(Unedited)

…

The next day…

Xin Ja walked out of his room and found a beautiful figure leaning on the wall with a big pout on her face. Although she is wearing her usual mask, Xin Ja could tell that she looks bored.

"Good morning!…" Xin Ja greeted Qiang Yan with a nod.

"Hey, it's already afternoon… why are you awake so late?" she complains while walking towards Xin Ja.

"Ugh… Miss Qiang… is there something that you need?" Xin Ja awkwardly asked.

Then suddenly she lowered her mask and showed a faint smile.

"Hihi… I'm bored… You have to accompany me, now…" she demanded.

Xin Ja was a bit taken aback at the audacity of the woman, but he could not deny the fact that he feels a bit elated if he could go out with the beautiful idol which he admires.

"Umm… Alright, but I have to meet with my friend today… So…"

"Friend? A male friend or… a female friend?" Qian Yan squinted while looking at Xin Ja.

"Ugh… Female friend?" Xin Ja replied hesitatingly.

"Oh… Are you going on a date?" Qian Yan teases.

"*sigh… It is not a date… I visited the city so I have to see her before leaving…" Xin Ja explained but felt a bit annoyed as he did not expect that he should explain himself to the woman.

"Oh, alright… That would do… I'm coming then." Qian Yan shamelessly said.

"You…" Xin Ja was flabbergasted upon hearing her words that he did not know what to say anymore.

"Look, I'm just too bored and don't want to stay in my room for the whole day waiting for my next schedule… So instead of waiting why not go with you… Plus out of all the people I've met, I think you are trustworthy…" she confidently tapped Xin Ja's shoulder.

"How did you know that I am trustworthy? What if I have a hidden motive?" Xin Ja looks at her in the eye and showed a sly smile.

"Hahaha… You boy is not a good actor. Let's just say that I call this my woman's instinct… Hihi…" she chuckled.

Xin Ja felt helpless and just nodded his head.

And so the two walked down and flagged and carriage and soon arrive in a manor.

When the two alighted from the carriage, they saw an old insignia by the manor's gate.

"The Qiang manor… Hmm… It rhymes with my surname… Hihi…" Qian Yan chuckled.

Xin Ja knocked and a manservant greeted him.

"Hello, is Qiang Yaoyao at home?" he asked.

The servant looks at the young man and young woman before him and showed a suspicious look on his gaze.

"What do you want with the mistress?…" although he is suspicious he still showed a calm expression.

"Hmm… You must be new? I'm Qiang Yaoyao's friend…" Xin Ja said with a smile.

The manservant frowned then looks around then shook his head.

"I don't know who you are, so…" but before the manservant could close the door another one walks near.

"Who is it?"

"Nothing, just some stranger…" the manservant's eyes became shifty.

Suddenly, that servant walks towards the door and before it could close he stopped it. Then he suddenly kicks that manservant to the side.

"You dare…" he growled while glaring at the servant who was sprawled on the ground.

"You dare kick me?! I will tell this to the madam!" that manservant on the ground shouting.

The new servant just sneered then opens the door.

When he saw Xin Ja a big smile was immediately plastered on his face.

"Young Master Xin… It's been a while… the young miss is currently at the Green Gate Academy would you like to wait for her inside?" the servant respectfully asked.

"Oh, I see… Well… What is happening?" Xin Ja walked closer and asked in a low voice.

"Ah, that… That servant is the madam's servant… Someone of status is wooing the young miss, so that guy asked the madam to prevent any other guys to be near the young miss…" that servant explained.

"Ohh… I guess it is a jealous type this time…" Xin Ja nodded in understanding.

"Well, anyway… Thank you… We'll just go to the academy and see her there…" Xin Ja said while waving his hand.

"Alright, take good care young master Xin…" the servant also waved his hand.

When Xin Ja and Qian Yan are already gone, the servant heaves a deep sigh.

"Young Master Xin is a good choice for the young miss… I wonder why they just considered themselves as friends?" he muttered.

