Gu Jiao gave Su Xue a glance and continued walking, "Your brother isn't here."

Su Xue caught up with Gu Jiao, "I know he's not here. He went out of Shengdu on business. I'm not looking for him, I'm here to find you."

"What's the matter?" Gu Jiao asked.

"Can't I come to see you without a reason?" Su Xue pouted.

Why does this line sound strangely familiar?

Gu Jiao gave her a peculiar look and said seriously, "You can’t."

Su Xue choked and her steps faltered.

Does this person even know how to talk properly? Seriously?

Gu Jiao walked ahead. She was considered tall among women and her strides were quick, making it hard for Su Xue to keep up.

Breathing heavily, Su Xue said, "Can you… Can you slow down a bit? I came all this way to find you, can't you even wait for me? You're as cold-hearted as my roommate!"

Gu Jiao stopped.

"Your roommate?"

Gu Jiao finally remembered. She looked at Su Xue and asked, "Last time you said your new roommate is a mute and had a little dark kid with them?"

Su Xue nodded and said, "That’s right!"

Gu Jiao paused, then asked again, "What is the child's name?"

"Little Black?" Su Xue blinked and sighed helplessly, "How would I know his name?"

Gu Jiao glanced at her, "Aren't you in the same dormitory with them?"

Su Xue muttered, "But I don't live in the academy's dormitory."

This was the truth. Her family lived in the inner city, so why would she forsake her luxurious mansion to stay in a dormitory? She'd have to be crazy.

As expected of siblings, both her and her brother had the same habit of not staying in the dormitory.

Gu Jiao continued, "You should at least know the woman's name, right?"

Su Xue instantly exploded, "Xiao Liulang! You're too much! How dare you ask me about another woman's name! Have you taken a liking to her too?"

"What are you thinking? I don't even know her." Gu Jiao was completely baffled. Was Su Xue's thinking really this erratic? Just how did her mind leap to such a conclusion? How could she have taken a liking to a stranger, and a woman at that?

Su Xue huffed, "Then why are you asking about her! Oh, I get it, you’ve also heard about her beauty and, like those scoundrels, want to impress her? I'm telling you, there's no hope! Even those n.o.ble young masters couldn't receive a single glance from her, so you... just forget it!"

What kind of nonsense was this?

Gu Jiao said calmly, "I'm looking for her because I have a grudge."

"Really?" Su Xue's eyes lit up, and her expression changed in an instant. "What kind of grudge?"

Thinking of the mistreated Little Jing Kong, Gu Jiao's eyes flashed with anger, and she coldly said, "A grudge that cannot be reconciled!"

In a certain dormitory at Linglong Pavilion of Canglan Women's Academy, someone sneezed three times in a row!

Su Xue cheerfully said, "Then I'll take you to find her!"

Gu Jiao got into Su Xue's carriage.

Seeing his young lady bringing a strange man onto the carriage, Su Xue's coachman couldn't help but softly remind her, "Young miss, this isn't proper. Men and women shouldn't be so close. If Master and Madame find out, they'll punish you."

Su Xue snorted coldly, "If you don't say anything and I don't say anything, how will they know? Or are you planning to betray me and secretly tattle on me to my parents? I’m warning you! If you backstab me, I'll make sure you can't stay in the Su Residence!"

The coachman quickly responded, "This servant wouldn't dare, wouldn't dare. Young miss, rest a.s.sured, I will keep my mouth shut."

"That's more like it." Su Xue, somewhat satisfied, raised an eyebrow. She looked at the tightly closed carriage curtain, smiled knowingly, and lifted her skirt to get into the carriage.

She sat down on the bench next to Gu Jiao. She was wearing a pink and white cinched-waist silk dress, her figure light and graceful, with a slender waist that could be easily encircled. Though she wore a veil, her bright and expressive eyes sparkled, revealing her exceptional beauty.

Considering Mu Qingchen's appearance, it wasn't hard to guess that Su Xue would also be quite attractive.

However, Gu Jiao wasn't actually a man and wasn't tempted by Su Xue's beauty.

Her gaze was clear and showed no sign of impropriety, making Su Xue's face turn even redder.

He truly was a rare gentleman. Even when sharing the same s.p.a.ce with her, he did not have the slightest inappropriate thought.

The carriage traveled along the wide, bustling street, with a constant stream of pedestrians and the sounds of vendors intertwining, creating a lively scene in Shengdu.

"Young Miss Su, can we go a bit faster?" Gu Jiao asked.

If they moved too slowly, it would get dark soon, and she feared they wouldn't make it out of the inner city in time.

Su Xue wished they could go slower, but since Xiao Liulang requested it, she had to comply, "Oh. Ah Fu, go faster."

