"Forget it for me, I was never good at studying before, so I won’t join this commotion. I believe that here, even without a diploma, I can make a name for myself. After all, I have skills others don’t, and as long as I seize this opportunity, I can profit in this era."
"If you came here just to talk about this, then we won’t see eye to eye. You have your path to walk, and I have mine. Clearly, our values were different in the past, and they remain different now that we are here. As the saying goes, people with differing paths can’t plan together. You make your money, and I’ll walk my path; we’re like wells and rivers that don’t interfere with each other."
"That’s true, but we are on the same journey in many ways, and sometimes fate binds us closely together. Honestly, if fate hadn’t tied us together, I would have loved to be friends with you, but it’s fated not to be."
"I never believe in fate." Xiaofeng laughed lightly: "Besides, I am me, and you are you. There’s never been any entanglement between us."
Lan Shuixian listened to her words and laughed: "Alright, if you think there’s none, then there’s none. Study hard and aim for a good university; I think this shouldn’t be a problem for you."
A 985 student from the 21st century sitting for the college entrance exam in the 90s—isn’t that child’s play.
"Thanks, but that’s my own business and has nothing to do with you. Let me give you a piece of advice: keep your business affairs honest, or you might capsize unwittingly."
"I’ve always been honest and fair. I earn the money I’m supposed to earn and not what I’m not."
"If there’s nothing else, I’ll head back first. There’s not much for us to talk about."
"I have nothing much either. I heard you were here, so I came to see you. Yu Shuiling’s acting is quite good. I think this drama will be another hit."
"She doesn’t care if it becomes popular. Anyway, her brother doesn’t rely on it for money. If it doesn’t become popular, you’d suffer quite a loss, wouldn’t you?"
Lan Shuixian listened to her words and chuckled lightly: "I’m not short of money either."
After a few words with Lan Shuixian, they each returned to their vehicles.
Xiaofeng couldn’t understand Lan Shuixian’s purpose in seeking her out.
However, what did she mean by saying that fate ties them together?
Returning home, the boy and girl twins were already asleep, and Yecheng hadn’t returned either.
He had been out these days, busy beyond belief.
"Xiaoqi." Xiaofeng lay on the bed: "Lan Shuixian said there’s a fate shared between us, what does that mean?"
The green apple-colored Xiaoqi frowned slightly: "There probably isn’t any connection between you two, I haven’t noticed any."
"Could it be that we have some connection in certain aspects, such as if I leave this world, she’ll also be affected in some way." Thinking of this, Xiaofeng recalled that her previous accidents seemed to be connected in some way to Lan Shuixian. Could she speculate that Lan Shuixian isn’t as friendly as she appears, or that Lan Shuixian wants to get rid of her?
In this world, only Lan Shuixian knows her secret, and similarly, only Lan Shuixian knows her secret. Could it be that she’s anxious to get rid of her, fearing that she might reveal her secret?
This is a possibility, after all, it’s not something that can be easily explained to others.
With that, the enmity between her and Lan Shuixian becomes quite clear.
"You come from the same era, so there might be some influence, more or less." Xiaoqi wasn’t very certain either.
"Looks like she’s treating me as an enemy." Xiaofeng thought of this possibility, feeling a bit helpless as she casually plucked a fruit from the space: "If she really minds that my presence threatens her status, she’ll certainly find a way to get rid of me. Damn, I came to this era, and didn’t expect others to see me as an enemy, but she does. Could there be something wrong with her brain?"
"Perhaps." Xiaoqi couldn’t figure out such questions.
After coming out of the space, Xiaofeng felt that if Lan Shuixian really considered her an enemy, then she would surely take action. The incidents that happened to her before were probably nine times out of ten related to her. Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs novel⦿fire.net
But why would she do this?
Just because she knows her secret, she treats her as an enemy.
According to her logic, can’t she treat her as an enemy in return?
Life at school went by quickly, and in the blink of an eye, more than half a month had passed. With the college entrance exams approaching, the atmosphere at school grew increasingly tense.
During these days, Xiaofeng completely transformed herself into a high school student, coming and going early, with endless books to read and problems to solve.
Of course, her grades improved rapidly, and in the latest exam, she ranked second in the year, only five points behind the first.
For such a result, naturally, some in class were envious while others were jealous.
With such scores, she was surely a candidate for either Dihua or Dibei.
Xiaonian and Shuiling also did well, both scoring over five hundred, close to six hundred. With another push, they should be able to score over six hundred by the college entrance exam.
With the rapid progress of these three new students in the class, of course, other students were unwilling to fall behind, resulting in an even better academic atmosphere in the class.
Seeing the students so self-motivated, the happiest person was, of course, Teacher Lu.
Initially, she tutored these three students because of face value, but now she realized that they’ve brought her too many surprises.
As some improved, others regressed.
Such was the case with Liu Shuang; for some reason, her scores got worse with each exam.
Because of this, watching the progress of Xiaonian and the sisters, she naturally felt more anxious.
In an ordinary house, there lived an elder.
The elder was reading in the courtyard when there was a knock on the door.
The elder opened the door and saw Gu Yecheng bringing people over.
Gu Yecheng looked at him, and smiled faintly: "Mr. Wu."
Wu Wei looked at him and stepped aside: "You’re only finding me now, isn’t your speed a bit slow."
Gu Yecheng stepped in wearing Martin shoes and glanced around the courtyard, simple and neat, truly a place fit for a Hermit.
"Mr. Wu, this place of yours is hard to find, so I put in some effort."
"That is true, if this place of mine were easy to find, it wouldn’t be me. What do you want to say now that you’ve come."
"It seems Mr. Wu is quite clear about what you’ve done before."
"I was merely a Martial Arts Instructor before, taught a few children, and they treat me like a father. Are such things illegal?"
"Of course not illegal, but we’ve heard that Mr. Wu opened a laboratory on Wuke Mountain. Mr. Wu, I’d like to ask how you came up with this ingenious idea. Who would have thought that in such a Taoist Sacred Place like Wuke Mountain, there would be a mysterious laboratory."
"Master Gu, be careful with your words." Wu Wei snorted coldly: "Wuke Mountain is a famous Taoist Sacred Place, and I won’t let you insult it."
Gu Yecheng threw some photos in front of Wu Wei: "Mr. Wu, we wouldn’t make baseless claims, take a look at these."
Wu Wei glanced at them and quickly chuckled: "What can a few photos prove?"
"Mr. Wu, don’t you want to explain anything?" Gu Yecheng looked coldly at the other.
