Chapter 349: Chapter 348: I Really Came to Help
"Finally arrived, is this the Imperial Capital?"
Sun and Moon Bright Sect.
When the sect members finally arrived at the Imperial Capital, everyone was stunned by the myriad appearances of the mysterious races of the heavens.
Even the Sect Leader of Tomorrow, who had been to the Imperial Capital countless times, felt a bit shaken in his heart, only feeling that the Imperial Capital truly lived up to being the star of Great Xia, prosperous and thriving, giving him a sense of pride and honor.
However, at this moment, what Ji Roufeng was thinking about was the Zhanzheng Academy inside.
Miss Qingya was studying here.
To Ji Roufeng, Wang Qingya was a very unique existence...
She actually was not someone who cared about superficial appearances.
But Xu Lingjun just inexplicably crashed into her heart; that was her first intimate encounter with a man.
And after Li Lei joined the sect...
He often mentioned Xu Lingjun to her, making the silhouette in her memory increasingly clear.
By now, her private luggage already contained countless photos of Xu Lingjun.
Furiously playing games, laughing heartily in videos, joking around with winks and gestures... every expression was so refreshing, like being bathed in a gentle spring breeze, as if under the lightest shower.
That warm liquid pours over every corner of the body, a feeling of fulfilling happiness and contentment.
Although each photo might have come at a considerable price, if you want a horse to run, how can you not feed it grass?
Sister-in-law or something... too embarrassing.
Alright, she was indeed superficial once, but ever since meeting that fated person, she became a Jun enthusiast.
And this time, she could finally meet his sister.
As long as she maintained a good relationship with her, she wouldn’t have to worry about not getting his favor in the future, right?
Thinking about it, Ji Roufeng couldn’t help but giggle softly to herself.
Arriving at the grand hotel arranged in advance by the Imperial Family.
The sect members all dressed in ancient costumes, casting a rather elegant aura, appearing in this modern and luxurious place, looked indeed somewhat out of place...
Especially when people from the Five Great Sects gathered together, it felt like a collective time travel.
But when the heads of the sects and leaders gathered in one place.
No one dared to mock, simply because the aura of the sect leaders was too strong.
In fact, the Five Sects were not like the Four Mansions, united in spirit; on the surface, they seemed harmonious, but secretly everyone was actually competing fiercely.
Especially though the Five Great Sects were strong, their prosperity could not be separated from the secret support of the Emperor.
Learn skills to serve the royal family.
Needless to say, the Sect Leader of Tomorrow and others were far from being detached and free of desires, especially if the sect wanted to develop further, it had to connect with the Empire.
And now the Emperor’s request was a signal...but the pie is only so big, who gets to eat it is the question.
Therefore, the sects came with a strong momentum, determined to achieve their goal.
But this had no relation to Ji Roufeng; although strong, she had been at the sect too long and was beyond the eligibility for another review, and in fact, she wasn’t here for the Five Sects Martial Arts Competition.
Arriving at the hotel, after settling her luggage.
She asked her master for leave, took the gifts she had prepared, and headed to the Zhanzheng Academy.
Yes, her goal was to take the family route.
As long as she managed to get close to the sister, she needn’t worry about not being cherished by her precious brother whom she wanted to hold in her hand and keep in her mouth?
All the way...
Ji Roufeng was still incessantly rehearsing her lines, hmm... what should I say when I meet Miss Qingya later?
A character as naturally gifted as Miss Qingya surely wouldn’t be interested in mundane affairs; Xu Lingjun is truly amazing to have such an outstanding sister.
Registering at the academy gate.
And then entering the premises.
In a ru skirt, her bright eyes shone, her skin was smooth and white, and her slender jade neck graceful like a swan, attracting who knows how many male students’ attention along the way.
Especially as Ji Roufeng walked along, muttering words to herself, which added a bit of cute silliness to her presence.
Using the address given by security, she arrived in front of Wang Qingya’s dormitory.
Knocked on the door, her face showing a friendly and warm smile that wasn’t overly ingratiating.
The door opened.
Then...
That face so fiercely crashed into her heart.
Meeting again, so unexpectedly.
Ji Roufeng’s expression became dazed, her smile turned foolishly cute, and for a moment her thoughts were in disarray as she just stood there.
Xu Lingjun looked at Ji Roufeng in surprise, after thinking for a moment, said delightedly, "You’re Miss Ji?"
"Mm... it’s me."
Ji Roufeng gazed at Xu Lingjun dumbfounded.
A flush of redness inexplicably appeared on her pretty face, she smiled gently, saying, "Hello, Xu Tongxue, I didn’t expect to see you here; it’s such a coincidence, you... aren’t you at Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion, how come you’re here?"
After speaking, seemingly afraid Xu Lingjun might misunderstand, she hurriedly explained, "Of course, don’t get me wrong, it’s not that I don’t want to see you, it’s just I didn’t expect you’d suddenly step out from my mind... oh no... I mean... I clearly remember you said your dream was Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion... I remember everything you say very clearly... uh... not that... uh..."
Ji Roufeng suddenly felt her tongue was getting remarkably uncooperative, not listening to her, and rambled, saying all kinds of things.
Damn it, is my mouth really that clumsy?
Seems I need to practice more, otherwise, what would I do when it matters?
She bowed her head in slight defeat, mumbling, "Sorry, I seem to have trouble speaking because I’m so thrilled... meeting you really makes me happy after all..."
She glanced at Xu Lingjun, softly saying, "After all, we’re friends, right?"
"Mm, yes."
Xu Lingjun smiled and explained, "I am indeed at Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion, but something at the Zhanzheng Academy needs my help, so I’ve been staying here."
"Really, Xu Tongxue, you’re amazing, even handling things at Zhanzheng Academy."
Ji Roufeng’s eyes shimmered as she looked at Xu Lingjun, he truly is remarkable.
But her eyes filled with admiration and longing made Xu Lingjun inexplicably feel a bit guilty...
Come to think of it, am I really helping them with research at the War Academy?
Every morning, I get up, then go to the Research Department to get the Transformation Capsule, show them how to take things out and put them back in, and then my day’s work is done.
The rest is teasing Sister Yaya, teasing Teacher Su, teasing Sister Yaya and Teacher Su.
Especially Teacher Su...
Their relationship was far from reaching the level of lovers, perhaps in a few years they might get there, but with Wang Qingya’s influence, they progressed faster, leading to Teacher Su being cooked up metaphorically.
Of course, she also sensed they would become closer eventually, and with the separation approaching, she mustered the courage.
But when they met again.
She clearly didn’t know how to face Xu Lingjun.
Though both were already in their twenties, yet her clumsy and shy demeanor, blushing with the urge to run yet reluctant to leave, truly left Xu Lingjun amazed at that moment.
Even now, he especially loved seeing her full of attachment yet shyly resisting and wanting to flee, but unfortunately, she couldn’t escape the restraint of a finger from Wang Qingya...
Xu Lingjun understood, the mouth and body language might be aloof, but he got it.
So in those few days, Xu Lingjun almost didn’t attend court.
Even Wang Qingya and Su Huanqing had to take leave... truly overwhelmed, bullied too hard.
But here, facing Ji Roufeng, with these days of absurdly lazy life paired with her admiring words, Xu Lingjun couldn’t help but feel as if being sarcastically mocked.
Are you even worthy of helping the War Academy folks with their tech?
