Chapter 14
“All right,” Rong Mo nodded and replied as though Ye Qianli was really his soldier who would strike wherever he pointed.
“Don’t stop him from going to school.” Feng Li Huan was still a bit worried. Even though he was the head teacher of Gifted Academy, he was treated very well in the various dynasties. His treatment was such that, even if the Vermilion Bird Dynasty’s emperor saw him, the emperor would still have to stand up and excitedly welcome him. However, this trifling crown prince in front of him actually had the ability to make it hard for him to give rigid instructions.
“Don’t worry, Teacher Feng. She will go.” Rong Mo gave him face.
“Good. That’s good, then. In that case, I’ll wait for him five days later.” Feng Lihuan was a straightforward person. Since Rong Mo had agreed to it, he spread his wings and left without another word.
His speed was extremely swift, and he vanished without a trace in an instant. As for Su Lianhua who’d awakened her Jade Rabbit Talent, she actually didn’t obtain a trace of his favor.
…
After Feng Lihuan left, Rong Mo finally leaped lightly towards Southern Palace.
In just a moment, he had already landed outside a window in Clear Wind Palace. He looked at the window that had been sealed with the word “10” and frowned imperceptibly.
“Who is it?” At the same time, a cold and sharp question came from within the room. A figure also flashed to the window frame at the same time, but didn’t break out from the window sill, seeming to have the intention of controlling his movements with silence.
Rong Mo looked at the shadow beside the bed, and his clear eyes narrowed slightly. He reached out and removed the “10” word seal without making a sound.
His movements were not fast, but it made Ye Qianli—who was in the room—even more vigilant!
Ye Qianli could clearly see that the person outside the window was moving and tearing down her window. However, no matter how hard she tried to listen, she could not hear a single sound! This made her so defensive that her forehead was breaking out in a sweat.
“This person is very strong, at least for the current you.”
The magic box even flashed its words like a caption, making Ye Qianli feel like she was being hit when she was down.
Wasn’t this *sshole talking nonsense?! Of course, she knew that the other party was strong.
“Can you help me deal with him? After all, you supposedly fulfill any request.”
Ye Qianli could not help but retort in her mind.
“Of course…
“Not,”
the magic box shamelessly replied with captions.
“…” Ye Qianli was speechless.
“…” The window was being opened silently at this moment. That peerless handsome man’s figure was like a person in a painting! He appeared in front of Ye Qianli like a spirit of the night. She was stunned when she saw him.
Even though it was late at night, in the darkness, the magnificence of the person in front of her was actually brighter than the moon and stars in the sky. With just one look, it was deeply imprinted in her heart.
From then on, every time she thought about it, it was as if she was holding the moon in her arms and had the stars in front of her…
“Do I look good?” Rong Mo looked at the dazed and lecherous person in front of him. A dark glint flashed across the bottom of his eyes. Every time he looked at her, he felt that she was that person.
Unfortunately, he was at his weakest at that time. His five senses had short-circuited—basically, he was unable to see, hear, taste, smell, or feel anything. That b*stard even ran off quickly!
As a result, he could only vaguely conclude that that person had run towards the Southern Palace! And the most suspicious person that day was her—Ye Qianli!
However, all the evidence he found proved that she wasn’t. She didn’t have any records of going to the Western Palace; neither did she have that ability. After all, according to what he found, that swine—who attempted to molest her—said that she really did jump off the cliff.
According to the analysis of that time, she had been poisoned by the Tian Yu Night Queen Flower, an aphrodisiac, and had fallen 5000 feet off the cliff. With her serious injuries, it was impossible for her to go to his Western Palace in such a short period of time and treat him…
Doctor Jiang also said that she had a very severe new injury on her body. She was lucky to be alive because of her extraordinary physique. However, the damage caused by the two deadly poisons had already messed up her meridians and caused her cultivation to disperse. She was probably crippled.
