Chapter 513 - 340: Divine Monarch Hall Reopens
Cangmu Sect.
Above the Great Hall.
Qu Youdao and others sat in the hall looking at this month’s rankings.
"The First Institute has been underperforming for the past two months, its ranking has dropped significantly." Qu Youdao sighed: "It seems once the dean returns, it loses competitiveness."
"He’s intentionally controlling the rankings." Yan Ruxue smiled: "It seems he doesn’t want to be the one involved in the royal marriage."
"Why couldn’t it be that the First Institute simply lacks foundation?" Situ Baichuan asked.
"It can’t be mere coincidence that its foundation disappeared just as he returns, so he certainly doesn’t want to be involved in this royal marriage and hopes not to be with the Royal Princess." Yan Ruxue asserted.
"What do you think is on his mind?" Qu Youdao asked.
"Perhaps he feels unworthy?" Yan Ruxue pondered: "From various aspects, he is inferior to the Royal Princess, thus once married, he will surely be at a disadvantage.
This is not what he desires, so even though this path is a shortcut for many, he won’t take it.
Don’t be fooled by his age, he indeed has pride."
"Too pitiful." At this moment, the Immortal lamented: "He simply doesn’t want to be caught in the royal vortex, only wants to live life well, yet you all misunderstand him as prideful."
