Chapter 535: Chu Pengfei!
“!!! She... She really crippled Mu Bailing?”
“Moreover, she even said that she is not afraid of Mu Xueying!”
The crowd exclaimed and hurriedly retreated a few feet away from Lou Qianxue.
“This new student is really too arrogant. She even belittles Mu Xueying, who’s ranked tenth in our Hall of Fame.”
“Even if she’s an impressive alchemist, she has just started studying at the Imperial academy. Yet, she’s so unrestrained and wild. Isn’t she afraid of getting into trouble?”
“I heard that Mu Bailing is the daughter of the lord of Bailing Prefecture! Bailing Prefecture is one of the ten biggest prefectures in our Tian Zhao.”
“Quickly leave. Let’s leave now. We must not let Senior Brother Mu Xueying know that we were present here. ”
The crowd dispersed in the blink of an eye.
“That Mu Xueying...” Lou Qianxue doubtfully looked at Lou Xiaoxiao. “Is he powerful?”
“It’s alright. Senior Brother An is ranked fifth in the Hall of Fame. Why would we be afraid of that number ten?” Lou Xiaoxiao patted her shoulder. “Let’s ignore them. Go, I’ll send you to the academy.”
“Qianxue.” She had just entered the classroom when a loud and familiar voice greeted them.
“Here.”
The man waved his hand.
“Hong Qinghe.” Lou Qianxue walked over. “You came early.”
“This is nothing. Qianxue, did you go and treat Zhen Guogong?”
“... Even you know about it?”
“Haha, who in the whole Imperial city doesn’t know this? You have to know that Zhen Guogong is our Tian Zhao’s ‘God of War’! Now that you’ve cured him, I wonder how many people in Tian Zhao will lose their sleep due to the happiness! I reckon that the whole empire is talking about you now...”
“...” Lou Qianxue looked around at the groups of students who had gathered to talk. She took a breath and said, “Luckily they’re still unaware.”
However...
At the next moment...
“Big Sister Qianxue!” A rough voice suddenly rang in the classroom.
“Big Sister Qianxue, Lou Qianxue! I heard that you fought with someone just now... Um.” The moment this tall and good-looking young man entered the classroom, the other students looked at him with strange gazes.
It hit Chu Pengfei’s raw nerve, and he could not help himself from lowering his voice. “Fought...”
As he spoke, his gaze swept past Lou Qianxue, and he immediately went back to his usual self. With big steps, he walked toward Lou Qianxue. “Big Sister Qianxue? Is what they said true? You fought with someone? You’re such a delicate girl. How can you fight? Leave such matters to me from now on! Anyway, I’ll closely protect you—”
“Why are you here?” Lou Qianxue stretched her hand out to cover her forehead.
“Um—” Hong Qinghe strangely looked at Chu Pengfei. “This person is?”
“He? I reckon he’s the Second Young Master from Zhen Guogong’s mansion... ”
“!!!”
Gasps instantly rang in the entire classroom.
At the next moment.
The whole classroom became extremely quiet. Even the sound of a needle dropping could be heard.
All the students pricked their ears and carefully listened to the conversation.
“Second Young Master from Zhen Guogong’s mansion!”
Gulp!
Gulp!
The sound of gulps filled the entire classroom.
Hong Qinghe’s expression instantly turned solemn. “So you’re that Second Young Master! I heard that you followed Master Guogong to fight battles since you were nine years old. You were his foot soldier. Both you and Master were known as the two heroes. You two protected Tian Zhao and guarded the frontier. The enemies trembled whenever they heard of you. I admire you!”
Hong Qinghe got up and respectfully bowed at Chu Pengfei.
Chu Pengfei’s expression became serious, and he nodded. “Protecting Tian Zhao and guarding the frontier is what all men in Tian Zhao Empire should do. If I can do it, you can too.”
“Yeah!” Hong Qinghe’s eyes flickered. “I heard that the Imperial academy selects a batch of students to go to the border for training every year! And being a soldier is what I want! Hence, I’ll definitely strive for it!”
