Chapter 2739: Ancient Skills

“Miss Qingluan, isn’t that right?” Mr. Wang smiled at Zuo Qingluan.

Zuo Qingluan didn’t know what to say.

Yes, when she came to the War Academy, she had arranged people to spread rumors about her relationship with the crown prince. However, the rumor was just that they were a couple, and never said anything about them being engaged, let alone getting married.

Mr. Wang’s question put her in a difficult spot.

She could deny the rumors if she was questioned.

She could claim that she was also a victim of the rumors and knew nothing about it.

However, if she said so now, it would be very difficult to deny what she said later.

“Miss Qingluan, isn’t that right?” Mr. Wang repeated his question.

He thought anxiously, What’s wrong with Zuo Qingluan? She told me she was His Royal Highness’s fiancee when she visited me!

Despite her frustration, Zuo Qingluan said shyly, “It’s my parents’ decision. I don’t know anything about it…”

The others knew what she was implying.

That was as good as tacit acknowledgement.

Elder Mei studied Zuo Qingluan for a long time, but he looked disappointed in the end.

“Jun Linyuan is supposed to be a clever man; why did he make such a stupid mistake? He should know better…” Elder Mei mumbled as he went back to studying the formation.

However, what he said was a hard blow to Zuo Qingluan’s ego.

Her face turned livid.

How dare that old fool humiliate me?! When I marry His Royal Highness, I’ll kill him! Zuo Qingluan thought to herself.

Elder Mei seemed to have sensed her resentment, because he suddenly looked up.

It happened so fast that Zuo Qingluan didn’t have time to hide the hatred in her eyes.

Elder Mei saw the murderous look in her eyes.

Elder Mei’s face darkened. What’s that boy thinking? Why her? I have to talk to him!

However, his top priority was the formation.

The wind formation was complicated, but Elder Mei was still able to crack it.

A few hours passed.

Suddenly!

The wind abruptly stopped.

“It’s stopped! The wind is gone!”

“Elder Mei is amazing!”

“Elder Mei is the only one who can crack it! He must be a Level 7 formation master!”

Elder Mei rolled his eyes. He had been a Level 8 formation master for a very long time already!

After that little episode, Zuo Qingluan had given up on pleasing Elder Mei. However, when she saw how capable he was, she was intrigued again and wanted to learn formation and inscription skills from him.

She recalled what her master had told her once.

The Junwu Empire was a vast country with so many talented people, but why was it so difficult for it to defeat the tiny Dongsang Kingdom? Why had they been stuck on Peace Grassland for so many years?

Formations and inscriptions. Those were the reasons.

The Dongsang Kingdom was far more advanced than the Junwu Empire in these ancient skills.
