Chapter 105: Jiang Qinge's Warning

Inside the speeding carriage.

After the young Emperor swallowed that mysterious liquid, the blood-colored patterns on his face gradually faded; although the fading was slow, it at least alleviated much of the young Emperor's pain.

The young Emperor breathed heavily for a moment, a look of surprise appearing on his small face: "He actually didn't lie to me."

The Princess's expression remained somewhat unpleasant, and she chided, "What is this thing? Who gave it to you?"

"This was given to me by that Li Luo just now... He saw that my complexion was bad, so he gave me a bottle of this stuff, saying it could provide relief when I felt uncomfortable," the young Emperor said honestly.

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

"Li Luo?"

The Princess frowned slightly. She looked at the glass bottle in her hand, then poured a bit of the remaining liquid into her palm. After sensing it for a moment, she said, "Strange, this is just source water condensed from the power of a Water Resonance, but this purity is quite surprising."

The power of a Water Resonance naturally possesses healing effects, so this was not strange, but over these years, she had not failed to find experts with high-grade Water Resonances to treat the young Emperor, yet none had much effect.

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

Of course, this effect was indeed only a slight alleviation of the young Emperor's pain, and its function was about the same as the medicine the young Emperor usually took.

"In the future, do not take unknown things casually. Remember, you are the Emperor of Great Xia. Now, in the Royal Court, you and I are all that the other has. You absolutely cannot let anything happen to you," the Princess said, putting the glass bottle away and warning him sternly.

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

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

"Li Luo..."

"This young House Master of House Luolan doesn't seem as simple as he looks."

Under the night sky, the headquarters of House Luolan was quiet and filled with a sense of warmth.

In a pavilion.

Li Luo took out the four materials he had purchased during the day. Just as he was about to start forging to fill the final two holes of the "Little Non-Phase Divine Wheel," his gaze suddenly passed through a gap in the window and caught sight of a slender, graceful figure.

So he smiled, pushed open the window, and saw Jiang Qinge on the covered bridge, facing the moonlight and overlooking House Luolan.

Li Luo and Jiang Qinge each lived in an adjacent pavilion, and the two pavilions were connected by a covered bridge, so he thought for a moment, climbed out of the window, and stepped onto the bridge.

As he approached, he realized that Jiang Qinge was wearing simple, form-fitting pajamas. Yet, even in the slightly loose clothing, she still exuded an extraordinary temperament.

Jiang Qinge seemed to have just finished bathing, her long hair still damp. As her thick eyelashes fluttered gently, she lost some of her usual sharp, heroic air and gained a touch of softness.

Li Luo took in Jiang Qinge's near-perfect figure, then walked to her side. Smelling the faint fragrance of the girl beside him, he also gazed out at the vast House Luolan headquarters.

"Your pajamas are kind of cute," Li Luo suddenly said.

Because he saw that embroidered on Jiang Qinge's pajamas was a somewhat chubby, silly-looking white goose. This white goose's temperament did not match hers at all, but because of that, it had a contrasting sense of cuteness.

Hearing this, a soft smile appeared on Jiang Qinge's lips, and she said somewhat boastfully, "Of course, this was embroidered for me by Master's wife."

"My mother's craftsmanship is really quite poor," Li Luo commented.

Jiang Qinge backhanded a hand-blade strike onto Li Luo's arm, warning, "You are not allowed to slander Master's wife."

Li Luo smiled. He looked up at the bright moon in the sky and suddenly asked, "Sister Qinge, what is the King-level Battlefield?"

Jiang Qinge's beautiful body stiffened slightly, but she quickly relaxed. She did not answer, only saying, "You will know when you reach the Saint Profound Star Academy. There is no need to tell you now."

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

Jiang Qinge nodded firmly and said, "They will definitely be fine."

"I think so too," Li Luo smiled.

Jiang Qinge looked at him and said softly, "Li Luo, don't worry. Even if Master and his wife aren't here, I won't let anyone bully you."

Li Luo said with dissatisfaction, "You are purely treating me like a child to be coaxed."

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

Li Luo felt somewhat helpless, letting Jiang Qinge play with his hair, and then he recounted what had happened at Long Baoxing today.

"Oh?"

When Jiang Qinge finished listening, her expression shifted slightly. "According to what you said, that little boy's guard was at least a Heaven-Grade General expert... and even Long Baoxing gave him face, with that President Yu Hongxi personally speaking to waive the cost of the materials. Honestly, even the young house masters of the Five Great Houses don't have that qualification."

"In the entire Great Xia City, only one person fits your description."

"That is the young Emperor of the Royal Court."

Li Luo was truly stunned this time: "That brat is the young Emperor?"

Regarding the Royal Court that ruled Great Xia, as the young House Master of House Luolan, Li Luo could not claim to be in awe, but he certainly held deep wariness toward it. So, when he heard that the brat he had swindled was the young Emperor, his heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

"A few years ago, the old Emperor passed away and the new Emperor ascended the throne, but because he was too young, state affairs were ultimately managed by the Regent Prince and that Princess..."

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

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

"The Saint Profound Star Academy uses a Four-Star Academy system. Students are promoted one level after annual assessments. I am in the Three-Star Academy this year, one grade lower than this Princess. In terms of strength, she is certainly a step ahead right now, but after this year, that might not be the case," Jiang Qinge said calmly, her words carrying a natural sense of pride.

Li Luo gave a thumbs up.

"By the way, there is less than ten days until the Saint Profound Star Academy opens. For you freshmen, the most important thing after entering the academy should be the Mentor Selection Tournament. Simply put, it's for class placement."

Jiang Qinge stared at Li Luo and said, "In the Saint Profound Star Academy, mentors have three levels: the strongest are Purple-Glory Mentors, followed by Gold-Glory Mentors, and the lowest are Silver-Glory Mentors..."

"You must remember, mentor selection is extremely important because the higher the level of the mentor, the greater the resources they possess. Some resources in the Saint Profound Star Academy are unique in all of Great Xia, so you must gain the favor of a Purple-Glory Mentor in the selection tournament and become their disciple."

Li Luo nodded blankly. It seemed this Saint Profound Star Academy was quite high-end, even having this so-called mentor selection. However, the so-called Purple-Glory Mentors were said to be top-tier experts at the Marquis Realm!

"You will know how to choose a mentor when the time comes, but I must warn you: there will be five Purple-Glory Mentors this time. Among these five, there is one you must not provoke, and you must not choose him as your mentor," Jiang Qinge said, her beautiful face becoming much more serious.

"Who?" Li Luo was startled.

"That Purple-Glory Mentor is named Shen Jinxiao..." When mentioning this name, a flash of disgust seemed to cross Jiang Qinge's eyes.

"Why?" Li Luo keenly sensed Jiang Qinge's emotion and pressed.

"When I first entered the Saint Profound Star Academy, he was my mentor, but later he vaguely expressed some feelings for me..."

"I was very disgusted by this, so I went directly to the Dean of the Saint Profound Star Academy and changed mentors."

Li Luo was dumbfounded, then smiled bitterly: "My Sister Qinge, has your charm reached this level? Even a Marquis Realm mentor can't hold back?"

Jiang Qinge said calmly, "Although this person is a Purple-Glory Mentor, I have an innate Ninth-Grade Light Resonance, which makes me more sensitive to the good and evil in people's hearts. I know this person is deep and calculating, so it is best to keep him at a distance."

"Did you remember?" she warned.

Li Luo sighed and nodded.

Normally, shouldn't romantic rivals be excellent fellow students? Why, in his case, did it directly escalate to a Purple-Glory Mentor?

Our family's white goose...

Is truly too terrifying.
