Lord Yan, The Little Ancestor Has Fallen Off The Horse Again!-Chapter 17: Watching the Drama Online

Yun Yue ignored their gazes and expressions as she calmly returned to her seat.

She pulled out a piece of candy from her drawer and ate one.

Then, she casually doodled on a piece of paper with a pen, and to the onlookers, her drawing looked utterly chaotic.

Gu Yue had gone to play basketball after lunch and now came in drenched in sweat, cradling the basketball and carefully placing it under the table.

He tilted his head back and gulped down a big bottle of water, then used his jersey to wipe the sweat off his face, revealing an attractive eight-pack and emanating a masculine charm that was captivating.

Normally, the girls in class would have turned red and stared at him by now, but today their attention was all on the person next to them.

He noticed.

He admitted that Yun Yue was good-looking, but that didn’t justify every boy and girl in class staring at her!

He glanced at his lackey, who immediately got the hint and pulled out his cell phone to show him.

Yang Xing excitedly passed the phone over, whispering, "Young Master Gu, the school forum is blowing up because of her, you better check it out! A three-of-a-kind explosion that shook the whole school."

Gu Yue furrowed his brow as he took the phone, the first post proclaiming her the new number one beauty of the school.

The second post was about her taking on four guys at a vocational school.

The third was Wei Xuan calling her "sister"!

In the comments section.

[Honestly, she even knocked Gu Yue to the ground this morning, and he looked so pissed, but he didn’t say a word.]

[Since Wei Xuan calls her ’sister,’ it’s not that shocking she knocked Gu Yue to the ground either.]

[Haven’t seen this school beauty before, is she new?]

[Seems like it, heard through the grapevine her name is Yun Yue, from Rock Village—one of the top ten poorest regions in the country. How did such a badass emerge from there?]

...

With over 999+ comments below, Gu Yue didn’t have the heart to keep reading; it was quite annoying.

Yang Xing silently took back his phone, knowing exactly what he was thinking after having been by his side for so long.

Shen Xuan, the school beauty of Lancheng High, universally recognized as a gorgeous girl, was within the top ten in grades, and most importantly, she played piano beautifully and painted exquisitely.

He often went with Gu Yue to the music room to listen to Shen Xuan’s piano practice, and every term, she was responsible for the class’ bulletin board art, unrivaled and always first place.

Her paintings had also won first prize in Lan City competitions.

Though these achievements were certainly impressive, Yun Yue was far more attractive than Shen Xuan, and she exuded a wild and proud aura that instantly garnered a huge following of fanboys and fangirls.

Everyone knew Gu Yue liked Shen Xuan, and naturally, he wasn’t pleased to hear the title of school beauty pass to someone else.

Furthermore, being pushed to the ground by Yun Yue this morning had blown up. Doesn’t he care about his image?

Without a word, Yang Xing put the phone away and continued to spectate the comments, tapping out a line on the screen.

[Gu Yue and Yun Yue are desk mates!]

[Holy shit! Can the person above please provide live updates? I want to keep up with the drama online.]

[Same here.]

[Plus one.]

During evening self-study time, no teachers were present to give lessons, but they had all assigned homework.

Everyone was engrossed in their work, pushing the afternoon’s events to the back of their minds.

Yun Yue, too, wasn’t sleeping but reading an extracurricular book in English.

First self-study session ends.

Yun Yue was sitting on the toilet when her phone pinged with a message from a hidden number.

[There’s a task specifically requesting you, do you take it?]

She quickly responded, [Let me see.]

The other side promptly sent over a screenshot, [Investigate this person.]

Yun Yue was stunned for a moment and flatly refused. She’d be crazy to take it on!

After flushing the toilet, she walked out.

Around the corner, two girls were talking and not paying attention to where they were going; they bumped into her shoulder, causing one of them to yelp in pain.

She frowned at them and walked away indifferently.

"How can she be so unreasonable! Not even an apology after bumping into someone!" The girl with short hair looked somewhat mean, with thin lips.

Shen Xuan furrowed her brow as she watched Yun Yue’s retreating figure, which overlapped with the side profile photo she had seen on the school forum. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

Is that Yun Yue?

Shen Xuan consoled the girl beside her, "It’s okay, that’s just how Yun Yue is, not apologizing after bumping into someone is typical for her."

"Yeah, I suppose," the short-haired girl responded with sudden understanding, "She really lacks manners."

Zhang Ziyue emerged from behind, her face flushed red, and she spoke with some difficulty, "It was actually you who wasn’t looking where you were going and bumped into Yun Yue—how can you blame her for that!"

Without waiting for their rebuttal, she turned and left.

The short-haired girl scowled; Class 7’s people really don’t have any sense of reason!

All a bunch of barbarians!

The second evening self-study session.

Yun Yue glanced at the two test papers on her desk, took a cursory look, then picked up her left hand and began to fill in the answers slowly.

Gu Yue glanced over, two seconds per multiple-choice question—she probably didn’t even read the questions properly. Doesn’t she know the teacher is going to grade these?

Zhang Ziyue was seated beside her, with an aisle in between, curious why she was writing with her left hand when she had seen her drawing with her right hand before.

After class, once the test papers were turned in, Zhang Ziyue took the initiative to walk with her.

"About today... on the forum... you and Wei Xuan..." Zhang Ziyue bit her lip, and as Yun Yue’s nonchalant and arrogant gaze swept over, she immediately lost the courage to speak.

She’s so fierce!

"Because we’ve known each other for a long time."

Zhang Ziyue, startled, lowered her head, but then Yun Yue’s voice reached her ears, and she looked up joyfully; the new student didn’t seem so fierce after all.

Yunhua District.

The most expensive and high-end area in Lan City.

"Not taking it? With such a high price, you still refuse? Don’t you usually take any job as long as the money is good?" Feng Ye looked faintly weary as he stood up from the couch and massaged his furrowed brow.

"I’m sorry, but that’s just what the other party said."

The tone of the person on the other end of the phone was pleasant, leaving Feng Ye with no opportunity to vent his anger.

After hanging up the phone, he threw it onto the couch, frustrated, and began to punch the punching bag in the living room fiercely!

After a couple of punches did nothing to ease his frustration, he downed a big glass of ice water to cool down.

"This is so infuriating! How long is this going to take!"

Xiao Feng looked at him silently, noticing that ever since they started investigating Ghost Doctor, his mood had become especially volatile.

The reason didn’t need explaining.

"Elder He has arrived in Lan City." Xiao Chen leaned on the couch, his eyes and eyebrows containing a cold sharpness, an aura of chill exuding from him that made Xiao Feng involuntarily shuffle away a few spaces.

"Do you mean to inquire with Elder He?" Feng Ye’s eyes lit up; they had come to Lan City following a lead provided by Elder He, but at the time, he clearly didn’t want to elaborate.

Would he speak now if they asked him?

"Find time to invite him out for a meal, see if we can get some information." Xiao Chen took out his phone, opened the chat app, and sent a message.

Elder He had spent some time in Lan City eight years ago, but the specifics of where exactly in Lan City he stayed were untraceable. Two years ago, he became the principal of Lancheng High School.

Lan City was just a second-tier city; what could possibly make him content to be a principal at First Middle School?

"We have no choice but to try this approach," Feng Ye sighed dejectedly. The Hacker Alliance was utterly useless, failing to provide any leads so far.

The only competent one wasn’t accepting jobs!

In the evening, Yun Yue turned on her computer, entered the gray website, and saw the first assignment, clicking her tongue.

The client was really willing to spend—a higher bid again.

She logged out, her fingers tapping on the keyboard. These people are such a nuisance.
