My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 1816: Don’t Fall in Love with Anyone

"Are you trying to matchmake me?" Yiyi wiped the sweat off her forehead.

"If it’s a man like him, he wouldn’t be a bad son-in-law. If you married him, you could leave this country. Although I don’t understand politics, I’ve felt some shifts in political winds over the years, and now there’s war. I’m afraid the domestic situation won’t stay calm, and a big storm might be brewing."

Madam Aisha was also worried. Even though she wasn’t at the political center, she’d lived here for decades and had heard quite a bit about political struggles.

Halian Jing had held the position of Councilman for so long, twenty years in fact, controlling the core power of the entire country. The royal family was displeased with his power plays and the factional forces he’d cultivated. Families supporting the queen also felt their interests were oppressed by the Councilman faction.

On the surface, it had always been calm, but the two factions had been secretly at odds for a long time, waiting to catch the other’s weakness and seize the opportunity to topple them.

And now the Councilman had decided to send troops to Yalan Country, initiating a war, though his intentions were unclear.

But she felt that the atmosphere in the Imperial City recently had changed. The political air was tense and suffocating, with an undercurrent of turmoil, filling her heart with the unease of an impending storm.

Moreover, the Yun Family was also a place of trouble, and she didn’t want this child to become a political pawn for her husband.

"What storm?" Yiyi asked in confusion. She wasn’t interested in politics, but she was staying here to attend the Imperial Institute of Technology. If there were any drastic changes in the Aus Empire, it would greatly affect her.

"I don’t know either, maybe I’m just being too sensitive." Madam Aisha didn’t dare to speak recklessly.

"If there really is a storm, then I can’t leave. Otherwise, who would protect you?" Yiyi was determined not to leave this country.

Madam Aisha was deeply moved: "What a silly child."

"What exactly is Wu Bai’s identity, and why would my adoptive father invite him as a guest?"

Yiyi was very curious about Wu Bai’s identity. When they met on the battlefield, Wu Bai had said he was an instructor exchanged from Yalan Country.

If he were just an ordinary instructor, his position wouldn’t be high, nor would his status be.

Yet Yun Xingbo, the Governor of a city in the Aus Empire, treated him with such respect and even showed ingratiating signs. This was strange; Wu Bai’s background must be extraordinary, otherwise her adoptive father wouldn’t be so warmly welcoming.

What exactly is his identity? It seemed mysterious and eerie. She was really curious.

Madam Aisha shook her head: "I don’t know either. I’ve never seen Xingbo bring this guest home before. But his status must be high, someone with real power. Yiyi, I think if you get a chance, you should interact with him more. Maybe it could lead to a good relationship, and he would definitely be able to protect you."

Yiyi’s heart skipped a beat. Even if she had any feelings, she was planning to leave this world.

So, it was best not to get romantically involved with any man, not to fall in love with anyone.

"Mom, I won’t talk anymore. I need to prepare for review. In a week, there’s the interview for the fourth grade of Stardust High School. The entrance exam was two months ago. Although I have the backing of the Governor’s Mansion and received an extra chance to participate, getting in will depend on my performance during the interview, and I’ve heard it’s very strict."

Because to apply for the Imperial Institute of Technology, you must be in a designated school. In the Aus Empire, this includes two universities, and three high schools.

She wasn’t sure about the difficulty level of the exams here, so she chose to take the test for the fourth year of high school.
