“I’m not going. Go if you guys want to! Don’t mention the Crown Prince—I will not go even if it was the King who gave the royal decree! I am not a citizen of the Divine Martial Kingdom. Your Crown Prince’s royal decree cannot restrict me.”

When Su Ruoxue knew of the royal decree, her charming face had this chill as she resolutely rejected.

Qian Wanguan and Zhan Wushuang both smiled bitterly. On strict terms, Su Ruoxue was correct: the Divine Martial Kingdom’s royal decree meant nothing to her. Take going to the imperial capital and meeting with the Crown Princes of the other vassal states for example. If they were to give their royal decree to Qian Wanguan and Zhan Wushuang, they would treat it as a piece of rough paper.

The problem was Xia Wuhui didn’t give the royal decree to Su Ruoxue, but to Zhan Wushuang!

The Zhan Clan might be a great aristocratic clan, but they were still a subject of the kingdom. This Crown Prince’s intelligence, character, and schemes were of top-notch. In the eyes of Zhan Wushuang and Qian Wanguan, he was definitely going to be the next king and would be their lord. Once the lord gave an order, would the servant not do it wholeheartedly? If they were to offend Xia Wuhui, Qian Wanguan and Zhan Wushuang would surely suffer the consequences in the future.

Zhan Wushuang had no choice but to bring out Principal Qi’s personally signed letter and tried to persuade her. He mentioned the Crown Prince’s good character and all sorts of thing, hinting for her to go and casually attend. She could even leave the banquet midway.

Su Ruoxue’s determination was like steel and unshakable, nearly causing Zhan Wushuang and Qian Wanguan’s eyebrows to catch fire. Perhaps they could bring other cadets to attend the Crown Prince’s banquet and inform him that Su Ruoxue was tired from the long journey and was not feeling well. The Crown Prince would definitely remember this debt and might even take out his anger on the two of them.

After persuading for an entire afternoon, they didn’t have any more choice. They respectively went to inform the other cadets and mentors. Everyone didn’t say much, especially Yun Fei who immediately consented. This made Zhan Wushuang, who was already filled with a stomach of anger, even more depressed.

During nightfall, Jiang Yi was still in a deep sleep; and Su Ruoxue stubbornly refused to go. Qian Wang and Zhan Wushuang could only helplessly bring the college’s mentors and cadets to go attend the banquet.

After Su Ruoxue left, she felt bored to be sitting by herself. She paused for a moment before entering Jiang Yi’s room. Looking at this skinny face and miserable look, she had the eyes of heartache. During the afternoon, there were too many people around; and she didn’t dare to reveal her emotions. Right now, with only Jiang Yi around, it was hard for her to control her hidden emotions.

“En?”

After sitting in the room for a while, her nose twitched slightly as she frowned when she smelled the odor coming from Jiang Yi’s body. After looking for a moment, she finally couldn’t bear it and asked a maidservant to bring a pail of warm water. She went into the room to personally wipe Jiang Yi down.

She was still a virgin who had yet to go through those humanly matters. When she took off Jiang Yi’s robes and innerwear—leaving only the underpants, she saw the robust muscles and a face which was soundly asleep. She immediately felt the unbearable shyness, and her body boiled up. She looked away and didn’t dare to continue looking.

Jiang Yi had lost over five kilograms, but the muscles on his body were still firm and excellent. He might have a scraggly beard, but it made his manly charm even more prominent. After Su Ruoxue wiped for a moment, she couldn’t help but turn to take a look. That shy and dainty lady-like posture was extremely captivating.

“Uh?”

Jiang Yi, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly turned his body, startling Su Ruoxue and causing her delicate body to shiver. She quickly turned around and didn’t dare to look. When Jiang Yi turned around, it was just the right moment for her to wipe his back. Su Ruoxue closed her eyes and gently wiped his back.

Who would have thought…?

As she was wiping Jiang Yi’s back, he suddenly turned around. Su Ruoxue’s hand, which was still subconsciously wiping, suddenly wiped a few times on Jiang Yi’s face, waking Jiang Yi up completely.

“En?”

Jiang Yi woke up in a daze and saw a lady sitting in front of him… with his robes taken off. He sat up with a flutter and grabbed on the blanket to cover his body while exclaiming, “You, who are you? What are you trying to do?”

