Chapter 16 Digging at a Corner of the Wall (2/2)

“Waa, I’m blind.” Zhou Yuan hurriedly took advantage of this turn of events to cover his eyes.

Su Youwei gracefully hopped off the tall stool and placed the book back on the bookshelf. Her face was red as she rolled her eyes at the acting Zhou Yuan and spit out, “Low-class.”

Zhou Yuan opened his eyes and helplessly replied, “It was an accident.”

Su Youwei softly snorted. “Why has the care-free and unambitious prince come here?”

“Heh heh, if I did not come, I’m afraid that my little Weiwei would be kidnapped by someone.” Zhou Yuan chuckled.

“Eeih, so sickening! Don’t address me in such a way!”

Su Youwei’s pretty face was red as she resentfully glared at Zhou Yuan. Her little mouth stuck out slightly as she said in a somewhat distressed manner, “You also know of this huh? That Qi Yue has approached me quite a few times. So annoying.”

“He request that you enter the B class after the newcomer exam?” Zhou Yuan’s eyes narrowed. This Qi Yue was indeed determined, to think that he would dare to dig at the corners of Zhou Yuan’s wall!

Su Youwei nodded. She did not thoroughly understand the struggle for the position of headmaster, but she knew that Zhou Yuan and Qi Yue did not get along. Hence, she made excuses whenever Qi Yue tried to win her over to his side.

“What did he offer?”

Su Youwei rolled her eyes at Zhou Yuan again. His words were unpleasant to the ear, but she knew that that was not what he meant. Hence, she replied, “Let’s not mention the wealth and power he guaranteed, he even promised to give me a tier 3 Genesis Qi technique after I reach the Qi Nourishing stage.”

“So generous huh.” Zhou Yuan was somewhat amazed. A tier 3 Genesis Qi technique. The highest tier Genesis Qi technique in their royal treasury was only tier 4.

“However, I still rejected his offer.” Water glimmered in Su Youwei’s eyes as she continued in a low voice, “He was not too happy and asked what you gave me.”

“I told him that his highness did not give me anything. He merely helped me kick open a door.”

Her voice became softer and softer towards the end, but it still made Zhou Yuan chuckle bitterly. It had been pure chance that he had passed by and seen a little girl braving the torrential rain as she kneeled and begged before a clinic. He had only kicked open the tightly shut doors of the clinic due to a sudden surge of anger at this injustice.

How could he know that his unintentional actions from back then would be deeply carved by Su Youwei onto her heart.

Zhou Yuan said, “That fellow Qi Yue probably almost died from anger.”

“Well that has nothing to do with me.” Su Youwei covered her mouth as she softly chuckled.

Zhou Yuan nodded but secretly thought to himself that he should also prepare a decent technique for Su Youwei after she reached the Qi Nourishing stage. Else her talent would really be wasted.

“How has your channel opening been going recently?” Asked Zhou Yuan.

Su Youwei casually replied, “Not bad, unblocking the fourth meridian channel before the newcomer exam should not be difficult.”

Zhou Yuan clicked his tongue in praise. Su Youwei’s talent was indeed outstanding. If she was under the same conditions as himself; drinking Nine Beast Soup and eating Mysterious Crystal Rice daily, it was likely that even Qi Yue would not be able to compare to her.

However, Zhou Yuan did not dare to mention giving Nine Beast Soup and Mysterious Crystal Rice to Su Youwei. This lass was not only very sharp but also extremely stubborn. She definitely would not accept such help from Zhou Yuan.

Zhou Yuan looked towards Su Youwei and said, “Headmaster Chu told me earlier that I must make sure that you enter the A class.”

Su Youwei thought for a moment before she smiled and said, “You can tell him that I will enter the A class if you are also allowed to enter.”

Although she had spoken in an off-handed manner, there was some worry in her eyes. The requirement for entering the A class was placing top ten in the newcomer exam, and Zhou Yuan had not even unblocked a single meridian channel. It was obviously an uphill task for him to achieve such results with just his elementary level Genesis Runes.

According to what she knew, headmaster Chu was a person that felt strongly about the rules. If Zhou Yuan was unable to take any of the top ten spots, headmaster Chu might not give the former face even if he was the prince.

How could Zhou Yuan not know her thoughts. He was a little touched as he looked at her and smiled, “Don’t worry about me. I will surely enter the A class.”

When Su Youwei saw how serious Zhou Yuan was, there was really nothing much to say. She could only nod her head.

The two happily chatted as they walked out away from the bookshelf. Just as they reached a turn, a figure suddenly appeared before them.

It was a rather tall young man who was also rather handsome. His expression changed a little when he saw Zhou Yuan and Su Youwei walk out together, but he quickly revealed a polite smile, “Your highness.”

Subsequently, his gaze turned towards Su Youwei as his eyes became much gentler. “Youwei, are you finished with your work? Are you free today? May I ask you out for a meal?”

Zhou Yuan’s eyes slightly narrowed as he watched this handsome young man. He had recognized the latter.

Lin Feng, another influential figure amongst the new batch of students. He was rumoured to be the most promising individual in the newcomer exam.

But according to what Zhou Yuan knew, this fellow had already been pulled over to Qi Yue’s side.
