ng Zisu bit her lower lip and whispered, “I’m sorry, Instructor Xi Yue. Also, thank you for saving Lei.”
Xi Yue accepted her thanks and said while walking, “If you really want to thank , help gather so spirit herbs—or seeds work too. They’ll co in handy for future classes. Just treat it as paying off my consultation fee.”
ng Zisu froze for a mont, then quickly broke into a relieved smile. “Alright, instructor. Don’t worry. As long as I can find it, I’ll definitely bring it to you.”
Xi Yue had heard all the things ng Baiya said about her, yet she didn’t treat her like the plague or look at her with pity—she just saw her as any other student.
This made ng Zisu feel grateful and more favorable to Xi Yue.
As the three of them walked side by side, Xi Yue suddenly rembered sothing and asked casually, “Where are Jun Hongbo and the others? Isn’t skipping class against the rules in Heavenly dical Valley?”
Mi Xuan and ng Zisu looked at each other, seeing hesitation in each other’s eyes.
ng Zisu hesitated for a long mont before finally saying, “The three of them disappear for a few days around this ti every year. The academy knows about it and allows it.”
Xi Yue was startled. Do they disappear every year at this ti? Why?
But soon, she put this question behind her.
She asked purely from an instructor’s standpoint, just to understand the situation better. It didn’t an she had any interest in ddling in their business, especially not when it ca to a bunch of brats who kept giving her trouble for no reason.
When they stepped out of the Water dicine Departnt’s barrier, a large crowd suddenly sward in from everywhere. Besides surrounding the group, they even pointed fingers at ng Zisu.
“Look, that’s ng Zisu, right? She’s really attractive, but I didn’t expect her to be so shaless deep down.”
“Is this even true? The ng family is a well-known noble family, and ng Zisu is their daughter. How could soone like her get engaged and still ss around with another man?”
“How could it be fake? The news ca straight from one of the Ke Family’s servants. I even went and asked Baiya about it—yeah, that’s ng Zisu’s younger sister, she studies over at the Pill Refining Departnt. She kept dodging the question, clearly trying to cover for her sister. It was only when I pushed her hard that she finally admitted her sister didn’t do it willingly.”
“You guys probably don’t know this, but ng Zisu’s skills as a doctor are awful. Yet she still gets to stay in Water dicine Class Three—word is, she used her seductive tricks to get her way. I heard it straight from a senior in the Pill Refining Departnt. She said that Dr. Li once let sothing slip, complaining about how badly he got screwed over while teaching in Class Three. Turns out, it was because ng Zisu seduced him, and he let his guard down for just a mont.”
“So it’s all true then? Damn, I really didn’t expect that. She always looked so proud and aloof, but deep down, she’s actually like that and so ruthless too. Just goes to show—you can never judge the book by its cover.”
“Would you look at that? She’s all buddy-buddy with that young guy—ain’t he the new instructor for Water dicine Class Three? The youngest dical prodigy or whatever, Xi Yue? Guess hooking up with Dr. Li wasn’t enough for her. Now she’s trying to reel in Xi Yue too. Seriously, has she no sha?”
…
All the voices ca crashing in like a wave, loud and clear, leaving the three of them with no doubt about what was being said.
ng Zisu’s face went pale, her body swaying like she could collapse any second. A loud buzzing filled her ears, and for a mont, it felt like everything around her just disappeared.
Everyone knew about her shaful past. Was it all out in the open now?
