And since the Blood Clan favors beauty and elegance, even their food must meet this standard.
Therefore, they need to learn all sorts of etiquette until they can serve the Blood Clan during meals, only then will they be taken to meet the Blood Clan.
They will either become a personal pet of a member of the Blood Clan or… become a source of blood, to be fed upon by various members of the Clan.
Su Li’s legs shook with fear, and if it weren’t for her dread of being left alone and eaten by some Blood Clan that might suddenly appear, she would have stopped walking long ago.
“Ahead is the classroom,” the blond woman pointed to the end of the hallway at the ancient castle, “Over there…”
“Elder Jian.”
A Blood Clan came over from another corridor.
“Elder Filite beckons you.”
The face of the blond woman changed slightly.
Filite… Aier’s uncle, and an honorary Elder of Avigust.
His calling her now must certainly be regarding Aier.
“You all go back the way we came, I’ll return shortly,” Jian instructed as she turned to Chuzheng, “If anyone asks, say that I ordered you to go back, no one will trouble you.”
Chuzheng asked carelessly, “Do you know what to say?”
“…Yes,” Jian replied quietly.
The matter concerning Aier absolutely cannot be exposed, otherwise, she too would be implicated.
Jian followed the Blood Clan away, and Su Li suddenly collapsed to the ground, “Am I… am I dreaming!”
Chuzheng pinched her arm.
“Ah!”
With a cry of pain, Su Li’s eyes grew wide, “Why did you pinch me?”
Chuzheng asked with an expressionless face, “Does it hurt?”
Embracing her arm, Su Li replied, “Of course it hurts!”
Chuzheng concluded, “Then, it’s not a dream.”
Su Li: “…”
Two crystal clear tears hung in the corners of Su Li’s eyes, not yet fallen, as she squatted down like a picture-perfect Mushroom, appearing exceptionally cute.
She suddenly looked around and whispered a suggestion, “Should we run away?”
There’s no one around here!
They hadn’t seen anyone on their way here.
“Do you see that over there?” Chuzheng motioned for Su Li to look into the distance.
In the distance was the sea, stretching as far as the eye could see.
“You can run if you can fly,” this place wasn’t on land but on a sea island, an island that didn’t even exist on maps.
Where could they run to?
Even if they could get out, could they leave this place?
Embracing herself in disappointment, Su Li lamented, “Am I really going to die here?”
–
While Su Li was feeling sorrowful, Chuzheng suddenly moved aside. Seeing Su Li still squatting there, she turned back, grabbed her, and dragged her into hiding.
Su Li intuitively wanted to cry out but was promptly silenced by Chuzheng.
Footsteps could be heard coming closer.
Su Li instantly held her breath.
“My lord, Prince Karlo is about to hold a grand ceremony, and everyone outside is busy. Why are we coming here at this time?”
A woman was leading the way, her curvaceous body wrapped in a blue cheongsam that revealed a tantalizing glimpse of her long legs as she walked, very eye-catching.
“The prince has sent me on an errand,” the woman responded.
The person trailing behind her immediately fell silent.
Now this woman was a favorite at Prince Karlo’s side… they could not afford to offend her.
This woman was none other than Xia Ci.
“Xiao Ru, I heard you received an invitation to go there too!”
“No… it’s my master who said he would take me.”
“My, Xiao Ru, you’re so lucky…”
“I’m so envious of Xiao Ru.”
“Indeed, Xiao Ru, when you go, you must tell us all about it afterward, we also want to broaden our horizons.”
“There will surely be many Blood Clan nobles there…”
Not far away, a group of girls was escorting another girl up the staircase.
These girls seemed different from the others inhabiting the castle.
They looked happy and showed no discontent with their surroundings.
At this moment, Chuzheng was sandwiched between these two groups of people in the hallway, with its various corners ensuring she wouldn’t be discovered—not that…
Guan Xiaoru and Xia Ci had both emerged.
If she didn’t take them out, wouldn’t it be a disservice to them?
