Chapter 21: Magic Essence

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The students of Class Eight spent the next two days in nervous examinations. With the exception of Jiang Xun and a few others, exhaustion was written all over their faces

In the past few days, Class Eight's attitude towards Mo Zhu had changed. They were impressed by how she had dared to go against the old witch Yang Rong. Although Mo Zhu looked like she was not easy to get along with, she was still very friendly to others and it could be seen from her interactions with Meng Ran.

"Why don't we form a team and PK?" The person who spoke was Zhang Qi, who sat in front of Meng Ran. He could play the game very well, and many girls in the class would ask him to play games together.

Everyone's interest was piqued when they heard this. Magic Essence was a very popular competitive game. Basically everyone, no matter men, women, old, or young would be involved in a little of it. And "Essence Soul" was the professional eSports player of Magic Essence. The fans' cheers were the loudest for him, and many Internet-addicted youths saw him as a god.

Everyone took out their phones to discuss the team groupings. The class became extremely lively. There were already five people in Zhang Qi's team, three men and two women. There were only four people in the other team. They started asking around to see who else wanted to join and all the girls shook their heads.

They did not play the game well and did not want to be a burden.

"Sister Meng, do you want to play?" Zhang Qi turned his head and looked at Meng Ran and Mo Zhu. Meng Ran played this game too, and Essence Soul was her idol.

"Alright." Meng Ran thought about it and agreed.

"Sister Mo, do you want to play?" Meng Ran looked at Mo Zhu. She remembered that Mo Zhu played games usually, but she was not sure if she was playing this game.

Mo Zhu shook her head, she flipped open her ancient book and continued reading.

The few of them quickly entered into an intense battle. Meng Ran and the others were not a match for Zhang Qi's team and suffered a crushing defeat.

Meng Ran played a few rounds against Zhang Qi and the rest. They lost more than they won.

"Sister Meng, looks like you can't perform."

"Isn't it just because your equipment is better? Why are you so arrogant?" Meng Ran's baby face was scrunched up, but her game equipment was really not as good as Zhang Qi's.

When Mo Zhu saw Meng Ran like this, she took Meng Ran's phone from her hand.

"Sister Mo, do you want to play?" Meng Ran was stunned for a moment. She quickly passed the phone to Mo Zhu. Coincidentally, she was not in the mood to play anymore, and she went to the toilet.

Meng Ran was considered quite good in her team. And when they saw Meng Ran pass her phone to Mo Zhu, they became even more dejected. They were definitely going to lose this round again.

Just as they were thinking, they heard Zhang Qi cry out in surprise. He saw Meng Ran's hero steal the tower on Zhang Qi's side with just a little of life left. She even went back in time to replenish her health.

The few of them were stunned when they saw how she played. If it was not for Mo Zhu, they would have thought that Meng Ran was cheating while hiding in the toilet.

Was this speed real? It was only then when everyone looked at Mo Zhu's hand. The girl's hand was slender and beautiful like a model.

However, what they were concerned about now was not the girl's hand, but the speed her hands were moving at. It was so fast it left only afterimages on the screen.

Was this hand speed even real?

"D*mn, Sister Mo is amazing."

"Sister Mo has hidden her abilities well!"

"Sister Mo, carry me!"

Zhang Qi and the other boys said.

"Maybe it's because Meng Ran had good equipment. What's there to be proud about winning a round by luck?" Yu Jia, who was standing by the side, had a face full of disdain.

Because of Mo Zhu's incident, Li Lu had been transferred to another class. Only Yu Jia remained in the class and she was also punished for that incident.

Now that Li Lu was no longer around, her days in Class Eight were no longer as comfortable. Previously, due to Li Lu's existence, she had a high position in the class.

As Li Lu was no longer around, the other students have started to neglect her. She became increasingly resentful, feeling that this was all because of Mo Zhu.

Now that she saw how friendly Zhang Qi and the rest were to Mo Zhu, she felt extremely indignant.

"If you think she has the ability, ask her to use her own account to play against you." Yu Jia's eyes were filled with an evil glint.

Jiang Xun looked at Yu Jia with a hint of mockery in his eyes. There were always the kind of people who didn't know their place.

Although Zhang Qi and the rest heard her, they ignored her.

"Oh right, Sister Mo, let's add each other as gaming friends. We can play games together in the future!" Zhang Qi said excitedly.

"Sure." Mo Zhu opened her game interface and handed her phone over.

Zhang Qi took her phone. He had originally wanted to scan the QR code but he had accidentally seen the game configuration on her phone and he was stunned for a long time.

Seeing that he didn't react for a long time, Li Shen looked over curiously and he was speechless too.

"Can someone tell me how many stars there are here?" He had played this game for seven years, but he only had ten stars, okay? And this person had thirty stars! Zhang Qi suspected that Mo Zhu had started playing this game when it was first created.

Chapter 22: Essence Soul

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

When Meng Ran came in, she walked into this silent scene.

She took Mo Zhu's phone from Zhang Qi and paused for a few seconds when she saw the number of stars.

"Sister Mo, do you know the Essence Soul?" Meng Ran looked at Mo Zhu. She had a feeling that Mo Zhu had something to do with Essence Soul.

She had always been suspicious when she watched Mo Zhu play games. Many of her moves were very similar to the Essence Soul and her hand speed was astonishing.

She was a hardcore fan of the Essence Soul. She had watched every match and was very familiar with the techniques of the Essence Soul.

"I don't really know who he is," Mo Zhu replied.

"Essence Soul is a very powerful professional eSports player. He's best at Magic Essence."

When Meng Ran described her idol, her eyes were sparkling. "He has a competition next Monday. Let's go watch it together!" Meng Ran said excitedly.

"But the tickets to Essence Soul's competitions are usually hard to get." Zhang Qi extinguished the light in Meng Ran's eyes cruelly.

Every time Essence Soul's competition was released, the tickets would be sold out after two seconds. It was very difficult for them to get tickets. The fans of the Essence Soul were very scary.

"Oh right!" Meng Ran's eyes dimmed.

"Do you really want to go?" Mo Zhu asked Meng Ran.

"Of course. That's Essence Soul. Who doesn't want to go?" Li Shen answered.

"Yeah, yeah!" the students of Class Eight answered.

During class, Jiang Xun looked at Mo Zhu and asked softly, "Should I get my father to call and ask?"

"It's alright," Mo Zhu replied indifferently.

"Sister Mo, look! The Essence Soul is arriving at Cloud City tonight!" Meng Ran hugged Mo Zhu's arm excitedly. She saw the Essence Soul post a Weibo post. The accompanying picture was his current location and it appeared as Cloud City.

Knowing that her idol was so close to her, Meng Ran was very excited. If she did not have classes now, she would have gone to look for the Essence Soul. She was not interested in the exam paper in her hand.

Mo Zhu did not speak. After a while, she received a message on her phone and she opened it.

"Can we meet?" It was a message from someone whom she had saved as a contact.

"Sure." Mo Zhu saw the message and typed a one word reply lazily.

"Then let's meet at the usual place!" The other party seemed very agitated, as if he was afraid that Mo Zhu would go back on her words.

"Who is it?" When Meng Ran saw that Mo Zhu did not respond to her, she leaned over curiously.

"A friend." Mo Zhu flicked Meng Ran's head. "Someone who gives tickets."

"Huh?" Meng Ran did not hear her last few words clearly. However, Mo Zhu had already put on her earphones and lay down to sleep.

Mo Zhu opened WeChat and sent a message to Huo Xuan, telling him that she would be back later tonight.

"You have something on?" The man replied almost instantly.

"I'm meeting a friend."

"Let Mo Wu send you then." Mo Zhu didn't reject him and didn't reply.

After school, Mo Wu appeared at the school gate. The two of them went straight to the place that Mo Zhu had indicated. After sending her there, Mo Wu stayed in the car and waited for her.

At the entrance of J hall.

When Mo Zhu arrived, a figure was already waiting. Hearing the noise, that person turned his head.

Perhaps it was because he had never been exposed to the sun before, his skin was very fair and his facial features were exquisite.

His entire body was tightly wrapped as well, but one could still see his slender figure.

The man's eyes filled with light when he saw Mo Zhu. "There you are, J-god."

Mo Zhu nodded and said after a while, "I heard that you're competing in Cloud City?"

"Yes, it's next monday, will you come?" He looked at Mo Zhu hopefully.

"Do you have tickets?" Mo Zhu asked.

"Of course. How many do you want? I'll get my manager to give them to you later." When the man heard that Mo Zhu was coming, his voice was filled with excitement.

When Mo Zhu returned, she had a stack of tickets in her hand. Mo Wu did not ask much when he saw it.

However, he felt that the figure that appeared behind Mo Zhu was somewhat familiar, but he could not recall where he had seen him before.

Mo Wu started the car and Mo Zhu kept the tickets.

After Mo Zhu left, the manager, Jiang Kun quickly passed a cap and mask to the man. They had arrived half an hour earlier than Mo Zhu and the man had been waiting patiently.

He had been by the side of the Essence Soul for so long, but this was the first time he saw the Essence Soul so eager to meet someone.

And she was an extremely beautiful girl. Jiang Kun recalled that the Essence Soul had asked him to give her 50 tickets.

"Is she a fan?"

"She is the true god of the eSports world, and also the god in my eyes." The man looked at Jiang Kun seriously.

Jiang Kun was shocked. The god of the Essence Soul? How amazing was that girl?

Jiang Kun helped the man into the car.. They had to leave as soon as possible, or they would be surrounded by fans in no time.

Chapter 23: Monthly Examinations

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

When Mo Zhu returned, Huo Xuan was making a call in the living room. When he saw her return, he poured her a glass of water.

Huo Xuan wasn't speaking a local language and he didn't avoid Mo Zhu.

Soon, Huo Xuan hung up and sat down beside Mo Zhu. "I heard that your results aren't very good?"

"It's alright." Mo Zhu opened her phone and casually replied Huo Xuan as she replied her messages.

"Xu Huan bought you some questions." Huo Xuan looked at Mo Wu, who brought him a thick stack of questions.

Mo Wu felt sorry for Xu Huan. He was about to suffer Ms. Mo's wrath.

Although Ms. Mo didn't like to talk, when she looked at someone with her eyes were cold and evil, this expression meant that the person was going to be in trouble. One couldn't deny that she was exactly like Master Huo in this aspect.

Support our newn0vel(0rg)

However, the questions were not bought by Xu Huan.

The people from Beijing received a call from Young Master Huo today. He had asked them to collate the questions for the college entrance examination. After buying them, he sent someone to bring them back. Coincidentally, Mo Zhu had returned when the questions arrived. These questions couldn't be found in the market.

This was the first time Huo Xuan had seen the disdain in the girl's eyes. As this was the first time he had seen Mo Zhu reveal such an expression, he found it rather amusing.

Mo Zhu turned to Huo Xuan, her almond-shaped eyes faintly misty as she stared at him.

"Would a student that the principal of Jingyang High School chose be afraid of these questions?" Huo Xuan admitted that when Mo Zhu looked at him, he had to compromise. However, it was still the child's studies that were important.

He had heard from Xu Huan that Mo Zhu entered the school with a recommendation letter from the principal. The Fang family did not believe it, but he believed that Mo Zhu would not lie.

Mo Zhu kept silent and went upstairs.

Ms. Mo only behaves like this in front of Master Huo, right? The way she looked at others usually was frighteningly cold, Mo Wu thought.

The next day was the first day of the monthly examination of Jingyang High School. Huo Xuan sent Mo Zhu to school early.

In Class Eight, Li Xiao announced the rules of the exam in the classroom before handing out the exam papers. From the past two days, everyone had gotten used to the examination process and they started to do the exam papers.

The first subject was Chinese. Mo Zhu only filled in the blanks for the first few choices. She wrote the answers very quickly, as if she was writing without thinking. Before she finished the rest of the essay, Mo Zhu laid down and slept.

After Chinese was Mathematics. Like the previous papers, Mo Zhu filled the multiple choice questions in a few seconds, chose one of the big questions to complete and continued sleeping.

Meng Ran only heard Mo Zhu write quickly and then began to sleep.

