His Highness the Crown Prince Always Wants to Marry Me

Chapter 17: Roommates (Two)

Yu Qing Qian didn’t expect that Ji Ling Shuang would suddenly tease her. Most importantly was that she discovered that her talent seemed to be no secret in the Academy.

“How did you know?”

“I’m not the only one who knows, old students and freshmen from large kingdoms have obtained the talent information of the freshmen in the first moment. I estimate that in a few days, everyone in the entire Academy will know that you’re the second Spiritual Plant Master in the Academy in recent years to test excellent talent as a Spiritual Plant Master.”

Ji Ling Shuang paused, then added: “In addition to you, there’s another person in our session who also tested excellent talent as a Spiritual Plant Master, he’s considered the third one.”

“Wow! Qing Qian, you’re so awesome.” Xia Ying’s eyes were filled with excitement.

Xie Shu looked at Yu Qing Qian without much surprise or amazement. It was obvious that she already heard this news.

Yu Qing Qian shrugged, looked at Ji Ling Shuang with a half-smile and said: “She hasn’t finished speaking yet.”

She discovered that the dormitory where she lived was truly filled with hidden dragons and crouching tigers¹. Besides Xia Ying, who was sunnier and more innocent, the other two weren’t as simple as they appeared.

Ji Ling Shuang continued with a smile: “There’s nothing else to say. It’s not like physical fitness and mental energy can’t be improved. I think your future achievements will be more inclined to the talent of a Spiritual Plant Master.”

This sentence could be regarded as a tactful consolation.

If her own Spiritual Plant Master talent test had been excellent, but her physical fitness and mental energy hindered her, then her current mood definitely wouldn’t be as calm and peaceful as Yu Qing Qian’s. There was a hint of exploration in her heart towards the other party.

“I’ve been in poor health since I was born prematurely. I’m satisfied that I’ve been able to grow up healthily.” Yu Qing Qian said in half-truths and a smile: “As for physical fitness and mental energy, I can only work hard to improve it in the future to make up for it.”

Ji Ling Shuang and Xie Shu had already received the freshman information from the royal family and their clan before moving into the dormitory. They knew that Yu Qing Qian hadn’t lied. It was a fact that she had been weak and lived in seclusion since she was a child.

Xia Ying had a simple mind. Although she was a more favoured princess in Da Yu Kingdom, but she didn’t pay attention to other people’s talents.

Hearing what Ji Ling Shuang and Yu Qing Qian said, she couldn’t help but reveal a bit of pity in her big watery eyes.

Xie Shu smiled faintly and said: “To live is hope!”

Ji Ling Shuang thought about it, then changed the topic with a smile: “Alright sisters, should we go to the Academy’s tavern to celebrate our acquaintance today?

“I’m treating you tonight!” She looked at the three of them and continued: “Don’t shirk it, the four of us will be living together for several years in the future.”

“Sure!” The other three also wanted to take this opportunity to get along with each other more. After all, they’d be living together in the future.

The four of them each chose a room after agreeing. After washing and tidying up, they went out to the commercial street of the Academy together.

After the registration at the Royal Academy, the road leading to the mountain would be automatically covered up by advanced-level Spiritual Plant Masters. People at the bottom of the mountain wouldn’t be able to come in, and people in the Academy couldn’t go out either.

The Academy specially built a commercial street inside with everything including jewellery, clothing, luxury goods stores, bookstores, weapon stores, high-end restaurants, taverns and the like.

Since the Royal Academy covered a large area, there were special carriages that could be ridden in the Academy. It was free within the campus, but one needed to spend gold coins to ride outside the campus.

The commercial streets and the campus were separate. It took more than two hours to walk from the dormitory. They rented a carriage and it only took less than an hour.
