Qiao Chu and the others were still painfully oblivious to the strange atmosphere in the Zephyr Academy. They were too preoccupied with being shocked by Jun Wu Xie’s sudden and astounding transformation!
Nangong Xu was the one who finally managed to recover adequately after the series of consecutive shocks to his old heart and noticed Qiao Chu and his companions. Remembering that they had been present at the Battle Spirits Forest that fateful day, he strode quickly up to them and said to them: “The few of you, come.”
Qiao Chu rubbed his nose and all of them followed without a word.
Nangong Xu brought them to come stand right before Jun Wu Xie, and struggling to maintain his calm, he said to Jun Wu Xie: “Miss Jun, these disciples were also present at the scene that day. If there is anything you need to ask them, please ask.”
The four of them in Qiao Chu and gang stood ramrod straight, stiff as wooden blocks before Jun Wu Xie.
In such close proximity, Qiao Chu was feeling rather woozy.
Jun Wu Xie narrowed her eyes and swept her chilling gaze lightly over Qiao Chu and the others.
Qiao Chu almost swooned.
“Long Qi.” Jun Wu Xie said suddenly.
“Here, Young Miss.”
“Bring these four, I want to interrogate them slowly.”
When Nangong Xu decided to bring Qiao Chu and the others over, he had thought it might soften the tense atmosphere a little, seeing that Ning Xin’s execution had so unnerving. He had not expected Jun Wu Xie to still want to pursue the matter so strongly and was capturing the four disciples for her for interrogation.
Water that has been thrown, milk that has been spilt, can be retrieved. As were his words.
He felt like slapping himself hard. The issue could have been resolved there and then, and who knew what his superfluous actions might lead Jun Wu Xie to stir up further?
Long Qi nodded, but he turned back when he spotted Yin Yan who was still kneeling near Fan Qi’s feet and asked Jun Wu Xie: “Young Miss, what do we do with this one?”
Having been pointed out, Yin Yan suddenly shivered. Having witnessed how the Rui Lin Army had punished Ning Xin, he had completely lost his courage. When he found himself being singled out by Long Qi, he immediately fell over into a dead faint, foaming at the mouth from fright, his body in spasms, writhing on the ground.
Jun Wu Xie barely cast Yin Yan a glance and just said: “Bring him as well.”
Long Qi picked Yin Yan up without a moment’s hesitation, grabbing him easily by the collar, like he would a kitten.
Without another word, Jun Wu Xie turned and began to walk out. Long Qi dragged the unconscious Yin Yan and followed closely behind, while Qiao Chu and his companions trailed behind them.
Soon, only the overly startled people from the Zephyr Academy were left.
Jun Wu Xie and stepped out through the Zephyr Academy gates with all the others and immediately mounted their horses to ride off kicking up a cloud of dust. The Rui Lin Army soldiers who were blocking the gates quickly turned and kicked their war mounts into a gallop after them.
The dark clouds that loomed over the Zephyr Academy began to gradually disperse and the heavy hearts held by the Zephyr Academy’s disciples slowly lost its weight.
“Everyone disperse.” Fan Qi gave out a burdened sigh. Everything that had happened today had completely worn him out.
The disciples amassed by the gates of the Zephyr Academy started to disperse, many still dazed. It seemed like many of them would be haunted by nightmares that very night.
Compared to Ning Xin and Yin Yan’s fate, those disciples who were expelled earlier might have been most fortunate.
The Rui Lin Army did not go far after leaving the Zephyr Academy. They had instead stopped within a tiny woods, and set up camp.

Chapter 611: “You’re too “Hawt” & Beautiful (3)”
The moment Jun Wu Xie dismounted from her horse, she went immediately into a tent that had been erected at the side to change into a fresh set of clothes. By the time she came out of the tent, Qiao Chu, Hua Yao, Fei Yan and Rong Ruo were already standing outside, waiting patiently for her.
“Meow?” The black cat was sprawled upon Jun Wu Xie’s arm, swishing its tail leisurely, as it stared lazily at Qiao Chu and gang, who were giving Jun Wu Xie rather strange looks.
Jun Wu Xie tilted her head in bewilderment as she looked at her four companions. Their actions seemed normal, but the way they were looking at her was very different from before.