It was the same for physics. She only chose to complete one question from the back section.

The last subject was English and almost all of it was multiple choice questions. Mo Zhu filled up the entire answer sheet.

While they were taking the English test, Duan Xu was discussing the test with the other physics teachers in the office of the physics teachers.

"The questions this time are a little difficult." Especially the last question, which was beyond the standard of a high school student.

He did not expect the first monthly examination to be so difficult. He was worried that it would affect the students' confidence.

The last question was found from the Physics Olympiad website. He did not have much hope for this question.

He casually flipped through the exam papers. Although most of them were blank, he saw that one of the papers was not. He looked at it with rapt attention and was a little excited. The answer was correct!

However, the process that it was done with was different from the standard answer. He took a closer look and realized that the solution to the question was even simpler and clearer than the standard answer. He felt that his thoughts had been opened up at that instant.

Duan Xu was excited that there was such a potential in the third year students this year.

When the other teachers saw how agitated Duan Xu was, with curiosity, he asked him what was up.

"Someone has solved the last question!"

The other teachers couldn't sit still any longer. They were very curious about which student it was.

"Class One's Xu Zhang has always had good physics results. Could it be him?"

"There's also Fang Ran from Class One. Her results have always been one of the best."

The two teachers were guessing.

"No, this student isn't from class one." Duan Xu denied.

"The student is not from Class One?" The outstanding students from Jingyang High School were all gathered in Class One. Duan Xu said he was not from Class One, that was strange. Why would such a talent be in another class?

Some of the teachers could not hold back and looked at the position where the papers were placed. They guessed that the papers were from Class Eight, but because the names were concealed, they did not know who it was from.

"Class Eight, that should be Meng Ran," a teacher who had some impression of Class Eight quickly said.

When Duan Xu found Li Xiao, Li Xiao was confused.

"Mr. Duan, what's the matter?"

"I'm looking for Meng Ran from Class Eight," Duan Xu answered.

Li Xiao did not know why Duan Xu was looking for Meng Ran, but he still asked Meng Ran out. Duan Xu brought Meng Ran to the physics office and eagerly asked if the paper was hers. Meng Ran was a little confused and she replied, "I didn't solve the last question."

"You didn't manage to solve it?" Duan Xu was a little disappointed. "Alright, Meng Ran."

"But my desk mate had solved it." She did see Mo Zhu pick a question to answer, and this was the question she had solved.

"Can you ask your desk mate to come out?" Duan Xu couldn't wait any longer. He wanted to recruit such a talent.. The physics office had been quiet for too long.

"Sister Mo, someone is looking for you," Meng Ran returned to her seat and said to Mo Zhu.

Mo Zhu nodded and walked out. There was an unfamiliar teacher standing at the door. He had a standard Mediterranean hairstyle, but his eyes were brimming with energy.

"Mo Zhu, I heard you solved the last question of the Physics Examination, is it true?"

"Yes." Mo Zhu nodded coldly.

"Can you share with me your line of thought when solving the question?"

Although Mo Zhu was a little impatient, she still said it.

That's right, that's right. It's this student. Duan Xu's gaze towards Mo Zhu became increasingly friendly. He had found such a talent!

Support our newn0vel(0rg)

"Teacher Duan, Mo Zhu had just come to Jingyang High School and is still not used to it, so her grades are a little bad. However, she is still studying well."

Li Xiao was carrying a stack of exam papers towards the classroom when he saw Duan Xu ask Mo Zhu out. Thinking that Mo Zhu had been reprimanded, he quickly explained to Duan Xu.

"Mr. Li, you've misunderstood. Mo Zhu is very talented. I plan to recruit her into the physics group." Duan Xu looked at Li Xiao with an eager gaze. Mo Zhu was a student in Mr. Li's class. If he wanted to recruit her into the physics group, Li Xiao would have to agree.

"I have no objections. As long as Mo Zhu agrees, it's fine with me." Li Xiao heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it wasn't anything bad.

He also felt that Mo Zhu had a lot of potential in learning. Now that a teacher had discovered Mo Zhu's talent, he was very happy.

"Mo Zhu do you agree with it?" In reality, Mo Zhu was not really listening to their conversation. She was a little sleepy. She narrowed her eyes and nodded casually.

"In that case, please ask your parents to come over in the afternoon. We'll discuss this with the parents." Entering the group would take up a lot of the student's spare time after school, and her parents had to agree to it.

Call her parents? Mo Zhu immediately regretted it. She wondered if she would be beaten by the teacher if she said she was unwilling.

1

She looked up to see Duan Xu grinning at her.

"Then it's settled. I'll talk to Mo Zhu's parents in the afternoon." After speaking, he quickly left, afraid that Mo Zhu would go back on her words.

When Mo Zhu returned to the classroom, she was a little frustrated. It was impossible for her to call Qin Ya over. She looked at Jiang Xun. Should she ask Uncle Jiang to come over? However, Jiang Yan had come to school previously, and she felt that it didn't seem very feasible.

Jiang Xun felt Mo Zhu's gaze. Sister Mo's gaze was a little scary.

She put on her headphones and buried her head on the table. A figure appeared in her mind. Should she ask Xu Huan to come?

Mo Zhu opened her phone and sent a message to Xu Huan. Xu Huan agreed readily. It was only then did Mo Zhu's expression soften.

At the appointed time in the afternoon, Mo Zhu walked into the office. Duan Xu was already waiting for her. There was someone sitting on the sofa opposite him, but it was not Xu Huan.

The man sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, his hand casually resting on his left leg. Although he was still as languid and noble as before, there was a rare seriousness in his expression.

When Mo Zhu sent a message to Xu Huan, Huo Xuan was beside her. Even though he was a little depressed that the little girl didn't look for him, he still stopped Xu Huan when he was about to leave.

1

Duan Xu called Mo Zhu over and she sat beside Huo Xuan.

"Your brother just told me that everything is up to you." Duan Xu was also very surprised when he saw Huo Xuan.

Although he had expected that with Mo Zhu's looks, her family should have very outstanding appearances, he did not expect that not only was Mo Zhu's elder brother's looks outstanding, his aura was also extraordinary. He did not dare to look Huo Xuan in the eye.

However, it was clear that Huo Xuan respected him.

"Brother?" There were some cracks on Mo Zhu's usually cold face.

1

"Teacher Duan just said that you are very talented in physics. I am very glad." Since Mo Zhu had taken the initiative to ask him, how could he not agree?

"In the future, Mo Zhu will be coming to the Physics Department to study for an hour after school. Please go back and inform your parents to pick Mo Zhu up an hour later." Duan Xu saw that Huo Xuan's expression was a little strange and no longer as friendly as before.

She was going to be home an hour later in the future? Why didn't he say that at the start? Huo Xuan felt a little regret.

Mo Zhu found it very amusing that a second ago, Huo Xuan had a smug expression when he was addressed as her elder brother, but now he looked not pleased.

1

However, Duan Xu didn't give them a chance to regret their decision. Seeing that Mo Zhu and Huo Xuan didn't reject him, he left happily.

He left behind Huo Xuan and Mo Zhu and Mo Zhu looked at Huo Xuan coldly.

"Little girl, are you angry? Didn't you ask Xu Huan to act as your brother?" Huo Xuan looked at Mo Zhu's cold face and felt a little helpless.

When Mo Zhu sent the message to Xu Huan, she was a little worried. What if Xu Huan said who she was when he came? She wouldn't agree to call him uncle no matter what, so she would just address him as her elder brother.. However, she didn't expect Huo Xuan to come.

"Brother~" The young girl's voice had a slight tremble to it, and her already pleasant voice now carried a hint of flirtatiousness. Seeing the man's body stiffen, Mo Zhu left the physics office in triumph.

Huo Xuan watched as the girl left in a good mood, his dark eyes filled with doting love.

When Mo Zhu returned to the classroom, Li Xiao came in with the report card. The efficiency of Jingyang High School was very high. They had just finished their exams in the morning and the results were out in the afternoon.

"In this examination, all of you have performed quite well, especially our classmate Meng Ran. She had gotten the first place in the class and she's ranked 100th in the level."

However, the students of Class Eight were somewhat dejected. Their class's first place was only ranked the 100th in the level, let alone the other students.

"Everyone, don't be disheartened. As long as you do your best, you can improve a little by a little in the future." Li Xiao saw that his class was a little dejected, and he smiled as he comforted them.

"If you're not good at some subjects, you can also develop your strengths, like Mo Zhu. Our class's Mo Zhu has been recruited by the Physics Department today. In the future, if there's anything you don't understand in physics, you can ask Mo Zhu."

"Sister Mo, I didn't expect you to be so good at physics." Zhang Qi and Li Shen looked at Mo Zhu excitedly. However, when they saw the answer sheet for English on Mo Zhu's table, they paused for a few seconds.

"Did Sister Mo pick the wrong answers on purpose? None of them are correct!" At least he had gotten five correct answers.

"But this picture is so special." Li Shen looked at the picture on the answer sheet.

"So Sister Mo was drawing. But this is too tragic. None of them was the correct answer!" Zhang Qi felt a little sympathetic. He was glared at by Meng Ran.

Mo Zhu did not speak. She picked up a piece of paper and began writing and drawing.

The next class was Yang Rong's. She walked into Class Eight with the English exam paper in her arms and she looked really unhappy.

"We are dead meat, the old witch is going to curse again." Zhang Qi turned his head to the back.

"Your class did very badly in English this time!" Yang Rong slammed her exam paper on the podium with a furious expression.

"I've explained many of the questions to all of you before, but the results were still the same. They were all taught at the same time, so why is it that everyone in Class One knows how to do it, but you guys don't?"

"She's talking about Class One again. The old witch always uses Class One as an example."

"In her eyes, the students in Class One are all treasures. The students in the other classes are just grass."

1

"There's one more thing that I can't figure out. Some students didn't even get a single question correct!" Yang Rong looked at Mo Zhu mockingly.

"Not a single one?"

"That's impossible, right? The old witch couldn't have made that up, could she?"

The students of Class Eight were in disbelief. They were all guessing who the unlucky person was. Only Zhang Qi and Li Shen were secretly worried about Mo Zhu.

After speaking, Yang Rong began to talk about the exam papers. The atmosphere was tense.

The students in Class Eight didn't like Yang Rong teaching them, unlike Li Xiao, who was good at guiding students, Yang Rong only knew how to compare the students and attack them.

1

After talking for ten minutes, Yang Rong's gaze suddenly paused at a certain location. Li Shen shook his shoulders. Why did he feel that the old witch was looking at him? How scary.

"Some of the students did badly in their exams and they are still not listening in class. Do they know everything already?"

"Mo Zhu, tell everyone what's the answer they should choose for this question?"

When Zhang Qi and Li Shen heard Mo Zhu's name, they immediately knew that Yang Rong was targeting her.

"Sister Meng, quickly tell Sister Mo what to choose for this question."

Meng Ran was a little nervous when she heard Yang Rong call Mo Zhu. "But I don't know how to answer this question. My answer is wrong."

"Huh? No way. Sister Mo is kind of pitiful. She was caught by the old witch."

Mo Zhu was drawing the blueprint in her hand when she heard this. She slowly stood up.

"If you don't know how to do it, just stand there." Yang Rong was confident that Mo Zhu didn't know how to do it, so she was prepared to let her stand as a warning.

"The answer is C," she heard Mo Zhu say the correct answer without thinking.

Yang Rong was even angrier. "If you don't know how to do it, then you should face the fact that you're unable to do it so that you can improve. What's the point of someone else telling you the answer? Can you ask someone else to take the test for you?"

When Meng Ran saw Yang Rong looking at her as she spoke, she stood up and said to Yang Rong, "Teacher, I didn't tell Mo Zhu the answer. I did not get this question right."

Yang Rong's face froze. Even Meng Ran, who had the best grades in Class Eight, had done it wrong, let alone the others. However, the answers of Mo Zhu's multiple-choice questions were all wrong, so she couldn't possibly know the correct answer.. However, Yang Rong could only let them sit down reluctantly.

