Crashed into the Academy Manager's Grandson on the First Day of School
Lin Luo: "?"
Lin Luo: "You're just going to give in like that?"
She Long whispered, "The young master instructed us that it's best to keep a low profile. Prince Xue Xing is in charge of the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, so we shouldn't offend his relatives, otherwise you might face trouble within the academy."
Lin Luo raised an eyebrow. "Sorry, I just love being bothered. I'll cut in front of them and leave the capital. If they don't let me, I'll overturn their carriages!"
She Long and the Pufferfish turned around in surprise. "Young Master, you..."
Lin Luo said coldly, "Grandpas, are you perhaps disobeying me?"
"Yes!!"
"Drive!"
The Crown Prince's carriage sneered and immediately sped forward.
The curtain on the side of the carriage was lifted by the wind, and Lin Luo turned his head to look, just in time to see another carriage traveling alongside him.
The curtain of the carriage had been pulled open, and a boy and a girl immediately turned around to look. Both of them were quite good-looking, but they both looked surprised, as if they hadn't expected Lin Luo's carriage to dare not give way!
Lin Luo glanced at them with a cold expression before pulling the curtain closed.
"How dare you! How dare you stop the prince and princess's carriage from passing!!"
The guards of the Prince's residence shouted angrily.
She Long turned his head and sneered, "Isn't the heir apparent also inside my carriage? Why should I yield?"
A boy's voice came from the carriage opposite. "Old Li, why argue with a beggar begging for the title of prince? Just hurry up."
Lin Luo said coldly, "Old She, the cattle and horses barking in my ear are really annoying. I'll pass them."
She Long: "Yes, Your Highness!"
The two carriages were traveling at roughly the same speed and soon collided. Lin Luo turned his head and met the eyes of the girl in the opposite window. Lin Luo's first thought was that she was actually quite pretty.
After all, they are of royal blood.
He sneered, "As expected, ugly people are often the most troublesome."
"You!!"
The girl opposite him glared at him angrily.
[You have received 500 points of anger from Xue Fu]
It didn't even reach a thousand Emotion Points, what a piece of trash.
The two carriages began to collide, and Lin Luo, jostled inside, frowned immediately. "Old She, is that all you've got?"
She Long swung his whip forcefully, and at the same time, milky white Soul Power overflowed and exploded from his body.
"Buzz--Bang!"
At the moment of the collision, the prince's carriage immediately slid seven or eight meters away, its wheels scraping the ground and creating a shower of sparks. The carriage then slammed heavily against the palace wall, kicking up a cloud of dust.
She Long held back, otherwise the opponent's carriage would have fallen apart instantly.
In the end, Lin Luo's carriage was the first to leave the imperial city, leaving the prince's carriage with a dashing silhouette.
Upon arriving outside the imperial city, the streets became densely packed with people, She Long slowed down.
The Pufferfish couldn't help but turn back and say, "Young Master, our behavior just now... was really inappropriate. If the Young Master finds out, he will definitely punish me and She Long."
Lin Luo shrugged and said, "Then let's just not let her know. Isn't it easy to keep it a secret?"
Pufferfish: "This..."
She Long frowned. "Young Master, you are still young and unaware of the turbulent undercurrents and complex power dynamics within Heaven Dou City. Do you know that just as we stepped out of the imperial city gates, many eyes have been fixed on us?"
Lin Luo asked nonchalantly, "Who are they?"
She Long turned his head and looked around. He had been lurking in Heaven Dou City for so long that he was already very familiar with the various spies in the shadows.
"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's spies, the Empress's faction's spies, Xue Ye's own spies, the Blacksmith Association's spies, the Speed Clan's spies... Ha, today even the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's spies are watching us, how strange."
Lin Luo remained nonchalant. "Why are you paying attention to me?"
"Because Luo'er, you are the Crown Prince's adopted son, and you were just appointed as his heir by that old fellow Xue Ye, with generous rewards. This matter is enough to stir up a huge commotion in the entire Heaven Dou City."
Guang Ling's voice suddenly came from beside him. Lin Luo was startled and immediately turned his head, only to see that Guang Ling had been sitting behind him at some point.
Fifth Great-Grandfather!
"Oh! My dear Luo'er!"
The mischievous old man Guang Ling, immediately opened his arms and hugged Lin Luo tightly.
Have you missed your great-grandfather?
"I've thought about it! But shouldn't you be staying at the temple, Fifth Great-Grandfather?"
Guang Ling sighed, "I can't sit still. Bibi Dong is such a quiet person, we can't even have a proper conversation."
She Long and the Pufferfish immediately said, "Greetings, Fifth Offering!"
"Focus on driving the carriage, don't worry about it." After saying that, Guang Ling smiled and looked at Lin Luo: "Luo'er, She Long is right about one thing, there are just too many people in Heaven Dou City."
Lin Luo pouted. "Just because I was made a prince."
Guang Ling: "No, because of the royal family's power struggle, many sects are affiliated with the other royal families. And since you are currently the Crown Prince's closest confidant, they naturally want to observe your every word and action to see if you are the Crown Prince's carefully cultivated confidant."
At this point, Guang Ling smiled and said, "There's something you might not expect: even Soul Beast are watching you."
Lin Luo was stunned, genuinely not expecting this. "Why?"
Guang Ling shrugged. "I don't know, I only just noticed it myself. Several wisps of Soul Beast aura have been secretly following your carriage."
"Is it Xiao Hong?"
"It's not her scent."
Lin Luo didn't know that.
However, seeing that Guang Ling remained in the carriage and seemed unwilling to get off, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Fifth Great-Grandfather, are you going to the academy with me?"
Upon hearing this, Guang Ling immediately straightened his back, glanced at Lin Luo slightly, and said, "Ahem, let me introduce myself. My current identity is a food server at window number seven on the first floor of the affiliated cafeteria of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy!"
Lin Luo: "???"
She Long and the Pufferfish: "What?! Fifth Offering to you... What kind of talk is this?"
Guang Ling's lips twitched immediately. "There's nothing I can do. The Heaven Dou Imperial Academy's standards for hiring teachers are too strict. They require a clear background, five generations of clean family history. Clean family history my foot! I'm almost a hundred years old. The records of my ancestors are from ancient times. How can I give them to them? Dig up their graves?"
Lin Luo: "Hahaha!"
She Long frowned. "This is no small matter... We must report this to the authorities--"
Guang Ling glared. "If you dare to inform on the Spirit Hall, I'll strip you naked and hang you on the city wall!"
She Long immediately shut up.
Guang Ling: "By the way, Luo'er, there will be an entrance test for new students. Classes will be assigned based on the scores. Try your best to get into Class 1!"
"Okay, Fifth Great-Grandpa." After Lin Luo finished speaking, he suddenly saw Guang Ling take out a vegetable server's uniform from his Soul Tool and put it on in front of him.
Guang Ling glanced furtively out the window and quickly said, "We're almost at the academy. I'll get off first. If someone sees a vegetable vendor riding in a prince's carriage, I'm doomed. I might even get fired from the academy."
Lin Luo's lips twitched; he didn't know how to comment.
At this moment, Guang Ling suddenly poked his head out of the window again and reminded him, "Luo'er, you have quite a few enemies in the academy, mostly from the Queen and Xue Beng factions. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is their loyal lackey. You must be careful and wary, and also watch out for those two kids who just bumped into you. They are not simple."
Lin Luo: "Who are they?"
Guang Ling chuckled, "Congratulations, on your first day of school you've bumped into the academy administrator's grandson and granddaughter. They're the academy's real princes."
