“Ruoxue, you’re here.” Lin Liang was stunned for a moment when he saw them, but he quickly reacted.

“Grandpa Lin, we’ve come to report.”

“Yes, just in time,” Lin Liang said.

“Grandpa Lin, I will participate in this Academy Competition on behalf of my big brother. But you’d better pretend that you don’t know what I want to do,” Leng Ruoxue said bluntly. She didn’t intend to hide what she wanted to do from the principal because she still needed his cooperation if necessary.

“I really don’t know anything,” Lin Liang said with a wry smile. This girl isn’t afraid that I’ll stop her at all and actually told me about it directly. But he wouldn’t stop her even if he knew what she wanted to do. It was something he wanted to do but found inconvenient to do, so it was basically the same if this girl did it instead.

“Xue’er thanks Grandpa Lin in advance.”

“You don’t have to be polite with me. I am Ruohan’s master, but this is all I can do for Ruohan,” Lin Liang said helplessly.

“Grandpa Lin, I want the names of those people,” Leng Ruoxue said.

“It’s all here.” Lin Liang took out a piece of paper from his drawer and handed it to Leng Ruoxue. He had prepared everything.

Leng Ruoxue took the piece of paper and glanced at it casually. Not only were there names, but he had also labeled their families and even their status in their families.

“Thank you, Grandpa Lin,” Leng Ruoxue thanked Lin Liang sincerely. This list saved her a lot of time.

…

“Xue’er, what are you thinking about?” Ye Chen asked. Xue’er had been silent since she obtained the name list.

“I’m thinking about my big brother.”

“Is there still no news about the essence restoration grass?” Ye Chen asked. In fact, he had been helping out, but he had no leads at all.

“No, but I’m not thinking about the essence restoration grass.”

“Then what are you thinking about?”

“I’m thinking that it’s not a big deal even if some students were injured during the training exercise. Why should they blame Big Brother? Grandpa is very protective of his loved ones. What benefits will this bring to them?” Leng Ruoxue said. In fact, she had been thinking about this for a long time, but she kept feeling that she seemed to have overlooked something.

“I’m not sure what benefits they will get, but I know that Principal Lin is in a very passive position because of it,” Ye Chen said. Anyone with eyes could tell that this was absolutely the result of people adding fuel to the fire.

“Isn’t it an overreaction even if this matter is aimed at the principal?” Leng Ruoxue said after some thought. Grandpa Lin is a Spiritual Supremacy, so his position in the Heavenly Phoenix Academy isn’t easily shaken. Moreover, Big brother was the one who suffered the most in this incident.

Wait? Why didn’t I realize it sooner!

“Their main target is my Grandpa. Grandpa Lin is just collateral damage,” Leng Ruoxue said with certainty after thinking it through.

“What do you mean?”

“This incident injured the number one genius of the academy so severely. What do you think the consequences will be for the teachers leading the team? Moreover, this student is the grandson of General Leng and the disciple of the principal. What do you think they will do?” Leng Ruoxue asked in return.

“The teachers were afraid that General Leng would seek revenge, so they naturally wanted to shrink responsibility. But as far as I know, those two teachers come from small families. But several of the students on that training exercise are nobles, and there was even a member of the imperial family. I’m afraid they don’t have the ability to make all the students perjure themselves,” Ye Chen analyzed.

“Just because they don’t have the ability doesn’t mean others don’t,” Leng Ruoxue said coldly. She had already vaguely guessed what was going on.

The two of them walked on the academy plaza while chatting.

“Xue’er, shall we go to the library to take a look?” Ye Chen suggested. They didn’t have to attend classes on time like other students here, and the people they were looking for weren’t in the academy now. It was said that almost all of them were recuperating at home and would only return to the academy in a few days.

“Okay.” She had always wanted to go to the library.

They went directly to the top floor of the library with the access given to them through the academy’s golden badges. The books on the top floor were the essence of the entire Heavenly Phoenix Academy. Not just anyone could enter this place, but they were not aware of the regulations here.

…

After staying on the top floor of the library for a few days, Leng Ruoxue almost finished reading all the books here. There was really nothing else to read, so she left. Ye Chen left two days ago for some reason.

“Senior Brother Feng, I like you.”

Leng Ruoxue happened to hear a very gentle female voice when she passed by a small forest outside the library.

She unintentionally looked up and found the woman somewhat familiar. Huh, it’s… Fu Mingzhu? Such a coincidence. I happen to be looking for her.

She then looked at the man Fu Mingzhu confessed her love to. Yes, he was indeed handsome and extraordinary with a noble temperament. He should be slightly younger than her brother. Even though he was not as handsome as her brother, he was still a rare beauty.

Seemingly aware that someone was looking at him, the man raised his head and happened to see Leng Ruoxue. He couldn’t help being stunned, his eyes showing his amazement.

Fu Mingzhu was the biggest suspect in causing her brother’s injury because there were only two girls on the training team that day. One of them was called Mo Li, and the other was Fu Mingzhu. So one of them must have annoyed the fire rhinoceros group and even pushed the blame onto her brother. This Fu Mingzhu pestered her brother unceasingly before he was injured, annoying him quite a bit. But she immediately changed her target now that her brother was in trouble. Hmph, dream on. You won’t have your way. With this thought in mind, Leng Ruoxue walked straight over, her eyes full of ice.

She had been in the academy for a few days but had yet to have the chance to exercise.

Sensing something amiss with Feng Aoran’s gaze, Fu Mingzhu turned her head, only to see the damn woman she was jealous of and hated. Even though she had only seen this woman once, she remembered her appearance very clearly.

Leng Ruoxue saw the jealousy and hatred in Fu Mingzhu’s eyes and couldn’t help finding it funny. People who didn’t know better would think that they had a feud.
