Listening to her schoolmates who were making fun of Ning Que, Situ Yilan sullenly stood up and then pulled Jin Wucai outside the study room. At first, she carefully looked at her female panion and wanted to warn her something, but then she quitted the idea when she thought that her gentle and taciturn panion actually had nothing to do with it. Thus, she just asked another question with a sigh, "Will you go there this afternoon?"

Jin Wucai smilingly replied, "You mean Prince Long Qing's reaching Chang'an?"

"Yeah, though I have no interest in such kind of handsome man, I still want to have a look out of curiosity," Situ Yilan smilingly said.

"I can acpany you. How about booking a room at the Building of Pines and Cranes where we can view the long street?"

Situ Yilan looked at her and banteringly said, "No need to acpany that big talent today? If you really want to see Prince Long Qing and wouldn't like to leave Xie Chengyun alone at the same time, you could go together with him."

"He naturally won't be there due to Prince Long Qing's arrival," Jin Wucai laughingly said, "Young men have their own pride, especially for him."

Thinking of what Ning Que was treated these days, Situ Yilan said with a little disdain, "He what? He should be prouder by nature?"

The associate professor Cao Zhifeng skipped his class to wele his own country's renaissance hope outside the city. Many students in the Academy were also having a discussion on whether they should join the fun in Chang'an City. In parison, Ning Que, who was walking below the sheltered corridor, was just deeply thinking of the cultivation. Even the discussion about classmates' handwriting works failed to catch his attention, let alone such kind of boring thing.

However, he still couldn't help envying and admiring for a while, considering that the Prince Long Qing had already caused such sensation in Chang'an even before arriving. Though, there wasn't too much shock element in this kind of envy and admiration.

A great figure of the Judicial Department in West-Hill Divine Palace? A talent being about to enter Knowing Destiny State? Such kind of glory might shock other people. However, for Ning Que, even though he got along with Chen Pipi every day, who had entered Knowing Destiny State at the age of 16, he still couldn't find out why Chen Pipi was called a unique cultivation genius by others. He thought Chen Pipi had two eyes, a nose and a mouth, just like a mon person, except that Chen Pipi would produce more waves due to his obesity when jumping into water...

Ning Que arrived in Chang'an for the first time in early 13th year of Tianqi era, and then he got acquainted with such great figures as Chao Xiaoshu and Chen Pipi. Such experience naturally made him more eye-opening and informed, so the name of Prince Long Qing could hardly arouse Ning Que's much attention, though the fame of this well-known prince had successfully shocked other students in the Academy.

After entering the old library and politely greeting to the female professor, Ning Que was quietly reading that book about Haoran Sword. Outside the west window, the spring sunshine gradually became slant and faint. Later at night, the female professor left the old library and then the bookshelf was gently slided again.

"Prince Long Qing reaches Chang'an today," Ning Que said, looking at Chen Pipi.

Chen Pipi, scratching his head with full confusion, asked, "Who is ... Prince Long Qing?"

Ning Que felt a little surprised and asked, "You don't know Prince Long Qing?"

"Why should I know of the what prince?" Chen Pipi sat down with difficulty. He took a sip from a small wine pot Ning Que passed to him, and then said, "Is this guy famous?"

"Quite famous," Ning Que answered, staring at his eyes, "He is not only a prince of Yan Kingdom, but also the second figure of the Judicial Department in West-Hill Divine Palace. What's more, he is regarded as a cultivation talent like you, so I can't believe you don't know him."

"The Judicial Department?" Chen Pipi shrugged his shoulders, causing a tremble of his cheek fat. Then he indifferently said, "So what? There are too many idiots who call themselves talents in West-Hill. I should know of every mon guy from that place?"

Ning Que confusedly and surprisedly looked at him and asked, "You once said you are the heir of West-Hill Divine Palace, didn't you? Even if you have left West-Hill for four years, how could you forget such a figure?"

"That's just your blind guess. When do I admit I am the successor of West-Hill Divine Palace?" Chen Pipi put down the wine pot and then sulkily said, "If you insist your opinion, I have to doubt your intelligence."

"You aren't the heir of West-Hill Divine Palace?" Ning Que quickly suppressed his astonishment and then smilingly looked at Chen Pipi and said, "What a pity! I have had got ready to depend on you."

Chen Pipi surprisingly asked, "When do you show great respect to me, a great talent, in order to let me infer that you want to rely on me?"

Naturally, both of them wouldn't take it serious because these were just some jokes between friends. Ning Que suddenly thought of one thing and asked, feeling puzzled, "To be honest, the relationship between my Tang and your West-Hill was really bad. In this world, only the two places had the capability and qualification to pete with each other. In other words, they could be called their respective latent enemy. In this case, why would Academy accept a guy from West-Hill Divine Palace? Ain't they worried that some secrets might be stolen by West-Hill Divine Palace?"

"The recruitment of Academy just focuses on one's ability and temperament, but not the origin and background. It provides an education opportunity for all people without discrimination. Headmaster of Academy dares to accept such a talent like me as an ordinary student, let alone just a tiny second figure of the Judicial Department in West-Hill Divine Palace."

Chen Pipi contemptuously satirized. Then he suddenly changed the topic and said with worrying expression, "The Judicial Department of Divine Hall is mainly engaged in suppressing foreign and heretical sects. They usually rank in a very high position and carry out the killing in a cruel way. The people there are all crazy and mad-brained. In Chang'an, they certainly dare not do something outrageous, but outside Tang, you'd better not provoke their people either, though you don't have to fear them and these guys outside Tang may be not so strong."

Noticing Chen Pipi's prudence, Ning Que carefully nodded and then emotionally sighed with his head shaking, "I heard that the first figure of the Judicial Department in Divine Hall is a female who is called Tao Addict by the world. Considering that Prince Long Qing had already been a troublesome barrier, I really can't imagine the toughness of this female."

"She is much more than toughness!" Chen Pipi, after hearing the two words "Tao Addict
