Chapter 1293 - The Princess Fights a Hundred

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After Lin Jing left, Jun Shiling sat at his desk, his deep eyes surging.

There was a reason why he asked Lin Jing to investigate the Feng family and the Chu family.

The Lin family was now the most powerful family in the south. However, a hundred years ago, the Lin family could at most be ranked third in the south.

At that time, the Feng family and the Chu family occupied the top two seats in the south.

Linxi was an ancient city. Back then, the Feng family and the Chu family’s headquarters were in Linxi.

A hundred years ago, the Feng family and the Chu family began to attack each other for some reason.

Both sides were big families and their strength could not be underestimated. After ten years of competition, both sides were severely injured.

Just as everyone thought that their two families were going to quieten down and get along peacefully, the Feng family and the Chu family announced at the same time that they were moving overseas, shocking all the families at that time.

Now that more than a hundred years had passed, what had happened back then was gradually forgotten, as if those past events no longer existed.

However, now, the strange cultural relics that had appeared in Linxi City and the dynasty in Xia Wanyuan’s previous life seemed to be related to Longqi Mountain beside Linxi City. This made Jun Shiling wonder if there were any other buried secrets in Linxi.

Just as Jun Shiling was deep in thought, his phone suddenly rang. He picked it up. It was Bo Xiao. “Brother, help me. I really have no choice.”

Xia Yu had not returned yet. During this period of time, Bo Xiao felt that his body had become more and more uncontrollable.

Sometimes, when he washed the bowls in the kitchen, the bowls would involuntarily slip. When he took a shower, he even had to stop for a while before he could continue.

These signs appeared too frequently. Even someone as careless as An Rao realized that something was wrong.

Now that the child was a few months old, it was already hard enough for An Rao to take care of the child. Now, she still had to worry about him from time to time. Bo Xiao had no choice but to look for Jun Shiling.

Jun Shiling quickly got someone to look for one of Bo Xiao’s former leaders. The leader begged Bo Xiao to return to the team and complete a mission that no one else could complete in front of An Rao.

The leader even promised An Rao confidently, “Don’t worry, it’ll definitely be safe. I promise that I’ll return you a healthy Bo Xiao, okay?”

Bo Xiao looked like he wanted to participate in the mission too, so An Rao could not say anything else. After the leader left, An Rao suddenly hugged Bo Xiao’s waist.

“Bo Xiao, will you come back?”

Bo Xiao was stunned for a moment before knocking An Rao’s head. “What nonsense are you talking about? Can you hope that your husband will be better?? I’m just on a mission in the country and I’m not going abroad. Are you still worried about the safety of our country?”

An Rao buried herself in Bo Xiao’s arms and did not speak. She just hugged him tightly.

Bo Xiao gritted his teeth and sighed in his heart. “Wait for me to come back and bring you something delicious, okay?”

“I don’t want anything delicious.” An Rao’s voice was muffled. “I just want you to come back safely.”

“Okay, I promise you. I’ll definitely come back safely.” Bo Xiao stroked An Rao’s hair. “Alright, our son is about to wake up. Go and take care of him. I’ll pack my things.”

An Rao nodded. “Mm.”

Bo Xiao moved quickly. An hour later, he was already standing at the door with his luggage.

Bo Xiao looked at An Rao deeply before turning around resolutely and walking out.

Watching Bo Xiao leave, An Rao’s eyes turned red.

She stood at the door for a while, then ran to the balcony. Bo Xiao had already walked downstairs and was looking upstairs.

Tears fell one after another. Seeing Bo Xiao wave at her downstairs, An Rao waved at Bo Xiao. “Stinky Bo Xiao, do you really think I’m stupid?”

An Rao looked magnanimous, but she was extremely concerned about Bo Xiao.

An Rao had noticed Bo Xiao’s abnormality since a long time ago, but she did not say it and pretended not to know.

She knew very well that everything that had happened just now was Bo Xiao and that old leader acting together.

However, An Rao did not expose Bo Xiao. She also acted with him.

Bo Xiao was a man with pride. An Rao knew that he did not want her to see his embarrassing side, so she cooperated with him.

However, no matter how she acted, An Rao only had one hope, and that was that Bo Xiao could keep his word and really return safely.

