Chapter 1004: YUAN Mingchi Wrecked Ji Qingwei (1)
Chen Wenxin and Wu Wanying shared the same mentor. Initially, he also looked down on Si Fuqing, admitting it was his mistake to judge her without knowing the facts.
Later, he apologized multiple times, and Si Fuqing didn’t hold a grudge. Instead, she taught him many things, making him feel even more ashamed.
However, Wu Wanying still didn’t think she was in the wrong.
“Professor Li wants to see you,” Chen Wenxin shook his head. “Wu Wanying, this is your own doing.”
With that, he left with his roommates, leaving Wu Wanying standing there in a daze.
Great Xia University did not suppress the academic scandal as Wu Wanying had hoped. Instead, they issued a stern statement.@@@@
Any future offenders would be dealt with according to school regulations, with no leniency.
Great Xia University, the top school in the Great Xia Empire, also held a high international reputation.
The plagiarism scandal gained significant attention, and soon, Wu Wanying’s name was dug up.
[Oh, Wu Wanying, I remember her. In the first episode of ‘The Birth of a Staff,’ she had an arrogant attitude, looking down on everyone. Luckily, she didn’t appear much after that. I didn’t expect her to plagiarize her thesis too.]
[Look at Wei Chengyun and Chen Wenxin, both from Xia University. How can the difference be so vast?]
[Academic fraud? Who knows what she’d do as a doctor? I wouldn’t trust my health or life to someone like her.]
[Great Xia University’s stance is commendable. A top school is indeed a top school! Other universities should follow Great Xia University’s example!]
[Dear top scorers taking the college entrance exam this year, please don’t make it too competitive. Give us humble students a chance to get into Great Xia University.]
Teachers in Great Xia University’s admissions office suddenly found themselves swamped with work, baffled by the sudden increase.

The next morning, Si Fuqing received a call from YUAN Mingchi.
He said he had a surprise for her and asked her to come over.
After freshening up, Si Fuqing rode her bicycle to the address YUAN Mingchi had given.
YUAN Mingchi’s expression was complicated. “You’re riding a bike now?”
“Eco-friendly, saves money,” Si Fuqing said lazily as she dismounted. “What’s not to like?”
“Just unexpected,” YUAN Mingchi chuckled. “After all, I know you can pilot a rocket.”
But the benefits of cycling were indeed many. He thought he’d suggest to the finance department of Cloud Summit that everyone should cycle more.
“Fifth senior brother, what’s the surprise?” Si Fuqing curiously poked her head around. “Did you find a gold mine?”
“Little Nine, after four years, you’ve really become obsessed with money.” YUAN Mingchi laughed heartily. “I brought the person who stole your luck. Come see if it’s her.”
Si Fuqing finally noticed a person lying unconscious under a tree behind YUAN Mingchi.
This was her first time seeing Ji Qingwei in person.
With just one glance, she felt an innate repulsion, stronger than when she had seen Old Master Zuo’s corpse.
“It’s her,” Si Fuqing nodded. “How did you bring her out?”
YUAN Mingchi replied nonchalantly, “Orochi brought her.”
The miniaturized Yamata no Orochi wagged its tail happily.
“Impressive,” Si Fuqing praised.
YUAN Mingchi glanced at Yamata no Orochi, which immediately became obedient.
He sighed, rubbing his temples. “Since it’s your request, how could I refuse?”
“I knew you’re the best to me, fifth senior brother.” Si Fuqing blinked. “Look, now you have an extra sparring partner, killing two birds with one stone.”
YUAN Mingchi smiled helplessly, agreeing to everything. “Alright, alright. I’ll accompany you back to An City before returning to the Free State.”

Meanwhile, at the Ji residence.
Ji Qingwei’s sudden disappearance nearly drove Mrs. Ji insane. The butler and servants searched the entire residence but couldn’t find her.
Just moments earlier, Ji Qingwei had been quietly staying in the bedroom, making it impossible for her to have left.
Mrs. Ji felt as if she had seen a ghost.
Just before she was about to call the police, Ji Qingwei’s personal maid ran out excitedly. “Madam, Second Miss is in her room. She hasn’t gone anywhere!”
Mrs. Ji was stunned and hurried to the bedroom, finding Ji Qingwei indeed lying on the bed.
She approached, waking Ji Qingwei. “Qingwei, where did you go? Even though your health has improved, don’t wander off.”
Ji Qingwei pressed her lips together, confused. “I’ve been sleeping here the whole time. I didn’t go anywhere.”
The international joint examination was starting at the end of June.
Before Mrs. Ji could question further, she noticed something odd. “Qingwei, your face...”
“What’s wrong with my face?” Ji Qingwei turned to look in the mirror and screamed. “What’s wrong with my face?”
This wasn’t her appearance! It wasn’t!
Her face hadn’t been tampered with, yet it looked completely different from before.
It wasn’t disfigured, but it now resembled Mrs. Ji and Ji Longtai more, losing all its previous charm.
Ji Qingwei was terrified.
She hadn’t coughed up blood in days, so why had her appearance changed?
At this rate, would she lose her life too?
When would her godfather come to save her?
But all she could do was sit and wait, watching helplessly as Si Fuqing continued to take her luck.
Ji Qingwei’s face turned pale, and she spoke in a trembling voice, “Mom, I might be too tired. Let me rest, okay?”
Hearing this, Mrs. Ji swallowed her questions, her concern taking over. “Alright, rest well. Call me if you need anything.”
She left the room but couldn’t shake her unease, immediately heading to Guanghua Temple.
The monk, having received a recent donation, was overseeing repairs to the main temple.
“Master!” Mrs. Ji rushed forward. “Master, my daughter’s health is worsening. Please come and see her.”
Ji Qingwei’s face had subtly changed, but she was no longer as beautiful, even less so than Ji Qingyao.
A thorn had lodged itself in Mrs. Ji’s heart.
The monk turned around, his gaze indifferent. “You still don’t know?”
Mrs. Ji was confused. “What should I know?”