Cloud City's First Hospital

Qin Ya carried her expensive handbag and stormed into a ward.

There was an old woman lying on the hospital bed. Although the pain and illness had caused her to experience many vicissitudes of life, and time had left cruel marks on her body, her face was very amiable. She was holding a photo and looking at it.

The girl in the photo had a gorgeous face, but her face was filled with the arrogance of a young man. Although she looked a little unwilling, she still stood there obediently for the photographer to take the picture.

When Zhang Fen saw Qin Ya walk in, she kept the photo.

"Why are you here? Where's Xiao Zhu? Is she here too?" As she spoke, she looked behind Qin Ya and noticed Qin Ya's ugly expression.

Hearing Zhang Fen's words, Qin Ya sneered, "Mo Zhu is in the Huo Family now, how am I able to control her?"

Support our newn0vel(0rg)

"The Huo family, why is Xiao Zhu at the Huo family? Isn't she in school?" When Qin Ya went to pick up Mo Zhu, she said that she wanted to bring her to Cloud City for school. Zhang Fen had always wanted Mo Zhu to study hard and get into a university. Although she was curious why Qin Ya suddenly remembered Mo Zhu after ignoring her for so many years, she still agreed for Mo Zhu's sake.

"I originally wanted her to marry into the Huo family on Ran Ran's behalf so that she wouldn't have to live a tough life in the future and live comfortably in the Huo family."

"Pfft, who would have thought that with Young Master Huo as her backer, she would start to look down on the Fang family. She actually bullied Ran Ran in front of Young Master Huo and ordered Ran Ran around like a servant."

"What did you say? You married Xiao Zhu off? On the behalf of Fang Ran?" Zhang Fen was shocked when she heard Qin Ya's words.

"You left her in the countryside for more than ten years and didn't care about her at all. You came to pick her up when she was 18 years old and actually asked her to marry on behalf of Fang Ran." Zhang Fen was so angry that her body was trembling.

"Xiao Zhu is also your daughter, how can you be so cruel!"

"Cruel? The Huo Family is such a good family. Marrying her over would be a blessing, but she doesn't know what's good for her." Qin Ya pointed at Zhang Fen and shouted.

"She's not like Ran Ran who's smart, has outstanding results, and is good at the piano. Ran Ran's future is limitless. On the other hand, with Mo Zhu's results, she can only find someone to marry in the future and live a tough life."

"Xiao Zhu is not as bad as you make her out to be. She is outstanding!" Zhang Fen said agitatedly.

"Haha, excellent? You don't have to try so hard to praise her in front of me anymore. I don't plan to let her marry into the Huo family anymore."

"Tell her to make things clear with Young Master Huo. After she leaves the Huo family, I won't pursue the matter of her bullying her sister."

Zhang Fen was so angered by Qin Ya that started coughing violently.

"If you ask me, I think there's no need to treat your illness any longer. The doctor said that it can't be cured anyway. Coincidentally, a month has passed. The monthly expenses here are a good 100,000 yuan. Without the Fang family, you can't even afford to stay here. When this matter is over, I'll send you back." Just as she finished speaking, the door was kicked open from the outside. Qin Ya met a pair of cold eyes that felt like it was filled with ice.

"Do you think I can be controlled by you just because my grandmother is here?"

Mo Zhu fed Zhang Fen a pill. When she saw that Zhang Fen was feeling better, she turned to Qin Ya and said slowly, looking at Qin Ya as if she was looking at a dead person.

Qin Ya was a little afraid when she met such a gaze, but then she was also furious. She was about to speak when she saw someone walk in from the door.

When Mo Zhu left, Xu Huan and Huo Xuan happened to be there as well, so they wanted to tag along.

When Mo Zhu reached the door, she heard the argument in the ward. Xu Huan and Huo Xuan saw the young girl quickly kick the door of the ward open. The two of them realized the seriousness of the matter and quickened their steps to chase after her.

"Can you still be considered a mother?" Xu Huan looked at the scene in the ward. Her usually smiling face was now filled with anger. Huo Xuan stood beside Mo Zhu.

"Young Master Xu, you've misunderstood. It's not what you think." Qin Ya panicked instantly when she saw that Xu Huan and Huo Xuan had also come.

Qin Ya instantly regretted it. Her earlier mean and disdainful face immediately changed into a fawning smile. "Xiao Zhu, I was just joking with your grandmother. I will take good care of your grandmother. The Fang family will continue to pay for your grandmother's medical fees. Don't worry!"

"Who do you think the Fang family is? And who do you think you are?" Mo Zhu's tone was very calm, but her entire body was frighteningly cold. She did not look at Qin Ya, only saying these few words slowly.

Qin Ya was furious when she heard Mo Zhu's words, but she didn't dare to flare up because Huo Xuan and Xu Huan were around.

"Xiao Zhu, your grandmother's hospital fees are 100,000 yuan a month. If it wasn't for the Fang family, how do you plan to pay this fee? Of course, you're living in the Huo family now, but you're not married yet.. It's not good for Young Master Huo to pay this fee, right?" Qin Ya seemed like she was trying to persuade her earnestly.

"Do you really think I can't afford the medical bills?"

"It's just a mere 100,000 yuan, and you're here to find trouble with to my grandmother." Mo Zhu suddenly stood up. Before Qin Ya could see how Mo Zhu moved, she saw her standing in front of her.

"Do you really think that I don't dare to touch you?" A dangerous storm brewed in Mo Zhu's eyes. In the next second, she grabbed Qin Ya's neck.

Qin Ya struggled in panic. She did not expect Mo Zhu to be so strong. She could not break free no matter what.

The girl's eyes were red, as if a sleeping demon had been awakened.

Xu Huan was a little worried when she saw Mo Zhu in this state. He had never seen her like this before.

Huo Xuan gave Xu Huan a look. They should let her vent her anger. It was Mo Zhu's choice how she wanted to deal with the situation. She should have the authority to do so. She just had to do what she wanted and she could hand over the rest to him. However, when he thought about the girl's speed just now, a strange light flashed across the man's eyes.

"Xiao Zhu, don't." Zhang Fen had already recovered from her discomfort. Seeing this, she was a little anxious.

"She's your mother. If you hurt her, you'll be cursed."

"She was daring enough to hurt you." When Mo Zhu heard Zhang Fen's voice, her expression loosened, but she still did not let go.

"I'm fine. Xiao Zhu, don't do anything stupid. It's not worth it to get into trouble for her." Zhang Fen shook her head anxiously.

"Cough cough cough."

Hearing Zhang Fen cough, Mo Zhu immediately let go of Qin Ya and returned to the bed.

Qin Ya, who was standing by the side, had already turned ashen from fright. She stood rooted to the ground in a daze. She had truly felt the aura of death from Mo Zhu, she really wanted to kill her.

Zhang Fen held onto Mo Zhu's hand and said, "I'm fine. As long as you're fine, I will be relieved."

"Xiao Zhu, let her go."

The girl did not speak. After a while, she looked behind her and coldly spat out a word, "Scram."

Qin Ya reacted and ran out of the ward in a panic.

"Xiao Zhu, from now on, don't take action on others whenever you want. If you do this, who will be willing to be friends with you?"

Since she was young, Mo Zhu had been different from other children. She liked to read quietly, play with the computer, and did not like to go to school. Although so, she believed Mo Zhu when she said that she knew everything.

If she didn't want to go to school, then so be it. Zhang Fen was just worried that Mo Zhu would be lonely and unable to make friends.

"Who are these two gentlemen?" Zhang Fen had noticed Huo Xuan and Xu Huan when they entered, but she only had the chance to ask now.

Just with one look, one could tell that these two people had extraordinary temperament. One look was enough to tell that they were rich or noble, especially the person standing next to Mo Zhu.

"Hello, grandma. My name is Xu Huan. I'm a friend of Mo Zhu." After Qin Ya left, Xu Huan's tense face relaxed and he greeted Zhang Fen happily.

"I'm Huo Xuan, Xiao Zhu's fiancé." Huo Xuan looked at Zhang Fen with a rare hint of nervousness.

1

"You're the one from the Huo family that Qin Ya mentioned? The one that Xiao Zhu married on behalf of Fang Ran?" Zhang Fen's expression was complicated when she heard Huo Xuan's words.

She did not want Xiao Zhu to get married so early. Besides, Qin Ya was the one who asked Xiao Zhu to marry on the behalf of Fang Ran, so she was even more against it.

However, Zhang Fen changed her mind when she saw that Mo Zhu did not reject his existence. Although Mo Zhu had always disliked being close to others, she looked a little more relaxed when she was with him.

"Good, good. I'll leave Xiao Zhu in your hands." Zhang Fen said the word 'good' twice in a row.

She did not know how long she could live as well. When she leaves, the person whom she wouldn't be able to let go would be Mo Zhu, who had been by her side since she was young. Although her granddaughter did not seem to care about anything, she knew that Mo Zhu valued relationships the most.

She knew her own body very well, she should have been gone long ago. It was all thanks to Mo Zhu who kept her alive using all sorts of medicine. However, there would come a day when she would leave. She did not know what would happen to Mo Zhu after she left and she did not dare to think about it either. She did not want to see Mo Zhu being all alone after she left.

Her words sounded like she was instructing them on what to do after her death. Mo Zhu was a little irritated.

"Don't worry, I'll take good care of her." The man's tone was very gentle.

Zhang Fen nodded and looked a little tired. Huo Xuan and Xu Huan then left the room, leaving Mo Zhu alone with her.

Huo Xuan and Xu Huan left the ward and entered the office of Zhang Fen's doctor-in-charge.

"Young Master Huo, Young Master Xu, what brings you here?" Upon seeing Huo Xuan and Xu Huan, the doctor was instantly a little frightened.

"Doctor Ren, please take good care of the patient in room 7."

"Is it Madam Zhang Fen? Don't worry, Young Master Huo, I will."

"But we can't do anything about her illness. We can only control her condition with the special medicine." Doctor Ren sounded a little helpless.

When the two heard Doctor Ren's words, their expressions were complicated. Huo Xuan nodded and left the office.

"Master Huo, what kind of illness do you think Mo Zhu's grandmother has? Even with Mo Zhu's excellent medical skills, she can't save her grandmother?" Xu Huan was a little puzzled.

Chapter 28: It's Useless

Ever since Mo Zhu returned from the hospital, she had been in low spirits. She even restrained her normal imposing self as she huddled in the corner of her seat.

Xu Huan's heart ached at the sight.

"Grandma will get better." Huo Xuan held the girl's hand.

Mo Zhu felt her palm being wrapped by someone, and a steady stream of warmth flowed into her body. She looked at Huo Xuan in silence, but she didn't retract her hand.

After a while, the girl thanked him softly.

"Your medical skills are so amazing. Can't you save your grandmother?" Xu Huan couldn't help but ask Mo Zhu.

Mo Zhu was silent.

Support our newn0vel(0rg)

"Don't worry, there's still the divine doctor. If we find him, he might be able to cure your grandmother." Xu Huan suddenly remembered and comforted Mo Zhu.

"It's no use. He can't save my grandmother."

"How do you know it's useless? Have you tried it before?" Xu Huan asked when he saw how confident Mo Zhu was.

"Your medical skills are so amazing. Don't tell me that you're the disciple of the divine doctor?" Xu Huan thought that it was very possible.

Mo Zhu's medical skills were so amazing that only the divine doctor was worthy of being her master. If Mo Zhu was the divine doctor's disciple, then there was no need to worry about the divine doctor's whereabouts. If they asked Mo Zhu to invite him over, perhaps Huo Xuan's poison could be cured.

"He's not my master." Yun Jing was indeed not Mo Zhu's master. He was at most a teacher who taught her in the beginning. Mo Zhu had mostly studied her medical skills herself.

When Mo Zhu arrived at the Huo Mansion, Chen Man was already waiting for her. Mo Zhu was surprised to see her.

In the car, Huo Xuan saw that Mo Zhu wasn't in a good mood, so he called Mrs. Huo over.

Chen Man held onto Mo Zhu's hand and noticed that something was wrong with her mood. She looked at Huo Xuan and Xu Huan inquiringly.

