Chapter 635: Hello, Teacher Zhang

"I..."

Ye Wentian was startled, cold sweat streaming down his face.

Although he was the Emperor of the Huan Yu Empire, the ruler of a nation, he dared not speak carelessly before her.

The Huan Yu Empire was merely a vassal state of the Hong Yuan first-class empire; if she truly wished, replacing him would be effortless, and even Wei Jiang would have nothing to say.

"I wonder what has angered the princess. Wentian knows his talents are meager, yet he has worked diligently... If there is anything I have done improperly, I will do my utmost to correct it, so as not to betray Hong Yuan Empire's trust..."

Ye Wentian hurriedly said.

When he had seen this princess this morning, she was perfectly fine; how could she be scolding him so harshly in the blink of an eye?

"Hmph, even in the imperial capital, there are unruly subjects..."

Thinking of that lecherous youth, Princess Fei'er clenched her teeth.

A dignified princess, losing a bet and becoming someone's maidservant—how utterly disgraceful!

"Unruly subjects?" Ye Wentian was taken aback.

He had thought he had done something to displease her; unruly subjects... what was going on?

What kind of unruly subject could make a dignified princess so furious?

"That's right, a young man in his twenties, with a lecherous face, clearly not a good person at first glance. He appeared at the Rare Treasures Pavilion!" said Princess Fei'er.

"The Rare Treasures Pavilion? Good, I'll send someone to investigate immediately..."

Knowing that her anger was not due to his governance of the nation, Ye Wentian breathed a sigh of relief and quickly cupped his hands: "Once found, I'll have him captured and brought for the princess to deal with!"

"Who said I want to deal with him?"

Princess Fei'er stamped her foot: "Did I ask you to capture him?"

"I..."

Ye Wentian's head spun, unsure how to respond.

He had long heard that this Princess Yu'er had a strange temperament, moody and unpredictable; he hadn't expected it to be true!

He was the sovereign of the Huan Yu Empire, a peak Mortal Transformation Eighth Layer powerhouse, yet he was being scolded to his face like a grandson—it was infuriating.

However, he wouldn't dare to resist even if he had ten times the courage.

Not to mention her status as the Sixth Princess of the Hong Yuan Empire, the mere fact that she had been accepted as a personal disciple by the dean of the Master Academy made countless people afraid to offend her.

"What's with all this 'I' and 'you'? As a ruler of a nation, not knowing who is in your own imperial capital is a dereliction of duty!" Flicking her jade hand, Princess Fei'er snorted.

"..." Ye Wentian felt as if he had bitten into a bitter gourd.

The entire Huan Yu imperial capital spanned hundreds of kilometers, with a population exceeding a hundred million... Even if I were all-powerful, I couldn't possibly know everyone!

"Alright!" Seeing the awkwardness, Luo Qiqi smiled and stepped forward: "Your Majesty, Fei'er is just like this; don't take it to heart! It's nothing serious, you don't need to bother!"

Then she turned to the girl beside her and transmitted a message: "Didn't you ask Ye Qian to investigate? Once he finds out, I'll help you vent your anger and win it back..."

This Princess Fei'er, though no longer young, still had the temperament of a child, both exasperating and amusing.

Losing a bet and becoming someone's maidservant isn't exactly a glorious thing; why come and berate His Majesty Ye Wentian?

Once it's found out, should he tell or not?

"Fine!"

Hearing her friend's promise, Princess Fei'er felt a bit better, stopped paying attention to the emperor, and lifted her chin: "Let's go, to the banquet!"

"Mm!"

Luo Qiqi and Xing Yuan followed, while Ye Wentian and Wei Jiang exchanged glances, shook their heads, and also followed.

This Sixth Princess was notoriously eccentric; fortunately, his son Ye Qian hadn't thought of pursuing her, or he would surely have ended up in a miserable state. Not to mention other things, just look at Xing Yuan, who chased her day after day—after all these years, hadn't he received not a single kind look?

...

As they headed toward the banquet, the guard at the gate slipped inside, hurried to the hall, and whispered something in Ye Qian's ear.

"Father and Master Wei have arrived? And the Sixth Princess too... How did they end up together?"

Ye Qian was startled, quickly stood up, and looked around: "Everyone, the Sixth Princess, my father, and Master Wei will be here shortly; let us rise to welcome them!"

"The Sixth Princess is coming?"

"I didn't expect Master Wei and His Majesty to come too; hurry!"

Hearing that the Sixth Princess of the Hong Yuan Empire, Master Wei, and others were about to arrive, everyone stopped and stood up in unison.

Zhang Xuan also stood up with the rest and looked outside, indeed seeing several people approaching.

The foremost was a woman in a purple long dress, her graceful figure perfectly outlined, with skin so delicate it seemed it might break at a touch—indescribably beautiful.

"Is this the Sixth Princess?"

"So beautiful!"

"I feel like I'm falling in love with her; what should I do..."

"Falling in love with her? Look at yourself, your face swollen like a pig's head; the Sixth Princess would be lucky not to throw up at the sight of you!"

"Don't talk about me; you're not much better, your nose black like a bear's..."

Seeing the woman at the front, all the masters in the room had shining eyes.

This Sixth Princess was like a fairy stepping out of a painting, stirring countless young men with excitement.

However, among the young men present, except for the Crown Prince, Luo Xuan, and a few others, all had been beaten by Zhang Xuan until their faces were like pig's heads. A group of people with bruised and swollen faces standing up, eyes gleaming, evoked not beauty but horror.

