Chapter 9: The Heart of Entanglement

"Ah, it is truly enviable that Mingxi has such grace and temperament," Kaier said, taking my hand. "Wow, even the skin is as tender as a baby's. This hardly resembles a pair of hands trained in martial arts; you are truly a favored child of the God of Light."

"Isn't your father also my father?" Mingxi retorted without reservation, "You know you can't accomplish anything, yet you dare to threaten me? Do you believe I won't just walk away right now? Don't forget, Dad never explicitly stated he would help; he merely allowed you to act freely. Remember, it's you! Not us! If it weren't for that damned contract, I wouldn't even bother getting involved!"

Forget about Channing, this girl, her gaze is so strange

Thus, knowing full well that Mingxi is a magical underachiever, he still has no choice but to support Mingxi in going to Duolong for study. As for whether Carter will agree to Mingxi's entry into the prestigious martial arts department, that is another matter altogether.

It is my honor, Princess

Mingxi wiped the sweat from his brow and turned back, looking towards the spot where he had just placed Channing. He discovered that Channing was gone. As he looked around, he saw him mingling with that group of friends, and instantly, he was filled with anger.

Really? Mo Feite was pleasantly surprised, "If there are any issues later, feel free to come to me for discussion." He had never considered that Mingxi, the daughter of the Prime Minister, would go to the Martial Arts Department. Even though she possessed strange physical skills, she was still a noble lady who needed to marry and should present a gentle and delicate image.

"Just call me Kaier, you can call yourself Mingxi..." Kaier suddenly said upon seeing Mingxi, as if recalling something. "Ah, have I seen you somewhere before?"

Puh, cough! Mingxi suddenly spat it out and then began to cough violently, pointing at the newcomer while coughing, "You, you... cough cough, who is it... cough..."

There is no need to be so polite, it is my honor to meet you. You won't find anyone with a more noble pure bloodline than you in the entire mainland Kelly said, casting an ambiguous glance at Carter

"What a pity." Mo Feite tilted his head slightly in a gesture of regret, pouting like a wronged little dog, and it was clear that he could hear a noble lady gasping behind him

This is the version of the origin agreed upon by Mingxi and Channing. Previously, I thought that as long as it wasn't Channing digging three feet into the ground, there wouldn't be any loopholes. Now, hearing it from Carter, it sounds more like a myth. Mingxi secretly sweats; indeed, I am still an honest child, pure and kind, who does not lie.

Without overthinking, Mingxi stepped forward and reached out to grasp his hand

Looking into Channing's eyes again, he could no longer maintain a calm gaze; even the hands hidden in his long sleeves were trembling.

What exactly does this "care" entail? Forgive my unclear thoughts; in my hometown, care can take many forms

To the discerning observer, this resembles the way in which the siblings support each other and stand united against a common enemy

I might indeed be a favored child of the divine, but whether that deity is the God of Light remains to be verified, clearly enduring Kelly's caress while secretly harboring resentment.

It seems you are quite popular

Well then, first of all, stop associating with those dubious friends of yours! Even if you can't fit into the circle of the older brothers, at least try not to be as despicable as before! Secondly, I will definitely be called over to meet that princess soon, so you just stay here and admire the flowers and plants, but do not look at the princess. It would be best if you think about something else and not harbor any resentment, otherwise, I fear that I might be provoked into a fight because of you! If that happens, the princess won't die, but we will all be doomed! Do you understand?

The girl who suddenly appeared beside Channing surprised Kaeliel; being as clever as she was, she naturally recognized who the girl was, but she never expected it to be her.

Channing was taken aback, instinctively wanting to break free, but after meeting those clear eyes, he huffed and turned his head, his hand in the sleeve gripping tightly onto Mingxi's, still trembling.

Thus, Mingxi stood in the center of the garden, feeling angry and at a loss, in a daze

You!'' Channing glared, seeing Kelly and Carter smiling at each other while exchanging greetings, suddenly feeling deflated, ''Alright, alright, I will listen to you.''

An extremely intense emotion surged from Channing, stirring her heart into a chaotic turmoil, much like the melodramatic plot that had just flashed through her mind. This emotion contained a strong hatred for Kael, along with a love that had become so negligible it was almost dismissible. The two conflicting feelings intertwined, nearly overwhelming her and threatening to burst forth.

However, this scenario is not suitable

Hehe, thank you very much. Mingxi smiled and said, "It can basically be confirmed that I will be going to the Duolong Magic Martial Arts Academy, and I will need your assistance then"

I see, I truly hope you can join the Ministry of Magic, so that I can take care of you. Oh no, even if it's not the Ministry of Magic, you will still receive excellent care in other departments, as long as you are at Dolong Magic Martial Arts Academy

However, it is essential to attend the Molong Magic and Martial Arts Academy, and even Channing strongly supports this.

Kote smiled with an air of sophistication: "The princess need not be surprised. It is clear that she has lived alone on the edge of the Monster Forest. The person who took care of her in her childhood has already passed away, and she has never seen anyone like herself. To encounter Channing now and to rescue him is truly a fate ordained by heaven."

Ah, I see, in Black Sun Town I saw you defeat a Level 3 warrior and *map* book, and then I encountered you in Kachit as well, haha, we really are fated to meet

Feeling frustrated, he turned his head and discreetly tugged at Channing, who reluctantly was pulled aside by Mingxi to stand properly: "Your father should have reminded you to listen to me when you encounter problems."