Bo Xiao had just walked to the entrance of the district when An Rao called.

“Hey, why do you miss me so quickly??” Bo Xiao’s tone was very relaxed and he even joked with An Rao.

An Rao’s voice was very low. “Let me ask you something. You promised me that you would come back safe and healthy. Can you do it?”

Bo Xiao was silent for a moment before replying, “Yes, I promise.”

“Okay.” An Rao did not say anything else and hung up.

Looking at An Rao’s wallpaper on the phone, Bo Xiao gripped his phone tightly.

Not far away, there was already a specialized car waiting for Bo Xiao. Bo Xiao got into the car and the doctor connected him to all sorts of equipment and did a full-body examination.

“Doctor,” Bo Xiao suddenly said.

“Go ahead.”

“No matter what method you use, you can try it on me as long as I can survive.” Bo Xiao looked at the doctor seriously. “Please.”

The doctor nodded. “Don’t worry. CEO Jun has instructed us to do our best to study the solution.”

The car quickly left the entrance of the neighborhood. Bo Xiao looked back with endless longing.

Linxi City.

Ever since the news of Xia Wanyuan’s arrival spread, a large number of people began to hang around the hotel where Xia Wanyuan stayed.

After all, it was not an exaggeration to call the current Xia Wanyuan a national idol. She had fans in all ages and industries.

Even a large portion of the students of Nancheng University liked Xia Wanyuan.

There was no fan who did not want to see Xia Wanyuan.

Hence, on the road where Nancheng University and Moon Bay Hotel met, a vast group had appeared in the past few days.

As there were too many people running from the school to see Xia Wanyuan, in the end, the school was angry and even got someone to seal the road. For this, the students even erupted in protest.

“Look!! Vice-principal, look, I’m right, right?!” Wang Hui’s face was filled with anger as he placed the folder in front of the leaders. “Look at whether this Xia Wanyuan is a demoness. Just because of her arrival, the students don’t even want to attend class!!”

The vice-principal looked at the document in front of him. “What can we do? We can’t chase her away, right?”

Wang Hui leaned towards the vice-principal and secretly whispered a few words in his ear. “Is this okay? Is it an insult to the refined??”

Wang Hui clicked his tongue. “Principal, it’s not that I want to say this, but look at Xia Wanyuan. She’s already here to steal the limelight. At this rate, we won’t be able to recruit students next year. Do you believe me?”

The vice-principal deliberated for a moment. “Alright, go and do this.”

Soon, Wang Hui brought the school’s signed documents and gathered the school’s teachers for a meeting.

Now, the teachers in the school felt a headache when they saw Wang Hui.

There were not many drops of ink in this person’s stomach, but because there was someone behind him, he jumped up and down in the school, causing a good school to be in chaos.

“Teachers, you’ve worked hard.” As usual, before Wang Hui’s meeting, he had to give the teachers a sweet date.

Then, he hit them again. “I know everyone has worked hard recently, but as everyone can see, this Xia Wanyuan is too much.”

The teachers were silent. Wang Hui continued, “What can she do in Linxi? Didn’t she specially come to provoke us? Aren’t you angry?? See if any students in your class skipped class to see her?”

Wang Hui gave his trusted aide a look. Soon, a teacher echoed, “Indeed, we should kill Xia Wanyuan’s prestige.”

“Your words hit the nail on the head. Didn’t Xia Wanyuan rely on her literary talent? Let me ask you, among the teachers of our Nancheng University, which one of you is inferior to her??” Wang Hui guided patiently and finally revealed his true motive. “I have an idea. Let’s hold an academic conference in school and invite Xia Wanyuan over.”

“Why would you invite her over??”

“What else do you think we can do?” Wang Hui grinned. “Have a literary meeting. Isn’t this what scholars like to do?”

Wang Hui himself had not studied much. In his opinion, whatever literary talent Xia Wanyuan had was probably obtained by spending money.

At that time, Xia Wanyuan had fought with the scholars at the England Museum and was praised by everyone like a miracle. In Wang Hui’s opinion, Xia Wanyuan was just bullying foreigners who did not know China’s culture.

Their Nancheng University had so many professors, but they might not be inferior to Xia Wanyuan alone. He really did not believe it.

