Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 1789: Chapter 1769:

”Speaking of which, the current monthly assessment has become a mystery; we have no idea what will happen.” He Wenyu looked at Luo Qianqian, feeling frustrated. ”The old... uh... the teacher told me that there used to be outdoor projects, but now, because of us, the back mountain has basically been closed. So, even he doesn’t know what exactly we’ll have to do now.”

”Just go with the flow. After all, we still have Long Tu.” Luo Qianqian appeared calm, as ’God of Killing’ wasn’t just a fancy title, was it?

When they first enrolled, Long Tu had the most lives on his back, even if Luo Qianqian and Di Jun shared some of the burden; he was still the one with the most, and no amount of time could erase it all.

Although those events happened two months ago, they left a significant shadow in people’s minds.

At least a lot of people knew there was one person in the Freshman Yellow Class not to be messed with. After all, his reputation spread as soon as he entered the academy, and even upperclassmen regarded him with respect.

The academy doesn’t stop students from fighting amongst themselves, but there are protective measures for new students. In their first three months, new students are protected, and no one is allowed to challenge them. Because of this, they’re not even allowed into the arena.

So right now, no one wants to go up against freshmen, and there’s no one among the freshmen willing to provoke Long Tu either.

Among the freshmen, only Luo Qianqian and two others are special because they’re exiles. How can those exiled be the same as others?

In terms of abilities, it indicates these three belong in the Heaven Class, yet they are in the Yellow Class.

This means the Mystery Class cannot provoke these three individuals.

In terms of unity, as long as He Wenyu is present, the Yellow Class remains a whole.

But if someone targets He Wenyu, Luo Qianqian will not sit idly by, and if Luo Qianqian takes action, Long Tu and Di Jun will join in.

Most importantly, He Wenyu is the Vice Dean’s disciple, so no one dares to challenge his authority!

Therefore, the cohesion of the Yellow Class will not break unless someone manages to tempt its members with benefits.

However, in this academy, the background of each individual doesn’t matter.

After all, what they rely on are Glory Points, which cannot be bought; they can only be earned in the academy, nothing else.

The biggest way to earn Glory Points each month is through the monthly assessment, which determines how many Glory Points they can use each month.

At least last month, the Yellow Class had the most Glory Points. This is undeniable.

”Shiqi, I’m starting to feel a bit excited.” He Wenyu suddenly raised an eyebrow at Luo Qianqian, chuckling. ”I’m really looking forward to seeing the expression of the Mystery Class. After all, not every class has such confrontations; our two classes have had friction for some time.”

”I want to see it too. Oh... is it too bad to say this? Let’s keep it between us.” Luo Qianqian smiled as well, lowering her voice. ”But speaking of which, compared to the academy issues, the matters over here are more concerning.”

Looking around the room, her face was full of worry. ”Actually, thinking about it, having Brother Jiayou with her isn’t bad. They have a child together, and since she can’t have more, she’s bound to treat Nianan sincerely, without any ulterior motives.”

”In that sense, there’s nothing wrong with it. It just feels a bit cruel.” He Wenyu nodded. Without children of their own, one would genuinely care for the children of someone deceased; there’s no doubt about that.

”That’s right. I even feel some strangeness about the wound’s location. Maybe it was intentional...” That suspicion had been there since the wound was discovered.

Normally, for a woman’s wound, the opponent should at least be significantly taller. The direction of the wound should be slanted downward from inside to outside, which is normal.

However, when she disinfected the wound, she found the wound slanted upward from inside to outside, which makes sense only if the opponent was shorter than Cong Ying or when Cong Ying was above and someone below harmed her.

But such likelihood seems very low.

Most importantly, if it was a self-inflicted wound, this kind of wound would be slightly possible.

But there’s no reason to treat oneself like this; the wound could be fatal if it infected, right?

However... something still feels off because Cong Ying was wearing soft armor, which couldn’t be easily pierced. The wound fell right under the protection of the soft armor, and it wasn’t at the connecting part. Such a wound indeed raises suspicion.

”I wouldn’t be dumb enough to intentionally harm myself.” He Wenyu shook his head repeatedly, hinting at the room, full of sentiments.

Luo Qianqian nodded in agreement but said nothing.

Because, if He Wenyu loved to the extreme, he might indeed do something foolish, right? Back then, he picked a fight with her over someone unworthy, and they didn’t speak for a long time, effectively ending their friendship.

Luckily, that’s over now.

But if such events repeated, could she really maintain her current mindset? Would she not do anything?

When people aren’t pushed to the brink, who knows what they’ll do?

Luo Qianqian understood this very well, so she said no more.

Speaking up would only be an argument without purpose.

”You guys...” Qin Nuan approached with food, looking at the two, ”If they really end up together, would they tell Nianan the truth?”

If they’re not together, Lin Nianan would naturally ask about his mother’s whereabouts, slowly perceiving something.

But if he has a happy family, maybe not.

If he doesn’t ask, would the couple say anything?

”If out of love for the child, they surely wouldn’t. As long as they don’t, he remains a child with a complete family, happy and content.” Luo Qianqian contemplated for a moment before speaking.

It sometimes feels like not knowing the truth is happiness.

”But, if it’s out of a desire to avenge the Eldest Princess...” He Wenyu furrowed his brows. Ultimately, they couldn’t know for sure.

”I think if he has the capability, perhaps he’d reveal the truth, right?” Luo Qianqian paused before continuing, ”And when Nianan grows up, will the Southern Li Emperor be the current Southern Li Emperor? Maybe... Huangfu Yanyao or Huangfu Yihui might have overthrown the Southern Li Royal Family.”

”Speaking of which, those two are also uncles.” Qin Nuan nodded in agreement.

However, it’s likely that this child may never learn that his surname is still Huangfu.

A surname from the Southern Li Emperor isn’t something ordinary people can have, is it?
