Chapter 111 Lanqi's Tea Smell is Too Strong
Prince Ainol and Lanci stood side by side beside the grand glass curtain wall. The transparent floor-to-ceiling windows allowed them to enjoy the beautiful view of the pedestrian square downstairs. Both of them had relaxed smiles on their faces and were chatting happily.
"Actually, Your Highness Enol, this is not difficult to judge. According to the professor's display of the art style of the demon world at that time, although the second painting looks abstract, it has several obvious flaws in the painting. This is not intentional, but caused by pure mistakes..."
Listening to Lanqi's description of the experiences in the Demon Realm painting classroom, Enol's eyes were full of recognition and he nodded continuously. He felt that if he were to look at the paintings again, he should be able to tell whether they were painted by the professor or the students based on the key points Lanqi mentioned.
Ainol was also extremely surprised that Lanqi could analyze everything so thoroughly in that instant.
You have to know that even if you are proficient in modern art and classical art, it is only for human beings.
Lanqi could fully understand the artistic concepts of ancient demons the moment he arrived in the demon world. This was incredible and not something that the human brain could do! I don't know how many minutes passed.
"By the way, Lanqi, are you and Hyperion going to buy any cards today? Sophia is a silver-level card maker. If she buys for you, you can get a lot of discounts within the association."
Enol reluctantly changed the topic of painting and asked the two of them.
While he was happy, Enol also realized that his conversation with Lanci left Hyperion with no chance to get a word in, so she just stood there waiting for them.
"Sophia..."
Lanqi repeated the name mentioned by Enol, with a little confusion.
"Oh, I forgot to introduce her to you. You are the only one present who doesn't know her. She is Countess Sophia Fostock. Hyperion, I and she are all familiar with each other."
Ainol clapped his hands, feeling confused, and finally turned to look at the purple-haired girl who was waiting on the sofa and watching him.
He almost forgot about Sophia.
Upon hearing this, Lanqi looked at the purple-haired Countess Sophia and nodded slightly in greeting.
However, although Sophia in the distance had been secretly paying attention to this side since just now, she didn't seem to want to respond to Lanqi at all at this moment. She just turned her eyes away arrogantly and pretended not to see it.
She was so absorbed in making cards that she didn't care how powerful Ranchi was in the film world.
She also never violates school rules and never deals with the student union.
When Enol was having a cordial conversation with Lanqi and completely ignored her because of Lanqi, she was already a little angry.
Obviously, Prince Enol had never paid so much attention to her, but in just a short while, Enol completely forgot about her because of a man!
Next to the glass curtain wall window on the third floor of the Card Creators Association.
Ainol seemed to be used to Sophia's temper. He apologized to Lanqi without any princely airs and said, "Don't mind Lanqi. Sophia actually has a good heart."
"Of course not."
Lanci shook his head.
Since he is Hyperion's friend, he must be a good person, just with a slightly weird personality.
Lanci then answered Enol's previous question: "This time I came to take the registered card maker exam, and Hyperion wanted to come and see me make cards."
For a moment, Ainol's expression became more interested.
"Sure enough, Lanqi, can you also make cards?"
Ainol asked, his tone full of surprise, as if he had long suspected whether Lanqi could also make cards.
"Yeah, I've been practicing hard."
Lanci admitted.
"Excuse me, the last time I saw someone so talented was Duke Migaiya."
Ainol's words were full of indescribable admiration, both for Miagaya and Lanqi.
"Duke Migaia?"
"Yes, Duke Mi Gaiya is a Magic Crystal-level card maker above the Platinum level, and one of the top card makers in the Southern Continent."
To Enol, Migaia is both a teacher and a friend. He has admired and been attached to Duke Migaia since he was a child.
Now I see the shadow of the young Miagaya in Lanqi, which is one of the reasons why Enol likes Lanqi so much.
Of course, Migaiya is very kind, not as naive as Lanqi.
"But I am also sure that you are different in one way. You will not be like Duke Migaiya who secretly hides a great demon and even marries a demon wife, shocking His Majesty the King. Hahaha, do you know the expression on my father's face at that time?"
Ainol smiled happily again and told Lanqi about the past events in the palace.
Lanqi: “…”
"By the way, Your Highness Ainol, have you kept your companions waiting for too long?"
Lanqi seemed to suddenly remember something and asked as if trying to change the subject.
At the same time, he glanced at the purple-haired Countess Sophia who was sitting on the sofa in the distance.
