Quan Ji didn't really participate much in the banquet. Rather than joining in with everyone, she preferred to stand on a high platform where she could protect them, gazing at their happiness and the prosperity of the Holy Glory Empire, waiting for the crisis to arrive and resist it.

The laughter of the people, the dim lights, the beauty, the liveliness—they were eating barbecue and drinking fine wine; it was a happy life.

Princess Quan is very satisfied with the current Holy Glory Empire and will protect it well.

Suddenly, an unfamiliar face called out from below, "Young lady, what are you doing standing so high up? Come out and have some barbecue with us!"

Quan Ji was taken aback, and Jun Chenlan patted her waist, saying, "Go, stay with your people. I will watch over you here."

Quan Ji chuckled and tiptoed to give Jun Chenlan a light kiss on the cheek: "It's so good to have you."

After saying that, she transformed into a golden ray of light, dazzling like a shooting star, and instantly teleported down below.

The citizens of Shengyao below all gathered around Quan Ji, but they were polite enough not to get too close, which made Quan Ji uncomfortable.

They offered Princess Kwon their prized food and wine.

"Young Miss, this roast meat smells amazing! You must try some. It's from a pig we raised ourselves; it's so plump and delicious!"

"Young Miss, and these drinks too. My drinks are the most amazing in the Holy Glory Empire. No one can refuse them."

Quan Ji accepted the cup of wine without ceremony, raised it high, and poured it down in mid-air. The wine reflected the silvery moonlight, and Quan Ji laughed loudly:

"Come on! Let's drink until we drop to our hearts' content!"

Everyone: "Alright! Let's drink until we drop!"

...

That night, Quan Ji did indeed drink with the citizens of Shengyao until they were completely drunk.

It was a rare moment of pure bliss.

But afterwards, everyone returned to their normal lives.

Quan Ji would visit the Holy Glory Academy from time to time to check on the students' training progress, as the World Academy Competition was drawing ever closer.

The children's training is going very well; they seem to be working even harder than before, perhaps because of Kwon Ji's presence.

Saint Glory Academy plans to send only five student representatives this time: Quan Chengying, Zhang Xuanqi, Han Yin, Li Yuan, and Chi Jun.

These five people are undoubtedly the strongest student group at Saint Glory Academy.

Especially Han Yin, who is the only Saint-Sealer, and whose strength has now reached the half-step human god level, is only one last opportunity away from breaking through.

Quan Ji has been observing him for a long time. If there are strong opponents who are evenly matched with him in this World Academy Competition, she might be able to force him to advance.

However... the chances of encountering such a student are extremely slim.

Princess Quan used her own rules to investigate Han Yin, who also possessed the power to defy the gods of the mortal realm.

But he didn't reveal it—which is perfectly normal, since people need to keep some cards up their sleeves.

The problem now is that Quan Chengying and Han Yin are having a conflict, and Quan Ji is worried that they will affect each other and make the team battle less effective.

Are the students having relationship problems?

At this point, the great Teacher Quan would call them into his office and give them a good talking-to.

...

Quan Chengying and Han Yin stood in front of him.

Both of them were extremely cold-hearted people.

Quan Chengying used to be more lively, but because Han Yin was around, he scoffed and snorted, seemingly harboring a lot of resentment.

Han Yin, on the other hand, maintained a cold expression, seemingly accustomed to Quan Chengying's attitude. He clenched his fists, pursed his lips, and looked at Quan Ji with a serious gaze.

"sister."

"Young Miss."

Quan Ji crossed her legs and casually reclined on the chair, flip-flops held high, and asked, "What's going on between you two? What grudge do you have? Can't you just shake hands and make up?"

She knew perfectly well what the situation was between the two of them, but she wouldn't say; she was going to pretend she didn't know.

After all, the progress this time is quite different from that in the previous life.

In this life, Han Yin may have felt a sense of crisis due to the destruction of Canglan Academy, so he took the initiative to kiss Quan Chengying before Quan Chengying fell in love with him.

Quan Chengying never imagined in his life that a man would like him, nor did he ever imagine that he would develop feelings for a man, especially since this man was the senior he once admired the most.

This left him feeling conflicted and at a loss.

Where does it resemble my past life?

After Quan Chengying fell in love with Han Yin, the two confessed their feelings and fell in love, which led to Quan Zhan sending people to hunt them down.

Han Yin died protecting Quan Chengying.

Quan Chengying disappeared after that. Later, he created a level-five power and directly pursued and killed Quan.

If Quan Zhan hadn't been lucky, he would have died long ago.

Quan Ji looked at the boy in front of her, sighed, and asked Quan Chengying, "Quan Chengying, do you hate Han Yin?"

Quan Chengying pursed his lips, unsure how to begin.

Han Yin stood quietly to the side, intending to listen to what Quan Chengying had to say.

Ever since he impulsively kissed Quan Chengying, Quan Chengying has been avoiding him, and they fight whenever they meet.

It's only gotten a little better in the last two days, but we still haven't been able to communicate.

These days made him regret his impulsive actions.

It was so agonizing.
