Chapter 174 The Villain Lady Arrives 2
Chi Meng stepped out of the luxurious carriage, lifted her skirt slightly, and walked lightly towards the majestic gate of the magic academy. The sun shone on her body, and her golden hair fluttered gently in the breeze, like a fairy walking out of a painting.
Just as she was about to step into the gate of the academy, she heard a flurry of footsteps in the distance. She glanced to the side and saw a girl in a white skirt running towards her in a panic, seemingly not noticing the pedestrians in front of her. Just as the girl was about to bump into a man in luxurious clothes, she suddenly raised her head with a flash of fear in her eyes, but it was too late.
"Ouch!" With a cry, the girl and the man bumped into each other. The man's guards rushed over immediately and pressed the girl to the ground cautiously.
"What are you doing! Let me go!" the girl struggled and shouted, with a pitiful light flashing in her eyes.
Chi Meng frowned slightly and walked forward. The man who was hit was the original owner Vivian's fiancé, the third prince of the empire, Alros. He was wearing a gorgeous brocade robe and had a handsome face. At this moment, he was frowning and looking at the girl who was pressed to the ground.
"Stop!" Alros waved his hand, signaling the guards to retreat. He squatted down and asked with concern: "Girl, are you okay?"
The girl raised her head, tears glistening in her eyes, and looked at Alros pitifully. She shook her head and said in a trembling voice: "I... I'm fine, it's just... I just bumped into you accidentally."
Alros smiled and said gently, "It's okay, just be careful next time. Which family are you from? Why have I never seen you before?"
The girl lowered her head and said in a voice as thin as a mosquito: "I... I am just the daughter of a commoner family, my name is Alice. Today is the first day of the magic academy, I... I want to try my luck."
After hearing this, Alros' eyes flashed with admiration. He stood up, reached out and helped Alice up from the ground, and said softly, "Miss Alice, your courage is admirable. Since you are also here to register at the Magic Academy, come in with me."
Alice raised her head, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She nodded and thanked him quickly: "Thank you, Your Highness the Third Prince! You are so kind!"
Chi Meng also just walked to the gate and was about to enter the academy, but was attracted by the scene in front of her. She stood quietly aside, with a hint of amusement in her eyes. When she saw Alice about to follow the third prince into the carriage, a clear and slightly sarcastic sneer broke the silence around her.
"Haha, what an interesting scene." Chi Meng's voice was not loud, but it was loud enough for everyone present to hear clearly. Her laughter was like a spring hitting a rock, crisp and pleasant, but with a hint of chill.
When the third prince Alros heard this laughter, his heart tightened. He turned his head and his eyes were instantly fixed on Chi Meng. He saw a blonde girl standing there. The sunlight shone on her body, as if she was covered with a golden halo. Her eyes revealed a noble and indifferent temperament that made people dare not look directly at her.
A hint of disgust flashed across Alros's eyes, but he quickly hid it. He put on a surprised expression and walked quickly towards Chi Meng. Although he had no feelings for Chi Meng in his heart, he had to pretend to be affectionate at this moment.
"Vivian, you're finally here!" Alros stretched out his hands, trying to hold Chi Meng's hand. However, Chi Meng cleverly avoided his hand with a playful smile on her face.
"Your Highness, you are so forgetful." Chi Meng's voice was cold, "Do you still remember who your fiancée is?"
Alros was stunned by Chi Meng's question, and then he realized his mistake. He quickly explained: "Vivian, you misunderstood. I just felt sorry for Miss Alice and wanted to help her. I don't have any improper thoughts about her."
Chi Meng sneered, her eyes revealing a bit of disdain. She said lightly: "Oh? Really? That's a coincidence. I just happened to feel sorry for Miss Alice and wanted to help her."
Chi Meng walked up to Alice and helped her up from the ground. She looked at Alice's pitiful eyes and said softly, "Miss Alice, since you are also here to register at the Magic Academy, come in with me. I will arrange everything for you."
Alice should have been delighted to hear Chi Meng's words, but a trace of humiliation appeared on her face. She raised her head, and her clear eyes were filled with determination and resoluteness, as if an unyielding force was burning in them.
"Miss Vivian, I appreciate your kindness." Alice's voice was trembling, but her tone was very firm. "But I don't need your pity or charity. I came to the magic academy to prove my strength and talent, not to use the back door or rely on the help of others."
Chi Meng was slightly stunned. She didn't seem to expect Alice to reject her so directly. She frowned slightly, looking at Alice's stubborn face, and sneered in her heart.
"Ms. Alice, I think you may have misunderstood." Chi Meng's tone softened a little. "I'm not pitying you. I just think you have potential and are qualified to enter the magic academy. Also, I didn't say you have to use a backdoor or rely on my help. I just want to provide you with an opportunity so that you can better display your talents."
However, Alice did not change her attitude because of Chi Meng's explanation. She took a deep breath and continued, "Ms. Vivian, I know you are from a noble family and have advantages that we cannot match. However, I don't think these advantages are the only reason why you entered the magic academy. I believe that you must have your own efforts and talents. However, I don't want to rely on your help to enter the magic academy. I want to prove my strength through my own efforts."
When Chi Meng heard this, his face became serious and he said coldly, "Ms. Alice, you are too confident. The magic academy is a place with fierce competition. It is not easy for a commoner like you to gain a foothold. Moreover, do you think that you can enter the magic academy with your own strength just because you refuse my help? It's a joke!"
Alice's face turned red due to Chi Meng's words. She bit her lips tightly, with a stubborn light flashing in her eyes.
She knew she was not qualified to argue with a noble lady like Chi Meng, but she did not want to give up her dream so easily. She took a deep breath and tried to make her voice sound more determined:
"Ms. Vivian, I admit that I am a commoner and do not have the family background like you. However, I believe that everyone has their own shining points. As long as you work hard, you will be able to realize your dreams. Moreover, I do not mean to look down on the nobles or laugh at you. I just want to say that we should compete on an equal footing, rather than relying on family background or background to gain an advantage."
