Chapter 324: Chapter 325: Jealous Zang Qingxue (Part 3)
“My aunt is a genius, second only to my parents,” Zi Qianjing’s eyes softened as he always looked at Mu Ruyue in front of him. “She met my mother on an adventure, and perhaps it was that life-and-death situation that made them close friends. It was because of my aunt that my parents met. Actually, she’s just my cousin, but she grew up within our family and was very close to my mother. My father often got jealous over this and even warned her several times not to cling to my mother all the time. My aunt has a wild personality, loves causing trouble, and often ends up fighting at the slightest provocation. She’s been disciplined by my grandparents many times, but my mother always sided with her, and since my grandparents doted on my mother, they ended up letting it go after a few words…”
Mu Ruyue remained silent. How similar the experiences of Zi Qianjing’s parents were to her own! For a moment, she began to doubt whether Zi Qianjing could be the son of Zi Huang and Moon Venerate.
However, in Nangong Zifeng’s memories, she clearly saw the adorable child falling into a deep sleep, sealed in a place where time stood still, and he was still only five years old.
Besides, she had heard from Nangong Zifeng herself that a thousand years ago, no one from the Zi Family had survived. How could that so-called aunt have escaped the clutches of the demons?
So, it was just a coincidence…
“Jingjing, you can stay in my room if you want, but you are not allowed on the bed. Go and cultivate over there.”
She ultimately couldn’t bring herself to be harsh with the boy…
Zi Qianjing’s eyes sparkled with satisfaction, a smile spreading across his face. As long as she allowed him to stay, not being able to get on the bed was trivial—even standing there all night would be fine with him.
Inside the Alchemy Hall, there was a buzz of noise.
Suddenly, the originally bustling hall quieted down in an instant. Everyone’s gaze turned towards the door and fell on the two figures who had appeared against the sunlight…
The young man was handsome as a god, a straw stuck in his mouth, his smile lazy and contented. From time to time, he glanced at Mu Ruyue by his side, the laughter in his eyes deepened, as if her figure was the only one reflected in his eyes…
Mu Ruyue’s expression was cold. Seeing Zang Qingxue sitting on a yellow cushion, her eyes narrowed slightly.
Within the crowd, a puzzled voice emerged, “Could it be this year’s freshmen?”
Zang Qingxue’s eyes flickered, and she began to smile slightly. “Miss Liu Li, that young man is named Zi Qianjing, indeed today’s highlight, and the woman beside him is impressive. Did you know? She entered the Academy by passing the assessment.”
Entering the Academy through assessment might surprise ordinary people, but who are those who can enter the Central State Academy? They are disciples from various powers, and not all of them come here only to study. For example, Zang Qingxue, her goal is to find a talented husband to marry.
“Assessment? Please, in the end, she is just a lowly commoner without any backing.”
Upon hearing this mocking voice, many people started laughing. However, not everyone at the scene was there just for show; some genuinely wanted to improve. These people did not laugh at Mu Ruyue but instead looked at her in astonishment.
Being able to enter the Academy through assessment, this young girl’s talent was not bad…
“Miss Liu Li, your words are not correct,” said Zang Qingxue, looking at Mu Ruyue and then turning her head to glance at the woman in red, smiling lightly. “She is not without support. She has a powerful backing indeed; the Holy Realm Xiao Family is her support.”
