It swayed and floated in mid-air, and then when the clock struck twelve, it leaped down as lightly as a swallow.

He was humming a song, then looked in the direction Cage had left and smiled.

I think I've heard something incredible. No wonder that person seems to be getting very close to Cage lately.

Thinking of this, he shrugged again. What did it have to do with him? He already knew the other person's character; he couldn't possibly offer him anything.

He chuckled awkwardly and strolled towards his dormitory, still pondering what to eat today. Speaking of which, the aroma that had just wafted by was truly enticing. He decided to find a chance to mooch a meal from his goddess another day; her tea eggs from last time were absolutely amazing. He was, after all, an upper-class person who could afford tea eggs—not many people in the empire had that privilege.

...

Because of her match against Cage, Lu Yulan became incredibly popular on the academy's internal forum. She was beautiful, talented, and had a great personality, but she wasn't particularly admired by the upper class of the capital city.

At this time, the upper class in the capital was adoring the Bai family's daughter, the Bai family's darling, their only daughter, and the empire's eldest princess in another form.

At the banquet, Gu Luobing looked around listlessly. Although she was dressed in a bright and elegant style, exuding a mature and charming aura, her own special perfume was also very alluring.

However, she has a strong aura and is well-known, so people keep their distance from her, especially after she got married in recent years. She spends most of her time inside the military academy and rarely comes out.

It was quite unexpected that they would attend the charity banquet prepared by Madam Bai. Perhaps something unusual had happened in the Empire that they were unaware of.

After dismissing the group of people who had come forward to chat, Madam Bai brought a glass of the latest trendy fruit wine to Gu Luobing.

"Would you do me the honor of having a drink?"

"kindness."

Although she didn't want to pay attention to Madam Bai, it seemed that she was the only one paying attention to her at this banquet, even though they were mortal enemies when they were young.

Madam Bai's eyes sparkled, and a smile played on her lips as she looked at her. "What brings you here today? I've always begged you to come, but you never grace me with your presence. Could it be that you've finally come to your senses and aren't going to stay with that blockhead of yours, but have come to experience the life we ​​should have?"

As they were talking, a fawning man dressed in a seductive manner approached and kissed Madam Bai's hand.

Gu Luobing frowned immediately upon seeing this. "No, I just came to pick out a gift."

Although she disapproved of Madam Bai's behavior, which had become increasingly absurd since their marriage, she found that the items auctioned at Madam Bai's charity banquets were consistently good. She was going to be very busy, so she decided to give her Professor He a thoughtful gift.

Seeing the happy smile on Gu Luobing's lips, Madam Bai subconsciously tightened her grip on her wine glass, frowned slightly, and then smiled again as usual.

"I always thought you were just playing around, but I never expected you actually fell for that blockhead. Tsk tsk!"

Gu Luobing rolled her eyes at her, annoyed. "He's not a blockhead. He's always been excellent, no less than Lu... On the contrary, even with the Bai family as your backing, you should still restrain yourself. Even if I stay in the academy, I can still hear about your romantic affairs."

Although they both pursued Lu Yuanhong's father when they were young, who wouldn't admire a young general in their youthful arrogance?

Little did he know, she was more deeply involved than he was.