"You guys went to see Xiao Zhu's grandmother today, did something happen?"

"We saw Madam Fang there when we arrived." Xu Huan did not mention Mo Zhu's grandmother's illness.

When she heard this, Chen Man roughly guessed what had happened. Her mother had abandoned her when she was young, so there was definitely nothing good about her going to the hospital to look for Mo Zhu's grandmother.

Her heart ached as she hugged Mo Zhu. "Don't be sad. I'll be your mother from now on."

Mo Zhu was in Chen Man's arms. She, who had always been cold and arrogant, was at a loss, but her heart felt really warm.

"You must be hungry. I've made some food. Let's eat!" Chen Man did not let go of Mo Zhu and brought her to the dining table. Because of Chen Man's presence, Xu Huan stayed behind.

Xu Huan knew that Chen Man's cooking was delicious, but even Huo Xuan barely had a chance to eat it. Yet, she had already cooked twice for Mo Zhu. It was clear how much Chen Man liked her.

Chen Man kept putting food into Mo Zhu's bowl. The reason was that Mo Zhu was too skinny and needed more nourishment. In the face of Chen Man's enthusiasm, Mo Zhu had never been able to reject her.

1

In Chen Man's eyes, Huo Xuan and Xu Huan were like two invisible people. Her daughter-in-law was the most important!

After Xu Huan had her meal, he played games with Mo Zhu. Chen Man did not return to the old mansion immediately either. Instead, she stayed with Mo Zhu for a while longer.

2

"How's school, are you used to it?" Chen Man had heard from Huo Xuan that Mo Zhu studied at Jingyang High School. She didn't believe that the Fang family was the one who sent Mo Zhu there. It seemed like this young lady was very talented.

"If you run into any trouble at school, let me know. If anyone bullies you, I'll help you bully them back. The Huo Family is here," Chen Man said.

The young lady was here alone while her grandmother was in the hospital. Chen Man was worried that Mo Zhu would be bullied in school.

Mo Zhu nodded. She knew that Chen Man was concerned about her.

When Huo Xuan heard Chen Man's words, he felt a little helpless. This young lady didn't look like she was someone easy to bully.

"How are the lessons? Are you able to keep up?"

"You shouldn't ask about that." Xu Huan recalled the test paper he had seen the last time and answered Chen Man's question.

"Are your grades bad? It's fine. We'll take it slow," Chen Man said to Mo Zhu gently.

"The young lady is very talented in physics and was recruited into the physics group." Huo Xuan spoke up for Mo Zhu.

"By the way, didn't you take the monthly exam a few days ago? How many marks did you get?" Xu Huan asked curiously.

"100." Mo Zhu thought for a moment before speaking calmly.

"100? The total score is 750, right? I can't believe you got the same total score as another person's score for one subject. What a coincidence. It's exactly 100." Chen Man glared at Xu Huan.

Although she did not expect that Mo Zhu's results would be so bad, it did not matter. There was still time. Her results could be slowly raised.. If it did not work, it was fine as well, she would not mind.

Chapter 29: Just Come at Me Together

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The teacher's office of Jingyang High School was a little noisy.

"Mrs. Li, we're in school now. If a student has done something wrong, she has to be punished according to the school rules. We're just following the rules," the teaching secretary explained to the person in front of her.

"It's just a small scuffle among the students. It's not serious enough to be punished." The person who spoke was wearing expensive high heels and dressed like a wealthy lady. When she spoke, her face was full of contempt.

She knew her daughter's temper. When she was in a bad mood, she would vent it on the servants at home.

There would definitely be some small conflicts in school. So what? If anything happened, she would just have to pay some compensation. Her family had plenty of money. With her father around, they naturally would not allow her to be punished. There had been a few incidents that occurred, but everything had been peaceful in the end.

This time, they actually said that she wanted to expel her daughter. However, in consideration of the school's influence, the school decided to punish her lightly. Li Lu was given a major demerit and transferred to another class.

Ever since her daughter was transferred to another class, she was in a bad mood every day. Her temper became even worse, and her heart ached for her. When she thought about how her daughter, who was so proud, had actually suffered such grievances, she rushed to school angrily and proposed to reconcile.

Support our newn0vel(0rg)

Unexpectedly, the other party refused to listen to her even after she spoke for a long time. All the other party said was that they refuse to accept the settlement, and she did not even get to meet the principal.

"Mo Zhu, you're here. The principal is already waiting for you. Hurry up and go in." Xu Qing saw a girl walk in and the teaching secretary quickly stood up. She was very respectful to the girl.

Mo Zhu nodded and walked in.

Xu Qing realized that this teaching secretary's attitude towards her was not even comparable to that of a student in school. Her delicate face was full of anger. Who was this girl that could meet the principal of Jingyang High School so easily?

She had been married into the Li family for so many years and had always lived like a princess. Outsiders had always been respectful to her and had never received such treatment. Seeing that the teaching secretary still had the same unyielding attitude, she angrily walked out of the office in her high heels.

Wait, Mo Zhu? She seemed to have heard this name before. Wasn't it the student who had gotten into an accident with her daughter? It was Mo Zhu who had caused her daughter to end up in this state.

She recalled what the secretary had said earlier. No wonder she was so arrogant. So it had something to do with the principal?

She made a phone call. "Help me find out the identity of Mo Zhu from Class Eight of Jingyang High School."

After returning home, Xu Qing looked at the message in front of her with a cold expression. She was just a country bumpkin, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

She was going to make her pay for making her daughter suffer.

In the principal's office.

Xu Qing asked Mo Zhu to sit down. "Actually, I didn't have much for you. I heard that you joined the physics team?"

1

Duan Xu had been in high spirits for the past few days. He seemed to be in a particularly good mood and would smile at anyone he saw. They only knew that he had discovered a talent after asking him. Now, the teachers in the office all knew that Class Eight's Mo Zhu had joined the physics group.

He had also heard from the teaching secretary as he had instructed her to inform him everything about Mo Zhu.

Mo Zhu leaned back in her seat and nodded, with her legs crossed.

"The physics team will take up some time. Will it affect you?"

"It doesn't take much time. It's no bother."

"The matter on the forum last time was my negligence." Xu Qing looked at Mo Zhu with a sincere and apologetic expression.

"It's alright."

Xu Qing asked Mo Zhu a few questions before asking her to return to the classroom.

After Mo Zhu left, the teaching secretary walked up to him, "Just now, Li Lu's parent came to ask the school to revoke Li Lu's punishment, but I rejected her."

"It is already very lenient of Mo Zhu not requesting to make her drop out of school and yet she still dares to question the school's decision?" Xu Qing's expression was a little cold. She should be glad that her daughter did not hurt the people around Mo Zhu.

"Mrs. Li was very angry when she left. Will Mo Zhu be in danger?" After all, Li Lu's father had some influence in Cloud City, and the Li family had a lot of power. Otherwise, Li Lu wouldn't be so domineering in school. He was worried that the Li family would find trouble with Mo Zhu behind his back.

Xu Qing gave her a reassuring expression. That child would not be easily bullied by others. The teaching secretary was also very surprised to see the amount of trust Xu Qing had in Mo Zhu.

In the afternoon, Mo Zhu, Jiang Xun, and Meng Ran had lunch together. They went out rather late, and there were not many people on the road.

Suddenly, Mo Zhu shielded Meng Ran behind her. A group of people appeared in front of the three of them. All of them were buff and strong, and they looked like they were trained.

Behind the three of them, Li Lu revealed a sinister smile on her face. Meng Ran had a rather good family background and was well protected, thus she did not know what to do when she saw this scene

"Jiang Xun, take Meng Ran far away." After she finished speaking, she looked at the group of people.

"Are you guys coming at me together?" The girl's tone was somewhat arrogant, and she seemed to have angered that group of people.

Chapter 30: An Existence One Cannot Provoke

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Meng Ran was taken away by Jiang Xun. When she saw this scene, she was very anxious. "Jiang Xun, don't worry about me. Quickly go and save Sister Mo."

Although she had seen Mo Zhu's skills last time, this was different. Li Lu and the others were students, whereas these people had undergone training.

Jiang Xun looked in the direction of Mo Zhu and calmly told her that he didn't need to save her.

When Meng Ran saw the scene in front of her, she stopped talking.

The leader looked at the girl in front of him with contempt. Mrs. Li had made a mountain out of a molehill, sending them to teach her a lesson. However, he still had to complete the mission.

He threw a punch at Mo Zhu. Mo Zhu stood there and did not dodge. In the next second, he felt a gust of wind and the person in front of him disappeared. He was suddenly kicked from behind and flew a few meters away.

In a few seconds, those people had already collapsed. Mo Zhu patted the nonexistent dust on her clothes coolly and she looked at Meng Ran and Jiang Xun saying, "Let's go and eat."

In the Li family's house, Xu Qing slapped the man in front of her. "Trash! You can't even kill a wild girl. What did the Li family raise you for?" The group of people who ambushed Mo Zhu knelt in front of Xu Qing in a sorry state.

1

Xu Qing was waiting for their news at home, but when these people appeared in front of her, they were all injured. "Did that wild girl have assistance from others?"

"No." Fear filled his eyes when he thought of the girl. If she hadn't shown mercy, they would all be dead now.

"No? A bunch of trash! Scram!"

"What's wrong? Why are you so angry?" The Li family's master returned from outside and saw the scene.

"It's all because of your precious daughter. Lulu is very angry every time she comes back home and it's all because of that wild girl, Mo Zhu. She has never suffered such grievances in her life. Li Xun, you have to avenge your daughter."

"How dare that blind girl bully my daughter. I'll teach her a lesson." Li Xun was furious. He had been busy with business these few days and did not pay attention to his family matters. He did not expect to hear that his daughter was being bullied the moment he came back. He was furious.

"Mr. Li, listen to my advice and let this matter rest." Li Xun was planning how to make Mo Zhu pay the price but Zhu Rong advised him while looked at him, his expression deep with meaning. They were discussing business when Xu Qing had called to ask him to return home and Zhu Rong had followed him back.

"Brother Zhu, why do you say that?"

"That's all I'm going to say. She's someone you can't afford to offend." After saying that, he left without continuing the business discussion.

Someone he couldn't afford to offend? Li Xun thought through the list of influential families in Cloud City. There was no one with the surname Mo.

Had Zhu Rong misunderstood something?

"Dad, you're finally back!" Li Lu didn't expect that not even a dozen bodyguards could defeat Mo Zhu.

In order to avoid suspicion, she had returned to the classroom when she saw them start fighting. For the entire afternoon, she had waited for news of Mo Zhu getting beaten up, but it had never come.

In the afternoon, she saw that Mo Zhu was still having lessons in Class Eight, looking perfectly fine.

Damn it. She'd gotten away with it again.

Now that Li Xun was home, Li Lu's hope was reignited.

"Dad, you have to avenge me." Li Lu cried as she hugged Li Xun.

She was punished by the school and transferred to another class. Her schoolmates had also started to neglect her because of that video, and now, she sees Jiang Xun eating with Mo Zhu every day. And every single day, she'd be thinking about how she could make Mo Zhu disappear. Make her disappear from this world. She was just a wild girl who came from the countryside. Why did Jiang Xun like her?!

"Lulu, don't worry. I'll take revenge for you and make the person who bullied you pay the price." Seeing his precious daughter in so much pain, Li Xun had completely forgotten his friend's warning. Or perhaps, he didn't feel that Mo Zhu was the person that Zhu Rong mentioned that he couldn't afford to offend.

"Hey, I'd give you 100,000 yuan. Help me kill someone." After Li Xun promised his daughter, he went to the balcony to make a call. When he came back, his expression was really complicated.

"What's wrong?"

When he heard Xu Qing's question, Li Xun remembered that when he was on the phone, the other party had hung up the moment he heard Mo Zhu's name.

1

Then, he asked his friend for help. The other party replied, "I won't accept it even if it's one billion dollars."

One billion yuan? Country Y's president's net worth was only three hundred million yuan. What kind of existence was Mo Zhu? Li Xun broke out in a cold sweat. He was afraid of what kind of person he had almost offended.

