Chapter 211: Chapter 176: If I Say This is a Misunderstanding, Would You Believe Me?
The people inside the Four Seasons Hall were gradually increasing in number.
The Residence Students arrived one after another, leaving their umbrellas at the door and stepping into the hall.
Some of the Fu Yao Mansion students who entered from the rear of the Four Seasons Hall noticed two women at the back corner who were attracting attention.
One of the petite women was recognized by all; she was quite famous among the newly arrived students of Fu Yao Mansion, having secured the prestigious thirteenth place in the recent competition on the Qingyun Platform. Considering that there were many Fu Yao Mansion students senior to her, and given that she was a woman, she was especially noticeable.
At that moment, they saw Ye Lanzi, with a coquettish smile, talking to the cool and detached woman beside her. It seemed that only Ye Lanzi was speaking while the beautiful and aloof woman, deeply engrossed in her book, seldom replied and occasionally glanced at Ye Lanzi with her lips pursed in silence.
The cool and detached woman was wearing a white robe from Tranquility Mansion.
This Tranquility Mansion senior sister came to attend the class too?
Some of the newly arrived students from Fu Yao Mansion were slightly surprised.
But many of the older Fu Yao Mansion students recognized the serene woman with a teardrop mole beneath her eye. She was Zhao Lingfei, who usually kept a low profile and rarely showed herself except at important ceremonies within the mansion.
Those in the know were even more astonished, often turning their heads back after taking their seats.
Ye Lanzi was aware that many students from her own mansion were looking in her direction, but she didn’t mind, having grown accustomed to such attention since childhood.
Ye Lanzi noticed that the space around her and Zhao Lingfei was unusually empty, with no one approaching to sit nearby. She nodded lightly to herself and began looking forward to attending the class with Sister Lingfei.
She thought that Sister Lingfei surely knew a lot and might just be coming to relieve her boredom. If there was something she didn’t understand, she could ask her, hee hee, no need to seek the Academy Scholars anymore…
Ye Lanzi’s eyes brightened as she turned to look at Zhao Lingfei.
At that moment, Zhao Lingfei looked up at her again, and their eyes met briefly.
Zhao Lingfei’s expression carried a mix of conflict and hesitation.
Ye Lanzi blinked, finding Sister Lingfei’s “shy” demeanor quite endearing.
She wasn’t foolish and knew that Zhao Lingfei was somewhat “disdainful” of her sitting there. However, Ye Lanzi had no intention of leaving.
She mused to herself, if Sister Lingfei gets this shy just sitting next to another woman, how much more embarrassing must it be for her to sit next to a man…
At that thought, Ye Lanzi suddenly remembered why she had come to find Zhao Lingfei today.
Facing Zhao Lingfei’s gaze, she scrutinized those envy-worthy and elegant autumn-water-like eyes. “Sister Lingfei, look at my memory, I almost forgot what was important.”
“My cousin mentioned last time that she had met an Academy Scholar, do you remember? Back then, the sisters teased her to talk to that Scholar and organize a literary gathering. We all mentioned it in passing, never expecting my cousin Ruoxi and that Scholar named Li to take it seriously and start planning. Hee hee, I suspect there’s a bit of an affair between Cousin Ruoxi and that man.”
Ye Lanzi beamed at Zhao Lingfei and said:
“My cousin said that Tranquility Mansion doesn’t interact much with the Scholars from Linlu Academy, unlike Taiyi and Fu Yao Mansion; this provides a rare opportunity to get acquainted. Moreover, with the Mid-Autumn Festival approaching and some major ceremonies being prepared in Taiching Prefecture, we can liven things up by organizing a poetry and literary gathering and invite more people over.”
Ye Lanzi paused, then continued, “The location hasn’t been decided yet, but it should be soon. Many Tranquility Mansion brothers and sisters will attend, and there may also be guests from other mansions. That Scholar from the Academy will bring quite a few Junior Brothers too… So, Sister Lingfei, my cousin asked me to see if you’d like to come and join in the fun. Ah, and of course, the gathering won’t interfere with your cultivation.”
Zhao Lingfei listened for a bit and roughly understood what was going on, appearing a little distracted and glancing towards the entrance of Four Seasons Hall from time to time. Upon hearing Ye Lanzi’s statement, she caught Ye Lanzi’s expectant look and was about to decline the invitation, as she always did, but Ye Lanzi seemed to have remembered something else and spoke up again.
“Oh, right, that Academy Scholar’s name is Li Jinsu, and he happens to be a direct disciple of Teacher Yan. Hehe, maybe we’ll bump into him here in the Four Seasons Hall.”
Zhao Lingfei’s gaze flickered, her eyes fixed on the book on the table, which still contained annotations and notes carefully added by someone the other day. She squinted and said, “I got it, I’ll see when the time comes. Please thank Sister Ye for the invitation.”
Ye Lanzi didn’t dwell on it, her message having been delivered and her task completed. She chuckled and prepared to consult Zhao Lingfei on some cultivation matters, as she was recently trying to break through a bottleneck in reaching the Fu Yao Realm.
But at that moment, Zhao Lingfei suddenly said, “Junior Sister, that… I’m sorry, today, well, I actually have plans to attend class with someone… you… you…”
Ye Lanzi was taken aback, noticing Zhao Lingfei’s apologetic look and quickly understanding, “Oh oh, I see, no problem, no problem at all. I didn’t know earlier… Sorry, Sister Lingfei.”

She quickly got up, freeing up the seat closest to Zhao Lingfei.
“Thank you, Junior Sister.”
“It’s nothing, Sister.”
Ye Lanzi glanced around and walked toward another nearby seat to settle down, feeling slightly curious about whom Sister Lingfei had invited…
Just then.
At the Linlu entrance to the back of the Four Seasons Hall, two male figures appeared, dressed in the robes of Academy students.
