Chapter 547: Chapter 547

"Zhou!" Zhou Qing had just walked out of the main hall when he heard Lu Yaoyao’s excited shout.

He looked up, only to see Lu Yaoyao waving vigorously at him and then joyfully jogging over.

Zhou Qing had to quell the gloom in his heart, force a smile, and ask Lu Yaoyao confusedly, "Master Lu should have a class today, why are you here?"

Lu Yaoyao’s face was flushed, and her voice trembled with excitement, "An important guest arrived at the academy today, didn’t you notice everyone running outside?"

Zhou Qing was stunned, and then he began to pay attention to the commotion around him.

Sure enough, people were scrambling to get outside, murmuring amongst themselves as they ran.

"Who arrived?" Zhou Qing asked.

Lu Yaoyao grabbed Zhou Qing’s arm and pulled him outside, "They are acquaintances, you’ll know soon enough, we have to hurry, or we won’t see them."

The two arrived at the Outer Courtyard, where it was already teeming with people, with no space to move.

Zhou Qing and Lu Yaoyao, dressed in red Inner Courtyard robes, managed to squeeze to the front due to their special status.

When they saw the arriving guests, they were stunned.

In the center of the school grounds stood an attractive man with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, speaking eloquently.

He wore lavish clothing, a long robe embroidered with a golden dragon swaying lightly in the breeze, and a gemstone-encrusted jade belt around his waist.

His gaze carried innate authority and confidence, displaying the unique aura of royalty in his every move.

Beside him was a woman with black hair dressed in a pink palace gown, occasionally smiling with dimples that made her look pure and inviting.

These two are none other than the Seventh Prince Xuanyuan Yichen and the Ninth Princess Xuanyuan Muqian.

Accompanying them was Ke Shu, the sole son of the Mansion Master of Vast Mansion, following behind with a forced smile.

Though he was dressed impeccably in a brocade robe, he couldn’t help but be overshadowed by the prince and princess.

At this moment, all disciples, whether from the Inner or Outer Courtyards, were gazing at them with reverence and a touch of flattery.

After all, the status of these three was beyond their ordinary reach.

"Why have they come?" Zhou Qing wondered aloud.

After breaking through to the Divinity Transformation Realm, Senior Brother Ghost Mastiff planned to visit the royal capital to probe the situation. He delayed his journey upon meeting some like-minded prodigies along the way.

Eventually, he did proceed to the royal capital.

"Xuanyuan Yichen is still at the Great Perfection Cultivation of the Nascent Soul Realm and hasn’t broken through, but he’s already begun to grasp some Realm," Zhou Qing mumbled to himself.

At this moment, Ninth Princess Xuanyuan Muqian spotted Lu Yaoyao in the crowd, her eyes brightened instantly.

With a face full of surprise, she hurriedly ran over.

This scene aroused curious glances from many.

Seeing the Ninth Princess’s action, Xuanyuan Yichen looked her way, also noticing Zhou Qing alongside Lu Yaoyao.

He paused slightly, revealing a gentle smile and followed the Ninth Princess.

"Yaoyao, why are you here?" Xuanyuan Muqian asked excitedly, her voice filled with reunion joy.

Back in the Taiqing Sect, Lu Yaoyao had taken good care of her. Being the same age and having similar personalities, they quickly became close friends. Check latest chapters at novel✦fire.net

Though Lu Yaoyao had a peculiar habit of dragging her to Little Spirit Peak for unknown reasons.

Luckily, Seventh Imperial Brother didn’t miss any duel against the Taiqing Sect’s peak leaders.

Lu Yaoyao was equally excited. In her heart, Xuanyuan Muqian was her secondary mother noted in her booklet, holding significant importance.

The three suspects she had held substantial possibilities.

"I came here to study. Why are you here?" The two girls met and excitedly clasped each other’s hands.

Before Xuanyuan Muqian could speak, Seventh Prince Xuanyuan Yichen looked at Zhou Qing, greeting warmly, "Zhou, it’s been a long time. I heard your wounds healed, that’s wonderful!"

Zhou Qing cupped his hands and replied with a smile, "Just lucky."

During the Four Flowers Gathering at the Crown, this Seventh Prince joined the seekers, while Zhou Qing pretended to be in secluded Body Refining and didn’t show himself.

At present, everyone present whispered among themselves, speculating about Zhou Qing and Lu Yaoyao’s identities as Inner Courtyard students.

In their view, being familiar with the Prince and Princess suggested extraordinary backgrounds.

Seeing this, Xuanyuan Yichen smiled slightly, suggesting, "This place is crowded and noisy; how about we find somewhere quieter to talk."

Zhou Qing nodded, and they left the school grounds heading to a silent place.

In an exquisite pavilion surrounded by lush trees and blooming flowers, the breeze carrying fragrant scents.

They sat in succession, with Ke Shu eagerly pouring tea for them.

This visit from the Prince to Vast Mansion was a chance his father specifically instructed him to seize.

Now, seeing Zhou Qing and Lu Yaoyao familiar with the Prince, he had to measure his actions carefully.

Ke Shu especially felt a sense of familiarity with Zhou Qing but couldn’t recall where they had met.

During their conversation, learning Zhou Qing was studying Array in Vast Mansion, Xuanyuan Yichen’s admiration grew.

The art of Array was profound, and without talent, it was tough to master.

"By the way, why did you suddenly come to the White Jade Taixu Courtyard?" Zhou Qing asked curiously.
