After being reborn, I became the apple of my enemy's eye.

Shi Yunjun immediately felt that he had completely lost face in front of Yan Yun.

How dare this person treat me like this? Who does he think he is?

He got up from the ground and immediately turned to look at Nan Yunjing, his eyes filled with anger.

But as soon as he met that icy face, cold sweat dripped down Shi Yunjun's forehead. How could it be this guy? He couldn't confront this guy directly, but he also couldn't let this guy steal the spotlight from him.

He glared at his entourage and roared, "Are you all blind? Didn't you see me being bullied by him? You just stood there and watched?"

Upon hearing this, the attendants immediately surrounded Nan Yunjing.

Shi Yunjun stepped back a little.

With so many people around, he finally felt he had regained some face. While his entourage surrounded Nan Yunjing, he also turned his attention to speaking to Yan Yunyou.

"You little brat? I'm not going to hurt you, I'm just here to get to know you. I don't mind that you're mute, so why are you making it sound like I did something to you?"

He kept repeating "mute" over and over, and he spoke fluently.

His lips chattered incessantly.

Yan Yun wasn't angry that he said he was mute, but rather that his behavior was intolerable.

The followers surrounding Nan Yunjing also began to attack. Nan Yunjing didn't even need to draw his sword; the scabbard alone was enough to instantly knock down five or six people.

The scabbard fell against Shi Yunjun's neck once more.

Shi Yunjun was somewhat taken aback.

He just wanted to ask Yan Yunke what she liked. If she did, he would send it to her. How did he end up attracting this scourge?

He turned his head and looked at Nan Yunjing again. All the followers he had brought with him had fallen to the ground.

The eyes around him were all speculating about how he would deal with Nan Yunjing.

Shi Yunjun had run out of tricks and strength, so he laid out his trump card, "Do you know who I am? I am Shi..."

Without a word, Nan Yunjing pushed the scabbard open, revealing the sharp blade inside. The silver blade struck Shi Yunjun's neck, cutting a gash.

Shi Yunjun told him he wouldn't dare to make a move.

But when the sword was drawn, he felt nothing. It was only when his attendant saw the blood flowing from Shi Yunjun's neck that he cried out, "How dare you hurt our young master!!"

Shi Yunjun only noticed the blood flowing from his neck when he heard his voice.

He reached out and touched the wound, his eyes filled with hatred as he looked at Nan Yunjing.

"Damn guy!"

He was only angry when he met Nan Yunjing's gaze; Shi Yunjun immediately shut up.

He was afraid.

Nan Yunjing issued a cold warning, "No matter who it is, no one is allowed to cause trouble in Baima Academy. If anyone does, my sword will only find corpses."

Shi Yunjun suppressed his resentment, but was also worried that he would take action again.

His tone changed.

"I didn't come here to cause trouble. I came as arranged, just to see Miss Zheng and meet with her. Have I gotten into some trouble?"

Shi Yunjun's words made Yan Yunrang the target of everyone's criticism, as it was she who sent Shi Yunjun.

Yan Yun immediately shook his head.

She was about to leave when this person inexplicably blocked her way, saying he was keeping a promise, even though she didn't know him at all.

But she didn't say anything, which made her a laughing stock among those around her.

Shi Yunjun looked around, quite dissatisfied. "Does coming to find someone now count as causing trouble?"

Nan Yunjing looked at Yan Yun.

Yan Yun still shook her head, and she distanced herself from Shi Yunjun.

Shi Yunjun asked Nan Yunjing, "What trouble did you see me cause? You even hit my people. If you have the guts, state your name."

"Nan Yun Jing".

When Shi Yunjun heard him introduce himself, he read it aloud as well.

"Nan Yun Jing?"

—Yes, Nagumo Kage!

Shi Yunjun's expression immediately changed as he spoke.

He gritted his teeth, "No wonder, this blind fool is actually that jinx."

He looked at the followers on the ground and said, "You bunch of dog slaves, you have no skills whatsoever, you can't even protect me."

After he finished cursing, his expression changed, and he lost his arrogance. He lowered his stance and told Nan Yunjing that he came to Baima Academy not to cause trouble, but to find someone, and that he would leave once he saw her.

If it weren't for Nan Yunjing's misunderstanding, his attendants wouldn't have attacked him.

He also avoided Nan Yunjing, who was standing in front of him, as much as possible.

He looked at Yan Yun beside him and said, "Miss Zheng, let's meet again outside the academy."

Shi Yunjun turned and walked out with his entourage. His arrival was unexpected, and his departure was swift.

