Also, many thanks to everyone who bought me coffee (*???*)

Thirty minutes later, the top beauty of Canglan Women's Academy appeared at the polo field of Lingbo Academy, wearing a veil and holding the hand of a little dark kid.

A large group of prestigious guards swarmed towards them!

"Young Miss Gu! My young master has already arranged a viewing stand. Please come with me!"

"Young Miss Gu! My young master has also set up a viewing stand! Please follow me!"

"Young Miss Gu!"

"Young Miss Gu!"

Xiao Heng held up a piece of paper: "Where is the viewing stand for Tianqiong Academy?"

A well-dressed guard raised his hand, "Here! Here! The viewing stand reserved by my young master is right next to Tianqiong Academy!"

The polo field of Lingbo Academy was constructed with considerable care. The viewing stands on both sides were slightly elevated, providing a relatively open view. The front and back ends had ordinary stands with only benches and no canopies. The closer to the center, the better the position, and the more lavishly decorated the stands were.

The viewing stand that the guard led them to was, without exaggeration, the best spot in the entire venue. It was spacious and bright, with jade-bead curtains hanging down on all sides, resembling an elegant and luxurious pavilion.

"Wow."

The three female students who came along with Xiao Heng were stunned.

This was quite a lavish setup!

Inside the pavilion, servant girls were already waiting. When they saw Xiao Heng leading Little Jing Kong over, two of them hurriedly opened the front curtain from the inside, "Young Miss Gu, please come in."

Xiao Heng and the others entered.

It already looked luxurious from the outside, but inside it was even more opulent, offering things they could hardly imagine.

Several low tables were already set up, and a faint incense was burning in the corner's censer. This was to combat the potential heat and the odor from the polo field, showing how thoughtful the arrangements were.

The three female students marveled again at the thoughtful and meticulous arrangements.

"Who is your young master?" one of the female students asked a servant girl.

The servant girl approached with a tray of fresh fruits. She arranged them and replied with a smile, "My young master said, as long as the young ladies are happy, there's no need to worry about who he is."

Young ladies?

The three female students were delighted, realizing they were included in the generosity.

Actually, the original words of their master only mentioned Young Miss Gu, but the servant girl knew how to handle things.

The fruits were chilled, and one bite dispelled the heat from their bodies.

Xiao Heng and Little Jing Kong sat together, while the other three female students sat together, leaving another empty low table. Little Jing Kong quickly ran over and claimed it for himself, giving him one and a half tables.

The jade-bead curtain at the front of the pavilion was raised, while the other three sides remained down, providing shade without blocking the breeze.

"It's so cool here." said one of the female students.

"Yes." the other two nodded with smiles.

It seemed like they had made the right decision to seek out Gu Jiao, otherwise, how could they have gotten such good seats?

Xiao Heng, however, wasn't concerned about the seating arrangement. From the moment he entered, he had been looking for Gu Jiao.

He wasn't sure if Gu Jiao would attend since he had never heard of her playing polo, but he still came to try his luck, however slim it might be.

He didn't see Gu Jiao, but he immediately spotted Gu Xiaoshun and Gu Yan sitting diagonally across from him.

They were seated next to Dean Cen, receiving special attention, while the other students sat in the open-air stands.

Seeing Gu Yan, Xiao Heng almost confirmed that Gu Jiao was here. Otherwise, with Gu Yan's health and temperament, he wouldn't come to watch the excitement for anyone else.

Gu Yan and Gu Xiaoshun were on Dean Cen's viewing stand, which had a canopy overhead, but it couldn't compare to Xiao Heng's pavilion. They didn't have chilled fruits to eat either.

Soon, Little Jing Kong also spotted them.

"Yay, yay, yay!"

Big Brother Yan! Big Brother Xiaoshun!

Little Jing Kong was so excited that he started jumping up and down, "I, I, I want to go... play!"

“Little Young Master, where do you want to go? Shall I take you there?" a servant girl asked gently.

"I'll go by myself!" Little Jing Kong said as he dashed out. Halfway through, he turned back, picked up the chilled fruits from the table, and said to his "bad brother-in-law," "I'm leaving!"

He wanted to take the fruits to Big Brother Yan and Big Brother Xiaoshun!

Xiao Heng didn't stop him.

He and Gu Jiao couldn't be seen interacting openly, but Little Jing Kong was naturally sociable and wouldn't arouse suspicion wherever he went.

Besides, it was indeed quite hot.

