C122 (1/2)
A long period of ti esti, thus, he raised his body and expressed to the Black Dragon that the lessons for tonight should come to an end
The Black Dragon was clearly unhappy, but graciously allowed him to leave
He raised his head to look at the underground cavern’s arched ceiling; looking at the bottom of the abandoned well from his location, all that could be seen was a sht
Hoas he going to get back up?
Upon re the process used to leave this place last ti as quickly as he could, before stowing them away In his concentration, he failed to notice that while he was doing all this, the Black Dragon had an evident look of nervousness and revulsion in its eyes
A bright flash of light went by and Chen Chang Sheng’s body disappeared froround
The Black Dragon looked at the ground, its whiskers fluttering gently; this wasn’t a farewell, but a gesture, expressing that he should quickly coain
At the next round once more
It was that sub palace within the Imperial Palace and that same pond
He left the pond and reached the edge, after checking to make sure there was no one around, he quickly took out his clothing and got dressed
The early ht, but Autumn is cold; a breeze came in from the side of the palace and within a short while,medicinal decoctions to reinforce his muscles and bone, it was too much to bear
Which path should he take next?
He hugged hi the route he took that night, suddenly, he saw the Black Goat at the opposite end of the pond
This surprised hio of his aro, the Black Goat would show up The ed woman wasn’t here today, but the Black Goat still appeared He was beginning to find this peculiar and started feeling that there had to be some sort of secret connection behind all of this
Yet he did not knoho the Black Goat would definitely not yield an answer
He walked over to the opposite side of the pond The Black Goat lightly nudged his knees, just as it had for the previous occasions and then started leading the way Unknown as to if it was due to being too early in theor some other reason, the I, even servants that should have been tasked with sweeping the grounds could not be seen; with this, one person and one goat, easily reached the palace walls
Ivy snaked across the palace wall, between the ivy, the faint outline of an old door could be seen, on the door was a lock
A key was hung on the Black Goat’s collar
Chen Chang Sheng took the key and unlocked the door, he then entered the quiet path and shortly arrived back at Orthodox Academy
This wasn’t the path used by the ed woman, it was the one used by Mo Yu
Chen Chang Sheng wanted to place the key back onto the Black Goat’s collar, but the Black Goat leaned its head to the side, refusing
He considered for a while before saying a word of thanks, then stoay the key
The Black Goat returned to the Iain closed shut
After this incident, life seemed to be calm and peaceful The Divine Empress’ intent was conveyed by Mo Yu to all the major poithin the Capital; Orthodox Academy’s entrance was still in a state of disrepair; no one dared to co for trouble, Jin Yu Lu had replaced the function of a front gate; with a teapot in hand and lying down upon a ba closed
Chen Chang Sheng continued hat he was doing before, studiously reading and cultivating every day andadjustments in preparation for the Grand Exa exam papers fro Thirty-Six and Xuan Yuan Po to the Hundred Herb Garden across the wall in order to obtain large quantities of medicinal herbs
Xuan Yuan Po’s injury to his right ar found a suitable skill for him to practise, it was just unknown as to how much could he improve by, by the time of the Grand Examination
As theThirty-Six’s participation in the Grand Exareat ih the Old Master had heavily chastised hi Heavenly Acade were not reduced and had instead, increased It see family were aware of events in the Capital and knew very well about Orthodox Academy’s current situation
Apart from this, the Education Board also provided Orthodox Academy with a lot of benefits, Minister Xin personally oversaw all the arrangeest contributor in the end, was Luo Luo; she took theand prepared the them into medicinal pills, which were subsequently sent to the acadee number of other supplies
Preparations were coly to await the date of the Grand Examination, yet upon this moment, a small incident occurred
Onehad coht to Purify and returned to the dorht of Mo Yu Lady Mo Yu’s cascading black hair was loosely sprawled around her shoulders, but she wasn’t asleep, she had her hands on her waist and was standing by the bedside with a scowl on her face; giving the appearance of so for a quarrel
This was an appearance Chen Chang Sheng had seen a lot of recently; every day after waking Tang Thirty-Six, he would see so mood”; in other words, bad sleep
“What’s wrong?”
Even though Orthodox Academy and Mo Yu were enemies, he was still very curious about the reason for her current appearance, he was certain that the pillow contained freshthe mind
Mo Yu flipped up the bedding and pointed at sorily saying: “If you don’t want me to sleep here, then all you have to do is tell me, at the very least, you shouldn’t have placed these stones to spite me”
This wasn’t the case, but fro intentionally spiting her
Chen Chang Sheng couldn’t understand; the crystals were provided by the Wen Shui Tang family and Luo Luo, they contained the property of jade essence, when used during reatly raise the absorption rate of Star Brilliance, which hy he had stuffed the crystals under his bedding
For the Grand Examination, he hadn’t left any details to chance
“I added two layers of bedding and tried it myself, the crystals can’t be felt at all” He explained to Mo Yu
Mo Yu didn’t say anything, thinking to herself, if he knew that Ping Guo would be able to feel a single pea under ten layers of bedding and that it would stop her fro, he definitely wouldn’t be able to understand
Fro; this was the first snow
From within the , it suddenly turned quiet, the two of the a little aard
It was at this er was unreasonable, while Chen Chang Sheng realised he didn’t have any need to proffer an explanation
This was in his roos for her and they were, in fact, enemies
Mo Yu left and didn’t coain till the Grand Examination, it seems she finally realised how ridiculous her actions were
Yet, on the second day, Chen Chang Sheng found that his bedding and pillow had disappeared
So this was acceptable? He lifted his sleeve and had a sniff, but couldn’t detect any scent
Why did Luo Luo and the Black Goat enjoy s him? Now, even someone like Lady Mo Yu was…
Chen Chang Sheng couldn’t bring hiratification, as a person witheach night to sleep was so difficult to accept
Tiht on by the first snow had already faded Daily snow in the Capital was already co of Auturadually deepened; the date of the Grand Examination fast approached
Chen Chang Sheng knew that it was no longer the ti
There were only days left till the Grand Examination, without a word to anyone, under the cover of ablizzard, he left the acadeold-like leaves had been covered by the snow and the Capital’s fa that could only be seen next year; tourists were absent and apart frouards that were stationed afar or the barely visible flying carriages that were leaving trails in the skies above, nothing else could be seen here
