Learning and Returning to the Country

Day one.

It was a chaotic mess.

Li Wei and Jiang Xue came to blows the moment they disagreed. Well, it was mostly Li Wei initiating the physical activity, completely subduing Jiang Xue.

In any case, in the span of a day, Li Wei had only barely managed to recognize Jiang Xue's social circle.

Nearly a hundred people in total...

If not for "Muscles and Bones Ringing in Harmony," Li Wei's brain would not have improved so much.

Just distinguishing the little red hearts next to the photos of her "besties" that indicated the closeness of their relationships would have been enough to make her want to die right then and there.

Fortunately, the food at lunch and dinner was excellent. Li Wei tasted the specialty of this world for the first time – mutated beast meat.

The taste was quite good, and after eating it, her body felt warm and comfortable.

Through the butler's explanation.

She also learned for the first time that mutated beasts and Abyssal Monsters were not the same thing; one was edible, and the other was not.

Moreover, in the two hundred years of High Martial, wild mutated beasts had long been wiped out. Now, only artificially bred species remained.

Day two.

The etiquette class, which made Li Wei want to collapse, began...

As carefree as she had been in beating Jiang Xue yesterday, she was just as clumsy learning etiquette today.

While Li Wei practiced walking with a dictionary on her head and wearing high heels, weaving and wobbling.

Jiang Xue moved a stool and sat nearby, laughing.

This time, she had learned her lesson and only laughed, refraining from any taunts, lest she find herself with a sword at her neck again.

Jiang Xue admitted she was afraid of death. She wanted to live very much, preferably for a long, long time.

She was just purely curious to see how far this play staged by the Gu and Jiang families would go.

Day three.

"Silver Brilliance Holy Mark Knight Academy" sent a document.

It contained Jiang Xue's transfer permit, academic transcripts, and a principal's recommendation letter.

As Gu Jinzhi's "fiancée," "Jiang Xue" would be transferring back to the country to continue her studies at Imperial Capital Qingyun Martial University.

The original host had worked herself to death for three years just to get into Anhe Martial University.

This one, however, had managed to directly enter the number one martial university in the country in one fell swoop...

Even though it was all an act, it was still quite ironic.

What shocked Li Wei even more was that the photo on the document was of herself!

Were foreigners also cooperating with the Gu family to falsify documents?

Day four.

The embassy sent Jiang Xue's reissued passport, and similarly, the photo was Li Wei's.

When she received the small booklet, she was somewhat numb.

Even a "crippled" Martial Immortal family like the Gu family had this kind of influence.

What would the truly top powers be like?

Day five.

Mrs. Sterling, the head housekeeper who also served as the etiquette teacher, was in despair.

She complained to the butler, believing Li Wei was "the only one capable of turning champagne into a sewer stench."

Jiang Xue laughed heartily when she heard this evaluation...

As a result, she also started practicing the "Nine-Point Wall Method" with Li Wei, a look of suffering instantly appearing on her face.

Day six.

Li Wei finally stopped slipping when wearing high heels, and she no longer instinctively covered herself or clamped her legs when wearing a skirt.

Her smile no longer showed her gums, and when she picked things up, it no longer looked like she was practicing the Dragon Claw Hand.

The butler breathed a sigh of relief, feeling he had not failed the lady's entrustment.

It was fine if the young madam's voice was a bit louder, or if her expressions were a bit abstract when excited...

At least, now, she looked somewhat like a woman.

Day seven.

The main entrance of the manor's main building...

The "Knockoff Bankruptcy Version Jiang Family Eldest Miss Beauty PROMAX Summer Limited Edition" boarded the black luxury car that had been waiting for a long time, surrounded by the butler and maids.

If you can't find the book by searching the title, you can try searching for the author, maybe they just changed their name!

Li Wei lowered the rear window, trying her best to force out a smile that she had practiced countless times and considered dignified and proper, waving goodbye to everyone.

Before the car started, she casually looked up and happened to catch sight of Jiang Xue in the second-floor hallway window, staring at her with a sinister gaze and a mocking smile.

