Return of the Phoenix Lady

"It's you! We meet again!" the boy said again.

"Who are you?" Although this guy is very handsome, Han Xing can't remember when he had seen him before!

"Don't you recognize me? Oh, by the way, where's your brother Liu Yun? Why didn't he come to school with you?" Liu Yun? Brother Yun? Isn't that the alias he used when he was a kid and went to the brothel with his brother? He... he's that little boy! Oh, what was his name? Ah! I remember now, Juetian!

"Your followers haven't come either! Juetian!" I didn't expect that after so many years, he still remembered me.

"Haha! Xinghan, you're still as interesting as you were when we were little! Where have you been after all these years? Where on earth have you been? I've been searching for you for so many years, but to no avail.

"I went out with some friends to gain experience. I haven't seen you in years, and you've truly become even more handsome." His face seemed meticulously sculpted, with a straight, beautiful nose and lips the color of cherry blossoms. The perfect curve of his lips seemed to perpetually smile, a smile that seemed to pierce the clouds and shimmer with sunlight, gentle and at ease. He was tall and elegant, and a gleaming black-gold ring on his finger hinted at his extraordinary nobility. His whole person exuded a natural air of nobility and distinction.

"By the way, were you involved in yesterday's incident?" Jue Tianyi asked with a hint of meaning.

"That's me!" Han Xing admitted frankly.

"Haha! Xinghan, you are so amazing! You have only been in the academy for one day, and you have become a celebrity here." Juetian teased.

"Haha!" Han Xing smiled embarrassedly.

"Juetian! So you are here!" A deep, magnetic male voice came from the door.

Mu Juetian turned around and said with a smile, "Yang, why are you here? Do you want to talk to me about something?"

Han Xing stared without blinking at the tall and handsome man who walked in from the door. He had an expressionless handsome face, a height of about 1.8 meters, a slender figure as straight as a benchmark, a healthy wheat-colored complexion, and a slightly tight black dress that showed off his perfect figure. His flaxen hair was so beautiful that it was astonishing. He had sharp eyebrows, and under his long drooping eyelashes, there were deep eyes that sparkled like black crystals. He had a high nose bridge, thin but tightly pursed lips, and a sharp and cold look. The temperament he exuded was so complicated, like a mixture of various temperaments, all of which showed nobility and elegance, but also had his own unique ethereal and handsomeness.

"Brother Yang?" Han Xing couldn't help but murmur, Brother Yang, is that you?

"Huh? Xinghan, do you know Yang?" Mu Juetian, who was closest to Han Xing, was surprised when he heard Han Xing's name.

The man who approached gave Han Xing an expressionless look, then parted his thin lips and said coldly, "Who are you? Do we know each other?"

Han Xing unconsciously took a step back, her watery eyes widened, and a look of surprise rarely seen in a century appeared on her little face.

"Are you Liu Hanyang?" Han Xing thought. Perhaps this person just looked and sounded like Brother Yang. After all, they hadn't seen each other for years, so a mistake was inevitable. Or perhaps, she had changed so much that Brother Yang couldn't recognize her, which was why she was so cold to her.

"Yes!" The affirmative answer made Han Xing feel so uncomfortable. Why? Even after all this time, she could still recognize Brother Yang at a glance, but he couldn't recognize her anymore? What was going on?

"I feel like your good brother has become a little different since you left!" Bai Li's words suddenly flashed through Han Xing's mind. Oh, right, Bai Li! He might know what's going on! Wen Feiye said that Yunyou seemed to be coming back soon. I'll have to ask him about it when the time comes!

"Xinghan, when did you get to know Yang?" Mu Juetian asked as he looked at the two people with strange expressions.

"...Not really. He's so famous, so of course I've heard of him." Han Xing thought for a moment and replied. Since Brother Yang didn't recognize her now, that was fine. It would save her a lot of trouble.

"Oh, so that's how it is. Let me introduce them to you again! Yang, this is a friend I knew when I was a child, named Xinghan. Xinghan, this is the first friend I met after I went to school, Liu Hanyang." Mu Juetian said concisely, without mentioning any personal identities, for fear of causing estrangement between Han Xing.

"Hello!" For some reason, Liu Hanyang felt a little unhappy when he saw Han Xing's attitude towards him suddenly become unfamiliar and polite. He didn't have any objection to calling him "Brother Yang".

The more he thought about it, the more unhappy he felt. His expression became colder and colder, and a cold aura emanated from his body. He only nodded slightly at Han Xing in response.

Although Han Xing pretended not to care on the outside, she was still very sad in her heart. When did Brother Yang become so cold to her like a stranger?

"Yang, this is the freshman who 'bullied' your sister!" Seeing that the two were deadlocked in silence, Mu Juetian could only find a topic to talk about.

"What do you mean by bullying? I wasn't bullying her. I just wanted to teach her a lesson so that she wouldn't go too far. Otherwise, if something big happens, it will be too late!" Han Xing pouted dissatisfiedly.

"You are such a bold boy. You have no strength or power, but you dare to scold her in public and challenge her? What if you lose? Will you really drop out of school?" Mu Juetian looked at Han Xing's cute little movements, resisted the urge to hug him, and said.

"I won't lose! She's the one who has to drop out!"

"Challenging someone higher than your level is no joke. Although Liu Hanyue is willful and capricious, she is also quite strong. You can't beat her with your current strength." Mu Juetian didn't want to see Han Xing drop out of school, so he couldn't help but worry.

"Don't worry! I have a plan! Haha!" He smiled a big, bright smile, and immediately stunned both men and women. Isn't the "all-male" person referring to a disaster like Han Xing?

Liu Hanyang has been standing next to Mu Juetian, as if he doesn't care about anything, but if you look closely, you will find that his eyes drift towards Han Xing from time to time. Seeing him chatting happily with Mu Juetian and seeing his beauty fascinated others, Liu Hanyang suddenly felt very unhappy, but he could do nothing. He didn't like this feeling of powerlessness, so he left the cafeteria without even saying hello.

But he didn't see that the moment he turned around, the bright smile behind him froze for a moment, and the dark eyes as bright as stars flashed with sadness, helplessness and loneliness that shouldn't have appeared...

After lunch and saying goodbye to Mu Juetian, the four of them walked on the way to the training center.

Shui Luochen had been holding back a lot of words, and finally he could vent them: "Han'er, why didn't you tell me that you knew the Crown Prince of Mu Kingdom? And, why is that Liu Hanyang so rude? He actually ignored you. But, Han'er, tell me, do you know him? You can fool Mu Juetian, but you can't fool me!"

"......" Han Xing could only remain silent in the face of Shui Luochen's noise.

"Han'er! Tell me quickly! How did you get to know Prince Mu? Also, what is your connection with Liu Hanyang? Don't be silent! Tell me quickly! I'm really curious! Han'er..." Shui Luochen kept pestering Han Xing with questions.

"There's nothing to say. If we don't hurry up, we'll be late!" Han Xing said unbearably.

"Ah! That's right! Training is about to start, let's go! Go!" Han Xing breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Shui Luochen finally stopped pestering her with questions. But her chest was still stuffy and uncomfortable.

Brother Yang, will you still remember Xing'er? Will the lost warmth ever come back?
