Chapters 10-13

Wang Fu Ya lowered her head and bit her lip bitterly. Everyone seemed to be looking at her, but not in the way she wanted. Her classmates looked at her hatefully and the teacher looked at her with disappointment. Her good reputation was ruined, and she blamed Yu Qi for it.

Yu Qi was also looking at her with a provocative expression, no longer the kind girl she once was. Wang Fu Ya refused to admit that she had stolen Yu Qi's essay and claimed it as her own, as doing so would further damage her reputation. However, she could not deny Yu Qi's evidence.

Teacher Guan sighed. She had thought Wang Fu Ya was a good student, both academically and in her attitude. She did not expect her to do something like this, but the evidence was clear.

"Miss Wang Fu Ya, did you steal Yu Qi's essay and claim it as your own?" Teacher Guan asked, breaking the silence.

Wang Fu Ya did not answer. She was caught between a rock and a hard place.

"Miss Wang Fu Ya and Miss Wang Yu Qi, please follow me to the staff room. The rest of you, please self-study." Teacher Guan collected the papers and left the classroom.

Yu Qi and Wang Fu Ya followed, but Yu Qi walked with a relaxed gait while Wang Fu Ya walked anxiously. She turned to glare at Yu Qi, who was smiling confidently.

When Yu Qi caught Wang Fu Ya staring at her, she turned to her and gave a cold, icy smile. Wang Fu Ya felt shocked and fearful, feeling as if someone were holding a knife to her neck. When they arrived at the staff room, the teacher ordered them to wait inside.

Yu Qi and Wang Fu Ya entered the room in silence and sat down on opposite sides of a sofa.

"Why are you doing this?" At last, Wang Fu Ya could not stand the silence and asked.

"What?" Yu Qi played dumb.

"This whole situation. Why are you doing this to me? My reputation is ruined because of you." Wang Fu Ya pressed her voice firmly.

"I am just doing the right thing. If I did not tell them the whole thing, I would be the one who has been punished by the teacher." Yu Qi pointed out the obvious fact.

"But with this, my reputation...And also, I'm your sister," stated Wang Fu Ya.

"Then, let me ask you. Do you think of me as your sister? Does a sister use her sister to do her own things? Do you care about my reputation? You never cared about my reputation. Then why should I care about your reputation?" Yu Qi narrowed her eyes and made an icy smile.

'That smile again.' Wang Fu Ya shivered. She stepped back from Yu Qi. She felt that the current Yu Qi could jump onto her and kill her.

Wang Fu Ya was standing near the door, fearing that Yu Qi might injure her. If Yu Qi attacked her, she would run out first. Meanwhile, Yu Qi did not pay any attention to her. She did not want to hurt or injure her. She knew if she injured Wang Fu Ya, the teacher might start to believe Wang Fu Ya. After all, Wang Fu Ya was a white lotus.

Wang Fu Ya might not know this, but the room had two CCTV cameras located at one on the framed picture and another one behind the vase. She also knew that other teachers were watching inside the room. She took a glance at the two cameras and flashed a smile.

The other teachers watching this were shocked. They clearly saw one of the students inside that room smile at them. All the students should not know about this, whether the room has a CCTV camera or its location. Maybe it was just a coincidence.

Teacher Guan entered the room. Seeing Wang Fu Ya standing near the door, she asked her to sit on the sofa beside Yu Qi. She began to talk.

"Miss Wang Fu Ya, did you admit to doing this?" The same question had been asked to Wang Fu Ya.

"Yes." She admitted with a slow voice. She had to admit it. Just Yu Qi and Teacher Guan were here. No one would know it. "Please Teacher Guan, forgive me. Yu Qi, please forgive me." She began her white lotus act.

Yu Qi only smiled. She knew why Wang Fu Ya confessed here instead of in front of their classmates. Wang Fu Ya thought if she confessed here and reflected on the mistake, Teacher Guan might not be persuasive in this matter. The matter would end here, in this room. She really never thought there were some teachers watching her and her act.

"Yu Qi, what are your thoughts on this matter?" Teacher Guan turned her view to Yu Qi.

"It's best if we ended this matter here. Miss Wang already apologized to me. Moreover, this matter is not really big." She mentioned Wang Fu Ya apologizing to her because she knew that Wang Fu Ya really looked down on her. She always thought that Yu Qi was nothing but an orphan. So, when Wang Fu Ya apologized to her, it might have been a blow to her.

Wang Fu Ya made a small smile. She would deal with this slut later. Wait until Yu Qi was going home, no one could help her anymore. Teacher Guan released the two of them. They walked through the corridor.

"Just wait until you're at home. You will not keep that arrogant look anymore." Wang Fu Ya said before she entered their classroom.

Yu Qi only smiled. 'What? Wait for me at home. You will never have that opportunity.' She never planned to go back to that house again. She had already packed her personal belongings and put them together in her space after confirming it with Bo Ya.

'Oh, Master. That is why you put your things in the space before leaving the house.' Bo Ya was excited watching her master dealing with that white lotus.

'Yes. Now we have to find temporary shelter. I will have to ask my boss whether she can help us with that.' Yu Qi entered the classroom.

