Chapter 2802 - 2803: Hopelessly Lovestruck
Chapter 2802: Chapter 2803: Hopelessly Lovestruck
In that moment, Yun Lingxuan felt her breath become a little labored.
She had racked her brains and tried every method to find the other Ancient Mirror fragments over the years, but to no avail.
Eventually, she had reached complete despair, believing that aside from the piece in her possession, the other fragments no longer existed.
Never did she expect that today she would hear about the other fragments from Xue An, and they were even larger than hers.
"Rea... really?" Yun Lingxuan, trying her best to suppress her excitement, asked tremulously.
Xue An smiled faintly, "Would I deceive you about such things?"
"Then... can I take a look at it?"
"Of course, but I found it cumbersome to carry it, so I gave it to my disciple. It’s currently at the inn!"
"Then let’s head back to the inn now!"
Yun Lingxuan couldn’t wait even a moment longer; after all, she had been enduring humiliation and working hard for this revenge for so long.
It was only today that she finally saw the glimmer of vengeance.
At this point, she finally believed what the teacher who taught her the art of qin had said.
Once she encountered someone who could break her strings, it would be the time when her wish would be fulfilled.
Thinking of this, Yun Lingxuan felt her whole body warming up with excitement.
Xue An could clearly see her excitement and couldn’t help but smile slightly.
"Alright then, let’s go back now!"
To return to the inn where Xue An was staying required passing through most of Xihua City.
Despite Yun Lingxuan’s urgency, she had no choice but to patiently sit in the carriage as it traversed through the city.
She was well aware that Tuan’er had flown over with Xue An on their way here.
But on the way back, she couldn’t just hold Xue An’s hand and fly like Tuan’er, could she?
Thinking of this, she sneaked a glance at Xue An sitting by the window.
At that moment, the light outside the window cast onto Xue An’s face, giving him a faint silver glow along his profile.
This wasn’t important. What mattered was that from Yun Lingxuan’s angle, she could see Xue An’s deep eyes.
Although he looked out the window, the aura he exuded made Yun Lingxuan’s heart miss a beat.
Over the years, she had encountered countless young talents, some even more refined and pleasant-looking.
Yet, not one could compare to the youth in white before her.
This young man truly seemed to be uniquely endowed by nature.
As Yun Lingxuan was lost in her thoughts, Tuan’er was already utterly captivated by Xue An.
When Yun Lingxuan finally calmed down a bit and saw Tuan’er’s entranced state, she couldn’t help but find it amusing and exasperating. She then quietly pinched her waist.
"Ah!" Tuan’er yelped and turned to Yun Lingxuan.
"Miss, why did you pinch me?"
The commotion caused Xue An by the window to turn his head over.
Yun Lingxuan felt her face heat up, "Ah, nothing. There was just a bug on your clothes, and I already pinched it dead for you!"
"A bug?" Tuan’er looked around the luxuriously adorned carriage, bewildered, and said: "There’s an Array here. How could there be a bug?"
Yun Lingxuan was so annoyed with Tuan’er that she clenched her teeth and said, "I said there was, so there was. Why all this unnecessary chatter?"
Seeing Yun Lingxuan’s embarrassed yet angry expression, Tuan’er finally realized something and quickly nodded.
"Yes, yes, indeed a bug crawled on me, and just as I wanted to swat it away, you pinched it dead. Thank you, Miss, you’re so good at pinching bugs!"
Yun Lingxuan: "...."
This dead Tuan’er, why bother explaining now! Isn’t it obvious? She thought angrily.
Sure enough.
Just then, Xue An let out a light chuckle, "A bug really did fly by just now!"
Yun Lingxuan’s embarrassed face turned rigid, just as she was about to say something.
At that moment, the carriage turned into a bustling district lined with dozens of academies, the most concentrated area of Xihua City’s Academy institutions.
The sound of spirited reading coming from the academies diluted the awkwardness in the carriage.
Xue An turned to look out the window.
Yun Lingxuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and then glared at Tuan’er fiercely.
Tuan’er shrunk her neck, chuckling awkwardly.
Of course, Yun Lingxuan wouldn’t really scold this little maid who was like a sister to her.
She was just a little annoyed at Tuan’er’s earlier swooning.
No matter how much you admire him, you can’t make it so obvious; you almost drooled!
Just as Yun Lingxuan was choosing her words to properly instruct Tuan’er, a clamor came from outside the window, and someone shouted loudly.
"Quick, quick, quick, everyone hurry to the Xiyue Inn, there’s a big commotion there!"
"What kind of commotion?" someone nearby asked.
"Haven’t you heard? That Xue An, who plagiarized poetry at the Lingan Literary Gathering, is already in Xihua City, staying at the Xiyue Inn! Now Senior Ke from the Jinhan Academy and Sister Shang from the Xingshi Pavilion, along with other seniors, are heading there!"
"What? That plagiarizing scoundrel dares to stay in our district, how audacious!" someone said coldly.
"Indeed, we must teach this country bumpkin a lesson!"
For a moment, emotions ran high outside, and the sound of footsteps was heard, clearly, these people were rushing to the Xiyue Inn.
The carriage was eerily silent; Yun Lingxuan felt her heart tighten into a knot.
She had witnessed Xue An’s skills first-hand, knowing that beneath the gentle exterior of the youth in white lay a soul that would never compromise.
If you didn’t provoke him, it was fine, but if you did, be ready for utterly brutal retaliation.
And these people not only spoke harshly but dared to approach and provoke him directly—wasn’t this akin to courting death?
Sure enough.
At that moment, Xue An’s lips curved slightly, a chilling smile appearing on his face.
"Interesting, daring to seek trouble with me, I’m curious to see what skills these people have!"
"Indeed! These people are simply too annoying, daring to slander you as a fraud, they must be taught a severe lesson!" Tuan’er said, her face red with anger, delighting in the potential chaos.
Xue An didn’t respond, but in the next moment, the carriage began to speed up wildly, dashing towards the Xiyue Inn.
At the same time, the street in front of the Xiyue Inn was indeed bustling with excitement.
Students from dozens of academies gathered outside, completely blocking the street.
At the center of the crowd stood a few individuals.
There were both men and women among them, all dressed impeccably, exuding an extraordinary aura.
The leader was a man wearing a moon-white princely robe.
He held a folding fan, standing placidly, his handsome face full of pride as he surveyed the inn before him.