She was still looking over here secretly.
"!"
Prince Ainol was surprised. "Excuse me, let's go to the meeting area first. Sophia might be able to give you some practical advice about the card maker exam."
After Lanqi's reminder, Enol finally remembered that he had left Countess Sophia alone there for too long.
Immediately, Enol nodded apologetically in the direction of Sophia and led Lanci and Hyperion in that direction.
Lanci and Hyperion naturally did not reject Enol's kindness, as there was still plenty of time before the exam began.
As she walked, Hyperion couldn't help but glance at Sophia, then at Lanci.
Her eyes were full of confusion, trying to analyze something.
Hyperion was very grateful to Lanqi for helping her attract firepower, but she was also worried that Lanqi might have planned something bad because of Sophia's unreasonable gaze! ...
The three-story atrium lobby features soaring ceilings and columns that create a stunning sense of spaciousness, interwoven with dark wood and textured stone.
The meeting area, located on one side of the atrium lobby, is furnished with a set of plush sofas and a low coffee table, made of high-quality materials and in colors that match the surrounding decorative style. Several floor lamps beside the table add a touch of quiet elegance.
Seeing that Prince Ainol finally realized and came back, Sophia stopped staring at them in front of Ainol. Instead, she turned around and sat quietly on the sofa with her arms folded in front of her.
As the three of them walked closer and closer in the aisle, Lanqi smiled calmly and asked Ainoel a question unexpectedly: "Your Highness Ainoel, have you ever noticed that there is a most gentle girl you want to meet who is always quietly accompanying you?"
Suddenly, Sophia on the sofa moved noticeably.
She clenched her fists so tightly that she felt her ears starting to get hot.
She wanted to turn around and glare at Lanqi for asking such an ambiguous question, but she didn't dare to look back at Enol's face. Her heart seemed about to jump out as she waited for Enol's answer.
"No."
Prince Ainol replied in confusion.
The sound is clean and clear, without any hesitation.
This made Sophia so anxious that she sat on the sofa and stomped her feet in anger.
“…”
Lanqi seemed to have no idea what to say.
The three of them walked to the sofa and prepared to sit down.
Lanqi wanted to help again, and quietly reminded:
"Then Your Highness Ainor, I think that while you are concentrating on the creation and appreciation of art, you should also pay more attention to the people around you and don't let them wait too long."
Sophia, who had originally planned to give Lanci a death stare and warn him not to talk nonsense, gradually softened her expression.
She found that Lanqi seemed to be a really good person and tried his best to help her.
Unfortunately, that wooden man, Enol, is too slow.
Hyperion also sat down next to Sophia with peace of mind, because Enol and Lanqi naturally sat on the sofa opposite like brothers.
But what Sophia and Hyperion never expected was.
Prince Ainol suddenly showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.
He grasped Lanqi's shoulders tightly and said sincerely:
"I understand, Lanqi, you are the irreplaceable treasure of our Hutton Kingdom. You mean I should have taken the initiative to find you earlier!"
“…”
Lanqi was really speechless and could only helplessly smile at Sophia and Hyperion who were sitting opposite him.
In this smile, there are seven parts regret and three parts apology.
It seemed that he really wanted to help her, but he really couldn't help her, because Prince Enol really didn't pay any attention to her. On the other hand, even if Lanqi didn't do anything, Enol's eyes were all on him.
The atmosphere of the entire atrium seemed to change quietly in this instant.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
There was a silent chill beneath the silence.
This is a sign that gunpowder is about to smoke, making people feel depressed and nervous.
Hyperion's eyelids were already twitching.
Lanqi looks innocent and well-intentioned.
but.
This scene, coupled with Lanqi's words and actions, if you imagine Lanqi as a girl, a strong smell of green tea will come to you! !
Hyperion couldn't figure out for a moment whether Lanci really wanted to help Sophia, or whether he was just perfectly disguising his green tea nature! The extreme of innocence is just like green tea, and the extreme of green tea will interpret flawless purity. Hyperion once again saw the duality in Lanci! At this moment, Sophia, in this delicate situation, was gradually swaying towards the edge of explosion.
From her victim’s perspective, she began to wonder if Lanci had planned this for a long time, pretending to be innocent to win Enol’s unreserved trust, but was actually playing a trick on her!
If this is true, this cunning bad man might take advantage of this trust and play with the sincere Enol!
