33 Side Story:Daily Life of Luo Bao (2/2)
-
”These are the schools that are currently changing their curriculum. These are the schools which have been attacked by demonic beasts. Look how many there are. FIVE! Five schools in this state that have been attacked by demonic beasts. This is unprecedented! Especially since that I personally know members of all of them. I dare say so myself, that all of them have extremely powerful members. They are there as guardians. Yet demonic beasts still entered. This means the times are changing. We can no longer sit still anymore. Being idle means we will die. We must become stronger, fast. At the core of things, we are the future. You have been selected from the whole state to act as the elite. You are the the ones who will lead. You will not be fodder! You will be warriors!”
The teacher cleared his throat and looked at the class.
”And so let us begin our lesson.”

The class ended with Luo Bao sighing as he exited the classroom. The whole lesson was too suffocating for his taste. Finally class is over. I just want some peace and quiet. I wonder how I can make money? Oh! Maybe the library can tell me about this place?
As he entered the library, a student wearing gaudy clothes appeared before him.
”Hey you! Are you Luo Bao?”
Luo Bao frowned as his train of thought broke.
”And you are?”
”I am Mu Shen. I am the fifth prince. Be happy for I want you to be my retinue.”
Luo Bao frowned and refused.
”How about no.”
”Of course you acce...huh? You refuse?”
”Of course.”
”How dare you refuse...My father is the emperor.”
As Mu Shen began to threaten Luo Bao, Luo Bao cut him off immediately.
”So what? You are fifth to the throne. Furthermore, only the emperor can give direct orders. Are you the emperor? I may comply if you can ascend the throne but judging from the look of things, you have close to no chance.”
”Y..You!”
”Or are you thinking of staining your hands with blood and forcing your way onto the throne. You do realize that this is treason. If your family gets a hold of this information, I wonder how it'll go. So to reiterate, I refuse.”
Luo Bao walked off leaving Mu Shen's face red in anger. He was livid. This scene happened in open public with many people crowding around. In fact, Mu Shen gathered more people in the shadows to hype up the moment Luo Bao becomes his retinue. This was public face-slapping. Mu Shen stormed off while muttering under his breath.
” How dare he...LUO BAO! I will make you pay.”
Luo Bao entered the library with a line of followers. Some were happy some were worried.
”Great job Luo Bao! That prick finally had it coming for him.”
”How does it feel to antagonist the royal lineage!”
The librarian walked up and broke the crowd before any ruckus was made.
”Get a move on would you. Luo Bao! I give you access to the quiet rooms.”
Luo Bao entered a room while the librarian was holding back an excited crowd. He found a couch and reclined on it and took out his book. As he read, his mind started to wonder.
”Xin Fan...I wonder if he is going to be okay?”
