”If they are that close, back at the banquet at the Crown Prince's Residence, why had even Lei Yuan shown up but he did not?” Fan Zhuo asked, his brow raised.

Fei Yan shrugged his shoulders, indicating he did not know.

”But among the four princes, the one most favoured by the Emperor is the Fourth Prince. But he is still very young and is only fourteen years old.” Fei Yan quipped.

”Fourteen.” Jun Wu Xie narrowed her eyes. Compared to the other three princes, he was a bit younger. But….. Lei Fan's age had caused Jun Wu Xie to take note of something. She thought about it for awhile but did not talk about that but only said: ”It does not matter who is going against Lei Chen. But if that person is using me to discredit Lei Chen, in order to not drag the Zephyr Academy's name into it, our plans will need some adjustments made to it.”

They had participated in the Spirit Battle Tournament so that the reputation of the Zephyr Academy could be restored. But if these rumours were to continue to spread, the Zephyr Academy's name would not only not reinstate to its former glory, it could very well become indelibly tarnished.

”You already have something in mind?” Fan Zhuo asked Jun Wu Xie, his brow raised.

Jun Wu Xie replied: ”In order not to affect the Zephyr Academy's name, we can only draw our lines clearly with Lei Chen. No matter who is scheming against him, we must not allow the Zephyr Academy to be dragged in. So, we must act before that happens.”

She had initially intended to use their relationship with Lei Chen to retrieve the map after the Spirit Battle Tournament concluded. But with the way things stood at that moment, the plans would have to change.

”If we kick up a ruckus, would it draw the people from the Middle Realm here?” Rong Ruo asked.

If Lei Chen asked the people of the Middle Realm to interfere, the companions would not be able to even continue to take part in the Spirit Battle Tournament.

Jun Wu Xie was shaking her head instead.

”We will only need to find the location of the map and have Fei Yan duplicate a copy of it.” Although it would be good to have the original copy, but in the current circumstances, they needed to just take whatever they could.

Jun Wu Xie wanted both the map and to help the Zephyr Academy to restore its name, and she was not willing to relinquish either one.
