Xi Yue stood there blankly for a long ti before coming back to her senses.
Her hand slid over the spot on her chest where the pagoda fruit that Nangong Yu had given her originally hung. She spoke softly to the empty room, “Are you him, Yu? What kind of bond do you two share? Please… can you tell ?”
After mumbling to herself for a while, she pulled herself together, turned around, and walked out of the room.
What I did just now was so out of the blue… I hope Dr. Wen hasn’t gotten suspicious.
Thank God it was Wen Jiaquan who showed up. If it had been Weizhi or soone more observant, she’d have been exposed for sure.
It’s all that shaless bastard’s fault!
…
When Ke Yanhuai stepped out of the Enforcent Hall, he looked sharp in a fresh set of clothes. But beneath that polished appearance, his whole body ached so badly he could barely move without wanting to groan in pain.
What drove him even more insane was how the people from the Enforcent Hall had literally kicked him out. Several onlookers had witnessed his sorry state as he was thrown out, making it clear to everyone that he’d just been punished.
With that, his reputation in the inner sect was shot.
He had hoped to get a higher rank in this year’s assessnt, but now he’d be lucky just to not end up at the bottom.
Ke Yanhuai was so furious that he was bloodthirsty, but he didn’t dare to confront Song Zhen. Instead, he turned all his rage toward ng Zisu.
That night, Ke Yanhuai and ng Baiya appeared in i Shuhai’s room in Heavenly dical Valley’s outer sect.
i Shuhai’s eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the contents of the ornate storage pouch Ke Yanhuai and ng Baiya had placed in front of him.
Everything inside was high-quality—no doubt worth a fortune.
But he kept a straight face and said calmly, “What’s the aning behind this, Mr. Ke?”
Ke Yanhuai’s expression darkened as he said coldly, “I want you to kick ng Zisu out of the Heavenly dical Valley.”
“Isn’t ng Zisu from Water dicine Class Three?” i Shuhai frowned. “Mr. Ke, you should know that the students from Class Three are in a rather special position—they’re backed by the Jun, Yun, and Bai families. Kicking soone like her out without cause would bring consequences none of us can afford.”
Ke Yanhuai’s brows furrowed. He was already boiling with anger, and hearing i Shuhai act all high and mighty as if he was about to say no made him snap—he was ready to blow up on the spot.
But ng Baiya quickly grabbed his arm and gave a soft, sweet smile. “Why don’t you hear Yanhuai out first, Dr. i? Maybe once you know why he wants to remove my sister from Heavenly dical Valley, you’ll have an easier ti deciding whether or not to help.”
“Tell about it.”
A cold glint flashed in ng Baiya’s eyes as she let out a soft sigh. “To be honest, my sister was originally engaged to Yanhuai. But for so reason, she started seducing another man. In the end, she even lost her chastity. Both the ng and Ke families caught her in the act.”
“Yanhuai truly cared about my sister,” she said softly. “But after what she did—sothing so disgraceful—how could the prestigious Ke Family still marry her? So, the engagent was called off, and she ended up enrolling at Heavenly dical Valley.”
i Shuhai lifted his eyes and gave a surprised glance at the grim-faced Ke Yanhuai, then nodded. “A woman that shaless and immoral—of course, soone like Mr. Ke can’t be expected to accept her.”
ng Baiya grinned, but her face took on a sorrowful expression. “But Zisu is still my sister, and she was once Yanhuai’s fiancée. Both of us hoped she would feel ashad and change her ways. But instead, ever since she started studying at Heavenly dical Valley, she’s only gotten worse—still going around trying to seduce other n without a hint of remorse.”
