Chapter 1161: Chapter 1155: A Foreboding Premonition

Mu Chen’s mouth twitched.

"Why does the Crown Prince say such a thing? I was merely concerned about affecting the students’ cultivation progress."

"What cultivation progress can there be in your Shaking Light Class."

Governor Huang sneered, his words full of disdain.

"Governor Huang, if I recall correctly, your Martial Arts Academy’s annual performance isn’t as high as our Spirit Institute, and our Shaking Light Class has the highest class performance in the Spirit Institute."

Mu Chen is someone who never loses out; stepping on him doesn’t work, stepping on his students and class is even worse.

Governor Huang was infuriated, but he couldn’t retort.

It’s all because of that Xin Lin!

If it weren’t for her, how could the Spirit Institute have turned the tables?

But it’s okay, there’s still the End of Year Assessment; as long as Martial Arts Academy has an overwhelming victory then, it will be fine.

Governor Huang sneered lightly.

Long Qingxuan, on the other hand, was quite surprised.

If memory serves, Third Brother Long Qingchen is in the Tianshu Class of the Martial Arts Academy, but his class isn’t the highest performing?

"Governor Huang, may I have a word with you?"

Long Qingxuan, having spent many years abroad, was unaware of his brother’s current circumstances.

"Is my Third Imperial Brother in the Academy?"

Long Qingxuan has only this one brother; despite Long Qingchen’s lack of achievement, Long Qingxuan is very fond of him.

"The Third Prince was injured earlier in a practical combat class at Xingluo Academy and went back to the Imperial Palace to heal. It’s not the fault of Xingluo Academy’s people, after all, they are strong and injuries are unavoidable in a clash of masters. But those folks at the Spirit Institute are really getting out of hand. If it weren’t for Xin Lin’s scheming, the Martial Arts Academy wouldn’t have lost."

Governor Huang said indignantly.

"Xin Lin? I haven’t been in Purple Cloud City for a long time, so I don’t know which family has produced such a formidable offspring."

Long Qingxuan said with a smile.

To enter Qingtian Academy, one must be either wealthy or noble, or possess exceptional talent.

Seeing Governor Huang gnash his teeth yet be helpless against the opponent suggests that the opponent must have some background.

"She’s the daughter of Chu Beiqing, a useless nobody whose Five Meridians are all wasted, yet somehow learned all sorts of cunning tricks. Earlier, both I and the Third Prince suffered losses because of her. But the Emperor greatly favors her and even made her a Princess. Because of this, the Third Prince and Empress Feng have been quite upset with the Emperor."

Governor Huang snorted.

"Chu Beiqing’s daughter... this is rare indeed. How could he possibly have a daughter, when he is clearly..."

Long Qingxuan’s face maintained a harmless smile.

"Since Father holds her in high regard, I shall meet her tomorrow."

"Xin Lin is with the Spirit Institute, usually helping out at the School Clinic. If the Crown Prince wishes to see her, it’s best to go to the School Clinic. She has been taking leave recently under the guise of volunteering, and the Spirit Institute Director, currying favor with her, has allowed her not to attend classes."

Whenever Governor Huang mentioned Xin Lin, he was full of complaints.

A student not attending classes, only volunteering, what kind of student is this?

Yet many students from the Martial Arts Academy love to visit her, making Governor Huang, as the director, quite embarrassed.

"That’s perfect, I’ll go to the School Clinic to meet her."

Long Qingxuan simply smiled without speaking.

Achoo—

Xin Lin sneezed loudly.

She rubbed her temples, feeling a faint headache.

Last night, after dealing with a few students from Gu Feng Academy, she felt something was not right.

After discharging the last patient of her voluntary service, Xin Lin was about to close the door when she saw Mu Chen rushing in.

Mu Chen’s face was unpleasant as he grabbed Xin Lin.

"Where did you go last night?"
