Meng Yue Ming gnashed her teeth in anger while on the other hand, Li Shi Ying was dumbfounded. She doubted what she had just heard until she had asked Jiu Wei for confirmation.
"Hey, did you also hear what I heard?" Li Shi Ying stared at Long Ao Zhen as she communicated with Jiu Wei using telepathy.
"His highness protected you. That sentence? I heard it, as well." Jiu Wei really felt proud of Long Ao Zhen when he subconsciously stood up for Li Shi Ying even though he must have been disappointed before.
"I see..." Li Shi Ying cut the telepathy as she looked at Long Ao Zhen again, a hint of blush on her cheek.
Okay, who wouldn't feel happy when the man she loved stood up for her despite the bitter truth he just knew? She was so happy!
"B-but, but..." Meng Yue Ming's voice was shaking as she held back the tears she got from extreme embarrassment. She didn't expect Long Ao Zhen to still stand up for Li Shi Ying at all!
It's not supposed to be like this. Long Ao Zhen was supposed to hate Li Shi Ying now! Why?? Why didn't he hate that b*tch??
Author: he is obviously biased ?
Right when Meng Yue Ming was about to refute, the students below the stage suddenly became noisy, averting her attention to the students instead.
What's wrong? Why did the students become noisy?
"It's the principal!" one of the students shouted, making the rest of the students know what happened. They simultaneously opened a path for the principal.
Hearing the principal was here, Meng Yue Ming, who initially felt that she was at the edge of breaking down, suddenly felt a ray of hope coming for her.
The principal is here! This means...this means she still had hope!
The principal did come because Li Shi Ying's name was mentioned by the student who called him. It was only 5 minutes after Long Ao Zhen went away from his office when a student came bringing the bad news.
30 minutes ago at the principal's office.
"What? Li Shi Ying is Meng Yue Ming's ex-maidservant? And is now being tested in public?" the principal was really shocked when the student told him what had happened.
Li Shi Ying is a very promising student he picked by hand. He really favored this student aside from his own disciple. But now this same girl turned out to be an ex-maidservant?
Not to mention she had tried to poison her mistress, also one of the top students in the academy. This was becoming complicated!
Back to the academy battle arena.
"I have heard about the news." The principal walked to the stage as he scanned Long Ao Zhen, Li Shi Ying and Meng Yue Ming slowly.
These three were all top students in his academy. He had hoped to make them all enter as a team to represent the academy in the upcoming tournament.
Yet, how come Li Shi Ying turned out to be a maidservant. In here, family background was important. If he made Li Shi Ying as an academy representative, maybe other academies would know about this fact.
Won't his academy become a laughing stock then?
"Yes principal. This girl here is my ex-maidservant. She had tried to poison me before and ran away after she failed." Meng Yue Ming didn't say that she crippled Li Shi Ying as punishment and threw her to the grave forest to be eaten alive by the beasts there.
Meng Yue Ming's eyes were shining as she looked at the principal. The principal must know what's best for his academy. Reputation is number one for such a prestigious academy.
With him allowing Li Shi Ying to stay, he would ruin his academy's reputation!
"I..." The principal looked hesitant, even though he knew he had to expel Li Shi Ying in this case. He had seen the slave mark on Li Shi Ying's arm as the proof.
Even though he couldn't make sure of if Li Shi Ying did try to poison Meng Yue Ming before or not, just the fact that Li Shi Ying was an ex-maidservant could already be reason to expel her.
Their academy never received a slave as their student! Commoner is commoner but they weren't slaves, at least. Li Shi Ying had a slave mark, meaning she is still a slave even until this moment.
But...Li Shi Ying is a super talented girl...the academy couldn't afford to lose such a girl. This girl is truly like a double-edged sword! What should he do now?
Long Ao Zhen saw the principal's thoughts, and couldn't help but want to abuse his power so he could make Li Shi Ying stay. A pity Li Shi Ying already knew Long Ao Zhen's plan, and moved her hand signaling Long Ao Zhen to stop.
Li Shi Ying saw the principal was hesitant, so she knew the principal was reluctant to let her go. This means...she just had to make a way out for the principal so he could have an excuse not to expel her.
"Principal, our world respects the strong, so how about I prove I deserve to be in this academy despite my identity as a slave? If I'm strong enough for that I won't need to be expelled."
Li Shi Ying confidently issued a challenge to make her stay! What would be the challenge?
Meng Yue Ming gnashed her teeth in anger while on the other hand, Li Shi Ying was dumbfounded. She doubted what she had just heard until she had asked Jiu Wei for confirmation.
"Hey, did you also hear what I heard?" Li Shi Ying stared at Long Ao Zhen as she communicated with Jiu Wei using telepathy.