Li Wei made a throat-slitting gesture with her hand, patted the golden ring on her waist, and glared back, raising an eyebrow.

Jiang Xue's face darkened, and the curtains were instantly drawn shut.

New Imperial Capital, International Airport, Arrivals Hall.

The crowd surged.

Jiang Han held up a piece of cardboard with "Jiang Xue" written in large letters, shaking it occasionally with an impatient expression.

After a while, seeing no sign of her, he irritably thought about throwing the sign away.

Suddenly, a commotion erupted in the crowd ahead.

"Holy crap, look, is that girl a celebrity?"

"Incredible! So beautiful!"

"Hiss... I'll have material for my dreams tonight..."

Jiang Han frowned and stepped back a few paces. With his 1.9-meter height, he looked over the dense crowd and froze.

He saw a girl walking gracefully, pushing a suitcase and wearing strappy sandals.

Her raven-black hair spread like mist over her shoulders, the ends curling slightly in a lazy arc.

A light blue dress clung to her slender figure, its waist tie hanging carelessly, making her look like a fairy from a painting.

She seemed oblivious to the surrounding gazes, her starry eyes scanning the hall. They brightened quickly, and she walked briskly towards Jiang Han.

Jiang Han instinctively hid the tattered sign behind his back, ran his hands through his hair a couple of times, and habitually curved his lips into a roguish smile.

Then, he heard the girl speak.

"Oh my, my foolish younger brother, why are you here to pick me up?" Li Wei's opening instantly dispelled all the romantic atmosphere.

"Who are you?"

Jiang Han reflexively replied, but upon closer inspection of her features, her tone, her demeanor...

"Holy crap, Jiang Xue! Did you get plastic surgery???"

He bent down abruptly, his eyes almost touching Li Wei's face, looking her up and down with an extremely strange expression.

Li Wei pushed his large head away with disgust. "Plastic surgery my foot! Let's go, are you standing here to be gawked at like a monkey?"

Only then did Jiang Han notice many people around them holding up their phones and snapping pictures of them. His face immediately flushed with embarrassment.

He couldn't lash out at ordinary people, so he snatched Li Wei's suitcase, grabbed her arm, and pulled her outside.

They reached the parking lot and stopped beside a garishly pink supercar.

Jiang Han lifted the front hood, intending to put the suitcase in.

But the supercar's front trunk was incredibly small. He tried several angles, but the suitcase just wouldn't fit.

"Why did you bring so much junk?" he turned and complained irritably.

Li Wei remembered Jiang Xue's "Rules of Sibling Interaction" and immediately retorted:

"You show up in a beat-up sports car to pick me up, and you have the nerve to talk about me?"

Jiang Han: "..."

He held his breath a few times, but couldn't contain himself.

Without another word, he directly unzipped Li Wei's suitcase and dumped all its contents into the front trunk with a clatter.

As for the empty suitcase... he casually tossed it into the nearby trash can.

"Jiang Xue, it's been four years, and you're still as annoying as ever! Get in the car!" Jiang Han got into the driver's seat and slammed the door shut.

Li Wei got into the passenger seat, suppressing the urge to touch everything. She mimicked Jiang Xue's cold laugh and said, "Same to you."

Vroom! Vroom! Vroom!

Jiang Han deliberately stomped on the accelerator a few times. The roar of the engine drew angry glares from surrounding travelers.

Only then did he shift into gear, turn the steering wheel, and the car shot out like an arrow with a stylish tail-out drift.

"Holy crap! Slow down! Are you trying to kill someone!" Li Wei shouted instinctively.

"Oh?" Jiang Han glanced at her. "When did our Eldest Miss Jiang start caring about other people's lives?"

Li Wei: "..."

Britain, Lakeside Manor.

Jiang Xue lay by the edge of her bedroom bed, gazing enviously at the wild ducks on the water, her expression inexplicably serene.

"Miss," the butler's voice sounded from behind her, "it's time for us to depart as well."

"Oh..." Jiang Xue responded obediently.

She took a deep breath and picked up the luggage she had prepared by her feet.
