She found a hidden key in a flowerpot on the windowsill.

Using it to open the door, she stepped in.

It was a small room but it was simple and clean. There was a single bed, several sets of neatly folded clothes, a table, a chair, and a lamp. Some of her paintings hung on the walls, which were so old that they were mottled.

This was a place that belonged entirely to Qi Yuan.

She had once helped a man named Jun Shan because of an accident, so she got the chance to settle in the old city.

She didn’t know the identity of the man called Jun Shan, but he had absolute authority in the Old Town.

No one even dared to use the name of Jun Shan here. Therefore, after Qi Yuan said the name of Jun Shan, everyone retreated without a question as someone would naturally verify it.

Of course, even without Junshan, not many people could touch her now.

Qi Yuan had come here just to rest.

Whether it was the Qi family, which was golden on the outside but rotten on the inside, or the unique mansion Imperial Park in Jiang Lin, they were not her home.

She didn’t deserve to go back to her biological parents’ home.

But homeless souls eventually needed a place to settle.

Hence, she treated this place where she belonged as her home.

Qi Yuan washed away the dust and ignored the bruises and her sore throat from the smoke. She curled up on her cot and went to sleep.

Not long after, Qi Yuan frowned in her sleep.

After her rebirth, she could not sleep well. Once she did, she would fall into the nightmares of her previous life.

She seemed to have forgotten dinner. It seemed to have rained in the night as it was a little cold. The delicate figure on the small bed curled up even more.

Sick body, tired soul.

The world was big, and she was alone.

… .

Qi Yuan was woken up by her ringing phone.

Frowning, she pressed the answer button.

“Hello, Qi Yuan, I’m Director Wu from the Academic Affairs Office of the Chinese Arts Academy. Your family has applied for your expulsion. Come to the school today to sign the papers.” The middle-aged woman’s tone was commanding.

Qi Yuan’s head hurt from the loud voice in the receiver. She said in a slightly cold voice, “I didn’t agree to drop out.”

The former Qi Yuan was afraid of being kicked out of the house and not being allowed to go to school.

She loved painting, loved the colors and lines and cherished the opportunity to learn.

Yesterday, she tricked Xu Ling. She knew that Xu Ling would definitely do something to mess with her studies.

She just hadn’t expected it so soon.

Director Wu said impatiently, “You have no right to disagree. Your grades are lousy and you have no talent at all. The withdrawal has been completed. I’m not asking for your opinion. I’m just telling you.”

‘Bad grades?’

She had gotten into the Chinese Arts Academy as the top student in the cohort.

It was just that the Qi family usually did not allow her to stand out and asked her to write for Qi Yanran, saying that could be a way of repaying their kindness of raising her. As for her own paintings, she could not even use her own style and could not be outstanding.

No matter how good her results were, the Qi family would not allow her to stand out. Otherwise, they would threaten to not let her go to school.

Therefore, Qi Yuan precisely controlled her score in every test to a bare pass. It looked like her results were indeed not good, but she had never failed a subject before, so it was not bad either.

Qi Yuan remembered who Director Wu was. It was Xu Ling’s sister-in-law, Wu Siya.

It was not difficult to understand why she had expelled her without asking her permission and was so rude.

On the phone, Wu Siya was still saying nasty things. “Qi Yuan, I’m very busy and don’t have time to talk nonsense with you. If you don’t come to school today, I’ll get someone to throw your dormitory belongings out.”

“Today?” Qi Yuan asked.

“That’s right. Today.” Wu sounded certain.

Qi Yuan suddenly thought of something and chuckled.

Wu said angrily, “What are you laughing at? Do you think I’m joking with you?”

Qi Yuan said calmly, “No, I’ll be at school today.”

When Wu Siya heard Qi Yuan agree, she couldn’t be bothered to say anything else and hung up.

Today!

She had almost forgotten that today was the seventieth anniversary of the Chinese Arts Academy.

The school had invited many famous people from the outside world. Wu Siya wanted her to go today. Heh, she wanted her to be expelled in front of these people. She wanted to cut off her painting path!

However, Qi Yuan remembered that some interesting things could also happen during this school celebration.

Qi Yanran took one of her semi-finished Hanmei paintings and made a name for herself at the school’s anniversary celebration. Because of this painting, she was even noticed and acknowledged by Master Li Hongjun from the Chinese painting world.

Li Hongjun had never accepted a disciple in his life. To be able to become acknowledged as a student could be considered a glorious achievement in her life.

Qi Yanran dreamed of becoming Li Hongjun’s disciple.

Since she had to go today, how about she snatch this teacher from her?
