Chapter 311 - Three Years in Langye (XI)

Chapter 311: Three Years in Langye (XI)

Liu She and Jiang Pengji had been staying at the Feng residence for quite a long time, but the friends had to part eventually.

As time flew by, the two families had to part.

“Lanting, you have to be more careful in the future in Langye Academy. Think twice before you do something. Don’t be radical.”

Thinking about Jiang Pengji’s gender, Feng Jin wanted to sigh. If his good friend was a guy, he would have accomplished great things.

It was a pity that she was a girl. She naturally had to be bound by her gender. That made Feng Jin take pity on her.

“Okay. Do you think I look like the kind of person who stirs up trouble?” Jiang Pengji replied innocently.

Feng Jin was silent for a while and responded frankly, “Yes, you do!”

Xu Ke, who was standing off to the side, almost laughed. He grew to become fonder of Feng Jin, who was frank, outspoken, and honest.

Jiang Pengji glared at Xu Ke sulkily. “You’re favoring an outsider instead of someone on your side.”

Liu She was responsible for Huijun. He would get someone to teach Huijun all kinds of skills like lyre-playing, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and familiarize her with rules and manners. Liu She had already received the appointment letter for him to go to his appointed post in Chongzhou; he had to leave in a few days. Of course, Jiang Pengji could not go with him.

Therefore, before leaving, Liu She specially gave Master Yuan Jing a generous gift and officially requested him to take care of Jiang Pengji.

She was there to study, not to enjoy life. Hence, only two people were going to Langye with Jiang Pengji: One was Taxue, and the other was Xu Ke.

As for the servant who would look after her, she could find a middleman to make arrangements for her when she arrived in Langye.

“I feel very reassured about you. Don’t pressure yourself too much when you’re studying in Langye.” Looking at his daughter who was slowly growing up, Liu She’s heart was filled with emotion. “Master Yuan Jing has great talents. You have to learn from him. If you don’t understand something, ask. Don’t feel embarrassed or think that you’re troublesome… If there’s any inconvenience in life, get someone to send me a letter immediately. You mustn’t make yourself suffer…”

Liu She was not a sentimental person. However, looking at his daughter, he felt that his heart was not at ease. He had just one child. She was Amin’s only descendant.

No matter how Liu She rambled on, Jiang Pengji listened to him obediently.

The next day, after saying goodbye to Feng Ren and his wife, as well as Feng Jin, Jiang Pengji sat in the carriage. The groom gently waved his whip and the wheels of the carriage turned.

Liu She got into a carriage as well. He had a much bigger squad than that of Jiang Pengji. There were hundreds of guards with him.

Chongzhou was currently in an unstable state. Who knew if one would encounter something dangerous along the way? A great number of people would increase his safety.

What about Jiang Pengji? She could fight a group of people by herself, so she did not need any protection at all. Hence, she refused Liu She’s suggestion of assigning a guard to her.

Jiang Pengji suppressed her unnecessary emotions and took one more glance at the Feng residence, where she had stayed for quite some time. She let go of the curtain and her facial expression changed into its usual indifference.

Leaning against a support, she read for a short while. When she got bored, she looked up at the bullet screens of the streaming to pass time.

The audience in the streaming room had been affected by the snowstorm awhile ago. They were not in a very good mood. Most of the bullet screens were greetings and there were very few showy comments. Jiang Pengji scrolled through the comments and sneered coldly.

She was in a bad mood, so the System was not in a good state, either.

“System, I suddenly remembered something. Do you think that the streaming room is a bit strange?”

The roads in the affluent neighborhood of Shangjing were very smooth, but her carriage also had an awesome shock absorption system. As a result, she barely felt any vibration while sitting in the carriage.

After things had ended on a sour note between the System and Jiang Pengji the last time, the System had been silent for a few days. At that moment, Jiang Pengji took the initiative to speak to it. It felt somewhat anxious and that nothing good was going to come from it.

“What’s missing?” the System asked her.

Jiang Pengji looked as if she was not paying attention while scrolling through the bullet screens. She started scrolling backwards from that day.

Due to her excellent memory, she read through the comments ridiculously fast. She was quicker in scrolling through the bullet screens than turning the pages of a book.

“I remember that you told me before that your full name is Multidimensional Court Intrigue Stream. The streaming room is being broadcasted in the non-feudalistic era, but even in the interstellar era that I live in, the dimension theory has been pursued by scientists as one of their research goals,” Jiang Pengji replied coldly. The System was startled and did not dare to make a sound. It wanted to erase its existence badly.

“If there was suddenly a streaming platform that popped up in a cross-dimensional streaming room in the dimension that I’m in, and its existence was confirmed…” Jiang Pengji tilted her head. A sneer hung on the corner of her lips, which made the System shudder. “Would a normal government machine or a powerful influence that has a certain right to speak be completely indifferent? I’ve scrolled through the bullet screen records for so long and I don’t notice anything abnormal…” Jiang Pengji said it lightly, but it was like a clap of thunder when it rung in the ears of the System.

After intimidating the System, she sighed and said, “Can you explain why?” She had always been highly suspicious and wary of the System. Why was that? It was because the System was not worth her trust at all.

There were too many suspicious things going on in secret. She would be a fool if she believed them.

If she had not probed the System a few times and confirmed that the audience in the streaming room really existed and the streaming room really did connect to another dimension, she would have suspected that audience members were fake. The so-called multidimensional, livestreaming System was an illusion self-directed by the System.

The dimension was real, but the important contents of the bullet screen were missing. Jiang Pengji could not help but suspect that the System was manipulating things behind the scenes.

Any bullet screen involving the official influence of the dimension had been completely cleared by the System in secret… It was either that or people did not have the right to enter the streaming room and they could not post any bullet screens. What was the System trying to do?

After a long silence, Jiang Pengji thought that the System was pretending to be ignorant. The System then gave an explanation. “Your livestreaming level is too low, so you don’t have the authority. Besides, the theme of the livestream is court intrigue. Your mission is to do a streaming on how to have a court intrigue. From an aristocratic lady, you’ll become the queen who reigns the world. Therefore, you need audience members that are interested in this, not a group of opportunists with ulterior motives. As a System, I have to make checks strictly to ensure the viewability of the streaming,” the System explained coldly.

It added, “As a System, my duty is to guide you to the right path. Anything that has nothing to do with the mainline and elements that affect the viewability of the audience in the streaming room must be removed. Therefore, the official forces from that dimension can’t enter the streaming room and are even more incapable of sending leading content to you. In this regard, you can carefully look at the livestreaming agreement that you signed at the beginning of all of this.”

The System was businesslike and followed the rules and regulations. Jiang Pengji could not do anything to it. Jiang Pengji secretly snorted.

Anyway, there was only one System. It could make up its own stories.

No matter what the System said, she did not believe it.

Jiang Pengji snorted and replied, “It’s good this way, too. Anyway, I don’t like to deal with strange forces.” She had the ultimate control over her own life. No one could intervene.

The System secretly heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing her words.

After a long time, the groom stopped the horse. The carriage stopped in front of Master Yuan Jing’s residence.
