Chapter 626: Chapter 626: Princess?
“Thought you were close pals, huh? Why were you stopped, then?”
Jiang Xiaobai asked with a chuckle.
Huo Shuyu turned abruptly, her long blue whip, long enough to drag the ground, stirred in the air.
“Shut up!”
Clearly, she was also pissed off by Jiang Xiaobai’s taunt.
The two gatekeepers at the entrance were smirking at Huo Shuyu, shifting from a formal stance to a ready-to-fight posture.
Although they weren’t exceptionally skilled, they were bona fide disciples of Azure Dragon Academy.
Who would dare to mess with them on their turf?
“I told you to leave, didn’t you hear or…”
Slap!
Just as one of the disciples opened his mouth to sneer, Huo Shuyu swiftly raised her hand and slapped him across the face.
The disciple was knocked away instantly.
This bold action astonished the onlookers, who turned their heads to watch.
“Damn, who’s this attractive lady? She’s gutsy enough to hit people here?”
“Good lord, flat out hitting a disciple at the entrance of Azure Dragon Academy, that’s an unprecedented event in the last millennia.”
“Haha, this woman is finished now. The academy will never let her off the hook.”
The onlookers who loved drama started to mock and laugh.
In this massive city, locals loved nothing more than a good spectacle.
Especially if it involved Azure Dragon Academy!
The disciple who was struck flew back, fiercely smashing the gate, and then tumbled to the ground.
“Damn it, you’re so dead! How dare you hit me; do you not know I’m an Azure Dragon Academy disciple?”
The disciple who’d been slapped was raging, pointing at Huo Shuyu as he yelled.
A group of skilled fighters swarmed out from the academy, with their eyes deadlocked on Huo Shuyu.
There was a surge of aura from them, indicating they were about to strike.
Seeing this, White Cat and the others were startled.
They had already irrevocably offended Sky Clearing Tower. If they provoked the Azure Dragon Academy too, they would have no escape.
But Huo Shuyu didn’t panic despite being surrounded. Instead, calmly, she pulled out a token.
“Summon your dean to meet me.”
Hiss!
The surrounding crowd gasped in surprise.
This woman really has some nerve!
Demanding to see the dean straightaway?
What kind of person is she?
The disciples of the Azure Dragon academy were fuming at Huo Shuyu’s audacious behaviour.
They were baying to fight her!
However, the disciple at the forefront who saw the design of the token was struck with terror, and immediately knelt down.
“My respects to the princess!”
“Alas! I was blind and deserve punishment! Please forgive me, princess!”
His words stunned the entire audience.
“Princess?”
“Is this woman the princess of the Great Goose Dynasty?”
The crowd was dumbstruck; they had just seen the princess? That was impossible, wasn’t it?
Even Jiang Xiaobai was perplexed; he stopped a bystander and asked,
“Do you know the royal surname?”
“It’s Ning, of course! How could you not know that the Ning Clan is the royal family?” The man sneered at Jiang Xiaobai, then shrugged off his hand and quickly moved closer to get a better look at the princess.
Jiang Xiaobai stood rooted to his spot, narrowing his eyes.
“If your father’s surname is Ning, why is yours Huo?”
At this point, other disciples from the Azure Dragon Academy also knelt down one after another.
Each one begged for mercy.
The disciple who had stopped Huo Shuyu and had been beaten was as pale as death.
He crawled and rolled over to Huo Shuyu, fell on his knees, and slapped his own face continuously.
“It’s my fault, I deserve to die!”
“Please, spare my life, Your Highness!”
However, his desperate plea did not earn Huo Shuyu’s forgiveness. Instead, he was kicked away by her.
“Let’s go, what are you all waiting for?”
Huo Shuyu nonchalantly turned around and walked into the academy.
White Cat and the others were totally flabbergasted!
Wait a minute, did they just randomly pick up a princess of the dynasty?
How could it be? Huo Shuyu had kept it so under wraps that no one knew!
They had lived together for several months, and she hadn’t revealed a thing!
But luckily, Huo Shuyu didn’t abandon them in their time of need. She revealed her identity, thereby saving White Cat and his friends.
However, Jiang Xiaobai was still frowning.
While others had already entered, he remained outside, blocking that man again.
“Is the princess of the Great Goose Dynasty very brutal?”
“Why is everyone so scared of her?”
At his words, the man shivered and glanced around before expressing his response quietly to Jiang Xiaobai.
“She’s not just brutal, she is the one and only princess of the whole dynasty, the apple of the emperor’s eye, spoiled rotten!”
“In the Great Goose Dynasty, you can offend anyone, but you’re done for if you offend the princess.”
“But brother, you’re really lucky to be a person serving close to the princess.”
“Let me introduce myself, I am Sun Gagniang. Let’s support each other in the future!””
Sun Gagniang had a fawning smile spread across his face.
He inferred from Huo Shuyu’s conversation that Jiang Xiaobai and others were close associates of the princess.
How could he not ingratiate himself with such a person?
After hearing Sun Gagniang’s name, Jiang Xiaobai was totally dumbstruck!
Sun Gagniang?
What a name!
“Gagniang, your name is quite unique,” Jiang Xiaobai laughed.
“Ha ha, this name has quite a story. My mother specifically found a fortune teller who said that when I’m 28, I will stumble upon good luck and receive help from a noble person.”
“The name ‘Gagniang’ took the fortune teller a long time to come up with.”
“Look, isn’t my noble person here?”
As Sun Gagniang said this, he smiled ingratiatingly at Jiang Xiaobai again.
Jiang Xiaobai was speechless. In the end, he didn’t pay much attention to him and didn’t take him seriously.
He walked straight into Azure Dragon Academy.
Outside, Sun Gagniang watched Jiang Xiaobai hurry in, he sighed.
“Noble people are really tricky to deal with.”
“But, Gagniang, that fortune-teller was really accurate. Yesterday was my 28th birthday!”
Sun Gagniang was cheerful as he turned around and left the place. He was sure he was destined to be with the noble, and they would naturally meet again in the future!
Jiang Xiaobai, however, didn’t think so.
Once he entered the academy, he could see an entirely different world within. The decor was highly poetic and picturesque.
This seemed less like a martial academy and more like a place for scholars.
But the disciples inside showed extreme respect, many of them looking at Jiang Xiaobai with an abundance of envy and resentment.
Very soon, he caught up with Huo Shuyu.
This smart woman turned to Jiang Xiaobai and said, “I’ve got a complicated identity. I’ll tell you all about it later.”
“Let’s settle White Cat and the others first.”
As soon as she finished saying this, an elderly man with white hair rushed over.
His clothes were different from those of the disciples. The disciples wore blue clothes, while he was dressed in black.
On his chest was a blue dragon emblem.
“Greetings, Your Highness!”
Master Xu said slowly.
But Jiang Xiaobai clearly heard the elderly man’s trembling voice.