"Sixth Miss? Sixth Princess?"

Zhang Xuan was also startled.

He had wondered who the Sixth Princess might be; he hadn't expected it to be the Sixth Miss he had met at the Rare Treasures Pavilion.

No wonder she could casually produce several hundred mid-grade spirit stones...

As he was astonished, the Sixth Princess and her party entered the room and saw the crowd before them, all covered in injuries, faces red and swollen... They too were utterly bewildered.

A masters' banquet—wasn't it supposed to be elegant, dignified, full of grace and poise?

How did everyone look like they had just run out of a slaughterhouse?

His face was swollen and red, his eyes drooping, and several arms were hanging in front of his chest... What was going on?

Even the five-star masters seated there all looked like pig heads?

"Sixth Miss, it's him..."

Just as she was puzzled, Fei'er Princess heard Xing Yuan's voice in her ear. Frowning, she followed his pointing finger and immediately staggered.

There, the guy who had nearly driven her mad with anger at the Qizhen Pavilion was also present, holding a wine glass, looking refreshed and indescribably content.

"Qiqi, it's that idiot..."

Gritting her silver teeth, Fei'er Princess turned to tell her best friend, but as she turned her face, she couldn't help but widen her eyes.

She saw that her usually aloof, unflappable friend was now also excited, eyes shining, as if she had stumbled upon a huge treasure.

Fei'er Princess was stunned.

Could it be that her best friend had a peculiar fetish for men beaten into pig heads?

"It's him..."

Just as she was bewildered, she saw Luo Qiqi pointing at the young man.

"This... Qiqi, he's my enemy. You... don't have to be so excited!"

Realizing that her friend wasn't reacting to those people, Fei'er Princess was even more speechless.

This guy forced me to become his maidservant. Even if someone should be angry or excited, it should be me. What are you so excited about?

Full of doubt, just about to speak, she saw her close friend quickly rush toward that detestable fellow.

"Qiqi, even if you want to teach him a lesson for me, you need to mind the occasion..."

Princess Fei'er nearly fainted on the spot.

Qiqi, this best friend, had always been very steady—first she got excited, and now why was she so reckless?

With so many renowned teachers and so many people here, if she went over and taught him a lesson without a word, wouldn't the fact that I am his maidservant be exposed immediately?

She reached out to stop her, but saw her best friend had already arrived before that annoying fellow, cupping her fists and bowing respectfully: "Disciple Qiqi pays respects to Teacher Zhang!"

"Huh?"

The words Princess Fei'er wanted to say stuck in her throat, her eyes wide.

What's going on?

Weren't you going to teach him a lesson for me?

Disciple... Teacher Zhang?

Could it be... this annoying fellow is the one you mentioned before... that magnanimous young talent, erudite and admirable person?

Isn't he utterly shameless? How did he become so lofty in your words?

Do you have to be such a letdown?

Her face twitched, and Princess Fei'er nearly burst into tears.

She had thought to have this good friend, when encountering that fellow, give him a good lesson and make him know his place. Who knew that as soon as they met, before a word was even spoken, she had already defected...

This defection was too lacking in integrity, too fast!

Her eyes widened, and the others were even more petrified.

"Together with the Sixth Princess, that should be... Luo Qiqi, Teacher Luo!"

"The famous ice beauty of the prestigious academy, the cold-faced genius, is... Teacher Zhang's student?"

"What's going on?"

...

Luo Qiqi's reputation was known to Luo Zhao and the others who had arrived early.

She was very beautiful, but very cold, unwilling to communicate with others... now, with a face full of excitement, she directly bowed to someone younger than her, calling her teacher...

Was this not too exaggerated?

"..."

Wu Zhen and Xing Yuan on the side twitched their mouths.

Speaking of familiarity, the two of them knew more about this Luo Qiqi than others.

The most famous genius of the Dan Academy of Hongyuan Prestigious Academy, with cultivation much higher than theirs, ranked in the top few of the second year, and had a much greater reputation in the academy than even the Sixth Princess.

Such a proud, phoenix-like figure, acknowledging Teacher Zhang as her teacher...

Who can tell me if I saw wrong, or if it's fake?

"Oh, it's you, Xiao Qi! What are you doing here?"

Seeing this Xiao Qi, Zhang Xuan was also startled.

Wasn't this girl at the Alchemist Guild?

He was puzzled for a moment, then suddenly understood.

Right, a renowned teacher, from the Hongyuan Empire... probably came with Wu Zhen and the Sixth Princess. It was these people who took the spots that originally belonged to them, making him work so hard.

"Xiao Qi?"

Clang!

The wine glass in Wu Zhen's hand slipped and fell to the ground.

Xing Yuan and the Sixth Princess also went weak in the legs, nearly collapsing.

"I came with a friend, Teacher. This is my friend, the Sixth Princess of the Hongyuan Empire, Yu Fei'er!"

Luo Qiqi nodded and quickly introduced her best friend to her teacher.

"Mm, I see!"

Zhang Xuan nodded: "Oh, so you're Yu Fei'er... What are you standing there dumbfounded for? Come over and pour the wine!"

"Master Zhang, this is Her Highness the Sixth Princess..." Ye Qian stumbled, nearly falling.

Ye Wentian's vision also went dark.

Even he was so terrified before the Sixth Princess that he didn't dare breathe loudly, and you, a four-star renowned teacher, are putting on airs...