In a tag-team battle, they could directly crush Xia Wanyuan.

Some teachers felt that this matter was too petty. It was too much to bully a woman like Xia Wanyuan like this.

However, before anyone could comment, Wang Hui had already decided on this matter unilaterally.

“Alright, go and send Xia Wanyuan an invitation now. The official website will immediately report this matter.”

While Xia Wanyuan received the invitation, the official website of Nancheng University updated a post.

@ Nancheng University: “I’ve always heard that Professor Xia Wanyuan is talented in literature. It’s our school’s triennial literary event. We specially invited Xia Wanyuan to participate. We’re looking forward to it.”

[ ???? Are they that ruthless?? I feel like this is a trap. Isn’t Nancheng University bullying them? There are so many professors in Nancheng University. Are they bullying Xia Wanyuan together? ]

[ Hey, the person in front, don’t talk nonsense. What do you mean by bullying Xia Wanyuan? Can’t our school’s teachers compare notes with Xia Wanyuan? Haven’t you always said that Xia Wanyuan’s literary talent is outstanding? Now, you don’t dare to compete? ]

[ I’ve always thought that Nancheng University is a famous school. Now, this operation has stunned me. Xia Wanyuan doesn’t seem to have done anything. You’re directly putting the words “I want to bully Xia Wanyuan” on my face. ]

Once Nancheng University’s statement was released, Xia Wanyuan had no chance to reject it.

After all, with the extent of the Chinese media’s rumors,

If she rejected it, the headline the next day would definitely be “Xia Wanyuan is afraid of Nancheng University’s challenge and chooses to reject the invitation.”

Although Xia Wanyuan did not have any requirements for these empty titles, she still had the responsibility of a professor at Qing University.

This retreat would affect the reputation of Qing University.

Hence, Xia Wanyuan fulfilled Nancheng University’s wish and agreed to their invitation.

Seeing Xia Wanyuan’s reply, Wang Hui’s eyes flashed.

This time, he had finally set up a trap for Xia Wanyuan with great difficulty. Naturally, he could not let her escape so easily.

Hence, in the name of Nancheng University, Wang Hui borrowed many famous teachers and professors from various brother schools.

To be safe, Wang Hui even went to Lin Qingyuan. In his name, Lin Qingyuan even invited many world-class professors from England.

Although Wang Hui was doing all of this secretly, so many great teachers in the country and the world were changing at the same time. How could they escape everyone’s eyes?

Soon, someone came out to expose.

“Do you know how shameless Nancheng University is?? They clearly agreed on an internal literature exchange in the school. I’ll show you the invitation my mentor received. By the way, my mentor is a mentor in world literature. I heard that it’s not just my mentor. This time, Nancheng University borrowed quite a number of big shots from all the major universities in the country and the world. It’s said that it’s to embarrass Xia Wanyuan.”

They had always thought that the academic world was very clean and pure. Now that they saw this operation, the netizens were stunned and could not believe it.

It was only when more and more people came out to expose that the professor beside them had also received an invitation that everyone dared to believe that Nancheng University was so crazy.

[ Amazing… Is Nancheng University crazy? Is there a need?? We’re all scholars. Is there a need to make things so ugly? ]

[ The person in front, it’s because they’re scholars that they’re causing such an ugly scene. You don’t know how miserable the enrollment of Nancheng University is this year. The good top scorers are basically all going to Qing University. Isn’t Nancheng University anxious to protect its status as the humanities school? ]

[ I’m starting to worry for Xia Wanyuan. Xia Wanyuan is very amazing, but she can’t face so many big shots and professors alone, right? ]

Not only were the netizens worried, but the people around Xia Wanyuan were also worried for her.

“Wanyuan, why don’t we find a reason to forget it?” Principal Yang felt a little uneasy. He knew Xia Wanyuan’s strength, but with so many people, Xia Wanyuan could not resist.

Before Xia Wanyuan could reply, there was a knock on Principal Yang’s office door.

“Come in,” Principal Yang replied. The director of the literature and art departments walked in.

“Wait a moment. I have something to say to Wanyuan.” The principal gestured for the directors to sit first.

The two directors stood in front of the principal. “No, Principal. What we’re talking about happens to be related to Professor Xia.”
