Shocking Venomous Consort: Frivolous Miss - Chapter 110
Chapter 110: Will be a Flourishing Legend in the Future
Mu Liufeng stood up on the watching platform. The corners of his lips curled into a sneer as he muttered beneath his breath, “Too soft-hearted.” He floated away after saying this, leaving behind the principal and a group of teachers with confused looks on their faces.
‘Soft-hearted? He said Ling Chuxi was soft-hearted? Was he joking right now? Ling Chuxi’s aptitude resembled a sharp and unsheathed sword. She was an incomparably sharp person that made people’s hearts shudder.’
Master Lan remained standing where he was as he kept his eyes on Lan Xinyu, who hadn’t moved from where she stood on stage. An assured smile appeared on his face. The cocoon had been broken and a butterfly was about to emerge—although his granddaughter’s metamorphosis wasn’t known to others at present, he knew. ‘Ling Chuxi, you are complex indeed! The depth of your wisdom and might is truly shocking. I am anticipating and longing to see what your future holds. I look forward to seeing what kind of flourishing legend you’ll become!’
When Ling Chuxi walked towards Ling Yichen, the fifth princess and Xia Zhuoyi, they all gathered around her.
“Haha! I knew you’d definitely win, master,” announced the fifth princess with a shake of her head. “To celebrate my master’s victory and my transfer to the academy, let’s all go have a good meal!”
“Why do those things call for a good meal?” asked Xia Zhuoyi uncertainly.
“Ah, my master taught me this. When you’re happy—eat. When you’re unhappy—eat as well. Then you’ll become happier and happier!” exclaimed the fifth princess enthusiastically as she pat Xia Zhuoyi on the shoulder. “Hey, hateful person. Since I just transferred, I’m about to become your classmate. Aren’t you happy about this?”
“Happy, my a**,” remarked Xia Zhuoyi disdainfully. His lips twitched as he moved his shoulder to shrug off the fifth princess’ hand. Also, what kind of magical logic is this? Eating when happy as well as when unhappy… Exactly what kind of teachings was Ling Chuxi imparting to the fifth princess every day?
“We should go and collect the first-place prize for the experiential training competition. It’s very important to me,” said Ling Yichen, finally speaking after remaining quiet for some time.
“All right let’s do that,” said Ling Chuxi with a nod. She knew Ling Yichen’s main reason for entering White Stone Academy was to participate in the experiential training competition and claim the first-place prize.
Without much effort, Ling Chuxi and the rest went to collect the reward. The prize was encased in an exquisite white jade box. Many high-grade herbs were kept as such to preserve their medicinal effects. The Seven Star Flower was a herb of extraordinary value. Naturally, it needed to be preserved with much care.
When Ling Yichen received the white jade box, a trace of change echoed across his usually calm face. He took a deep breath and a shallow smile of relief appeared on his handsome face. He finally managed to procure this rare herb.
“What do you need the Seven Star Flower for?” asked the fifth princess curiously.
“My senior brother was poisoned by an odd poison and he needs medicine made from a Seven Star Flower to get better.” Once Ling Yichen finished speaking, he carefully lifted the lid of the white jade box. However, after opening it, his face froze.
“What’s wrong, Yichen?” Ling Chuxi noticed something was wrong when she saw Ling Yichen’s expression change. She reached over for the white jade box to look at the Seven Star Flower. ‘There shouldn’t be anything wrong with a prize given by the academy, right?’
“It’s just that it’s a purple Seven Star Flower. I need a white Seven Star Flower,” said Ling Yichen with a crestfallen expression as he closed the lid of the white jade box lightly. The disappointment he felt was hard to express in words.
The meaning behind the Seven Star Flower’s name was that it didn’t mean all seven petals of a flower were seven different colors, but rather that there were seven different types of Seven Star Flowers and each was a different color. So, as it turned out, Ling Yichen had generated all his efforts into finding a Seven Star Flower so he could help his senior brother recover from a bout of poisoning.
“How did your senior brother get poisoned? There are so many famous doctors, are none of them able to help him?” asked the fifth princess, she couldn’t contain her curiosity.
“No. Even Mister Luo from the capital had no way of curing him,” said Ling Yichen with a bitter laugh as he handed the white jade box to Ling Chuxi. His eyes were full of disappointment and helplessness.
Mister Luo from the capital? That famous Mister Luo?
