Chapter 1300: Call Chu Yue to Come Over!
At this point, a small commotion came from the crowd.
Chu Liuyue looked up and saw a familiar face—Jiang Zhiyuan.
She actually returned at this time. Chu Liuyue squinted her eyes slightly.
“Zhiyuan, you’re finally back!” Liang Xiaoxiao—who was originally chatting happily with a few people—seemed shocked when she saw that Jiang Zhiyuan was back. She hurriedly smiled and welcomed her. “We thought you weren’t coming!”
Jiang Zhiyuan pressed her lips against each other and smiled. “I’ve been at home for a while. If I don’t come back soon, my grades will be affected.”
Liang Xiaoxiao smiled and said, “It’s great that you’re back! Did you see the Mission Board? Today, we’re selecting the people that can go to the Flood-Desert Northern Region! If you were late by a few days, you would’ve missed it!”
Jiang Zhiyuan nodded. “I heard about it. It seems like we need to form teams? I remember that when the last Mission Board was released, we did it together. I didn’t expect us to go so far this time.”
Liang Xiaoxiao’s smile instantly became a little awkward. “Um… Zhiyuan, you didn’t say that you were coming previously, so I’ve already teamed up with other people… It’s not very appropriate to kick someone out now so suddenly…”
Jiang Zhiyuan then realized something, and her expression froze.
“But don’t worry. Even if we’re not on the same team, we can still be together then!” Liang Xiaoxiao carefully glanced at her. “Zhiyuan, you won’t be angry with me, right?”
Jiang Zhiyuan suppressed her anger, forced a smile, and replied, “Why would I? I also know that I came back suddenly, and there’s no choice if you’ve already formed a team. Don’t worry. I can look for other people.”
As she spoke, she surveyed the surroundings and walked in a direction.
There were still many people around, so Jiang Zhiyuan had to maintain her expression. But in her heart, she was already annoyed and hated Liang Xiaoxiao. She seems passionate on the surface, but her every move and action Is ostracizing me. Liang Xiaoxiao clearly plans to keep her distance. Just because I lost to Lin Zhifei and accidentally said those words? Whatever the reason, I have seen through her. The past few years of friendship were worth nothing!
Liang Xiaoxiao looked at her back view and crossed her arms, her intricate, fox-like face curling up into a smile.
“Xiaoxiao, there’s actually no fixed number of people in a team. It’s fine if she tags along. Why…” At the side, a woman couldn’t help but lean over and speak softly.
Liang Xiaoxiao raised her brows and looked at her. “Then, why don’t we replace you with her? If you’re willing, we’ll all be fine with it.”
“No, no, forget it then!” That woman shrunk her neck and hurriedly rejected her.
The other youngster laughed and said, “Actually, Xiaoxiao is doing this for our own good. Zhiyuan… is actually quite okay in other aspects, but she doesn’t seem to be in good condition nowadays. What will happen if she suddenly makes a blunder and we get into trouble? We can’t afford that.”
Actually, his words were a stretch.
Jiang Zhiyuan was in bad condition, but that was before she left the academy. If he still brought it up now, it was clear that he was just looking for an excuse.
In actual fact, due to the previous incident, Jiang Zhiyuan’s image in the academy had collapsed. Everyone felt that she was unlike what she seemed on the surface, so they weren’t willing to team up with her.
Besides, with her current behavior, she probably had offended Rong Xiu long ago. Nobody wanted to take the risk and stand on opposing sides as Rong Xiu.
Even though Jiang Zhiyuan was outstanding, she wasn’t the only girl in the academy. There were also quite a few daughters of aristocratic families with good backgrounds, looks, and talent. There was no need to chase after her.
Liang Xiaoxiao pushed her loose strands of hair behind her ears and turned around. “Everyone has their own fate. We should just mind our own business.”
…
Jiang Zhiyuan then found quite a few people afterward, but all of them curtly rejected her using all kinds of reasons.
The smile on her face could not last as the anger in her heart grew increasingly intense. How long has it been?! I only left the academy for a short period of time, yet such a big change had occurred! In the past, they still doted on me and chased me, but now, everyone is avoiding me like poison! Even the few that I’m on the best terms with have all flung me away without hesitation!
After being rejected once again, Jiang Zhiyuan clenched her fists tightly and clenched her teeth. Her face felt hot as if someone had slapped her multiple times!
She had never felt such ostracization in Ling Xiao Academy! This situation was much worse than she had predicted!
She wanted to dig a hole and bury herself in it!
…
“I really didn’t expect Jiang Zhiyuan to have such a day.” Zhuo Sheng pouted. “When we first came, she was kind of in the spotlight in the academy.”
“It’s all because she did something wrong,” said Luo Yanming faintly.
Chu Liuyue watched on for a while and retracted her gaze. Jiang Zhiyuan really can’t control herself. Such a person isn’t even worth worrying about.
…
Million Wine Mountain.
Elder Bo Yan and Elder Ouyang stood on the mountaintop and looked at the fountain with tightly furrowed brows.
“What exactly happened?”
After a long while, Elder Ouyang said with a deep voice. “It has been so long, but the fountain hasn’t recovered at all.”
Actually, they had already repaired everything in Million Wine Mountain more than half a month ago. But as they always came at night, they only discovered that something was wrong with the fountain on the last day in the afternoon.
It didn’t spout water anymore.
In the past, the fountain water would continuously emerge from within and flow down during the day. But now, it stopped!
They came over to take a look every day, but the results they had were all the same!
Elder Bo Yan walked down the mountain. “Call Chu Yue to come over!”
