"Sister, did you hear that...?"
"My brother will take Wenji to Jixia Academy in six months, and then we will be able to meet again!"
Cai Wenji cheered and jumped for joy, her face beaming with happiness. Children's emotions come and go quickly.
Hearing Jiang Che's words, Cai Wenji felt a glimmer of hope, and her sadness lessened considerably; instead, she began to look forward to it.
"Then I'll be waiting for Wenji at the Jixia Academy..."
A bright smile bloomed on Xi Shi's pretty face. She glanced at Jiang Che subconsciously, and her goodwill towards him soared. Her gaze softened even more.
Previously, Xi Shi had spent her days playing and joking with Cai Wenji, so she naturally knew all about the little girl's past and knew that she carried a deep-seated blood feud.
Despite her young age, she carried too many burdens that were not appropriate for her age, which made Xi Shi feel even more sorry for the little girl.
Now that she heard Jiang Che say he wanted to avenge Cai Wenji, Xi Shi's affection for Jiang Che naturally increased rapidly, due to her fondness for him.
She didn't doubt Jiang Che's words.
Xi Shi believed that Jiang Che had the ability, after all, his status was extremely high, he was highly regarded by Haiyue and the Empress, and his own cultivation was also extremely strong, even stronger than her genius senior sister Ji Xiaoman, far surpassing his peers, and he was fully capable of avenging Cai Wenji.
Even if it's not possible now, it certainly will be possible in the near future.
Jiang Che's affection for the little girl was undeniable, no less than his own.
………………
"Goodbye, Wenji!"
"Your older sister is waiting for you at Jixia Academy~"
"Goodbye, Young Master Jiang, Sister Yuhuan~"
Xi Shi waved goodbye to everyone, then turned and left with light steps, disappearing into the end of the corridor in no time.
She had just left Cai Wenji a communication stone, so that even if they couldn't meet in person, she could still maintain their relationship with the little girl every day through this method.
"Sister Yuhuan, Wenji, I'm going to the palace to see His Majesty now..."
Watching Xi Shi's figure gradually disappear into the distance, until she completely vanished at the end of the corridor, Jiang Che said something to the two women and then quickly left Qingyun Manor.
The appointed time with Wu Zetian was fast approaching, and Jiang Che dared not break his promise, otherwise, this woman's wrath could be terrifying!
Jiang Che felt that it was necessary to adopt a sneaky fighting style when facing Wu Zetian.
It's best not to provoke this woman until you've fully matured and have the strength to challenge her.
"Goodbye, brother~"
"Go ahead, and remember to come back soon..."
………………
After leaving Qingyun Manor, Xi Shi moved with lightning speed and soon returned to Honglu Temple, where she found Ji Xiaoman and Zhong Wuyan packing their luggage.
"Little Xi Shi, did something happy happen to you?"
Seeing Xi Shi's beaming smile, even humming an unknown tune, Zhong Wuyan scratched her head and hesitantly asked why Xi Shi was so happy.
If I remember correctly, Xi Shi looked worried and sullen just before she left the Honglu Temple, right?
Ji Xiaoman also stopped what she was doing and looked at Xi Shi with a suspicious expression, seemingly lost in thought.
As if suddenly remembering something, a glint of wisdom flashed in Ji Xiaoman's eyes, and she teased.
"Little Xi Shi, let your senior sister guess 543..."
"Is it because that person confessed their feelings to you that you seem so happy?"
"Tell me, senior sister, what does it feel like to be confessed to by the person you love?"
Is the feeling of being in love really as magical as described in those novels and stories?
"What a mess!"
"Senior sister, what are you saying..."
Xi Shi looked blankly at Ji Xiaoman, who was talking eloquently. She was confused and didn't understand what Ji Xiaoman meant at all.
Has anyone confessed their feelings to me?
Although there were quite a few when I was at Jixia Academy, I didn't think much of any of them!
My senior sister also knows about this, so why bring it up again?
Moreover, when did I find someone I love?
Xi Shi was filled with questions, completely baffled, and had no idea how her senior sister had come to such an absurd conclusion.
Zhong Wuyan's gaze swept back and forth between Ji Xiaoman and Xi Shi, her heart filled with the same confusion.
Does Xi Shi have someone she likes?
As a good friend and also Xi Shi's protector, how come she didn't notice before?
"Stop pretending..."
"Do you dare say you don't like that guy named Jiang Che?"
"For a while now, he's been going to Qingyun Manor every few days, and he even stayed there..."
"I'm not trying to be mean, but girls need to learn to be reserved. You know what reserve is!"
