Chapter 896: A Single Slip Revealed

Yun Luo Academy Library, outside the Meditation Room.

"What’s wrong with you, library manager? I’m here to deliver lunch for Lei Xiaoming. Why won’t you let me in?"

A tall, leggy beauty, carrying three bags filled with several lunch boxes, angrily confronted the library manager.

"Lei Xiaoming said that unless he permits, no one is allowed to enter."

The library manager responded firmly,

"Tong Lu, you’re one of the four school beauties of Yun Luo Academy. I’ve heard of you and I know why you’re bringing lunch to Lei Xiaoming. It’s nothing more than trying to curry favor with him since he awakened and became the Princess’s guard, trying to cling to his power. But you should understand that with Lei Xiaoming’s current status, if I let you in or you force your way in, neither of us can bear his wrath."

In the past, Lei Xiaoming spent all his time in the library, and the library manager looked down on him. But now, he wishes he could acknowledge Lei Xiaoming as a godfather.

This task is Lei Xiaoming’s test for him and marks the beginning of his turning fortune. He absolutely cannot mess it up.

"Wang Cuilan, don’t be ungrateful!"

The tall beauty ’Tong Lu’ exploded in anger, pointing at the library manager’s nose and cursing:

"You’re just a Fourth Rank person. When you were young, you had some looks, worked your way into the Royal City by playing to advantages, got yourself the library manager job. Do you think you’re high-class now? Offend me and I swear I’ll have you out of Yun Luo Academy and the Royal City in no time!"

The library manager ’Wang Cuilan’ was not angry at all. She shrugged and said,

"Even if you shout until the sky falls, even if you curse the library to the ground, I still won’t let you in."

"You..."

Tong Lu was anxious!

She wasn’t here to ride on Lei Xiaoming’s coattails.

The Yuan Family sought her out to deliver food to Lei Xiaoming, threatening her that if she didn’t comply, she and her family might not live to see tomorrow!

"Wang Cuilan, get out of my way! If you don’t, don’t blame me for forcing my way through, and it won’t be my fault if you get hurt."

Tong Lu lost patience and directly threatened.

Wang Cuilan looked disdainful: "Tsk, Tong Lu, you may be a Second Rank, but you’re young, just a First Realm War God. I’m already a Third Realm War God. Dare to force your way in and I guarantee I’ll smash your pretty face."

Tong Lu was speechless, realizing she wasn’t Wang Cuilan’s match.

Now it was awkward!

"How about this, you take the food to Lei Xiaoming for me, I won’t go in, is that okay?"

Tong Lu compromised.

Wang Cuilan curled her lips: "Lei Xiaoming is a big shot now, he won’t eat this simple fare, you better take it home to feed the dog."

"You..."

Tong Lu fumed, pointing at Wang Cuilan, at a loss for words, stomped her foot and said,

"Just you wait!"

Saying that, she stormed off.

Seeing this, Wang Cuilan, looking as if she’d won a battle, proudly declared towards the Meditation Room door:

"Mr. Lei, rest assured, as long as I’m here, Wang Cuilan, no one will disturb you."

No response!

Wang Cuilan didn’t mind, continued to hold her post, standing firm at the Meditation Room door like a gatekeeper.

Less than ten minutes later!

Tong Lu was back, and she brought along six people.

"Yuan Yao?"

Seeing the leading pretty girl among the six people Tong Lu brought, Wang Cuilan’s countenance changed dramatically.

Yuan Yao and Tong Lu, along with Zhuge Xiaoxiao, were among Yun Luo Academy’s four beauties.

But Tong Lu and Yuan Yao were different!

Yuan Yao was the most cherished granddaughter of Yuan Wu, the Clan Leader of the Yuan Family. With Yuan Wu’s status, Yuan Yao could basically do whatever she wanted in Yun Luo Academy and the Royal City, and very few dared to challenge her.

"Wang Cuilan, move aside!"

Yuan Yao came up to Wang Cuilan and ordered her expressionlessly.

Seeing this, Tong Lu laughed and said,

"Wang Cuilan, Yuan Yao’s grandfather Yuan Wu is the head of His Majesty the King’s think tank, wielding great power. Dare to defy Yuan Yao’s orders, and it’s not just about being expelled from Yun Luo Academy or the Royal City, but about your entire family facing annihilation."

Wang Cuilan panicked immediately, truly fearing Yuan Yao.

But upon thinking of Lei Xiaoming’s status, her courage surged up as she said,

"No matter how noble or powerful Yuan Wu’s status is, can it compete with being the Princess’s guard from the Golden Family?"

Slap!

Yuan Yao slapped Wang Cuilan’s face coldly,

"Get out, or die!"

Wang Cuilan drew a deep breath, stubbornly said,

"Unless you step over my dead body, no one is getting in there to disturb Lei Xiaoming."

"Courting death!"

Yuan Yao drew her sword and pierced Wang Cuilan’s abdomen, avoiding vital spots, coldly said,

"I’ll say it one more time, get out, or don’t blame my next strike hitting your heart!"

Wang Cuilan was dumbfounded, never expecting Yuan Yao to really make a move. The Yuan Family was utterly lawless.

She shouted,

"Mr. Lei, Yuan Yao has attacked me, stabbed me with a sword. She’s forcing her way in. Please come out, if you don’t, I might really be killed by her!"

’Lei Xiaoming’ didn’t come out!

No sound came from the Meditation Room either!

Because there was no one inside!

"Looks like Lei Xiaoming doesn’t care about your life, you placed your loyalty wrongly!" Yuan Yao taunted.

Wang Cuilan’s heart sank, feeling cold all over. If Lei Xiaoming didn’t care about her life and death, she’d not only have suffered a stab in vain but also face repercussions from the Yuan and Tong families.

"I’ll say it one last time, get out!"

Yuan Yao withdrew the sword from Wang Cuilan’s abdomen, pressing the tip against her heart, coldly said.

"I’ll go, I’ll go..."

Wang Cuilan dared not be stubborn any longer, quickly stepped aside, yielding the entrance.

"Smart choice, get lost!" Yuan Yao sneered.

Wang Cuilan fled as if her life depended on it, covering her wound.

"Kick the door!"

Yuan Yao stepped aside and ordered.

Her strength was no match for ’Lei Xiaoming’, and if she kicked the door open and got attacked by ’Lei Xiaoming’, it’d be trouble.

"Let me!"

Among the five Fifth Realm War Gods Yuan Yao brought, one stepped forward and kicked open the Meditation Room door with a bang.

Upon seeing the empty interior of the Meditation Room, Yuan Yao, Tong Lu, and the five Fifth Realm War Gods were momentarily stunned.

"Where is Lei Xiaoming? Why isn’t he inside the Meditation Room?" Tong Lu asked in confusion.

No one answered!

Yuan Yao, along with the five Fifth Realm War Gods, entered the Meditation Room, examining around. All the books on the Sacrificial Heart Imprint were neatly arranged without a trace of being read.

"Interesting!"

Yuan Yao squinted, a playful smile at the corner of her mouth, said,

"Lei Xiaoming swaggered out of the Royal Palace, asked the palace guards to summon a taxi, openly told the taxi the destination in front of the palace guards, and made such a showy arrival at Yun Luo Academy that he even thunderbolted a student, instructing Wang Cuilan to guard the Meditation Room, prohibiting anyone from entering."

"This series of actions practically screamed for attention, wanting everyone to know he was at Yun Luo Academy, wanting everyone to know he was in the Meditation Room."

"But with the Meditation Room empty, what does that indicate?"
