Dragon Capital, Divine Revelation Canon Law School. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

The monthly exam hosted by the Royal City Knight Order is usually held at the Divine Revelation Canon Law School, the predecessor of which was the Knight Academy that directly promoted to the Royal City Knight Order, thus establishing its lineage.

The monthly exam was originally meant to assess the top knights of each of the Canon Law Schools, but it gradually evolved into a challenge for Divine Revelation by Fengming, Yueyin, Tianlu, Jingrong, and Jingmi Canon Law Schools, as a collective resentment grew from frequent insults.

When the Divine Revelation Canon Law School competes on its home turf, the Black Rose Base opens its doors, and naturally, only the elite representatives of each major Canon Law School are qualified to attend, making it a significant event for the students of the Divine Revelation Canon Law School.

Today’s monthly exam is somewhat different, with the Black Rose Base being decorated more lavishly.

President Ji Mingyue leads the prominent figures of the Divine Revelation, including Nalan Potter, Yan Tianguang, Hong Ban, Isaiah, Freeman, Sima Mu, Patir, Feili, and the elites of the Divine Revelation Black Rose, who have already arrived.

Lei Jiu with his Fengming Canon Law School, Ao Luofeng with his Yueyin Canon Law School, Chi Hu with his Tianlu Canon Law School, Bu Huangming with his Jingrong Canon Law School have all arrived. Though the five are against the Divine Revelation, they still acknowledge its strengths.

Only Bai Peng leading the Jingmi Canon Law School has not yet arrived, but there’s still time. Lei Jiu and the others are old acquaintances; competition is competition, but the relationships are mostly amicable, especially with Ji Mingyue around, as the Princess’s influence is undeniable.

In the Li Long United Kingdom, although the system hasn’t changed since Luthor’s passing, the influence of the Royal Family is growing, and for the nobility, recognizing the Royal Family is equivalent to recognizing themselves.

Ji Mingyue listens calmly to everyone’s performance, with a subtle hint of expectation in her eyes. She wants to see how Li Xin will react upon seeing her again, whether he will regret or lament.

Nalan has always been by Ji Mingyue’s side and can sense her excitement today. Is it because that person is coming?

Sure enough, after so many years, she hasn’t forgotten.

Besides Ji Mingyue, another popular figure is Patir. Patir has finally suppressed Feili, and the two have been competitors since childhood. Their families are similar, their appearances are each outstanding in their way, and their abilities are evenly matched. Such competition has become habitual from a young age.

Upon entering the Divine Revelation Canon Law School, the rivalry became even more intense. This is the most spirited period, but the two have always alternated in the lead. Recently, an incident in the Tianli lecture was like a slap in the face for Patir, who has fallen significantly behind in the vice president race.

However, the world is ever-changing. Patir participated in a beauty contest, which she had mixed feelings about given her status. The noble ladies speculated whether Patir had lost her mind, but as the contest’s influence grew and with the high status and influence of the judges, Patir led by a wide margin and was on the verge of being crowned the champion of the first beauty contest. With the exposure, Patir gained many followers, allowing more people to appreciate her cheerful personality and inner beauty.

Whether it was manufactured or not, in this era, it was a game changer, and Patir’s popularity soared, overwhelming Feili without exaggeration.

Feili watched the proceedings with composure, pretending not to care, but inwardly seething. She had assumed that at least half of the attention would be on her, and believed that Patir’s participation in a beauty contest would only lower her class. Who would have thought it would turn out this way, with Patir being hyped as a representative of new-age women?

A representative of women?

This slut?

She was already furious, and now her cheap cousin even wanted to ask her out, fool!

Patir occasionally glanced at Feili, taking joy in her apparent annoyance despite pretending to be calm, a satisfaction that made her feel comfortable to her every pore.

Undoubtedly, happiness can enhance one’s appearance, making Patir even more stunningly beautiful, surprising even those familiar with her. This vexed Hong Ban—where did all these nuisances come from?

But Patir had previously instructed him that if he dared to act rudely, she would ignore him forever.

Hong Ban could only clench his fists, holding in his anger, waiting for the tests to vent his frustration by finding someone to give a good beating.

Those familiar with Hong Ban could sense his murderous intent.

"Why hasn’t Bai Peng arrived?" Lei Jiu asked. He had always wanted Bai Peng to ask Li Xin, but it never worked; even when he visited the Jingmi twice, it was in vain. He heard from Bai Peng that Li Xin was going to attend today’s tests, so he came early.

"Strange, this guy is usually very proactive and always arrives early. Why is he so late this time?" Ao Luofeng laughed, "Look at the expressions on Chi Hu and Bu Huangming’s faces."

"What’s up, what are they planning?" Lei Jiu asked at the entrance.

"Among the nine dragons of Dragon Capital, Divine Revelation has six, and the three of us have one each. They’re not happy with that. Jingmi’s performance has declined in recent years, and I heard they almost received a bad review last time. Those two want to replace Bai Peng as one of the nine dragons," Ao Luofeng laughed.

"Those two fools certainly think a lot!"

"Don’t say that. From the knightly path standards of the Canon Law School, Tianlu and Jingrong are in the lead. Bai Peng was duped by Old Man Chen back then; he shouldn’t have gone to Jingmi."

"If it weren’t for Bai Peng’s resilience, Jingmi might have fallen to second-rate," Lei Jiu frowned. He cared deeply about his brother’s affairs. Apart from the knightly path, Jingmi was excellent in other aspects, but the knightly path holds the greatest weight in the Canon Law School.

"When the time comes, the two of us will lend him a hand. He has to throw us a big banquet then," Ao Luofeng laughed. The three of them have always had a good relationship.

"No need, let’s just enjoy the show today," Lei Jiu shook his head, appearing quite eager, and even a little excited.

Ao Luofeng was a bit puzzled, but Lei Jiu didn’t explain. The Ao Family has its heritage, and its path is different, so there’s no need to go to the Secret Castle.

In this lively scene, everyone is enthusiastically reminiscing, showing off their status and connections. Yan Tianguang sits alone in the corner, as if none of it concerns him.

He is here because someone else is coming.

In previous monthly exams, he never participated and cared little about the opinions of the Knight Order; power is all that matters.

Luo Xue stands beside Ji Mingyue, her silvery hair quite noticeable. Because of the Princess, she receives a fair amount of attention and pursuit, including many prominent figures from Dragon Capital. Luo Xue can discern that their intentions are either lustful or aiming to leverage the Princess’s connections.

She knows the Princess harbors different feelings toward Li Xin, previously pretending to inadvertently inquire about his affairs in Celestial Capital, but in recent days, Luo Xue has sensed the Princess’s unhappiness and has not mentioned Li Xin anymore.

Though her time with Li Xin was brief, Luo Xue doesn’t claim to know him well. However, over the past year, she has experienced a lot, and upon recalling Li Xin’s eyes, she feels there is no reverence for power in them, only a discerning look.

Not arrogance, not condescension, but the stance of an independent observer.