“Little Xie?” Qiao Chu looked at Jun Wu Xie hesitatingly, speaking with great caution.
“Hmm?” Jun Wu Xie raised an eyebrow.
Qiao Chu suddenly felt a warm surge in his nose. He hurriedly clasped his hands over his nose, tilted his head up to look at the sky, and run away in a fluster to the side.
Jun Wu Xie’s was completely baffled, her eyes filled with uncertainty.
“What is wrong with him?”
Fei Yan had been feeling rather nervous. But after seeing Qiao Chu’s antics, he suddenly burst out laughing.
“Pffft….. Dumb Qiao is just acting stupid as usual. Just ignore him.”
Rong Ruo shook her head in helplessness before she looked at Jun Xie, “I wouldn’t have thought that Little Xie had such a big surprise for us.”
“Surprise?” Jun Wu Xie frowned slightly. “You guys came too late.”
“Too late?” Rong Ruo was puzzled.
“Ning Xin was already dead.” Jun Wu Xie said in all seriousness.
She had intended to treat Qiao Chu and the rest to a good performance but regretfully, they did not arrive in time.
“No….. Not Ning Xin…..” Rong Ruo wanted to laugh as she looked at Jun Wu Xie. The petite little girl was usually very sharp with her wits, but in some certain aspects, it was a wonder how unbelievably dense she could be.
“Not her?” Jun Wu Xie did not understand. She had thought that the surprise Rong Ruo had mentioned was her punishing Ning Xin. Rong Ruo did not know whether she should be laughing or crying, and she just pointed at Jun Wu Xie’s face.
Jun Wu Xie raised her hand to touch her face, but did not seem to find anything wrong.
Seeing their very own Heaven defying little devil in such a rare display of slow wittedness, Rong Ruo suddenly doubled up in laughter.
“My dear Young Miss! You’ve misunderstood me!” Rong Ruo was still laughing as she lifted Jun Wu Xie’s face with her hands. They were both girls and she did not see the need to be inhibited.
“With such a face that can destroy cities and bring down nations, why did you make yourself look so ugly?” Rong Ruo laughed as she spoke. In fact, Jun Wu Xie was not ugly after altering her looks, and could still be considered delicate and attractive. It was just that after seeing her real looks behind that mask, her disguised self could not compare at all, not even a little bit.
Jun Wu Xie was surprised. As intelligent as she was, she had not for a moment considered that what Rong Ruo’s words were talking about, was her looks.
Destroy cities and bring down nations…..
The phrase that she had only heard used by others swam in Jun Wu Xie’s mind, in both her past and present lives, she had never once thought to link those words to herself.
In her mind, whether a person was beautiful or ugly was not a consideration she used to judge people.
As a doctor, no matter who she was looking at, she viewed them with an eye based on how good or bad person was dissected. In regards to how they looked on the outside, she couldn’t really care less.
Her own face, she had seen it countless times, and she did not see that it was any different from others.
“See, when you reveal a face like yours so suddenly to us, you have really frightened our dumb Qiao out of his wits!” Rong Ruo said with a laugh, finding Jun Wu Xie extremely adorable at that moment, acting just like a ignorant and naive kid, her expression utterly confused.
Compared to Jun Wu Xie’s usual cold and logical personality,
Rong Ruo found the stark contrast just too endearing.
“I wasn’t frightened!” Qiao Chu exclaimed, while squatting on the side still holding his nose.
With that loud cry, the nosebleed he had tried so hard to stop suddenly surged once more, and flowed back down his throat. The sudden taste of blood in his mouth gagged him and he almost spurted the blood out!

Chapter 612: “You’re too “Hawt” & Beautiful (4)”
Rong Ruo was laughing out aloud.
With her face held in Rong Ruo’s hands, Jun Wu Xie’s was frowning slightly, her face still befuddled.
She still did not understand what was going on or what had just happened.
A genius and an idiot were just differentiated by what they knew. At most times, Jun Wu Xie was an unparalleled genius, but in certain aspects, she was just one big ignoramus.
