The Geared Immortal

Chapter 948

(Unedited)

…

"Hey… hey… Stop that. Hihi… By the way, this is… Ahhh… I forgot to ask your name…" Ji Yaolin said with a chuckle while trying to push her friend away from her and then looking at Shin Jiao.

This time the waitress turns her attention to the handsome-looking young man who is with her two friends. She showed a faint smile on her face then looks at her two friends with a hint of suspicion.

Shin Jiao, on the other hand, showed a faint smile on his face then said.

"You can call me Si Ji."

Shin Jiao once again used the name Si Ji as it is one of his favorite monikers.

"You acted so mysteriously back in the ship that I forget to ask your name. Anyway, once again, I am Ji Yaolin, and these are my friends… Ting Fanwan, you already knew her, and this is Cao Binyu, one of the genius mages of this year." Ji Yaolin said with a hint of playfulness.

"Hihi… Genius, it too farfetched, if you said beauty, then that would describe me the best… Hihi… Nice to meet you, Si Ji… Oh, by the way, do you already have a fiancée?" Cao Binyu suddenly asked.

When the two heard this, they look at her with a shocked expression. They did not know that their friend would be so straightforward as to ask a man if he has a fiancée. But the two are also interested and turn their attention to Shin Jiao with glimmering eyes.

Shin Jiao did not know what to say to these three women, so he just told them half of the truth.

"Fiancée I have none…" Shin Jiao said while tilting his head to look outside.

Of course, he does not have any fiancée, he has two wives. The other one already left him though.

He could see the busy street of the capital city. The Capital is a big city, however, its street are like in the olden times of a mix of European and Chinese culture.

There are many people walking all over the place wearing robes and light gowns, while vendors in ragged clothing could be seen at the side of the road. Taverns, restaurants, and shops could be seen almost everywhere.

The city's busy street is something different from those in small cities, towns, and the villages outside.

The difference is the number of people roaming on the streets and the number of people wearing nice clothes, which shows their clan and the power these families hold in the capital.

There is a saying that the number of officials in the capital is too numerous that if you toss a stone in the air, it would hit one or two officials casually walking by.

From what Shin Jiao could tell, this might not be just any humor.

After lunch, the group walks out of the restaurant and this time Cao Binyu came with them as it is already her off from work.

"Are we going to your house, Yaolin? I think your mom would already be worried about you." Cao Binyu asked.

"Yep, but before that, we need to bring this guy to the academy first. He needs to register as a new student."

Shin Jiao wanted to say no, but he did not say anything and just go with the flow. It is rare for him to be this free, so why not follow these people and see what happens next.

While the four of them are walking towards the Alto Magus Academy, they encountered a group of people wearing long black mage cloaks with the insignia of the Alto Magus Academy.

When the group saw the three young women, they showed delighted expressions on their faces with a hint of mockery in their smiles.

"Why… if it isn't the lovely miss of the Ji clan, Ji Yaolin. I heard Gaofan left you… Haha…" a frivolous-looking young man said with a smirk in his eyes.

"Yeah, he left you because… He said that you're like a block of wood. Can't even satisfy him in bed… Hahaha…" another one chimed in.

Their words immediately stunned Ji Yaolin…

"What? What are you talking about?" shouted Ji Yaolin.

"Oh, come on… Since you were gone, your reputation has already fallen to such a low. Acting like a pure virgin when you've already been sullied… Hihihi… You truly are a crafty woman." A female from the group said with a smirk.

"You… How… How dare you slander me?!" Ji Yaolin's face suddenly became beat red in anger and shame as she is unable to take the insult.

She's been really friendly and kind to many and would not offend just anyone. This is because she is trying to uphold the reputation of her family. However, how could she defend herself when someone has already ruined her reputation?

  This is truly a great blow to her chastity and status.

As a young maiden in an influential clan in the Capital, she would face harsh reprimand from her parents for being disgraced.

So how could she accept such a thing?

She looks at her two friends who are also angry, but unable to say something.

Ting Fanwan just grabs her hand and squeezes it to calm Ji Yaolin's emotion.

Suddenly, a young man from the group steps forward and showed a faint smile on his face. When Ji Yaolin saw this young man, she immediately glared at him in anger.

"You…" she wanted to say something but gets cut off by his words.

"Yaolin… I know that you resent me for breaking up with you. But since we have already done that thing, I am willing to accept you if you come back to me." Fung Gaofan said with a charming smile on his face.

When Ji Yaolin saw his smile, she felt repulsed by his handsome face.

It was not him that left her, but her. She found out that he is having other women in their relationship, so she immediately decided to break up with him. But the Fung family did not let this be.

Because of her tumultuous feelings, she left the Capital and traveled with Ting Fanwan.

From the words, these people are saying and the murmur from the surroundings, it seems that the Fung family has spread some rumors about Fung Gaofan and her.

The expression of the man has made Shin Jiao squint a bit as he watches this fiasco with interest. He already knew that this guy is talking rubbish.

From the reaction of the woman, he could not help but feel that this guy is lying. But of course, he would not go as far as to check the woman with his spiritual sense. However, from their scent alone, he could already tell that these three beside him have not done those things between a man and a woman yet.

He did not say anything and just watch on the side.

"Gaofan… you're shameless. You have other women behind my back and you have the audacity to say that you left me? Shame on you!" Ji Yaolin suddenly erupted in anger.

"Other women? What are you saying?" Fung Gaofan tried to deny.

"Ha! I saw you with my own eyes and now you want to deny it?"

"Haha… Oh, I see it now… You just wanted a new guy because you are not satisfied with my family standing, is that it? Hehe… But does this new guy knew that you are already a loose woman?" Fung Gaofan said while he shifted his gaze to Shin Jiao who is standing calmly on the side.

He could not deny the fact that the young man before him is far better looking than he is. Plus from one look, he could already tell that many of the women around him have been stealing glances at that guy. And this made him feel discontent.

He is known as one of the top ten most charming guys in the academy, how could he accept that Ji Yaolin was stolen by someone who is better looking than him?

"Pfft…" this time Cao Binyu could not help but chuckle.

"I never expect that men could also feel jealousy… Hihi… What a petty guy." She smirks.

Hearing her words the expression of Fung Gaofan changes. He did not expect that the Ji Yaolin he knew, who would is always a subservient woman, would talk back at him. He could not accept it.

She belongs to the noble house of Ji. And that noble house values their face more than anything else. He spreads this humor so that the house of Ji would force Ji Yaolin to be married to him.

But he and his friends accidentally met her in this place. He did not plan for this to happen so he is feeling a bit worried. However, how could he just back away?

And so, he just sticks with his version of the lie and pushes through with it.

While the two groups are glaring at each other, another group appears from the side of the road.

This group is composed of young men bearing a regal aura in them.

"It's the 5th prince group!" cried one of the young women in the crowd.