"Yes, Young miss!"

Ah Fu, the coachman, gave the horse a whip, and it immediately picked up speed.

Su Xue's face darkened. She had asked him to go faster, but not this much faster! She would definitely dock his pay when they got back!

Canglan Women's Academy was located in the southeastern part of Shengdu's inner city, one of the four prime areas of the inner city. It was the only women's academy in Shengdu.

This didn’t mean that there were no other schools for girls elsewhere, but most of them were small private schools with a separate cla.s.s for girls.

In previous visits, she either hid under the carriage or inside it, or was being watched by someone, so she never got a proper look at the inner city's customs and scenery. Today, thanks to Su Xue, she lifted the curtain and took in the sights to her heart's content.

The outer city was already bustling, but the inner city was even more so.

Seeing Gu Jiao constantly looking outside, Su Xue thought she was anxious about the time and said, "We're almost there. We'll take a shortcut, going around through the back gate of the Duke Estate. We'll be there in less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea. By the way, what kind of deep-seated grudge do you have with my roommate?"

Gu Jiao couldn't say that her roommate had mistreated her Jing Kong, so she simply replied, "It's a long story."

"Fine, if you don't want to tell, you don't have to." Su Xue didn't press further. After all, she could see that Gu Jiao genuinely wanted to deal with the new beauty, unlike those frivolous men outside who made various excuses to ogle her.

I believe you!" She said with a smile.

Gu Jiao was puzzled by this sudden expression of trust.

What did Su Xue believe in?

After the carriage traveled a bit further, it suddenly stopped.

Su Xue frowned and, through the curtain, irritably asked, "What's the matter? Who told you to stop?"

"Young miss..." The coachman's voice sounded off.

Su Xue lifted the curtain and exclaimed in surprise, "Father!"

Coming towards them was a carriage from the Su Residence, stopping almost simultaneously with Su Xue's carriage. The person inside lifted the curtain, revealing the stern and dignified face of a middle-aged man.

It was Su Xue and Mu Qingchen's father, Su Yuan, also known as Rong Chuan.

His sharp gaze swept over the guilty-looking coachman and then to Su Xue. Su Xue's heart skipped a beat. She hurriedly stepped out of the carriage, carefully pulling the curtain tight behind her. Standing on the outer carriage floor, she said to Su Yuan, "Father, what a coincidence! Weren't you taking fourth brother out of the city for some business? How come you're back so soon? Is fourth brother with you? Is he in your carriage?"

Su Yuan didn't answer Su Xue's question, nor did he need to. If Mu Qingchen were in the carriage, he would've already come out to help Su Xue out of her awkward situation..

Su Yuan's gaze was fixed intently on the curtain behind Su Xue.

Su Xue subtly shifted, trying to use her body to block the curtain from view.

This was a cla.s.sic case of "there's no silver buried here."

"Who is it?" Su Yuan asked in a deep voice.

PLEASE CHECK OUT OUR NEW PROJECT:

Description:

In the suspenseful supernatural novel “Records of Mortals,” Jiang Baiyan, once a solitary and impoverished youth, finds refuge in the Shi family of Chang’an due to his extraordinary bloodline. With his clear and captivating peach blossom eyes, this seemingly innocent young man conceals a fanatical and malevolent lunatic within. Destined to succ.u.mb to darkness amidst hardship and degradation, he becomes a harbinger of chaos.

When Shi Dai suddenly transmigrates, she takes on the role of the Shi family’s young lady, the one who subjects him to countless trials, eventually leading to her demise.

The twist? She never got to finish reading the novel.

From what she knew of the plot, Jiang Baiyan was just a silent, timid, and often bullied pitiable character.

***

Jiang Baiyan had never encountered someone like Shi Dai.

After he had slaughtered all the evil creatures in the garden, the blood-stained young man, exuding a murderous aura, approached her step by step, his lips curling into a malicious smile, "Scared?"

Shi Dai responded, “You’re really amazing! I applaud you until I spin like a spiral and fly around the moon three hundred times! And also——you have dimples when you smile!"

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

—

After seeing her at a lantern festival with another man, Jiang Baiyan lowered his eyes, his fingers twirling her hair. He said in a mocking and sinister tone, "The mansion in the western suburbs...if I hide you there, no one will find you, right?"

Shi Dai replied, "Does it come with meals and lodging? Can I sleep in everyday? Oh, and your cooking is the best!"

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

—

Jiang Baiyan was supposed to dislike her, even hate her, but as their separation drew near, his eyes turned red and he grabbed her sleeve, pleading, "Don't abandon me, alri—”

Shi Dai responded, "Alright, alright, I’ll only have you. Mwah."

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

He hasn't finished his lines yet though…
