Chapter 274: Ji Shan Hot Spring (IX)

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

“Tsk, tsk. I was wondering who you were. Turns out you are the famous Fenger Langjun. The trace of your lineage is really easy to find.”

Jiang Pengji walked to the side of the verandah, which was separated by a pond that Feng Jin was sitting. They were conversing loudly across the pond.

Feng Jin felt wronged. He did not know that Jiang Pengji would be in Shangjing at that time. If he had known about it earlier, he would definitely have not come to the hot spring with his classmates.

Looking over the fence, he unexpectedly saw a familiar figure. He thought that his vision was blurred. He did not expect that it was really his friend.

“I haven’t seen you in a few months. You’re getting better at smooth-talking. Don’t falsely accuse me of any wrongdoings.” Feng Jin smiled. At that time, his classmates beside him shouted at him. Feng Jin then said to Jiang Pengji somewhat apologetically, “Sorry, Lanting. We’ll chat later.”

Jiang Pengji finished saying hello and saw that Wei Ci was looking at Feng Jin’s back coldly.

“I just met a close friend. Continue to lead the way, Wei Langjun.”

Wei Ci stopped staring and did not say a word.

One after the other, they soon arrived at Room Tianzi No. 1 in the Rose Garden.

“Come here, Lanting. This is Master Yuan Jing. Learn from him in the future. Remember, don’t be stubborn and mischievous.”

Liu She’s chess skills were not bad, but he was still lacking compared to Yuan Jing. He lost the game outright. However, he did not feel dispirited and embarrassed.

When Wei Ci brought Jiang Pengji there, the chess game was as good as lost, so Liu She simply shifted his attention.

Master Yuan Jing said to Jiang Pengji, “We meet again, little friend.”

“Hello,” she greeted lovingly, and said to Liu She, “Don’t worry, Father. I know.”

At that time, Wei Ci, who was talking to his classmate in a low voice, glanced at her out of the corner of his eyes. He then shifted his view quietly.

Was it not enough to torture Liu She when Yuan Jing’s enthusiasm for chess came up?

“I’ll just call you Lanting.” He shifted his view towards Jiang Pengji and asked, “Can you play a game of chess with me?”

“Your wish is my command.” Jiang Pengji did not know how to play chess, but Liu Xi had learned it before. Although his chess skills were not that great, his basic skills were very strong.

Inheriting Liu Xi’s memory, of course, she “knew” how to play chess.

The start was so miserable that the two onlookers, Feng Ren and Liu She, could not stand watching the game. They wished they could roll up their sleeves and play the game themselves.

Liu She was even more suspicious. The chess skills of his daughter should not have been that poor. What did Wei Yuan teach her?

Surprisingly, Master Yuan Jing seemed to be a beginner. His chess moves were messy and people could not figure out what he was thinking. As a person who played chess, Jiang Pengji understood that he was guiding her on purpose.

Jiang Pengji could not help but grow more serious about the game. She carefully reviewed Liu Xi’s memory in her mind. After familiarizing herself with it, she then used her own methods to make plays. Her speed in moving the chess pieces was getting slower and slower. In the end, she even had to ponder for quite a long time before moving her chess piece.

Master Yuan Jing smiled slyly. The game had only just begun officially. Looking at the chess board, Master Yuan Jing smiled and said, “I won the game.”

Jiang Pengji pursed her lips so tightly that they almost became a straight line. There was fire in her eyes. “Let’s play another round!”

“No more, no more.” Master Yuan Jing shook his head, showing some fatigue. “I’m old. How can I compare my energy to that of you young people? If you want to play another round of chess, Zixiao’s chess skills are the best among the people here. You can play two rounds of chess with him.”

Jiang Pengji frowned and looked at Wei Ci. Wei Ci squinted his eyes a little and said indifferently, “I don’t feel too well, so I can’t play chess with you.”

Jiang Pengji did not say a word. She did not do anything to him. Why was he irascible?