Suddenly he almost jumps out of fright as someone tapped his shoulder.

"Ma… Madam…" he stuttered.

"So… that shameless guy is here again looking for my daughter? And you… you even kicked my servant? How brave of you…" Madam Qiang glared at the servant.

"Hehe… Madam, I'm just following the clan head's command. If you wanted to, you can at the clan head…" the servant suddenly scuttled away running inside the manor.

Madam Qiang was immediately angered by the escaping servant that she immediately followed. But since the servant is fast, she could not help but curse him.

But then she showed a sly smile on her face.

"Hmm… So that young master Xin fellow is not wooing my daughter. Well, that's good… At least young master Tee still has a chance…" she muttered as a smile bloomed on her face while walking back to her courtyard.

Meanwhile, Xin Ja and Qian Yan have already reached the academy. While waiting in the lobby, Xin Ja decided to help Qian Yan.

"You've been hiding behind that mask… Let me help you change your appearance…" he suggested as he takes out a necklace.

"Just wear this and your face will change a little bit…" he handed it to Qing Yan.

Qian Yan frowns but accepted the necklace. After wearing it, she took out a mirror from her Mule.

Then she saw her face changing a bit after she removed the mask covering her face.

She completely removes her mask and then showed a faint smile.

"Will this thing be dispelled?" she asked.

"Yes, just tap it and cut the Ki flow inside the pendant… To make it work, just apply Ki flow inside…" Xin Ja explained.

"Wow, this is really great… Can I keep it?" she asked.

Xin Ja just shook his head and helplessly agreed. He knew that he could not win an argument with the woman.

And so, with her new face, the two decided to stroll around the academy.

"I remember my days at the academy…" Xin Ja suddenly said as he seemed to recall Ogden academy.

"Yeah, me too… But the capital is filled with crouching tigers and hidden dragons… I always have to tread lightly…" Qian Yan complained.

"Really… Then…"

"It was my family… Because of the Qian clan's influence, our family members are protected from any bullying…" Qian Yan answered.

"You have a nice family…"

"Che… I hated the bickering of those old women in the clan… That's why I decided to be independent…" a scoffing expression could be seen on her face.

"Did you sever your connection with them?"

"Umm… Not really, but I have obtained a promise letter, that I am not to be involved in the clan matters. Even my marriage is my own choosing… Hihi…" she proudly said.

Soon while walking, the two reached the side where there is a play happening and many students are participating.

The two walked to the side and watches the student performs.

"This brings back memories… Most academies do not have this kind of class… But the schools in the capital have… I secretly learned how to act through watching them…" Qian Yan showed melancholy in her eyes.

Xin Ja and Qian Yan watches the play of the student until it was done.

He noticed that Qian Yan has tears in her eyes.

"Are you okay?"

"Umm… I was just touched by their acting…" she muttered.

Xin Ja did not say anything. As he was about to turn around, he noticed a figure walking towards them.

Qiang Yaoyao is as beautiful as the first time he saw her in that alchemy factory. But it seems that she has matured already and her body has the right curves.

"It's been a while!" Qiang Yaoyao greeted as she excitedly hugged Xin Ja.

"Why did you not inform me ahead of time?… I should have taken a leave of absence today…" Qiang Yaoyao pouted cutely.

She suddenly shifted her gaze at the woman beside Xin Ja. She could vaguely discern the woman's beauty for her beautiful body is the one that is making her gain attention.

Most of the students who are walking out of the amphitheater would steal glances at her.

"Finally… a girlfriend?" Qiang Yaoyao teases.

Xin Ja showed a faint smile.

"Qiang Yaoyao, this is my friend Miss Qian… Miss Qian, Qiang Yaoyao…" he introduced both ladies.

While this is happening some males have envious gazes thrown at Xin Ja for having two beauties with him.

Qiang Yaoyao is considered one of the most beautiful teachers in the academy, while the woman beside the guy is also a beauty. So how could some of the people not feel envious?

Suddenly, a group of people approached the three.
