Qi Yaoguang just now.”

Liu Xian stroked his small beard.
“Of course not; going after other people’s wives isn’t my style.
I like those who are obedient and especially pure.
You know what, I’ve already made my decision! Lady Qi will be my next target.
I’m going to study in the Royal Academy and attend her class, to admire her beauty up close.”

Meng Pan clicked his tongue.
“Just give up.
The Royal Academy’s students are all talented, and Lady Qi is the libationer’s core disciple.
They key is that she’s even capable of divination, making her way too powerful and mysterious.”

“Divination?” Liu Xian realized something.
“No wonder she knew what I wanted to do ahead of time.
Haha, this kind of woman is even more worth subduing.”

The others rolled their eyes.
They didn’t feel like paying attention to his delusions anymore.
All of them began to chat among themselves.

“Once I leave this dungeon, I’m going to study some more in the Royal Academy.
I only studied carelessly for two years back then.
Now, I feel a bit regretful that I didn’t study the most important things from the academy.”

“Yeah, I was thinking the same thing.
I heard that there’ll be a selection exam coming up soon in the academy’s rear mountains.
With our background, we should be able to sign up for it directly.
Only after one gets into the rear mountain can you learn the most important techniques from the libationer’s direct disciples.”

“Which teacher do you all want to become the students of? I like playing Go more, so Hei Baizi’s chess dao seems the most interesting.”

“I hope I can become a student of Mr.
Shen Xuzi instead.
After all, pills become extremely important once you reach later ranks of cultivation.
I heard that he’s even able to control golems in battle.
If I had a few golems behind me, wouldn’t I immediately become several times stronger?”

“As for me, I like Ms.
Jiang.
She has carefully studied the law, and her cultivation is profound.
I’m sure I’ll be able to improve a lot by following her.”

“Tsk, do you really want to study the law? We almost don’t even want to expose you.”

“But Ms.
Jiang’s black stockings really are incredible; who wouldn’t want to learn from her?”

…

Even though they had lowered their voices, Bi Linglong could still hear everything clearly since they were so close to each other.
She was completely speechless when she saw the Gu clan brothers join in with suspicious smiles.
These damn men were all good-for-nothing perverts!

Pei You said with a sneer, “Look at you all, being so picky.
The selection exam for the rear mountain is extremely strict.
All who pass are extraordinary talents.
You should be happy if any of the teachers are willing to take you in.”

“I guess you’re right.
I don’t even know if I’ll pass that selection exam.”

“Ah, heavens, please help me! I’ll be eternally grateful to the world if I ’m accepted!”

All of them immediately became much more humble when they realized the difficulty of entering the rear mountain.
They were no longer in such high spirits as before.

Someone with sharp eyes said, “Huh? Aren’t those the teachers of the academy’s rear mountain?”

“You’re right! Those are Shen Xuzi, Hei Baizi, Wang Shuyang, Yin Shi, and wow, those legs in black stockings definitely belong to Jiang Luofu!”

“Huh? Why would all of the teachers come out? It’s been so long since such a thing happened.”

Gu Xing was quick on his feet and immediately spoke out in praise.
“Of course it’s because the crown prince and princess are setting out on a mission, so the academy had them come out to see them off.”

Even though the others knew that the academy had always held a neutral position, that they shouldn’t do anything that would clearly show partiality toward the crown prince, they couldn ’t think of any other possibility, so they supported Gu Xing’s opinion.

At the same time, they sorted out their clothes and held their heads high.
They thought to themselves that their luck this time really was good, for them to be able to share in the limelight of the crown prince and princess.
When the teachers came over to greet the crown prince and princess, they had to behave well.
Who knew, they might catch the eye of one of the teachers and be taken in as a disciple right there and then.

Zu An had already gotten down from the platform.
He walked over to Bi Linglong and nodded toward her with a smile.

Bi Linglong thought to herself, This fella seems surprisingly relaxed. She hoped that he would continue to hold the same attitude once they went inside the dungeon.

Even though the young masters of the other clans didn’t think too highly of Zu An, their attentions were completely diverted.
Not even the Gu clan brothers said anything else.
All of them stuck out their chests and had polite expressions on their faces as they faced the rear mountain teachers.

Gu Xing was the quickest of them all.
He rushed out and greeted them.
“Teachers, did you come to see the crown prince and princess off? They’re over there; I’ll lead you guys.”

The others cursed Gu Xing’s craftiness.
They rushed over one after another to curry favor.
However, the teachers remained cold and aloof, not paying them any attention.
