In the afternoon, as rumored online last night, the Seronda Empire did not arrive at the Lingliu Empire as scheduled.

After the news broke, netizens from various interstellar empires discussed it extensively.

"The news is actually true. However, I still believe that the spaceship accident is just an excuse to be used to spread rumors."

"It's definitely an excuse. The fact that the research institutes of various interstellar empires issued two recruitment notices for ancient martial arts practitioners within a few hours shows that Ling Luo's training method is amazing because of ancient martial arts. Now that we've found a direction and can develop it ourselves, there's no need to spend such a large sum of money to buy the Lingliu Empire's training method."

"That's right, that's right. Currently, less than half of the empires in interstellar space have purchased these training methods. I've heard that the other empires had basically already set their purchase dates, and given the current situation, it's very likely that those empires that haven't purchased these training methods will not buy them. And those empires that have already purchased the training methods are probably regretting it to the core, hahaha~"

"Isn't that right? Judging from the current situation, the Lingliu Empire didn't reveal that the training method originated from Ling Luo in the first place because they wanted to make a fortune from it!"

"It seems that the reason they suddenly announced that the training method came from Ling Luo was simply because Ling Luo 'accidentally' appeared on the street the day before yesterday and became the target of attacks across the internet. In order to help her restore her reputation, their empire had no choice but to do this. In this respect, the Lingliu Empire's royal family can be considered humane."

"Tsk tsk, the way you put single quotes around the word 'accident' upstairs is really funny, hahaha~"

"What I mean, you all understand, hahaha~"

This means that Ling Luo's sudden appearance on the street yesterday was not an accident. In fact, it is very likely that Ling Luo is vain and unwilling to remain behind the scenes in the face of such great honor.

The online buzz and its subsequent fall are unknown to them.

She completed the written and practical exams for the semester in the morning, and in the afternoon, she began her make-up exams under Yu Danqing's arrangement.

Around 5 PM, after finishing the makeup exam, Ling Luo said goodbye to Yu Danqing and left the exam room, taking the aircraft back to her residence.

The butler saw her and hurriedly came forward with a smile, saying, "Your Highness, dinner will be ready in ten minutes."

Ling Luo nodded: "Okay."

After dinner, Ling Luo went upstairs to continue refining the mecha array plate and began compiling the Five Elements-related materials that Ren Yongfeng and the others needed.

When Ling Luo gets busy, she doesn't pay attention to the time.

She's also someone who can't sit still; after finishing writing the materials related to the Five Elements, she started reading books again.

Just as she was engrossed in reading, her personal terminal suddenly rang.

She glanced at the virtual screen of her personal terminal and realized it was already 10 a.m. the next day.

Ling Luo paused and glanced out the window.

The sun is shining brightly outside.

She looked away, accepted Ren Yongfeng's call invitation, and took the initiative to say, "The documents are ready, you can send someone over to pick them up."

"Ah, this, I, I didn't mean to urge you for the information, I—" Ren Yongfeng paused here, and could only say, "Thank you for your hard work."

As Ling Luo flipped through the book, she said, "It's not hard work."

The information was written using only a wisp of her consciousness. She could do other things while writing, so it wasn't hard work at all.

Ren Yongfeng thought she was being modest and that she was kind and polite, which made him like her even more.

"I'll send someone over to get it right now." After a pause, Ren Yongfeng said, "Your Highness, the reason I contacted you today is actually to discuss another matter."

Ling Luo sensed the other person's hesitation, turned a page of the book with her mind, and then asked, "You can speak frankly if you have something to say."

Since Ling Luo had already said that, Ren Yongfeng went straight to the point: "I heard that your mother also practiced ancient martial arts. I wonder if your mother left you any ancient martial arts techniques?"

Ling Luo: "Yes."

Ren Yongfeng knew that Ling Luo's ancient martial arts were so powerful that her mother must have left her some ancient martial arts techniques.

