2676 Little Fourth Duan Refuses
There was another heavy snowfall last night, and the entire Ultramarine Province was blanketed in a blanket of white.
When Vassal Prince Rong pushed open the door and entered, he caught sight of His Highness the Chen Prince standing at the window like a mindless stone statue.
The morning breeze made his loose white clothes billow.
The long, black hair flowing behind his waist seemed to be rippling with water mist.
*Flap, flap, flap.* A thin piece of paper on the ground next to the long window fluttered in the wind.
Vassal Prince Rong’s gaze landed on the paper. He slowly walked over and bent down to pick it up.
There were only several characters on the paper. The strokes penetrated boldly through to the back of the paper like a vigorously swimming dragon.
‘Who said yearning was bitter?’
‘Yearning breaks the heart.’
Vassal Prince Rong put away the piece of paper and coughed lightly.
Duan Yue suddenly returned to the present. He glanced at Vassal Prince Rong’s stoic face out of the corner of his eye and suddenly smiled.
“You walk like a ghost, not making any sound.”
“You were too focused on thinking,” Vassal Prince Rong said nonchalantly.
Duan Yue smiled as he walked to the small table by the window and sat down. He pointed at the seat across from him. “Interested in drinking with me?”
Rong Qing strode up and pulled out a stool to sit on. “You didn’t sleep the whole night?”
Duan Yue’s hand movements paused. “How is that possible.”
Ha! Rong Qing rolled his eyes at him.
This stubborn fella refused to admit it.
He had been standing by the window the entire night. The night dew had soaked his hair!
Rong Qing poured Duan Yue a steaming cup of tea. “I found out.”
“The crown prince of the Divine Province and the crown prince of the Nether Province both received invitation letters.”
Duan Yue looked up at him weirdly. “Is the dean of the Imperial Academy a fool?”
Rong Qing shook his head seriously. “No. The dean has the highest cultivation in his generation of the Yun Clan. He is Venerable Immortal Yun Piaomiao.”
In other words, it was impossible for someone with such high cultivation to be a fool.
Duan Yue looked at him exasperatedly.
“Not going.”
If Qiaoqiao wasn’t going, what was he going for? Not interested!
Rong Qing quickly said, “Your Highness should reconsider.”
“I heard that Crown Prince Rong Li obtained a spot by using all possible means, and he even formed a team.”
“That weakling can still fight his way to first place on the Heavenly Origin Ranking??” Duan Yue remarked incredulously.
“Even though that is impossible, cough, however, obtaining first place on the Earth Origin Ranking will also give a considerable amount of resources. The crown prince actually also… doesn’t want to be outdone by you.”
Duan Yue raised an eyebrow. “Earth Origin Ranking?”
“Just as the Heavenly Origin Ranking is for individual rankings, the Earth Origin Ranking is actually a team ranking.”
Duan Yue nodded in comprehension. “Rong Li formed a team?”
“Mhm.” Rong Qing nodded. “The crown prince has already contacted several senior students from the Imperial Academy. He can form a team after getting admitted.”
“Oh.” Duan Yue pursed his lips uninterestedly. “Then let him go. I don’t want to go to such a boring place as an academy.”
Vassal Prince Rong couldn’t help but feel a headache.
His Majesty had ordered that he must escort His Highness to the academy and fight for first place.
The Three Provinces’ Heavenly Origin Ranking was the focus of their competition every year.
But right now, he didn’t expect the capricious Chen Prince to flat out refuse the academy’s invitation.