1

"I'll change Lulu's school tomorrow," he said, ignoring his wife's shocked expression.

Chapter 31: The Li Family's Bankruptcy

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

"Master Huo, at noon, a group of people surrounded and attacked Ms. Mo and her friends." Mo Qi quickly informed Huo Xuan after returning from Jingyang High School.

"Has it been resolved?" Huo Xuan had all along arranged for people to protect Mo Zhu, but to prevent Mo Zhu from finding out, these people would only appear when she was in danger.

"We, we didn't even have time to appear before those people were taken care of by Ms. Mo." Mo Qi had been following Huo Xuan for a long time, but he had never taken on a mission of this kind. He had been sent to follow a young lady and be responsible for her safety.

Although he later found out that Ms. Mo was Young Master Huo's fiancée, he didn't think that there was any girl in Cloud City who was worthy of his Master Huo.

However, after seeing Ms. Mo fight today, he started to doubt his life. Why did Master Huo send him to protect someone he couldn't even defeat?

A glint flashed across Huo Xuan's eyes. "She's very skilled?" Although it was a question, the man's tone was firm.

"I've never seen Ms. Mo's moves before, but every move was fatal and her speed was astonishing. Those people couldn't even get close to her," Mo Qi said seriously.

Support our newn0vel(0rg)

When Huo Xuan saw Mo Zhu's actions in the ward, he knew that Mo Zhu had pretty decent skills. However, after hearing Mo Qi's words, he could not help but chuckle.

The light in his eyes was too dazzling. How many surprises did she have for him?

Mo Qi was stunned when he saw Huo Xuan smile.

"Have you checked?"

"The Li Family's daughter, Li Lu."

"Let her know that there is a price to pay for hurting someone." Huo Xuan's tone was very calm, but Mo Qi could still hear that his Master Huo was enraged.

"Yes." As for the price that Master Huo mentioned, one could only wait and see.

That day, the master of the Li family received two phone calls. His face was ashen as he fell to the ground. "It's over, it's all over."

"Hubby, what's wrong?" Xu Qing asked concernedly.

"You, you, the good daughter you raised! The Li family has been harmed terribly!"

Li Xun slapped Xu Qing and she fell onto the ground. He had used all his strength in that slap.

Xu Qing groaned in pain after being slapped. "Hubby, what are you doing!"

"What did I do wrong? Isn't Lulu your daughter too? How could our big family be gone? Are you muddle-headed?" Xu Qing looked at Li Xun with disbelief and anger.

It was only when she saw many people entering her house suddenly that she realized that her family business had been declared bankrupt and had all been acquired.

Li Xun walked out of the house in a daze. The Li family was destroyed in his hands. He had let down his ancestors and everyone in the Li family.

It was all his fault for his lack of discipline on his daughter. He did not notice that his daughter, Li Lu, was spoiled by her mother to such a state that her mother allowed her to do anything she wanted. Now that he had offended someone he could not afford to offend, he was guilty, he was so guilty!

3

What was the identity of that girl? He recalled the contents of the phone call just now. There were two forces involved, one in front and one behind. The Li family was easily finished by them.

How could his daughter provoke such a terrifying person? Forget it. All these years, because of his family's power, he had warded off so much trouble for his daughter. Now, it was retribution.

Mo Qi received a call. The Huo family's involvement in the Li family's business had made them bankrupt.

He sneered. Li Xun should be glad that Ms. Mo wasn't injured. Otherwise, it wouldn't be as simple as destroying the Li family. Everyone in the Li family would lose their lives.

He recalled Mo Jiu telling him that Master Huo's illness was controlled by Ms. Mo. Now, the only emotions he had towards this girl was respect. Indeed, how could the person Master Huo fancied be lousy?

When Meng Ran followed Mo Zhu into the canteen, her mind was blank. "Sister Mo, who exactly are you?"

"Erm… a normal person."

2

Meng Ran was speechless. How could someone who could make Jiang Xun listen to her be an ordinary person? But no matter who Mo Zhu was, she was her friend, a friend she was willing to protect.

"Let's go eat!"

On Li Lu's end, she received a call telling her that her family had gone bankrupt. Not long later, the news of the Li family going bankrupt had spread throughout Jingyang High School.

Those who had been bullied by her cried tears of joy. The bad person had finally received the punishment she deserved!

At this moment, there was also another piece of news that spread like wildfire. The Li family had fallen because they had provoked Mo Zhu from Class Eight. Mo Zhu had once again become an influential figure in the school and received the admiration of many people. Some people began to start guessing Mo Zhu's identity.

Chapter 32: Elder Sister

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In Class One, Fang Ran had also heard the news. Her face darkened. Young Master Huo had actually done so much for Mo Zhu. What right did she have to enjoy this? All of this should have been hers. She was just a wild girl from the countryside. What right did she have!

2

It was Xu Qi's first time seeing Fang Ran like this, so she was a little scared. "Ran Ran, what's wrong?"

1

When Fang Ran heard her voice, she came back to her senses and her face was still as sweet as ever. Xu Qi felt that she had seen her expression wrongly just now. How could Fang Ran have such a terrifying expression?

"I'm a little worried about my sister. She's acting so stubborn now that she has hooked up with the Huo family. I'm worried about how she'll end up if she was despised by Young Master Huo in the future." Fang Ran looked worried.

"Are you saying that Mo Zhu begged Young Master Huo to deal with the Li family?" Xu Qi suddenly asked. Everyone in Class One heard her.

"Mo Zhu managed to get close to the Huo Family?"

"I also heard that Young Master Huo is engaged. I didn't expect Young Master Huo's fiancée to be in our school."

Support our newn0vel(0rg)

"Who exactly is Mo Zhu to be able to marry Young Master Huo? Why haven't I heard of the Mo Family before?" The family of the person who spoke was one of the top families in Cloud City. He tried his best to think of the list of influential people in Cloud City.

"She's my elder sister." The people in Class One were surprised to hear Fang Ran say this. They all looked at her.

"My elder sister grew up in the countryside and my mother feels guilty towards her. Thus, she brought her to Cloud City to get engaged to Young Master Huo some time ago. I didn't expect that after my sister had gotten engaged to Young Master Huo, she refused to acknowledge my mother and I. She also didn't want to live in the Fang family's house and moved to the Huo family."

"I know that my sister hates my mother and I. I'm fine if she does anything to me, but she actually did such a thing. Although my sister has Young Master Huo backing her up now, I'm worried what will happen to her if Young Master Huo despises her in the future," Fang Ran said with tears in her eyes.

The students in Class One instantly entered an uproar. Some of the boys who used to like Mo Zhu and the girls who were jealous of Mo Zhu started mocking her.

"Mo Zhu is actually Ran Ran's elder sister!"

1

"I didn't expect Mo Zhu to be such a person. Ran Ran, don't be sad. It's not worth it!"

1

"Mo Zhu had begged Young Master Huo to destroy the Li family's business. She looks so high and mighty, but she had used her looks to seduce Young Master Huo. With Young Master Huo's status, he would've seen so many women. She will be abandoned sooner or later."

"But Li Lu didn't do anything to her. I heard that they had already punished her for the incident on the forum, so why did she want to kill the Li Family?"

1

"Her heart and thoughts are probably twisted. She was abandoned by her mother when she was young and had led a tough life in the countryside. Now that she's with Young Master Huo, she can finally hold her head high."

"Oh, so she has hooked up with Young Master Huo. I was wondering how she had managed to enter Jingyang High School with her bad results." The person who spoke was Ji Shu, the daughter of the Ji family of Cloud City. The Ji family was well-connected in both the government and the triads. The Fang family could not compare to the Ji family but Fang Ran had a good relationship with her.

Ji Shu and Fang Ran were originally the school belles of Jingyang High School, but Mo Zhu was immediately conferred the title of the school belle the moment she arrived and she had stolen their limelight. She had long harbored a grudge against Mo Zhu. How could a country bumpkin be worthy of it!

However, there were also quite a few people who had been bullied by Li Lu who spoke up for Mo Zhu. Most of their families didn't have much power and their abilities were too weak. Their voices were quickly suppressed.

There were also many boys who were unwilling to give up on their goddess Mo Zhu, but one guy clenched his fists tightly.

In Class Eight

"Sister Mo, someone's looking for you," Zhang Qi shouted from outside.

When Mo Zhu heard this, she walked out slowly.

"You went to the Huo family?" Lin Xiao stood outside the door, a rare nervousness on his usually cold face.

"Yes." Mo Zhu replied lazily, then said, "You don't have to worry about this."

"Oh yes, wait a moment." The students of class eight saw Mo Zhu slowly return to her seat and took out a thick set of test papers.

"Take it back and complete it. I'll check it regularly." The young man's face was stiff as he left.

When Class Eight saw this, they were speechless. She was giving someone exam papers?

"Isn't this Lin Xiao from Class One? How does he know Sister Mo?" After Lin Xiao left, Zhang Qi and the others looked at Mo Zhu curiously.

"Oh, him. He's my younger brother."

"Lin Xiao is actually Sister Mo's younger brother? Sister Mo's younger brother is also our younger brother. I will protect him from now on."

"Sister Mo, you actually gave your brother test papers to complete. That's so torturous for your brother!"

When Mo Zhu heard this, she looked up. "Oh, that, all of you have a share too."

She carried out two piles of exam papers from beside her feet. Meng Ran took them and distributed them to everyone in Class Eight. Zhang Qi and the rest were dumbfounded, and everyone started to wail in pain.. However, when they saw that Jiang Xun obediently took the papers and started to complete them, they stopped talking.

Chapter 33: The Examination Paper of Hengshui High

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

"Sister, sister Mo, why did you suddenly give us practice papers?"

Mo Zhu raised her eyebrows with her usual arrogant expression. "Study hard and improve every day."

"Sister Mo, what triggered you?" Mo Zhu was saying this although her results were so bad.

Zhang Qi returned to his seat angrily and started doing the questions. As Brother Xun had started doing it obediently, he didn't dare to object to it.

Soon, every student in Class Eight saw the test papers on the table. When they heard that it was from Sister Mo, they were all surprised. Mo Zhu's grades had always been bad, so why would she suddenly give them the test papers?

"The exam papers of Hengshui First Middle School!" The study committee member who spoke was very surprised. The questions that Hengshui First Middle School predicts were especially accurate. All the good students in Cloud City wished to be able to solve the questions of Hengshui First Middle School.

And these questions could not be purchased in the market, but they actually appeared on his desk.

Upon hearing that it was given by Sister Mo, she ran to Mo Zhu's side and said, "Thank you, Sister Mo!"

When the others heard what she said, they stopped wailing. Sister Mo actually bought the test papers from Hengshui First Middle School and gave them to everyone. Instantly, they admired Mo Zhu even more.

They decided not to let Sister Mo down and focus on completing the exam paper well. If Sister Mo did not give up despite her poor results, how could they give up?

1

When Yu Jia returned to the classroom, she also saw an exam paper on the table. Seeing that she was a little puzzled, her desk mate kindly reminded her that the exam paper was given to her by Mo Zhu. With a bang, the exam paper was thrown to the ground by Yu Jia.

"It's fine if you don't want it, but why did you throw it on the ground?" Her desk mate was a little angry when she saw her acting like this, especially after knowing that Black Bamboo had given them the test questions of Hengshui First Middle School.

2

The others also began to criticize Yu Jia after they saw it. Yu Jia did not expect that in such a short period of time, so many people from Class Eight had stood on Mo Zhu's side.

Her face was twisted with hatred. She only found out yesterday that Li Lu's family had gone bankrupt.

"If you don't want to stay here, you can transfer to another class. There's no need to make yourself suffer." Zhang Qi stood up and looked at Yu Jia angrily.

Yu Jia turned her head and saw Jiang Xun's terrifying gaze behind her. She didn't dare to say anything else. She gave Mo Zhu a resentful look before running out.

Without Yu Jia, the atmosphere in the classroom eased up. Yu Jia's deskmate picked up the test paper and wiped it with a tissue.

Meng Ran looked in the direction where Yu Jia left. She, who had always had a good temper, sneered. "Some people really don't know their place."

