Zuo Qingluan took another step forward and bead at the old man. “I’m Zuo Qingluan…”
However, Elder i cut her off impatiently and scolded her. “What’s your problem, young lady? Can’t you see how busy I am? I don’t have ti to exchange pleasantries! Out of my way!”
No one had ever spoken to Zuo Qingluan like that before. The old man made her sound like an unruly child when she was, in fact, the sacred lady of Firmant Palace.
Even my master, the head of Firmant Palace, has never talked to like that, you old fool!?thought Zuo Qingluan, her face twisted with rage.
Ahem…?
The others looked away in embarrassnt.
Mr. Wang of Class D had openly opposed Feng Wu, so Zuo Qingluan had contacted him beforehand and paid him to keep slandering Feng Wu.
Seeing what was going on, Mr. Wang stepped out and smiled obsequiously. “Elder i, Miss Qingluan is our new vice chief…”
He tried to remind the old man to show the girl so respect.
However, it only made Elder i dislike Zuo Qingluan even more.
He didn’t pay much attention to her at first, but Mr. Wang ntioned “vice chief.”
“What vice chief?” Elder i frowned.
Mr. Wang smiled. “Chief Zixuan went to Peace Grassland, so she made Miss Qingluan the acting vice chief. Miss Qingluan is very capable…”
“Nonsense!” Elder i cut him off. “If Zixuan is absent, it’s the school who decides who will replace her. She’s just a vice chief! She has no right to hand out job offers!”
Everyone fell silent, and Zuo Qingluan felt mortified.
Elder i turned to Gongsun Mu. “Is this how you’ve been running the War Academy? Do you think the elders are dead?!”
Gongsun Mu smiled bitterly.
“Miss Zuo is the sacred lady of Firmant Palace. The master of the palace wrote a letter herself…”
Elder i’s face darkened.
“Is this place Imperial College or Firmant Palace? Since when can her letter guarantee a position in our school?! Are they handing out random job offers now? This is preposterous!” Elder i bellowed. “You people are making a ss while the elders are focused on Peace Grassland! Are you trying to give us a heart attack?!”
“No, it’s not like that…” Gongsun Mu tried to explain himself…
However, Elder i wouldn’t let him.
“The chief is cultivating in seclusion, and the 36 elders are either in seclusion or watching Peace Grassland. I thought you could run the school properly, but you’ve disappointed !”
Seeing Zuo Qingluan’s pale face, Mr. Wang said awkwardly, “It was His Royal Highness, Elder i. His Royal Highness gave the order to make Miss Qingluan vice chief.”
“What?” Elder i frowned.
Jun Linyuan?
Elder i might not trust Gongsun Mu, but he had faith in the crown prince.
“Did he say so in person?” Elder i wasn’t convinced.
The crown prince had so questionable taste in won…
However, Mr. Wang sounded very convinced when he said, “Yes, Miss Qingluan is His Royal Highness’s fiancee, and they’re going to get married soon.”
Zuo Qingluan’s stomach lurched.
