Chapter 70 - The Purple Haired Demon Girl!

When Cui Xiaoxin was thinking about something, Yan Xiangma was airing his opinions about the flowers in the yard as if he was an expert. Then she heard the voices of her mother and someone else from outside.

“Xiaoxin likes to stay in a quiet place. There are so many rooms in the front yard, but she insisted on taking the most remote place. Which young girl does not like lively places with many people? I am afraid she has stayed here for too long and has become a bit of a recluse.”

“I also like quiet places,” A younger voice replied. Even though she was still quite a distance from them, they could feel the coldness in her tone. It seemed that she did not have any emotions when she was speaking.

Cui Xiaoxin could not help laughing. The Lu Family sent a girl from their family who was exceedingly arrogant and did not know how to be polite. What were they trying to prove?

Obviously, her mother was not very comfortable dealing with such a girl.

After keeping quiet for a while, she responded with a very exaggerated laugh. “Haha, I did not expect that the young people now like quietude, which is really different from our childhood days. Xiaoxin is back now. Since you two are of the same age and will both go to Xifeng University, you can keep in touch in the future. It is good to have someone to be a companion.”

“I have many friends,” Lu Qiji said.

“…”

“But I am still happy to be friends with Xiaoxin,” Lu Qiji continued.

Ms. Cui could not stand her style of speaking which sounded cold and hard and every sentence seemed to be like a sharp sword.

“As a member of one of Capital Heaven’s noble families, it should be you complimenting me and I flattering you. Everyone will then be fine. No matter how you try to stab each other from behind, you still need to maintain an elegant and calm facade, right?”

This Miss Lu did not play according to the rules, which made it difficult for her, a lady with a celebrity status, to play along.

Ms. Cui accelerated her pace and took Lu Qiji to the door of the small courtyard where Cui Xiaoxin lived. She shouted loudly, “Xiaoxin, Xiaoxin, Miss Lu is here to see you.”

Cui Xiaoxin was already waiting in the yard. When she heard her mother’s voice, she immediately came to the door. She was stunned when she saw Lu Qiji, one of the Three Bright Moons, who had been given the nickname ‘purple haired demon girl’.

She had seen Lu Qiji before, but at that time they were still young and their faces and bodies had not matured yet. At that time, she just thought she was cute, thinking that when she grew up, she would definitely be a beauty.

But now when she saw her, she realized that the word ‘beauty’ did not do her true beauty any justice. This was a peerless face that could overthrow cities and ruin states.

Cui Xiaoxin had always been conceited. Although she was known as the Three Bright Moons of the Empire together with Lu Qiji and Song Chenxi, she ignored this kind of rumor because she felt that she was different from the others. That was to say, deep down in her heart, she always thought that she was better, more beautiful and smarter than the others.

Now when she saw this young and beautiful girl dressed in a white robe, she felt ashamed.

Such a beautiful woman was more than a bright moon, she should be called a blazing sun.

Lu Qiji waited for some time, but Cui Xiaoxin still did not talk to her. She just looked at her as if she was dazzled, seeing a treasure for the first time.

The feeling of being judged made her very unhappy. She raised her brows slightly and broke the silence, saying, “I heard you were attacked in Jiangnan. We were all worried about this in Capital Heaven. When I heard that you came back a few days ago, I thought about coming over. I picked a few small gifts for you personally and I hope you like it.”

The girls behind Lu Qiji walked out holding some boxes and presented them to Cui Xiaoxin.

“Thanks for your gifts, I like them very much.” Cui Xiaoxin realized that she had been really rude just now. How could she stare at the guests for so long? She did not open the gifts on the spot, but told her maid to bring the gifts to her room. “You can come over at any time and you do not have to bring so many gifts.”

“It is just a little token. I am glad you like it,” Lu Qiji said indifferently. She was also looking at Cui Xiaoxin—she was a beauty. Well, her temperament was also very good. She was gentle and smart and she had a completely different style.

Yan Xiangma swallowed his spit. He opened his fan and shook it gently against his chest, which made him look like the best young master of the world. He said aloud with a cheerful smile, “My sister is right. You can come any time you like, giving gifts seems to be a mere courtesy. Xiaoxin, am I right? ”

“Who is this?” Lu Qiji asked, as she glanced at Yan Xiangma with disdain. This idiot was leering at her with his eyes wide open, his face flushed and his mouth drooling, without him being aware of it. If she had not been a visitor, she would kick him out already.

