Abandoned Princesses
The Storm is Coming

"Lu Mingzhi?" Qiao Rong could not help but furrow his brows as soon as he heard the name coming out of Liu Liwei. "Who?" Then his face changed into a confused face.

"Ah? You don't know who he is? Absolutely .. The commoners alone knew who Lu Mingzhi was." Ding Fanfan patted his forehead helplessly.

On the other hand, Qiao Rong was now holding back from being annoyed at hearing the sound of laughter Li Junyan had. "Haha! The beloved disciple of the biological father himself did not know! What a pity your father, ahahah!" Qiao Rong was eager to snap at the boy's head.

"The Sun King's. High cultivation. Handsome face." Zhen Mingran placed a book on his desk as he spoke. "Everybody knows who he is."

"Ekhem! I ... came from a remote area so ... " Qiao Rong tried to explain in stammering terms even though he was actually feeling very embarrassed. Is that true? What does one know who came from a thousand years ago with only the memory of a princess who was everyday confined in her own pavilion?

"Rffhttt ... " At that very instant, it was Liu Liwei's turn who couldn't help but laugh.

Qiao Rong's face was already as red as a crab because it was already embarrassed.

"Are you really going to this class?" Qiao Rong asked resolutely, putting aside the embarrassment from earlier that filled his face.

"I heard so .. I don't know what made him enter the Crescent Academy, even though he already had a teacher as great as the Sun King," Liu Liwei replied.

"Professor's coming! Professor's coming!" A student entered the classroom in a hurry while shouting. As a result, all the students now quickly sat in their seats and stopped their chatter.

An elegant white-bearded old man entered with a handsome man who was beside him. The old man was Professor Luo, if it was the man beside him, it seemed like there was no need to guess anymore.

"Lu Mingzhi saluted my friends." The guy's handsome. Qiao Rong couldn't avoid that fact, but of course compared to his fiance, Lu Mingzhi was still heavily defeated.

"Today I came to learn even more, especially from the competitors of the Sun Sect. Please take the professor's guidance and all of you." Lu Mingzhi clenched his hands together and bowed to pay his respects.

"Learn what? The whole world already knows that he's at least getting along with the Moon King." That careless Ding Fanfan's voice could be heard throughout the room. It seemed like he had unintentionally let out his thoughts.

"Ekhem! Regarding the task presented a few weeks ago, the other professors have agreed to turn it into an official event. You guys are expected to really work together and take this show seriously. Of course there will be a prize waiting for the winner." Professor Luo immediately changed the topic, perhaps fearing that Lu Mingzhi would become uncomfortable after the apocalypse just now.

The whole class was excited. Gifts from official events given by the Crescent Academy were never playful. They are just as valuable as getting a valuable lottery, especially for students who come from among ordinary people.

"Today Lu Mingzhi spoke in front of the class, to ask the professor's permission to attend this event alone." The entire class became silent because of Lu Mingzhi's words.

"S-alone?" Professor Luo was made confused by Lu Mingzhi. Meanwhile, the sound of the class became crisp back with some students whispering.

"We all know the Sun King's successor is not a weak person. But does it need to be bragged to such an extent?" Some disciples could not resist those words coming out.

The whole class was getting noisy. An unusual disciple who had even just introduced himself and had yet to sit in his chair had already asked the professor so unusual things.

"This ... " Professor Luo massaged his forehead, it seemed like after Qiao Rong came to the academy, Professor Luo's days were only filled with intense headaches. "I have to discuss it with the other professors." Lu Mingzhi simply nodded and ended up sitting on an empty chair.

The chair next to Qiao Rong.

"What did you say?!" Lu Guang's anger was piqued as soon as Elder Ye told Lu Mingzhi's departure.

"Please Your Majesty restrain anger. That kid, just wants the best for Xiaoran." Elder Ye's face was pensive. He also wanted the best for his daughter as a father. But the shackles of this status would never escape his life.

"And he precedes your lying daughter over her future! The future of the Sun Sect!" Lu Guang was disappointed, also thinking that Lu Mingzhi was very funny.

"Your Majesty ... " Elder Ye attempted to reason before Lu Guang to defend Lu Mingzhi. But before he could take action, Lu Guang had already raised his right hand. Ask Elder Ye to stop talking.

"That child, you must forget your daughter. He had to let go of everything before he became the Sun King." Lu Guang said firmly. His hands covered his eyes, but Elder Ye could tell by the slightest sight that the old man in front of him was hiding his sorrow.

"I still haven't let go of love before taking this title. And all I get is the pain of death." Lu Guang continued.

Elder Ye's face became concerned. He had known about Lu Guang's past for a long time since they were old schoolmates.

"Say, Ye Qingping, if I didn't love anyone then would I end up regretting it like this my whole life?" Lu Guang lowered his hand, and looked at Elder Ye with sadness.

"Your Majesty loves Miss Song. Nothing will change even if it has been a decade since his death. Nothing will change." Elder Ye let out sentence after sentence from his mouth in regret. But that's the truth.

"I don't want that kid to be the same as me. If this continues, one day he will regret becoming the Sun King. Your daughter, Ye Qingping, is a double-edged sword. Ye Xiaoran could have been Lu Mingzhi's power to defeat the world and shoulder the heavy burden this title had, however ...

It could be the opposite. Once your daughter cannot be saved, she will become desperate. Losing his life, forgetting his responsibilities. Just like I almost destroyed the Sun Sect first." Lu Guang smiled wryly as he recalled the times after Song Fang's death.

"But Your Majesty, a strong person is one who remains standing after a great blow that leaves them helpless. Just like you are now." Elder Ye smiled, trying to take on the positive meaning he could deduce.

"You'll never understand ... " Lu Guang looked at Elder Ye poignantly. "I can get back on my feet, because there's someone I need to protect. Even so, every night feels very sad. Many times I have dreamed of that woman, but my heart still seems to have a hollow hole that will never be filled."

"Therefore, His Majesty loves him. And that will never change. Same with my daughter, Xiaoran." Elder Ye looked back at Lu Guang sadly.