“Say, if that bunch of creeps at the Zephyr Academy were to see Little Xie allowing her face to be pinched and kneaded being by Rong Ruo like this, I wonder what would their reaction will be like?” Fei Yan smiled mischievously as he looked at Jun Wu Xie’s baffled look. If not for the fact that they were of a different sex, he would have gone over and pinched Jun Wu Xie’s tiny face as well.
The little lass was really just too adorable for words!
“They will just all go mad.” Rong Ruo said smilingly.
The fact that the very same Jun Wu Xie who had tortured and killed Ning Xin before the eyes of the entire academy in a gory display would allow Rong Ruo to pinch her face so carelessly would definitely be too drastic a difference for the disciples to accept.
Brushing her fingers over Jun Wu Xie’s soft cheeks, reluctant to let go, Rong Ruo was feeling rather emotional. If she had been a guy, her reaction might have been a lot worse than dumb Qiao.
The soldiers of the Rui Lin Army were standing guard at the perimeters of the camp. For a distance, they were able to see their own Young Miss acting so “intimately” with the group of youths, and their eyes almost fell out out their sockets.
A few of them who were more brusque, drew their swords fully intent on cutting off those offending paws of Rong Ruo’s but were made to back off meekly upon seeing the chilling stare Long Qi was giving them.
The soldiers who got stared at retreated to a corner and squatted together drawing circles on the ground with their fingers in complaint. “Young Miss was being defiled by that little brat, how could the General not do anything….. Are we to allow our Young Miss to be abused like this by a bloke like that?”
They were heartbroken, their Goddess had been desecrated by someone and they weren’t even allowed to to go chop up the blasphemous culprit….. How could the Heavens allow it! ?
Long Qi ignored the group of men whose hearts lay broken in pieces scattered over the ground. He only remained in his spot and turned to look solemnly at Jun Wu Xie with Rong Ruo and the others, and only his eyes showed a rare moment of laughter.
If the Duke and His Highness were to see this scene, it might put their minds a little bit more at ease.
It was only after Rong Ruo and the others was done with appreciating Jun Wu Xie’s face that Jun Wu Xie was able to escape. It was not that she disliked Rong Ruo’s touch, but it was just that she did not how to react.
She rubbed at her cheeks that were still slightly pink under Rong Ruo’s abuse. While Rong Ruo and Fei Yan were still laughing, she walked over sit down upon a rock.
Long Qi came over at that moment, his face stern, unaccustomed to jokes.
“Young Miss.”
“Hmm?” Jun Wu Xie was still holding her hands over her cheeks as she looked up. The redness on her skin had slightly faded and now tinged her snowy white complexion a slight pink. The clear eyes on the raised face seemed to have lost a little of the usual cold and distant chill, looking at that moment, very much just like an innocent young girl, a little bumbling and coy.
The words in Long Qi’s throat were suddenly stuck. He remained stiffened there a long moment before he hurriedly drew in a deep breath, to quell that sudden thumping of his heart.
He was finally just beginning to understand why the reactions of those youths had been so intense.
The face of their own Young Miss, was really able to deal such an immensely deadly strike!
“Cough, your subordinate would like to ask our Young Miss. What should we do with the disciple we brought in from the Zephyr Academy?” Long Qi composed himself and carried out his duty.
“Bring him back. Hand him over to my Uncle.” Jun Wu Xie said nonchalantly.
Yin Yan might be a little dumb, but his knowledge in the Spirit Healing Technique was still adequate. She had already gotten Gu Li Sheng’s affirmation in regards to this.
All the disciples in the Spirit Healer faculty, although not considered outstanding, but out of all of them there, Yin Yan was considered to possess the highest gift for it.
The Spirit Healing Technique would be very useful to the Rui Lin Army, but as Jun Wu Xie was still not able to return to the Qi Kingdom, she decided she could put Yin Yan to good use.
Who should be kept alive, and who should be disposed of, Jun Wu Xie knew it clearly in her mind.
Volume 7
Chapter 613: “Finally Missing Me? (1)”
People like Bai Yun Xian and Yin Yan who were timid and easily cowered, only needed her to exert adequate pressure and they would be docile and be at your beck and call. As long as they are watched properly, they would not stir up problems. But people like Qin Yu Yan and Ning Xin, must not be kept alive. Even if you could suppress them for a time, their vicious hearts would ultimately lead them to scheme and plot how they would be able to get out of the quandary.
