Regarding Sister Jin's question, Nian Jiaojiao naturally did not reveal that she had already reached the third level of the Object Control Realm.
The greatest difference between the Object Driving Realm and the Object Control Realm is that the Object Control Realm can control objects.
When Nian Jiaojiao fled with Cui Qingluo earlier, she was still in the Object Driving Realm, thus, despite using poetry, she could not control direction or distance.
The Object Control Realm, however, could achieve this.
Therefore, when she brought her five husbands to the Royal City, she felt so at ease using her abilities.
"I've been detached for two years?"
Nian Jiaojiao replied tentatively.
However, her answer startled the two.
Sister Jin further inquired:
"Looking at your age on your identity card, you're just barely eighteen. Does that mean you became detached at sixteen?"
Nian Jiaojiao nodded.
This was not a lie.
She had indeed become detached at sixteen, and had now reached the Object Control Realm.
"Then you can address me and her by our names, as we are of the same generation. I am Jin Xue, and this is Hou Dongqing."
After Jin Xue introduced herself, she gestured to the woman beside her who was holding a pen.
Nian Jiaojiao also greeted the two with a smile.
"Are you staying at the Gongyuan or do you have your own residence?" Hou Dongqing asked Nian Jiaojiao.
"I'm staying outside."
"Alright then, we won't arrange accommodation for you here. The wooden box next to it contains the Gongyuan student's clothes and student ID, and other items. Take the box with you."
Nian Jiaojiao looked towards the wooden box the other person had mentioned.
She saw a large wooden chest painted with cinnabar lacquer and adorned with gilded floral patterns opposite her.
She walked over and easily lifted the wooden chest with one hand, then bid farewell to the two and turned to leave.
"Hey! Wait!"
A somewhat anxious female voice called from behind.
Nian Jiaojiao placed the wooden chest down and looked at Jin Xue.
"Is there anything else?" Nian Jiaojiao asked, confused.
Jin Xue hurried over to her, her lips twitching slightly, "Um, I said the wooden box."
Nian Jiaojiao looked inside the room, but there was only this one wooden box in the entire room. Had she taken the wrong one?
At this moment, Jin Xue bent down, opened the wooden chest in front of her, and said:
"See, it's the box inside this."
Nian Jiaojiao looked inside and saw about ten wooden boxes within the wooden chest. It was no wonder the other party was so anxious, as she had prepared to take the entire chest.
She smiled sheepishly.
"I'm sorry, Jin Xue."
Jin Xue's expression was a little strange, saying:
"I know we have more strength after becoming detached, Jiaojiao, you don't need to rush to show everyone..."
Nian Jiaojiao: ...
...
After a while, Nian Jiaojiao, carrying the wooden box, arrived at the entrance of the Gongyuan, where a beautiful young girl approached her.
She wore a blue long robe, with silver thread embroidered cloud patterns on the cuffs and collar. Her waist was cinched with a wide sash of green auspicious clouds, and her hair was tied up with a jade-inlaid silver crown. The luster of the silver crown made her dark hair appear shiny and smooth.
Nian Jiaojiao's eyes lit up.
What a noble lady!
Her aura put the peers she met during the Qiu family's family competition to shame.
The beautiful young girl opposite her also had her eyes light up upon seeing Nian Jiaojiao.
What a peerlessly elegant and refined woman!
As the two made eye contact, Nian Jiaojiao smiled and nodded at the other before continuing forward.
"Wait a moment."
The beautiful young girl suddenly spoke.
Nian Jiaojiao stopped and asked, "Is there something you need?"
The beautiful young girl stared at her face and said:
"I'm a new student here, and I don't know how to get to the place where we receive our items. Could you please lead me there?"
Nian Jiaojiao apologized:
"I'm sorry, I'm also a new student. Although I've already received my items, I'm not familiar with many places. From what I know, there are multiple registration points here. Which one are you going to?"
"I need to go to the courtyard of the Poetry School. Do you know how?"
The beautiful young girl blinked her eyes at Nian Jiaojiao.
Nian Jiaojiao didn't find anything strange about it.
After all, it was normal for young girls to be cute!
"Then I'm afraid I can't help you. You'll have to ask someone else."
After Nian Jiaojiao replied, she thought the other person would leave immediately, but unexpectedly, the other person seemed to want to continue the conversation.
"Well, since we are both new female students entering the Gongyuan, we will be classmates from now on. My name is Qin Bingbing, and I belong to the Poetry School."
After saying this, this "woman" named Qin Bingbing looked at Nian Jiaojiao with expectation.
At this moment, although Nian Jiaojiao appeared outwardly calm, over ten thoughts flashed through her mind.
Oh my god! What is happening!
Don't mess with me!
Qin Bingbing? I think it should be Qin Binbin!
Isn't Qin Binbin the first male lead in the book, the son of the Prince of Qingzhou?
Why is he here studying at the Gongyuan?
And he entered the Poetry School?
And he's disguised as a woman?
It seems the other party has already become detached...
Nian Jiaojiao recalled the description of this male lead in the book.
Among the husbands of Nian Zhenzhen, this male lead was relatively normal in temperament.
Note.
Here "relatively!"
Even though he looks approachable now, he is actually a true "yandere white lotus"!
For those he likes, he is:
You speak so well!
You've done so wonderfully!
...
For those he is indifferent to or dislikes, he is:
Get lost!
I don't think you need those eyes! kuAiδugg
Leaving those arms on you is a waste.
Take them out and feed them to the dogs!
...
Thinking of the words this person used most often in the book, Nian Jiaojiao found it difficult to feel any closeness towards this seemingly harmless person.
She took a few steps back and said:
"Ah, I just remembered I have something to do at home, so I'll be going ahead."
After speaking, she quickly left the place without waiting for the other person to respond.
Watching Nian Jiaojiao's retreating back, Qin Binbin's smile disappeared, and his brows furrowed.
At this moment, he was utterly perplexed.
He should have met this woman for the first time, and furthermore, he was disguised as a woman.
Why did the other party seem so eager to leave as soon as she heard his name?
After officially enrolling, he must spend more time with her to resolve this "misunderstanding"...
...
Returning home.
Nian Jiaojiao quickly poured tea and drank it all down.
She casually wiped the tea stains from the corner of her mouth with her sleeve, feeling somewhat speechless in her heart.
The female lead hasn't shown up to cause trouble, but why are the female lead's "husbands" jumping in front of her one by one?
"Wife, don't use your sleeve, use a handkerchief."
Tong Ziyao handed her a clean white handkerchief, with an exquisite orchid embroidered on one corner.
Nian Jiaojiao said sheepishly:
"I've already wiped it clean. It won't happen again, but your handkerchief is so beautiful, I can't bear to use it."