Su Ruoxue turned around and saw Jiang Yi in his state. Her face burned up like fire, feeling shame and anger. She threw the cleaning cloth at Jiang Yi and spoke while infuriated, “What else can I do? Could I possibly r*p… e you?”

Jiang Yi reached out to catch the cloth and was completely awakened. He grinned and said, “Who ask for this silly woman to take off my clothes? And even wipe my face with water? Why wouldn’t I get startled?”

A single ‘silly woman’ caused both their expressions to turn awkward.

Both their minds had this image of the time when they were sprinting in the Mt. Black Clouds while they were riding on the Silver-Moon Demon Wolf, and Su Ruoxue was so shy that she didn’t dare to open her eyes. As though she recalled something, she immediately turned her face away and had this icy cold expression.

“Sigh…”

Jiang Yi recalled of the time when Su Ruoxue returned to the college and seldom came to visit him. Even when he went to see Zhan Wushuang off, he had been looking at her; but she didn’t even offer a glance. He instantly felt his heart sink.

He didn’t know why was Su Ruoxue behaving like this, treating him coldly at times and passionately at other times, but he understood that she wouldn’t behave like this unless she had some troubles that couldn’t be said. He understood Su Ruoxue; she might appear to be unapproachable, but it was just a mask of pretense. At heart, she was a gentle and kind lady that was worth being protected by any man for her entire life.

The two of them remained silent like this. The room didn’t have that charming atmosphere anymore, and only the awkwardness remained.

Jiang Yi didn’t like such an atmosphere. He muttered and suddenly spoke, “Is the sky already dark? I am starving. Where is the bathroom? Help me make something to eat while I go wash myself up.”

“Oh.”

Su Ruoxue snapped out of her thoughts and helped Jiang Yi out. She asked a maidservant to arrange Jiang Yi’s bath and got another maidservant to bring over the robes that Qian Wanguan arranged for this afternoon. She then personally went to the front hall to order a table of delicacies for Jiang Yi and asked them to bring it over.

Sitting in the hall, Su Ruoxue had some hesitation; and there were a few times she wanted to stand up and head back to her own courtyard. She was seemingly afraid to be alone with Jiang Yi—to see his face with that pair of sincere and pure eyes. She felt that she didn’t have any way to pretend in front of him and would involuntarily reveal her true nature.

“Su Ruoxue, you are playing with fire and cannot carry on like this. You are a mentor, and he is your cadet. You are five years of age apart, and you even have a fiancé. How can you be this shameless?” Su Ruoxue murmured quietly and had this expression of shame, but she still couldn’t bring herself to step out.

Shh-shh-shh!

Right at this moment, footsteps could be heard from the outside, and it was obviously two individuals. Su Ruoxue had some suspicions as she went out to take a look. Everyone from the college had already gone to attend the banquet. Could Qian Wanguan and Zhan Wushuang have returned so quickly?

“Eh? Principal Qi!”

When Su Ruoxue saw the approaching person, she was even more doubtful. Wasn’t Principal Qi in the palace? Why had she suddenly returned?”

“Lass!”

Before Principal Qi even came in, she was smiling bitterly at the entrance. “You sure have some honor, huh? The Crown Prince invited you to the banquet, and you aren’t attending? You even made this old woman come personally. You will do it for my sake, right?”

“Huh…”

Su Ruoxue hesitated. She recalled that Principal Qi used to be a citizen of the Divine Martial Kingdom and was related to the royal clan. Since she had come personally, even she disregarded the Crown Prince—she still had to give Principal Qi some regards!

“Oh my!”

A door at the side coincidentally opened. Jiang Yi was dressed neatly as he walked out. His beard was shaved clean, and he looked dashing with that embroidered robes. Especially that thin face which was shaved like a saber, causing Su Ruoxue to stare blankly.

“Is there a big meal to eat?”

Jiang Yi seemed to have heard Principal Qi. When he saw Su Ruoxue’s expression which was at a loss, he grinned and said, “Let’s go then! Mentor Su, don’t worry. With me around, no one can touch you.”

Su Ruoxue stared blankly again. She looked at Jiang Yi then looked at Principal Qi. She gritted her teeth and replied, “Alright then!”
