Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
All students in the Ziyun class were the elites and geniuses. Most of them were bold and courageous. They did anything they wanted to do. Even the female students were blunt and assertive too.
Among the students, the most prominent was the twin’s sister - Le Zixing. This young lady was intelligent and qualified. Probably second to Yun Qingluo. She had very high requirements of her partner and was never attracted to any talented guy in her class. However, she had fallen for Di Fuyi.
At first, Le Zixing did not express her feelings because she thought that Di Fuyi and Gu Xijiu were in a relationship. Upon learning that they were just acting, she changed her mind. She approached Gu Xijiu to clarify, "Are you and Celestial Master Zuo just pretending?"
Lan Waihu answered on her behalf, "Of course! Gu Xijiu is sincere to Overlord Long, and she was just acting with Celestial Master Zuo. They explained it yesterday!"
Le Zixing was relieved and replied, "If this is the case, Xijiu, I want to chase after Celestial Master Zuo!"
Lan Waihu was shocked, "You want to chase after Celestial Master Zuo? It is complicated to date him! No one has done so before…"
Le Zixing laughed, "I would like to try regardless of how difficult it is. If I never try, I will never know." Therefore, after that day Le Zixing started to chase after Celestial Master Zuo. She never skipped any class that was taught by Celestial Master Zuo. She also aggressively answered all questions asked by him. Whenever she explained, she could relate it to another area too.
After a few classes, Di Fuyi also enjoyed asking her questions. She became Di Fuyi's favorite student. She also created all kinds of opportunities to meet with Di Fuyi. For example, she would pass by Di Fuyi's courtyard and play chess under Di Fuyi's favorite maple tree. She was good at playing chess, so she volunteered to play with Di Fuyi on a regular basis. Perhaps Di Fuyi was bored with playing chess alone. Thus, he did not reject her offer.
Le Zixing became competent with tea ceremonies, and she could brew tea very well. When she played chess with Di Fuyi, she would hand him a cup of tea that she brewed. Although Di Fuyi rejected the drinks she made, she would never get bored of doing it.
Di Fuyi was a master at playing chess. Even though Le Zixing was excellent and never lost to anyone else before, Di Fuyi would still beat her. Despite suffering defeat after defeat, she remained motivated to play with him.
There was once when Gu Xijiu and Lan Waihu passed by the maple tree and saw that Di Fuyi was playing chess with Le Zixing. Le Zixing just lost a match to Di Fuyi, and her face went red. Her sweat even dropped on the chess pieces. Di Fuyi casually passed her a handkerchief and said, "Wipe it." Le Zixing happily complied. Di Fuyi did not greet the two of them, but Le Zixing nodded to them as an acknowledgment that she saw them.
As Celestial Master Zuo was highly respected, everyone needed to go over to salute or greet him if they saw him. Lan Waihu ran over to salute while Gu Xijiu just bowed to greet. Di Fuyi tilted his head slightly to acknowledge but did not look at Gu Xijiu. He just replied, "You can go now." Thus, both Gu Xijiu and Lan Waihu left the place.
As Gu Xijiu and Lan Waihu left, they could still hear the conversation between Di Fuyi and Le Zixing. They were speaking about some questions from the lecture which Le Zixing wanted clarifications about.