The two groups quickly approached the intersection.
Xia Ci merely glanced at Guan Xiaoru and her group without any intention of stopping.
Guan Xiaoru and the others did not seem to want to give way or salute either.
Each party went their own way.
Chuzheng’s wrist twisted, and Yin Xian fell from her wrist, crossing in the middle.
In the time it took to say it, just as the two were about to pass each other, Xia Ci suddenly leaned forward, bumping into Guan Xiaoru.
Guan Xiaoru cried out in surprise as she toppled backward.
“Elder Xia Ci!”
“Xiao Ru!”
“Ah, ah, ah…”
“Help!”
The corridor immediately erupted into a cacophony of shrieks and howls.
Chuzheng retracted her Yin Xian and, with her arms crossed, watched the group tumble down.
Su Li: “??” What just happened?
–
Xia Ci was not known for her physical strength, and Guan Xiaoru and her companions were far from being fighters.
It was only on the flat ground below that they finally stopped.
Xia Ci was helped up by the pursuing Blood Clan, her hair a mess and her entire being severely dazed.
Guan Xiaoru lay on the ground, apparently stunned by the fall.
“Xiao Ru, Xiao Ru, are you alright?”
“Xiao Ru.”
Guan Xiaoru was clumsily helped to her feet by several people.
Once Guan Xiaoru was on her feet, she immediately touched her face to make sure it was unharmed and then breathed a sigh of relief before furiously glaring at Xia Ci: “Why did you push me? What have I done to you?”
Having made such a fool of herself, naturally, Xia Ci was also in a foul mood.
“How dare you!”
A member of the Blood Clan immediately rebuked sharply.
The voice scared Guan Xiaoru, making her shiver.
Xia Ci straightened herself out and looked at Guan Xiaoru: “I didn’t push you.”
She didn’t know what she had stepped on, but suddenly her feet slipped from under her.
She lost control of her body and collided with Guan Xiaoru.
“I saw it with my own eyes and you’re still arguing?” Guan Xiaoru’s face flushed with anger: “Apologize to me!”
A Blood Clan member behind Xia Ci stepped forward: “This is Elder Xia Ci…”
“I don’t care who you are, you bumped into me, and you have to apologize. Don’t think I’m easy to bully!” Guan Xiaoru was emboldened by her Blood Clan backing and was not afraid.
“Xiao Ru,” the person beside Guan Xiaoru tried to pull her back.
“What are you doing? She bumped into someone and she’s in the right now?”
“It’s not that Xiao Ru…” The person grew anxious: “That’s Xia Ci, it’s Xia Ci!”
“What Xia…” Guan Xiaoru seemed to realize something, her expression changing subtly.
Xia Ci, the former favorite of Her Royal Highness the Queen.
She was human.
And she had come from Avigust.
But not long ago, Her Royal Highness the Queen had left a secret decree abdicating her throne and disappeared; since then, Xia Ci had followed Prince Karlo and was now enjoying a meteoric rise in status. However, she was, after all, only a human.
Guan Xiaoru had heard her elders speak of all these matters…
–
Half an hour later.
Guan Xiaoru made a big fuss about the incident, and Jian, who was called to inquire about it, as well as some high ranking individuals from the academy, were all brought into action.
The corridor was densely packed with onlookers.
Xia Ci was not only the former favorite of the Queen but was now also a trusted confidante of Prince Karlo.
But Guan Xiaoru was also close to the prince and was currently favored.
As the saying goes, the favored fear nothing.
How could she let the matter rest.
Chuzheng stood at a higher place, looking down at the farce below.
Two Little Beauties should love and cherish each other.
How wonderful.
Su Li hugged the pillar in the corridor, shivering with fear.
Why did she find her roommate somewhat terrifying?
Although she didn’t know exactly where the terror was…
“Are they both human?”
Su Li overheard the conversations in the crowd, her gossip-loving nature making her forget her fear.
“Hmm.”
“How dare they make such a fuss?”
