Chapter 87: The Two Of Them

Crown Prince Lail twirled the black-blue spear in his hand as he leaped into the air. Lighting crackled and space warped. A powerful surge of energy flowed through his meridians before forcefully erupting outward.

Wang!

"Roarrr!"

With a resounding boom, the ferocious four horned beast entrapped within an encirclement of magical spells, shrieked in pain as his limbs shattered. Powerlessly slamming to the ground, the beast defiantly swept his eyes around, still looking as fierce as before.

"Damn! This magical beast is a stubborn one!"

"Even with all its' limbs severed off, it still has the energy to glare."

"If I were in his position, I would be out of action by now."

"Which is why you are not in its position."

The surrounding magician apprentices, garbed in black remarked off-handedly as they kept their shields up and fortified their magic spells.

Until the beast was completely finished, they could not relax their guard.

"Sister Murong, aren't you being too mean? What do you mean by, which is why I am not in its' position? Isn't it just a magical beast? How could it possibly compare to me?" Disgruntled with the comment, the male student spoke with grievance. 

However, the Sister Murong he was addressing was fully focused on the black robed Brother Lail. His complaints went into deaf ears. Snorting with dissatisfaction, the student focused back on his spells.

He liked Sister Murong.

However, it was obvious to the entire Mistland Academy that she was interested in the recently admitted student. What was even more depressing was the fact that the student was a genius among geniuses. 

Sighing dispiritedly, he shook his head and tried to focus on the task at hand.

"Brother Lail, are you okay? Was that too taxing on you?" Murong Ling immediately rushed to Crown Prince Lail's side, anxiously scanning his face for any discomfort.

Frowning in displeasure, Crown Prince Lail tried to control his emotions. 

Almost 6 months had passed and yet, he was unable to rid himself of the annoying fly termed 'Murong'.

In fact, as time passed, the girl seemed to only glue herself more closely to his side.

Take this mission, for instance.

He took it on the wimp to avoid her presence in the academy, while testing the might of his magical power. However, right when he entered the teleportation portal, he came to know of the girl's inclusion in the task.

Of course, he was clearly aware of her intentions. Even more than that, he was aware of the dean's intentions.

However, they were all building dreams on an empty landscape. He was already a married man.

As he thought of his wife, a gentle smile graced the lips of the cold and arrogant Crown Prince Lail.

The two of them met and got tied in a bond in the most unlikely situations. Even now, when he recalled that night 6 months ago, his heart raced in nervous thrill. The night they forged their fate together under the eyes of all the envoys of the seven realms, they got tied together in the most transparent and pure bond in the realms.

It was a night he would never forget, because it was the night the two of them got bond to each other for life.

Murong Ling, mistaking the smile to be in response for her worry, blushed profusely.

'Yes! My relentless efforts are finally paying off. Brother Lail is touched with my care. I only need to work hard and never give up. Sooner or later, he will be mine!'

Confident of her looks and her status in the academy, Murong Ling was not worried that she would lose the Crown Prince to another student. On the contrary, she felt the more females that attempted to approach him, the better for her. 

Because then, Crown Prince Lail will notice the vast difference between them and her, and his heart would be inclined even more towards her.

"Brother Lail, don't push yourself too hard. Magical beasts are not easy creatures to defeat in one strike. Now that you had weakened the creature, it will be easy for the others to take care of him on their own." She made her voice as gentle as possible, wanting to imprint a gentle image of herself in his heart.

Crown Prince Lail, hearing the sickly sweet sound coming from his side, was instantly repulsed and pulled out of his reverie.

"Could you maintain some distance, please?" His voice was cold, devoid of all emotion.

"Huh?" It was not the response that she was expecting. His sudden coldness and the alienated look in his eyes.

'Why is Brother Lail suddenly so cold? Was it something that I said?' Confused and in turmoil, she tried to think of how she could have suddenly offended him.

