“The capital in the summer, was a place where people can easily die….The flood period is very hard to be certain, but what can be certain is, the rivers in the capital will definitely rise in level. When the river level rises, it will wash away both floating corpses and ashes.”
Xu Shi Ji spoke through the carriage window coldly.
“For example, Professor Cao from Heavenly Academy. After tonight, perhaps he will become a floating corpse thousands miles away from the capital, or perhaps he will become food for the kois in the River Luo. All in all, no one will see him again.”
After hearing this, Chen Chang Sheng shockingly raised his head and looked towards the window. He didn’t understand why the professor from the Heavenly Academy was going to die.
“After all, that little monster is one of the Family of Tian Hai…… no matter how the situation turns out, the professor still acted out on his own accord, and the queen will be unhappy. If the queen gets angry, then Sir Zhou Tong will be very mad. If Sir Zhou Tong is furious….then he will face something worse than death.”
“Therefore, the professor will commit suicide tonight.”
“Sure, I regretted not killing you from the beginning and now it’s difficult for me to react. I must remind you though, that there are many ways of surviving that are more terrifying than death in this world. The professor understood this, and I hope you will too.”
The lamps waved back and forth lightly and the light dimmed a little. Dozens of guards appeared from the darkness and circled around the carriage as it traveled slowly past the street and towards the Dong Yu General’s Mansion. The tall battle horse peeked indifferently at Chen Chang Sheng right before it left.
Xu Shi Ji was silent in the carriage and gloomy fire was burning in the depths of his pupils. It was not violent but rather cold. He noticed that some stuff was getting out of his control. Because of the letter sent from Mountain Virgin, he never really got to control the situation, but now it got even more strange.
He knew clearly why Chen Chang Sheng entered the Tradition Academy. He first thought that there was nothing much about this event, but now even if this was true, some people are trying to use this fact to start trouble. The people who were still loyal to the Royal Chen Family in the Tradition seemed to finally obtain a chance to overturn after all these years. How would this situation affect the Dong Yu General’s Mansion?
This thing was way too big, even if he was the most trusted General of the Divine Queen, he dared not step his foot into this pool. The only thing he knew was that if Chen Chang Sheng actually got pulled into that pool of dirty water, then no one could know about this marriage vow. At least it should be hidden for a few more days.
After these few more days, the southern powers would sent a representative group to the capital. The few dozens of students entering the Great Trial from the south are also in this group. Because of this, the next two nights of this year’s Ivy Festival would be delayed.
There was still a while for the Great Trial to come. The southerners broke the usual tradition and arrived at the capital few months early. This action started some suspicion and debate, but Xu Shi Ji knew clearly that the Divine Queen welcomed the arrival of this representative group.
Only a few people in the entire continent knew that the reason for the early arrival of the southern representative group was that they were preparing to propose on the Valentine’s Day.
Xu Shi Ji knew this because the southern representative was about to propose to his daughter.
He wouldn’t allow anyone or anything to interrupt this marriage.
Not Chen Chang Sheng, not that mysterious young girl, not anyone.
He didn’t care about the Tradition Academy, Heavenly Academy, or the old royal family and the darkness in the capital. He didn’t care about twists and plots. If anyone tried to interrupt this marriage, then he was not afraid to kill, even if they were people who shouldn’t be killed.
Since he had a good daughter, then nothing he did would harm him as long as he didn’t betray the Divine Queen.
Of course, if there were better ways to solve those unpredictable variables, such as Chen Chang Sheng and that young girl, then it would be nice. But first, he had to determine some things and ask some people to prepare.
“To the Orange Garden.” He said.
The carriage of the Dong Yu General’s Mansion moved slowly on the street and disregarded the strict curfew of the capital and rode towards the royal palace.
The Orange Garden is a garden not too far away from the royal palace. Although its acres of land wasn’t huge, many orange trees were planted there.
To be able to have a garden around the royal palace and plant the expensive orange trees, the owner couldn’t be an ordinary person.
