My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 1995: How Strange

Got into a prestigious school through her own efforts, she’s low-key and gentle, unlike those arrogant, haughty sons and daughters of wealthy and influential families in the class. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Jun Yiyi found it strange that although these gentry were very conceited, they still valued their studies highly. After all, this is a high-tech era, and without knowledge, there’s no future. In the education-focused Aus Empire, being lax in academics is deeply despised.

It’s surprising that so many left the capital for a vacation and failed to return.

Strange indeed.

Something doesn’t feel right.

"Hey, you’re still here? Isn’t your foster father the Queen’s most cherished lieutenant, Governor Yun? How come you were left behind here? Poor thing, it seems a foster daughter is just a foster daughter, and simply isn’t valued." A mocking voice taunted beside her.

Jun Yiyi turned her head, only to see a few fashionably dressed, high-end girls standing arrogantly before her. Leading them was a girl named Yin Qi, who crossed her arms with a delicate and prideful face full of disdain and contempt. She looked down on Jun Yiyi with a slanted gaze and a smug smile.

Lina saw them and her face turned pale. She looked at Jun Yiyi worriedly.

Jun Yiyi glanced at Yin Qi, lowered her head, and didn’t speak. She merely gathered her textbooks calmly, preparing to go for lunch.

Being low-key is her principle. Besides, she’s really too lazy to deal with these boring little kids who have nothing better to do than gang up at school.

So, usually, she’s too lazy to speak, and once these girls are done flaunting, they’ll leave satisfied on their own.

The school is just a mini-society where all the complex and tense interpersonal relationships of this country extend into the school.

Even students who prioritize academics are split into factions. The class is divided into two factions, which she privately dubs the Traitor Faction and the Old Woman Faction. The Traitor Faction consists of Yin Qi and others who politically lean towards supporting Grand Councilman Helian, while the other faction’s families support the Queen, forming the Old Woman Faction.

Honestly, she has no interest in these factions, but almost everyone in the class must clearly take a stance, pledging allegiance to one side.

Her foster father, Governor Yun, is of the Queen’s faction. However, Jun Yiyi isn’t optimistic about the Queen, but she also has no interest in the Grand Councilman. Whichever faction wins in the end, what’s it got to do with her?

Therefore, she hasn’t joined any faction, resulting in both factions disliking her, often giving her dirty looks and isolating her.

Thankfully, Jun Yiyi is strong-hearted, used to being alone, and simply doesn’t care.

"Why aren’t you speaking? Looks like you too know you’ve been abandoned, not daring to voice up." Yin Qi giggled, seeing her silence, thinking she’s intimidated, became even prouder, hands on her hips, smirked sinisterly, "Don’t think you can remain neutral by not siding with Zhou Like’s faction. With Zhou Like and others gone, life is boring now. You’re the only enemy left for us. In the future, you’re doomed!"

Jun Yiyi abruptly raised her head, astonishedly looking at Yin Qi.

It wasn’t the woman’s arrogant threat but the phrase ’they’ve gone’ in her speech that puzzled her. What does this mean?

Zhou Like is the core figure of the faction opposing Yin Qi’s. Her father is the Minister of Finance and a significant figure in the Royalist faction. Zhou Like has excellent academic performance, qualified for the entrance exams for the Empire Academy as a promising student. She personally seems determined to get in.

Her family is permanently resident in the capital. Why would she suddenly leave?

"You said Zhou Like and others have left. What do you mean? They won’t be coming back?" She anxiously inquired.
