Reborn Heiress: Seeking Revenge-Chapter 602 The Calm Before the Storm (4)_1

For the sake of the nation’s economy, Shangguan You couldn’t help but feel deeply moved once again. Bai Muxue, who was sitting beside her, also nodded in agreement, expressing her admiration for Fang Jianfei’s decision to become a top player in finance.

Next, as Shangguan You had expected, Li Zhaolei took the stage. He spoke about political science. Seeing his animated expression, Shangguan You finally understood why the people of the Li Family were so shameless, and also why Li Zhaolei had so shamelessly set a trap for Zhuge Feng in the forbidden area behind the mountains of Hidden World Village. The principles of being thick-skinned and black-hearted indeed require a thick face and a black heart; otherwise, how could anyone reach a high position? Shangguan You gained a profound understanding of the three major families within Hidden World Village: the Bai Family focused on mechanics, the Fang Family on finance, and the Li Family on politics. No wonder the Li Family is like that, she mused. And the Zhuge Family—it’s obvious they must specialize in medicine and poison. The Ye Family actually focuses on biology! They must have a deep understanding of it.

Biology? At the thought of this word, Shangguan You’s heart jolted sharply.

Compared to the draining efforts of the magnates, Shangguan You was unusually tranquil. She returned to school once again to experience the pure life it offered. The studies of Shangguan Qing and the others gradually intensified, and they seldom went home. Consequently, phone calls home also became less frequent.

Not only was Shangguan Qing busy, but even the elders at home were nowhere to be seen. Liu Ruoling, too, was busy with official business. This rare peace filled everyone with a strong sense of foreboding, as people were often nowhere to be found. Because her family members were busy, Shangguan You also started spending more time at school. Moreover, her health had greatly improved, her complexion better than ever, which reassured her family immensely.

She attended classes with her classmates, studied with them, and participated in club activities together. Although this lifestyle was peaceful, it was also full of variety.

In her previous life, she had never enjoyed such tranquility and stability. Now, she cherished and enjoyed this quiet life, slowly blending into the daily routine of a college student and getting along well with her classmates.

College life is simple: aside from studying, there’s romance, she thought. For me, love is a very distant issue, not something I’m considering at the moment, and it doesn’t suit my current state.

Although my course load has increased due to the addition of subjects from other departments, I find joy in this way of life, free from scheming and suspicion.

Apart from An Ya, who was almost never present, Shangguan You also maintained a certain distance from the four great families of Hidden World Village. Except for encountering them in the dormitory, Bai Muxue, Fang Jianfei, and Li Zhaolei became Shangguan You’s mentors, and their encounters naturally increased. Even Zhuge Feng naturally took on the role of a mentor, though he taught about the properties of medicinal herbs.

Looking at Zhuge Feng’s youthful appearance, Shangguan You gained a new understanding of him. Appearances can be deceiving, she couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. At the same time, Han Yachu and Lan Xuan quickly blended in with them, and their relationships gradually improved.

Zhu Li would also call from time to time. Shangguan You would always answer, listening with a light smile as Zhu Li complained about the heavy course load and cursed Old Man Chen for being inhuman, burying them under a mountain of test papers.

Meanwhile, the Young Masters of the four great families each had their strengths. Apart from teaching normally in the classroom, they spent most of their time in Room 408, the legendary beauty camp.

During this time, each of the four families also collected various medicinal herbs for Shangguan You to help refine Spirit Gathering Pills. Looking at the high-quality herbs, Shangguan You once again marveled at the abilities of Hidden World Village’s four great families. Although the herbs they found aren’t as good as those in my space, they’re still considered top-notch, she thought.

She gathered the herbs in the production room of You Medicine. Only at night did she bring them all into her space to be refined by the Medicine King Cauldron according to their quality.

The Zhuge Family also delivered many high-quality herbs, which were even finer than those from the other three families. Shangguan You deliberately added some from her space to enhance their efficacy, making this batch of even higher quality.

Naturally, the Medicinal Pills carried by Zhuge Feng and Zhuge Feng were all premium products from her space. For Zhuge Feng’s body, she specifically designed a regimen that the Medicine King Cauldron would refine to suit him. In a short time, Zhuge Feng’s abilities slowly caught up with those of Fang Jianfei and the others. Among these people, Zhuge Feng had undoubtedly been the weakest, but with Shangguan You’s treatment, Li Zhaolei was now at the bottom.

Shangguan You had yet to open the sixth gate within the Medicine King Tower; even her visits to her space had gradually decreased. The sixth level contained the ultimate existence. For some reason, a voice in her heart kept reminding her not to go in, not to open it.

This inner voice constantly warned her. The Medicine King Cauldron had once mentioned that a massive Transmission Array was at the top. Shangguan You was already cultivating the spiritual practice for level 6. Besides the unknown Transmission Array and whatever was inside, Shangguan You was not interested in entering level 6. After all, I’ve obtained what I need; it doesn’t make a difference whether I go in or not, she reasoned.

At the same time, Yang Xiu from the same department and Chen Xu, the president of the student council, both invited Shangguan You to join the student council. Yu Zijin and Gui Luo also joined, making her college life even more exciting.

The people from the four great families, aside from their regular class time, were like practitioners of yoga, absorbing the thin Spiritual Energy in the air. Although Yu Zijin and the others found it strange, they slowly got used to the peculiarities of these four beauties.

Rumors about Room 408 at Beijing First University were increasing. This might be good for others, but for us in Room 408 who want to keep a low profile, it’s nothing but trouble, they thought. Whether it was people from Hidden World Village or Shangguan You and her group, what they wanted most was to stay low-key.

Time flew by. In the blink of an eye, a whole month had passed. Over the month, heavy and light snowfalls continued. Looking around Beijing, the world was covered in white. In another blink, the New Year had arrived, along with New Year’s Day.
