By the time Qian Yu and Juzi arrived at Mingde Hall, the entire Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Device Academy was abuzz with rumors that the two were a couple!
As they entered, they found Xuan Ziwen had already started instructing the other two students...
Upon seeing Qian Yu and Juzi arrive together, a look of confusion crossed Xuan Ziwen's face...
Juzi was quite clear about this; he usually rested inside Mingde Hall to facilitate his research on soul tools at any time...
Whereas Qian Yu would return to the dormitory, the two of them shouldn't have been on the same path...
Suppressing the questions in his heart, Xuan Ziwen calmly said, "Qian Yu, Juzi, this is the first time you two have been late, isn't it?"
Upon hearing this, Qian Yu silently nodded his head...
With a smile, Juzi said, "Teacher, you're not angry, are you?"
Xuan Ziwen shook his head, puzzled, "Angry? No, I just feel there's something different about the two of you today!"
After sitting down lazily, Juzi stretched and said, "Teacher, I'm sure it's just your imagination, please continue with the lesson!"
Qian Yu too slowly took a seat, his expression still void of emotion...
Raising an eyebrow, Xuan Ziwen stated, "Is that so? It might just be my misconception then. Since you have arrived, let's start from what was covered yesterday."
It was only after lecturing for a good many minutes that he noticed Wang Yao hurrying in...
Looking at the entering Wang Yao, Xuan Ziwen frowned slightly and said, "Wang Yao, you're late too. Don't you know that there are classes every day? Or do you think my classes are meaningless, and you no longer wish to attend?"
Wang Yao apologized, "Teacher! I'm sorry! It wasn't intentional."
Xuan Ziwen didn't let it go and asked, "Give me a reasonable explanation!"
With embarrassment creeping onto his face, Wang Yao glanced towards Qian Yu and Juzi and hesitantly said, "Teacher, I heard that the whole academy was talking about Qian Yu and Senior Juzi becoming a couple, and I was curious to see for myself, but I didn't find them..."
Qian Yu's icy gaze flickered over Wang Yao...
Had merely walking over from the dormitory together spread across the whole academy already?
It seems the so-called Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy wasn't much different from Shrek Academy!
Juzi's face still held a smile, with no other expression evident...
Upon hearing this, Xuan Ziwen spoke evenly, "You're late because of such a trivial matter? Wang Yao, you may as well skip today's class!"
Wang Yao, shocked, tried to explain, "Teacher, I..."
Before he could finish, Xuan Ziwen cut in coldly, "If you want to attend my class today, then you needn't come at all in the future."
Wang Yao's pupils shrank, and his face fell as he lowered his head, "Yes, teacher!"
With that, he turned and left Mingde Hall...
Xuan Ziwen was known for his strictness; one could say he was the most exacting teacher in the entire Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Device Academy, and of course, his teaching abilities were top-notch!
Otherwise, he wouldn't have had only five students, including Qian Yu!
...
By the time the lecture was over, dusk was nearly upon them...
After the other two students had left, Qian Yu and Juzi were once again called over by Xuan Ziwen...
Facing Xuan Ziwen's extremely solemn expression, both Qian Yu and Juzi had an idea of what he was about to address...
After a long moment, Xuan Ziwen took a deep breath and asked, "Juzi, Qian Yu, have the two of you truly become a couple?"
Upon hearing Xuan Ziwen's question, Qian Yu chose silence, his face growing colder...
The thought of forcing Juzi to be with him the previous night only made the emotions at the bottom of his heart more turbulent...
Feeling the change in Qian Yu beside her, Juzi gently took his hand and earnestly said to Xuan Ziwen, "Teacher, I have indeed fallen for Qian Yu."
At these words, Xuan Ziwen, despite being prepared, couldn't help but sigh...
"Juzi... You should reconsider this matter. You are the designated Crown Princess Consort. I suspect that the news about you and Qian Yu has already reached the ears of Xu Tianran!"
"This will only bring unnecessary trouble for both of you!"
With Qian Yu's abilities and appearance, he is naturally a match for Juzi, but the latter is the designated Crown Princess Consort of the Sun-Moon Empire...
...
Sun-Moon Empire! Within the palace of the Crown Prince...
Suddenly, a rapid knocking sound came from outside, "Your Highness Crown Prince, your subordinate has urgent news to report!"
A slightly feminine man was seen sitting on a chair with his eyes closed...
Upon hearing the noise outside, his eyes gradually opened, revealing a cold and solitary gleam...
At this moment, his legs slowly moved, and a mechanical sound could faintly be heard...
These artificial limbs were none other than a Ninth-grade Soul Guidance Device specifically made to enable him to move!
This person was none other than the Crown Prince of the Sun-Moon Empire, Xu Tianran, who had once saved Juzi!
As for his legs, they were lost during a covert attack by other princes vying for the position of Crown Prince when he just came of age...
Despite ruthlessly eliminating all his rivals, he also lost his legs as well as his sexual function!
Xu Tianran cast a dark look at the door and said coldly, "Come in!"
"Crack!" The door was slowly pushed open, and an armored soldier bowed and said, "Your Highness Crown Prince, your subordinate has news to report."
Xu Tianran's unfeeling gaze fixed on the soldier as he calmly said, "Speak! What is it?"
The soldier stammered, "According to what your subordinate has learned, the Juzi you sent to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Device Academy has apparently sought out another man at the academy, named Qian Yu, about sixteen or seventeen years old, an exchange student sent by Shrek Academy, and a level 8 soul master."
After hearing this, dark and richly cold light swirled in Xu Tianran's black pupils as he then lowered his gaze to his legs...
He closed his eyes and asked calmly, "Is the news reliable?"
The soldier hastened to say, "Absolutely reliable, the whole Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Device Academy is talking about it..."
"Crack"
Before he could finish, a twisted-expression Xu Tianran twisted the soldier's head off...
The latter's eyes widened in disbelief as he fell to the cold ground, with copious amounts of scarlet blood flowing from his neck, dyeing the entire floor crimson...
He probably died without even knowing what he did wrong!
Xu Tianran's fierce expression gradually returned to normal as he said calmly, "Found a man? How interesting!"
He had reared his white rabbit for many years, and today it had actually been attracted by another's grass...
Qian Yu, and a level 8 soul master at that!
Interesting!
Truly interesting!
Juzi, is this your way of challenging me?
At this thought, Xu Tianran violently lifted his mechanical leg and stomped fiercely on the soldier's head...
With a "crack," a mixture of red and white fluids coated his legs...
He then called out coldly, "Someone, come!"
As his words fell, numerous soldiers hurried in from outside...
The soldiers who entered and saw the gruesome scene on the floor nearly couldn't suppress their vomit, but out of respect for Xu Tianran, they braced themselves and said, "Your Highness Crown Prince! What are your orders?"
Xu Tianran opened his mouth slowly and said, "Bring that Qian Yu back here, I want to see for myself what sort of capability he has!"
The soldiers respectfully said, "Your subordinate obeys!"