“Yes,” Ye Qianli, who did not know that Rong Mo was ‘judging’ her in his heart once more, still nodded her head and replied frankly. Her initially dazed expression had somehow regained its clarity by then.
“Did Your Highness, the Crown Prince, come down to this commoner’s place to let this commoner admire your peerless beauty?” Ye Qianli asked, but in her heart, she had already deduced the visitor’s intentions.
He wasn’t being aggressive; neither was he criticizing her. He was probably here for her talent. However, he probably didn’t realize that she had awakened the Nine Heavens Mystical Fire, right?
Magic box, you’re reliable, right?
When Rong Mo heard this, he raised his black brows and asked, “You’re not inviting me in?”
“I’m afraid it’s not good for a man and a woman to be alone,” Ye Qianli rejected.
“Have you heard of the Gifted Academy?”
“The top academy in the Four Divisions Continent?”
“Yes.”
“Your Highness, what do you mean?”
“I have an enrollment token.”
Ye Qianli was slightly stunned. She could not help but look up and meet the eyes of the person in front of her. She tried to make out a little of his intentions from his eyes, but unfortunately, she could not see anything.
This was really a pair of unpredictable and magnetic eyes. No one could see anything from them. It was already a trying matter to not be seen through by him.
Ye Qianli frowned slightly. Just as she was about to ask, she saw Rong Mo raise his hand and under the wide sleeve of that embroidered robe, it revealed a simple badge that flowed with starlight in his fair hand.
“Yours,” Rong Mo said.
“You’re giving it to me just like that?” Ye Qianli felt that it was a bit inconceivable. She knew about the Gifted Academy so she knew that the top-notch educational establishment wasn’t an easy place to enter in the continent.
This was especially true for such an enrollment token. It was said that only the most highly-regarded geniuses could be lucky enough to obtain it. Moreover, it was said that those who relied on this token could enter the school even if they failed or did not participate in the entrance examination.
“A betrothal gift.”
“Huh?” Ye Qianli only felt like there were crows flying past her entire head, a row of vertical lines flashing, and a row of withered leaves floating down. Everything within her felt that something was wrong.
By the time she regained her composure from the ‘betrothal gift’, there was already no one in front of her eyes. That stunning crown prince beside the window just now had vanished into thin air!
She didn’t even see how he left before he disappeared…
“Magic box, did you see it clearly?”
“Nonsense, he turned into a bird and flew away.”
Ye Qianli: “…”
“The first talent he awakened should be the mythological beast—Vermilion Bird. It is very powerful and very abnormal! F*ck, if I had known, I would have contracted him instead. This is the master that I, the magic box, should have.
“That’s what is worthy of me!”
The magic box typed out regretfully. Its consciousness was still lingering in the direction where Rong Mo had left. The behavior of such blatant ‘betrayal’ made Ye Qianli choke.
“Ah, whatever, whatever. It’s all fate. Time doesn’t belong to me, and I also can’t go towards it. Sigh…”
Smack! Ye Qianli threw the magic box from her pocket onto the ground. “Are you done yet? Follow him if you dare.”
“Ouch! You abused me! You’re going to be punished by the heavens!”
The magic box flashed words onto the screen and complained.
Ye Qianli did not care about it. She looked down at the enrollment token in her hand. When she thought about the word ‘betrothal gift’ again, she felt her scalp and the roots of her hair hurt as well.
Wasn’t this engagement supposed to never be mentioned again?
Could it be that he found out that she was talented so he quickly came to send a betrothal gift? F*ck.
For what reason?!
Previously, he had abandoned her like a pair of shoes. Now, he was here to cement their betrothal? And he was even here personally? Did he have to be so pragmatic? Wasn’t he supposed to be as impressive and beautiful as the moon?
Also, she hadn’t even said that she wouldn’t agree, and yet this person had already left. What was the meaning of this? Did he think that she would definitely accept it? Did he think that, with his beauty, there was nothing he couldn’t do?
“No!”
