After leaving the dean's office, Mu Qingchen headed to the gra.s.s field.

"Fourth brother!"

Halfway there, he was suddenly called by a young student who appeared from the side.

It wasn’t anyone else, but the student from Mingfeng Hall who had once dined with him on the second floor of the cafeteria——Mu Chuan.

Mu Chuan's father and Mu Qingchen's mother were siblings, making them cousins by blood. However, since Mu Qingchen took his mother's surname, Mu Chuan always regarded Mu Qingchen as a direct member of the Mu Family.

Coincidentally, Mu Qingchen was also the fourth-ranked male in his generation of the Mu family.

"Don't you have cla.s.s?" Mu Qingchen asked, looking at Mu Chuan.

"I sneaked out!" Mu Chuan replied.

"What's the matter?" Mu Qingchen asked calmly.

Mu Chuan curiously asked, "Just now, my cla.s.smate pa.s.sed by the dean's office and heard you agreed to partic.i.p.ate in the polo tournament. Is it true?"

Mu Qingchen gave him a sideways glance, saying, "You skipped cla.s.s just to ask that?"

Mu Chuan laughed sheepishly, "I just wanted to know!"

Mu Qingchen continued walking ahead, "Go back to your cla.s.s."

Mu Chuan caught up to him, "If you partic.i.p.ate, I'll partic.i.p.ate too!"

Mu Qingchen walked away.

The polo tournament involved two teams competing against each other, with each team fielding four players. There were two polo hitters—one main and one a.s.sistant, one ball pa.s.ser, and one defender.

The ball pa.s.ser's main responsibilities were to disrupt the opponent's actions and to feed the ball to the two polo hitters. The defender's primary role was to guard their own team's goal and prevent the opposing team from scoring.

When Mu Qingchen arrived at the gra.s.s field, Gu Jiao had just finished learning the rules of polo from Teacher Wu and was choosing a polo mallet nearby.

"This one is good!" Zhou Tong said, holding up a polo mallet to Gu Jiao.

"Yours is a bit worn out. Use this one instead." Zhong Ding selected another polo mallet and handed it to Gu Jiao.

A group of students gathered at the edge of the field to help Gu Jiao choose a mallet.

Just as Mu Qingchen was about to join them, a large group of people suddenly appeared on the other side of the field.

Describing it as a large group might be an exaggeration, as there were only about twenty people, but their presence was overwhelmingly strong, reminiscent of a vast army.

Among them, a man with a delicate and refined demeanor approached Mu Qingchen, bowed slightly, and said something. Mu Qingchen nodded slightly and went along with him.

Zhong Ding's attention was drawn to the scene. In the midst of those imposing figures, there seemed to be a young man of n.o.ble bearing surrounded by them.

He murmured, "Who are those people?"

Zhou Tong stretched his neck to look and exclaimed in surprise, "My goodness, they are from the Crown Prince Estate!"

"How do you know?" Zhong Ding inquired.

Zhou Tong, too cautious to point directly, indicated with his eyes, "They are the Crown Prince's guards. I've seen them in the inner city."

Zhong Ding was incredulous, "People from the Crown Prince Estate are here at our academy?"

Unbelievable!

Was he dreaming?

In his lifetime, he never thought he would see someone from the Crown Prince Estate from afar!

Zhou Tong continued, "That young man... he should be Ming Junw.a.n.g from the Crown Prince Estate."

"The Crown Prince's son?" Gu Jiao asked.

"Yes." Zhou Tong nodded, "The Crown Prince's legitimate son."

Gu Jiao looked in that direction. Although it was far away, Gu Jiao's eyesight was excellent, and she could still see the side profile of the young man in the fine clothes.

It was a face radiating confidence and the dignity of someone in a high position. He was talking to Mu Qingchen with a gentle att.i.tude, occasionally showing a friendly smile.

Zhou Tong said enviously, "Only Young Master Qingchen has such influence to have Ming Junw.a.n.g from the Crown Prince Estate come over to see him. Unlike us, who don't even have the privilege to approach Ming Junw.a.n.g and pay our respects."

Ming Junw.a.n.g from the Crown Prince Estate was traveling incognito and did not require a formal reception. After greeting Mu Qingchen, he went with him to Dean Cen's office.

"Ming Junw.a.n.g used to be a student at Tianqiong Academy." Zhong Ding said to Gu Jiao after Zhou Tong and the others were called away.

Gu Jiao was still selecting a polo mallet.

