Xi Zuzi smiled lazily and casually at Sun Yunyun’s long ponytail, maintaining her consistent tone: "Ancestor thinks you’ve got sothing shady going on in your heart."
Sun Yunyun tightened her grip on the Jade Ruler of Diligent Learning, feeling a bit embarrassed as if Xi Zuzi had seen through her.
But surely the Divine Artifact given to her by her aunt was impossible for outsiders to know about.
Illusion.
It must be an illusion; Xi Zuzi was just bluffing.
Sun Yunyun bit her lip and said: "I, I have nothing shady! Instead, it’s you sneaking off to who knows where!"
Xi Rubao intercepted: "To the bathroom! My sister just went to the bathroom, and you’re making such a fuss!"
Nearby, the defeated Bian Xiaohong softly chid in, seemingly helping Xi Zuzi explain: "Maybe Miss Zuzi got permission from Instructor Yan."
This reminder provoked Instructor Yan in front of the team to say solemnly: "Let reiterate the organizational discipline; anyone leaving the team must report to , even if it’s just to the bathroom, report! The rule is stated once; if soone violates it next ti, don’t bla for being impolite..."
He shot a stern glance in Xi Zuzi’s direction.
Sun Yunyun felt satisfied in her heart.
Unexpectedly, as Instructor Yan’s words trailed off, a flock of birds flew overhead and joyfully dropped a cascade of droppings on his head...
Instructor Yan: "..."
The students couldn’t help but scatter to avoid the stench.
Xi Zuzi stepped forward and lightly patted the relatively clean side of Instructor Yan’s shoulder: "Xiao Yan, it’s better to be polite to the ancestor in the future."
Xi Rubao and Wu Qianman covered their mouths, laughing and following suit: "Instructor, you’d better hurry back and change; we’ll disband right here, no need to stand on ceremony."
Instructor Yan stared angrily, unable to speak, worried that any attempt might cause so unknown material to start falling freely...

"Sister, it’s a sha your celestial music was interrupted; otherwise, how could Sun Yunyun have taken the first place in the sing-off?"
"Zuzi, are you okay? Why did you suddenly leave?"
"Don’t be disappointed, Sister; I heard there are competitions like this every day, and each subject will be scored. We’ll crush them all tomorrow!"
"Zuzi, is there anything we can help with, doing what we can?"
Xi Rubao and Wu Qianman constantly surrounded Xi Zuzi with concern, asking questions.
Thinking of Nangong Mo’s sudden visit earlier, Xi Zuzi, though not stirred in her heart, couldn’t help but avoid it due to that fifty percent resemblance in his appearance.
Ah, she actually avoided a mortal again and again.
The ancestor felt quite disconsolate.
With thoughts in mind, she casually responded to Xi Rubao’s words: "Hmm, sure, let’s participate."
Who knew the two little ones were overjoyed:
"Sister, you promised to show them who’s boss in tomorrow’s shooting competition?"
"Zuzi, do you know how to shoot?"
"Using... a wall?" Xi Zuzi’s eyes looked dreamy as she gazed at the two across from her, realizing she might have inadvertently agreed to sothing significant.

Just as Bao Gucheng transferred Bai Fei from Imperial University, he received news of Nangong Mo suddenly intruding into the Imperial University soccer field.
"Mr. Bo, he didn’t do anything; just watched the female students sing for a while, even clapped, seemingly in a good mood. Looks like he won’t cause any trouble soon; he was scared after we dealt with him in the underground palace last ti."
Chen Long reported.
Bao Gucheng was reviewing the latest surgical plan devised by dical experts, making final preparations for the old president’s surgery tomorrow. Upon hearing the news, he lifted his head, letting out a cold snort—
