"Your Highness."

When Shadow walked in, the first thing he saw was Baili Jia Jue's frozen position. A flash of incredulity shone through his eyes.

Was His Highness... laughing?

Since young, His Highness had always been someone who kept his feelings under wraps.

He would only sneer or laugh sarcastically, or at best, lift up a corner of his lips.

He rarely smiled like he did right now.

Did anything joyous happen today?

However, the princess consort was not around.

Shadow had no idea what was going on in his master's mind. Disregarding it for the time being, he bowed his head respectfully and knelt to the ground on one knee. "There has been a development with the crawling beast incident. We have found out that Helian Guang Yao was the one who planted his mercenaries in the academy. He wanted them to verify his suspicion that the princess consort is possessed."

"Helian Guang Yao?" Baili Jia Jue fiddled with the ring on his little finger. His eyes darkened as he said, "It's not him. I don't think he is competent enough to have a mob of crawling beasts under his control. Continue your investigation."

Shadow accepted his order and was just about to retreat when Baili Kia Kue spoke again. "Start by inspecting the people within the Academy before you move on to outsiders."

"Yes, Sir," Shadow kept his eyes averted out of respect, but his heart was in turmoil. Was His Highness suspecting that those who wanted to harm him and the princess consort was someone in the Academy? That meant that the culprit was either a student... or a teacher?

Shadow broke out in a cold sweat as he thought about this.

When he turned his head to look at his master again, His Highness had resumed his earlier position. The tips of his fingers caressed his forehead lightly, a devious chuckle making its way past his lips. Vaguely, he could be heard muttering, "She's learned to be smart this time. I see that prey should indeed be locked up for them to learn some obedience..."

At noon, Tu Sufeng lifted himself gracefully off a chair in the Underground Palace. He gazed upon the row of students in front of him with an unfathomable depth in his eyes. "The final test was not supposed to take place this early, but we have no choice as we had lost another talented member of our ranks yesterday."

"Was it because of the Bloody Snake?" asked one of the elite students who were selected from the four influential families.

Tu Sufeng glanced at him and said, "No, there was a complication at the Forest of Fantasy."

Helian Wei Wei held the Little Seventh Prince's hand as they stood in line. After hearing what the dean had said, a frown appeared on her face.

No one knew what would happen after this.

Tu Sufeng continued calmly, "Our Battle Spirit Forces need fresh blood like all of you more than ever right now. That's why the test was brought forward. I want all of you to face this test with all you have, as the stakes are high. We are no longer betting on victory or failure, but rather life and death. If you were caught by the enemies, then you would have to find a way to survive by yourself. "

While speaking, Tu Sufeng unfolded the letter in his hands and spread it out onto the wooden table, gesturing for the students to come closer and have a look.
