Chapter 114: Chapter 114: Years (2)_1

Situ Xin didn’t care, but that didn’t mean others were indifferent. Situ Jin, Xiao Muli, and Yu Qihao’s expressions turned unpleasant when they saw Zhang Siya stand up. They all thought to themselves that if Zhang Siya dared to pull any tricks on Situ Xin, they wouldn’t mind showing her the door.

Even though in this class, Zhang Siya occasionally threw inexplicable glances at her, overall, Situ Xin’s life was pretty comfortable. When her classmates found out she was Situ Jin’s sister, their looks at Situ Xin changed. They tried to please her from time to time. The boys in the class were even more charmed by Situ Xin’s doll-like appearance and spoiled her like a little sister.

However, because of the presence of Situ Xin and those two, they didn’t dare to go too far. But they would occasionally bring some of the good snacks from their homes for Situ Xin.

"Baby, what are you thinking about today? You keep spacing out," Situ Jin spoke to Situ Xin, but seeing that she didn’t respond for a long while, he lowered his head to look at her and realized that the girl had lost herself in thought again.

"What? Is it because of the recent stress from studying?" Yu Qihao asked worriedly, and although Xiao Muli didn’t speak, the furrow in his brows let Situ Xin know that he was also very concerned about her. After so many years together, Situ Xin had become very attuned to the minutest actions of those around her.

"Nope, when have I ever worried about studies?" Situ Xin said with a look of surprise as to why they would even think that, looking at the three of them—Situ Jin and the other two.

"Yes, you have never worried about your studies. I don’t even know what your little head is made of. You barely attended elementary school, jumped straight to the graduating class, and still managed to take the middle school entrance exam and ranked first in the entire city," Situ Jin said adoringly to Situ Xin. It wasn’t hard to detect that there was no envy in his tone—just pride. He was proud to have such a sister.

To know that Situ Xin achieved good results brought them more joy than achieving good results themselves.

"And where do you three fall short? I haven’t seen you immerse yourselves in books or pay attention in class either. You’re always busy with your own stuff, and still, you rank the same as me in exams," Situ Xin glanced at her brother Situ Jin as she spoke.

The car entered the military compound and stopped at the doorstep of Situ Xin’s home. "Grandpa and Grandma, Grandfather and Grandmother. Grandpa Xiao and Grandma Xiao, Baby is back!" Situ Xin called out at the doorstep even before entering the house. It was a habit of hers. At home, she still used the nickname from her childhood, Baby, a term of endearment unique to her family.

"Baby, you’re back. Hurry, your grandma and Grandma Xiao and I have made you some delicious food. Come, have a snack first," Situ Xin had just walked in when her grandma pulled her to the dining table for the meal.

"Baby’s back. How was school, tired or not?" Old Master Situ’s face, usually stern, now beamed with affection when he saw his precious granddaughter.

"Not tired," Situ Xin replied while eating because, frankly, what could tire her? The knowledge from junior high was a piece of cake to her. She didn’t pay much attention in class; while browsing through the textbooks, she was actually learning from the knowledge in the Jade Token in her mind.

Lately, Situ Xin had been delving into the medical knowledge in the Jade Token in her brain. After some study, Situ Xin came to realize that what she had learned in the organization in her previous life was really just scratching the surface. Compared to the knowledge in her Jade Token, it was hardly noteworthy. Even the knowledge acquired by those who specialized in Chinese medicine was only a tenth of what was in the Jade Token.

After learning the medical techniques from the Jade Token, Situ Xin had no outlet to use them, except occasionally taking the pulse of family members. Over the years, thanks to the various elixirs, Martial Arts Secret Manuals, and the fruits and vegetables from her personal space that Situ Xin provided, her family’s health couldn’t be better. Even the aged Old Master Situ and the Old Madam had physical functions comparable to those of someone in their forties.

After having the snack, Situ Xin chatted with the elders at home for a while before heading upstairs to study. The workload for the ninth grade was indeed substantial; every day, each subject teacher would hand out a worksheet for the students to complete.

But to Situ Xin, although practice makes perfect, repeatedly doing things one already knows seemed like a waste of time. Therefore, when she found the homework load excessive and illogical, Situ Xin had her mother Loo Yaxin talk to her homeroom teacher. Given Situ Xin’s stellar grades, Loo Yaxin’s assertiveness, and the principal’s specific instructions before taking the class, her application to be exempt from homework was approved. Situ Jin, Xiao Muli, and Yu Qihao also rode on Situ Xin’s coattails and were freed from the heavy homework.

In the middle of the night, when everyone was fast asleep, Situ Xin skillfully leapt from her room’s window and out of her room. Then, using Qinggong, she made her way to the headquarters of the Dragon Society.

Situ Xin entered the headquarters building like she owned the place. "Miss, good evening." These years, everyone from top to bottom in the Dragon Society knew that Situ Xin was the Dragon Society’s young mistress. Even the leader of the Dragon Society was very respectful when he saw her.

Meanwhile, in the outside world, there were rumors that the Dragon Society had a mysterious young mistress, a master of martial arts who could take a life in a single move. But people had never actually seen this young mistress. In fact, in the whole Dragon Society, only Xia Yujie, Liu Yuxiang, and those fifty elites had seen Situ Xin’s face. Because every time she appeared, she wore a cap, always pulled down low.

Situ Xin nodded at them and went straight to the elevator. Behind her, the few who had just greeted her were incredibly excited. One of the younger-looking ones whispered excitedly, "That’s great, I saw the Miss, and she even greeted me!"

"Yeah, we’re so lucky," another said, equally thrilled.

Indeed, Situ Xin didn’t often come to the Dragon Society, because ever since she joined the same class as Situ Jin, she couldn’t skip classes during the day anymore. Thus, she could only visit the Dragon Society at night. Often, she would be at the Dragon Society’s training base in the evenings.
