Chapter 234: Crows Cawing

“I’ve already told my father that three of us will enter the academy. After I take over Blue Flame Academy, I’ll get rid of this stupid rule.”

Chuling’s eyes turned red as she looked at Luo Yunzhu, then at Feng Tianlan. When she saw Feng Tianlan nod, tears started rolling down her cheeks. “Thank you.”

When she’d heard Miss Luo talk about entering the academy together the day before, she’d thought she would be going as a servant girl. She’d never considered entering as a student. The happiness she felt from being treated so kindly warmed her heart, and she felt very fortunate.

They were both too nice to her. She was only a lowly slave, but they were so wonderful to her, and she didn’t know what to say to them. She didn’t know how she could ever repay their kindness.

Luo Yunzhu saw Chuling crying again and laughed helplessly, “We’re a group of three, united in spirit. No matter what happens in the future, we must never betray this group.”

“Miss saved my life, so I’ll never betray the group,” Chuling replied resolutely as her tears continued to fall.

“Oh, what a coincidence, me too.” Luo Yunzhu looked at cry baby Chuling and didn’t know what to do with her. But she was going to be kind to anyone who was kind to Tianlan.

When Luo Yunzhu mentioned betrayal, Feng Tianlan suddenly felt her heart tighten. In her previous life, she had been betrayed by those closest to her, which was why she’d died so miserably. In this life…

Feng Tianlan looked at Luo Yunzhu and Chuling then down for a moment. When she raised her head again, there was a smile on her lips. She believed that these two would never betray her.

Once the sky brightened, Feng Tianlan and her two friends put on their uniforms and took a horse carriage from Feng Manor directly to the Blue Flame Academy, which was far away in the northern countryside. Three hundred and sixty steps made from blue oak and rock led to the large gate in the mountains, and pine trees lined the way. If they looked up, they could see just a bit of the academy itself.

Chuling looked at the grand door and the never-ending stairs and felt like mere dust. A deep sense of inferiority arose in her heart, and she thought that she would be tainting the place if she stepped in.
