The Wicked Saintess Who Transmigrated into the Book Will Never Reveal Her Secret Identity

Chapter 74 : The Transfer Students Are the Hero and Saintess

The Transfer Students Are the Hero and Saintess========================================

"So, do you have any other objections~?"

Smiling with narrowed eyes at the elderly man before her, Jiang Cheng spoke.

The old man glanced at Lyle, who stood behind Jiang Cheng with his hand on his sword hilt, and replied,

"Since it is the wish of His Highness the Hero, of course it is fine," the old man said with a smile.

"Good",

Jiang Cheng nodded. "Mm~ you're quite sensible. In that case, please arrange for our temporary enrollment."

"Oh, and as for which class we'll join, it depends on our mood," she added, casually picking up the roster on the old man's desk and seemingly at random tapped, "Mm, we'll join this class."

As she spoke, Jiang Cheng pointed to the class where Noxia was.

"Understood, Your Highness Saintess," the old man said respectfully after glancing at Lyle and confirming he had no objections. He swiftly finished the procedures.

............

"Noxia, how's your cultivation assignment going? Wow, your flowers have bloomed wonderfully. Not for nothing are you known for your flowerbed-level talent."

The girl beside Noxia looked at the flowers blooming in the vase in her hands, her tone tinged with envy.

"It's nothing,"

Noxia replied with a gentle smile, her voice soft, "It's not as impressive as you imagine. I'm just using a vase; it has nothing to do with talent."

"That's true," the girl smiled. "It's just that you're amazing. I can't help but feel a little jealous."

"Haha."

Covering her mouth with a soft laugh, noxia said, "Don't praise me like that. I'll become arrogant."

"Ahem," came a voice from the doorway. A middle-aged woman pushed open the classroom door and spoke, "There's something, could I have everyone's attention for two minutes?"

"Go ahead, teacher," the students immediately quieted down, with a few responding.

"We're going to have two students transfer into our class for a while. Let's welcome them," the teacher began clapping, and the rest of the class followed her lead.

Yet, seeing those entering through the door accompanied by applause, noxia's eyes narrowed.

So they really did come. Looks like they weren't liars after all. In that case, revenge...

However, the teacher's next words made her pupils suddenly tremble in shock.

"These two transfer students are none other than the famous Hero and Saintess!" the teacher said proudly.

"What's the matter, noxia?"

Her friend looked at her, surprised by Noxia's visible trembling.

"What's there to be so shocked about just because it's the Saintess and Hero? You're a genius yourself, you know."

"It's nothing."

Noxia shook her head and replied softly, "I just admire them."

"Everyone, make sure to get along with them. This is your only chance to meet such prominent figures from the Temple of the Gods," the teacher said earnestly, glancing carefully at the two, "Would the two of you like to introduce yourselves?"

"Not interested, don't bother me,"

Jiang Cheng replied with a beaming smile, stepping forward and walking to the seat behind Noxia.

Looking at the students seated there, Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "Would you two mind giving up your seats for the Hero and me?"

"Uh, well..."

One hesitated, but the other, having heard the stories about Jiang Cheng, hastily tugged their seatmate and replied gingerly,

"Ah, of course, Your Highness Saintess. It's an honor for both you and the Hero to sit here."

With that, the two quickly collected their things and gave up the seats.

Seeing Jiang Cheng ignore her, the teacher looked slightly embarrassed and turned to Lyle.

Lyle nodded gently, saying simply, "Lyle. I'm supposedly the Hero. Please take care of me."

After that, he nodded to the teacher and joined Jiang Cheng.

"Long time no see, miss Noxia,"

Jiang Cheng smiled at the classmate ahead.

"Greetings, Your Highness Saintess,"

Noxia replied, her nerves showing just the right amount.

"Why keep up the telepathic act? No one else can hear us,"

Jiang Cheng sneered.

"tsk",

Noxia pursed her lips and replied coldly, "I just didn't expect that the people who randomly appeared yesterday, saying they wanted to help me, would turn out to be the infamous Black Saintess and her Hero."

"The Saintess and her Hero?"

Jiang Cheng echoed the phrase with amusement. "So, in your legends, the Hero is my subordinate?"

"Everyone knows the current Hero only follows the Saintess's lead,"

Noxia laughed lightly. "Sitting by while you send Adventurer City into chaos with countless casualties, and even helping the Saintess—none of this matches his reputation as the kindest Hero in history."

"If he were really that Hero, the moment he saw you yesterday, he would have already cut you down with his sword, don't you think? Miss Noxia, haunted by countless vengeful souls."

Jiang Cheng emphasized "vengeful souls" and "Miss" with a mocking tone.

But it wasn't just idle talk; in the original story, the first time Lyle met this new main party member, he did indeed swing his sword at her immediately.

Thankfully, noxia was one of the few in the main cast who could match Lyle in strength from the beginning, so after a fight, she was left unscathed.

It must be said that the karmic burden she carried from countless vengeful spirits—and the feedback from the Mandrake flower—were truly overpowered, easily making her top class.

"No need for your concern, Your Highness Saintess,"

Noxia said coldly. "I'll find a way to prove to the Hero that I'm not a bad person."

"But you're not exactly a good person either, are you?"

Jiang Cheng said with a smile. "Heading out to kill someone tomorrow night and still want to be seen as a hero? Do you think you're a magical girl?"

"Ha,"

Noxia sneered. "Doesn't matter. If it's for revenge, it's worth it."

"It's just someone else's hatred anyway,"

Jiang Cheng commented offhandedly. "Anyway, I won't stop you if you want to go out. But I'll only tell you the locations of those flowers in a few days."

"......"

After a brief silence, noxia finally said, "Alright."

Though her personality wasn't the best, influenced as she was by hatred and vengeful spirits, at least she was reasonable.

Since Jiang Cheng was helping her, waiting a few days for information was not an unreasonable request.

At worst, she would just keep investigating on her own for now. After all, with all the seeds removed, the people cultivating those flowers were bound to react.

"Alright,"

Lyle's voice broke in—it turned out he'd been listening quietly from the side the whole time, unable to interject.

"Let's focus on class for now. At least it keeps up appearances. With so many people around, let's talk about this after class."

Rolling her eyes, Jiang Cheng retorted, "The two of us don't even use flower magic. What's the point of us being here—learning flower arrangements?"

"Well..."

Lyle said, "But surely Noxia wants to..."

"She doesn't need to,"

Jiang Cheng interrupted. "Her path is different. Why do you think someone worthy of being called a flower-named top-tier even needs these lessons?"

"Just never went to school before, wanted to experience it,"

Lyle shook his head. "My teacher came from the traditional tower-apprenticeship system."

Hearing this, Jiang Cheng's heart trembled slightly, and she replied quietly, "Fine, just this once, I'll do as you say."

After all, she herself had barely gone to school, either.
