His Highness the Crown Prince Always Wants to Marry Me

Chapter 474: Just Had to Provoke the Great Demon King

The pupils of the Holy Academy noticed that no one from the Imperial Academy supported Leng Ling Shuang and suspected that this person definitely had a bad character.

Shui Yan Yu hadn’t spoken since entering the private room, and he hadn’t placed a bet the entire time, so he had always been rather low-profile.

Although he looked ordinary, but he had a gentle and elegant temperament, and his expression was a little pale, looking a bit thinner than an ordinary person, which made it easy for people to have a good impression of him and have pity.

“I’ll play too.” Shui Yan Yu took out fifty thousand spiritual jade and gave it to the spiritual plant.

Surprisingly, he bet on the first egg, which was the same as Yu Qing Qian’s choice, stunning the pupils of the Imperial Academy.

One should know that Huo Li Ruo and Yu Qing Qian used to be in the same Academy, and the two had a good relationship. Therefore, no one thought it was a big deal that Huo Li Ruo stood on Yu Qing Qian’s side, even if it felt uncomfortable, they’d have to tolerate it.

But Shui Yan Yu was different. He was very low-profile from the very beginning. He was gentle and graceful but didn’t like to speak. It wasn’t easy for people to ignore his existence, but he wouldn’t attract too much attention either.

He should’ve had no interaction with Yu Qing Qian before, so why’d he stand on Yu Qing Qian’s side?

Leng Ling Shuang could no longer calm down right now. She felt sick to death. Why did Yu Qing Qian not only oppose her, but also the pupils of her own Academy.

So she looked at Shui Yan Yu and said bluntly: “Senior Brother Shui, are you sure you want to stand on the side of the Holy Academy?”

Her words sounded a bit like a threat or provocation, and the word ‘Holy Academy’ was emphasised heavily.

Although the several pupils didn’t like Leng Ling Shuang, but they couldn’t approve of Shui Yan Yu’s behaviour of ‘turning his elbow outward’ either.

“Yeah! Junior Brother Shui, think it over before you place your bet.”

Shui Yan Yu looked indifferent and said: “No need to think over it, my bet has nothing to do with the Holy Academy or the Imperial Academy, and it’s not following anyone. I just think the first egg will break the shell first.”

His voice was as clear and pleasant as the spring water in the mountains and his words seemed to be just stating a fact.

“Young Miss Leng, our Holy Academy and your Imperial Academy are cooperating on a mission this time, must you divide us so clearly?” Yu Qing Qian hooked her lips upwards. Leng Ling Shuang could instigate discord, so could she.

Moreover, Yu Qing Qian acted as if she did it on purpose too, which made the people present feel like they didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Leng Ling Shuang choked and realised that she had said the wrong thing because she was so angry. Seeing the dissatisfied look Mu’rong Jiao and the others gave her, she hated Yu Qing Qian even more.

She used to be the one who controlled the situation wherever she went, or she’d make others unable to retort, but unexpectedly, she was at a disadvantage in front of Yu Qing Qian again this time.

“I didn’t mean it that way, Young Miss Yu overthought it.” Leng Ling Shuang’s explanation was rather stiff.

Yu Qing Qian shook the wine cup in her hand and didn’t answer. She responded with an indifferent attitude which made Leng Ling Shuang even more embarrassed.

The atmosphere in the private room became awkward again, but the pupils of the Holy Academy looked rather indifferent.

The two Academies had always had big conflicts and sometimes they’d fight to the death in private. When they weren’t cooperating, the pupils of the two Academies would be very hostile towards each other, so they were happy to see the pupils of the Imperial Academy make a fool of themselves.

The pupils of the Imperial Academy felt very aggrieved since they entered this private room, and it was all because of Leng Ling Shuang. They couldn’t help but resent her.

Why did she just have to provoke the Great Demon King of the Holy Academy out of everyone, didn’t she know that this woman never played by the rules?

They could only pin their hopes on this round of betting, to see if Leng Ling Shuang could win the bet and save them some face.