Fate has guided me to meet you here again, and I truly feel an impulse to thank the God of Light. Miss Mingxi, may I have the honor of inviting you to be my dance partner at the ball later?

Just as I was able to clearly see Kelly's stunning face, a sudden jolt surged through my heart.

Regardless of the academy, all are boarding institutions, which means there are few opportunities to return home once the school year begins. Moreover, Sofia Women's Academy and Dolon Magic and Martial Arts Academy are indeed very far apart, so far that Mingxi is worried that the contract might weaken her to the point of death

She really wants to rush out and drag that bastard out for a good beating

Yale suddenly grasped the hilt of the sword and after a moment said: "She knows"

"How can you stand here now without listening to me? Woman! You are at best a magical pet, my servant! Don't think that just because you have gained my father's trust, you can ride over me. Otherwise, when I take my revenge, do you believe I will kill you?"

Ahaha. Carter laughed it off and brushed Mingxi aside.

Mingxi certainly knew what Mo Feite was thinking; she imagined the expression on that fairy-like man's face when she applied to the Martial Arts Department and couldn't help but laugh: "No problem, I will definitely come to ask you!"

Carter stood beside Kelly, waving at Mingxi. Kelly smiled regally, her beauty and grace coexisting, remaining a delight to behold as she stood there motionless

Originally, Carter had also discussed this issue with Mingxi. He hoped that Mingxi would go to Sofia Women's College to study and become a true lady. He believed that it was rare for a prime minister's family to have a daughter, and she should not be learning about fighting and killing.

"May the God of Light bless you and the Book of Fortune, esteemed Princess." Mingxi stepped forward to bow, trying to lower his head to avoid looking at Kaier.

Oh, I see. Mingxi finally managed to calm down with great difficulty. "Long time no see, is there something on your mind?"

But, that damned contract

Several noblewomen secretly laughed at the fact that this rising star in the social circle was being neglected, while Mingxi naturally found joy in her own company. She understood that being isolated in the aristocratic circle was not ideal, yet she did not wish to be drawn into the foolish disputes too early.

She only wants to take a book, armed with a weapon, find a small courtyard, read daily, practice martial arts, and occasionally have a heart-to-heart with one or two friends; beyond that, she does not care

One must take a deep breath to calm oneself, even when things are made clear.

This is a placeholder text.

A clear and gentle smile: "Yes, in the small town near the Warcraft Forest."

"If that's the case, will you listen to your father's words?"

A girl who is both beautiful and of high status indeed has its drawbacks, as it can easily provoke jealousy among noble ladies. Moreover, Mingxi herself lacks any experience in such social circles. She has no understanding of the occasional whispers about the most beautiful loli flower in the Tianqing Forest or the dual swords produced by the Fury Forge. As a result, even after a long time, Mingxi has still not been accepted by any small group.

I have no hatred, yet my heart is also in pain. Clearly, I have a grudge against this beautiful woman, so why do I have to hate her so much? Now, I even wish I could rush forward and tear her apart!

Channing certainly does not wish for clarity to die

Mofite Zhao looked at his noble lady | With an elegant bow: "I am grateful for the ladies' kindness"

Channing snorted but did not deny it, and after a while reminded, "He is also your father"

In fact, Mingxi still hopes to study at that women's academy, because she is lazy. After more than ten years as a student, she is more adept at learning from books and adhering to discipline rather than martial arts. Although she has her own specialties, that does not mean she has to rely on her martial skills for a living. The world is quite marvelous; traversing different realms is merely a novel concept, while Mingxi is currently living her life.

What? Mingxi was taken aback and took a long time to respond. "Dancing? Oh no, no, no, I just came out of the mountains and haven't taken any dance classes yet. I am very sorry, truly.

Carter reluctantly agreed not to ask any further questions, believing that clarifying her lineage would surely grant her exceptional magical talent, which would be a waste if not utilized.

He must not reveal his true intentions

"Studying is certainly necessary; as for where to go, that is a matter for my father to decide." Mingxi slightly bowed and replied with composure

Disaster! Clearly cursing inwardly, yet no longer responding outwardly, only smilingly drinking wine.

Channing had never been lectured like this by a peer, let alone someone younger than him. As he listened, his eyes blazed with anger, and it wasn't until the explanation was fully clarified that he was hurriedly summoned by Carter, still standing in place taking deep breaths

Humming a little tune with a sense of self-satisfaction while selecting exquisite pastries, she felt a sensation that could only be described as wonderful. Chewing with her mouth full and holding pastries in her hand, she leaned against the edge of the table, her eyes wide open as she observed the myriad of life at the banquet, secretly comparing it to the differences with ancient China

"I wonder if Miss Mingxi will be attending the academy?" Mo Feite suddenly remarked, then fixed his gaze intently on Mingxi

The newcomer looked at the crumbs of snacks that had splattered onto him, nearly unable to maintain a gentle smile. He took a deep breath, then another: "Do you not remember me? I am Mo Feite, we met in Kaqite Town."

Ah, I see. The light in Mo Feite's eyes sparkled, "They are quite interesting, those two."

"Miss Mingxi?" A familiar voice came from behind. Mingxi turned her head and found herself gazing into a pair of eyes filled with unspoken emotions.
