Lin Heng undoubtedly won first place in the recent student assessment of the Great Xia Divine Martial Institute!
Because he scored too many points, Dongfang Xi had to lower the passing score requirement for the students; otherwise, at least one-third of the students would not have passed the assessment.
This situation is truly one of a kind!
As the top performer in the assessment, Lin Heng received a very generous reward!
However, the so-called generous amount was only for ordinary students; in Lin Heng's view, it was completely insignificant.
It's worth mentioning that Dongfang Xi publicly stated that Lin Heng could move into a small courtyard to live in!
It was already dark when we returned to Divine Martial Institute.
Like everyone else, Lin Heng first went to the cafeteria for dinner.
Because he went to take the assessment early in the morning, he didn't sign in everywhere, so after lunch he wandered around a bit.
Finally, Lin Heng arrived at Hong San and Dongfang Yan's residence.
We walked through a garden and entered the stone house.
"Little Prince, I heard you got first place in the student assessment! Congratulations!"
Dongfang Yan said with a smile, "Not only did you get first place, but the combined scores of all the other students are only half of yours. That's an amazing achievement!"
Upon hearing this news, Dongfang Yan was stunned for a long time!
Yesterday she was telling Hong San that the little prince only wandered around all day, was too lazy in his cultivation, and was too playful. Unexpectedly, Lin Heng showed amazing strength today!
She couldn't help but realize that her husband wasn't helplessly indulging Lin Heng, but rather that Lin Heng didn't need anyone's control!
She felt that Lin Heng must be working very hard in private!
At the same time, she finally understood what her husband had said: this little prince really couldn't be understood using common sense!
"It's nothing."
Lin Heng shook his head and smiled, then followed Hong San to the gate of the Demon-Suppressing Tower.
"Little Prince, you've been coming to see the Demon-Suppressing Tower so often these past few days. Is there something wrong with the tower?"
Hong San couldn't help but ask, puzzled.
Only he knew that the Little Prince was no less powerful than him, and might even be stronger.
Therefore, he thought that perhaps there was something wrong with the Demon-Suppressing Tower that he couldn't see, but the Little Prince could.
"No, I'm just looking around."
Lin Heng replied with feigned seriousness, "This tower gives me a very mysterious feeling. It seems like there's something waiting for me inside, so I often come here to see if I can really find some kind of opportunity!"
"Oh!"
Hong San didn't ask any more questions.
After completing his third check-in, Lin Heng left the Demon-Suppressing Tower.
The next day, Dongfang Xi arrived at Lin Heng's stone house early in the morning.
"Little Prince, come, I'll take you to your new home!"
Thank you!
Lin Heng tidied up a bit and then left the stone house where he had lived for a year with Dongfang Xi.
The new place that Dongfang Xi arranged for Lin Heng to live was a small courtyard right next to Crescent Lake.
"Little Prince, that little courtyard is where Yaoyao currently lives!"
At the entrance of the small courtyard, Dongfang Xi pointed to a small courtyard about ten feet to the west and said with great enthusiasm.
"Um."
Lin Heng nodded casually.
"Little Prince, you don't really want her to be your handmaid for a year, do you?"
"If she doesn't want to, I can't force her!"
Lin Heng said nonchalantly, "Of course, if the Great Xia Imperial Clan feels that her becoming my maid is an insult to their dignity, I can treat that bet as just a joke!"
"Our royal family isn't that petty!"
Dongfang Xi said with a smile, "Last night I went to see the Imperial Uncle and His Majesty the Emperor. After hearing about your bet with Yaoyao, they couldn't stop laughing! Yaoyao is indeed a bit too confident. The entire royal family has poured everything into her upbringing, which has made her a little arrogant and conceited. Letting her serve as your maid for a year will be a good way to temper her personality!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than Dongfang Yao came out of her courtyard.
Dongfang Yao walked over and stood in front of Lin Heng and Dongfang Xi.
"Little one, I'm here to keep my bet!"
Dongfang Yao seemed to have composed herself, and when she spoke, she had a smile on her face as usual.
"Okay, go to the cafeteria and get me some breakfast!"
Lin Heng didn't stand on ceremony. After giving an order, he walked into his small courtyard.
Dongfang Xi smiled and walked away.
The courtyard wall is about ten feet high, and like the houses inside, it is made of ordinary stones.
The house in the courtyard has three rooms: a living room in the middle, a quiet room on the left, and a bedroom on the right.
It also has a basement, and it's quite large.
Lin Heng only received one Supreme-Grade Profound Artifact when he checked in here for the first time, which shows that none of the people who have stayed here before were particularly powerful!
Lin Heng had just finished making the bed when Dongfang Yao brought him breakfast.
"Little one, come and have breakfast!"
Dongfang Yao called out from the living room.
Lin Heng walked out of the bedroom and sat down at the small dining table.
"You can no longer call me 'little one'! You need to understand your role as a maid!"
While eating, Lin Heng lectured, "When you were little, did the palace maids dare call you 'little one'?"
"Then what should I call you? My future husband?"
Dongfang Yao also sat down.
She brought two breakfasts, intending to eat them with Lin Heng.
"It seems you still haven't figured out your role as a maid!"
Lin Heng reprimanded again, "You are my maid, and I am your master. Do you have the right to sit face to face with me and eat together?"
"Take your food away and eat it in the yard!"
"From today onwards, you shall address me as master or lord!"
Dongfang Yao was furious upon hearing this!
I'm already being very accommodating by just pretending, okay?
Do you really think I came here willingly to be your maid?
Seeing Lin Heng's serious expression, Dongfang Yao was furious!
If her father hadn't instructed her last night not to break her promise and to honor the bet, she definitely would have renege on it!
She thought Lin Heng wouldn't dare to go too far, but now it seems she was clearly wrong!
You seem very reluctant!
Lin Heng glanced at Dongfang Yao, "Actually, it's your honor to be my maid!"
"What?"
Dongfang Yao couldn't hold back any longer!
This little brat is too arrogant! Does he think he's some kind of the Invincible God Realm mother?
Dongfang Yao admitted that Lin Heng was indeed much stronger than her now, but who could predict what would happen in the future?
Many prodigies were incredibly talented in their youth, but their abilities gradually declined later on.
"At most, I'll call you Your Highness. But expecting me to call you Master or Lord is impossible!"
Dongfang Yao picked up her plate and stormed off to the courtyard.
Lin Heng ignored her completely.
Drunken Cloudtop Restaurant has branches in major cities throughout the Divine Firmament Human Race, with its flagship store located in the Great Xia Imperial City.
At this moment, a golden-robed instructor from the Great Xia Divine Martial Institute was having a private conversation with someone of low cultivation level in a guest room of this top-tier restaurant.
" The Devil Master himself issued the assassination order? Who is he to assassinate?"
"Lin Heng, the Little Prince of Chishui!"
