her stunning figure.
When Xu Yuehuai saw the person, she frowned; it was someone she knew.
She was quite curious to see what this person would do between her best friend and her savior. If she chose to side with Yi Zhuo, then she could only say that she hadn't been very good at choosing her when she saved her.
As soon as Ji Yuanchi stepped off the carriage, he spotted Xu Yuehuai in the crowd. She was dazzling, and standing there, one could not focus on anything else.
Ji Yuanchi walked over to Xu Yuehuai's side, then looked at Yi Zhuo on the ground, her voice filled with doubt, "What happened? Why did they start fighting?"
When Yi Zhuo saw her coming and realized that she was speaking to him, he thought she wanted to help him. He immediately got up and walked to Ji Yuanchi's side, saying, "Ji Yuanchi, help me get revenge! This is the person who disrespected me and injured me. I will make sure she has no place in Qingcheng!"
Yi Zhuo had always had this attitude towards Ji Yuanchi. She hadn't thought there was anything wrong with it before, but now she felt uncomfortable listening to Yi Zhuo speak.
"Look at how brazen Yi Zhuo is, daring to speak to Miss Ji like that. There's really no one else like him." In Qingcheng, who would address Miss Pu without respect as Miss Ji? Only Yi Zhuo would be so bold.
Seeing that Ji Yuanchi hadn't taken any action after she spoke, Yi Zhuo assumed that Ji Yuanchi had discovered what she had done before, and began to coax her, "I'll explain to you when I get back a few days ago, okay? Now, please help me kill this bitch! If she doesn't die here today, I won't be able to vent my anger!"
Ji Yuanchi frowned, looking troubled, and said, "This isn't right. This is a human life. How can I let someone die just because of your few words? Wouldn't that make me a villain?"
“Izhuo, although we are friends, I must say something fair: your behavior is wrong.”
Yi Zhuo looked at Ji Yuanchi with great confusion in her eyes. Although she would hesitate before, she would never say such a thing.
"By the way, Yizhuo, why don't you care that I'm only just getting back? I've been wandering around for days. I just got home today and Grandpa scolded me. And because of my trip, Grandpa even kicked you out of the family. You don't mind, do you? If there's a chance in the future, I'll definitely ask Grandpa to bring you back." Ji Yuanchi said seemingly sincerely, but in fact, she herself didn't know how much of what she said was true and how much was false.
Hearing this, Yi Zhuo finally felt relieved.
When she wanted Ji Yuanchi dead, she had someone else do it. She and Wu Chen watched the whole thing from the sidelines, and it didn't even come into her sight.
Xu Yuehuai stood silently by, watching the two go back and forth.
Upon hearing that she still had a chance to enter the Pu family, Yi Zhuo lost interest in entering the academy.
She stepped forward, wanting to take Ji Yuanchi's hand intimately and leave, but Ji Yuanchi noticed her action and naturally avoided her intimate contact. "You go back first. I have something to take care of here today."
"What's the matter?" Izhuo inquired.
In the past, Ji Yuanchi would tell me everything without hesitation, but today Ji Yuanchi hesitated and didn't say anything, only vaguely saying, "I won't tell you about this for now, you'll find out later, and you'll be very surprised."
Since Ji Yuanchi has already put it this way, it would be unreasonable for Yi Zhuo not to leave.
Everyone was a little disappointed that they didn't see the big showdown they had envisioned.
After Izhuo left, everyone went about their own business.
"Are you feeling alright?" Xu Yuehuai recalled that it had only been five or six days since they parted ways, and she looked just like an ordinary person. Was this really the power of a top-tier family?
Ji Yuanchi looked at Xu Yuehuai with starry eyes, "I'm much better now. I sent someone to find out you're here. I hope you're not angry. The reason I didn't attack that person just now wasn't because I thought she did the right thing, it's just... some things are complicated. I'll explain it to you later, okay?"
Xu Yuehuai raised an eyebrow, seemingly indifferent to the matter, and shrugged, "Whatever."
But it's unclear what Xu Yuehuai did that provoked Ji Yuanchi, who thought she was angry. She quickly explained, "Actually, it's not that I can't say it. That Yi Zhuo is the one who nearly killed me back then. Now that I'm back, I don't want her to die so easily. I want her to experience what I went through..."
Before Ji Yuanchi could finish speaking, Xu Yuehuai already knew what was going to happen next, so she interrupted her, "Okay, I understand."
Ji Yuanchi carefully observed Xu Yuehuai's expression, "Are you... angry?"
"I didn't." Xu Yuehuai didn't know where this little girl got the idea that he was angry.
"How about I go to school with you at the academy?" Ji Yuanchi suggested, while keeping an eye on Xu Yuehuai's expression, afraid that she would get angry or refuse.
Xu Yuehuai asked, "You? Aren't you Miss Pu? How come you can come to Qingcheng Academy to study?"
“That’s natural. There are rumors that the three major forces are at odds, but that’s not true. Every year, the three major forces have internal exchange quotas. As the name suggests, this allows disciples from one force to study at another’s. This is resource sharing and also to better consolidate the positions of the three major forces and prevent others from overtaking them.” Ji Yuanchi’s eyes sparkled as she explained.
Seeing that this was not unexpected, Xu Yuehua nodded, "I see. You can go in to study if you want, but if you want to come with me, you don't have to. I can manage on my own without anyone accompanying me."
Ji Yuanchi wasn't intimidated by Xu Yuehuai's cold demeanor at all; on the contrary, she was overjoyed. "You've agreed to let me join the academy! That's great! We can study together from now on!"
Xu Yuehuai: "..."
It seems this girl only listens to half of what she's told.
