Chapter 968: Someone as Smart as Me Was Born Only Once Every Millennium!
When Shopkeeper Qi heard Yun Chujiu’s words, his impression of Yun Chujiu immediately improved. He originally thought that this little girl had caused a mess, but now it seemed like the unreasonable Yin Sulian was the one who instigated things. She was too arrogant.
Yun Chujiu glanced at Shopkeeper Qi and silently praised herself in her heart for being able to show off, ‘Someone as smart as me was born only once every millennium!’
“Shopkeeper Qi, why aren’t you moving?! I must kill this Yun Chujiu today!” Yin Sulian heard Yun Chujiu’s words but when she saw Shopkeeper Qi’s expression, she felt a little regretful. However, she gritted her teeth. Since she had already come this far, it was nothing if a servant of the Hall of Longevity scolded her. What else could he do to me?!
“Second Lady Yin, I once told you that the Ninth Miss is an old friend of the Palace Mistress’s daughter. Are you going to make an enemy out of the Hall of Longevity?”
Yin Sulian snorted coldly. “She’s just an old friend’s daughter. The Palace Mistress dotes on me the most. I don’t believe that she will punish me for over such a good-for-nothing. Get out of my way. I must kill her today.”
Shopkeeper Qi sneered in his heart, ‘Dotes on you the most? You are deluding yourself. With a fool like you, the Palace Mistress would only dote on you if she were blind.’
Shopkeeper Qi was about to continue trying to stop her when a cold voice berated, “Sulian, don’t be rude! Hurry up and apologize to Shopkeeper Qi. Otherwise, I’ll send a message to father, asking you to come back next year to apply for the exam.”
As the voice rang out, a woman in white walked over. Everyone unconsciously made a path for her. Yun Chujiu also looked up and saw that the woman had a beautiful face and a cold temperament. There was an imperceptible cold arrogance between her brows.
“Sister! You don’t know anything! A few days ago, this Yun Chujiu humiliated me at the entrance of Long Wind Inn. Today, she hurt cousin Xuecheng. I really can’t stand it anymore!” When Yin Sulian saw who it was, her eyes reddened and she was so aggrieved that she almost cried.
Everyone began to whisper among themselves. It was the eldest daughter of the Yin family, Yin Xinlian. She was one of the Three Beauties of Tianyuan Academy. Not only was she beautiful, but her spiritual power was superb. She was also proficient in array formations. She was the goddess of many people. Unfortunately, these three sisters were all admirers of His Excellency, it was inevitable that many people would be sad knowing they had no chance.
Yin Xinlian heard Yin Sulian’s words and cast a cold glance at Yun Chujiu. Yun Chujiu could sense the emotions in Yin Xinlian’s eyes. She was jealous. Why would Yin Xinlian be jealous of her?
“Sulian, what is this place? How can you just do as you please? Hurry up and apologize to Shopkeeper Qi!” Yin Xinlian said coldly.
Yin Sulian had been afraid of her sister since she was young. When she heard her words, she said to Shopkeeper Qi unwillingly, “Shopkeeper Qi, I was angry just now and my words were a little rude. Please forgive me.”
Although Shopkeeper Qi was not happy in his heart, she had already lowered herself, so it was naturally not appropriate for him to say anything more, thus, he said, “The Ninth Miss has just arrived, so it is inevitable that she would be a little rash. For the sake of the Palace Mistress, let’s put this matter behind us! What do you think, eldest Miss Yin?”
Yin Xinlian lightly nodded. “Of course. The Palace Mistress is usually generous to us sisters, so we naturally have to give her face. This matter will be put to rest, and no one is allowed to mention it again in the future.”
Shopkeeper Qi thought to himself that the elder Miss Yin was indeed much more sensible than the second Miss Yin. This matter was finally resolved, and it was likely that the Ninth Miss would not be able to enter the Tianyuan Academy either. When the time came, he would be able to hand her over to His Excellency, and he would not have to worry.
