It turned out that these people had all heard that Ling Luoyi was their sister, so they were eager to make friends with them. There were too many of them at once, so they surrounded Ling Luoyu and the others.
Ling Luoyi was mentally prepared for these matters. Although the Ling family was reclusive, they could not avoid interacting with the outside world, so these matters were unavoidable and they could only get used to them.
Ling Luochen coughed a few times, and when everyone's attention fell on him, he said, "Fellow senior brothers, senior sisters, junior brothers, and junior sisters, we will be studying in the academy for a long time, so there will be plenty of time to make friends. My sister will be leaving in a few days, so we want to take her and her friends to tour Nanxin City for the next two days. Please do not disturb us."
The others thought about it and said, "Since Senior Brother Ling wants to take Miss Ling around Nanxin City, why don't we lead the way? Senior Brother Ling, please rest assured, we are all from Nanxin City, and we know more about the fun places around here than Senior Brother Ling."
Ling Luochen looked at Ling Luoyi. When it came to fun places here, the people of Nanxin City knew more than them. Moreover, it was because of Ling Luoyi that they were so respectful to them.
Ling Luoyi naturally knew their intentions, so she refused, "No need. The Fourth Princess and Fifth Princess came to see me a few days ago and said they wanted to take me around Nanxin City. So, I won't trouble you all."
Among these people, she still had a better impression of these two princesses. Since a guide was needed, she naturally wanted to use someone she had a good impression of.
"This..."
They all wanted to seize this opportunity to befriend Ling Luoyi, but since she had refused, forcing the issue would only lead to animosity. Ling Luochen was right; they would be in the academy for a long time, and befriending Ling Luochen and the others was also a way of befriending Ling Luoyi.
After thinking it through, they said, "Since Senior Brother Ling wants to be with his family, we will not disturb you."
"Thank you."
Seeing them leave, Ling Luoyu and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing them like this, Ling Luoyi said, "Third Brother, aren't they just a bunch of kids? Do you have to be like this?"
Ling Luoyu rolled her eyes at her and said, "Lu'er, you don't know, do you? Although they are young, they are all scions of noble families from the Longqing Kingdom, and their status is not comparable to ours. Also, Lu'er, have you forgotten how old you are? Calling them kids?"
Ling Luoyi touched her chin and said with feigned seriousness, "Perhaps I've met mostly older people in the past few years. Seeing these eighteen or nineteen-year-olds now, I haven't adjusted yet."
Ling Luoyu frowned and asked, "Lu'er, where did you meet older people?"
Only Ling Qi, Ling Luochen, and Ling Luofan knew that Ling Luoyi had returned from another continent. Later, when Ling Huayu and the others returned, Ling Qi also told Ling Huayu. For Ling Luoyi's safety, they did not tell anyone else, so only these four knew.
Hearing Ling Luoyi's words, Ling Luochen's gaze involuntarily fell on Qiu Yuanxi beside them. He had also seen how Qiu Yuanxi arrived, so this Miss Qiu should also be from an upper continent. Did she know about Lu'er's experiences over the years?
Sensing the gaze, Qiu Yuanxi looked over suspiciously. Did Little Lu'er's eldest brother look at her like that because he wanted to ask something? However, it would be useless even if he wanted to ask, as she would not reveal Lu'er's affairs without her consent.
Qiu Yuanxi turned away arrogantly and asked, "Little Lu'er, when are we going to play?"
Hearing this, Ling Luoyi looked at Ling Li and asked, "Little Aunt, Third Brother and the others should have already shown you around the academy, right? Shall we go to the city together?"
"Okay. Anyway, Little Aunt will be staying in the academy from now on, so there's no rush."
"Little Aunt, since we're just going for a stroll, let's not take the carriage."
"Alright."
Then, Ling Luoyi and her group left the academy and met the Fourth and Fifth Princesses they had just mentioned at the entrance.
Shangguan Yuxuan and Shangguan Yuning had just alighted from their carriage when they saw the Ling family preparing to leave the academy. They exclaimed in surprise, "Miss Ling, what a coincidence!"
The two walked over and asked, "Miss Ling, where are you going?"
Seeing these two, Ling Luoyi couldn't help but touch her forehead. As expected, one shouldn't talk about people behind their backs.
Ling Luoyi's expression remained unchanged and she said, "Greetings to both princesses. We are preparing to admire the beautiful scenery of Nanxin City and experience its local customs and traditions."
Shangguan Yuning smiled and said, "It seems our sisters have arrived at the perfect time. If Miss Ling doesn't mind, we sisters can lead the way."
"Alright," Ling Luoyi said.
She didn't really want these two sisters to accompany them, but although they had many people, no one was familiar with Nanxin City. They would still need a guide. Since there was one readily available, why not use her?
Upon receiving Ling Luoyi's agreement, Shangguan Yuning was very happy and enthusiastically introduced the interesting places in Nanxin City.
Shangguan Yuning led the way, but Shangguan Yuxuan slowly moved to the back.
They only thought that Shangguan Yuxuan didn't like talking to them and didn't pay much attention to it.
Shangguan Yuxuan silently watched the person walking in front from behind.
Ling Luoyi noticed her actions but had no other thoughts besides curiosity.
Shangguan Yuning took them to all the worthwhile places in Nanxin City, such as Le Feng, Yang He Fang... and even the most famous Lian Lake in Nanxin City.
It was the blooming season, and the lotuses on the lake were competing in beauty, creating a prosperous scene. Fish swimming on the lotus leaves happily blew bubbles and occasionally leaped out of the water to play a few rounds, drawing gasps and laughter from the people on the shore.
Ling Luoyi looked at the tens of thousands of acres of lotus lake. Each lotus flower exuded a faint lotus fragrance, making those who smelled it forget their worries. A thick mist also floated on the lake, like a fairyland. It was indeed worthy of being the most famous place in Nanxin City.
That day passed quietly without any disturbances.
The next day, Shangguan Yuning and Shangguan Yuxuan came directly to the post station.
Qiu Yuanxi asked, "Your Highnesses, we admired the beautiful scenery yesterday. Can you take us to other fun places today? For example, good food or fun activities."
Shangguan Yuning was stunned for a moment, then thought about it and hesitantly said, "Then how about we go to the beast-fighting arena today?"
"Beast-fighting arena?" Qiu Yuanxi said excitedly, "Great, great! Let's go to the beast-fighting arena!"
Shangguan Yuning looked at Ling Luoyi and said, "Miss Ling, those who go to the beast-fighting arena are basically warlike people. Do we really want to go?"
"Yes," Ling Luoyi said. She then said to Qiu Yuanxi, "Yuan, don't confuse the beast-fighting arenas here with those there."
"I know," Qiu Yuanxi said, unable to hide her excitement.
Qiu Yuanxi was always warlike, but due to her status, she had to suppress herself. However, no one here knew her identity, so she didn't have to worry about it.
Today, Ling Luoyi had Zhu Shuang hire several carriages, so they picked up Ling Luochen and the others and headed straight for the beast-fighting arena.
Ling Luoyi had been to the beast-fighting arena in Yunyuan City. Although they were under the same faction, the scale in the middle country was twice as large as that in the lower country.
As soon as she entered, Ling Luoyi noticed that every brick and wood here was several times better than that in Yunyuan City, but it still couldn't catch her eye.
Not only her, but even Qiu Yuanxi, who had been clamoring to come, was disappointed when she saw the scene inside the beast-fighting arena.
