Chapter 39 – From the Herb Garden to the Tradition Academy (1/2)
Luo Luo returned to the Herb Garden and her people instantly knew that she was in a good mood because she hopped all the way from the school to the garden. Her quick steps were like stepping on clouds and she was humming a small tune. Her clear voice was like nightingale and her eyebrows were flying.
Officer Jin and Officer Li looked at each other and quickly followed up. They obviously knew the reason for their princess’s happy mood, but they couldn’t see what happened in the library, therefore they were a bit confused. Why was she so happy about having a master? What was the youngster in the Tradition Academy so good at?
Luo Luo simply cleaned and washed herself up and changed into a clean dress. She took the ice tea from a maid’s hands and took a sip then walked to the living room. She looked at her two guards and said, “Ask what you need to ask because I need to sleep early today. I will wake up early tomorrow morning for school and I don’t want to be late.”
Officer Jin thought to himself, when did our princess became so focused on learning? Of course he didn’t say this out loud. “It’s fine to be a little late. Does that youngster dare to harm you, princess?”
“He is my master, stop calling him a youngster over and over again. From now on…..you guys will call him Sir Chen.”
Luo Luo thought about her master’s serious attitude toward xiu xing and learning and his strict passion towards time. She looked at the two officers and said pitifully, “If I am late for the early classes, my teacher will get mad. I don’t want to be whipped tomorrow.”
Officer Jin was stunned after hearing this. He couldn’t believe what his own ears had heard. That youngster dare to whip his princess??!! If this was known by the people of the Red River of Eight Hundred Miles, then the entire capital would be burnt down!
He was ready to complain harshly about Chen Chang Sheng, but he felt Officer Li faintly pulled his sleeves. Then he noticed that his princess wasn’t unhappy about her teacher and she acted out her pitiful appearance. She was actually excited and joyful!.
Officer Jin was completely lost. He couldn’t understand what happened these few days. He didn’t understand how that youngster named Chen Chang Sheng….. okay, that Sir Chen. What quality did he possess besides bravery and sympathy? What kind of skill did he have that the princess respected him for?
“My teacher is no ordinary person.”
Luo Luo obviously knew what her people were thinking. She saw the confused look on Officer Jin and the worrying expression on Officer Li before she explained.
Officer Jin didn’t speak, but Officer Li couldn’t help but whisper, “He didn’t even reach Purification……could he be even more ordinary?”
Luo Luo said, “Do you guys think that an ordinary person that couldn’t reach Purification could solve a problem that even my father couldn’t?”
Officer Jin hesitated and said, “Perhaps…. it’s all luck?”
Luo Luo thought back to her experience from the evening and said proudly, “No, what my teacher doesn’t need the most is luck.”
(Bingo- GG thats what he needs the most now lmao)
Officer Li asked confusingly, “Then……if this Sir Chen is no ordinary person, then why did he enter the Tradition Academy? What is he hiding?”
“Silently learning and xiu xing, not showing himself nor advertising his names. He only wanted to be the unknown fish in the pound and wait patiently. Wait for the day when the storm arrives and that fish will jump over the Gate of Dragon and transform into a true Dragon. He will glance over the entire continent and his name will be heard all over the world…..”
Luo Luo’s eyes turned brighter and her voice louder. “Teacher’s idea is excellent!”
Officer Jin couldn’t help but laugh. He thought to himself, ‘This is the real world and these fantasies have no place in it.’ Although the princess seemed all grown up, she was actually still a kid.
Next morning, Luo Luo woke up on time – of course. If she followed her regular schedule, the sleepy girl definitely couldn’t get up. Her maids followed her instructions and started ringing the bell from four thirty in the morning. She would wake up even if she didn’t want to.
Luo Luo put a shirt on and rubbed her eyes while opening the door. She whispered angrily, “It’s too loud!”
The maids forcefully suppressed their fear and insecurity and continued ringing the bell. Their faces were already pale and aftering hearing their princess getting angry, they kneeled quickly in fear of punishment.
“I was just saying.”
Luo Luo yawned and told them to get up, “You guys shouldn’t be punished but rather rewarded. Go to Officer Li later and get some money for reward……Just like we said last night, if you guys can wake me up before five o’clock you will be rewarded. If I didn’t wake up, then your salaries this month will be gone!”
The maids looked at each other and knew their princess wasn’t actually angry. They stood up and quickly moved all sorts of tools and started clearing the princess up. Then a servant got dozens of dresses and asked which one would the princess like to wear.
Luo Luo picked out the simplest and cleanest dress before she casually ate a bowl of gruel and a piece of meat cake. Afterwards she opened the lunch box on the table and checked carefully, then nodded her head in approval. She picked it up and started walking to the wall.
Pushing open that new wooden wall, she arrived at the Tradition Academy from the Herb Garden.
There was no wooden barrel or a showering youngster on the other side of the wall. The previous experience left a deep scar in Chen Chang Sheng’s memory and the first he did after dinner was to push the wooden barrel into the small building. At the same time he didn’t forget to lock the small building up and add curtains to the windows of the bathroom.
The Tradition Academy was silently going through changes because Chen Chang Sheng didn’t live here alone anymore.
The Tradition Academy now has two students.
