2801 The Current Number One Blackie
The Holy Son Miyan seethed with anger, his eyes flashing with a harsh radiance.

His piercing gaze swept over Mo Lian, Duan Yue, Feng Chen, and the others before finally fixing on the stoic Crown Prince.

His stare felt like icy needles penetrating the young prince’s body, emanating an intense coldness and curiosity.

Dean Yun furrowed his brow and stepped forward, positioning himself between the students and Holy Son Miyan. He met the irate gaze and inquired, “What brings Holy Son Miyan to our school today?”

“I have come to deliver a message to the Divine Province’s crown prince,” Holy Son Miyan replied, his demeanor now back to its usual tranquility, as though the recent altercation had never occurred.

“Our shrine’s Great Divine Priest recently discovered a potential activation of the secret realm within the rear mountain. It seems that this activation may happen earlier than expected.”

Miyan’s cold gaze fell upon Crown Prince Mo’s impassive countenance, searching for any reaction, but to his dismay, there was none.

“I’ve come to inform both of you and to convey the High Priest’s wishes,” he continued.

“This time, with the Lunisolar secret realm activation, the shrine plans to allocate 30 spots to the Imperial Academy. Dean Yun, we hope for your cooperation in selecting the most promising talents.”

“Upon obtaining the jade tablet, you will be able to enter the secret realm with the Holy Daughter and shrine personnel to search for treasures. Each participant is allowed to retrieve one treasure from the secret realm, while the rest must be surrendered to the shrine.”

Dean Yun nodded faintly, his thoughts already in motion.
The Lunisolar Shrine’s secret realm had a history of opening every ten years, a well-established tradition.

However, in the past, whenever the Lunisolar secret realm opened, the shrine took strict measures to prevent outsiders from infiltrating.

/Yet, this time, their approach seemed surprisingly generous./

/Although, ‘generous’ might not be the most accurate term./

Inside the secret realm, each student from the academy could only claim a single item. Anything beyond that had to be surrendered.

Nevertheless, it was still a significant opportunity to accompany them inside, gain practical experience, and potentially acquire valuable treasures along the way.

The scholars from the academies couldn’t hide their satisfaction as they nodded and spoke to the Dean, “Dean, this is a beneficial development.”

Dean Yun, after considering the advantages and disadvantages, also nodded, saying, “Indeed, this is good news. Thank you, Holy Son.”

Miyan’s Holy Son nodded in response. “During the talent selection process, I intend to personally assess the capabilities of these students. They might need to stay for a while, Dean Yun. I hope you don’t mind accommodating them.”

Dean Yun agreed and signaled for two individuals to arrange lodging for the shrine’s personnel.

“No need for such trouble,” remarked the Miyan Holy Son casually before turning his attention to Mo Lian. “I’ll be staying at the residence of the Divine Province’s Crown Prince. It should have ample space to accommodate the shrine’s members.”

/Her arrogance knows no bounds!/

Qi Xuanxuan, Little Fatty, and their companions all harbored critical thoughts.

Without allowing the Crown Prince to respond, the composed young individual gave an affirmative nod. “A hundred thousand for a day’s rental, and not a penny less!”

Instantly, everyone was taken aback, their equilibrium nearly lost.

/Didn’t you just accuse the Dean of being ruthless?/

“Young lady, you’ve set the new standard for ruthlessness!”

One of Miyan’s attending priests had been containing his simmering anger for a while. Now, hearing the young woman’s words, he couldn’t hold back any longer. “What did you just say?”