Before Cui Xiaoxin could reply, Yan Xiangma walked in front of Lu Qiji and said, “I am Yan Xiangma, Cui Xiaoxin’s cousin. Of course, I treat her as my own sister and she always treats me as her brother. You are the Capital Heaven Fairy—Lu Qiji? You really deserve your title. As they say, you are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. Like the moon in the sky, like the fiery sun. Everything in the world is overshadowed by your beauty. My eyes light up because of this. Your light is too blazing, it makes it hard for me to see anything…”

Lu Qiji glanced at him and looked at Cui Xiaoxin and asked, “Is he sick?”

“He is not sick.” Cui Xiaoxin smirked and said, “He is just infatuated with your beauty.”

Cui Xiaoxin made an inviting gesture and said, “Please come in.”

“I will leave you young people to talk.” Ms. Cui said and left quickly with her maid. She was afraid she would be choked to death by the little girl from the Lu Family.

When they sat in the simple and elegant living room, which was not very large, the maidservant brought tea and cakes.

It was too difficult for two girls who were not familiar with each other, to have a warm, unceasing conversation like those adults.

Lu Qiji held a tea cup and drank her tea and Cui Xiaoxin was at a loss for words.

Fortunately, Yan Xiangma, who had just suffered a heavy blow, came in and took a sip from the tea cup handed over by the servant. He said, “Do you also like to drink tea? This is Queshe green tea from Longhu Mountain. Although its fragrance is light when you first drink it, when the tea gets into your lungs, the lingering fragrance is even more impressive.”

“Master Xiangma, this is Yinzhen tea from Junshan, not Queshe…” the maid, who was standing next to him, corrected him.

“…”

Cui Xiaoxin could not bear to let her cousin continue with his idiotic behavior and quickly helped to cover his embarrassment by saying, “I usually like to drink Longjing tea. What about you?”

“I don’t really care,” Lu Qiji said. Thinking that this answer was too cold and too harsh, she added, “As long as it is tea.”

“Oh.” Cui Xiaoxin also felt a little hard to deal with her. She said, “Are you going to Xifeng University? We will be school mates.”

“It is not finalized yet,” Lu Qiji said with a chuckle. “Speaking of this, I thought of another thing. Since you have just returned from Jiangnan, maybe you have heard of the ‘Jiangnan fine horse’—Li Muyang? Recently, he has been the topic of many discussions in Capital Heaven and many people are eager to see him. How about his appearance and character? ”

“As for that…”

“Ha ha ha…” Yan Xiangma laughed and said, “What kind of appearance does he have? He is clearly a large coal. If you want to get to know him, I can help you. I was his good brother when I was in Jiangnan. Although he looks ugly, his character is still trustworthy. Otherwise, I will not be friends with him.”

“He is not ugly.” Cui Xiaoxin corrected Yan Xiangma’s malicious derogation and said, “He has his own pride and the rumors are true. If he comes to Capital Heaven, you will have the chance to see that.”

“I am really curious.” Lu Qiji’s eyes flashed brightly and she smiled and said, “With only one shot, he came in first in the empire in the Liberal-arts Exam. I am afraid that when he comes to Capital Heaven, there will be a lot of challenges.”

“I believe in the spirit of young people in Capital Heaven,” Cui Xiaoxin answered indifferently.

“It sounds as if you are very protective of him.” Lu Qiji’s long eyelashes fluttered and her flawless, demon-like face had a certain oppressive pressure that made it difficult for one to breathe.

Yan Xiangma quickly touched his nose, worried that the weather was too dry and his nose would start to bleed.

“Do I?” Cui Xiaoxin smiled and said, “He was originally a classmate of mine and I took it for granted that I am speaking for him. If I see my classmate being bullied and ignore it, it is too cruel.”

“You are kind and we should learn from you,” Lu Qiji said with a smile. “I should leave now. You have a rest. I will visit you again next time.”

After saying that, Lu Qiji got up and said goodbye.

Cui Xiaoxin stood up and sent her out, until the figure of the purple-haired girl disappeared in the garden.

“This Capital Heaven demon girl is really arrogant. She always shows an inscrutable face. Huh, what is the big deal? In terms of appearance, she is not as good as my Xiaoxin sister…” Staring obsessively at Lu Qiji’s departing back, Yan Xiangma grumbled.

With a thoughtful look on her face, Cui Xiaoxin whispered, “She came because of Li Muyang.”

“What?” Yan Xiangma turned back and asked.

“Don’t you think it is weird? After entering the room, she said less than ten words to me, but most of them were about Li Muyang… They know each other?”
