His Highness the Crown Prince Always Wants to Marry Me

Chapter 143: Secret of Her Origin

The lean elderly man smiled faintly, and the pressure quickly dissipated.

“Mm, broke through by chance.”

The elderly man in white rolled his eyes, and the anger in his chest instantly extinguished. He sat back down with a cold snort.

This decrepit old thing had broken through to Spirit Emperor, so what was the point of fighting?

“What’s with that girl just now?” The lean elderly man asked with great interest.

His greatest interest and hobby in his life was to travel around the world and recruit Spiritual Plant Masters with outstanding talents or special abilities into the Holy Academy, and making other academies only able to stare with envy.

The elderly man in white thought a bit, “She’s Yu Jing’s daughter. She’s somewhat talented in plant inscriptions, but she’s more diligent and has perseverance, which is just to my liking.”

Instead of letting this decrepit old thing go investigate himself, it was better to use half-truths and half-lies to make him lose interest.

The lean elderly man was startled and thought deeply, “So she’s Yu Jing’s daughter. I wonder if she will be a case of ‘indigo blue is extracted from the indigo plant but is bluer than the plant it comes from’.”

One could hear the fondness and pity in the lean elderly man’s voice when he mentioned Yu Jing, and he even had a little more expectation for Yu Qing Qian.

“Just what happened to Yu Jing back then? He declined the Holy Academy’s invitation, but you still like him so much?” The elderly man in white originally thought that if he revealed that Yu Qing Qian was Yu Jing’s daughter, this decrepit old thing would lose interest, but he didn’t expect the other party to react like this.

Outsiders only knew that Yu Jing was admitted to the Holy Academy under a special exception, but didn’t register due to being delayed by something. However, few people knew that in fact Yu Jing actually directly declined the admission into the Holy Academy.

“He declined our Holy Academy, but he didn’t go to other academies either. What a pity for him.” The lean elderly man obviously didn’t want to say more and just sighed heavily.

“I heard that he declined the admission to the Holy Academy in order to go save a woman, is that true or not?” The elderly man in white was obviously not ready to let him go so easily and asked, gossipy.

The lean elderly man was silent for a moment, then said: “It’s indeed the case. At the time, the Holy Academy asked him to report within three months, but because he had to go save a woman, and there was a conflict in time, he declined.

“Couldn’t you lot have been more flexible? At the time, Yu Jing’s talent was exceptional. In addition, he gave up such a good opportunity to go save someone, so his character’s definitely good.” The elderly man in white also sighed.

The lean elderly man smiled bitterly: “I also considered letting him come after finishing what he needed to do and bought him an entire year. But when he appeared again, it was already three years later, and he missed the best training period and even caused some trouble, so it was impossible for the Holy Academy to make an exception for him again.”

The Holy Academy could make exceptions for peerless geniuses, but it was impossible to make exceptions for one person again and again. After all, the Holy Academy had its own pride.

“Aye, that’s such a pity.” The elderly man in white thought for a moment and asked: “Is the woman Yu Jing saved that little girl’s mother?”

“Why are you asking so much? Knowing too much about some things can lead to the disaster of death.” The lean elderly man furrowed his brows and said.

“Lead to the disaster of death? Then that little girl’s mother must be the woman Yu Jing saved back then.” The elderly man in white stroked his beard, “Does that woman have a powerful background? There are very few people who make you so afraid.”

“That person’s identity isn’t someone you can go explore. You’d better keep your mouth shut to that girl too.” The lean elderly man cautioned seriously: “It’s not good for her to know too much.”

The elderly man in white rarely saw this old thing so serious, and his heart sank. It seemed that there was some huge secret behind the little girl’s origin, “I know, she’s the one I like, so naturally I won’t let her fall into any unknown danger.”

“As long as you know.” The lean elderly man stopped talking about this matter and the two quickly changed the subject.

However, none of the three of them noticed that a small grass nearby emitted a faint green mist under the moonlight and drifted towards the distance outside the courtyard.
