Chapter 91

The group galloped from afar and swiftly arrived at the base of this high slope.

Si Qiuying looked at the exquisite figure that had separated from the group, riding a horse, and said to Li Luo, "Since you disagree with my suggestion, then consider it as if I never said anything."

Her gaze swept over Li Luo, and the implication of her words was clearly to prevent Li Luo from mentioning their conversation to Jiang Qing'e.

Li Luo smiled but ignored her, as his eyes were fixed on the approaching figure.

The figure rode up to the high slope. She sat on the horse, wearing a deep blue short cloak, with a battle skirt below, revealing long, straight, and supple legs, and a figure that was perfect enough to make one's heart race.

She appeared stunningly beautiful and spirited.

Her pure golden eyes first glanced at Li Luo, then turned to Si Qiuying, and she smiled faintly, "Little Earthworm, are you so interested in my young lord that you even came to greet him?"

Si Qiuying smiled awkwardly and then obediently said, "I just came to see the top scorer of the Tian Shu County exam."

Jiang Qing'e remained indifferent and asked Li Luo, "Is that so?"

Si Qiuying quickly gave Li Luo a meaningful look.

Seeing this, Li Luo said, "This Miss Si came to ask me to annul our engagement and then wanted to arrange a marriage between her elder brother and you."

"Little girl, you're too naive. Why don't you ask at the Nanfeng Academy what I, Li Luo, am best at? It's tattling!"

The smile on Si Qiuying's face immediately froze, and she glared at Li Luo with fiery eyes.

Jiang Qing'e's beautiful face showed no emotion, and she said calmly, "Little Earthworm, you've grown quite bold, daring to meddle in my affairs?"

Si Qiuying took a few steps back and said softly, "No, Qing'e, please listen to my explanation."

She then turned and ran.

Jiang Qing'e flicked her finger, and several spheres of light formed by the power of light appeared at her fingertips. The light spheres shot out and struck Si Qiuying's buttocks, making a pattering sound.

"Ugh!"

Si Qiuying's face turned red, and she covered her buttocks, her eyes brimming with tears as she pleaded, "Qing'e, I'm wrong, please stop!"

Jiang Qing'e dispelled the power of light and said, "Don't do it again."

"Also, don't try to set up your brother with anyone in the future. He may be quite excellent, but I'm not interested."

Hearing this, Si Qiuying felt a bit不服气 (unconvinced) and argued, "Qing'e, my brother is really very good. Even the mentors at the Holy Xuan Star Academy say he has the potential to become a marquis!"

"Marquis?"

Jiang Qing'e smiled faintly and said, "Is that all you can see?"

Si Qiuying was taken aback. If anyone else had said this, they might have been spat at, but when it came from Jiang Qing'e, it was hard to argue.

Si Qiuying pouted and glanced at Li Luo, who was watching the scene, and huffed, "My brother might not be as good as you, Qing'e, but he's definitely better than him!"

Jiang Qing'e smiled and said, "That's not necessarily true. Two months ago, Li Luo was just a Void Phase, and now he's the top scorer of Tian Shu County. If given more time, he might become the top freshman at the Holy Xuan Star Academy."

Si Qiuying said incredulously, "Qing'e, you're exaggerating, aren't you?"

Although she had to admit that Li Luo's achievement of becoming the top scorer of Tian Shu County in just two months was impressive, saying he could become the top freshman at the Holy Xuan Star Academy was an exaggeration. The Holy Xuan Star Academy was a place where countless geniuses from the entire Daxia Empire gathered. What did Li Luo have to qualify for that?

Jiang Qing'e, however, had no intention of continuing the conversation with Si Qiuying and just waved her hand, dismissing her.

Si Qiuying, feeling helpless, put on her boots, gritted her teeth, and gave Li Luo a hateful look before turning and leaving.

Watching Si Qiuying leave with her group, Li Luo said, "You're too harsh, giving me so much trouble right from the start."

If Jiang Qing'e's words were to spread, Li Luo felt his survival in the Holy Xuan Star Academy would become even more challenging.

"I suspect you're setting me up, but I have no evidence."

Jiang Qing'e's golden eyes blinked lightly, and she tilted her head slightly, looking somewhat innocent.

Li Luo, who was about to scold her, couldn't bring himself to do so because, damn, she was too cute. Jiang Qing'e, you're so beautiful and still act cute; it's unfair.

However, Jiang Qing'e quickly regained her composure, and her beautiful face became calm. "Not bad. I thought you'd just get into the Holy Xuan Star Academy, but you became the top scorer of Tian Shu County."

"Ah, it was forced, all forced." Li Luo shook his head, looking as if he didn't want to recall it.

Jiang Qing'e lightly said, "Oh," and didn't ask further.

Li Luo was taken aback. Really? She wasn't going to ask? He finally had something to talk about with Jiang Qing'e, and it was going to be suppressed? How frustrating.

But no matter how frustrating, he had to endure it. He couldn't force it out, as that would be too awkward.

So Li Luo could only suppress his frustration.

"Let's go see Cai Wei and Lingqing. I haven't seen them for a while." Jiang Qing'e said, leading the red horse and walking down the slope.

Seeing this, Li Luo could only follow somewhat reluctantly.

The two walked down the high slope, and the sunset light fell on them like a rosy glow, making them seem enveloped in light, as if they were one.

Cai Wei and Yan Lingqing stood outside the carriage, watching the two figures approaching from a distance. The former smiled, "From their appearance, these two are really a good match."

Yan Lingqing nodded in agreement. Even though she didn't usually care much about appearance, she had to admit that among the men she had seen, few could match Li Luo in looks.

Under their gaze, Jiang Qing'e and Li Luo approached.

"Qing'e, I've missed you so much!" Yan Lingqing happily rushed over and hugged Jiang Qing'e, whose beautiful and slightly stern face softened as she gently patted Yan Lingqing's back.

Cai Wei's charming eyes also held joy, but she wasn't as excited as Yan Lingqing. She walked over and gave Jiang Qing'e a light hug.

Jiang Qing'e, with one arm around each of them, smiled, "Cai Wei, Lingqing, thank you for your hard work."

Li Luo, watching the three women embrace, suddenly felt a bit sad, as he realized he seemed a bit redundant.

They had gone through so much together in Nanfeng City, and if possible, he wouldn't mind joining in the celebration.

"Li Luo, do you want to join in the celebration?" Yan Lingqing's voice suddenly came.

Li Luo looked up, about to respond, but saw Jiang Qing'e turn her head, her eyes smiling. He then expressionlessly waved his hand and said, "I'm not interested in women's gatherings."

This directly caused low laughter.

Li Luo watched the three women chat for a while, feeling his legs go numb. Fortunately, they eventually noticed and stopped their conversation, still somewhat reluctant.

Yan Lingqing and Cai Wei mounted the red horse, while Jiang Qing'e got into the carriage.

Li Luo was about to mount the red horse but saw Jiang Qing'e looking at him, her golden eyes smiling.

"Are you not coming? I want to hear about your performance in the academy exam."

Li Luo was taken aback and then lightly coughed, "Actually, there's not much to—"

"Then forget it." Jiang Qing'e waved her hand.

"Cough, but if you really want to hear, I can tell you." Li Luo quickly changed his tone and darted onto the carriage, his heart filled with tears. Jiang Qing'e, you're a little demon tormenting people.
