Transmigration: The Main Character is Not Becoming the Cannon Fodder!-Chapter 281 - 6: Sisters Slaying Each Other (6)

This semester, although most of what was learned was theoretical knowledge, the original character already knew some magic. She was considered an intermediate mage and spent her days meditating and cultivating.

This special training separated the mages and swordsmen in the class.

Li Shuning’s team of three was actually somewhat like the late-stage confrontations.

However, those confrontations were between teams.

Whereas now, it’s a competition against demon beasts.

Li Shuning and her team were already very strong. It seemed as if this special training was prepared specifically for them, as they killed many demon beasts and achieved excellent results.

After the special training ended, Li Shuning and her team received a wave of praise.

Jiang Lin and her teammates, on the other hand, did not perform as well.

Jiang Lin lived in a civilian area. Although she received some good items from the Duke when she was young, she only began learning some things after entering the academy.

Her theoretical grades were good as she put in a lot of effort, but in practical combat, she was still lacking.

In the storyline, Li Shuning’s team actually helped Jiang Lin quite a bit.

They even took Jiang Lin to some places for practical training during the vacation at the semester’s end.

After this special training, in the eyes of outsiders, Jiang Lin was just an embroidered pillow.

Li Shuning did not pay attention to this and returned to the Duke Mansion after the academy went on break. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

The storyline where Jiang Lin and her friends manipulated her to that extent was actually because her strength wasn’t powerful enough.

As long as she was powerful enough, whatever schemes they had would not succeed.

After Li Shuning returned, she found the original character’s brother. This brother was quite capable. With his help, Li Shuning took Nie Rou and Yuyu to start a two-month cultivation session.

Meanwhile, Jiang Lin, with some noble ladies, went to their homes to play.

Witnessing the extravagance and splendor of high society, Jiang Lin’s heart was filled with resentment.

She was also a Duke’s daughter, so why was her life like this now?

So what if she’s a princess? Hmph, one day she would make her regret it.

Jiang Lin, being delicate, was like a small white flower, with a pitiful charm. By attending some social events with those nobles, she managed to snag what she considered a powerful man.

A young marquis who had inherited his father’s title.

Jiang Lin valued the young marquis’s status and his luxurious Marquis Mansion.

Jiang Lin didn’t understand how the empire’s titles were obtained.

Titles in the empire come in two forms: one earned through one’s own strength, and the other inherited, benefiting from one’s father’s legacy.

People like Li Shuning’s father had the strength of a Martial God.

Otherwise, they would not be able to maintain their position.

Those who inherited titles were essentially idle nobles, each generation worse than the last.

Some nobles, in the end, only had their mansion left.

However, those titled mansions were allocated by the empire and could not be sold, leading to impoverished lives in the end.

Jiang Lin thought she had found a good boyfriend, not knowing he was a useless vase.

Now, with Li Shuning’s group returning from cultivation, with seven days of rest before heading back to the academy,

Li Shuning attended an important banquet where she encountered Jiang Lin again.

At the banquet, Jiang Lin’s half-brother was also present, but he didn’t know Jiang Lin was his sister.

Jiang Lin wore a gorgeous ball gown, with an intricate hairstyle, looking very beautiful.

Compared to Jiang Lin, Li Shuning was different, wearing riding attire, appearing simple and elegant, looking vibrant and spirited.

Seeing Li Shuning, Jiang Lin was a bit surprised, as she hadn’t seen this woman for a long time. And, her usual companions weren’t there.

Indeed, Nie Rou and Yuyu weren’t there. Li Shuning let them stay home to experience their insights from the journey and rest.

For some reason, Jiang Lin felt a sense of dislike and hatred towards Li Shuning, a feeling she had the first time she saw her.

As time went on, Jiang Lin perceived Li Shuning as her biggest rival in life.

In the academy, Li Shuning always stole the spotlight.

Li Shuning had a good family background, was beautiful, and very talented.

Why was Li Shuning there when she was the main character?

Seeing Li Shuning dressed so simply, Jiang Lin’s eyes flickered, and after a while, she took a glass of red wine and walked over to Li Shuning.

"Li Shuning, I didn’t expect to see you here. Why are you dressed like this? It’s the Little Prince’s birthday, you know. This might seem a bit too casual, making people think you don’t take......"

Then Jiang Lin anxiously glanced around, seeing that no one seemed to notice, continued, "Li Shuning, I’m just kindly reminding you, with no other intentions."

Li Shuning smiled but didn’t say anything. Indeed, Jiang Lin had deep schemes; she spoke so loudly just now, and although there was no one within a meter of them, two beautiful ladies standing side by side, one vibrant and one delicate and pure, still attracted quite a bit of attention.

Her words were likely heard by quite a few people.

But so what?

Lin Zifeng came over; he was Jiang Lin’s boyfriend.

"Xiaolin, what’s the matter? Is she your friend?"

It’s undeniable that Lin Zifeng was quite hypocritical.

Acting as if he didn’t know Li Shuning.

Inside, Li Shuning sneered; even the original character recognized Lin Zifeng, and he likely knew who Li Shuning was.

Yet, asking Jiang Lin in this manner showed a deeply insecure mentality.

Someone like him couldn’t fit into the interactions of the powerful noble circles.

"Yes, she’s my classmate from the academy. This is Li Shuning, Shuning, this is my boyfriend, Lin Zifeng."

Lin Zifeng appropriately revealed a slight smile.

"So, it’s Miss Shuning. Nice to meet you."

Li Shuning smiled, glanced at Lin Zifeng, her eyes carrying a hint of arrogance.

Lin Zifeng was still eager, his manner a bit obsequious.

Jiang Lin, being smart, immediately sensed her boyfriend’s attitude.

When Lin Zifeng tried to kiss the back of Li Shuning’s hand, she avoided him.

This made Jiang Lin slightly angry inside; what was going on?

Li Shuning, however, didn’t pay any more attention to the two of them.

In the storyline, Li Shuning’s group also brought Jiang Lin to this banquet.

By that time, Jiang Lin was Yuyu’s girlfriend.

However, Jiang Lin’s antics caused them to become the laughingstock of the event.

Now, Li Shuning wanted to see if, without real power, would the Marquis still stay with her after knowing she was a troublemaker?

Li Shuning glanced at Jiang Lin, seeing her cozy up to Lin Zifeng; they likely had already consummated their relationship.

Jiang Lin, although clever, couldn’t accomplish much without someone with good fortune around her.

In the storyline, it was because of various people serving as her stepping stones that she found happiness and success.