"Lanqi, I am really looking forward to what kind of cards you can make today, and I hope to have the honor of admiring your paintings in the future."
After seeing Lanqi's appreciation ability, Enol became extremely curious about how high his level of painting would be.
“…”
Sophia sat opposite the sofa, with her head down and her hands clasped.
Listening to Enol's infatuated praise of Lanqi again, as if she was crazy about him, she became more and more agitated, and finally she couldn't bear it anymore. She looked up at Lanqi and Enol and said in a low voice: "Enol, I am the best card maker and the most talented painter around you. You don't need to look up to this person so much!"
Sophia's breathing became a little anxious, and she was about to shout "Look at me more!"
"Sophia..."
Ainol seemed to be confused as well, and his gaze finally shifted from Lanqi to Sophia.
In fact, he was mainly envious of Lanqi's aura of pretending to be cool with every move in the Demon Academy, and wanted to learn from him the "way to pretend".
But for some reason Sophia's reaction was particularly emotional, as if a demon was pulling at her heartstrings, making her emotions so intense.
However, Enol looked at Lanqi, who also had an innocent and confused expression on his face.
final.
Between a woman and his good brother, Enol once again firmly chose to stand on the side of his good brother.
"Sophia, look at how scared you are, Lanqi... What if it affects his card maker exam today? He is a man who will definitely become a pillar of our Hutton Kingdom."
As Enol spoke, he couldn't help but praise Lanqi.
He had no idea how Sophia felt at the moment, and that such words were adding fuel to her jealousy and favoring Lanci.
At this moment, Lanqi still had that gentle and helpless smile on his face.
This finally made Sophia's jealousy grow uncontrollably! She looked at Enol and said unwillingly:
"I'm 17 years old and I'm already a silver-level card maker."
Among the students who have just been promoted to the second grade in the entire Magic Engineering Academy, there are only a handful of card makers who have reached the silver level!
"Why do you prefer to admire him who hasn't even obtained the status of a registered card maker, rather than pay more attention to me, even though I've tried so hard?"
Sophia's emotions, which had been pent up in her heart for a long time, finally burst out at this moment and she told the truth to Enol.
Ainol looked stunned.
"Sophia, is this what you think? I have always valued you..."
Enol had never seen Sophia express such straightforward emotions towards him. He was stunned and didn't know how to comfort her. He couldn't even organize his words.
When he exhaled white mist while speaking, he slowly felt the cold temperature.
"Your Highness, I must go now."
Lanqi secretly patted Enol on the back, and then signaled him with his eyes that it was time to sit next to Sophia and comfort her.
"Your Highness Enol, Miss Sophia, I have to hurry to the examination room on the fifth floor."
Lanqi looked at the time, then quickly stood up and said goodbye to the two of them.
"Oh, okay."
Ainol nodded, seeming to understand what Lanqi meant.
Soon, Hyperion also hurried away with Lanqi.
She secretly looked back and found that Enol had sat next to Sophia and started chatting with her. The atmosphere gradually improved. It seemed that such a drastic measure was necessary to promote the relationship between the awkward Sophia and the upright Enol.
"Lanqi, did you expect that this was the only way to make them reveal their true feelings?"
Hyperion couldn't help but ask curiously.
So far.
Lanqi finally lowered his head, breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled faintly.
"No, I'm not a love guru. Everything just happened naturally and spontaneously. That's all."
After saying that, he looked at Hyperion gently again, "It doesn't feel good to be stared at by Sophia, does it? Hyperion, you've worked hard too."
However.
Hearing this, Hyperion suddenly began to feel scared and began to doubt what Ranchi's smile just now meant.
Was it the pure heart of the little angel, or the revenge of the little devil, she couldn't tell! Hyperion suddenly thought of a question.
It wouldn't be a big deal if Lanqi didn't perform well in the card maker exam today.
But if Lanqi is really directly rated as a silver level, Sophia will then recall what she just said: I was already a silver-level card maker at the age of 17, while Lanqi.
Then Sophia would be extremely embarrassed in front of her favorite prince Ainol, because Lanqi was only 16 years old.
And what if, just what if, Lanqi accidentally performs exceptionally well today and wins the silver rank or even...
Hyperion didn't dare to think any further!
I worked hard today. It took me more than ten hours to write more than 9,000 words. The time I spent on editing the text was longer than the time I spent on writing. I will also try my best to update tomorrow.
