    After the morning ss ended, the children starteding out one after another.


    Zhang Dequan stood on the east side of the gate, carefully watching each child as they came out.


    Strange, so many children have alreadye out, but where is our Little County Princess? Could something have happened to her?


    No, that’s impossible. I personally spoke with Teacher Lu from the prodigy ss. It was the Emperor’s verbal order to take special care of her.


    A mere academy teacher wouldn''t dare disregard a verbal decree from the Emperor.


    Zhang Dequan kept waiting anxiously, while inside the ssroom, the Little County Princess was slowly packing her books.


    She had never done this before—she never brought books to ss, as the Grand Tutor would distribute them, and there were pce maids to help her organize them when she left.


    But here, she had to do everything herself.


    She was in a fluster,pletely unsure where to start with.


    Fortunately, his little deskmate was still packing up as well. Otherwise, with only her left in the ssroom, she would feel immense pressure.


    Teacher Lu sat at the lectern, propping his chin with one hand. His head bobbed up and down, nearly falling asleep.


    Little Jing Kong was taking so long to pack up that Teacher Lu began to question life itself. Now, Teacher Lu had found a coping strategy: you pack at your pace, and I’ll nap at mine.


    A quarter of an hour had passed, and Little Jing Kong was still on hisst book. He nced at the Little County Princess’s desk, which she had turned into what looked like a major ident scene, and asked, “Why haven’t you finished packing?”


    Little County Princess, flustered, replied, "I don''t know how."


    Teacher Lu, in the middle of nodding off like a chicken pecking at rice, nearly fell off the lectern. He jolted awake, seeing that Little Jing Kong had finished packing while the Little County Princess was the only one left. Instantly, he became alert, intending to get up and help her pack her bag.


    But before he could, Little Jing Kong said, "I''ll teach you."


    Teacher Lu''s heart skipped a beat, a foreboding feeling washing over him.


    Before he could stop it, Little Jing Kong had already dumped out all the books he had just painstakingly packed.


    Teacher Lu was internally screaming!


    Stopppp! Just let me do it——


    Little Jing Kong arranged his books to mirror the Little County Princess''s desk, recreating the chaotic major ident scene down to the exact angle where ‘The Analects’ was stacked on top of ‘The Three Character ssics.’


    Since Little County Princess’s desk was such a mess, it took Little Jing Kong another quarter of an hour just to recreate the scene.


    Little Jing Kong ced the bookbag t on his left side, with the opening facing the books, and methodically instructed, “Now, open the bookbag like this. I’ll put one book in, and you put one in.”


    "Okay." The Little County Princess mimicked Little Jing Kong and opened her bookbag.


    Her technique wasn’t as neat, with the four corners misaligned. Little Jing Kong adjusted it for her.


    Teacher Lu felt the corner of his mouth twitch. Did Little Jing Kong not realize how messy his own bookbag was? And yet he was teaching the Little County Princess how to pack?


    Teacher Lu smiled awkwardly, speaking, "Little Xue, let teacher help you pack, alright?"


    Little Jing Kong replied nonchntly, "Will teacher help her with her meals, too? Doing things for oneself is what you, teacher, personally taught us."


    Teacher Lu: "..."


    What a rebellious student!


    "First put in ‘The Thousand Character ssic’, then ‘The Analects’..."


    Little Jing Kong’s packing skills were subpar, and the books were stuffed haphazardly, but he maintained a serious and experienced demeanor.


    The Little County Princess looked at their bulging bookbags, with books sticking out at all sorts of odd angles, and vaguely felt that this wasn’t quite the same as how the pce maids packed.


    But Little Jing Kong’s aura of inexplicable confidence made the Little County Princess think that maybe this was the correct way to pack books.


    Teacher Lu dozed off again, wiping the drool from the corner of his mouth as he woke in a daze, "Are you done packing? Ready to leave?"


    Then, he heard Little Jing Kong say to the Little County Princess, "Alright, I just taught you how to do it step by step. Now pack them by yourself."


    Immediately after, under Little Jing Kong’s guidance, the Little County Princess dumped out all the books again...