"I said, can you please move back? You are too close for comfort."

"Ah!" The aura radiating of his body was so cold and sharp, that Murong Ling unconsciously stepped back in fright.

Heart pounding fiercely in her chest, she stared with wide eyes at his retreating back.

That back, it was an image she had seen too often within the past 6 months. It was an image etched deeply into her heart.

"What did I do wrong?" Her white teeth bit on her red lips, as she unsuccessfully tried to hold back the sobs. In the end, she was still a girl and all the past grievances resurfaced in her mind, bringing tears to her eyes.

Every single one of her effort seemed to be meant with a steel wall, seemingly not having any affect in melting the man's cold heart.

No matter how she appeared unaffected on the surface, inside she was still sadden.

In fact, she knew the man was avoiding and keeping her at a distance. But she chose to turn a blind eye, because she liked him. She liked him so much, that there was no place for anyone else in her heart.

His cold attitude, rude behavior, and unkind words. She accepted it all without complaint.

And yet, at the end of the day, none of it seemed to be enough.

"What should I do? What should I do to win your heart, Brother Lail?" Holding her painful chest, she tearfully whispered in desperation.

"What? Rong Li lost a limb? How did that happen?" Wen Wan was anxious with worry.

Rong Li was considered as one of the promising students of the Sealand Academy. In the upcoming Competition of the Seven Academies, he was chosen as the representative of the second years.

If he met an accident at this juncture, then the Sealand Academy was bound to lose face.

"It appears an accident occurred as they were surrounding the magical Worge. While saving Teng Wang, he got implicated." The elder's face was haggard and pale, looking close to passing out as he related the events.

From his current appearance, it was obvious that he too placed the hope of regaining their academy's prestige on the promising apprentice. 

"Why are you not taking me to him, then? Where is he?" Without waiting for the elder to respond, Wen Wan dashed into a corridor with the fruit in her hand, shuffled around, before returning in a hurry.

A small brown sack was tied around her waist, a medicinal box in her hands.

"Let's go!" Pulling roughly on the elder that was close to breaking down, she went out of the work cabin.

Princess Qamari watched everything with indifferent eyes. 

'Rong Li?'

She remembered meeting the guy 6 months ago. On the first day she entered the academy.

But the moment she began taking her lessons and going to the Building of Knowledge, she never saw the second year senior again.

In fact, the instant her lessons began, she had no time for anyone but herself. 

She wanted to grow stronger at the fastest speed possible. For that, she cut off any interaction or communication with those around her, including her course-mates.

It was not something that she minded. After all, she was never a people person to begin with.

"But is it the same person?"

Sighing in resignation, she went after her Master.

Whether it was the same person or not, as the apprentice of the Medical Director, her presence was necessary.

Princess Qamari passed many cascading palaces of gems, starfishes and goldfins swirling around her, as she entered the Second Division's Medicine Hall.

Divided into Outer and Inner Hall, the building was designed in the same fashion as the First Division Medicine Hall, with red-green mosaics of plants and herbs adorning its walls.

Evaluations and observations for illnesses and injuries were conducted in the outer hall, while treatment rooms, work cabins, and medicinal stores were in the inner hall.

The moment she entered the outer building, the rancid stench of rotting flesh immediately wafted to her sensitive nostrils, bringing a frown to her perfect features.

"Move aside, move aside! There is nothing to see here, move aside!"

The inner hall was crowded. Second and third year students in red and white, surrounding the place as they peered into the treatment room with curiosity. 

Many second years were trying, and failing miserably, to keep away the curious students. 

However, as Rong Li was practically a legend for his year, whether good or bad, the attention he garnered was not small.

"Please, move aside. Give some room, give some room!" The second year was practically pleading now as he desperately continued to get the students to clear some room.

It was in this atmosphere that Princess Qamari silently glided into the Medicine Hall's inner building, her ethereal and graceful presence instantly grabbing everyone's attention.
