Catastrophe Love
Yunshu Academy Zhaoze city

Shen Jinglong was thinking hard behind his desk after returning from the previous empress Yun's residence. On hearing eunuch Ye say that finally Yunshu Academy has announced the opening of new student enrollment a few months starting from today, the man thought about who he would send to enter the Yunshu academy.

In the bodies of his son, Shen Qingtian, Shen Du, Shen Shiya, and Shen Chengyi alone had quite concentrated elemental marks. It added on when she found out from Empress Yun that her daughter Shen Xueyue had also displayed a very concentrated elemental mark on her ankle. While his two daughters Shen Jia and Shen Lingling, they had marks that were not so concentrated yet visible if they also had the potential to cultivate their elemental strength.

Does he have to send all his children?

Given that Yunshu Academy was only open once every twenty years, he could not act rashly. If he hadn't sent his children from this moment, then when else?

When Shen Jinglong was busy with his thoughts, Shen Qingtian and Shen Xueyue were present to visit. Hearing that the doorman announced his second arrival, Shen Jinglong raised his face staring at the entrance with a glare of my eyes in exhaustion.

"Greet His Majesty the King. Father." Shen Qingtian and Xueyue spoke together.

Shen Jinglong nodded, "Hm... Is there anything you want to say?"

"Yes, Dad. It's about the entrance exam to the Yunshu academy." Xueyue frowned confusedly, she muttered calling out the 'Yunshu Academy' in a soft voice glancing at her brother full of question marks. Shen Qingtian added, "Hamba wants to ask Father's permission to let Servant take the exam."

Shen Jinglong took a deep breath, puffed his chest and stared flatly at Shen Qingtian then Xueyue. The man asked, "Who would want to take the entrance examination of Yunshu academy? Have you asked the other three princes?"

"Shen Du certainly wanted to follow him. Prince Shen Shiya and Prince Shen Chengyi, will definitely come along because they wanted it a long time ago."

"Hm..." Shen Jinglong muttered in understanding. His sons Shen Shiya and Shen Chenyi already wanted him to be able to enter the Yunshu academy when it would open in a few more years. After they heard about the founding history of Yunshu Academy which would appear once every twenty years by word of mouth and some books, he said, the two asked him to let them take the exam if one day the college was reopened.

Of course after knowing that within the next few months the registration cycle of entering the Yunshu academy would reappear, they were immediately eagerly looking forward to it.

Yunshu Academy is one of the most famous academies that has existed since the days of the five core elements. It was the largest academy and the first academy to stand on the ground of five core elements. It can be said, that Yunshu Academy is the oldest college of all academies in the five core elements continent.

There were five academies spread across the five core elements continent. Each one appeared in each state. These five academies were established by the Nu Wu sect, Jiangshan sect, Shengyin sect, Zhiliao sect, and Baishan sect. Baishan is the Yunshu Academy. Where in the Yunshu academy, all sorts of practitioners were in one place. Unlike the academies of the other sects, such as the Nu Wu sect which only accepted magician practitioners, the Jiangshan sect of unarmed martial practitioners, the Shengyin sect of sound practitioners, and the, and Zhiliao sect practitioners of swords and weapons. The Baishan Sect had it all. Yunshu Academy was the number one sect in the entire continent of five core elements. In this academy, they were magician practitioners, sword and weapon martial practitioners, bare-handed martial practitioners, sound practitioners who were where to rely on musical instruments or sounds, or sound practitioners, they gather in one place. Therefore, this academy has a lot of fans. Moreover, unlike the academies of the other sects, the Yunshu academy was only opened once every twenty years. And not only that, the location is very hidden and difficult to find.

During the Yunshu Academy's enrollment, the territory that became its territory, or often known as Yuncheng city, will appear mysteriously in the forest of death at the center point of the four gates of the world.

If one were to travel to a region that required them to pass through the forest of death, they could not take the straight path as doing so would cause them to be trapped into an illusion and end up with their deaths. Even the corpses of those trapped within the illusion of the forest of death would never be able to be found. That is why the forest is called the forest of death.

So, if they wanted to pass through it, they would have to take a detour so as not to get caught up in the illusory bonds of the forest of death itself. The forest of death is a fixed location of the hidden city of Yuncheng and far from ordinary human civilization. Without someone knowing the structure of the entrance of the city, one would not be able to enter or exit the death forest array.

Registration to become a student of Yunshu Academy was done directly within Yuncheng City, it was carried out three months after Yuncheng city gate appeared in the forest of death. After the three months are up, the city of Yuncheng will disappear again from human civilization. And be it humans, demons, spirits, or demons, they would not easily find the city of Yuncheng hidden behind the forest of death itself. Those who pass through the city of Yuncheng will only find the forest of death as hard as they try. Except those who know how to enter it and how to get out.

It made it possible for the Yunshu Academy disciples to be at home and not depend on their families.

Moreover, the Yunshu academy did not discriminate their degrees through the blood of the descendants from their respective families. Whoever it was, whether it was the King's son, or the official's son, either the minister's son or the commoner's son, those who had entered the Yunshu academy, were all considered equal.

If a child of the King enters the Yunshu academy, then when his foot steps into the line of the Yuncheng City area, the status of a child of the King is revoked. No servants, no employers. After the servant and master entered into the territory of Yuncheng city, their status had already changed to that of a disciple of the Yunshu Academy of Baishan sect.

"alright. Arrange a departure for you today." when Xueyue was about to open her voice, Shen Jinglong interjected, "Bring Yue'er with you. So was Shen Jia's and Shen Lingling's daughter." the man glanced at Xueyue with a mischievous sneer.

Shen Xueyue's smile was like a sunflower. His eyes lit up brightly as Shen Jinglong no longer held him in the palace.

"Thank you, dad." screeched. Shen Jinglong simply muttered in response. While Shen Qingtian could only sigh resignedly at the enthusiasm of his beloved sister.

"You can add lord Lu Guan and lord Zhu Guang to the list. They will be very useful to you." added Shen Jinglong. That made Xueyue excitedly welcome him. "Oh! What about An Nan and An Xi? You can also—"

"Dad, I'll just bring Lu Guan and Zhu Guang." Shen Jinglong was stunned, then straightened his back looking at Xueyue. As if he was asking what the reason was. Shen Xueyue again said, "Lu Guan and Zhu Guang are enough. I will ask Mother Empress to bring An Xi and An Nan back to her residence. I don't want to involve them anymore."

"Have you thought about it?" Xueyue steadily nodded, "You sure? An Nan and An Xi can be said to be your loyal servants because they have been looking after you since you were just able to crawl. While Mr. Lu and Mr. Zhu have only taken care of you for a few days."

"I'm sure of my decision, Dad." Shen Jinglong could no longer convince his youngest child of that Yun empress again. If that might have been his decision, he just had to say yes. He then nodded and looked at Xueyue's increasingly bright face.

Shen Jinglong could no longer help but laugh when he saw how happy his daughter was at the moment. Seeing how Shen Jinglong was behaving more cheerfully than the former Shen Xueyue, Shen Jinglong was increasingly reluctant to let him go far from his side. Moreover, she had just learned of her true identity as a princess.

He wanted to pamper his daughter and redeem the seventeen-year-old Xueyue by giving her whatever she wanted. But... Shen Xueyue was already unable to control her. It was time to take off the bird in the cage and let it fly freely in search of its true identity.

Without realizing it, Empress Yun was very worried about her daughter's destiny starting from today.