The classroom became silent when she entered it. Without paying attention to it, she sat in her seat and looked out the window. She felt dazed until someone came to her seat. She looked up and saw Shen Mei with an angry expression looking at her.

"What?" She asked.

"Why did you do it?" Shen Mei asked the same question as Wang Fu Ya. Really boring with this question.

"Do what?" She decided to play with her.

"You know what I'm talking about." Shen Mei increased her volume.

"So, what?"

"Why would Fu Ya steal your essay when she can do it better than you?" Yu Qi really wanted to laugh when she heard that question.

"You should ask your best friend about that. I am really curious about that. Why she stole my essay." She paused a little bit and looked at Wang Fu Ya and continued, " Miss Wang, why did you do it? Your best friend said you could do better than me. So you, why did you do it?" Now, she asked Wang Fu Ya who was sitting not far from them with a firm voice, making everyone participate in this matter.

Wang Fu Ya's body froze when she heard Yu Qi ask her that. "You..." Shen Mei, who wanted to confront her, felt anxious. It was her decision to talk to Yu Qi.

Yu Qi was staring at them in a lazy manner. The matter had stopped when another teacher entered the classroom. The school session ended, and Yu Qi prepared to leave. Suddenly, she felt some hatred toward her. She knew that it was Wang Fu Ya. Wang Fu Ya was glaring at her with a hateful expression. After a few seconds, she turned and started to leave the classroom.

Leaving the school ground, she made her way to a part-time job. She was lucky since her part-time job was near the school. She was humming a tune.

'Bo Ya, can I enter the space?' She asked.

'Master, you don't need to ask. You can enter as you want. It's your space anyway.'

'I want to ask you something. When I enter the space, is it only my consciousness or all my body?' That bugged her. If all her body enters the space, Madam Sheng would think she went missing if she entered this room and found out she was missing.

'Master, don't worry. You can choose whatever you want. Space allows whether you want to enter your body or only your consciousness. Well, if you want to improve your body, you had better enter it with your body. Here, we have a lot of books to improve your body. If you only want to study, you may enter with your consciousness." Bo Ya explained.

'Ok." She quickly climbed onto the bed and positioned herself like she was sleeping. She only wanted to enter her space with her consciousness. This might help her if Madam Sheng came into the room and saw her like this and thought she was only sleeping. Then, she closed her eyes.

The next moment she opened her eyes, she saw Bo Ya running towards her and slamming into her body. He then hugged her legs because he was a short boy. Yu Qi felt dizzy with the overly warm situation.

"Master, I miss you." Bo Ya looked up with a cute expression.

"Miss me? Didn't I just talk to you just now?" She patted his head.

"That does not count because I cannot see your face." Bo Ya's face changed his expression from excited to sad. He continued, "I feel afraid that you do not want to see me. It's been a long time since I have had a master."

Yu Qi was smiling warmly. This boy was feeling unsecured. Yu Qi picked him up. "Don't worry, we will always be together. If you miss me, tell me. I will come to see you." She talked with a soft voice.

"Master, thank you."

"Let's enter the pagoda. I am really curious about what's in there." She walked with Bo Ya in her arms.

"Master, let me down. This is embarrassing to me." Yu Qi laughed. She put Bo Ya down.

Bo Ya walked in front of her and said, "Master, let me guide you." He really wanted to hear the greatness of this pagoda.

Yu Qi entered the pagoda. It was very big when they entered it. It also had a vintage Chinese smell. She really liked it when she first looked at it. She remembered in her previous life, she visited the famous pagoda in Myanmar, The Shwedagon Pagoda. The uniqueness and beauty of the Shwedagon Pagoda made her research all about it.

However, this pagoda was not lost in its uniqueness. This pagoda was built with eight-shaped edges. She could not guess how many floors this pagoda had. But the weirdest thing was that this pagoda seemed to have a lift.

"Bo Ya, you told me that this pagoda was here for a long time ago, right?" She asked.

"Yes." Bo Ya was looking at her master, waiting for the true question from Yu Qi.

"Then, why does this lift exist here?" She lifted her finger and pointed at the lift.

"Well, master. I actually don't know about this. It was there since I remembered it." Bo Ya felt weird about his master's question.

"Well, okay. If I think logically, this space alone is not a normal thing. What's weird if there was a lift in a pagoda?" She laughed when she thought about it.

"Master, this pagoda has unlimited knowledge. You just have to find it in the right place only. Let me teach you." Bo Ya pulled her hand, leading her to something like a big mirror.

Bo Ya asked her to stand in front of the mirror. Then the mirror started to awaken. Yeah, something like that.

"Master, what do you want to find?" The mirror seemed to talk to her.

Feeling lost, she turned to Bo Ya, who was standing beside her, for help.

Bo Ya understood his master's look. "Master, this is Mary. She takes care of this pagoda. Well, her job is more like a librarian in your world. Just say one thing that you want to learn about, she will take you to the floor that has things you want to learn. Master, you can try it yourself. The only master of this space can use it, which means you."

'This space really has an advanced system.' She thought about it and felt impressed by whoever built this pagoda. "I want to learn about medicine." She spoke to Mary.

"Medicine. Confirmation...Medicine. Master, please enter the lift. I will directly send you to the medicinal floor." The lift was opened.