When Li Xiao walked into Class Eight's classroom, he saw that the students of Class Eight were all completing their papers seriously. He was momentarily stunned and could not react in time. He thought that it was because they did not do well in the monthly exam and everyone had felt frustrated.

"Students, it doesn't matter if you fail. Don't give yourself too much pressure. Just try your best."

"Teacher, we're fine. We just decided to study hard and improve every day." The study committee member also told Li Xiao about the test papers Mo Zhu had given them. Li Xiao was surprised and gratified when he heard this. He had always felt that this child, Mo Zhu, had great potential.

Seeing how passionate his students were, Li Xiao became more serious when he was teaching.

"Mo Zhu, can you explain this question to everyone?" This question was a little difficult, and it was taking quite a bit of effort for him to explain it. Seeing that his students did not seem to understand his explanations, Li Xiao looked at Mo Zhu, who was completing the question with her head lowered.

Hearing Li Xiao call out to her, Mo Zhu raised his head and slowly stood up. She looked at the blackboard for a second and said plainly, "This question uses the lever principle, it is talking about A and B…"

"I actually understand her explanation." Zhang Qi looked at Li Shen excitedly. Li Shen was looking at him with the same expression.

When Li Xiao saw the expressions on his classmates' faces, he knew that they understood Mo Zhu's explanation. And after hearing Mo Zhu's answer, the way his thoughts were structured were completely different.

"Mo Zhu, you have explained it very well. You may sit down." Li Xiao smiled so widely, his smile was as bright as a chrysanthemum flower.

After that, whenever he encountered any difficult problems, Li Xiao would wake Mo Zhu up. In these two periods, Mo Zhu's faint voice sounded from the classroom from time to time. As for the students of Class Eight, they had gone through two enjoyable physics lessons. Besides that, they had understood all those difficult problems without any exceptions!

The bell signifying the end of school rang.

"Sister Mo, let's eat together!" Zhang Qi and Li Shen looked at Mo Zhu. Mo Zhu, Meng Ran, Jiang Xun, and the others walked towards the canteen together.

Along the way, they received a lot of attention. Mo Zhu was already famous in the school, and with Jiang Xun, it was hard not to notice her.

"Sister Mo, your physics is too good. Even I understood the questions you explained!"

"Me too, I understand them as well!"

"Yes of course, Sister Mo is awesome!" Meng Ran had an expression that read 'duh'.

Chapter 34: We Trust You

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The moment Mo Zhu and the others appeared in the canteen, almost everyone's eyes were focused on them. Fang Ran saw that everyone was looking at the door. She, who had been the center of attention just a moment ago, was ignored. She turned around and saw Mo Zhu.

'It's her again! Mo Zhu! She's just an abandoned wild girl. Why is she always stealing my limelight?' Fang Ran thought. Thinking of the humiliation she suffered at the Huo Family that day, Fang Ran's face was filled with ferocity. However, she quickly put on a gentle and pleasant expression and walked towards Mo Zhu.

Mo Zhu had already seen Fang Ran's figure from afar and she ignored her.

"Sister, are you still angry at Mom and I?" Sister? Zhang Qi and the rest knew Fang Ran. Before Mo Zhu came, all of them had a good impression of Fang Ran. After all, Fang Ran was famous for being beautiful, kind, and she was from a good family background. But why did Fang Ran address Sister Mo as her sister?

Jiang Xun knew of Fang Ran. Just like her mother, she was not a good person. He looked at Fang Ran mockingly.

When Fang Ran saw Jiang Xun's expression, she felt even more jealous. Why was Jiang Xun so protective of Mo Zhu? What could she have that was better than her? The expression on her face became even more aggrieved, making others pity her.

"Sister, you, how can you be hanging out with other guys? Young Master Huo will be angry if he finds out."

Support our newn0vel(0rg)

"So what if she's hanging out with us? Why would Young Master Huo be angry? Also, what does it have to do with Young Master Huo?" Zhang Qi was a little unhappy when he heard this. Sister Mo could be with whoever she wanted. What did it have to do with anyone else? Why was this school belle Fang Ran addressing Mo Zhu as her sister?

"Sister, although Mom had left you behind all these years and made you suffer alone in the countryside, she already feels very guilty for it. Thus, she had married you to Young Master Huo. Young Master Huo had treated you so well and even helped you deal with the Li family. Why, why are you still hanging out with other guys?" Fang Ran looked at Jiang Xun as she spoke, her face looking really pitiful.

1

Fang Ran's words contained too much information. In addition, there were already many people gathered around them and it caused a huge uproar.

"If you don't want to live anymore, I'll fulfill your wish." The others had never seen such a terrifying expression on Jiang Xun's face, and even Fang Ran couldn't help but tremble when she saw it.

"Heh ~" The girl who had been silent suddenly laughed.

"Didn't the Fang family beg me to marry into the Huo family? Why? Are you upset now that I've married into the Huo family?"

Mo Zhu's eyes were very calm, and no emotions could be seen.

"Did you regret your choice after seeing that Huo Xuan wasn't disfigured? Do you want to marry him now?"

A tear instantly appeared on Fang Ran's face.

"Sister, what, what are you talking about? I've always wanted to marry Young Master Huo, but Mom only married you to Young Master Huo to make it up to you."

1

If not for the fact that Jiang Xun didn't hit women, he would have rushed over and gotten rid of her. She had made Qin Ya and her own selfishness sound so dignified. She was acting just like her mother.

When Zhang Qi and Li Shen came into contact with such a huge amount of information, they could not accept it. However, they believed in Mo Zhu. Just by hearing the words of the pitiful school belle Fang Ran, they could tell that they were directed at Mo Zhu. Then, they looked at Fang Ran with disdain.

It was the same for Meng Ran. Although they did not know what had happened, they believed in Mo Zhu.

Mo Zhu did not want to waste her breath on her. She walked around her and left.

"So she is Mo Zhu?" A clear female voice sounded. After Mo Zhu left, Ji Shu walked out from behind Fang Ran.

Seeing that the Mo Zhu was so popular, Ji Shu's exquisite face was filled with displeasure. As the eldest daughter of the Ji family, Ji Shu knew some martial arts and was used to being really arrogant.

However, her arrogance was different from Mo Zhu's. Ji Shu's eyes were filled with disdain and she looked down on others.

"Sister Mo, I believe you." Meng Ran, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

1

Mo Zhu's hand, which was holding on to the chopsticks, froze.

"Me too. Just by looking at her, that school belle Fang Ran doesn't look like a good person. To think that I actually liked her before."

"Yes, we all believe Sister Mo."

Besides Jiang Xun, she never expected that Meng Ran and the others would stand by her side unconditionally. So this was how it felt to be trusted by others.

1

She raised her head and revealed a very sincere smile. Besides Jiang Xun, everyone else was stunned.

"Sister Mo, are you staying in the Huo family now?" Zhang Qi asked as he recalled Fang Ran's words.

"Yes.." Jiang Xun frowned slightly when he heard Mo Zhu's answer, but he didn't say anything.

Chapter 35: Huo Xuan Is Not a Simple Person

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

"Does Young Master Huo treat you well?"

"Pretty well."

Upon hearing Mo Zhu's answer, Zhang Qi and the others felt even more sorry for her. She had been abandoned by her mother since she was young, and when her mother found her, she had used her to marry someone else on behalf of her other daughter.

"Then, Sister Mo, do you have any other relatives?" Meng Ran asked.

Mo Zhu pondered for a moment and answered, "I have a grandmother in the First Hospital."

"Is Sister Mo's grandmother sick?"

"Why don't we go visit her together?"

Support our newn0vel(0rg)

"Yes, Sister Mo's grandmother is our grandmother."

1

Unable to resist their enthusiasm, Mo Zhu nodded. "I'll go get someone later. He'll go with us."

The five of them applied for leave from Li Xiao and went to the First Hospital.

The other person that Mo Zhu was talking about was Lin Xiao from Class One. Lin Xiao was the son of Mo Zhu's aunt. Since her parents were not by her side since she was young, her aunt took very good care of her. Naturally, Lin Xiao had a very good relationship with her. Lin Xiao was a special admission student of Jingyang High School and he had entered the school based on his own abilities.

When Zhang Fen saw that Mo Zhu had brought so many people to visit her, she was very happy and she felt much better.

"Hello, Mo Zhu's grandma. We are friends of Mo Zhu, and we are here to visit you." Meng Ran greeted Zhang Fen.

"Alright, hello. Come sit down."

"Grandma Zhang." Jiang Xun was very close to Mo Zhu's grandmother.

"Grandma." Lin Xiao smiled when he saw his grandmother.

"Hey! Little Xun and Xiao Xiao are here as well." Zhang Fen was even happier when she saw that both Jiang Xun and Lin Xiao had come as well.

Mo Zhu peeled an apple for Zhang Fen while Zhang Qi and Li Shen told some jokes to make Zhang Fen happy.

Zhang Fen looked at Mo Zhu and said, "That child who came with you the last time had come a few times too."

"He, came?" Mo Zhu knew that she was referring to Huo Xuan.

Jiang Xun heard Zhang Fen's words and asked, "Grandma, are you talking about Huo Xuan?"

He didn't expect Huo Xuan to have met Mo Zhu's grandmother. Lin Xiao was also surprised and looked at Mo Zhu worriedly.

Because all of them had classes in the afternoon, Mo Zhu and the others returned to school after staying for a while. When they parted with Lin Xiao, Mo Zhu gave him two tickets.

After the second lesson in the afternoon, Meng Ran looked dispirited.

"What's wrong?" Mo Zhu looked at her.

"I can't meet my idol anymore. I didn't manage to get a ticket." Tomorrow was Monday, which was the time for the Essence Soul's competition in Cloud City.

"Don't worry, you will see him." Meng Ran thought that Mo Zhu was comforting her when she saw how confident Mo Zhu was. Thus, she did not say anything.

Then, she saw Mo Zhu rummaging through the drawer and taking out a stack of tickets. Yes, a stack of them.

"Are you going to tell me that these are the tickets to the Essence Soul's Competition?"

Mo Zhu kept quiet and passed the tickets for her to see for herself.

"Oh my god, it really is. And there are so many of them? Sister Mo, you're too amazing!"

Zhang Qi and Li Shen turned around. "What's wrong, what's wrong?"

"We can go and watch the competition of the Essence Soul!" Meng Ran was excited. When Zhang Qi heard Meng Ran mention the Essence Soul, he was also depressed. It was too difficult to get tickets to the Essence Soul's competition. And now, seeing how happy Meng Ran was, he reckoned other than Meng Ran, no one in Class Eight had managed to get the tickets.

"It's not me, it's us. Sister Mo has tickets." Did Mo Zhu manage to get two tickers?

After seeing the stack of tickets on Mo Zhu's table, Zhang Qi and Li Shen stopped talking. They decided to hide it from the others and give them a surprise tomorrow.

At this moment, everyone in Class One was also discussing the Essence Soul's competition.

"Ran Ran, did you manage to get the tickets?"

"No, but Young Master Xu gave me one."

"Wow, Young Master Xu treats you so well!" Under her desk mate's gaze which was filled with meaning, Fang Ran smiled a little embarrassedly.

Ji Shu also had a ticket. Fang Ran walked to Xu Zhang and smiled sweetly. "Young Master Xu, let's watch the competition tomorrow!"

After school, Jiang Xun and Mo Zhu walked out of the school. Jiang Xun asked, "Are you planning to stay at the Huo family's residence forever?"

"Huo Xuan isn't as simple as he looks."

"I know." How could someone who was poisoned with such a poison be simple?

"You know it and you're still…" Jiang Xun hadn't finished speaking when he saw Huo Xuan waiting at the entrance, and his gaze was slightly hesitant.

The man was leaning against the car, holding a cigarette in one hand, his movements extremely languid. When he saw Mo Zhu walk over, he snuffed it out.. Huo Xuan also noticed Jiang Xun, and his gaze was slightly hostile.

Chapter 36: You're Leaving?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After Jiang Xun left, the two of them got into the car. Huo Xuan looked in the direction Jiang Xun left and said, "Young lady, you're still fooling around?"

