Xuanyuan Po was participating in the Heavenly Selection ceremony? He had won nine matches in a row? He was going to enter the Celestial Tree tomorrow to receive the baptism of the Wildfire and the trial of the ancestral spirit?
Luoluo was so shocked at this news that she spent quite some time in a daze.
She took a silk towel from Guardian Li and wiped off the tea, but she failed to unfurrow her brows.
She knew that the moment the news of the Heavenly Selection ceremony was spread, Xuanyuan Po would assuredly do something. Thus, she had dispatched people to keep a watch on him, but seeing as he had not done anything in the last two days, she thought that there was nothing she needed to worry about. How could she have expected Xuanyuan Po to register for the Heavenly Selection himself!
She could not understand why Xuanyuan Po had participated in the Heavenly Selection ceremony.
It was more in line with his personality to take up a kitchen knife and charge into the Imperial Palace to try and save her.
”Just what is this fool trying to do?”
Guardian Li gazed at Luoluo's furrowed brows and internally sighed in deep concern.
She thought of a possibility, but it was truly a difficult one to accept.
Xuanyuan Po loved the princess?
But the princess loved the Pope.
How could all the people of the Orthodox Academy be like this?
……
……
Upon learning of Xuanyuan Po's identity and background, countless people stared at him.
The sumptuously dressed denizens of the upper city and the aloof young ladies looked with mouths agape, so astonished that they didn't know what to say. As for the lower city crowd that had followed Xuanyuan Po, they had already known some things, but after having it all confirmed, they found it impossible to suppress their excitement.
On the other hand, the high official supervising the Heavenly Selection had an extremely unsightly expression. He looked at Xuanyuan Po's face which, though bewhiskered, still had a childish air. His voice was slightly cold as he said, ”Why have you participated in the Heavenly Selection ceremony?”
Logically speaking, there was no meaning to this question and it was not necessary to ask. Everyone knew of the benefits one could gain through the Heavenly Selection, or else there would have been no reason for the young experts of the demi-human tribes to so quickly rush to White Emperor City.
But since it was Xuanyuan Po, this question had a deep significance, with an answer that everyone wanted to know.
Because if the rumor was true, Xuanyuan Po was not only a student of the Orthodox Academy, but also Princess Luoluo's student.
”Do you also intend to marry Her Highness?”
The high official stared into Xuanyuan Po's eyes and thundered, his voice filled with rage and disgust. ”Do not forget that though there are no official records, everyone knows that you acknowledged Her Highness as teacher in the Orthodox Academy!”
For a teacher and student to ultimately become companions was not unheard of on the continent, but it was nothing worth celebrating.
And for the student to think this way was especially improper.
Xuanyuan Po replied, ”To become Her Highness's student is my greatest honor. Whether or not Her Highness is willing to admit it, I will always be her student.”
The high official was even more incensed, coldly rebuking, ”Then why are you still participating in the Heavenly Selection! Do you want to humiliate Her Highness?”
Xuanyuan Po answered, ”I've never thought about marrying Her Highness, so how is this a humiliation?”
The high official asked, ”This being the case, why did you come here?”
Xuanyuan Po pondered this question and answered, ”I came to make trouble.”
His expression was sincere, his tone firm.
He was like a muddy monkey that had just clambered out of a rice paddy, a mischievous brat that had jumped down from a tree into a lake, but he spoke like an old scholar.
The high official didn't dare believe his ears. ”What do you want to do?”
Xuanyuan Po explained, ”By making trouble, what I want to do is make it impossible for the Heavenly Selection ceremony to smoothly proceed.”
The official vaguely understood what he was getting at. ”You do not want Her Highness to be married off?”
”Correct.” Xuanyuan Po turned to look at the distant Xiaode, Second Prince, and the other candidates, and then he looked even higher to the Imperial City. He resolutely declared, ”No one should think about marrying Her Highness, because I will not let you win.”
