Alchemy Academy (4)

"Miss Lanyu, you ladies watch the young master. I'll go get some food. I made him wait too long, he must be hungry," Tiger Girl instructed before heading to the center to fetch food.

This was a self-service restaurant. All food and drinks were provided free of charge. You could take as much as you wanted, as long as you could finish it without any waste.

"I really don't understand you. Why didn't you go to Star Chasing Academy? You insisted on staying here. That's the number one academy in the world, and others don't even have the qualifications to go," Tiger Girl said to the Seventh Princess after she left. The Seventh Princess seemed to have forgotten that she herself hadn't gone there either.

"You're no different. What right do you have to say that about me?" the Seventh Princess retorted directly.

"I'm different. I have to take care of my younger brother. Besides, I think there's no difference between here and there. I can still become the best mage."

"Me too. I have to take care of my fiancé, and I also think there's no difference. I can still become the best mage."

"You…"

"What are you two arguing about? Don't you both have the same opinion? Why do you always fight?" The Thirteenth Young Master interrupted the two women's argument. He couldn't understand this at all. There was no conflict between the two women, and their goals were very similar.

It wasn't just him who couldn't figure it out; the Ye Family and the royal family were also confused. They didn't understand why the two women would argue. Was it because of that one time they each commented on the other's figure? That didn't seem like a reason.

Perhaps it was due to their Talent Attributes. The Seventh Princess was fire, while Ye Lanyu had the rare mutated ice attribute, inherited from Long Anqi. Among the four siblings, she was the only one who inherited this rare attribute.

Fate had made the two incompatible, like ice and fire.

"Who has the same opinion as her?" the two women said in unison.

"Oh, let's eat first." The Thirteenth Young Master merely responded with an "Oh" before picking up the food Tiger Girl had brought back and eating heartily.

"Hmph…" The two women exchanged glances and then also began to eat.

Tiger Girl shook her head with some helplessness, sighing inwardly about why there were always strange people around her young master. Miss Lanyu's temper was already quite peculiar, and now there was the even stranger Seventh Princess.

She didn't know what the Seventh Princess liked about her young master. While it wasn't that kind of liking, she always enjoyed being with her clumsy young master.

"I'm full! I'm going out to play!" The Thirteenth Young Master Ye patted his stomach, wiped his mouth, and immediately got up to leave. He didn't wait for the girls who were still slowly savoring their food. Of course, this didn't include Tiger Girl, but Tiger Girl's large appetite made her overall speed a bit slower.

"Young master!" Tiger Girl immediately wiped her mouth and got up to follow. Eating until she was eight-tenths full was good enough.

Eight-tenths full!? As expected of the Tiger Tribe, that portion was enough for an ordinary person to eat for several meals.

"Little brat, come back here! Wait for me…" Ye Lanyu yelled unhappily. She was displeased with the Thirteenth Young Master's behavior of leaving without waiting for her.

Although she knew her younger brother had always been like this, she was still very unhappy.

However, before she could finish speaking, something unexpected happened. This led to a very awkward beginning, a chance encounter, for two people who shouldn't have crossed paths.

At that time, the Thirteenth Young Master Ye was still holding a bottle of juice. He liked to drink it this way; it was something he often did. But today, because of this, a rather awkward scene unfolded.

Someone saw that the Thirteenth Young Master Ye was "alone" and, seeing an opportunity, used a common prank to attack him. This method involved sticking out a leg to trip someone.

As a result, the clumsy Thirteenth Young Master Ye easily fell victim, tripping and making intimate contact with the ground. The juice in his hand spilled out.

"Ah…"

"It hurts, it hurts so much…"

"Young master!"

"Brother!"

"Ye Lang!"

A pleasant shriek, along with the Thirteenth Young Master's cries of pain and the concerned shouts of the three women, echoed through the entire restaurant hall almost simultaneously.

The latter few voices were normal, but the first pleasant shriek made one feel a slight sense of confusion as to who had made it.

It was a young girl of about fifteen or sixteen, dressed in white, with a delicate, exquisitely beautiful small face and long silver-white hair. Her skin was as fair as snow, giving people the feeling of eating ice cream.

The girl stood in front of the Thirteenth Young Master Ye. Her shriek wasn't because the Thirteenth Young Master had suddenly fallen in front of her, but because of the juice on her face and chest. That's right, this juice belonged to the Thirteenth Young Master Ye.

The once snow-white, delicate girl now had a bit of color added to her – the color of juice. This ruined her overall impression and severely damaged her white dress.

"…" The girl's brows furrowed, and signs of anger were already appearing on her face. But soon, she would become even angrier, practically exploding with rage.

"Young master, are you alright?" Tiger Girl helped the Thirteenth Young Master Ye up.

"My nose hurts so much… White underwear. Tiger Girl, she's all in white. She looks very good," the Thirteenth Young Master said, covering his nose, his tone very casual, as if he were stating the most ordinary thing.

"…" The entire scene fell silent.

At this moment, the person who had tripped the Thirteenth Young Master Ye began to regret it. Why did they have to benefit this idiot? They wished they were the one who had tripped. This thought was probably shared by all the male students present.

It's over. This clumsy younger brother, why does he say everything that comes to mind? He shouldn't have said it so directly after seeing someone's underwear.

At this moment, Ye Lanyu retracted the magic she was about to unleash. If not for this incident, the person who tripped the Thirteenth Young Master Ye would have been frozen for a while.

"Heh heh, beautiful lady, I'm sorry. My brother is an idiot. He didn't mean to peek at your underwear; he was just tripped," Ye Lanyu intended to calm the girl down before she got angry. However, her words seemed to have a major problem, as she reminded them of the underwear incident again.

"She really doesn't know how to talk!" the Seventh Princess quietly commented to Ye Lanyu before stepping forward to speak with the girl. "I'm sorry, these two siblings don't know how to speak properly. Ye Lang was tripped, which is why he said that. Please don't be angry. Ye Lang, quickly apologize to her."

"Oh, I'm sorry." The Thirteenth Young Master Ye was very honest. Although he was tripped, he felt that spilling juice on someone was also his fault, and at least an apology was necessary.

"Are a single 'I was tripped' and an 'I'm sorry' enough to erase all fault?" the girl said coldly, indicating that she did not accept the apology.
