Chapter 197 – Haunt Like A Ghost! (2/2)

“That's right. The back entrance is so secluded, a boar might attack us?”

“Some days ago I heard there were wolves——I'm so scared——”

“Shhhh.” Li s.h.i.+nian put her index finger to her lips, saying snappily: “I said I'll go by myself, you insisted to follow me. Now that I brought you here, you say you're afraid. You can leave from the front gate then, I'll leave from the back gate myself. You guys are afraid of wolves, but I'm not afraid of wolves. I'm only afraid of perverted wolves.”

“Big sister s.h.i.+nian, that's not what we meant.” Xiao Huan cried. “We just like to be with you, we feel very safe with you and you will protect us.”

“Yes. s.h.i.+nian is kind-hearted and loyal to friends——not like some of the girls in our school, whose eyes are on their head, like she is the most beautiful in the world, and looks down on everyone.”

“Exactly, big sister s.h.i.+nian is one million times more beautiful than them. But our big sister s.h.i.+nian likes to keep a low-profile, and not leave from the front gate when there's a lot of people, to avoid those smelly men pointing and talking about her—”

“s.h.i.+nian, don't get angry. We said we're going with you, then we will go with you. If you leave through the front gate, we'll be with you to enjoy the glory. If you leave through the back gate, we will keep a low-profile with you. Wherever you go, we'll follow.”

“Yes, me too.” Xiao Huan said, clenching her fist.

Without any other choices, Li s.h.i.+nian said to her friends: “Fine, since you decided to leave from the back gate with me, then don't talk nonsense——I'll walk in front, I'll protect you guys.”

“Thank you big sister s.h.i.+nian. The few girls looked at each other and started to giggle.

Under the leaders.h.i.+p of Li s.h.i.+nian, a group of girls dressed in grey school uniforms cautiously but nimbly advanced toward the back gate of Imperial View High School.

As they neared the back gate, Li s.h.i.+nian peered out the door, her eyes furtively surveying the surroundings and a wide smile curled her lips. “Big Sister s.h.i.+nian, it's so remote here, how can we go back?”

“Go back.” With a wave of her hand, Li s.h.i.+nian said heroically.

The back gate was secluded, not bustling with rich students, and without the gathering of carriages, picking up and dropping off students.

Besides these young girls, it was empty and quiet as far as the eye could see. Only a distant green hill and a seemingly b.u.mpy dirt road.

“Li s.h.i.+nian——” A familiar voice called out.

Everyone looked up. At the top of a golden phoenix tree, sat a handsome young man smiling at them.

The young man, whiter than snow, with a jade pendant hanging at his waist and fanning himself with a steel fractured fan, was obviously a young master of a rich family.

Swoosh—

The young man leaped down from the golden phoenix tree, his body descended right in front of Li s.h.i.+nian.

He looked pleasantly surprised as he exclaimed: “It's really a coincidence, I did not expect to see little sister s.h.i.+nian here——”

Li s.h.i.+nian almost went crazy. She grabbed the young man by the collar and roared: “Yan Xiangma, why are you haunting me like a ghost?”

“That's not right.” Yan Xiangma closed his folding fan, admired Li s.h.i.+nian's beautiful face at close-range and brazenly said: “You and my last encounter was at the front gate of Imperial View High School, but this time we ran into each other at the back gate of Imperial View High——How could you say I'm haunting you? Fate, this is pure fate.”

“Do you think I'm an idiot?” Li s.h.i.+nian loosened her grip on Yan Xiangma's collar. “This is coincidence? You hiding up a tree is called a coincidence. Were you getting ready to go to heaven?”

“Oh, you don't understand?” Yan Xiangma opened his folding fan with a loud 'pak', gently rocking it back and forth to his face like a charming young master: “Deep in my heart, I'm a sentimental man. When I was admiring the scenery at the school gate, I suddenly thought that if I climbed up onto a tree maybe I would see a different landscape above than on the ground? So I climbed up to a tree. Hey, then guess know what?”

“What?” Xiao Huan's eyes gleamed with intense curiosity. She was a child who liked brainteasers.

Li s.h.i.+nian gave her a stern, hard look, telling her that she better not engage in conversation with this a.s.shole. Otherwise he would never stop rambling.

“It is indeed different.” Yan Xiangma's voice rose with excitement. “What was that phrase? Stand tall and see far. When I stand on the ground, I could only see the foothills of the mountain and a vague outline. But when I stand on a tree, not only did I see the foot of the mountain, but the hills of the hills——Because of this, I was inspired to compose a poem.”

“Come, come, I'll read it to you. So what it's a gold phoenix tree? It's too early for flowers to bloom. When ascend the great peak, other mountains appear so small. What do you think? What do you think? I just climbed a tree, but wrote such a wonderful poem. What do you think, isn't my harvest great today?”

“This poem was not written by you.” Li s.h.i.+nian wanted to pick up a stone from the ground and throw it at Yan Xiangma's face. Who would be so shameless?

This is clearly a masterpiece of the Starry Sky strong person Du Ruofu? In the Divine Continent, as long as you have ears, you would have heard of the original version of this poem, how could he have the nerve to say that he wrote this poem?

“At least two phrases were written by me——So what it's a golden phoenix tree? It's too early for flowers to bloom. With these two sentences, together with the 'sage of poetry', I can illuminate the future generations, right?”

“He's so lowly.” Xiao Huan exhaled heavily, gazing intently at Yan Xiangma.

“Lowly but extremely charming.” Another girl, with her hands clasped to her heart, stared at Yan Xiangma, her eyes sparkling like stars.