Xiao Heng looked at the fruits on the table; Little Jing Kong's hands were too small to carry more.

His eyes followed Little Jing Kong until he managed to make Dean Cen laugh heartily, successfully mingling with their group. Only then did Xiao Heng look away and focus on the activity on the polo field.

The polo match was about to start, and he wondered when Tianqiong Academy would take the field.

In the pavilion outside the polo field, Teacher Wu had just returned from drawing lots to the Tianqiong Academy's private room.

Gu Jiao and Mu Qingchen, along with others, had already put on their protective gear and were wiping their mallets.

"It's the third match." Teacher Wu said.

"Who are we up against this time? Is it Wuyue Academy?" Yuan Xiao asked.

Yuan Xiao was a student of Mingfeng Hall and was a native of the State of Yan's Shengdu. He was a defender alongside Zhao Wei from Mingyue Hall, who was from the State of Yan's Qidu.

Teacher Wu replied, "Wuyue Academy is in the seventh match. We're up against Qingyue Academy this time."

At the mention of Qingyue Academy, everyone except Gu Jiao and Mu Qingchen became unsettled.

Yuan Xiao sighed, "Why is it Qingyue Academy? I'd rather face Wuyue Academy!"

Gu Jiao looked at Mu Qingchen in confusion.

Mu Qingchen paused and explained, "Qingyue Academy has students from the imperial polo team."

Gu Jiao responded, "Oh."

Mu Qingchen gave her a deep look and asked, "Aren't you scared?"

Gu Jiao raised an eyebrow, "It’s not like they’ll beat me up."

Mu Qingchen: "..."

Her argument was so logical that it left Mu Qingchen speechless.

"Zhao Wei, what's wrong?" Teacher Wu noticed something was off with Zhao Wei.

Zhao Wei clutched his stomach, looking pale, "I... I think I ate something bad."

Gu Jiao walked over, took Zhao Wei's wrist, and checked his pulse, "What did you eat this morning?"

Zhao Wei, enduring the abdominal pain, recalled, "I had two buns..."

Gu Jiao pressed on his abdomen, "Does it hurt here?"

"No, it doesn't."

"How about here?"

"Not there either."

"You indeed have an upset stomach." Gu Jiao concluded, retracting her hand. She took out a bottle of medicinal powder from her first aid kit and handed it to him, "Swallow this with water."

Zhao Wei took the medicine.

Meanwhile, the first match had already begun.

Lingbo Academy faced Mangshan Academy, with Lingbo Academy emerging victorious.

The second match was between Hongfeng Academy and Wutong Academy, and Wutong Academy won.

"It's our turn." Mu Qingchen said to Gu Jiao.

PLEASE CHECK OUT OUR NEW PROJECT:

Description:

In the suspenseful supernatural novel “Records of Mortals,” Jiang Baiyan, once a solitary and impoverished youth, finds refuge in the Shi family of Chang’an due to his extraordinary bloodline. With his clear and captivating peach blossom eyes, this seemingly innocent young man conceals a fanatical and malevolent lunatic within. Destined to succumb to darkness amidst hardship and degradation, he becomes a harbinger of chaos.

When Shi Dai suddenly transmigrates, she takes on the role of the Shi family’s young lady, the one who subjects him to countless trials, eventually leading to her demise.

The twist? She never got to finish reading the novel.

From what she knew of the plot, Jiang Baiyan was just a silent, timid, and often bullied pitiable character.

***

Jiang Baiyan had never encountered someone like Shi Dai.

After he had slaughtered all the evil creatures in the garden, the blood-stained young man, exuding a murderous aura, approached her step by step, his lips curling into a malicious smile, "Scared?"

Shi Dai responded, “You’re really amazing! I applaud you until I spin like a spiral and fly around the moon three hundred times! And also——you have dimples when you smile!"

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

—

After seeing her at a lantern festival with another man, Jiang Baiyan lowered his eyes, his fingers twirling her hair. He said in a mocking and sinister tone, "The mansion in the western suburbs...if I hide you there, no one will find you, right?"

Shi Dai replied, "Does it come with meals and lodging? Can I sleep in everyday? Oh, and your cooking is the best!"

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

—

Jiang Baiyan was supposed to dislike her, even hate her, but as their separation drew near, his eyes turned red and he grabbed her sleeve, pleading, "Don't abandon me, alri—”

Shi Dai responded, "Alright, alright, I’ll only have you. Mwah."

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

He hasn't finished his lines yet though…
