Venus smiled kindly and said, "If the princess wishes to stroll around the academy, I can send someone to accompany her."
"Actually... I still think it's more interesting to go alone." Feng Guang forced a smile. She was thinking about how to steer the conversation towards the name Liuli. Soon, an idea flashed into her mind, and she said seemingly casually, "Recently, I've been thinking of renaming my maid Liuli, but she feels like she's heard the name somewhere before. I'm afraid that other fairies might have this name, so I don't dare to change it for her rashly. So I wanted to ask the Dean, are there any people in the Heavenly Realm named Liuli?"
“The name Liuli…” Taibai Jinxing stroked his white beard and thought for a while, then nodded. “More than a hundred years ago, there was indeed a little fairy in the Heavenly Realm named Liuli.”
Feng Guang pressed further, "More than a hundred years ago? Where is she now?"
"This... Liuli was originally a glass lamp. As soon as she took human form, she went to the mortal world and never returned to the heavenly realm. Some people say that she eloped with a man in the mortal world and dared not return to the heavenly realm. However, the heavenly soldiers and generals who went down to capture her could never find her, so the matter was left unresolved."
Hearing this, she felt even more puzzled. "Does the Dean mean that Fairy Liuli disappeared a hundred years ago and has never appeared again?"
“Exactly.” Venus sighed again. “Everyone says that there are many lovesick men and women in the human world, but little do they know that in our celestial realm, there are quite a few immortals who are willing to fall into depravity for the sake of love.”
Feng Guang's first reaction was to smile. "The dean's words... seem to carry a lot of emotion."
"Princess, you may not know that the gods in the heavens live longer than mortals. In these long years, there are quite a few immortals whose divine status has been damaged because they cannot bear the loneliness without someone to accompany them."
Even immortals are not immortal; their lifespan is simply much longer than that of mortals. One hundred years on earth is actually equivalent to one year in heaven. All things are born and die; this is the law of the universe, and neither humans nor gods can break this law.
Feng Guang was also moved by Taibai Jinxing's words, and just as she was feeling a little melancholy, a man walked in.
The man had striking eyebrows and bright eyes, and a handsome appearance. He was also very elegant in every gesture. When he saw that there was more than just Venus in the study, he was stunned for a moment before he remembered to greet her, "So the princess is here too."
Feng Guang asked in confusion, "Who are you?"
"Let me introduce you to the princess," said Venus with a smile. "This is our academy's swordsmanship teacher, True Lord Qingya."
Qingya Zhenjun laughed heartily, "What's going on? Has the princess forgotten me? Does she need the dean to introduce me personally?"
Venus shook his head and sighed, "Qingya Zhenjun is right. The princess has forgotten many things because of her previous injury."
"What? Such a thing actually happened?" Qingya exclaimed in surprise. "Do you remember what the princess promised me, that she would have a sword duel with me?"
"You want to have a swordsmanship contest with me?"
"Princess, don't believe him," Taibai Jinxing said with a laugh. "Qingya Zhenjun just likes to joke like this. Princess, you used to dislike private duels the most, so how could you possibly agree to a duel with someone?"
Qingya Zhenjun touched his nose sheepishly, "Dean, why did you expose me so quickly? I've long heard that the princess is a master swordsman. We're both swordsmen, so I just wanted to have a match with her."
