Chapter 46: with translation of chapter title

When Jun Aran heard this exciting news, she felt no joy at all; instead, she took seriously his remark, "You didn't sing it properly?"

In her previous life, she became a goddess and retired from the industry relying on *The Peony Pavilion* and *The Locking Spirit Pouch*, and no one had ever stepped forward to say that any line of her singing was off.

Pei Yusen was no longer standing over there; he walked to the center, about to sing, but Jun Aran interrupted him, "Which line wasn't sung properly?"

Her voice was neither loud nor soft, but somewhat languid, making listeners feel very at ease.

Pei Yusen looked at her, and after just one glance, he began singing to himself.

Jun Aran was not someone who couldn't read facial expressions; she softened her gaze and remained silent.

Luo Yuhan from beside her quietly stepped over and spoke to her, "Hey, I think you sing amazingly; how did you learn?"

Perhaps because Luo Yuhan is a northerner, his speech often carries a northern accent, but even so, it cannot hide his naturally good voice.

"Thank you, senior brother." She didn't want to say more, and also feared being caught by Pei Yusen.

But the people around her were like a chatterbox; once they started talking, it was hard to stop: "I heard that on the seventeenth of this month, the Lucifers who completed their missions are coming back, and I don't know how Xiao Shiba is doing."

When Xiao Shiba first started running missions with the mercenaries, he was only sixteen; it's been three or four years since then, and I don't know how big he's grown.

I heard he's doing extremely well in the unit.

Ah... If I had known, he wouldn't have come to Linglong Academy.

"Hey, Aran, let me tell you, Xiao Shiba is a very interesting senior brother; you two will definitely get along—look at you, such a cool person, your personalities complement each other perfectly!"

Pei Yusen gave them a cold glance and fell silent; a group of people stuck out their heads to look at him as Luo Yuhan's voice gradually rose: "Xiao Shiba is especially good at coaxing girls, always flirting with young ladies; I think you'll definitely like him too, but don't fall into puppy love when the time comes."

"Enough already?" A sudden voice cut off Luo Yuhan's talk, doused his enthusiasm, and instantly his head drooped.

Pei Yusen looked at him speechlessly, "You talk when I talk, you keep talking when I don't—can't you stop and let me say a couple of sentences?"

This remark made Luo Yuhan feel a bit wronged, and he retorted aggrievedly, "It's fine; you speak loudly up front, I'll whisper down back."

Just as he finished speaking, Jun Aran looked at Pei Yusen, who was fuming.

Pei Yusen looked around, his thin lips opening and closing from time to time as if he were cursing; finally, his gaze locked onto the broom in the corner.

With long strides, he walked over big steps and swung the broom at Luo Yuhan, "Are you listening to him or to me?"

He dodged it easily, but ended up hurting the innocent Jun Aran.

The broom hit her bare foot, and she kicked it aside.

"Listen to me, Aran." Luo Yuhan said with a smug expression, his tone and demeanor as if saying, "You can't hit me, right?"

One could see Pei Yusen's brows and eyes slightly smiling, yet he deliberately bent over and said respectfully, "Then you come, you come and speak—you be the senior brother, okay? Senior Brother Luo."

Luo Yuhan bashfully leaned toward her, patted her weak shoulder, and said, "No need, no need, you go ahead and speak."

Huo Anle gave her and Luo Yuhan a meaningful glance.

Training was boring and dull, yet time slipped by unnoticed.

She had originally planned to return to the dorm after training to shower and sleep, but after dismissal she discovered that the training room had the air conditioning on, and she hadn't broken a sweat.

In summer, Jiangcheng is still bright at six o'clock in the evening; it is now past six-thirty.

"Aran, do you have time tonight?" Huo Anle walked over to her and asked gently.

Jun Aran let down her tied-up hair; her misty-blue long hair carried a faint fragrance, fresh and soothing. Huo Anle smelled it and felt much cooler, refreshing to the heart.

Her eyes were naturally languid, and she herself was a cool-headed person; "Yes."

Jun Aran is a native of Jiangcheng; even when she speaks indifferently, she can't help but add a modal particle at the end of her sentences.

Huo Anle laughed and said, "Let's go eat together and have some fun."

The girl lowered her gaze slightly, indifferently tucking a strand of hair behind her ear, "Sorry, senior sister, I'm a bit tired, so I won't go."

Having said that, she walked away from Huo Anle's side.

Huo Anle tilted his head slightly, watching her leave the training room, furrowed his brows slightly displeased, "Is it just because I praised her singing as good that she's become this arrogant?"

As she left, she didn't even bother to tell her senior sister where she was going.

Did she also forget the rule that one must report when going out and face the instructor upon returning?

Now she's so frivolous; when she becomes a performer later, will she still be able to regard them?

Jun Aran was truly tired and wanted to go rest, but she didn't expect that by refusing the invitation of the ninth senior sister, she would thereafter have formed a grudge with her.

In summer, a few light clouds drifted across Jiangcheng's blue sky, like cotton candy.

Today is July 17; I heard that the students training at the Floating Gate in Lucifer Academy have all returned, including the Eighteenth Senior Brother of the Qing faction, Luan Yicheng.

Jun Aran has never seen this Eighteenth Senior Brother in either life; in her previous life at this time, she had finally managed to get a day's rest after constant training, and she went to hang out with the Third Senior Brother Luo Yuhan, never staying at Linglong Academy.

Ding—

Hearing the WeChat notification, she instantly got a headache; this Luo Yuhan is really over-the-top enthusiastic.

【Aran, want to go out and play?】

The girl's misty-blue hair fell across the phone screen; her nimble, scallion-like fingers tapped rapidly a few times, and the sly glint in the maiden's eyes finally revealed a hint of emotion.

Her phoenix-eyed gaze is both lovable and infuriating—one loves the languid ease in her casual stare, yet no matter how you treat her, it feels like punching cotton, neither painful nor itchy, and her eyes always carry a hint of contempt.

Luo Yuhan was lying on the bed, his sturdy body half submerged in the blanket; seeing her reply, he was somewhat surprised.

【I heard that the Eighteenth Senior Brother is an interesting senior brother; the eldest senior brother said he's back today, and I want to meet him.】

The man couldn't help but lower his head and ponder; usually he strives to be as concise as possible in speech, so why does he say so much through the screen?

However, Xiao Shiba and Sanqi have never met before, but since the Eighteenth will be staying at Linglong Academy for a long time, it's only natural to get to know him now.

It seems the only option is to go out and play with her next time we rest.

Luo Yuhan was just about to lie down and continue resting when he saw a message from Song Yangzhi.

【I'm at Anliang House; come quickly.】

Near Linglong Academy there is a Japanese restaurant called Anliang House, which does booming business, receiving only twenty customers a day; he and Song Yangzhi often go there.

Got the tickets!
