Chapter 988: Turning Into A Deer (II)
Moongaze Lake.
The grand hall atop Pingya Island was empty and spacious. A few cultivators hurried by as Li Jiangqian descended the broad steps at a brisk pace. His features had matured over the past two years, and he moved swiftly down the staircase while several attendants stumbled after him.
"Your Highness!"
The two men were elderly, with completely white hair. Judging by their robes, they were scholarly tutors. But Li Jiangqian moved with the energy of youth, slipping beneath the arms of the palace guards in a flash and leaving the older men far behind.
They had no choice but to stop, sighing in resignation.
Now that Li Jiangqian was older, he had grown tired of basic lectures. Skipping lessons had become a habit. When they saw the direction he was taking, it was obvious he was going to find Li Quewan. Since they weren’t permitted into the inner hall, the tutors had no choice but to stop there.
"In the past, we praised His Highness for his intelligence... How did he lose interest in learning now? It’s Quewan who studies well, full of virtue and diligence..."
"Indeed..."
The two sighed again and retreated. Meanwhile, Li Jiangqian had dashed all the way into the hall and pushed the heavy doors open with a loud creak.
The desks inside were neatly arranged, and the books on the shelves lined up perfectly. As the door opened, golden sunlight poured in, bathing the girl before him in warm light.
