Chapter 213: Chapter 213: Turmoil of the Study Tour

Ismeria Jennings knew the reason she couldn’t go on the study tour was because of Scarlett Jennings. Her first reaction was that Grandpa was biased.

Odessa was getting a bit of a headache from the commotion and felt somewhat resentful toward Scarlett Jennings. It wasn’t because she said there could be danger during this study tour, but because she thought Scarlett was so capable, surely there were other ways to ward off disaster without making children skip the trip to avoid it. Wouldn’t that lead to regrets for the kids? If nobody went, it would be one thing. But some were still going.

Thinking this way, Odessa couldn’t help but let slip a bit of emotion when she saw Scarlett Jennings coming downstairs. Scarlett, pretending not to notice, simply bypassed the two and headed for the door. However, Ismeria quickly caught sight of her, ran up to her, blocking her path with an angry face.

"It’s you! You’re bullying me on purpose! Who do you think you are to stop me from going on the study tour?! I hate you!"

Though she was shouting, she didn’t dare to tell Scarlett to get out of the house like she had before. Even though she was a child, she knew where the line was and where she could cause a fuss.

Scarlett saw Odessa standing to the side without any intention to stop her, so she calmly looked down at her little cousin.

"If you want to go, then go."

Scarlett’s voice was indifferent, but didn’t seem like she was reluctantly giving in due to Ismeria’s tantrum. Rather, she seemed genuinely looking at the time.

"You still have time," Scarlett said sincerely. "At this moment, your classmates are still gathering and haven’t set off yet. You can still make it if you pack up and leave now."

Surprised by how Scarlett suddenly aligned with her wish, Ismeria momentarily didn’t know how to continue her tantrum. She stopped in confusion, glancing first at Scarlett, then at her own mother.

Odessa, also perplexed, hurriedly walked over and asked Scarlett, "Scarlett, didn’t you say the kids on the study tour could be in danger? You even mentioned seeing bloodshed, so it must be very dangerous. Why are you now saying it’s okay for Ismeria to go?"

"Doesn’t she really want to go?"

Scarlett’s expression remained calm as she glanced at Odessa, still with a slightly amused look, "It seems like Second Aunt also really wants her to go."

Otherwise, why was she just standing there watching the show earlier?

Feeling a bit embarrassed from Scarlett’s gaze, especially thinking of her earlier inner blame, Odessa could only awkwardly chuckle.

"No, um... they say there’s danger, so if you can avoid going, you shouldn’t go..." she said, now trying to persuade her child. "Besides, there will be plenty of study opportunities like this in the future once you’re in school."

Ismeria pouted, wanting to say this was different. But then Scarlett spoke up, "There wouldn’t be any serious issues if she goes."

She continued: "The other kids might face bloodshed, but it wouldn’t be too severe for her. At most, she might just break an arm or a leg, or maybe accidentally lose all her hair and become a little baldie, but she wouldn’t die. If she wants to go, just let her go."

As Scarlett spoke, she even hastened, "You can still make it if you leave now. Wouldn’t it be better for Second Aunt to quickly send her off? I’ll ask Uncle Ming to prepare the car."

Scarlett seemed sincere and went to find the butler.

Seeing this, Odessa hurriedly raised her hand to stop her. By then, Ismeria’s face had turned white as a sheet upon hearing Scarlett mention breaking her arm and leg. She instinctively grabbed onto Odessa’s skirt, shaking her head slightly. She didn’t want to break her arm or leg, nor did she want to be a little baldie! She didn’t want any of that!

With one person tugging on each of the other three, the scene became somewhat bizarre. Scarlett’s gaze swept coldly across them, her eyes seeming to ask, "So, are you still going?"

Ismeria instinctively wanted to say no but felt it was embarrassing to backtrack, as if she had indeed been scared by Scarlett. With a strained little face, she tugged harder on Odessa’s arm while stepping back, weakly mumbling,

"I... I don’t care, I just want to go, Mom, don’t stop me."

Odessa looked at her arm that was firmly gripped: ???

Then she looked at Ismeria, who clearly didn’t want to go anymore but was still trying to put on a brave face in front of Scarlett. She softened a bit. Playing along as the decision-maker, she held onto her daughter and said,

"Alright, let’s not go. Mommy can’t let anything happen to you."

Ismeria twisted away, stubbornly looking at Scarlett to explain.

"I’m not scared—I just don’t want to go. It’s because you won’t let me that I won’t go."

Scarlett: ...

Alright, as long as it’s settled.

As for those who wouldn’t listen and insisted on sending their kids on the study tour, Scarlett remarked, Mystical Technique couldn’t save everyone, nor could good advice dissuade doomed ghosts. Plus, she had already provided the necessary warnings.

Thinking this matter was quietly waiting for a resolution, Scarlett didn’t expect it to blow up online by the afternoon.

[Recently, a mystical female star who got very popular through a variety show gave a reading for a group of kids from a certain elite kindergarten planning a study tour, saying the trip could end in an accident and suggesting they cancel it. Because she recently gained a lot of attention for saving a person using a mystical technique, many online netizens believed she truly had skills. With backing from her powerful family, most parents chose to withdraw their kids from the Europe tour.]

The blogger claimed that this disclosure was not to target anyone personally, but rather out of sheer curiosity whether mystical skills truly exist, given how hotly debated the topic was at the moment. The blogger intended to track the follow-up to confirm whether the star truly possessed mystical abilities.

Once this was posted, a massive number of netizens flocked to check out the news.

Despite a few unrelated diversions, most netizens instinctively wanted to follow the developments. The post rapidly circulated online. Many people were excitedly eager to find out whether mystical techniques truly exist.
