“Qu'est-ce que vous voulez, Miss Nan Lingsha?” Zhu Minglang a demandé, not sure whether to laugh or cry.
He had forgotten Nan Lingsha was in the Academy, trop. Whether this matter would reach Li Yunzi’s ears was hard to say, but Nan Lingsha would definitely hear of it!
-Que dois-je faire?!-
“You think I don’t understand what you’re thinking? You only want to stop those dirty rumors and help Li Yunzi wash away her past humiliation…” dit la femme.
“So you understand me, manquer. How can love between man and woman compare to the great city state? I’m only making a small sacrifice,” Zhu Minglang a dit.
“Mais, with just yourself, how can you make the lie whole? You expect the proud Li Yunzi to finish the act with you? That’s very unlikely,” the woman added.
“Manquer, it’s fine if I direct the act on my own. There’s no need for you to lower yourself to help me,” Zhu Minglang hurriedly rejected.
“That’s a pretty good idea you have. That way I don’t have to bear the same shame. Isn’t it great to return my innocence?” The woman’s eyes were like limpid autumn waters, trying their best to express her feelings as she was looking at Zhu Minglang.
After keeping her slightly casual air in check, every movement and expression of hers seemed to be carefully thought out. The woman walked a few steps in front of Zhu Minglang, easily imitating the cold and proud charm and sharp, starry appearance of Li Yunzi, as if she was really Li Yunzi, as if she was that unparalleled character!
“Minglang, do you think I’m Yunzi, or Lingsha?” Her tone was gentle, yet exuded hints of cold. It was completely like how Li Yunzi spoke.
“Mi… Miss.” Zhu Minglang swallowed.
He had thought his acting skills were in the realm of perfection, and there wouldn’t be anyone else in this world able to rival him. When he saw the change in Nan Lingsha’s attitude and temperament, toutefois…
“I’ll play this act of ‘sense of familiarity at first sight and in love with each other’ avec vous,” the woman smiled faintly, her dimples showing. After hiding her tsundere side, she melded even more perfectly into the role of Li Yunzi.
If she had initiated their interaction in this manner from the start, it would have been impossible for Zhu Minglang to tell them apart!
That would have been bad!
This younger sister was imitating her older sister perfectly!
“Parce qu'elle avait une limite de temps, cough… Miss Nan Lingsha…” Zhu Minglang was at a loss.
“Who told you I’m Nan Lingsha?” The woman raised her eyebrow slightly, exuding an air of cold arrogance.
Zhu Minglang felt his head aching.
-How do I end this!?
-She went directly into her role!
-How do I account to my wife… how do I account to Li Yunzi?-
À ce moment là, a voice came from the end of the willow forest pathway. “Zhu Minglang, pourquoi es-tu encore là?”
Zhu Minglang was flustered. Just as he wanted to hide somewhere, “Li Yunzi” used her umbrella to block him, showing a fierce look.
“If you dare expose me, then I’ll expose you! I’ll expose you as Li Yunzi!” the woman warned him coldly.
Zhu Minglang finally understood why Li Yunzi wanted him to watch out for Nan Lingsha. This woman wasn’t someone who played her cards logically, and she wouldn’t mind making a big deal out of minor matters!
The ones calling out to him were two people he knew.
Nan Ye and Li Shaoying. They saw Zhu Minglang standing under the willow.
Coming a few more steps closer, Nan Ye and Li Shaoying saw the woman with a graceful figure hidden by the willow tree.
“Sister Lingsha?” Nan Ye was surprised, looking at the woman beside Zhu Minglang closely.
It was obvious Nan Lingsha’s status in the Nan Family was extremely high. When Nan Ye saw her, his usual youthful arrogance was nowhere to be seen. He cautiously saluted Nan Lingsha.
pendant ce temps, Li Shaoying was staring in shock.
The woman standing next to Zhu Minglang looked identical to the portraits of Li Yunzi, an absolute beauty with no equal.
Li Shaoying had thought Zhu Minglang was making things up. De manière inattendue, he and Li Yunzi really…
“I’m Yunzi, Nan Ye,” the woman said evenly.
“Oh, Oh, pardonne-moi. Why is Sister Yunzi at the Dragon Tamers Academy…” Nan Ye glanced over at Zhu Minglang, his eyes shining in surprise.
Being surprised was one thing. After learning the woman was Li Yunzi, Nan Ye didn’t dare neglect her, and saluted once more.
Zhu Minglang’s gaze at Nan Ye was also very strange.
-Nan Ye, Nan Ye, are you a pig!?
-Can’t you recognize your own sister!?-
“You go ahead first. I have a few words to speak with Zhu Minglang.” The woman maintained her cold, proud appearance.
“D'accord, d'accord,” Nan Ye saluted respectfully again.
Pulling away the dumbfounded Li Shaoying, Nan Ye hurriedly walked on ahead.
They were only here to watch the dragon contest. Who would’ve thought they’d walk into Zhu Minglang and Li Yunzi’s meeting!?
-So what Zhu Minglang said was all true!!
-Zhu Minglang that fellow, what capabilities does he have…
-Why would Sister Li Yunzi take a fancy to him???-
Even after arriving at the river arena, Nan Ye hadn’t recovered from his shock.
Il ne pouvait pas l'accepter. He felt like the previous version was more believable.
“Zhu Minglang really… he and the Crown Princess really have something going on! My heavens, so Zhu Minglang is that vagrant, the rumored disgrace of the Crown Princess. Oh, Oh, pas bien, they’re in love, but falsely rumored. But why is it Zhu Minglang? Although he became a Dragon Tamer and has a very powerful dragon, shouldn’t there still be a huge gap between their statuses!?” Li Shaoying rambled on senselessly.