“The Spirit Healing Technique is useful. As to how it is to be used, my Uncle will know what to do with it.” As Jun Wu Xie spoke, she pulled out two medical prescriptions and handed them to Long Qi.
“One is poison, one is medicine. Hand them to Mu Chen to control Bai Yun Xian and Yin Yan. Mu Chen will be able to produce them.”
When she had left the Kingdom of Qi, she had only provided Bai Yun Xian with a half year’s supply of antidote. The time was approaching and if she was not provided with the antidote, Bai Yun Xian would die. Other people might not be capable enough to produce the kind of elixirs and poisons developed by her, but Mu Chen would at least be able to accomplish that.
Long Qi received the items and kept them securely. Jun Wu Xie had never missed a thing in her calculations and was extremely meticulous. He knew he only needed to carry out the orders as instructed.
“Duke Lin and His Highness has words for me to convey to our Young Miss.” Long Qi said after a short pause.
Jun Wu Xie’s eyes lit up.
“The Duke and His Highness said, that our Young Miss must put her safety as priority in all her actions. And that they will be waiting for our Young Miss to return home back at the Lin Palace.” Long Qi voice had suddenly become rather gentle.
Jun Wu Xie lowered her eyes, trying to suppress the longing in her eyes.
“Alright, tell my Grandfather and Uncle to rest assured.”
Long Qi nodded, and silently retreated to one side.
Within the woods, the crisp wind was slightly cool as it brushed Jun Wu Xie’s cheeks, bringing with it the emotions of longing in her heart.
The surroundings became still and quiet. Jun Wu Xie’s head was lowered, as she recalled all that had happened in the Lin Palace from before.
Uncle, Grandfather….. and Jun Wu Yao…..
“What are you thinking about?” A voice heavily tinged with mirth suddenly sounded behind Jun Wu Xie, a voice she found so familiar.
Jun Wu Xie raised her head, greatly startled. In the next moment, she found herself enveloped into a warm and comforting embrace. The familiar scent went up her nostrils, and that smell made her tremble slightly.
“Was my Little Xie thinking of me?” A slightly devilish laughter sounded beside Jun Wu Xie’s ears and the warm bre
ath tickled the sensitive skin at her neck.
Within the encampment, all was deathly silent, all eyes were turned, concentrated on the tall figure who had enveloped Jun Wu Xie into a full embrace.
Rong Ruo stood up startled, staring hard at the mysterious man that had previously made her feel so helplessly oppressed with his aura.
In the middle of the dense woods, the incredibly and flawlessly handsome man hugged the flawlessly beautiful girl, and they both just stood there quietly, as specks of the sun’s rays peeked through the thick canopy of leaves overhead, falling like glittering stars, looking as though the starry sky had descended on Earth, to shine and twinkle, upon the two figures.
“Big brother…..” Jun Wu Xie opened her lips slightly, calling out the form of address that had appeared before in her dreams.
A series of deep laughter, intoxicated with joy, rumbled from right behind Jun Wu Xie. The man turned the tiny Jun Wu Xie around and slightly lowered his head, pressing his forehead to Jun Wu Xie’s, his eyes half narrowed with laughter.
“Little Xie can actually recognize my voice, I really like that.”
A devilishly handsome smile that was able to make the Heavens and Earth lose their lustre was suddenly imprinted deep in Jun Wu Xie’s eyes. Jun Wu Xie’s eyes widened slightly, as her startled gaze took in those perfectly formed features.
“What? Looking at me like this. Don’t tell me, Little Xie has really missed me so badly?” Jun Wu Yao said mischievously, taunting his startled and frozen little darling.
Volume 7
Chapter 614: “Finally Missing Me? (2)”
Jun Wu Xie’s eyes blinked a few times, but she did not make a sound and just fell into Jun Wu Yao’s embrace, just like a hurt little animal, seeking comfort from the familiar scent.
Jun Wu Yao’s smile on his face froze a moment. Jun Wu Xie sudden display of reliance put him into a momentary loss of what to do. The pair of small hands were grasping at his clothes tightly, her soft body pressed onto his expansive chest, the two figures joined in an embrace.
