Chapter 105: Jiang Jiang Qinge's Warning

Inside the carriage moving at high speed.

After the little Emperor swallowed that mysterious liquid, the blood patterns on his face gradually receded; although the speed of recession was slow, it at least alleviated much of the little Emperor's pain.

The little Emperor breathed heavily for a moment, and surprise surged onto his small face: "He actually didn't lie to me."

The Eldest Princess's expression still looked somewhat unpleasant, and she reproached, "What is this thing? Who gave it to you?"

"This is what that Li Luo gave me just now... He saw my face wasn't looking good, so he gave me a bottle of this stuff, saying I could use it to relieve the discomfort when I felt bad," the little Emperor said obediently.

"Sister, I didn't want to use it either, but it was too unbearable just now, and I couldn't help myself."

"Li Luo?"

The Eldest Princess furrowed her brows slightly; she looked at the glass bottle in her hand, then poured a little of the remaining liquid into her palm, sensed it for a moment, and said, "Strange, this is merely source water condensed from Water-attribute power, yet this sense of purity is quite unexpected."

Water-attribute power inherently possesses healing effects, which isn't strange, but over these years, she had not failed to seek out powerful figures with high-grade Water-attribute power to treat the little Emperor, yet there was no significant effect.

So why was Li Luo's source water able to have some effect?

Of course, this effect was indeed just a slight alleviation of the little Emperor's pain, its function being much the same as the medicine the little Emperor usually took.

"You cannot take unknown substances casually in the future; remember, you are the Emperor of Great Xia, and now within the Wang Ting, only you and I, sister and brother, rely on each other; you absolutely cannot have anything happen to you," the Eldest Princess said sternly after putting away the glass bottle.

Upon hearing this, the little Emperor nodded obediently, then lay down on the soft couch to rest.

Seeing that he had fallen asleep, the Eldest Princess took out the glass bottle, examined it for a moment, and a gleam flowed through her phoenix eyes.

"Li Luo..."

"This young master of the Luo An Manor doesn't seem as simple as he appears."

Under the night sky, the headquarters of the Luo An Manor was quiet yet carried a touch of warmth.

Inside a pavilion.

Li Luo took out the four sets of materials he had purchased during the day; just as he was about to begin forging to fill the last two holes of the "Small Formless Divine Wheel," his gaze suddenly pierced through a crack in the window and saw a slender, graceful figure.

So he smiled, pushed open the window, and saw that on the corridor bridge, Jiang Jiang Qinge was facing the moonlight, overlooking the Luo An Manor.

Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge each lived in a pavilion adjacent to one another, connected by a corridor bridge; so he thought for a moment, climbed out of the window, and then ascended the corridor bridge as well.

As he drew closer, he discovered that Jiang Jiang Qinge was currently wearing simple, form-fitting pajamas and trousers; yet even with the slightly loose garments, she still displayed an extraordinary temperament.

Jiang Jiang Qinge seemed to have just finished bathing; her long hair was damp with moisture, and as her thick eyelashes fluttered gently, she momentarily lacked some of her usual sharpness and heroism, gaining instead a softer aura.

Li Luo sized up Jiang Jiang Qinge's nearly perfect figure, then walked to her side, smelling the faint fragrance of the girl beside him, while his gaze also looked out over the vast Luo An Manor headquarters.

"Your pajamas are a bit cute," Li Luo suddenly said.

Because he saw that a somewhat chubby and foolish-looking big white goose was embroidered on Jiang Jiang Qinge's pajamas; this big white goose's temperament clashed terribly with hers, yet precisely because of that, it created a contrasting sense of cuteness.

Upon hearing this, a soft smile rose at the corner of Jiang Jiang Qinge's lips, and she said somewhat boastfully, "Of course, my Master's wife embroidered this for me."

"My mother's craftsmanship is actually a bit poor," Li Luo commented.

Jiang Jiang Qinge backhanded a knife-chop onto Li Luo's arm and warned, "Do not slander my Master's wife."

Li Luo smiled, looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and suddenly said, "Sister Jiang Qinge, what is the Wang Hou battlefield?"

Jiang Jiang Qinge's slender body clearly stiffened slightly, then relaxed; however, she did not answer, saying only, "You will know when you reach the Sheng Zhu Xuan Star Academy; there is no need to tell you now."

"My father and mother should be fine, right?" Li Luo didn't mind and continued asking.

Jiang Jiang Qinge nodded vigorously, saying, "They are definitely fine."

"I feel the same way," Li Luo smiled.

Jiang Jiang Qinge looked at him and said softly, "Li Luo, rest assured; even if Master and Master's wife are not here, I will not let anyone bully you."