She didn't respond upon hearing this.

What did the people from the Crown Prince Estate have to do with her?

Zhong Ding looked around and couldn't resist his burning curiosity.

He whispered to Gu Jiao, "Earlier, when those from the State of Yan were here, I didn't dare say anything. Do you know about the Crown Prince Estate?"

"No." Gu Jiao replied flatly, switching to another mallet.

Zhong Ding had a talkative nature. He didn't care whether Gu Jiao was interested; he just needed to share what was on his mind, or he would feel uncomfortable keeping it in.

He lowered his voice and said, "The Crown Prince wasn't originally the heir to the throne, and Ming Junw.a.n.g hadn't been given the t.i.tle of Junw.a.n.g yet."

This mallet isn't right either, it’s too light. Gu Jiao frowned and picked another one.

Zhong Ding moved in front of her and said, "The Crown Prince is the second son of the Emperor of the State of Yan. His birth mother is Imperial Consort Han. Do you know the Han Family?"

"No." Gu Jiao answered.

Zhong Ding continued, "I don't know much either, but it's apparently a very powerful family. The original heir to the throne was the third princess, born of the late Empress."

Hearing this, Gu Jiao finally showed a bit of reaction. She paused her grip on the polo mallet and looked at Zhong Ding, "A princess? A princess can be the heir to the throne?"

This genuinely surprised Gu Jiao.

Zhong Ding hurriedly explained, "There was no such precedent before. The Crown Princess of the State of Yan was the first. Do you know who the late Empress's brother is?"

He didn't wait for Gu Jiao to answer and continued, "He's the State of Yan's G.o.dly General, Xuanyuan Li! Xuanyuan Li's sister entered the central palace, becoming the Empress and giving birth to a daughter for the Emperor of the State of Yan.”

“During the full moon banquet, the Emperor decreed her to be the Crown Princess of the State of Yan. She truly gathered all the love and favor in the world! Her father is the Emperor, her mother is the Empress, and her uncle is the head of the Xuanyuan Family, commanding an army of millions... Tsk tsk, there is no one in the world more n.o.ble than her.”

"And what happened next?" Gu Jiao asked.

She rarely showed interest in unrelated matters, but perhaps because she wielded Xuanyuan Li's divine weapon, she felt a bit more curious about things related to the Xuanyuan Family.

Zhong Ding spread his hands and sighed, "What happened next? There was no next. The Xuanyuan Family rebelled, the Crown Princess was deposed, the late Empress was confined to the cold palace, and the legendary G.o.dly General fell from grace."

Gu Jiao paused and asked, "How old was the Crown Princess?"

PLEASE CHECK OUT OUR NEW PROJECT:

Description:

In the suspenseful supernatural novel “Records of Mortals,” Jiang Baiyan, once a solitary and impoverished youth, finds refuge in the Shi family of Chang’an due to his extraordinary bloodline. With his clear and captivating peach blossom eyes, this seemingly innocent young man conceals a fanatical and malevolent lunatic within. Destined to succ.u.mb to darkness amidst hardship and degradation, he becomes a harbinger of chaos.

When Shi Dai suddenly transmigrates, she takes on the role of the Shi family’s young lady, the one who subjects him to countless trials, eventually leading to her demise.

The twist? She never got to finish reading the novel.

From what she knew of the plot, Jiang Baiyan was just a silent, timid, and often bullied pitiable character.

***

Jiang Baiyan had never encountered someone like Shi Dai.

After he had slaughtered all the evil creatures in the garden, the blood-stained young man, exuding a murderous aura, approached her step by step, his lips curling into a malicious smile, "Scared?"

Shi Dai responded, “You’re really amazing! I applaud you until I spin like a spiral and fly around the moon three hundred times! And also——you have dimples when you smile!"

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

—

After seeing her at a lantern festival with another man, Jiang Baiyan lowered his eyes, his fingers twirling her hair. He said in a mocking and sinister tone, "The mansion in the western suburbs...if I hide you there, no one will find you, right?"

Shi Dai replied, "Does it come with meals and lodging? Can I sleep in everyday? Oh, and your cooking is the best!"

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

—

Jiang Baiyan was supposed to dislike her, even hate her, but as their separation drew near, his eyes turned red and he grabbed her sleeve, pleading, "Don't abandon me, alri—”

Shi Dai responded, "Alright, alright, I’ll only have you. Mwah."

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

He hasn't finished his lines yet though…