    With a thud, Teacher Lu copsed onto the lectern!


    He stared hopelessly at the ceiling beams, thinking, someone, just kill me now please!


    ......


    Meanwhile, Cann Women’s Academy also ended its sses, and Xiao Heng came to Lingbo Academy to pick up Jing Kong.


    It was a few hundred steps from Lingbo Academy, and even at a normal walking pace, Little Jing Kong had note out yet.


    He was used to it though.


    Little Jing Kong didn’t dawdle every day; he only did it as a form of protest when he was unable to see Gu Jiao, as a sort of petty revenge.


    Xiao Heng never rushed him, nor scolded him afterward.


    That was just how children were: the more you show you care, the more they understood that this tactic could affect you.


    Xiao Heng patiently waited at the academy gate.


    Zhang Dequan was on the east side, while he was on the west side, with only the passage of the gate separating them.


    There were over a thousand students at Lingbo Academy, and at mealtime or dismissal, the gate would be flooded with people like a dam breaking.


    Yet, even with so many people blocking his view, and even though Zhang Dequan was distracted by watching out for the Little County Princess, he still happened to spot Xiao Heng across from him with just a casual nce.


    Xiao Heng was wearing the uniform of Cann Women’s Academy, with a veil covering most of his face.


    Zhang Dequan, being a eunuch, was indifferent to women, treating them much like flowers in the imperial garden—no matter how beautiful, they didn’t hold his interest beyond the first nce.


    But today, for some reason, he found himself looking at that student several times!


    A student, right?


    She was wearing the uniform of Cann Women’s Academy.


    She seemed a bit tall for a woman, but back in the day, Empress Xuanyuan was also a tall and graceful beauty.


    This was strange; he should stop these thoughts.


    Whypare a student from Cann Women’s Academy to the deceased Empress Xuanyuan?


    Zhang Dequan decided to stop looking. He couldn’t let himself be distracted and risk losing sight of the Little County Princess.


    Zhang Dequan forced himself to shift his gaze away from Xiao Heng, stood on tiptoe, and continued to scan the crowd pouring out of the academy gate.

    <b></b>


    <b>Description:</b>


    In the suspenseful supernatural novel “Records of Mortals,” Jiang Baiyan, once a solitary and impoverished youth, finds refuge in the Shi family of Chang’an due to his extraordinary bloodline. With his clear and captivating peach blossom eyes, this seemingly innocent young man conceals a fanatical and malevolent lunatic within. Destined to sumb to darkness amidst hardship and degradation, he bes a harbinger of chaos.


    When Shi Dai suddenly transmigrates, she takes on the role of the Shi family’s youngdy, the one who subjects him to countless trials, eventually leading to her demise.


    The twist? She never got to finish reading the novel.


    From what she knew of the plot, Jiang Baiyan was just a silent, timid, and often bullied pitiable character.


    ***


    Jiang Baiyan had never encountered someone like Shi Dai.


    After he had ughtered all the evil creatures in the garden, the blood-stained young man, exuding a murderous aura, approached her step by step, his lips curling into a malicious smile, "Scared?"


    Shi Dai responded, “You’re really amazing! I apud you until I spin like a spiral and fly around the moon three hundred times! And also——you have dimples when you smile!"


    Jiang Baiyan: ...?


    —


    After seeing her at antern festival with another man, Jiang Baiyan lowered his eyes, his fingers twirling her hair. He said in a mocking and sinister tone, "The mansion in the western suburbs...if I hide you there, no one will find you, right?"


    Shi Dai replied, "Does ite with meals and lodging? Can I sleep in everyday? Oh, and your cooking is the best!"


    Jiang Baiyan: ...?


    —


    Jiang Baiyan was supposed to dislike her, even hate her, but as their separation drew near, his eyes turned red and he grabbed her sleeve, pleading, "Don''t abandon me, alri—”


    Shi Dai responded, "Alright, alright, I’ll only have you. Mwah."


    Jiang Baiyan: ...?


    He hasn''t finished his lines yet though…