Li Luo said discontentedly, "You are simply treating me like a child to coax me."

Jiang Jiang Qinge smiled, reached out her small hand to pat Li Luo's head, and said, "It seems you really aren't a child anymore."

Li Luo felt somewhat helpless, let Jiang Jiang Qinge play with his hair, and then recounted the events that had happened today at the Golden Dragon Treasure Hall.

"Oh?"

After Jiang Jiang Qinge listened, her expression shifted slightly, and she said, "According to what you say, that little boy's guard must be at least a Tian Gang General rank powerhouse... and even the Golden Dragon Treasure Hall would give him face, with Director Yu Yu Hongxi personally speaking to waive the material costs; to be honest, even the young masters of the Five Manors do not have this qualification."

"There is only one person in the entire Great Xia City who fits what you described."

"That is the little Emperor of the Wang Ting."

Li Luo was truly a bit shocked this time: "That brat is the little Emperor?"

Regarding the Wang Ting that rules the Great Xia Kingdom, as the young master of the Luo An Manor, Li Luo did not feel awe, but he certainly held deep apprehension toward it; so when he heard that the brat he had once tricked was actually the little Emperor, his heart couldn't help but feel a bit uneasy.

"In recent years, the old Emperor passed away, and the new Emperor ascended, but due to his young age, the state affairs were ultimately managed by the Regent Prince, along with that Eldest Princess..."

"The Eldest Princess is named Gong Gong Luanyu, and she is also a student of the Four-Star Court at the Sheng Zhu Xuan Star Academy, considered one of the strongest students there," Jiang Jiang Qinge said.

"How does she compare to you?" Li Luo asked curiously.

"The Sheng Zhu Xuan Star Academy uses a Four-Star Court system; students advance one level each year after passing assessments. I am in the Three-Star Court this year, one court level lower than this Eldest Princess, and in terms of strength, she is certainly superior now, but after this year, that may not be the case," Jiang Jiang Qinge said calmly, her words carrying a natural boldness.

Li Luo gave a thumbs-up.

"By the way, in less than ten days, the Sheng Zhu Xuan Star Academy will open; for you new students, the most important matter after entering the academy should be the Teacher Selection Competition, simply put, class assignment."

Jiang Jiang Qinge stared at Li Luo and said, "In the Sheng Zhu Xuan Star Academy, instructors have three levels: the strongest are the Purple-Glow Instructors, followed by the Gold-Glow Instructors, and the weakest are the Silver-Glow Instructors..."

"You must remember that selecting a teacher is extremely important, because the higher the instructor's level, the greater the resources they can possess; and some resources within the Sheng Zhu Xuan Star Academy are unique throughout the entire Great Xia, so in the Teacher Selection Competition, you must secure the favor of a Purple-Glow Instructor and become his disciple."

Li Luo nodded blankly; it seemed the Sheng Zhu Xuan Star Academy was indeed more high-end, even conducting this so-called Teacher Selection; moreover, the so-called Purple-Glow Instructors were said to be top-tier powerhouses of the Marquis Realm!

"How to select a teacher, you will know when the time comes; however, I must remind you of one thing: this time, five Purple-Glow Instructors will appear; among these five, there is one you must not provoke, nor can you choose him as your instructor." When Jiang Jiang Qinge reached this point, her beautiful face became much more serious.

"Who?" Li Luo was stunned.

"That Purple-Glow Instructor is named Shen Shen Jinxiao..." When mentioning this name, a trace of disgust seemed to flash through Jiang Jiang Qinge's eyes.

"Why?" Li Luo, keenly sensing Jiang Jiang Qinge's emotion, pressed on.

"When I first entered the Sheng Zhu Xuan Star Academy, he was my instructor, but later he subtly expressed some feelings toward me..."

"I was very disgusted by this, so I went directly to the Dean of the Sheng Zhu Xuan Star Academy and had my instructor changed."

Li Luo stood with his mouth agape, then said bitterly, "My sister Jiang Qinge, is your charm that strong? Even a Marquis Realm instructor couldn't resist?"

Jiang Jiang Qinge said lightly, "Although this person is a Purple Light Mentor, I was born with a Tian Sheng Jiu Pin Light Phase, so my perception of the good and evil in a person's heart is more sensitive. That's how I know this person is deeply scheming—best to keep your distance."

"Have you remembered?" she admonished.

Li Luo let out a sigh and nodded.

Normally, shouldn't a rival be some outstanding student? Why, in his case, had it escalated directly into a Purple Light Mentor?

Our family's big white goose...

is truly terrifying.
