Great, it's just a lackey, we're saved!

Chapter 307 Entering the Illusion

The next day, Zhou Wei was woken up by someone pushing her.

She opened her eyes groggily and saw the princess staring at her with a smile.

"Weiwei, get up quickly, you'll be late for morning class," Jiang Yueli said as she sat in front of the bronze mirror combing her hair. "Master Wang is very strict. If you are late again, he will definitely punish you."

Zhou Wei looked at Jiang Yueli in front of her and felt that she looked somewhat unfamiliar.

This is... Jiang Yueli at fourteen or fifteen years old?

So this is what the eldest princess looked like when she was a teenager?

Her facial features hadn't yet hardened; her round face carried a charming innocence unique to young girls.

Seeing that Zhou Wei didn't get up but was staring at him.

Jiang Yueli touched her face somewhat embarrassedly: "Weiwei, what are you looking at?"

Zhou Wei smiled and shook her head: "Because you're pretty."

Jiang Yueli was taken aback, then frowned, walked to Zhou Wei's bedside, and reached out to touch her forehead.

"You don't have a fever, so why are you talking nonsense?"

Zhou Wei pushed Jiang Yueli's hand away and sat up on the bed.

"Let's go, didn't we say we'd be late for morning class?"

Following behind Jiang Yueli toward Mingzheng Hall, Zhou Wei carefully observed the surroundings.

She is still at Zhengshan Academy.

The academy was no longer as quiet as it had been yesterday; it was now quite lively.

Students emerged from their dormitories, books in hand, and headed toward Mingzheng Hall.

They chatted and laughed in twos and threes, dressed in the robes of Zhengshan Academy disciples, and each of them looked energetic and vibrant.

Jiang Yueli carefully examined the faces of these students, but she didn't recognize any of them.

That's a bit strange.

As far as Zhou Wei knew, illusions were generally derived from people's memories.

However, apart from Jiang Yueli, Zhou Wei didn't know any of these people.

Whose memories did the person who created this illusionary realm extract?

When Zhou Wei followed Jiang Yueli to Mingzheng Hall and saw the little monk and Tan Lin sitting inside, she knew what was going on.

It turns out that this illusion was not about extracting a person's memories.

Instead, it pieced together the memories of many people.

If Zhou Wei didn't recognize these students from the academy, then they were likely familiar faces to others.

However, it's really hard to tell which memory belongs to which person!

While she was lost in thought, she heard Tan Lin call out to Jiang Yueli to sit down quickly.

"You two are too late. If you delay any longer, the teacher will be here soon."

Zhou Wei looked Tan Lin up and down and found that Tan Lin had also grown into a teenager.

As for the little monk, he still looks the same, except this time he has hair.

Zhou Wei sat behind the little monk and couldn't help but reach out to touch his head, which provoked a protest from the little monk.

She smiled and began looking around.

"Strange, where are Jiang Zao, Shen Shuqing, and Wan Qianliang?"

Hearing Zhou Wei mutter to herself, Jiang Yueli asked, "Weiwei, do you know any disciples from the Divine Doctor Valley?"

Zhou Wei looked at her in confusion: "What disciple of the Divine Doctor Valley?"

“Those three you just mentioned are disciples from the Divine Doctor Valley who came to Zhengshan Academy to study,” Jiang Yueli said, raising her eyebrows. “However, the people from the Divine Doctor Valley have always been aloof and don’t interact with us much.”

Jiang was actually assigned to the Valley of Divine Healers in the illusion?

That's really interesting.

"And what about us?" Zhou Wei asked.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yueli was even more confused: "What do you mean, 'us'?"

"So, which region's disciples are we from?"

“Weiwei, you’re acting strangely today,” Jiang Yueli said, looking at her with some concern. “Where could we be disciples? We’re disciples of the academy!”

Disciples of the academy?

