She Doesn't Know How to Get Along with Her Classmates

Morning sunlight streamed through the carriage window, falling across the faces of the two people seated by it.

Ning Weiyang and Goreya sat on opposite sides, while Xia Qiu and Jiang Qingning sat between them.

Ever since Ning Weiyang had boarded the carriage, Xia Qiu and Jiang Qingning had been watching her and Goreya.

Goreya did not say a word. He was nothing like the young second-generation official they knew.

Ning Weiyang had actually been a little surprised when she saw Goreya after boarding the carriage.

She remembered that Goreya had previously said he did not want to go. Logically speaking, if he did not want to, Meng Shenji and the others would not have forced him.

Could it be?

Was he a spy?

Ning Weiyang pursed her lips slightly, her gaze settling on Goreya.

Goreya sensed someone staring at him and instinctively met Ning Weiyang's eyes.

After only a single glance, Goreya immediately looked away and shifted aside. As though he had seen someone terrifying, he looked extremely uncomfortable.

"..."

Ning Weiyang smiled faintly.

This was exactly the effect she wanted.

But then again, Goreya was so stupid. If they made him a spy, would he not sell out his entire family?

Most likely, they were simply sending him out to gain some experience.

Ning Weiyang dismissed that unrealistic speculation.

The atmosphere in the carriage remained somewhat heavy.

Yet that heaviness came from Goreya and the others. Ning Weiyang did not feel anything of the sort. She was quite relaxed, occasionally poking her head out the window to take in the fresh air.

When she got hungry, she opened her sachet and took out the flatbread she had bought yesterday, eating it wrapped around shredded cucumber and chili sauce.

"Grrr..."

A rumbling stomach suddenly sounded inside the quiet carriage.

The atmosphere turned awkward.

Xia Qiu and Jiang Qingning both looked at Goreya.

Without question, Goreya was the hungry one.

Goreya's cheeks reddened as he awkwardly covered his stomach.

He had fallen out with his family over the past two days and had come without even eating breakfast, so naturally, he had not brought anything to eat.

He deliberately pressed a hand over his stomach, wanting only to suppress the rumbling.

But the more he tried to hold it down, the louder it seemed to grow. Goreya wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.

Ning Weiyang ignored him. She could not be bothered to let her sympathy overflow.

After finishing her flatbread, she leaned against the carriage and closed her eyes to rest.

Xia Qiu and Jiang Qingning silently looked at Ning Weiyang, unable to stop themselves from grumbling inwardly: How cold-blooded and heartless!

Then, the two of them took out some food and shared some with Goreya.

As Jiang Qingning ate, she deliberately raised her voice. "We're all students of the same academy, so of course we should help each other. But some people never treat us like their own and don't even know how to get along with their classmates. What an oddball."

"Exactly. The three members of the Education Committee told us before we set out that we needed to help one another, but some people just treat the Education Committee's words like they're nothing. Who knows what that's supposed to mean."

Xia Qiu chimed in from the side, smiling with her eyes. Her low laughter carried clearly, mixed with a hint of provocation toward Ning Weiyang.

"A piece of trash with only level-three Innate Soul Power thinks she deserves to ride in the same carriage as us?"

Listening to the two of them, Goreya suddenly found the flatbread in his mouth tasteless.

He silently hugged his food and turned to the side, refusing to involve himself in the war between the three girls.

Though taking someone's food left him indebted, Ning Weiyang was far scarier than those two girls.

Meanwhile, in another carriage.

There were two teachers accompanying them: a female Soul Saint from the assault system and a male Soul King from the auxiliary system.

The two were a couple, as well as Meng Shenji's friends.

As noon approached, they opened their meal boxes and began eating.

"Say, do you think something might happen if we leave those four together?"

"What could happen? It's not like they can flip the carriage over, right?"
