After confirming that everything was a misunderstanding, Kong Lian left the villa with some documents.
In the villa halfway up the mountain, Ren Ran received a message from Aunt Li that Kong Lian had gone home.
"Aunt Li, rest early. I've already asked someone to handle your grandson's transfer."
Aunt Li thanked her repeatedly, "Thank you, Miss. You rest early too."
The matter with Ruan Fengru made him uneasy as expected.
Just as she hung up the phone, Qing Xuan's call came in.
"Daoist Qing Xuan, did you get any news about your master?"
"Yes."
These days, Qing Xuan stayed in the city every day, which was not habitual for him. The urban air was polluted and not suitable for cultivation. But to fulfill his promise, he endured it.
He prayed every day to receive news about his master. Today he finally got some news from a friend.
Ren Ran was overjoyed, "Where is he?"
Until the fate was undone, her heart would not be at ease for a day.
Something as invisible and intangible as fortune, once it starts to take effect, even if you do your best, it can still make you fail.
"My friend encountered my master in southeast Guizhou. He is cultivating in a countryside temple there. I plan to go get him to come over."
"Good." Ren Ran thought for a moment, "I'll send Xu Zhaoyin to go with you. It's better for you two to look out for each other."
Xu Zhaoyin had a nimble mind. With him around, the worldly inexperienced young Daoist Qing Xuan wouldn't suffer losses.
"Okay."
With one good news after another, Ren Ran was in an even better mood. She took out a piece of cake from the fridge to reward herself.
The next day, contrary to everyone's expectation that Kong Lian wouldn't show up, she came to school dressed beautifully as usual, as if nothing around could affect her.
"She really can take it." Zhao Yi admired with tsk tsks.
"If she didn't come, it would seem like she has a guilty conscience." Guo Tongwen pointed out the crux directly.
"Haha, that's true." Lin Xiaoyi chimed in.
Hearing the discussions around her, Kong Lian clenched her fists tightly until she didn't feel the pain of her nails digging into her palms.
She couldn't let others laugh at her, especially that wretch Ren Ran.
Don't hear it, don't hear it...
She chanted to herself inwardly, brainwashing herself.
Early Saturday morning, Ren Ran arrived at the meeting point early. She thought she was the first one there, but the buses were already nearly full.
"Ren Ran, over here!"
Zhao Yi waved at Ren Ran.
On the bus, the students all had smiles on their faces, excitedly discussing what attractions to visit on Mingshan Island.
As the sponsor, Kong Lian dressed up beautifully and made a grand entrance at the end.
Kong Lian took her mother's advice to try to win people's hearts.
Although she suffered a loss in secret, the money would have to be spent anyway, so she might as well spend it to gain some goodwill to offset the trouble Ren Ran caused her this time.
With tens of millions to spend, she had to make everyone remember her kindness to counteract Ren Ran's blow.
After everyone arrived, the buses took them to the pier.
On the luxury cruise ship, Kong Lian went up on stage, took the mic, smiled graciously and said, "Being new to the school, there are many things I don't understand. If I did anything inappropriate or insufficient in this process, please tell me directly. I'm a straight-thinking person who can't wrap my head around twists and turns."
This made many below scoff inwardly.
But no one would show it openly at this time.
"Today I'm honored and delighted to have the opportunity to travel and learn together with everyone. These two days, all expenses on the island are covered. Everyone can have fun as you like, just let the private butlers on the island know if you need anything. I hope everyone eats, drinks and plays well!"
Kong Lian observed the expressions of the students below, but didn't see gratitude in their eyes, just a whatever, matter-of-course attitude.