In other words, Zhou Wei, Jiang Yueli, and Zhu Qi, like Tan Lin, were all assigned to Zhengshan Academy.

Zhu Qi is not a monk from Kongshan Temple, and Zhou Wei and Jiang Yueli are not ordinary people from the secular world.

Why is it divided in this way?

Zhou Wei pondered deeply but couldn't grasp the key point.

After going through the details of the six people in her mind, Zhou Wei still frowned.

Moreover, she felt uneasy, as if she had overlooked something important.

The harder I tried to remember, the less I could recall it!

However, Zhou Wei has always been carefree, so since she couldn't remember, she didn't force it.

She asked the princess in a low voice, "Aren't the people from the Valley of Divine Healers in the same classes as us?"

Jiang Yueli said, "Disciples from outside the academy will be in a separate classroom. Unless there are special circumstances, they will not join the classes of the academy's students."

Zhou Wei nodded thoughtfully, and when she looked at Tan Lin, she suddenly thought of an important person.

Ji Zhengyao!

Ji Zhengyao resembled the eldest princess, came from the Tianji Pavilion, and was of the same generation as Tan Lin.

If they are also in the illusion, then they should be in the same class as Shen Shuqing and the others.

Zhou Wei planned to start with Ji Zhengyao, as she was genuinely curious about him.

The mysteries surrounding Ji Zhengyao remain unsolved to this day.

Lost in thought, Zhou Wei didn't snap out of it until Jiang Yueli nudged her with her elbow.

Zhou Wei looked up and saw that everyone in the classroom was turning to look at her.

These faces were completely unfamiliar to Zhou Wei.

Master Wang has arrived and is now staring at her with a serious expression.

Realizing something was wrong, Zhou Wei quickly stood up and bowed to Master Wang.

"The Master is courteous."

Master Wang's expression softened slightly, but his tone remained serious: "Zhou Wei, why didn't you answer the question I asked you earlier?"

Ok?

Did you ask any questions in the class just now?

Zhou Wei was so engrossed in thinking about Ji Zhengyao that she didn't hear him.

She told the truth: "I'm sorry, teacher, I was just lost in thought."

Master Wang was not an aggressive person. Seeing that Zhou Wei took the initiative to admit her mistake, he stopped pressing the issue.

He simply said, "In that case, answer my question from earlier."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Wei immediately felt the urge to go to the toilet, a habit she had developed since childhood.

She gets nervous whenever she's asked a question in class.

Most importantly, she didn't know what question the teacher had asked, nor what she was learning now.

He looked down and asked Jiang Yueli for help, and saw Jiang Yueli push a book over to him.

Zhou Wei looked closely and almost screamed in surprise.

Advanced Mathematics

What the hell?!

Is this something that can appear in a dream world?

Or, to put it another way, was it appropriate for "Advanced Mathematics" to appear in ancient times?

Zhou Wei refused to believe it and reached out to open the book. After seeing the series of mathematical symbols, she was completely dumbfounded.

It really is that "Advanced Mathematics".

She suddenly felt a headache coming on. How could math possibly be used to hunt people down and kill them? She had transmigrated!

"Master, I can't answer that," Zhou Wei continued to tell the truth.

However, this time Master Wang did not let her off easily.

He said in an icy tone, "You can't even answer this question about buying a hundred peaches for a hundred coins? What right do you have to sit in the Mingzheng Hall?"

"Is it difficult to spend exactly one hundred coins to buy one hundred peaches, three fuzzy peaches, and three nectarines? The peaches cost seven coins, the fuzzy peaches three coins, and the nectarines cost one coin for three. Is it really that hard?"

One hundred coins for one hundred peaches?

The question looked very familiar, but she couldn't remember how to solve it.

Zhou Wei looked down and saw that Jiang Yueli, Tan Lin, and the little monk all had their heads down and were not making eye contact with her.

The Master continued, “I will give you one day. If you cannot solve it, then you should not remain here.”
