In today's feast, the principal guest was Luoluo, but in order for her to have a reason to leave the Imperial Palace, several additional guests had also been invited. These included Prince Chen Liu, Mao Qiuyu, and Priest Xin. When drafting the list, Chen Changsheng did not pay any attention to such questions as differences in status or sensitivity of identity. He had just wanted to take the opportunity to also thank those people that had once helped the Orthodox Academy. Prince Chen Liu had come, Mao Qiuyu had not. Priest Xin had come, but upon seeing the other guests and thinking of his own status, dropped off a gift and left first, receiving both Tang Thirty-Six's praise and Xuanyuan Po's incomprehension.

An array of culinary delicacies, plum wine, the lake breeze, and youths.

Prince Chen Liu was the person who was least acquainted with the rest of the group, but he lived up to his reputation as the sole representative of the Imperial clan able to persist in the capital, the sole junior able to be admired by the Divine Empress. His way of speaking was naturally warm and natural, and it was not long before he and Chen Changsheng had warmed up to each other. After the final dish had been served, he thought of the rumors he had heard on the way here and asked in an uncertain tone:

”Is that matter true?”

Luoluo asked curiously, ”What matter?”

Prince Chen Liu described the incident in Clear Lake Restaurant and even mentioned what had happened afterwards.

Chen Changsheng saw that he could no longer conceal it. Indicating that Tang Thirty-Six should take out those letters of challenge, he said, ”I just feel like this is all a children's game.”

Prince Chen Liu glanced at the stack of letters and shook his head. ”The little games played by the powerful often have a deeper meaning. Is there anything that I can help you with?”

Chen Changsheng thought it over, then replied, ”In the end, this is a matter concerning the Orthodox Academy, so we'll try and handle it ourselves. If we really can't do it, then we might as well go to the Li Palace and request His Holiness for assistance.”

Luoluo glanced at Chen Changsheng.

Chen Changsheng used his chopsticks to ferry some pickled tofu and spinach onto her plate.

Luoluo understood. With a soft tone, she whispered a 'thank you Teacher', then lowered her head even further, silently continuing to eat.

”Teacher, why is that after all these things happened at the Orthodox Academy, you still won't tell me about it?”

”Are you still used to living in the Imperial Palace? Ah, I forgot. In the very beginning when you first got to the capital, you lived in the Imperial Palace.”

”Teacher, was that Zhou Ziheng really in the Star Condensation Realm? Teacher, did you really only need one strike to kill him?”

”Now that I think of it, why is it that Guardian Jin never wants to come into the academy? Is it because he doesn't like all the Orthodoxy cavalry outside?”

”Teacher, is that guy Tang Tang really so strong now?”

”What do you think about Prince Chen Liu? I think he's not bad, but you also know, I don't have many friends, nor am I that good at judging others.”