"By offering yourself up for free like this, you seem a bit cheap..."
"You looked so worried when you left, but you're so happy after just one trip?"
"Tell your senior sister, have you already secretly pledged your life to Jiang Che?"
When will he elope with you?
Ji Xiaoman pushed up glasses that weren't actually on her nose, adopting the air of an incredibly wise sage, as if she had already seen through Xi Shi completely. She immediately launched into a barrage of questions.
At this moment, Ji Xiaoman also felt a little excited and began to fantasize about the scene of her junior sister eloping with Jiang Che in the future.
Will the plots in traditional Chinese novels finally come true in real life?
What's with this inexplicable sense of anticipation?
Although Xi Shi never said it, Ji Xiaoman had been paying close attention to her junior sister's every move during this time. She naturally knew that Xi Shi liked to run to Qingyun Manor whenever she had nothing to do, and even stopped setting up her stall and earning money.
Such behavior could only mean she has feelings for Jiang Che.
Back when she was at Jixia Academy, she had never seen Xi Shi actively seek out any man. It was always those shameless guys who came up to Xi Shi and confessed their love to her, which annoyed Xi Shi to no end.
Ji Xiaoman believed that she had long understood all of Xi Shi's inner thoughts; she was just a young girl in love!
She's not going to steal your man, so what's there to be ashamed of?
After hearing Ji Xiaoman's words, Zhong Wuyan looked enlightened and thoughtfully glanced at Xi Shi.
…………………………………………….
122: Outrageous! The Empress actually likes a pretty boy like Jiang Che?
After listening to Ji Xiaoman's words, Xi Shi finally understood what her wildly imaginative senior sister was thinking. She was speechless and exasperated.
Didn't I already tell my senior sister why I went to Qingyun Manor before?
It's not that I like Jiang Che; I just like this little girl, Cai Wenji!
Although she did have a good impression of Jiang Che and thought he was a responsible and dependable man, she was far from liking him!
"Senior sister, didn't I already tell you this before..."
"The reason I'm staying at Qingyun Manor is because Wenji lives there, and I'm here to keep her company..."
"He doesn't like Jiang Che at all!"
"Putting your life together in secret is even more absurd. Do you think I, your senior sister, am the kind of person who would be blinded by love and disregard everything else?"
"If you have no man in your heart, making money will naturally be a god's achievement!"
"All I, Shi Yiguang, desire in this life is gold, silver, and top-grade spirit stones. I will never fall in love with any man!"
Xi Shi's expression was serious and earnest, and her words were righteous and powerful, but Ji Xiaoman clearly had a disbelieving look on her face and ignored her explanation.
Ji Xiaoman didn't believe Xi Shi's explanation at all, and muttered with a pout.
"Little Xi Shi..."
"What else do you have to hide in front of your senior sister?"
"Anyway, your senior sister won't steal your man, so just admit it openly..."
"Perhaps your senior sister can even offer some advice and help you better control Jiang Che!"
"Although I, your senior sister, have never had any dating experience, I am still a woman who has thoroughly read 'Thirty-Six Ways to Slay Men' and 'The Autobiography of Emperor Ruyan'!"
"It would be a piece of cake for you to control Jiang Che, wouldn't it?"
Ji Xiaoman patted her full breasts, which trembled and swayed, exuding a magnificent aura. She proudly raised her delicate and pretty face, and her long golden hair shone brightly in the sunlight, showing the charming beauty of a young girl.
Zhong Wuyan, who was standing to the side, nodded in agreement and offered words of comfort.
"Little Xi Shi, what your senior sister said makes perfect sense..."
"If you have any ideas, feel free to share them. My senior sister and I can help you come up with solutions!"
Although Zhong Wuyan didn't quite understand "Thirty-Six Ways to Slay Men" and "The Autobiography of Emperor Ruyan," she had always blindly worshipped her senior sister Ji Xiaoman, so she naturally believed Ji Xiaoman's casually made-up words without a doubt.
Ji Xiaoman is the most talented and beautiful girl in the history of Jixia Academy. Isn't it reasonable for her to be so multi-talented?
"you………"
"You guys...you're really driving me crazy!"
"I really don't like Jiang Che!"
Seeing Ji Xiaoman and Zhong Wuyan's statements, Xi Shi stomped her feet hard, her face flushed red, her pretty face slightly reddened, and she was overwhelmed with shame, leaving her speechless.
Is it true that nobody believes the truth these days?
She really doesn't like Jiang Che!
My senior sister really has a wild imagination!