It turned out that that rumored person was right before them.
Nan Ye felt like this matter was becoming more and more confusing.
He was a descendant of the Nan Family. Regarding Li Yunzi’s humiliation, naturally what he knew was different from what the common people.
In Nan Ye’s opinion, the dungeon incident was most likely true. pourtant, Zhu Minglang being that vagrant was a little strange.
“Droite, when did we three enroll?” Nan Ye suddenly asked.
“At the beginning of autumn,” Li Shaoying answered.
Counting the days, when he first met Zhu Minglang during his enrollment, that period coincided with the time Li Yunzi returned to the Li Clan from Wutu.
There really was something there!
-Pourquoi n'ai-je pas pensé à ça?
-Non, how could I have thought of that?-
Li Shaoying suddenly thought of something and asked suspiciously, “Nan Ye, why did you address that sister fairy as Lingsha?”
“Pourquoi demandez-vous tant!?” Nan Ye shot back, irrité.
“Is Lingsha that artist from our Academy, Nan Lingsha? I heard some people discussing in the Academy that she is also an absolute beauty!” Li Shaoying asked.
Many people in the Academy knew about the artist Nan Lingsha, but not many had seen her, because she usually had a veil on.
“I told you not to ask!” Nan Ye said.
“So the Crown Princess is also your sister, hein. It’s no wonder you got into a fight the other time when that person said those nasty things… But why did you make a mistake?” Li Shaoying sighed.
Nan Ye didn’t pay any attention to Li Shaoying’s constant rumbling. Pour une raison inconnue, he kept feeling something was off.
Dans le clan, matters regarding Li Yunzi and Nan Lingsha were a very sensitive topic to talk about. Although Nan Ye had seen both sisters, that person he saw under the willow tree…
Aussi, that strange matter once rumored in the clan… He didn’t know whether it was true!

Zhu Minglang walked up along the stream. When he drew close to the river arena, he saw there were already many people gathered in the vicinity.
The matter spread very quickly. Zhu Minglang’s speech had also spread everywhere after mid-day. Many people came to observe the spectacle and were waiting near the river arena for some time.
Zhu Minglang went forward, holding an umbrella in his hand. Snowflakes fell slowly from the silvery grey clouds, melting before they touched the ground. À son avis, holding up the umbrella to shield himself from the snow was pointless.
Hélas, someone was threatening him. Zhu Minglang didn’t dare not hold the umbrella up for her.
“I’m only sending you up to here. You take care of yourself,” the woman smiled sweetly, carrying a hint of the bashfulness of when a snow orchid first bloomed, displaying the attitude of someone who was originally proper and graceful, but was acting differently because of their lover’s presence to the fullest.
In terms of acting skills, Zhu Minglang admitted his complete defeat.
Nan Lingsha was very smart. She didn’t make any intentional moves, only appearing in front of the Academy students from afar, saying goodbye to Zhu Minglang gently and taking back the umbrella before leaving alone.
The momentary pause and farewell left only a beautiful back behind in other people’s eyes, leaving the creative Academy teacher and students to imagine whatever they wanted!
“It’s the Crown Princess!”
“She… why is she here at the Dragon Tamers Academy?”
“Is that Li Yunzi? Is that woman really Li Yunzi?”
“Could what Zhu Minglang said be true!?”
Soudainement, all the students present who were waiting for the contest to begin were boiling because of that departing figure!
It turned out all those rumors in the past were false!
What Valkyrie and vagrant, it was clearly a couple, a beautiful woman and an outstanding talent! Some people with ulterior motives actually thought of such vicious rumors to destroy the image of the Crown Princess!
“Has anyone seen the Crown Princess before? Anyone seen her before? Cette femme, is she the Crown Princess!?”
“C'est absolument vrai. I’ve seen her before during a celebration, and that woman looks identical to the drawing. Ça ne peut pas être faux!”
“The Crown Princess came to the Academy to show her concern for Zhu Minglang despite her busy schedule. Quelques personnes, d'autre part, claim to be supporters of the Crown Princess or whatever. Tu devrais avoir honte!” The upperclasswoman from before began mocking the arrogant and despotic Yin Yaozu.
Yin Yaozu’s face went green in shame.
Although it was only a fleeting glimpse, few in the whole of the Ancestral Dragon City State could match that beautiful figure.
-It really is Li Yunzi? So what Zhu Minglang said was all true!
-Comme c'est détestable! Not only did he take Valkyrie’s body, he even stole her heart!
-This Zhu Minglang should die!-
“From such a distance, who can really be sure that woman is the Crown Princess Li Yunzi? Qui sait, perhaps Zhu Minglang found a woman somewhere to pretend to be her. As long as the Crown Princess never announces it personally, we will never believe it!” Yin Yaozu said to the crowd defiantly.
“Droite, Yin Yaozu is right! Si c'est vrai, then ask her to tell us personally, or we’ll never give up!”
“You bunch of people are really unreasonable. N'as-tu pas honte!?”
“The letter of challenge was already sent. He has to accept it. Even if what he said is the truth, what qualifications does he have to defend the Crown Princess’s name? Does he have the strength? The Crown Princess’s husband should be a matchless expert of the world!” Yin Yaozu continued.
À ce moment là, Zhu Minglang had already arrived. He said gently to the upperclasswoman, “Sœur aînée, why bother arguing with them? They’re just asking for a beating from the bottom of their hearts.”