"Your poison would be completely controlled today."

Previously, Mo Zhu had mentioned that she would leave after the treatment was completed. He did not expect this day to come so quickly. For the first time, a nervous expression appeared on the man's face.

"You, are leaving?" Black Bamboo wasn't someone who would be easily threatened by the Fang family. Staying in the Huo family was merely returning a favor to Huo Xuan.

Huo Xuan was also very clear about this point too. With Mo Zhu's medical skills, how could she be afraid of a mere Fang family? If they were in Beijing, there would be many noble families begging for Mo Zhu to stay, it was just that the Fang family weren't been able to see this side of her.

"My mom really likes you," Huo Xuan said after a while.

"You've just arrived in Cloud City, so there are many things that you're not familiar with. The Huo family can help you to do whatever you want. You can treat this place as your own home and treat it as your reward for helping me control the poison in my body."

Support our newn0vel(0rg)

The atmosphere in the car was a little tense. It was indeed more comfortable for Mo Zhu to live in the Huo family than the Fang family. Huo Xuan was also more casual, and she really liked Chen Man. Mo Zhu thought about it and agreed.

Seeing that Mo Zhu was willing to stay, Huo Xuan heaved a sigh of relief.

He could tell that Mo Zhu was in a good mood today. Huo Xuan saw that the coldness on the girl's body had dissipated quite a bit. She wasn't as aggressive as when he first saw her and she looked very obedient like this.

"I heard from my grandmother that you had gone to visit her. Thank you." The girl's gaze was filled with sincerity.

"Your grandmother is my grandmother. There's no need to stand on ceremony." Huo Xuan's deep gaze landed on the girl. In it, Mo Zhu saw an emotion that she could not understand.

Even though Zhang Qi and the others had said the same thing today, Huo Xuan's words felt different from theirs.

When Huo Xuan saw the girl in a daze, he couldn't help but laugh. Mo Zhu could hear the man beside her laughing happily.

Although the young lady looked very smart, she was indeed slower than the average person when it came to relationships. However, it was also a good thing. At least he would not have to worry that she would be cheated by other guys in school. Although so, it was not a good thing for him.

Mo Zhu and Huo Xuan got out of the car and sat down on the sofa.

Xu Huan's car stopped at the entrance and he got out of his flashy car. "Little Bamboo, I'm here!"

Seeing that Mo Zhu was playing games, Xu Huan seemed to have recalled something and said excitedly, "Little Bamboo, there's an Essence Soul competition tomorrow. Do you want to watch it? I have a few tickets."

Xu Huan was also a fan of the Essence Soul. He spent a lot of effort on getting these tickets.

Seeing no reaction from Mo Zhu, he asked, "Little Bamboo, aren't you a fan of the Essence Soul?"

Mo Zhu's hands were still moving as she looked up. "I'm not."

Xu Huan found it hard to believe. Mo Zhu was so good at playing games, how could she not be a fan of the Essence Soul?

"Are you going to watch the competition then?"

"Ywa."

5

Xu Huan was a little speechless. "Then let's go together tomorrow."

Mo Zhu nodded and returned to her room.

"Were you the one who took action on the Li family's business?" After Mo Zhu went upstairs, Xu Huan wiped the smile off his face and looked at Huo Xuan.

"Yes. They had touched someone they shouldn't."

When Xu Huan heard this, he remembered that Li Xun's daughter was also in Jingyang High School, and he immediately understood it.

"They hurt Little Bamboo?"

"They should be glad that they didn't hurt her." The man wore a murderous expression.

Seeing the man's reaction, Xu Huan knew that Huo Xuan had truly fallen for Mo Zhu.

"How bold." Since he had dared to hurt their people, he had to bear the consequences.

"Mo Qi said that someone else powerful had involved themselves too," Huo Xuan said after a moment of silence.

Xu Huan fell silent. There were other people teaching them a lesson? Who could it be?

Just as the Huo family was about to swallow up the Li family, another power was also targeting the Li family. However, after seeing the Huo family's power, they retreated quietly.

"Have you checked?"

"Jiang Yan."

Jiang Yan? So not only did Mo Zhu know Jiang Xun, she knew Jiang Yan too? Jiang Yan had even gone so far for her. Who exactly was Mo Zhu, and what was her relationship with Jiang Yan?

How did a high school student know Jiang Yan? Although Xu Huan had many doubts, he would not ask Mo Zhu hastily..

It was the same for Huo Xuan. It was enough that he knew that Mo Zhu had no ill intentions towards him. As for who she was and what her past was, he didn't care.. What he cared about was Mo Zhu's present and future.

Chapter 37: Going Through Questions the Whole Night

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Xu Huan and Huo Xuan chatted for a while before Xu Huan returned home.

Huo Xuan looked upstairs and pondered for a moment before walking up.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Huo Xuan knocked on the door, but there was no response. He patiently knocked again, but there was still no response. His expression changed slightly as he pushed the door open.

The next second, he turned around with a subtle expression on his face.

Mo Zhu had just walked out of the bathroom and had only wrapped a bathrobe around her. Her legs were straight and slender. The young girl's skin was smooth, and she did not have any makeup on her face. It was easy to see that her extremely cold eyes were like bamboo in a distant forest, and her body smelled like shower gel.

Upon seeing Huo Xuan enter, the expression on her face was a little strange, but it was still indifferent.

Support our newn0vel(0rg)

"Erm, I didn't do it on purpose." Huo Xuan looked to the right with an unnatural expression.

"What's the matter?" The girl's indifferent gaze fell on Huo Xuan.

"You should change into your clothes first." Huo Xuan closed the door, his breathing a little ragged.

When he entered had again, Mo Zhu had already changed into her usual t-shirt and shorts.

Huo Xuan passed a glass of milk to Mo Zhu, she took it from him and their fingers touched.

Mo Zhu thanked him and casually sat down. Huo Xuan sat down as well.

"I heard you have a good relationship with Jiang Xun?"

Mo Zhu looked up. "Yeah… it's alright."

Seeing that Mo Zhu was unwilling to speak, Huo Xuan didn't ask any further. "Have you completed the exercises I gave you?"

"Yes." Speaking of this matter, Mo Zhu was rather annoyed.

"Let me take a look." Just like that, the outstanding graduate of Beijing University, Huo Xuan, went through questions with Mo Zhu the entire night and Mo Zhu was quite convinced of his abilities.

The next morning, Mo Wu saw that Mo Zhu literally had the words 'insufficient sleep' written on her face and his expression turned even colder. Besides that, the corners of the eyes of his Master Huo were a little dark too. Those who didn't know would think that the two of them had done something last night.

After Huo Xuan sent Mo Zhu to school, Xu Huan arrived at the Huo residence.

"Hey, Master Huo, were you being a thief last night?" Xu Huan teased upon seeing Huo Xuan.

"I gave the young lady a lecture on examination questions last night."

"D*mn, Master Huo is so awesome. This is the first time I've seen someone is chasing a girl by going through exam questions with her." Xu Huan was a little convinced.

1

He had come for something serious today as well. "I have a dinner appointment with Elder Xu today."

"Let's go." Huo Xuan took a coat and left with Xu Huan.

The two entered the private room and Elder Xu had arrived too.

"Master Huo, Young Master Xu."

"Elder Xu."

The three of them chatted about business.

Huo Xuan turned to look at Elder Xu. "I heard that you gave someone a recommendation letter?"

"That's right." Elder Xu smiled at the mention of this.

Xu Huan was surprised by Elder Xu's reaction. The head of the Xu family in Beijing actually gave someone a recommendation letter.

"But I've given a lot of them. Which one do you mean?"

There were so many of them? As the principal of Jingyang High School, Elder Xu had always been upright. He actually sent out a few recommendation letters?

"Oh yes, Lu Ran had come to Cloud City." Xu Lao opened his mouth, and the few of them fell silent. Lu Ran had always been in Beijing, so why did he come to Cloud City suddenly? Could there be a big case in Cloud City recently?

In Class Eight's classroom, Jiang Xun and Meng Ran looked at the unhappy Mo Zhu. From her head to toe, one could tell that she hadn't slept well the previous night.

Those who were familiar with Mo Zhu knew that she had a bad temper when she had just woke up, and she would flare up if she was woken up by something. Meng Ran did not even dare to talk to her, and she looked at Jiang Xun.

Jiang Xun moved the stool beside Mo Zhu and asked, "You didn't sleep well last night?" His brows were slightly knitted.

Mo Zhu didn't look up. "Last night, I was completing examinations questions late into the night."

What a strange thing. Mo Zhu had actually worked so hard for her studies? Meng Ran and the others were surprised.

Fortunately, Mo Zhu only slept for two periods. Seeing that she was indeed a little impatient, Li Xiao did not bother her.

"Are you going to the competition tonight, Sister Mo?" Meng Ran asked her after class.

"Yes, you guys go ahead first. I have something on."

"Bring Lin Xiao along."

Jiang Xun nodded. Meng Ran could tell that Mo Zhu was very indulgent towards Lin Xiao. Their relationship was not ordinary.

After studying for an entire afternoon, the students of Class Eight were a little tired. At the same time, they were also a little depressed. Tonight was the Essence Soul's competition.

At this moment, Zhang Qi walked to the podium and asked, "Does everyone want to watch the Essence Soul's competition?"

"Duh! Of course I want to! But we didn't get any tickets!"

"Here, Sister Mo got us tickets." After he spoke, he placed a stack of tickets on the podium.

"Don't tell me these are tickets for the Essence Soul's Competition!" One of them couldn't hold back his excitement and walked over. After he saw it clearly, he shouted excitedly, "It really is!"

"Everyone, look! It really is the tickets for the Essence Soul's competition!" When the others heard this, they rushed to the podium.

"It really is! Sister Mo is amazing!"

"Sister Mo is really awesome!"

Chapter 38: Entering the Police Station, Lu Ran

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

"Let's go, everyone. Let's watch the competition!" Zhang Qi swung his backpack on, and the fatigue on everyone's faces was gone.

Jiang Xun, Meng Ran, and the others went with the people in Class Eight. Mo Zhu walked out of the classroom first.

Xu Huan was already waiting at the school gate.

Mo Zhu didn't expect Huo Xuan to be here as well. Didn't he appear uninterested yesterday?

Once Mo Zhu got into the car, Xu Huan asked Mo Wu to drive in excitement.

Along the way, Xu Huan chattered non-stop. Mo Zhu didn't really feel like talking to him, so she lowered her head and slept.

"Ring ring~" A hurried ringtone sounded. When she picked up the phone, her expression changed drastically.

Support our newn0vel(0rg)

It was a call from Meng Ran. "Sister Mo, something happened to Lin Xiao. Jiang Xun has gone to Class One."

Huo Xuan, Xu Huan, and the others also heard him. "Mo Wu, turn back." Huo Xuan's voice was also rather stern.

Seeing Mo Zhu's gaze, the few of them understood the severity of the matter. The young girl's face was dark, like the prelude to a storm.

"Stop the car." Mo Zhu quickly opened the car door and got Mo Wu out of the driver's seat. The car rushed out like a sword leaving its bow.

As they sped along, seeing how she drove, Xu Huan felt ashamed of his inferior driving skills.

A few minutes later, they arrived at the entrance of Jingyang High School. Once Mo Zhu got out of the car, her figure quickly disappeared in front of everyone.

In Class One

Lin Xiao stood in front of Ji Shu, his lips tightly shut.

"Lin Xiao, you stole the tickets and you refuse to admit it. You can't blame Shu Shu for being so angry. Can you afford to pay if she arrives at the competition late?"

Fang Ran looked impatient. They were supposed to go and watch the competition now, but they were delayed because of Lin Xiao.

Jiang Xun was waiting for Lin Xiao at the entrance of Class Eight, but there was no sign of him. When he heard that something had happened, he rushed over. Lin Xiao was Mo Zhu's cousin. If anything happened to Lin Xiao, he didn't know what Mo Zhu would do.

School had already ended, but the students of Class One did not leave the classroom because Ji Shu could not find her ticket.

