The young girl had put on some makeup, and there was a charm between her eyebrows that shouldn't belong to her age. Her cherry lips were even more flirtatious, and there was an indescribable charm in her every frown and smile.
Although she hadn't fully matured yet, she had the charm of a natural beauty.
The remnant memory of the former Qin Yi left a deep impression on this girl. It was a kind of lingering love.
However, the current Qin Yi wasn't a naive teenager. From this young girl's behavior, the relationship between the two didn't seem to be as sweet and warm as the former thought.
"Tian Ya, what's the matter?" Qin Yi asked calmly.
The young girl, Tian Ya, moved the corner of her mouth slightly, revealing a little surprise and displeasure. In the past, when Qin Yi saw her, he would call her "Ya 'er" intimately and affectionately.
Today, he actually called her "Tian Ya" in a reserved manner, and even called her by her full name.
That was completely out of character! Tian Ya felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. She liked to control men, and she liked to take the initiative in everything.
She didn't like the feeling of things getting out of her control.
However, there were priorities for everything.
If it was on a normal day, Tian Ya would definitely tease Qin Yi. But today, she had more important things to do.
Tian Ya raised her palm, and a concentric pendant, which wasn't very finely made, casually waved it.
"This thing, I'm returning it to you."
Qin Yi was startled, and then he remembered that this concentric pendant was given to Tian Ya by Qin Yi when he passed the Yin-Yang Academy's examination.
Tian Ya also passed the Yin-Yang Academy's examination at that time. She found Qin Yi pleasing to the eye, and with a little trick, she made Qin Yi excited, and gave him this concentric pendant. There was a faint promise of love.
The meaning was that the two of them had to agree to enter the Yin-Yang Academy hand in hand to further their studies.
This was the only good feeling that the former Qin Yi had before he committed suicide.
Now it seemed that Qin Yi was just one of the countless spare tires for Tian Ya.
Touching the cold pendant, he looked at Tian Ya's indifferent expression.
Qin Yi had already guessed most of it and asked indifferently, "What do you mean?"
Tian Ya didn't seem to want to explain any further. She raised her chin and said lightly, "Nothing much. There's no need to keep something that doesn't belong to me."
The former Qin Yi was quite affectionate towards this woman, but how wise was the current Qin Yi? How could he not see through this woman's estrangement?
That's right, I'm an illegitimate child with a bleak future, and I'm not fated to enter the Yin-Yang Academy. From Tian Ya's point of view, it's natural for me to avoid him.
Qin Yi nodded and smiled. "You're right."
As he spoke, he exerted a little force in his hand, and the Heart Pendant instantly turned into powder in his hand.
"You!"
Tian Ya raised her eyebrows.
But then she felt that she didn't need to care about this with Qin Yi. She raised the corner of her mouth and sneered, "Why are you doing this?"
"It's useless to keep something dirty." Qin Yi shrugged.
This kind of understatement made Tian Ya feel indescribably unhappy.
She returned the Heart Pendant because she wanted to draw a line between her and Qin Yi. In her heart, she was ready to be pestered and pursued by Qin Yi.
But …
The plot didn't go in the direction she expected at all.
And the importance of her, Tian Ya, in Qin Yi's heart didn't seem to be as high as she thought!
This made Tian Ya feel a sense of loss like a heavy punch hitting cotton.
She couldn't help but lose her temper. She smiled coldly. "Qin Yi, do you think you can win the so-called self-esteem in front of me like this? I have to say, you're far too childish. This is also why the person who went to Yin-Yang Academy was Qin Xiang, and not you. "
After saying that, Tian Ya shook her head gently again, and there was a hint of reservation and pride in her smile.
"Alright. Our statuses are different. As the saying goes, dragons don't live with snakes. You're on your own! "
Indeed, Tian Ya came from the Tian family, one of the six pillar families of the Azure Luo Kingdom. Their statuses were on par with the Qin family. But Tian Ya wasn't an illegitimate daughter.
Although she was a woman, she was still a direct descendant. She enjoyed the highest level of treatment in the Tian family.
Her and Qin Yi's statuses weren't on the same level. She had a good impression of Qin Yi before, but that was only because he had passed the Yin-Yang Academy's test.
In the end, he was just a stepping stone for her.
Now that he wasn't even a stepping stone, not only had Qin Yi lost his value, but his status as an illegitimate child made Tian Ya feel that talking to him was degrading her own status.
Tian Ya walked a few steps, then seemed to remember something. "That's right, I forgot to tell you. In a moment, you'd better be careful in front of Qin Xiang. Don't make any funny moves. Qin Xiang and I have already formed an alliance with the Yin-Yang Academy. I don't want to cause any misunderstandings. "
This kind of alliance wasn't necessarily meant to be dao companions, but it was close to that. The goal was naturally to take care of each other after entering the Yin-Yang Academy.
Qin Yi smiled. "Is that so? Then I wish you lovers (and the adulterous couple) a happy ending. "
Saying this, Qin Yi glanced at Perching Cloud Hall with a smile that wasn't quite a smile. Perching Cloud Hall was the hall where the Qin family received guests.
There were quite a few people gathered at the entrance of Perching Cloud Hall. These people were all youths of the same generation. They were all the scions of the great powers of the Azure Sieve Kingdom.
Today, they had all been invited to attend Qin Xiang's celebration.
These fellows clearly wanted to see Qin Yi make a scene. They wanted to see a farce full of clowns.
Unfortunately, Qin Yi's reaction and performance were completely unacceptable to them. The farcical drama they had been waiting for didn't play out at all.
"What a pity, what a pity!"
"How boring, how boring!"
"I didn't think that Tian Ya's man-killer would be so useless."
"It's not necessarily useless, is it? Maybe that brat Qin Yi is just pretending. I reckon he'll go back to his room and cry his heart out. "
"Forget it. He's not fated to enter the Yin-Yang Academy, so this Qin Yi isn't worth our attention."
"What a pity that we missed out on a farce."
… …
Before long, all the guests of the Qin family had arrived.
The so-called celebration ceremony was to eat and drink from noon until night. Then, there would be a few events.
For example, gifts, the announcement of the succession, a speech of thanks, and so on.
Although Qin Yi wasn't interested at all, he reluctantly attended under Qin Zhen's insistence. He sat next to Qin Zhen.
He looked coldly at Qin Xiang, who was sitting in the main seat. He was in high spirits. On both sides of him were either seniors of the family or honored guests from his mother's clan. It could be said that he had reached the pinnacle of his life.
In comparison, Qin Yi was alone. Aside from the occasional whisper from Qin Zhen, no one paid any attention to him.
The two sides formed a stark contrast.
Because of this, no one cared about how Qin Xiang's spot in the Yin-Yang Academy had come about.
Under these circumstances, Qin Xiang's entry into the Yin-Yang Academy seemed to be a matter of course.
