Runaway Goddess: Mischievous Third Miss

Chapter 18 - Sent From Heaven?

In two months, Ren Zhilan needs to double her effort. She needs to unlock half of her seal before she sets foot in Misty Cloud Academy. She ordered Hei Ying to gather more information about the academy but surprisingly aside from where it was located, there's nothing more information about the school. This poke Ren Zhilan's curiosity; it seems that Misty Cloud Academy is not an ordinary school like the Iron Fortress Academy and Mythic Falls Academy of Magic.

Before she sets foot to the academy, she needs to settle her personal matters first and that includes her engagement to the lowly prince. Her betrothal to the crown prince will be a hindrance to her future plan. She wanted to play more but she only has limited time. It may be bold but she needs to pluck the weed before it grows more.

"Hei Ying, watch out Ye Rui. I'm going to check out the two brats," Ren Zhilan said in a low voice.

"This servant oblige," Hei Ying said without objection.

In order for Ye Rui to not suspect that she is absent, Ren Zhilan uses the pretence in studying again in the library. Not even the old general knows about her disappearance. Ren Zhilan assumes the identity of 'Lan Zi' as she went to the clinic where she dumps the two brats. She is still a meter away from the place when a little girl dash to her direction.

She remembered her and unlike the time she first saw the girl, her complexion is better now. The little girl is around Mo Shirong's age. Her hair is tied into twin buns. Her cheeks have a healthy shade and base on her lively action, she recovered very well. A youth also dash in her direction. It was the same youth who was almost half-dead being beaten up by Fighter Kings.

"Benefactor, you came," the youth said with a gentle smile and sparkling eyes.

"It seems you two are in good condition," Ren Zhilan said blandly.

"Benefactor, let me treat you some snacks and tea if that's fine with you," Fei Xiang said gullibly, not minding Ren Zhilan's cold attitude.

"En," Ren Zhilan said and followed the siblings to a nearby tea shop.

The tea shop is ordinary but the atmosphere is good. There are only few customers inside. The three decided to rent a private room on the second floor. This made Ren Zhilan think that the youth have something to say to her. After the youth make an order, his expression became serious. Even the naïve looking little girl's expression became firm and full of resolution.

"What's this all about?" Ren Zhilan directly says.

"Benefactor, my name is Fei Xiang and this is my little sister Fei Qiang. We don't have anything to give you but please, can you help stay in the capital? Even it's only a month," Fei Xiang pleads with a sullen expression.

Fei Xiang knew that he doesn't have the position to ask help. The benefactor already helps him and doing this made him a shameful person but he doesn't have any choice. He doesn't know anyone in Xing Yan Empire let alone any acquaintance. The youth doesn't know him but he still help him and even pay for his recovery. He knew that the youth a nice person who helps the weak. In Fei Xiang's perspective, Ren Zhilan is a saint sent by the heavens.

If Ren Zhilan knew what Fei Xiang thinks of her, she would spill out the tea she is drinking. She being a saint sent from the heavens? It's the biggest joke that she will ever hear in her entire life. Not even the Supreme God thinks she's a benevolent person. She who brings chaos and discord wherever she goes is like a stroll on a fine weather.

"Why would I do that?" Ren Zhilan coldly said as she takes a small bite from a pastry.

"Once I became a disciple in Misty Cloud Academy, I will pay you back tenfold," Fei Xiang seriously said.

Ren Zhilan's eyebrow rise when she heard about Misty Cloud Academy. The Misty Cloud academy is located at the center of the four kingdoms of North Star Continent. From Xing Yan Empire, it will take two weeks of travel in order to reach the academy. It seems the real reason of Fei Xiang by going in Xing Yan Empire is by joining the annual enrolment of the academy which will be held in within two months.

Ren Zhilan size up Fei Xiang, his skin is clear and clean like a skin of a young master. His mannerism also speaks about his nobility. But how come a person from a good family be beaten up and almost lost his only relative to a pig? It seems this Fei Xiang has something up his sleeves but she won't ponder it more. He might be a useful chess piece to her in the near future.

"Your sister is not qualified to enter Misty Cloud Academy. What are you going to do about it?" Ren Zhilan said sternly.

"T-that … can you keep my sister temporarily?" Fei Xiang guiltily said.

"Okay, but remember your promise," Ren Zhilan said in a straightforward manner that made Fei Xiang and Fei Qiang almost fall on their seat.

He just accepts it just like that? It seems Fei Xiang made the right choice to trust this benefactor. He is really sent by the heaven! After they had their quick conversation, Ren Zhilan went to an inn and paid worth a month of rent. It's not surprising it's just that Ren Zhilan casually rained gold coins from her space ring. After all, space ring is a rare artefact that not everyone can own. When the innkeeper saw how Ren Zhilan casually gave him gold coins, he even gave here five percent discount. Fei Xiang and Fei Qiang is also shock about the fast arrangement of Ren Zhilan. It seems he is born from royalty.

Fei Xiang and Fei Qiang's perspective to Ren Zhilan became a rich nobleman who helps the poor and doesn't care about money. Such a nice person, the siblings truly feel lucky to meet Ren Zhilan.

"Benefactor, can you please tell us your name?" Fei Xiang asked as he summoned all of his courage.

"Lan Zi," Ren Zhilan said and quickly left.

When Ren Zhilan arrives at the Ren Manor, she saw a grand carriage outside. It seems new trouble came knocking on her door again. Ren Zhilan slips inside the library and change her appearance. No one knows that he snuck out, not even her so called guard. In just a few moments, Ren Zhilan heard a knock. She saw Eunuch Fang with a solemn expression on his face.

"Third Young Miss, His Highness the Crown Prince is present. He came here to visit you," Eunuch Fang said with a happy expression.

"Eunuch Fang, can I trouble you to tell His Highness the Crown Prince to wait? I think it's not appropriate to let him see me like this," Ren Zhilan said with a panic expression.

"Of course, third miss! This servant will leave," Eunuch Fang said and quickly left.

'Oh Highness the Crown Prince, I was thinking of how to get rid of you and now you came knocking on my door to be beaten up.'

Ren Zhilan actually plans to get rid of the crown prince but she never expects to be earlier than she expected. If the sheep offers itself to the wolf, why not eat it before it runs away? Ren Zhilan can't help but smile and when Ye Rui saw it, he felt chills down to his spine. He knew that his master have something on her mind and it seems it will be the Crown Prince's misfortune.
