"Lord Mu has just taken office and has arrived rather late today, causing us to wait here for two hours. Is that... not in accordance with the rules?"
Xuan Yuan Academy is the highest institution of learning in Southern Liang, cultivating the best warriors with the best spiritual veins in the country. All the instructors there are second-rank officials of the imperial court, and they are addressed as "Master".
"I also wanted to arrive earlier, but I was delayed because I recruited a new student on the way," Si Jin said as he slowly stepped down from the carriage, dressed in a light blue robe.
Her long, black hair was tied into a high ponytail with a white jade crown, and every move she made exuded charm.
The dean, promoted by Zhu Ziqing, was determined to make things difficult for Si Jin. He sneered, "It's quite rare that Lord Mu can find a student on his first day in office. I'd like to see what kind of... Ninth... Ninth Thousand Years Old!"
Before he could finish speaking, he saw Wei Linyuan following closely behind Si Jin. He immediately lowered his head, bent his knees, and knelt on the ground with a thud: "Greetings, Your Majesty."
Today, Wei Linyuan wore a plain black robe, his dark hair loose. He lacked his usual sharpness, but he still exuded a strong sense of oppression.
He lowered his eyes, glanced at the trembling dean, and said coldly, "Were you just trying to say... what am I?"
"No! This humble official wouldn't dare." The dean's face was deathly pale, and his whole body trembled involuntarily.
How did I end up with this jinx? Terrifying, absolutely terrifying!
Could it be true that the rumors these past few days have been circulating that the Ninth Prince has taken a liking to Mu Sijin?
Otherwise, why would she always be inseparable from him?
But before he could figure it out, Wei Linyuan said, "Do you think I'm deaf?"
He slowly lowered his head and reminded the dean above his head, "Do you know that the Eastern Depot's spies are all over the country? Someone cursed me behind my back before, so I cut out his tongue."
"You're insulting me to my face, aren't you going to... lose your head?"
Wei Linyuan spoke the last four words in a very low voice, which frightened the dean so much that he hurriedly kowtowed, drawing blood from the ground, before finally receiving the Nine Thousand Years' forgiveness.
"Lord Mu is here to recuperate today. If you dare to cause any trouble, I will immediately behead you." After saying this, he led Si Jin through the academy gate.
After the two had walked away, the dean collapsed to the ground in a disheveled state. Cold sweat soaked through his clothes, and when the cool breeze blew it away, he suddenly shivered.
Why did Wei Linyuan come along too?
So, is his plan to tamper with the black snake and make it devour Mu Sijin going to fail?
The dean was extremely worried and hurriedly went to the palace to report.
Just in case, Zhu Ziqing had no choice but to let Mu Siyu go with the dean to Xuanyuan Academy, where he and Si Jin would lead the students into the Youxuan Forest.
He also specifically instructed: "Remember, you must use your kinship with Mu Sijin to build a closer relationship, and whatever you do, don't let Wei Linyuan go with you! This time, you absolutely, positively must kill that bitch!"
"Yes," Mu Siyu replied readily.
He hated the world and he also hated Si Jin, this chosen one.
In the Northern Qi royal palace, he was no match for Mu Sijin in anything.
He originally thought that he would be better off after destroying the Northern Qi.
But now, he can only rely on Zhu Ziqing, so he might as well be a nobody prince in Northern Qi.
Why was Mu Sijin able to become the crown prince in Northern Qi, and also have Wei Linyuan's help in Southern Liang?
He had to work tirelessly every day, as if walking on thin ice.
He was determined to destroy Mu Sijin, help Zhu Ziqing seize power, and then wait for Zhu Ziqing to fulfill his promise and return to Northern Qi so that he could become the King of Northern Qi.
He can do it!