"It was still here this morning and it suddenly disappeared. I want to see who dares to steal my ticket." Ji Shu's sidekicks blocked the door and refused to let anyone out. They rummaged through the drawers one by one.

Lin Xiao's drawer was flipped open, a book fell open and two tickets fell out.

"Good job, Lin Xiao. Good job." Ji Shu gave Lin Xiao two slaps on the spot.

"This is mine," the young man said stubbornly.

"Yours? You're from the countryside. How can you have tickets to the Essence Soul's competition?"

"Lin Xiao usually looks so prim and proper, I didn't expect him to steal things behind my back."

"That's right, hurry up and apologize to Sister Ji!"

"Apologize!"

No matter what others said, the youngster stubbornly said that the tickets were his.

Even though he was already being beaten up. Ji Shu looked down at Lin Xiao, who was lying on the ground, with a look of disdain. "Don't waste my time. If you continue to be stubborn, I will send you to the police station. Stealing is a sentence."

When Mo Zhu reached the entrance of Class One, that was the scene she was met with.

"Sister Mo!" When Jiang Xun saw Mo Zhu's expression, he knew that something bad was about to happen.

"Sure, let's go to the police station."

Ji Shu didn't expect that other than Jiang Xun, Mo Zhu would come as well.

"Jiang Xun, call the police." Mo Zhu instructed Jiang Xun in a low voice.

"Mo Zhu, don't meddle in other people's business. He stole something. I'm just teaching him a lesson. If he goes to the police station, I'm afraid he will suffer." Ji Shu didn't expect this b*tch, Mo Zhu, to call the police. But so what? She was not the person who was afraid.

A few minutes later, Lin Xiao and the others were brought to the police station.

When the chief saw that it was Ji Shu, his face was full of flattery. "Ms. Ji, why are you here?"

"Someone stole my things. You have to deal with this matter properly." Chief Zhang saw Lin Xiao behind him and understood the whole story. Besides both of them, there was also another man and woman. He thought that Jiang Xun looked familiar, but he wasn't sure about his identity. As for Mo Zhu, he was even more unsure of who she was.

"Don't worry, Ms. Ji. I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation." Ji Shu raised his head arrogantly.

The few of them were brought into the interrogation room.

"Speak. Why did you steal Ms. Ji's things?"

"I didn't," Lin Xiao answered as usual.

Seeing how Lin Xiao was acting, they were getting impatient. Besides that, they wanted to force Lin Xiao to admit it after seeing Ji Shu's displeasure.

"What rights do you have to say that he stole something from you?" Mo Zhu, who had been silent all this while, suddenly spoke. Her voice gave the people there an inexplicable pressure.

"The ticket in his possession is mine. Why else did you think that I'd said that?"

"What rights do you have to say that it is your ticket?" Mo Zhu's voice was still as calm as ever, which annoyed Ji Shu.

"If you can't provide evidence, get lost. Don't affect our investigation." Chief Zhang looked at Mo Zhu angrily.

"Is this how you handle cases?" Mo Zhu's dark eyes landed on Chief Zhang.

Seeing that Mo Zhu dared to doubt his own ability, Chief Zhang was about to flare up when he saw his subordinate rush in and whisper something into his ear.

Chief Zhang's expression changed instantly and he immediately went out to welcome them.

A man walked in from the interrogation room. He was tall and had a dignified look on his face.

Chief Zhang stood nervously at the side, his arrogance gone.

Why did Lu Ran come to Cloud City suddenly? This man was a scary presence in the police force in Beijing. Why did he suddenly come to a small place like his?

Chapter 39: Can't Help Him

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In the room, Ji Shu was sitting on the stool that Chief Zhang had brought in for her. Jiang Xun and Mo Zhu were beside her. The girl was leaning against the wall with her head lowered. Her eyelashes covered her eyes, making it impossible to see her expression.

Lu Ran suddenly looked terrified. "Why are you here?"

He stopped in front of Mo Zhu and roared at Chief Zhang, "Hurry up and move a stool for Ms. Mo!"

Chief Zhang was stunned. Why would Lu Ran be so respectful to this young lady? However, he did not dare to disobey Lu Ran's order and obediently followed it.

"Officer Lu." Mo Zhu looked at Lu Ran and sat down on the stool. Her legs were propped up on the stool and her posture was rather arrogant.

Her face was still expressionless. When Lu Ran saw her like this, he realized the problem. It was the young man at the interrogation table.

"This case doesn't need you anymore. I'll handle it myself," Lu Ran instructed Chief Zhang.

At that moment, Chief Zhang's back was already drenched in sweat. Thinking of how he had treated them previously in order to impress Ji Shu, he felt that he was done for.

The Ji family was nothing in front of Lu Ran. He left angrily.

After Chief Zhang left, Lu Ran looked at Ji Shu. "Tell me, what happened?" His voice was calm, but Ji Shu did not dare to meet his gaze.

But she was the daughter of the Ji family. Why would she be afraid of just a police officer?

"He stole my tickets." Ji Shu pointed at Lin Xiao.

Lu Ran looked at Mo Zhu and turned to look at Lin Xiao kindly. "Do you have any explanation?"

"I didn't," the young man said.

"Does Ms. Ji have any evidence?"

"Evidence? Ain't the ticket I have evidence?"

"Are you sure this ticket is yours, Ms. Ji?"

"Of…" Ji Shu blurted out, but when her eyes were on the ticket in her hand, it suddenly stopped there.

This, this ticket was actually a VIP ticket, and there were only ten VIP tickets in total. She did not manage to get them.

Before this, she had never seen this ticket before, and she naturally thought that they were hers.

At this moment, her expression changed.

"What's wrong, Ms. Ji? Did you discover that the ticket is not yours?" Mo Zhu, who had been silent all this while, suddenly spoke. She had a smile on her face, but it didn't feel like one to the others.

"This ticket isn't mine, but he still stole them. So what if I had taught him a lesson?" Ji Shu calmed down quickly. She was the daughter of the Ji family. So what if she taught a classmate a lesson? Would the Ji family let the police bully her?

"I gave him the ticket. Does Ms. Ji have any objections?" Mo Zhu stood up slowly.

"Since Lin Xiao hasn't stolen her ticker, can we leave?"

"Of course."

Lu Ran signaled the police officer to bring Lin Xiao out. "Jiang Xun, send Lin Xiao back."

Jiang Xun glanced at Mo Zhu and brought Lin Xiao out. Only Mo Zhu, Ji Shu, Lu Ran, and a police officer were left in the room.

"Ms. Ji has started a rumor and hurt someone, how should we deal with this?"

Lu Ran glanced at the police officer, and he replied, "Administrative detention for five days."

"What? You want to detain me? Do you have any idea who my dad is?" Ji Shu yelled at Lu Ran and the others.

"I need to make a call. Let me make a call." Ji Shu looked at the police officer.

"Let her make the call!" Lu Ran instructed before he left with Mo Zhu.

"Thank you for today."

"Ms. Mo, please don't stand on ceremony. We are the ones who should thank you." Previously, he and his team members were at their wits' end trying to catch a criminal. It was Mo Zhu who suddenly appeared and located the criminal's location, allowing them to rescue the hostage successfully. The hostage was one of their team members, and Mo Zhu was their team's savior.

In the police station, when Ji Shu called the Ji family, her father was furious that a small police station had dared to detain his daughter!

He immediately sent someone to the police station to redeem Ji Shu.

The Ji family arrived at the police station and when the receptionist heard that the person they wanted to bail was Ji Shu, she directly told them that they could not bail her out. All she mentioned was that someone from higher ranks had come.

When Father Ji heard about this, he immediately gave Chief Zhang a call. However, Chief Zhang didn't pick up after a long time. It was after a long while when the call was finally picked up.

"Chief Zhang, what do you mean by this?" Father Ji's voice was filled with anger. Chief Zhang had become the chief police officer with a lot of help from him.

"Mr. Ji, it's not that I don't want to help you, but I really can't. I've already been transferred."

"What?" Those two sentences were all Chief Zhang said before hanging up.

On the other side, Mo Zhu's phone rang.

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

It was a warm male voice on the phone. "Are you here?"

"I'm sorry, I had something urgent to attend to. I just settled it." Mo Zhu had almost forgotten about her promise.

There was a long silence on the other end of the line. "Then let me come and pick you up."

Mo Zhu looked at the time and was about to reject him. "Can you not reject me? I've been waiting for a long time." A voice came from the other end of the phone.

Mo Zhu did not continue speaking.

"Ms. Mo, do you have something on? I can send you there," Lu Ran waited for Mo Zhu to hang up the call before looking at her.

"It's alright."

"Okay then."

At the entrance of J City, other than Ji Shu, Fang Ran and the others from Class One had already arrived. They were in the school's car, and there were only the three of them in the huge car.

Fang Ran had just gotten off the car when she saw another car following behind them. It also had the logo of Jingyang High School. This car was actually filled with people.

Fang Ran was shocked. The whole class had gotten tickets? How was that possible? Their class had only gotten three tickets.

Just then, Zhang Qi and Li Shen got out of the car. The people from Mo Zhu's class? Fang Ran had some impressions of them.

Zhang Qi and the others also saw Fang Ran and the others. "Aren't they from Class One? There are only three of them. Why are they so miserable?"

"Yeah, everyone in Class Eight has tickets."

"Everyone in Class Eight has tickets?" A girl beside Fang Ran exclaimed.

Because of Yang Rong, Class Eight and Class One were often compared. In Yang Rong's eyes, Class Eight couldn't compare to Class One in any way, so naturally, the students of Class One thought so too.

Usually, Class Eight wouldn't be able to get tickets for such events. However, why did all of them have tickets for the competition when it was so hard to buy them?!

"Did Young Master Jiang give them to you? He's so awesome, isn't he?" The girl who exclaimed previously, continued speaking, her tone was full of admiration for Jiang Xun.

Fang Ran noticed Xu Qing's expression and shot her a glance. However, she was very curious about this too.

"If it's not Young Master Jiang, is it Sister Mo?"

Sister Mo? Fang Ran immediately thought of Mo Zhu, but she immediately rejected the thought. Could it be that there's another person with the surname Mo in Class Eight? Furthermore, she sounds like she's admired by everyone in Class Eight.

As it was almost time for the competition, Zhang Qi did not say much.

Everyone from Class Eight alighted from the car and walked in front of Fang Ran and the others. This was the first time they felt proud.

Once they entered the location, the two groups separated.

The tickets that Mo Zhu gave them were all consecutive numbers. The people of Class Eight sat together.

"Why isn't Young Master Jiang here? Sister Meng isn't here either." They knew that Mo Zhu didn't come with them, but logically speaking, they should all be here.

"Why don't you call and ask?"

"Sure, give Young Master Jiang a call."

On the other hand, Fang Ran, and the others had their tickets numbered separately, so they could only sit in different seats.

There was a sea of people inside. The people from Jingyang High School were considered one of the later ones who entered. The atmosphere of the arena was very lively, and Fang Ran could not hear what the people around were talking about.

Finally, when it was almost time for the competition, the spacious arena suddenly became quiet. The fans of Essence Soul were just that united and tacit, because that person was the Essence Soul!

The fans held their breaths, waiting to watch the Essence Soul's competition. However, they heard the organizer announce that the competition was delayed.

The arena erupted into chaos instantly.

"What happened?"

"Hurry up, I want to see the Essence Soul!"

"It's almost time!"

The people from Class Eight felt the same way. At the same time, they also felt the terror of the fans of the Essence Soul. If the organizers did not let the Essence Soul appear, it was as if the arena was going to be torn apart.

Just as the fans were panicking, someone appeared in the middle of the arena. It was the Essence Soul's manager, Jiang Kun.

"Everyone, quiet down." Seeing that it was the Essence Soul's manager, the fans also quieted down.

"I'm sorry to tell everyone that the Essence Soul can't appear in the arena temporarily because of some matters, and he doesn't want to hide it from everyone either. The Essence Soul is going to fetch a very important person. If that person doesn't come for the match today, it will be a huge regret of the Essence Soul for a very long time."

Someone very important?'

The audience broke into another uproar. It was a very important person to the Essence Soul?

What kind of person would that be?
