The moment the woman in green opened her mouth to speak, the group of young men responded as though they had been granted amnesty, replying, “Yes, Senior Sister Shao!”
Crap. Why had Lu Jiu Que looked so frightening earlier on? She had scared them to the point that they forgot to reflect.
From the original host’s memory, Lu Jiu Que knew that the name of the woman before her was Shao Qingrou. She was one of the Qing Yan Empire’s rare geniuses.
Besides her beautiful face and peerless elegance and grace, Shao Qingrou had even been blessed with great luck. When she was merely twenty years old, she had obtained a treasure from the secret realm. Now, at twenty-five years old, she was already a formal disciple of the Heavenly Divination Sect.
As all should have known, the Heavenly Divination Sect wasn’t just some random, insignificant sect, but a second-class one. It was established as such an eminent existence that many people only dared to look up to it.
This was why Shao Qingrou, with her beauty and talent, was reputed as countless young men’s dream girl. She was complimented as the flower of the empire, and the younger generation also affectionately greeted her as “Senior Sister Shao.”
What everyone saw at that moment was Shao Qingrou turning back to smile at Lu Jiu Que. Her face, which was as beautiful as a white lotus flower, looked as though it had produced brilliant rays. It was exquisite and charming.
“Miss Lu, don’t be angry with us. We’re just worried that you’re not well-rested. That’s all. Now that you’re alright, everything’s fine. Let’s hurry back, shall we? Then we’ll prepare for tomorrow’s test together. As your senior, I’ll help you.” Shao Qingrou smiled, causing the young men to feel ripples in their hearts. How they all wished they could lay down their lives for her.
The thing was, half a day had gone by with Lu Jiu Que not paying any attention to Shao Qingrou. This somewhat embarrassed Shao Qingrou. Her awkward and helpless look made the young men’s tempers flare.
Lu Jiu Que was just a worthless nobody. Their goddess was taking special care of her, yet she reciprocated with such indifference?
She had to be tired of living!
“Lu Jiu Que, Senior Sister Shao is responsible for escorting us to the test, which makes her our guardian. You actually dare to show her such attitude? If you’re going to leave without a word and act without permission again, you better not blame Senior Sister Shao for revoking your chance to sit for the Heavenly Divination Sect test tomorrow!”
“That’s right. Ah, with your looks, you still dare to secretly like… Ahem, please go back and look at yourself in the mirror!”
“You’re a toad that wishes it had a swan’s shape!”
…
Although there was quite a handful of sects recruiting disciples at the same time the next day, all the people of the Qing Yan Empire had their sights set on the Heavenly Divination Sect. That was because the Heavenly Divination Sect had a lofty status, and Shao Qingrou was highly favored within the sect. With her helping behind the scenes, it would be somewhat easier to enter the Heavenly Divination Sect.
Since they wanted to win Shao Qingrou’s favor, the more the crowd scolded Lu Jiu Que, the more repulsed their expressions became, and their words also became particularly cruel.
“Calm down, all of you… Don’t do this…” persuaded Shao Qingrou. Yet when she looked at Lu Jiu Que, there was a flash of coldness in her eyes.
Looking at the comical scene before her, Lu Jiu Que slowly broke into a smile. On her little face blackened by filth, her eyes looked exceptionally bright.
She could never miss such a malicious and crafty look, as well as the murderous intent that had flashed on Shao Qingrou’s face just then.
If it was because the original host was too scatterbrained and needlessly sweet to react, then Lu Jiu Que could finally understand why these people would rack their brains just to think of how they could frame her.
It was all because of this Shao Qingrou, right?
Shao Qingrou was fond of the sixth prince, while the sixth prince had been exceptionally kind to the original host and only took great care of her.
Although this was merely because of an agreement between the sixth prince and the Lu family, it became an extra nail in the coffin for her body’s original host, which was quite ironic.
Tired of watching her tricks, Lu Jiu Que shrugged her shoulders and contemptuously said, “Shao Qingrou? She’s not qualified.”
The crowd was dumbfounded. All of their insulting words immediately stopped.
What had Lu Jiu Que said? That Senior Sister Shao wasn’t qualified? Had she lost her mind?!
