Beneath a calm gaze lies a turbulent sea of emotions.
Her lips were tightly pursed. If Granny Lin were here, she would definitely be able to see Lin Jingge's dislike for the woman in front of her.
Qingyu finally saw Lin Jingge's wife clearly.
That face was one of the most stunningly beautiful she had ever seen.
In an instant, he remembered things related to Lin Jingge.
She abruptly took a step back.
To others, Lin Jingge's glance might have seemed like a completely ordinary look, but Qingyu could sense a murderous aura emanating from her!
"you……"
"Qingyu?" Lu Huaizhou didn't expect Qingyu to react so strongly. He turned around and glanced at her: "Why do you look like that? You should be happy that Miss Lin is alive."
After saying that, she turned to look at Lin Jingge and said, "You have no idea how worried Qingyu was when she found you were missing that day when we returned to Nancheng. She searched for you for most of the day."
"Is that so?" Lin Jingge chuckled softly, giving Qingyu a meaningful look.
Qingyu's eyes darted around, somewhat flustered.
Hearing Lin Jingge say that, he pretended to be calm and replied, "Yes, yes, we only realized you were missing when we landed!"
After she finished speaking, she looked directly at Lin Jingge, her gaze carrying a hint of threat.
Lin Jingge chuckled, but ultimately said nothing.
It wasn't that she was actually threatened by the other party, but at the moment, she was too lazy to dwell on the past. They were all in the same academy, and there would be plenty of opportunities in the future.
Hearing Lin Jingge's laughter, Qingyu felt uneasy, fearing that Lin Jingge would ruin her image in front of Lu Huaizhou, but she still pretended to be calm on the surface.
Seeing that Lin Jingge was sensible and didn't say much, she assumed Lin Jingge was scared. In an instant, she no longer felt flustered and her face returned to its initial arrogant demeanor.
Lu Huaizhou was closest to Qingyu during the back-and-forth between the two women, yet he seemed completely unaware of it.
Tang Cheng couldn't discern much. The smile on her face vanished instantly, replaced by a sour expression, as she moved her stool closer to Lin Jingge.
Previously, in order not to disturb Lin Jingge, she had specially moved a stool and sat on the edge to talk to the man selling grapes.
"Huh...it's actually the Wang family's blood orange." Lu Huaizhou looked at the orange with rings of blood at the end and murmured in surprise, then looked up at Lin Jingge.
He stared at it for a long time before suddenly remembering where the orange came from. At this moment, Lu Huaizhou had begun to doubt Lin Jingge's identity.
I've never heard of any branch of the Wang family from the Cloud Peak Continent in the Azure Orchid Continent.
"You have a good eye!" The man buying the grapes stood up abruptly, as if he had seen a long-lost friend. "That's right, these are my Wang family's blood oranges."
Lu Huaizhou glanced at him but didn't reply. Instead, he looked at Lin Jingge and asked, "Miss, can you sell me all these spiritual fruits?"
The Wang family's blood oranges are never sold to outsiders; they are mostly consumed internally and are extremely rare outside the market.
It also has the wonderful effect of purifying impurities in the body. Although the effect is small, it is better than nothing.
Upon hearing Lu Huaizhou's words, the eldest son of the Wang family, who had previously admired his discerning eye, immediately became displeased.
I admire your good taste, yet you want to steal my beloved?!
"No way!" he said. "These seeds were given to her by me, and I'm buying these fruits too! Get out of here, there's none for you. Today, I'm buying them all!"
After saying that, he tossed a storage ring from his pocket into Tang Cheng's arms: "These are spirit stones, see if that's enough."
Tang Cheng glanced at Young Master Wang (who was wronged), and then excitedly probed the ring with her divine sense.
Then he looked pleasantly surprised, revealing his money-grubbing nature.
"That's enough, that's more than enough!" Tang Cheng put the ring away, then took the blood orange from Lin Jin's hand and tossed it to Young Master Wang.
The eldest son of the Wang family caught the orange steadily, first smelled it under his nose, and then exclaimed in surprise.
Then, he looked at Lu Huaizhou, his eyes full of provocation and smugness.
It perfectly portrays the immature and spoiled nature of a spoiled brat.
Lu Huaizhou almost laughed out of anger, but he had no interest in arguing with a little brat. Instead, he looked at Lin Jingge, who was picking out seeds.
"There are still quite a few seeds here. Could you help me grow a blood orange?"
"No, these seeds are all mine, and I want them all that sprouts!" The eldest son of the Wang family, who had already put away the blood oranges, said, then gave Tang Cheng a look: "How many spirit stones do you want? You can take them from that ring yourself. I can add more if you don't have enough."
"Okay, okay." Tang Cheng nodded hurriedly.
Seeing that Lin Jingge didn't react, he nudged her shoulder with his own.
"Huh?" Lin Jingge looked at Tang Cheng, who was winking at her, with a puzzled expression.
Then, as if he understood something, he quickly nodded and said, "You can decide."
“Miss Lin…” Lu Huaizhou quickly spoke up.
"Sorry, she's in charge here." Lin Jingge smiled, then lowered her head and carefully selected the seeds.
Lu Huaizhou, who had always been fawned over by his junior brothers and sisters, had never been so neglected before.
His expression was rather unpleasant.
But at this moment, the eldest son of the Wang family showed no tact whatsoever. Instead, he winked at him and looked smug and asking for a beating.
"Senior brother, let it go. She's not the only one in our academy who can cultivate spirit fruits." Seeing this scene, Qingyu barely managed to suppress her joy.
She was worried that Lu Huaizhou and Lin Jingge would have too much contact, but now it seems that it's good that they didn't become enemies.
Qingyu stepped forward, wrapped her arms around Lu Huaizhou's arm, and tried to pull him away.
Lu Huaizhou was somewhat unwilling and glanced at Lin Jingge a few more times.
Seeing that the other party did not look up again, he was eventually pulled away by Qingyu with a cold face.
As she left, Qingyu turned back and gave Lin Jingge a smug look.
She thought to herself that only new students like Lin Jingge, who didn't know Lu Huaizhou's identity, would treat him like this.
They will never know that just now, they lost an opportunity to curry favor with the next dean of the South Campus.
Thinking of this, Qingyu's smug smile widened even more.
Tang Cheng saw him turn around right in the act.
She was about to roll up her sleeves and rush in for a fight, but because the other person had already gone far away, she didn't actually rush in.
"What the hell!" Tang Cheng spat out violently.
She couldn't stand that kind of look.
At first, she only suspected that this woman and Lin Jingge didn't get along, but now she was almost certain.
"I don't know what he's so smug about!" Tang Cheng said angrily.
She complained for a while, which made Lin Jingge look up at Tang Cheng several times.
