Chapter 567: 225 This is her ruling area_1

The top scorer in the college entrance exams must have some real skills.

Give Bai Lian another year or two, and she’ll be her own strongest ally.

It’s just that she hasn’t started school yet and still has a lot to learn.

Chen Hong thought Bai Lian was joking, and picked up a rib: “Alright, if we can’t find the right teammate, we’ll definitely turn to our junior.”

Xu Wenyao, seated next to Chen Hong, looked up slightly. He knew Bai Lian had attended the summer camp at Boyuan High School and probably participated in mathematical modeling. Xu Wenyao pondered thoughtfully.

Bai Lian leaned back in her chair, tapping her straw intermittently with her fingertips, unflustered.

“By the way,” Chen Hong set aside these bothersome thoughts, having finished his ribs, when something suddenly occurred to him: “Junior, how did you get your meal plan sorted?”

Jiangjing University was already on summer break, and the school had only three cafeterias open.

They were at the Yunhe Restaurant on the first floor of the fourth cafeteria, which was also a famous online hotspot known for its variety of tasty and affordable dishes, but it only accepted meal cards.

You could pay with a mobile phone on the second floor.

During the holidays, most tourists visiting Jiangjing would have to borrow a campus card from a current student to eat there.

Next to him, Xu Wenyao also looked up. Bai Lian made several trips to the library to borrow books; how could she enter the library without a campus card?

When this came up, Bai Lian paused in her action of drinking lemon water, “Someone gave me their campus card.”

Xu Wenyao looked at Bai Lian with slight surprise.

Bai Lian knew other people from Jiang University?

After the meal, Xu Wenyao and Chen Hong had to get busy.

Bai Lian took Pu Xiaohan to check in at other spots.

Xu Wenyao and Chen Hong watched the two girls leave and waited for them to walk away before the smile on Chen Hong’s face disappeared. He turned to Xu Wenyao with a not-so-pleased expression.

He massaged his temple, “We should ask Yu Sheng and the others.”

“Let’s go,” Xu Wenyao turned to accompany him, “Is the registration deadline the day after tomorrow?”

“Yeah.” Chen Hong took out his mobile phone from his pocket and got in touch with friends he knew.

Over here, Bai Lian was showing Xiaohan around Jiangjing University.

She wanted to shoot footage of a campus bus arriving, and as soon as one bus left, Bai Lian waited under the shade of a tree beside her.

At the crossroad, a blue bus with cartoon drawings lazily approached.

Pu Xiaohan finally captured the scene she wanted and walked over with her camera: “Alian, there should be fewer people at Celebrity Statue Square now, let’s go, last stop.”

Jiang University’s celebrity statues were already a draw for visitors, and after the broadcast of “Great Yong,” their popularity skyrocketed.

Each character in the drama could be a lead on their own, but the most dazzling of all was Yan Lu, whose every move, sitting posture, and use of the spear was an epitome of that era.

The historical figure Bai Xiangjun was already popular, and Yan Lu’s portrayal turned the character into an ultimate crush in the public’s heart.

These days a random video search online would either show a montage of Yan Lu or criticisms of Emperor Jiangwen.

Historically, opinions about Emperor Jiangwen were mixed; although he became increasingly suspicious in his later years, historians still rated him highly.

With the summer holiday in full swing and Jiang University limiting the number of reservations, the square was still swarming with visitors.

As soon as Pu Xiaohan got off the bus, she saw the crowd at the square.

Her gaze immediately locked onto the bronze statue in the first row to the left. Among so many statues on the square, only this one held a spear, standing tall against the wind, with a flowing war robe fluttering behind.

Under the midday sun, the spear pointed obliquely towards the sky, facing thousands of troops. The young girl stood against the wind, her presence sharp and commanding like the edge of a sword piercing through countless fierce waves.

It gave an involuntary sense of oppressiveness.

Below the statue, many visitors were taking turns to pose for photos with her.

After paying her respects, Pu Xiaohan involuntarily glanced at Bai Lian beside her. Under the strong lighting, she started to hallucinate; this kind of dominating aura was eerily similar.

Bai Lian had been here before; she didn’t look around much.

She just stood to one side, answering a call from Ji Shaojun.

She pressed the answer button and put the phone to her ear: “Uncle.”

“Alian,” on the other end, Ji Shaojun hesitated, searching for the right words, “Did your grandfather tell you about the Mu Family’s butler issue?”

“He mentioned it.”

Ji Shaojun sighed with relief, glad to avoid explanations, “Why don’t you come and see the Mu Family? The butler said you should come back when you have time.”

“Come back for what?” Bai Lian weighed her own affairs; she hadn’t finished her music theory book, and she was still undecided whether Xu Wenyao needed her for mathematical modeling.

“I’m not sure, but the Mu Family has loosened up,” said Ji Shaojun, standing on the balcony and looking out of the window, “It might be related to the family tree.”

When Ji Shaojun mentioned the family tree, Bai Lian raised an eyebrow.

Previously, Madame Xu had condescendingly mentioned that Bai Lian could be added to the Xu Family’s genealogy.
