Chapter 71
It was unknown how much time had pa.s.sed. Just as Su Han was about to finish his cup of tea, the sound of footsteps suddenly came from outside.
Soon after, Shen Fa, who was wearing a black robe, walked in.
His long golden hair was disheveled, and he looked much more dignified than when they first met.
His face was rosy and l.u.s.trous, and he held a walking stick in his hand. He looked very exquisite and beautiful.
It seemed that his senior brother cared more about his image as the princ.i.p.al.
Su Han wanted to stand up and greet him, but suddenly, a beautiful figure appeared outside the door.
It was the Empire's Princess, Lilia.
She was dressed in a gorgeous silk dress. She was tall and slender, had a pretty face, and had an extraordinary temperament. Anyone who saw her would have a favorable impression of her.
The warm sunlight shone through the door onto her face and skin that even an angel would be jealous of, refracting a sparkling l.u.s.ter.
In the haze, there was a stunning beauty.
This scene formed a perfect picture.
"Junior brother, this is the Empire's Princess, Lilia," Shen Fa introduced with a bright smile on his face.
"You… h.e.l.lo, Princess Lilia."
Su Han was stunned by the princess' beauty. He was stunned for a few seconds before he came back to his senses and greeted her.
"Your Highness, this is my junior brother. He is my… teacher's new disciple, Su Han."
Shen Fa introduced him to the princess.
His teacher was a taboo to the royal family and he had almost forgotten about it.
"h.e.l.lo, Su Han."
Lilia smiled and asked Su Han. She was very friendly and did not mind the words of Shen Fa.
If Lilia really took Shen Fa as her master, she would be Su Han's martial nephew.
It was a little rude to be called by his name, but such an att.i.tude from Lilia did not make people feel the slightest disrespect or offense. On the contrary, it made people feel very restrained.
After all, who could loathe the princess? She had outstanding talent, beautiful looks, an extraordinary temperament, and had an unlimited future.
However, Su Han didn't really like the term martial uncle. He was only a dozen years old, and calling him martial uncle made him too old.
"My dear child, you're finally here." Shen Fa saw Lilia, and his eyes were filled with undisguised admiration. "It seems that you've been more outstanding than I imagined these years."
"This is because of your blessing," Lilia said softly.
"There's no need to talk about this between us." Shen Fa looked at Lilia and directly said, "My child, are you willing to become my disciple?"
He spoke very directly and made a request to Lilia.
"Child, please believe me."
"From now on, the Empire will think that it's up to you to become even more glorious!"
Shen Fa looked at Lilia fervently, somewhat ignoring Su Han.
However, Su Han did not mind. After all, he
The reason why Lilia returned to Saint Laurent City was because she wanted to acknowledge him as her teacher. After the two of them made a simple promise, Lilia formally acknowledged Shen Fa as her teacher.
Just like that, Su Han became the imperial princess' martial uncle.
…
At the entrance of the academy, in the recruitment square in front of the overpa.s.s.
The recruitment was still ongoing.
One by one, students came forward to receive the test of their magic talent.
Very soon, it was the turn of a luxuriously dressed youth to come forward.
He followed the teacher's request and placed his hand on the magic stone tablet that could be used to a.s.sess talent. Very quickly, the stone tablet gave a feedback.
A yellow light flashed and occupied one-third of the magic stone tablet's area.
Teacher Zhao glanced at it and said, "Earth element high-grade magic talent."
As soon as the results were out, the nervous young n.o.ble immediately smiled. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and then looked around with great satisfaction.
The students waiting for the test in the surroundings all looked at him with envy.
This made the n.o.ble youth even more satisfied.
However, just as his eyes swept past a plain-dressed youth, his smile gradually disappeared.
This plain-dressed youth, although his clothes were very old, were washed very cleanly. His figure was handsome and his appearance was out of this world. What was even more eye-catching was his pair of eyes. They were bright and firm, causing people to have a good impression of him.
However, the young n.o.ble named Carlos did not have any good impression of him.
Instead, he looked at the young man in disgust.
What right did a lowly servant have to come to the magic academy?
What right did he have to be so indifferent?
For some reason, Carlos, who obviously did not care much about his half-brother, could not suppress the disgust in his heart every time he saw him.
Especially at this time.
So he went forward and could not help but say, "Ron, how dare you come in front of me?"
The plain-looking young man named Ron glanced at Carlos and ignored him.
'How dare you ignore me!'
Carlos became even angrier and shouted, "You cheap b.a.s.t.a.r.d! Your maidservant mother seduced my father! You stole father's one hundred gold coins and still dare to come to Saint Laurent Magic Academy. Do you still think that you can successfully enter the academy?"
"I'm telling you, it's impossible!"
"I must tell Father to bring you back and break your legs!"
After saying this, some of the students around looked at Ron with disdain.
A servant girl seduced the master of the family and gave birth to a b.a.s.t.a.r.d.
Now, he even secretly took money from the family.
Such a character was really disgusting!
Many n.o.ble children quickly distanced themselves to avoid being misunderstood as Ron's companions in the city.
As for Ron, he could not help but clench his fists in the face of Carlos' angry roar.
However, he did not argue with Carlos. Instead, he said in a deep voice, "Of course, I came here because I want to join the Saint Laurent Magic Academy!"
"With just you?"
"A lowly servant wants to join the Saint Laurent Magic Academy? How delusional!" Carlos said mercilessly.
"Whether it's a delusion or not, it's not up to you!" Ron said indifferently.
Then, looking at Carlos' angry face, he suddenly said with interest, "How about we make a bet?"
"What bet?"
"We'll bet on whose talent is higher. If my talent is higher than yours, you'll withdraw from the Saint Laurent Magic Academy. If you win, I'll withdraw from the Saint Laurent Magic Academy. How about it? Do you dare to bet, my good brother?"
Ron emphasized the word 'good brother'.
With Ron's calm tone and such a bet, it was obvious that he had something to rely on.
Under normal circ.u.mstances, anyone could see that something was wrong.
However, Carlos seemed to have been blinded by anger. He did not notice this at all and immediately agreed.
"Let's bet!"
"I want you to know that a place like the Saint Laurent Magic Academy is not a place where someone with your status can enter!"