Not only did Jiang Pengji feel surprised, but Wei Ci’s classmates who were close to him were also puzzled.

“What’s wrong with Zixiao today? Why does it feel as though he’s changed into another person?”

“You think so too? Could it be that Liu Langjun unintentionally made fun of his appearance?”

Although a man’s beauty standards were based on gentleness in this day and age, in general, the more effeminate, the better. They wanted their body to be so soft that one could be blown away by the wind, but there were people who hated that. Wei Ci was one of them. He hated it the most when people thought of him as a woman. He was even more disgusted when people made a fuss about his appearance... If Liu Xi made this mistake and was treated coldly by Wei Ci, it seemed to be plausible.

Jiang Pengji’s hearing was impressive. Of course, she did not miss their discussion. She was utterly confused as well. She only said that he was a good-looking person, at most. Why was he so angry?

However, she was not a credit coin, gold or silver. She could not expect everyone to like her. It did not matter if Wei Ci liked her. She would not lose anything anyway. Jiang Pengji left this detail behind after a short while and sat silently by the side, watching the people around her have fun.

The elders, Liu She and Feng Ren, were sensible. They knew that the younger ones would feel very restrained if they were present. They simply found an excuse and left.

However, Liu She gave his daughter a sign before leaving. Don’t give the game away!

“Do you know how to play the drinking game?”

Jiang Pengji was young. The others were either coming of age at 20 or were almost of the same age. She, a teenager, sat silently in the corner and watched the others play and talk. The situation was somewhat pitiful. Hence, someone took the initiative to start the conversation.

She stayed silent for a while and said, “I know how to drink.”

They laughed. “You’re so young. How can you consider yourself as someone who knows how to drink just by sipping two mouthfuls of wine?” The other party smiled and patted her shoulder. “We’re classmates in the future. After arriving at the academy, if there’s anyone troubling you, just say my name...”

She nodded shyly, her sparkling eyes wide open.

If the screen was captured, it was reckoned that the image could be named as, “Jiang Pengji’s lovely style.jpg.”

The drinking game was an activity to liven up the atmosphere in banquets and Jiang Pengji knew a few rules about it.

Every youth present was a grind. Even if some of them were not that smart, they were also the type who made up for their lack of intelligence with their hard work.

They played the drinking game. Of course, they played with difficult contents. Verses, ditties, odes, and songs, the four forms of poetry, were all tested. Discourse on politics were all over the place. The far-off and unfamiliar geographical knowledge, unwritten history, or biographies were all included... To put it simply, although she could not understand it, she felt that they were all very impressive.

Half an hour later, Jiang Pengji’s brain was stuffed with literary jargon. She rested her head on her hands, which were very icy.

Sensing that someone was nearing her, she turned her head and saw that the temperamental Wei Ci pushed a tray towards her. There were a variety of dried fruit snacks on it.

His eyelids drooped a little as he avoided Jiang Pengji’s eye contact.

Jiang Pengji was flabbergasted and asked, “Have I offended you?”

Wei Ci did not answer her question and continued, “I’ve heard about you from Wen Bin some time ago.”

Jiang Pengji was startled and quickly remembered the words she said to Han Yu in order to put him off.

She once lied to Han Yu, saying that she saw Cheng Jing and Wei Ci in her dreams. She even described Wei Ci as a beautiful woman.

Umm... Was it because of that?

She coughed awkwardly and said somewhat timidly, “That was just a misunderstanding. It was used to stall him...”

Sure enough, a lie required several lies to make up for it.

Wei Ci replied calmly, “It’s okay. Since you didn’t mean it, I won’t keep picking on you, of course.”

Jiang Pengji blinked her eyes secretly. There was a glimmer of light in her eyes.

It would be fine if Wei Ci did not explain it. The more he explained, the more she felt exposed.

Although that was what she thought in her heart, she responded lovingly on the outside.