But he left behind a huge mess, all of which fell on Yan Yun's shoulders.

Nan Yunjing looked at Yan Yun without any mercy, "Pack all these things up."

Yan Yun, however, was somewhat unconvinced.

He should have made Shi Yunjun pack all these things away before letting him leave.

Despite thinking this way, Yan Yun had no complaints about Nan Yunjing helping him get out of trouble.

She bent down and dragged the scattered long tables back into place.

Remembering Yun Yi's previous warning, he never expected to get involved with Shi Yunjun, that leech.

Yan Zhihe stepped forward and joined Yan Yun.

After putting all the overturned long tables back in their proper places, Yan Yun felt somewhat dissatisfied. Why couldn't he even read a book in peace?

Yan Yun wants to return to Zheng Yuan.

Yan Zhihe said that Shi Yunjun was still waiting at the front gate, and if it was inconvenient for Miss Zheng, she could leave from the backyard.

Yan Yun had no good way to get Shi Yunjun to stop watching him, so he followed Yan Zhihe out the back door.

After seeing Yan Yun off, Yan Zhihe went to the front courtyard to deliver a message. His attendants followed him, while the carriage returned to Zheng's residence empty.

When Yan Yun returned, he ran into the matchmaker who was coming and going.

The servants bowed.

"Miss."

Yan Yun glanced at the woman again.

Accompanying the matchmaker was the old nanny who had taken Lu Yan and Lu Lan to Changgu City before; she was from the Lu family.

She also came to the mansion.

As for what she came to the mansion for, Yan Yun didn't really want to know, nor did she want to concern herself with the affairs of Zheng Jihua's backyard.

But then, a concubine conveniently appeared at his doorstep.

His eyes were red and swollen from crying, as if he had been hit by someone.

She sat in Yan Yun's courtyard, sobbing and staring in the direction she had come from.

When Yan Yuncai walked into the courtyard, he heard crying, but he didn't expect it to be his concubine.

Yan Yun stopped in his tracks.

The concubine's maidservant came to greet Yan Yun, and also told him to consider the relationship between mother and daughter, and to help the concubine keep her position as the principal wife.

Only with the combined efforts of Yan Yun and her concubine can the master's heart be set on only the mother and daughter.

After listening to what the nanny said, Yan Yun...

Is he trying to get me to plead with Zheng Jihua on his behalf?

Logically speaking, the concubine has been by Zheng Jihua's side for so many years, and should already be in the position of the principal wife. Moreover, the concubine gave birth to Zheng Ning'er, who is Zheng Jihua's favorite. Isn't that enough to ensure stability?

The concubine's crying did not bother Yan Yun at all.

The more she cried, the happier she became.

It was because of the old woman that Yan Yun roughly knew that Zheng Jihua had still come to this point.

That means Lu Lan is going to marry Zheng Jihua.

The people from the General's Mansion wanted Zheng Jihua to grant Lu Lan the position of his principal wife. They said that if Lu Lan were granted this position, the General's Mansion and Zheng Jihua would be bound together as one.

They weren't in a hurry if they didn't agree.

The old woman feigned weakness towards Yan Yun.

“Miss Ning’er, please help your mother. You must not let others take your things away. Lu Lan came to the manor to harm you and Madam.”

The old woman kept telling Yan Yun about the harm that Zheng Jihua had done by marrying Lu Lan, and in her words, Lu Lan became the epitome of a former concubine.

Unfortunately, the old woman didn't know.

The Yan Yun before them was neither a simple child nor Zheng Ning'er, but the Yan Yun who had been killed by them.

Zheng Jihua will not listen to anyone, whether it is a concubine or Yan Yun.

The old woman was arrogant and thought too highly of them.

What Zheng Jihua does is his business, but Yan Yun will not allow his concubine to drag him into the power struggles of the inner court.

She went back inside, closed the door, and ignored the crying outside.

She didn't want to get involved in the messy affairs between the concubine and Zheng Jihua in the backyard. She had things to do now, and her patience with Shi Yunjun had completely run out.

She searched the room and found what she needed, choosing the lightest equipment possible.

It went on until late at night.

The old woman in the courtyard then left with the concubine.

Yan Yun got up and jumped out of the window. It was her first time doing this all by herself. Although she was a little nervous, her daily training allowed her to keep up with the movements.

Those walls can be easily climbed.

She made her way forward under the cover of night.

Upon seeing the Shi residence from afar, I walked around the wall to confirm its location, and then climbed over the wall to enter.
