Ren Linna then said, “Anyway, just know that many people are gossipping about you. Our university is an elite school, and the students here are all elite students. Elite students excel in their academics, but they might not be good people. They might think that they are really exceptional people and can’t stand it if there are other people more brilliant than them.”

“They can’t stand it if there are people living a better life than them. And there are many people who gossip,” Ren Linna said.

“Because you were with Han Zhuofeng today, there will be many people guessing your relations.h.i.+p with Han Zhuofeng. And they’re probably saying really mean things about you,” Ren Linna said, “Let me tell you this so, you will be mentally prepared.”

“You know that they were previously gossiping about you. And now, with Han Zhuofeng’s existence, they will only say even meaner things,” Ren Linna said, “Therefore, you should prepare yourself. If you hear them saying mean things, don’t you tolerate them.”

“Yes.” Feng Yaqing nodded heavily and said, “Don’t let them be too idle. They were accepted by University of B City. Instead of improving themselves, they became jealous of others instead. If you meet anyone gossiping about you, just slap and scold them on the spot. People who gossip shouldn’t be given justice!”

!!

“Alright. I will remember that.” Xie Jiling nodded. She looked really serious as she noted down these lessons.

Ren Linna and the others froze.

They had never seen Xie Jiling argue with anyone.

Because the atmosphere in their school was really good. Everyone shared a harmonious and loving relations.h.i.+p with each other.

No one would bully Xie Jiling.

Aside from going to cla.s.s and spending time with these cla.s.smates, Xie Jiling would just leave for exorcism work.

She was being protected by her cla.s.smates as well.

If anyone dared to gossip about her, they wouldn’t do it in front of her.

And so, Ren Linna wondered if Xie Jiling even knew how to win an argument.

With regards to this, they had not much faith in Xie Jiling.

As such, Ren Linna said, “I think we should be with you at all times. If anyone talks bad about you, we will just scold them for you.”

Xie Jiling nodded. She really didn’t know how to do something like that.

However, Xie Jiling was a very inquisitive child.

Xie Jiling then said, “I will learn at the side. When I eventually learn to do it, I will scold them by myself in the future.”

Everyone: “…”

She really didn’t know how to curse people out.

“Then, we will find an opportunity to teach you.” Feng Yaqing said.

They didn’t ask Xie Jiling how she knew Han Zhuofeng.

Although Xie Jiling was very simple-minded, the things she would eat and wear had always been very expensive.

In addition, they knew how much Xie Jiling would charge outsiders for an exorcism commission. And they also knew that Xie Jiling’s family was very rich.

If Xie Jiling’s service was already that expensive, how much money could the Xie Family, which was known as the family of exorcists, had earned so far?

The Xie Family was a big family. It wouldn’t be weird for her to know Han Zhuofeng.

After they took their lunch break, they stilll had a cla.s.s topic group discussion to do.

They had to discuss in groups.

The members were grouped together at random. These groups weren’t formed based on friends.h.i.+ps.

And so, because of this random a.s.signment, Xie Jiling and her roommates separated.

Xie Jiling and Ren Linna were in a group. The others that were a.s.signed into this group were Zheng Binzhou, Zhang Tonglin, He Yuliang, and Feng Wenxian.

Although Feng Wenxian had never seen Xie Jiling exorcise…

However, He Yuliang and Chen Xing had took on the role of publicity coordinator and had told everyone the story of Xie Jiling exorcism acts.

The two had seen it with their own eyes as well. In fact, they had witnessed it happened two times.

And so, they described what happened in such a vivid manner.

They swore to the heavens that they saw it with their own eyes.

All the cla.s.smates believed it!

Feng Wenxian obviously believed it very much.

While the group discussion was going on, they took the chance and started talking about it.

However, Xie Jiling didn’t have much chance to speak.

Because Ren Linna was talking…

Ren Linna had been present back then!

She knew everything.

And so, Ren Linna started speaking for Xie Jiling.

Occasionally, Xie Jiling would add a few words for the things Ren Linna could not explain.

Xie Jiling thought this was good. It saved her a lot of energy.

After all, these things were considered strange and new to other people. However, to Xie Jiling, this was basic knowledge.

She didn’t know how to explain it.

When the group discussion officially started, they stopped talking and started working seriously.

When they were taking a break from the group discussion, Chen Xing approached.

“Did you guys tell Jiling?” Chen Xing asked He Yuliang and Zheng Binzhou.

“We haven’t gotten the chance.” Zheng Binzhou explained, “Why don’t you tell her?”

Chen Xing rubbed his hands and stared at Xie Jiling and the other girls. “Isn’t the Dragon Boat Festival holiday on the 10th? We will be getting three days off and an extra two days off because we won’t have cla.s.ses for those two days. We are thinking about using these five days to go out for fun.”

“Where do you guys want to go?” Xie Jiling had a bad feeling.

Considering how the boys were looking like they couldn’t wait to try something and couldn’t wait to do something that could potentially kill them…

“Ta Town.” Zheng Binzhou said, “The scenery there is magnificent and beautiful.”

Xie Jiling listened quietly until he was done talking. And then, she asked, “Are you thinking about going to the ghost town near Ta Town?”

The three immediately showed a surprised expression, conveying “how did you know?”

Xie Jiling was speechless.

Although everyone here was a top student, their acting skills were bad.

Their reaction was too dramatic.

“You all really wanted to go to the ghost town, right?” Xie Jiling asked.

“No. No. Definitely not. It’s just convenient to visit the ghost town as well.” He Yuliang said, “We just wanted to see the beautiful nature.”

Xie Jiling thought to herself. It would be absurd to believe anything they said.

“We just wanted to visit Ta Town. Since the ghost town is nearby, it would be a waste to not visit that place too.” Chen Xing said.

Zheng Binzhou said, “Jiling, since we will have nothing to do, let’s go together?”

“We have witnessed two exorcism events. Although we are curious, we really don’t dare to go there by ourselves. However, it will be different if you are with us. You can show us something new as well.” Zheng Binzhou said.

They were so persuasive even Ren Linna felt like going.

Kuang Xiaorou and Feng Yaqing were next door. They heard it and immediately joined the discussion.

“We want to go, too.” Kuang Xiaorou said.

Zhang Tonglin raised her hand and said, “Can I join as well?”

Feng Wenxian thought about it and decided that he would not be left out this time. He then said, “I want to go too.”

“Wait.” Chen Xing said, “Jiling never even agreed. What’s the excitement all about?”

“We are just thinking about it.” Zheng Binzhou said, “If Jiling goes, we would go. If Jiling won’t go, then we will cancel this trip.”

“It’s fine if there’s nothing. It won’t be good if there’s actually something there.” He Yuliang shook his head.

He was afraid and especially careful about the supernatural!

Xie Jiling smiled and said, “I’m going there. However, it’s because Han Zhuofeng is filming a scene outside Ta Town. He was worried that the film crew might encounter something, so he asked me to check the location.”
