"Of course, I won't forget your Miss Gao." Ling Xiang took out a bottle of Heart Protection Pills. "There are ten pills in one bottle, each pill is ten spirit stones, a total of one hundred spirit stones. I'll give you the money and the goods."
Nangong Yu didn't react much to Ling Xiang's behavior of asking for a higher price. He took out the spirit stone and took the Heart Protecting Pill without blinking.
Ling Xiang ordered Mu Heng to prepare a carriage and take Xiaoyu to the Marquis Zhenguo Mansion.
Ling Xiang got off her carriage and saw Nangong Yu as soon as she entered the door.
The man glanced at her and headed for the school. It seemed as if he had been waiting there specifically for Ling Xiang to lead the way. "This morning we have Master Pei and Mr. Jiang's class."
Ling Xiang did not respond, but followed him silently to the school. This was her mentality now, just doing her job as she pleased.
Pei Xueben had always liked Ling Xiang, a studious and intelligent student. After not seeing her for a long time, he asked with concern, "Is your injury healed?"
Ling Xiang performed the disciple's greeting: "I'm fine now. Thank you for your concern, Master."
Pei Xuewen continued to ask, "Have you fallen behind in your studies?"
Ling Xiang said respectfully, "I study every day and never slack off for even a single day. There are many things I don't understand, so I'll ask you after class."
Pei Xuewen nodded with satisfaction: "Take a seat."
In order to see Nangong Yu, Gao Zhenzhen stopped recuperating and came to school early. She thought that without Xuanyuan Qi, she could take classes with Nangong Yu alone. But, Ling Xiang actually came?
She is so angry!
But she couldn't show it, and she had to show her concern for Ling Xiang affectionately: "Miss Ling, I haven't seen you for a long time. You look much better."
Ling Xiang had deliberately made her face paler this morning to show she'd just had a bloodletting and was weak. How could Gao Zhenzhen actually tell she looked fine? I wondered which eye she saw that; she was quite good at lying.
"Thanks to Miss Gao." Ling Xiang said in a neither light nor heavy tone.
Nangong Yu glanced at Ling Xiang's face, and an inexplicable emotion was stained in his deep eyes. Without saying a word, he opened the book and prepared for class.
Gao Zhenzhen thought Ling Xiang was just being polite. Seeing that Nangong Yu had already entered the learning state, she didn't say anything and opened the book.
Without Xuanyuan Qi, the troublemaker, the classroom atmosphere was very friendly. Master Pei was not angry at the poor student and the class was very harmonious.
When the teacher asked a question, Gao Zhenzhen tried her best to show herself and was the first to answer. After she finished answering, she looked at Nangong Yu first.
If this had happened in the past, Nangong Yu would have certainly given her a look of encouragement and affirmation.
However, Nangong Yu didn't look at her, and his expression didn't change.
Gao Zhenzhen was very hurt and sat down silently.
Ling Xiang was too lazy to get involved in these things and sat in the back row studying quietly.
However, in order to verify whether Nangong Yu's change in attitude towards her was due to Ling Xiang, Gao Zhenzhen deliberately pointed out Ling Xiang: "I wonder what Miss Ling thinks of the question raised by the teacher?"
Following Gao Zhenzhen's words, the teacher looked at Ling Xiang and said, "Ling Xiang, you answer."
Ling Xiang stood up and bowed, then expressed his views and doubts.
The teacher was satisfied and answered Ling Xiang's doubts in detail.
Compared with the teacher's previous lukewarm attitude towards her, Gao Zhenzhen was very unhappy with the teacher's favoritism.
However, compared to the Master, she cared more about Nangong Yu's attitude.
She secretly observed Nangong Yu out of the corner of her eye, and saw that his expression still did not change, and he didn't even look at Ling Xiang. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.
As long as the prince doesn't know the truth, as long as he hasn't fallen in love with someone else, she still has a chance.
When the get out of class was over, Master Pei Xuewen kindly reminded: "By the way, the next class has been changed to Jiarong Lingzun's class. Ling Xiang, you should go to class too."
Ling Xiang was puzzled: "Am I going too?"
She remembered that when she first became Yan Jiarong's apprentice, Yan Jiarong didn't even drink a sip of the tea she offered him, so she never went to Yan Jiarong's place once in all the times she came to the Prince Qin's Mansion.
"Well, you go too." Master Pei gave an affirmative answer, packed up his books and left the school.
Gao Zhenzhen was puzzled and looked at Nangong Yu: "Your Highness, Jiarong Lingzun has always only taught you, his disciple, and Ling Xiang hasn't become his disciple yet, so why would Jiarong Lingzun call Ling Xiang to attend the class?"
Although Nangong Yu was surprised by his master's decision, he didn't feel very surprised.
The last time Ling Xiang defeated him in a horseback archery competition, his master specifically asked him about his feelings about the battle with Ling Xiang.
At the time, he responded, "Although Ling Xiang started late, her talent is no less than those so-called geniuses in the capital. Moreover, she has a strong character and is decisive. Given time, she will become a great talent."
He himself did not realize that his evaluation of Ling Xiang was so good, so good that Ling Zongjiarong was tempted to accept him as his disciple. He even asked him specifically when Ling Xiang would return to class.
"You'll find out when you get there."
Nangong Yu was the first to leave the academy. After walking a few steps, he didn't see Ling Xiang following him. He turned around and said, "Miss Ling, do you know the way to Master?"
"I don't know." Ling Xiang slowly put away the books on the table, without any surprise at being noticed by Ling Zun.
Nangong Yu frowned: "Are you not leaving yet?"
"Oh." After cleaning up the desk, Ling Xiang followed him. When she saw Xiaoyu and Mu Heng outside, she even had the leisure to look through their notes.
Seeing Ling Xiang and Nangong Yu coming over, Yan Jiarong nodded slightly: "Ling Xiang, have you tested your talent?"
Ling Xiang glanced at the crystal ball placed next to Yan Jiarong. Although it was smaller than the one Xuanyuan Qi took out last time, its appearance was almost the same. It was probably used to test talent.
Thinking of the last explosion of the spirit ball, which caused Xuanyuan Qi to suffer severe external injuries, Ling Xiang really didn't dare to take part in the test. He secretly took out a poison from the space and put it into his stomach.
She remembered that the last time she was poisoned, the spirit-detecting ball Xuanyuan Qi brought didn't change at all. This time, she should be able to get away with it, right?
Thinking this way, Ling Xiang answered seriously: "Of course I have been tested. I am not talented."
Yan Jiarong didn't expect this result. After thinking for a moment, he pointed at the spirit ball and said, "Let's try again."
Ling Xiang hesitated for a moment, but still put her hand on it.
As she expected, she was poisoned and the spirit ball did not react at all.
Yan Jiarong frowned slightly: "Are you poisoned?"
Ling Xiang touched the scar on his face and said, "Maybe it's because of this."
Nangong Yu therefore assumed that Ling Xiang's spirit ball had failed because of the poison Wu Yan had previously inflicted on her. After thinking for a moment, he took out a piece of crystal jade and said, "Use this."
The spirit-testing crystal jade is very expensive, and each piece can only be used once, so it is very precious. When Nangong Yu took out the spirit-testing crystal jade, Yan Jiarong was a little surprised.
"Let's use this." Yan Jiarong also really wanted to know Ling Xiang's talent.
Ling Xiang kept Xuanyuan Qi's advice in mind that her talent must not be exposed. She looked at the thing in Nangong Yu's hand, and saw the flowing spiritual energy. She knew without thinking that it was definitely more powerful than the spiritual jade.
What should she do? How can she refuse without leaving any trace?
