When the two of them were mentioned, a cold, dark rage burnt within Huan Meng Yue’s eyes.
She hesitatingly replied as she didn’t know what Jin Da Zhong’s intention for saying this, “Yes I know them teacher. If teacher has any instructions for Meng Yue. Meng Yue will definitely help share the burden with teacher…”
Jin Da Zhong was very pleased, “You have quite a way with words. Good, I need you to assist this teacher in harvesting some food ingredients from the Cliff of Reflection…”
He bent forward and whispered into Huan Meng Yue’s ears.
Huan Meng Yue’s eyes gleamed with delite as she listened closely.

On the second day after Bai Chen Feng left, an unexpected visitor came to the cave where Huan Qing Yan was confined.
“Yo, isn’t it the Young Mistress? Didn’t you obtain third place in the New Recruit Rankings? How come you’re locked up in here?” Huan Meng Yue swam to the entrance of Huan Qing Yan’s cave and gloated, in her hands was an exquisite small bamboo basket.
The calm heart that Huan Qing Yan had taken great effort to maintain had been disrupted. She coldly stared at her, “What do you want? The Cliff of Reflection is not a place that idle people can visit whenever they like. What is your purpose?”
The last time that Huan Qing Yan met her was on the flying ship. That time she was still a sorry figure who needed to wear a veil. Yet today, she was openly exposing her appearance. This fella seemed to have somehow bounced back again.
This woman was truly like an indestructible cockroach, she wondered what methods she used to resurrect herself this time.
There’s surely a mysterious and powerful person supporting her from behind…
“Young Mistress, please do not misunderstand. Meng Yue is here under the orders of my teacher. I am here to collect the spirit food ingredient Gecko Grass! This tab gives me the permission to enter the Cliff of Reflection. I am not her to visit you! I’m just surprised to find Young Mistress being locked up in here only after a few days of joining the academia. What happened, did Lord Ninth not come and save you?” Huan Meng Yue laughed as she spoke.
Huan Qing Yan frowned, “What’s it got to do with you?”
“Young Mistress, Meng Yue is just concerned about you! It was said that Lord Ninth nearly turned into a cripple while trying to save you in the ocean. Young Mistress, you truly are awesome! Seducing Young Master Ya on one side, while still maintaining illicit relations with Lord Ninth on the other, Meng Yue wanted to learn a trick or two from you before! However, from your current situation, it looks like Meng Yue had overestimated Young Mistress. You have been locked here for close to half a month, yet no one has appeared to rescue you. I guess that’s how men are…” Huan Meng Yue covered her mouth and snickered.
Her expression was exceptionally irritating to look at.
Huan Qing Yan decided to ignore her and started meditating again.
This woman was only here to gloat at her, why be angry and let her achieve what she wanted?
Huan Meng Yue continued acting magnanimous, “Ok, Young Mistress, Meng Yue is only feeling rueful for a moment. Since men are not reliable, it’s better that we rely on ourselves. Since Young Mistress has become like Meng Yue, a woman abandoned by men, why must we make things difficult for each other? From now on, Meng Yue is willing to put our past difference aside and become friends with Young Mistress…”
Huan Qing Yan stopped her halfway, “You think too much. I can never be friends with a person like you.”
Huan Meng Yue was not angered, she continued, “Huan Qing Yan, the past you was a selfish fool who did everything for your own interest. Yet unexpectedly, you have greatly changed , sometimes you’ve even given me the feeling that you’ve turned into another person. If you were like that from the very beginning, I might’ve not developed such deep hatred against you and the Huan Family. Young Mistress, we are both pitiful people who’ve grown up together, are you truly unwilling to reconcile with me?”
Huan Qing Yan did not answer.
Her heart was pondering over the words that she said. Huan Meng Yue’s words were quite true. The past Huan Qing Yan was a selfish fool who did everything for her own interest, this statement was exceptionally accurate and correct. In her previous life, for her own selfish interests: for Bai Chen Feng, she ignored the well-being and lives of her brother and mother…
