“Oh, I see. But now that she’s a student of the Heavenly Phoenix Academy, it’s even harder for me to intervene in this matter. My beloved minister, in my opinion, you should look for Principal Lin. I believe he will handle this matter impartially,” the emperor suggested earnestly.

“Your Majesty!”

“Ah, my dear minster, I am tired. Alas, I am getting old, and my stamina is not as good as before.” What he implied was that he wanted to rest. Stop bothering him if he knew what was good for him.

“I will take my leave then,” Fu Xiang said unwillingly. But since the emperor didn’t want to meddle in this matter, he couldn’t force the emperor. He didn’t have the guts.

“Your Majesty.”

“Did he leave?”

“Fu Xiang went to Consort Wan’s palace,” Eunuch Liu said.

“Eunuch Liu, have you figured out what happened?” the emperor asked. He had already guessed that Fu Xiang would go to see Consort Wan, so he didn’t find it surprising.

“Your Majesty, this servant has already inquired clearly. It was indeed General Leng’s granddaughter who injured the young lady of the Fu family.

“But…” Eunuch Liu hesitated.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Just say it.”

“In fact, it wasn’t entirely Leng Ruoxue’s fault. Fu Mingzhu insulted Leng Ruohan first. Only then did Leng Ruoxue hit her.”

“Why didn’t Fu Mingzhu retaliate then? She couldn’t have just allowed Leng Ruoxue to hit her, could she? With her temperament, she isn’t someone who can be bullied,” the emperor said. Fu Mingzhu was known for being unruly and bossy.

“This young lady of the Fu family has been pampered since she was a child. It is likely that no one has beaten her in her life, so she was stunned and didn’t retaliate. After that, she was scratched in the face by Leng Ruoxue’s pet and even attacked. This servant heard it was quite tragic,” Eunuch Liu said.

“Scratched her face? Is she disfigured?” The emperor was curious.

“They say she has claw marks all over her face, so she should be disfigured!” Eunuch Liu guessed.

“Fu Xiang will not let this daughter be disfigured. He will get crystal honey for her,” the emperor said. Fu Xiang was counting on selling this daughter for a good price!

“Crystal honey is priceless and has no market,” Eunuch Liu said. Crystal honey was indeed a good thing. Not only could it increase spiritual power, but it could also beautify skin and heal damaged skin. But even if you had money, there was nowhere to buy it now.

“The Leng family has some!” the emperor reminded. Leng Qingtian had robbed the Xu family of five kilograms of crystal honey.

“Will the Leng family give any to them?” Eunuch Liu couldn’t help asking.

“It will depend on what Leng Qingtian wants. He will give it to them if he wants to let the matter rest and not blow up,” the emperor analyzed.

“Your Majesty, Consort Wan requests an audience,” a young eunuch reported.

“Tell Consort Wan that I won’t see anyone now,” the emperor said impatiently.

“Yes.”

“Your Majesty, Consort Wan…” Eunuch Liu hesitated. Consort Wan would definitely pester His Majesty to uphold justice for the Fu family since she was a member of the Fu family!

“Eunuch Liu, pass on my decree that Consort Wan is not allowed to see anyone in the palace without my permission,” the emperor said unhappily.

“Yes.” Eunuch Liu went to issue the edict after receiving it.

…

“Xue’er.”

“Big Brother, what’s wrong? Is there something on your mind?” Leng Ruoxue asked.

“Xue’er, Fu Mingyuan came just now,” Leng Ruohan said after some hesitation.

“What was he doing here?” Leng Ruoxue hated any mention of the Fu family.

“He came to me for crystal honey.”

“Did you give any to him?”

“No. How could I give something that Xue’er gave me to someone else? I told him that I didn’t have any,” Leng Ruohan quickly said. He didn’t want Xue’er to misunderstand.?But Xue’er and that fox are really cruel. Mingyuan said that sister would be disfigured if there was no crystal honey.

“Big Brother, I won’t allow you to be an overly good Samaritan. Otherwise, Xue’er will ignore you,” Leng Ruoxue warned.

“I won’t,” Leng Ruohan said. He wasn’t as good as Xue’er thought. Moreover, Xue’er did it for him.

“That’s more like it.”

“Xue’er, did anyone in the academy bully you?” Leng Ruohan asked worriedly. If those people knew her identity, they would probably look down on her. It didn’t matter if he suffered a little, but he didn’t want to see Xue’er wronged.

“Big Brother, am I someone easy to bully?” Leng Ruoxue asked mischievously. She had been staying in the library for the past few days and hadn’t seen many people.

“It’s okay if Big Brother suffers a little, but I won’t allow anyone to bully my baby sister.” Leng Ruohan caressed Xue’er’s head lovingly.

“Yes, yes.” Leng Ruoxue nodded vigorously.

…

“Leng Ruoxue and Ye Chen?”

As soon as Leng Ruoxue and Ye Chen entered the academy, a short and chubby old man stopped them.

“Yes.” Leng Ruoxue and Ye Chen looked at each other doubtfully.

“I am Elder Qiu, the person in charge of the academy’s Sacred Hall. The principal asked me to bring you two to the Sacred Hall to study,” Elder Qiu said very cordially with a beaming smile. The principal said that these two people were not to be trifled with. Moreover, they were the main force in the Academy Competition, so they had to be treated seriously. Thus, after asking around about the time they would arrive at the academy, he came to the entrance to wait for them.

“Thank you, Elder Qiu.” Leng Ruoxue had a good impression of this chubby Elder Qiu.?Since Grandpa Lin sent him, he should be Grandpa Lin’s trusted aide.

The Heavenly Phoenix Academy’s Sacred Hall was the dream of every student of the academy. However, the minimum threshold for entering the Sacred Hall was Spiritual Monarch, and only students who had advanced to Spiritual Monarch before the age of 25 were qualified to enter. So even if the students in the Sacred Hall were not all geniuses, they were at least elites specially nurtured by prominent families, and they would absolutely have boundless prospects in the future.

Leng Ruoxue and Ye Chen followed Elder Qiu to the famous Sacred Hall. The Sacred Hall was a small two-story standalone building with a dazzling and luxurious exterior. Inside, the entire ground was paved with spirit jade. The surrounding stone pillars were inlaid with spirit crystals of various colors, and the decorations on the walls were very exquisite. It was obvious that the Sacred Hall had been constructed with great care and extravagance.

Elder Qiu pushed open the door of a training room and brought Leng Ruoxue and Leng Ruoxue in. The training room was very spacious, and there were about 20 people inside, cultivating or fighting with each other. After seeing the two of them enter, they stopped what they were doing. Some were stunned, some were surprised, and all sorts of gaze were on them.
