There was a gust of cold wind, and the Xuanyuan family seemed to freeze on the spot. They stood there, as motionless as sculptures.

“Go away!”

Jun Linyuan bellowed. The next moment, the members of the Xuanyuan family were all thrown out of Imperial College!

The crowd was speechless.

They knew that the Xuanyuan family was doomed.

Xuanyuan Kun, the backbone of the Xuanyuan family, was dead.

So was Xuanyuan Yi, the most promising youth of the family.

Instantly, everyone gave the teenage girl, who was covered in blood, strange looks.

Blood covered her from head to toe, and even her thin lips seemed to be bleeding. Standing there on bare feet in a pool of blood, she looked like a tender flower bud growing out of blood. She stood proudly in the wind, looking fragile but unrestrained.

“Thump —”

After winning the duel, Feng Wu felt completely drained. She felt like an empty hole.

The next moment, she felt backward without warning.

“Xiao Wu —”

Chaoge and Qiuling ran toward Feng Wu, ready to catch her.

However, one person moved faster than either of them, and that man was —

“His Royal Highness?!”

Everyone watched this in astonishment.

The breathtakingly beautiful crown prince moved so fast that it almost seemed inconceivable.

He pulled Feng Wu into his arms before anyone else could get to her.

Into his arms?

What Jun Linyuan did practically frightened the audience to death.

Especially the empress dowager!

The crowd watched with their mouths wide open.

Empress Dugu and Jun Wuxia were so shocked that their jaws went slack.

The empress dowager was the most shocked of them all.

Her eyes opened so wide that they almost popped out.

“Wh- what’s going on?” She looked baffled.

Lady Northern Feng and Feng Xun were the most unperturbed of all of them.

Because they knew all along how Jun Linyuan felt about Feng Wu.

Taking Lady Northern Feng’s hand, the empress dowager stared at the stage with trembling lips. “Yaya, tell me, what’s going on?”

Lady Northern Feng had no choice but to feign a bewildered tone. “I think His Royal Highness is just being nice.”

Nice?

Jun Linyuan wasn’t capable of “being nice.”

However, at that moment, Jun Linyuan picked Feng Wu up in both arms. She had fainted from exhaustion, and he carried her off.

He was gone…

Those who were left behind stared at each other in bewilderment.

The crowd was speechless.

“What did I just see?”

“Did His Royal Highness carry Feng Wu away?”

“Why would His Royal Highness do that?”

“What’s Feng Wu to His Royal Highness?”

–

It couldn’t be any more obvious, but no one wanted to admit the truth!

Because if it was true, a lot of girls would be so devastated that they might kill themselves.

At that thought, many turned to the empress dowager with pleading looks on their faces.

The empress dowager was as baffled as they were. More than that, however, she was furious!

“That’s impossible!” The old lady smacked the table. “The crown prince would never like a girl like that! This has to be a mistake!”

She added, “Even if the crown prince really is in love with her, I’ll never let it happen!”

Hearing that, many people heaved sighs of relief…
