Chapter 1947: Two Incompatible Women

“Hello, Senior Lus!”

Chu Lingxi greeted them politely, and Lu Xueman and Hu Yaoyao also returned her smile, but when they looked at each other, their expressions immediately darkened.

These two women seemed to be naturally incompatible, each disliking the other.

“Alright, Senior Lus, let’s go in.”

Chu Lingxi understood their tempers and stepped forward to mediate. The three of them walked into the academy together.

After walking for a distance, Lu Xueman frowned slightly, “Why do I feel like something is off today?”

In the past, let alone the top three beauties of their entire academy walking together, even if she walked by herself, it would attract countless gazes, and some bold students would even approach her to strike up a conversation.

But for some reason today, the students in the academy, upon seeing the three of them, were all dodging and avoiding, as if afraid of getting into trouble.

Those who were farther away kept pointing and discussing, talking about something incessantly.

Chu Lingxi said, “What’s wrong, Senior Lu? What’s off?”

She wasn't as observant and meticulous as Lu Xueman and hadn't noticed anything different; she just felt that the academy was still the same academy, with no changes.

Lu Xueman said, “Have you noticed that everyone in the academy is keeping their distance from us today? It feels so strange.”

“It does seem a little bit like that,” Chu Lingxi said. “But what’s wrong with that? After all, everyone knows that Senior Lu is taken now, so it’s normal for the previous enthusiasm to be gone.”

Lu Xueman thought of that man, her cheeks flushed, and her heart was immediately filled with a strong sense of happiness.

Although she still felt vaguely that something was off, she didn't pay much attention to it, as it wasn't a big deal.

Hu Yaoyao snorted, “What’s there to be proud of? If they’re not looking at you, it’s because you’re not as pretty as me.”

“Are you pretty? But they’re not looking at you either!”

Lu Xueman was usually magnanimous towards others, but with Hu Yaoyao, they were always at loggerheads.

“You…”

Hu Yaoyao snorted, “That’s because you’re here. No matter what, I’m just prettier than you.”

Lu Xueman said, seemingly indifferently, “Xiao Fan is my man.”

These simple words seemed to have no destructive power, but for Hu Yaoyao, they were definitely a critical hit.

The meaning in her words was already very clear.

If you’re so pretty, why didn’t Ye Bufan choose you?

Hu Yaoyao immediately bristled like a ruffled chick: “That’s because Xiao Age didn’t meet me first, otherwise he would definitely have chosen me!”

Lu Xueman remained calm: “Presumptuous!”

“Who are you calling presumptuous?” Hu Yaoyao retorted angrily, “If you don’t believe me, let’s go find Xiao Age right now and ask him clearly!”

Lu Xueman didn’t back down: “Ask then, who’s afraid of whom?!”

“Let’s go, we’ll go find Xiao Age right now. Today, we must clarify who is truly pretty!”

Hu Yaoyao and Lu Xueman, full of Aura, walked towards the Inner Courtyard. Chu Lingxi, behind them, couldn't help but shake her head and sigh, thinking that Junior Brother Ye was in for it this time.

Amidst their argument, the three of them couldn't help but quicken their pace, and soon they stepped onto the small island where the Inner Courtyard was located.

But when they clearly saw the scene before their eyes, all three of them frowned in unison.

The small courtyard where Ye Bufan had previously lived was now a scene of ruins, and behind the house, there was a huge hole.

“What’s going on? What happened?”

The three figures flashed and entered the small courtyard, arriving at the room where Ye Bufan lived.

They found that the previously tidy room was now a mess, but not a single person was to be seen.

“Something must have happened to Xiao Age.”

Hu Yaoyao’s figure flashed, and she appeared outside the courtyard, reaching out and grabbing a passing student.

The student looked nervous and stammered, “Se-…Senior, what do you want to do?”

Hu Yaoyao asked, “Tell me, what exactly happened here? Where did Xiao Age go?”

Lu Xueman also walked over and asked with a serious expression, “Speak quickly, what exactly happened here?”

Facing the three women, the student became even more nervous.

“I… I don’t know, I really don’t know anything!”

After repeated questioning, the student just insisted he didn't know, and the three women, Lu Xueman, had no choice but to let him go.

They then asked several more people, but still learned nothing.

Just as they were at a loss, a person suddenly walked over in a hurry; it was Jiang Fangzhou.

“Three Senior Lus, you’re finally back…”

Upon seeing the three of them, Jiang Fangzhou immediately felt as if he had seen family, and halfway through his sentence, he burst into tears.

As the saying goes, a man does not easily shed tears. Seeing him like this, the three of them had an even worse premonition.

Lu Xueman said, “Don’t cry yet, quickly tell us what happened? Where’s Xiao Fan? What happened to him?”

“Ye Dage, he might be dead…”

Jiang Fangzhou had rushed over last night after hearing the news, but he was a step late and didn't see what happened. He only saw Ye Bufan being chased and fleeing the academy.

He also followed closely behind, but unfortunately, his cultivation was too low, and he didn't even see a single shadow.

Even so, he was still worried and searched everywhere outside the city until dawn but found nothing.

He knew that his own ability was definitely not enough and that he had to find someone to help, so he rushed back in a hurry and happened to find Lu Xueman and the other two.

Although he didn't see the final outcome last night, Shi Wance was a Body Integration Middle Stage expert, and according to his guess, something bad must have happened.

“You’re talking nonsense, Xiao Age won’t die.”

Hu Yaoyao had lost all her usual charm, her eyes bloodshot, and she grabbed his collar: “Tell me quickly, what exactly happened? Who did this?”

Although Jiang Fangzhou hadn't been able to reach the scene yesterday, the people around him were all discussing the matter, and he had heard most of it.

So he recounted everything he knew from beginning to end. When he spoke of Ye Bufan being caught in the act of plundering Chen Youyou, Hu Yaoyao immediately flew into a rage.

“Nonsense! If Xiao Age had been interested in Chen Youyou, he would have acted in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range. He could have done whatever he wanted there without any consequences, so why would he wait until here?

Besides, he hasn’t even touched me yet, so how could he possibly be interested in that undeveloped little girl?”

Lu Xueman, surprisingly, didn’t argue with her this time and followed up by saying, “That’s right, Xiao Fan isn’t that kind of person.”

Jiang Fangzhou said, “I know too, someone must have framed Ye Dage!”

Chu Lingxi asked, “What happened then? What happened to Ye Dage?”

Jiang Fangzhou then recounted how Ye Bufan was expelled from the academy and pursued by Shi Wance.

At the end, he started crying again: “That bastard Shi is a Body Integration Middle Stage expert. I think Ye Dage is probably in grave danger!”

“What?! Which bastard dares to touch my man?!”

As her voice fell, Nalan Yujia’s figure descended from the sky.
