Chapter 314 - 69 Settling Down
The Holy Academy was vast, and the accommodation was of exceptional quality. Ci Nian Nian had her own villa.
After the recent turmoil, Ci Nian Nian dared not linger outside for long and brought the two back to her villa. She also sent Xiaohui to explain things to Xiaoan, hoping to ease the tension between her and Qing Ling, as the situation truly was baffling.
"Yes, yes, my lady," Xiaohui rolled her eyes at Ci Nian Nian, appearing reluctant. "As soon as there’s trouble, I’m the one you send to sort it out. Why don’t you go yourself?"
Ci Nian Nian grabbed Xiaohui’s arm, pleading, "Please do me this favor, can’t you see I’m busy? I need to get Lu Hong settled first, and then I have to go get the permit from my mentor. Without it, Lu Hong won’t be able to stay long at the Holy Academy."
"Or how about this, you go explain to Xiaoan, and I’ll take care of arranging accommodation and the permit for Brother Lu Hong."
There, Ci Nian Nian thought she had the wrong friend, releasing the other’s arm in frustration, "Asking for a bit of help brings all this back talk? If I went, I’d surely be entangled by Kontler, and you know it."
"Then why don’t you get together with Kontler and just give me back Brother Lu Hong?" Seeing Ci Nian Nian’s face growing grim, Xiaohui knew she had gone too far and hastily added, "Yes, yes, I’ll go, alright?"
"That’s more like it," Ci Nian Nian nodded. "I’ll treat you to the Sea Sky Feast tomorrow."
"Really?!" Xiaohui exclaimed, thrilled. "You better not be lying to me."
The Sea Sky Feast was the highest standard banquet offered at the VIP Building of the Holy Academy, featuring only the finest ingredients provided by the Eagle Alliance. A single meal would cost no less than thirty thousand Gold Coins. Xiaohui only had fifty thousand for the year.