He asked that question because he was afraid that Ling Luo wouldn't be willing to sell them the right to use the ancient martial arts techniques her mother left her, so he asked it in a more tactful way.

Hearing Ling Luo say this, he felt hopeful and became excited. He said, "As you know, our research institute is currently studying and learning about ancient martial arts. Although we have already purchased the copyrights to several ancient martial arts manuals, there are many different kinds of ancient martial arts. We want to have a more comprehensive understanding of ancient martial arts, so we also want to purchase the rights to use the ancient martial arts manuals that your mother left you. I wonder if Your Highness would be willing?"

Ling Luo paused.

Besides the Five Elements, their research institute is also learning about and studying ancient martial arts.

She didn't know...

Ling Luo paused, touched the tip of her nose, and skipped over that point.

As for Ren Yongfeng's claim that he wanted to purchase the right to use the ancient martial arts manual left behind by the original owner's mother...

The original owner's mother didn't really value the few martial arts manuals she left behind. The reason the original owner took those manuals to the desolate star was simply because they were one of the few items her mother left her.

The original owner did not value the contents of the manual.

Thinking of this, she said, "Okay."

Ren Yongfeng was overjoyed: "Thank you, Crown Princess!"

"Um."

"Regarding the price, Your Highness—"

"You can decide for yourselves."

Is the Crown Princess telling them to pay according to the current market rate?

Ren Yongfeng was even more excited that she was so agreeable: "I understand, thank you, Your Highness. I will bring the purchase contract with me later."

"Um."

Ren Yongfeng chuckled and said, "Then you go ahead with your work, I won't bother you any longer."

"Um."

After ending the call, Ling Luo went back to reading.

Forty minutes later, she paused in her reading.

Because Ren Yongfeng has arrived.

She had thought he would send someone over, but she didn't expect him to come in person.

She closed the book, took the things Ren Yongfeng wanted, and went downstairs.

Upon seeing her, the butler hurriedly asked, "I'm sorry, Your Highness, I didn't know you had finished eating. Lunch hasn't been prepared yet. I'll go now—"

"No, I won't eat it."

"Then you—"

"We have a guest."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ren Yongfeng's aircraft slowly descended from the sky above the entrance.

After disembarking from the aircraft, Ren Yongfeng hurriedly said, "Your Highness, I apologize for disturbing you."

"It's nothing." Ling Luo handed him a few notebooks: "Everything you wanted is here."

Ren Yongfeng quickly accepted it and said, "Thank you."

Then, he hurriedly handed the contract for the ancient martial arts techniques to Ling Luo: "We only gave the unit price of each book in the contract. As for the quantity of techniques and the total price, you can fill it in now according to the actual situation."

Ling Luo: "Okay."

After signing the contract, Ren Yongfeng left happily.

The housekeeper had no idea that Ren Yongfeng was coming.

If he had known, he would have had lunch prepared for him long ago.

It was almost lunchtime when Ren Yongfeng arrived and left in a hurry. Ling Luo didn't seem to want him to stay for lunch. The butler was a little confused: "Your Highness, why didn't you invite Academician Ren to stay for lunch?"

Ling Luo paused, then said, "I... forgot."

They are cultivators; they can survive without eating.

Therefore, she didn't have the concept of inviting people to stay for a meal...

Ling Luo was unaware of the interstellar empires' frantic scramble for ancient martial arts practitioners, but his butler was.

Ren Yongfeng obtained the ancient martial arts manual from Ling Luo and is probably eager to go back and study it. He has no interest in staying for a meal, and he probably doesn't mind Ling Luo's neglect.

Thinking of this, the butler quickly said, "If you forget, you forget. It's alright."

Ling Luo paused, realizing he was trying to comfort her.

Upon seeing this, the steward smiled and said, "I believe His Highness the Crown Prince would say the same thing if he were at home. If you don't believe me, you can ask him after his exams."

Ling Luo thought about it and felt that, based on past experience, Ye Xingxue might indeed say that.

With that thought, she felt relieved, nodded, and went upstairs.
