The Otherworldly Journey of a Quick Transmigrator

It seems that Wang Lantian was still afraid of Ma Wencai. He didn't dare to say anything after being pushed away, and silently went into the room with his page.

Zhu Yingtai watched Wang Lantian enter the room, then turned to look at Ma Wencai.

"He's sloppy?"

Ma Wencai looked disgusted, as if he had imagined something unpleasant, and he nodded slightly.

Su Yuanyuan chuckled. People with OCD only care about who is clean.

"Ninth Brother, let's go in too. The room needs to be tidied up."

She pushed Zhu Yingtai towards the room, and Zhu Yingtai turned her head and smiled apologetically at Ma Wencai.

Ma Wencai watched them enter the room before opening his fan and fanning himself a few times, a smile playing on his lips with interest.

He caught a glimpse of Wang Lantian in the room out of the corner of his eye, then quickly straightened his lips and walked into the room expressionlessly.

The next morning, Su Yuanyuan was pulled up by Zhu Yingtai. After getting ready, she followed Zhu Yingtai to the canteen with unsteady steps.

Zhu Yingtai chatted with her until midnight last night, and I don't know how she's so energetic this morning.

Su Yuanyuan didn't have much of an appetite, so she simply picked out a few side dishes and ate them slowly with some white porridge.

She watched as Liang Shanbo carried the food straight towards them and finally stopped in front of them.

"Can I sit here?"

Su Yuanyuan was puzzled. She glanced around and saw that there were plenty of seats available, but the four of them already filled the room.

She stared into Liang Shanbo's eyes for a while, until his gaze began to dart away. Such a clumsy excuse meant either he was stupid or he thought they were stupid.

Zhu Yingtai kicked her under the table. Su Yuanyuan looked away and pouted. It was true that she wanted to befriend powerful families, but unfortunately, the timing was obviously terrible.

Zhu Yingtai said to him with an apologetic look.

"There's no room here, Brother Liang, could you please find another place?"

After he walked away, Zhu Yingtai looked at Su Yuanyuan disapprovingly.

"What you just did made it very awkward for people to save face."

"With his lack of tact, do you think he'd understand unless I made it obvious?"

Su Yuanyuan took a sip of porridge. It wasn't that she disliked Liang Shanbo or anything; she just felt that he lacked tact.

"We'll be classmates for several years, so don't make things too difficult for us."

Zhu Yingtai nodded. She agreed with Su Yuanyuan's words, but since they would be classmates from now on and would see each other all the time, it wouldn't be good to strain their relationship.

"It's just that we have better tempers. Why don't you go to Wang Lantian and Ma Wencai?"

"Say less."

At this moment, Ma Wencai walked over and sat down next to him.

“I think Brother Jingxian is right. The reason he didn’t come to me is because he sees your gentle temperament.”

He finished speaking with a disdainful expression, and Su Yuanyuan bared her teeth.

"Who is your brother Jingxian? I'm not that familiar with you."

"Zhu Jingxian!"

Ma Wencai turned and glared at her. Zhu Yingtai helplessly tugged at her. Su Yuanyuan snorted and turned her head away. How annoying!

[Host, you seem a bit childish.]

The system's voice suddenly rang out, and Su Yuanyuan rolled her eyes inwardly.

[Am I as childish as you?]

[…Host, don't insult someone by revealing their weaknesses.]

【Oh! You actually know I'm insulting you?】

【…】

Women and petty people are the hardest to deal with. If you can't afford to offend them, can't you at least avoid them? The system silently shut its mouth and stopped talking.

Su Yuanyuan snorted. "All you ever do is go looking for trouble."

The first day's lesson was on the zither, one of the Six Arts of a Gentleman. Su Yuanyuan sighed inwardly. Her chess skills were only so-so. She wondered if there would be a test and if she would fail.

The teacher was speaking with great enthusiasm, while Su Yuanyuan was listening from below, feeling drowsy. She had already been poked several times by Zhu Yingtai.

After the class ended, Su Yuanyuan felt like she had survived a disaster. She lay on the table, letting her mind wander.

"I've been telling you to study hard for a long time."

Zhu Yingtai gently tapped her head with her fan, and shook her head helplessly.

Su Yuanyuan rolled her eyes. "How could I not study seriously? Of course I couldn't learn it!"

"Then how come you learned martial arts so quickly?"

Su Yuanyuan silently shut her mouth, muttering to herself, "Isn't there a one-click learning feature?"

Before they had even rested for a short while, the teacher came in and started having them play the instruments one by one.

When it was Su Yuanyuan's turn, she tried her best not to make a mistake.

Long, slender fingers slowly plucked the strings, producing a gentle and beautiful melody that was very pleasant to listen to. Suddenly, the music seemed to be enchanting, like the clouds and mist in the mountains.

When she started playing, the teacher nodded in satisfaction, but gradually his brows furrowed. He stared at her hands for a long time, and finally, unable to bear it any longer, he made her stop.

"Your technique is skillful, but you're too focused on craftsmanship. The music you play lacks emotion. You need to practice more."

Su Yuanyuan nodded obediently, indicating that she would practice more and that the teacher should stop talking.

Zhu Yingtai's glare was so intense it felt like she was going to pierce through her; she could already imagine that she would be lectured again soon.

After much persuasion, the teacher finally agreed to let her go, and Su Yuanyuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at the zither on the table and wondered why everyone said there was no emotion in her playing.

She felt it was very good; the music was beautiful, clear, and melodious, no different from what Zhu Yingtai played.

[System, what do you think of my playing? Was it expressive?]

[The host plays so well! The music is like fine wine, intoxicating and irresistible, making one feel as if they have fallen into a celestial realm.]

As soon as Su Yuanyuan asked a question, the system started flattering her. Listening to its exaggerated description, Su Yuanyuan's lips began to twitch uncontrollably.

Stop, stop, stop! I understand, please don't say anymore.

If she let it continue, even if Su Yuanyuan had the thickest skin, she would want to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

[Host, don't listen to their nonsense. I just think you play exceptionally well.]

"Okay, thank you."

The system has already maxed out her emotional value, so what else can she do besides be happy!

The morning classes were finally over. Su Yuanyuan packed up her violin and followed Zhu Yingtai to the cafeteria, where she heard Wang Lantian's arrogant voice again.

Before she could even hear clearly, Su Yuanyuan rolled her eyes. Couldn't Wang Lantian just shut up for a second? She couldn't help but complain to Zhu Yingtai in a low voice.

"This guy is everywhere, it's so annoying."

Zhu Yingtai smiled and said, "Let's go see what he's up to this time."

Su Yuanyuan nodded, and only after getting closer did she see clearly that it seemed that Uncle Gou Ju had accidentally bumped into him, and he was now making Uncle Gou Ju kneel down and apologize to him.

Zhu Yingtai frowned. "Is he really a member of the Wang family? He doesn't seem very bright. He's always causing trouble at the academy. Isn't he afraid the headmaster will send him back?"

Su Yuanyuan nodded. This wasn't just unintelligent; it was utterly foolish. Wang Lantian only knew how to bully people by taking advantage of his status, but he forgot where he was.

This is Nishan Academy, which has produced countless students, many of whom have achieved great success. There are always some that the Wang family cannot afford to offend.

Right now, only the dean doesn't hold it against him. If he angers the dean, not only will he be fired, but the Wang family might also suffer.

Su Yuanyuan could only say that the aristocratic families of today are corrupt and decadent, and most of their heirs are wastrel like Wang Lantian.
