Chapter 265: Chapter 194: Five Women!

After hanging up the phone, Sui Yi turned his head and saw Yhan Qingwu at his side, pursing her lower lip. Her eyes slightly red but ultimately no tears fell, just a tender and clear glance back.

In the end, there were no words.

Sui Yi also didn’t speak until they reached the school gate, deserted except for the two of them.

"We met again, desk mate," Yhan Qingwu’s voice was just as gentle as it was several months ago, yet brought to Sui Yi’s mind the faintly pale and gentle side of her face from the day she left.

Outside the window, the desolate wind howled; meeting an old friend again was like beholding a changed sea.

But that didn’t necessarily mean there was no chance of redemption.

"Mm," Sui Yi slowly nodded, releasing Yhan Qingwu’s hand, afraid to pat her head.

"You don’t need to concern yourself with this matter, just watch," he said.

That protective stance, that calm and gentle poise...

If her mother were here, she couldn’t have managed it.

Because she bore a humble heart over her daughter’s life-threatening situation, she could only endure.

But her desk mate was different.

He brought the most brilliant colors.

Yhan Qingwu’s heart was filled with various words: the joy of reuniting, the awkwardness of meeting under such circumstances, the desolation of being abandoned by her family, the bleakness of enduring months in silence...

At that moment, all remained unsaid.

Because he may very well understand.

So she didn’t speak.

She couldn’t ask, "Do you even know what you’re doing?"

No need to ask, for her desk mate was no less clever than she was.

Therefore, silence was the only option.

At that time, after the absolute quiet within the school came an explosive burst!

Almost as if it could blow the roof off the school.

The fight had indeed strayed far from the usual scope of violence witnessed by ordinary people, but fortunately, Sui Yi and the Yun family members had refrained from using swords or blades, and the intensity of the combat wasn’t on the level of flying sand and moving rock, nor did it involve acrobatics over eaves and walls; moreover, because Sui Yi’s actions were so swift, everything ended in a short span of time, which left most people bewildered.

In the end, all they knew was that the new transfer student... trounced the Crown Prince Yun!

The teachers on stage were silent.

The students below... burst into uproar!

Like boiling water exploding out of the pot.

They were all noisy, yet they carefully suppressed their noise because Yun Junyan’s expression was indeed not pleasant.

Only a few dared to sneer.

"Wow, Crown Prince Yun took a loss there~~" At the back of the senior third-grade line, it must be Class 20 or so, where a few students were smirking.

"Isn’t that the truth? Even his fiancée was taken away... really amusing," they said in a tone that suggested they had both the capital and the audacity to challenge—and perhaps, to mock—Crown Prince Yun’s dignity, even though their backgrounds were hardly inferior.

But unanimously, they were most interested in Sui Yi.

"Villa number 13 on Yujiang Mountain... quite bold, issuing a direct challenge. The evening is sure to be interesting," they said.

Who said it won’t be interesting?

Otherwise, when Gong Jiu arrived, as the car door opened, Sui Yi and company wouldn’t have seen a bewitchingly smiling woman, full of demonic charm.

Get in the car, close the door, drive off.

"To Yujiang Mountain," she commanded.

"OK," the driver replied.

That woman immediately lunged to hug Sui Yi... "Hey there, my dear Ah Yi. Long time no see~~"

It had indeed been a long time.

Sui Yi looked at the person in front of him, "It’s been a while, Miss Hua."

Can’t you change the nickname that makes me wish I were dead!

Flower Demon released Sui Yi immediately, rolling her eyes, "You really are unchangeable, so cruel to me..." then she looked at Yhan Qingwu again, "But for Miss Yhan, such protective attention... it really is~~"

The Flower Demon and Gong Jiu, though somewhat detached from the circles of Yhan Qingwu and the like, who normally didn’t associate with proper youths, were nevertheless well-known. Yhan Qingwu naturally knew what the famous Lesbian was teasing about, thus her brows furrowed slightly, and she gently said, "In a flowery world, for a graceful lady, that title suits well, better than always calling your desk mate..."

How could one not say that Miss Yhan was both clever and composed?

She didn’t follow the usual route of aggrieved sadness, nor did she beg Sui Yi to leave...

The Flower Demon and Gong Jiu’s laughter, initially held back, now burst forth a few degrees warmer, clearly more interesting and bolder than they had expected.

However, Gong Jiu still harbored some hostility towards Yhan Qingwu, something a clever girl like her could keenly feel, even though the reason was unclear.

Was it because she implicated Sui Yi?

And the way the Flower Demon looked at her was somewhat strange~~

Sui Yi naturally didn’t pay much attention to the undercurrents flowing between the three, although she was keenly aware of them.

But clearly, more important matters were at hand.

"How many martial artists in the Yun family have over a hundred years of Inner Strength?" she asked.

"At most four or five, all old bones who won’t easily make a move, those they sent are probably around thirty to forty years of strength... but it also depends on how miserably you beat up Crown Prince Yun and how fiercely he complains..." Gong Jiu immediately switched to serious mode, speaking frankly and even casting a glance at Yhan Qingwu through the rearview mirror, "I just contacted the Tang Family... they should be on their way to your place by now. By the way, are you sure about setting things up at your place?"

She felt it was somewhat inappropriate as that place was after all Sui Yi’s home... even though the setting was quite suitable~~

"They would eventually come looking, so why not welcome them in ourselves? At least people normally wouldn’t revisit a place they’ve stumbled upon once, would they?"

