Chapter 278: Chapter 3: Sisters at War (Part 3)

Within the Li Family, although Li Shuning was the most outstanding among the younger generation, she also had competitors.

Li Shuning was beautiful, but she could no longer cultivate magic, making her essentially useless.

In the end, the family married Li Shuning off to a Marquis.

The Marquis was elderly, having lost his wife, and his children were older than Li Shuning.

Li Shuning, so young, married to an old man at death’s door, was insulted by his son after his death.

It could be said that the Li Shuning in the story was filled with regret.

She hadn’t done anything wrong, merely treating her friends sincerely, so why did she end up in such a situation?

Li Shuning hanged herself, filled with resentment.

Meanwhile, in the story, Jiang Lin married a Prince of the Empire.

Yes, those days led Nie Rou to step aside and the affection of Yuyu to be given to Jiang Lin, but after Jiang Lin was recognized back in the Duke Mansion, she began to disdain Yuyu.

A son of a Marquis, with crippled legs, how could he possibly match her?

Nie Rou, however, was toyed with by other nobles and died.

Back then, for Jiang Lin, Li Shuning and the other two offended some people. Those people couldn’t do anything to Jiang Lin, but they could target Nie Rou.

The disfigured woman spiraled into despair, and her family no longer valued her as much.

Even though Nie Rou was disfigured, covering her face and being toyed with was still possible.

Nie Rou’s end was naturally tragic as well.

And Jiang Lin, who married the Prince, quickly gained power and became a Great Mage, gaining a prominent status within the Empire.

The Princess, hindered by Jiang Lin’s status, could do nothing as Jiang Xiaoqin was brought into the Duke Mansion.

The families where Li Shuning and her two companions belonged did not fare well, while Jiang Lin was the ultimate winner.

Li Shuning opened her eyes.

She felt helpless; the plot was honestly quite bewildering.

Such a hypocritical, manipulative woman, and yet they helped her so much. How blind could they be?

Without the understanding of others, they poured their hearts out…

Now that she had entered this Task World, she naturally couldn’t let the story unfold like this.

Li Shuning entered this world, coincidentally when they just entered the academy.

Li Shuning had just moved into her dorm, and after tidying up, feeling a bit tired, she rested for a moment.

Jiang Lin hadn’t arrived yet.

Nie Rou would be arriving soon after.

Li Shuning went out and happened to see Nie Rou entering the door.

Seeing Li Shuning, Nie Rou was first startled, then her eyes widened: “You, you are Li Shuning?”

Li Shuning smiled, this girl Nie Rou was actually quite a good person, such a pity.

“Yes, I am Li Shuning. You must be Nie Rou from Uncle Nie’s house?”

The Nie Family and the Li Family were considered part of the same faction; Nie Rou’s father could be seen as a subordinate to Li Shuning’s father.

Nie Rou nodded vigorously: “Yes, Sister Shuning knows me? Father always liked talking about Sister Shuning to me, constantly saying how excellent Sister Shuning is, saying how inadequate I am, I didn’t like Sister Shuning at all.”

Nie Rou suddenly chuckled: “But Sister is indeed excellent, and so beautiful, I’ve decided, I don’t dislike Sister anymore.”

Nie Rou was indeed a straightforward, plain-spoken girl who knew love and hatred clearly.

“Shall I help you with your things? Since we’ll be sharing a dorm, it seems we’re fated. I’ve arranged to go out for dinner with Yuyu, want to join us?”

“Sure.”

With Li Shuning’s help, Nie Rou’s things were quickly organized. The two closed the door and went out.

In the original story, Li Shuning was a bit tired, took a nap, and when she woke up, Nie Rou had finished arranging her belongings, and Jiang Lin had just arrived at the dorm.

At that time, Yuyu came over and invited Jiang Lin to join.

This time, Li Shuning did not intend to start off together with that manipulative woman.

It should be known that during this meal, Jiang Lin was able to gain quite a positive impression in front of the three.

A person like Jiang Lin, so blatantly different in front of other nobles, yet acting so innocent and harmless in front of them, was just trying to benefit herself.

It was ridiculous that they always helped her. Without their help, she’d like to see how Jiang Lin fares in the academy.

The three sat down in a restaurant near the academy.

The food in this restaurant was made of special materials, beneficial for those practicing magic, and thus naturally quite pricey.

Though Nie Rou had just met the two of them, her straightforward, optimistic nature made their conversation with Li Shuning lively.

With Li Shuning joining in at the right moments, the atmosphere never turned cold.

The three ordered a lot of food, chatting as they ate, and soon, two hours passed by.

Li Shuning ordered some snacks and took the two up to the rooftop of the restaurant to enjoy the sunset view.

Because, soon, there was a good show to watch.

Without letting these two around her see Jiang Lin’s true face, they might end up just like in the plot.

The three sat on the rooftop, the evening breeze was pleasant and cool.

They had some snacks and drinks, and the three noticed there seemed to be some commotion below.

The rooftop of this restaurant was unique; sitting above allowed them to see everything below, while those below couldn’t see above.

They saw a few noble girls in elegant, beautiful ball gowns being blocked by a woman.

The woman wore a faded dress, looking pure and lovely, standing there independently.

Yes, that woman was Jiang Lin from the story.

At that moment, Jiang Lin blocked those noble girls: “You need to apologize to him or you’re not leaving.”

The noble girls were all a bit baffled: “What do you mean, why should we apologize to him?”

“He’s a commoner, all these bamboo baskets on the ground, he crafted them with great effort, and you, playing around on the street, scattered all his bamboo baskets, didn’t even apologize but want to leave?”

The lead noble girl sneered: “I already gave him a Demon Crystal. Apologize, you want me to apologize to this commoner, have you lost your mind?”

Indeed, in this world, the status of nobles was supremely high, asking nobles to apologize to commoners was like a tall tale.

“What’s wrong with being a commoner? I am a commoner too; we neither steal nor rob. When you’ve done wrong, shouldn’t you apologize?”

Jiang Lin was stubborn, so strong, and so admirable. Nearby, mostly nobles frequented, and at that moment, a few noble youths came over.

“Xiao Qiu, don’t bully people, can’t you see the little girl is almost about to cry?”

A young man, quite handsome, smiled as he spoke up for Jiang Lin.

Referred to as Xiao Qiu was the noble girl leading them.

“Hmph, Mo Li, what, Your Majesty gave you a Viscount’s title, and now you’re full of yourself? It’s not your place to lecture me. What’s my fault? This street doesn’t allow commoners to enter; this woman is with the academy, so be it. This man, carrying these things, collided with us. It’s already good enough that the patrols didn’t arrest him. Xiao Xiao thought he looked pitiable and gave him a Demon Crystal, and yet this woman demands an apology. Who does she think she is?”
