A fair hand slowly appeared between the parting of the curtains at the entrance of the horse carriage. Then, a young maiden dressed in white with a haughty look erged through the curtains. The young maiden elegantly stepped onto the stool and slowly alighted the carriage. The gazes of many of the people around the area were rested on her. All of the gazes were worshipful, and so were even adoring.
Ling Chuxi had sized up that this was the so-called Deity’s servant. She looked like she was about eighteen or nineteen and had almond-shaped eyes. She indeed looked like a beauty, but it was just that pride seed to be carved between her brows.
aningless... Ling Chuxi very quickly ca to a conclusion, retracted her gaze and entered the academy with Ling Yichen. After taking just a few steps into the academy, an unknown object ca flying over to them with a howl. It was the fifth princess!
“Master! Haha! I finally get to see you again. Imperial Father and Consort Mother did not allow to leave the house. How hateful of them,” blurted the fifth princess happily as she hugged Ling Chuxi’s arm.
“Oh, that’s right. Is your Imperial Father all right?” Ling Chuxi had just recalled that the reason why the fifth princess had left with Wei Dan and Wei Xin was because the emperor had t with an assassination attempt.
“He’s fine. He can eat two bowls of rice at every al now,” chirped the fifth princess happily. “Master Luo entered the palace on a daily basis to treat Imperial Father, so he is fine now.”
Just as they were speaking, the Deity’s servant ca up to them from behind. As she walked past them, she stopped and looked at the fifth princess with a cold smile and greeted her, “Your Highness, Fifth Princess.”
“Oh... Lord Deity’s Servant.” The fifth princess looked at the Deity’s servant and squeezed out a smile.
“There is no need to be so distant, Fifth Princess. It is fine to just call Elder Sister Shu Lan or directly address by my na, E Shulan,” said the Deity’s servant with a smile.
“How could I possibly do that? You are the Lord Deity’s servant,” said the fifth princess with an insincere smile. “My class is about to start. If I don’t go over now, I will be late, so I will make a move first.” Without waiting for E Shulan, the Deity’s servant, to reply, the fifth princess then dragged Ling Chuxi away and walked off with her.
E Shulan’s smile lingered, but her eyes were cold.
Ling Chuxi could tell that the fifth princess seed to be unwilling to et this E Shulan.
“Why? Is there so animosity between you two?” whispered Ling Chuxi to the fifth princess softly.
“Hmph! There isn’t a single good person in the Deity Temple,” retorted the fifth princess with a snort. “My Imperial Father and Mother Consort have both told to ignore the people from Deity Temple. That E Shulan is also a very hateful person. She’s constantly trying to whisper her opinions into my Imperial Father’s ears on which of my imperial brothers is more courageous and whatnot. Trying to interfere in my Imperial Father’s decision as to who the crown prince will be. She has never even taken a look at herself in the mirror. Always having such a long face and acting all high and mighty. The funniest thing is that so many guys are chard by her, falling head over heels for her.” The fifth princess beca angrier and angrier as she spoke. The fifth princess knew E Shulan was trying her best to build a relationship with her only because her Imperial Father cared for her greatly and so E Shulan hoped that the fifth princess could make a show of supporting a specific imperial brother in front of her Imperial Father to sway him towards a certain choice. Dream on!
Deistical authority and imperial authority were powers on opposing ends indeed. This made Ling Chuxi think about Mu Liufeng. Mu Liufeng was soone from the Ancestral Palace, did this an he was soone belonging to the current emperor? He had murdered soone from the Deity Temple so easily. Then, could that an that the matter of the assassination attempt on the emperor was possibly be related to the Deity Temple?
All these questions did not co with answers and moreover, the problem that Ling Chuxi was just about to encounter at the mont was indeed a little tricky and would take her attention away from such ponderings anyway.
That problem would be that there was soone who was addicted to martial arts constantly going around looking for people to challenge. Within three days of school starting, he had already stirred up the whole academy. This was because the first person he challenged was the number one expert in Wind Cloud academy and yet, he won very directly, leaving the crowd tongue-tied. And now, the next opponents he sought to challenge were none other than Ling Chuxi and Ling Yichen! The details of this situation were as such...