Sui Yi spoke indifferently.

Upon hearing this, Flower Demon Yaofei’s eyes lit up, giving Sui Yi a deep look.

A few people discussed for a while, and they came to a firm conclusion. First, the Yun family members would definitely come knocking! Otherwise, they would lose significant face!

Second, the location would be Sui Yi’s villa.

Third, Yhan Qingwu’s illness had to be resolved; otherwise, the Tang Family would not dare to throw all their chips in! Morally, it just wouldn’t hold up.

The combination of the first and second points meant that no one else could stay in Sui Yi’s villa.

Lin Yun and the others had to leave.

Therefore, Sui Yi called Lin Yun and Liang Qing on the way, asking them not to go to her home that night. As for the other resident~~

Miss Jiang Chenyu had not yet learned to answer the phone, so Sui Yi didn’t bring it up.

The four of them quickly returned to Sui Yi’s villa. Yhan Qingwu naturally was not surprised by such a villa but inwardly marveled at Sui Yi’s capabilities, which were greater than she had imagined.

Originally, she thought that her deskmate had disappeared from her world forever.

No, she was the one who had disappeared from the other’s world.

"Come in," Gong Jiu called out to her, opening the door and following behind Sui Yi. She naturally took out her own slippers... then turned to the two people behind her and said, "Get your own slippers, ha~~" and deliberately stretched her legs out to show off her Pirate King Chopper slippers...

Her tone and posture were just short of carving on her forehead— I’m close with Sui Yi ha~~ I have slippers here~~ I’m half the host ha~~

Flower Demon Yaofei scoffed at such ostentation, "Such virtue! It’s just shamelessly moving in...."

Adjacent, Yhan Qingwu observed dispassionately, only glancing at Gong Jiu before putting on a pair of slippers and walking into the foyer, just in time to see Sui Yi heading to the living room where someone was present.

A woman.

The woman was reading a book.

Perhaps just over twenty, very young, dressed in a dignified yet slightly conservative home outfit, her slender and gentle figure nestled into the plush sofa, a book pressed in her hand as she tilted her head up speaking to Sui Yi, then turned her head, scanning over the three women...

Those eyes were shallow, pale, and refined, but they gave the impression of being seen through in an instant,

—This woman was no ordinary person!

"There might be some trouble today, and it could be dangerous for you to stay here. If you agree, I can have someone arrange for you to go somewhere else..."

Even facing a person who was neither kin nor friendly and even held animosity towards her, Sui Yi maintained a good composure and sought her opinion.

That detached and polite tone made Yhan Qingwu, who had approached, subconsciously look at Jiang Chenyu...

This woman... was more elegant and higher in stature than any young lady she had seen in the great families.

Oddly enough, she felt captivated by the other’s demeanor, even with almost no prior contact.

Jiang Chenyu, having already unobtrusively shifted her gaze away from the two Yhan family members, gently touched the cover of the book, looking back at Sui Yi.

"Will death be a possibility?"

"Possibly."

"Then do you think I would be afraid of death?"

Sui Yi remained silent, just closing her eyes slightly, only to see Jiang Chenyu standing up and coming closer to Sui Yi...

She leaned close to her, whispering in her ear, "You seem to have forgotten that I’ve already died once, a long, long time ago..."

The voice was very soft, but Gong Jiu and Flower Demon Yaofei still heard it, and their expressions were slightly strange.

The former bore hostility, while the latter was deep in thought.

And Sui Yi frowned slightly, always feeling there was a more profound implication in the other’s words, but after thinking it carefully, she could not discern what it was.

However, after Jiang Chenyu finished speaking, she stepped back three steps away from Sui Yi, smiling at Yhan Qingwu and the others just right—composed, gentle, approachable, yet not too close.

"Hello, I’m Jiang Chenyu."

"Yhan Qingwu."

"Flower Demon Yaofei."

The three people, along with Gong Jiu...

Dignified and classic, the epitome of a lady.

Majestic and compelling, cold and showy.

Enchanting and captivating, high-profile and unrestrained.

Cool and gentle, refined and noble.

Four individuals of different ages and statuses exchanged glances in an instant...

Their gazes drifted back and forth, subtly, as light as a breeze, as indifferent as the clouds.

Quickly, each released their grip.

After the handshake and introductions, Jiang Chenyu found an excuse to head upstairs and to her room.

Sui Yi didn’t try to stop her. As the host, she went to the kitchen to prepare some drinks. Flower Demon Yaofei, however, plopped down onto a seat, legs crossed, "Gong Jiu, you’ve been living here for days, don’t tell me you don’t know anything about that girl, ha~~"

"Just know a name... nothing else~~" Gong Jiu tossed an eye towards Sui Yi in the kitchen and rolled her eyes.

Sui Yi was protective of her!

Flower Demon Yaofei, hearing this, chose not to probe further, deciding that Sui Yi’s acquaintances were all abnormal.

And Yhan Qingwu...

She seemed more composed than either of them had imagined. After all she had been through, she could still sit there calmly, as if pondering something...

Gong Jiu and Flower Demon Yaofei exchanged glances. This one was abnormal as well.

Drinks were served quickly, two glasses of wine and a glass of water.

Actually, the matters that needed to be discussed had been covered; there was nothing more than that.
