Chapter 84 – A Full Night Talk (1/2)
The willow trees around River Luo were waving back and forth in the night.
Luo Luo’s eyes widened. She looked at Chen Chang Sheng and said, “I’m very happy to know you as well.”
Tang Thirty Six scratched his head and felt that it was his turn to express his thoughts so he added, “All right, I’m happy to know you guys too.”
Chen Chang Sheng was speaking from his heart. When he decided in the old temple of Xi Ning Village to come to the capital, he never thought he would encounter so much trouble and meet so many people. An ordinary youngster like him became friends with the son of Wei Shui’s Family of Tang, a genius on the Honor Roll of Green Cloud. It was even luckier for him to meet the only daughter of White Emperor, the most noble Yao Princess in the entire continent.
“Don’t think of yourself as an ordinary youngster.”
Tang Thirty Six saw his expression and knew what he was thinking about, “That day when we met during the entrance exam of Heavenly Academy, I was sure that you were not an ordinary person. You are a genius……..how am I so sure that you are a genius? Because a genius like myself want to be friends with you.”
Chen Chang Sheng thought back to the tavern when Tang Thirty Six said some similar things. It may seem like he was complimenting Chen Chang Sheng, but whilst doing so, he was praising himself.
Luo Luo thought what Tang Thirty Six said was logical. She always believed that Chen Chang Sheng was the most talented person in the world.
“Plus you are the fiance of Xu You Rong.”
Tang Thirty Six looked at him and said, “From just this fact, who in this continent would think that you are just an ordinary person?”
Luo Luo clapped and admiration filled her face. “Yes, yes,” she agreed.
Chen Chang Sheng was a little stumped. He looked at Tang Thirty Six and asked, “Why do I feel like this is the most important point you are trying to express?”
“What I am trying to say is that you should tell us about such an important thing next time.”
Tang Thirty Six reached his arm in front of Chen Chang Sheng and said, “Let me see that.”
“See what?” Chen Chang Sheng was confused.
“That marriage vow, of course.”
Tang Thirty Six looked at him as if Chen Chang Sheng was an idiot, “It’s the marriage vow of Xu You Rong!”
After showing the marriage vow in the palace, Chen Chang Sheng had already put the paper back into his pocket. But seeing Tang Thirty Six’s desperate eyes, he couldn’t not let Tang Thirty Six see it. However, he remembered that Xu You Rong’s date of birth was on the marriage vow, so Chen Chang Sheng didn’t open the sheet after taking it out. It was fine to just look at the outside.
Tang Thirty Six was more than satisfied by looking at Xu You Rong’s marriage vow. Even Luo Luo came around and looked at it curiously.
Tang Thirty Six touched the surface of the marriage vow with his hand and sighed, “Well then Xu You Rong…….never thought you would be in this kind of situation right?”
Chen Chang Sheng put the marriage vow back into his pocket and asked confusingly, “What kind of situation?”
Tang Thirty Six answered, “Marriage kind of situation.”
Chen Chang Sheng was still confused, “Isn’t it common for girls to get married?”
Tang Thirty Six said, “A woman like Xu You Rong……always gives off a feeling that she won’t ever marry to anyone.”
Chen Chang Sheng was speechless, but then he remembered that other name constantly mentioned together with Xu You Rong and asked, “What about….Qiu Shan Jun?”
Tang Thirty Six felt that Qiu Shan Jun was boring so he steered the conversion away from him, “We should be happy tonight, why are we mentioning something unhappy?”
Luo Luo asked, “Even if she does marry, why are you happy?”
Tang Thirty said righteously, “I’m happy for the young people who are under her in the Honor Roll of Green Cloud.”
Luo Luo nodded, “You are one of the young people under her.”
Tang Thirty Six was a little embarrassed, “So what? After she gets married, she won’t stay outdoor and fight everyone.”
Luo Luo said, “Why not? Who said that after a girl gets married, she can’t go out anymore? The Divine Queen wouldn’t agree to your opinion.”
“Only one person needs to agree with me.”
Tang Thirty Six glanced at Chen Chang Sheng and said, “Discipline your wife. Don’t let her come out and bother us.”
Chen Chang Sheng smiled but said nothing in return.

It was deep into the night when they returned back to Tradition Academy. Xuan Yuan Po woke up from the noise and opened the door. Under the lamp, the Yao youngster’s right arm was in a cast and his left hand was using a cane. He seemed to be a wounded veteran who returned from the battlefield and may fall at any second.
“Weren’t you healing him before? How come he’s in a worse state now?” Tang Thirty Six was a little surprised and looked at Chen Chang Sheng.
Chen Chang Sheng said, “If you can make him stay in one place for two days and not want to kick rocks and punch trees whenever he sees them, then perhaps his wound will heal more quickly.”
Xuan Yuan Po embarrassingly rubbed his head and said, “I won’t do it again or it would be a waste to skip an event like tonight’s Ivy Festival.”
Jin Yu Lu knew the princess would definitely talk about tonight’s event with Chen Chang Sheng and the other students, so he rode the carriage back to Herb Garden first.
The four walked from the entrance to the library and Xuan Yuan Po asked about the Ivy Festival. Before Luo Luo could say anything, Tang Thirty Six answered, “Yes, we won.”
