Luo Luo was also rather distressed, saying: “I really don’t know.”
Tian Hai Sheng Xue looked towards the tightly shut windows on the second floor and suddenly said: “A promise?”
Luo Luo’s expression softly trembled, replying: “When it happens, I won’t necessarily have the ability to fulfil my promise.”
Tian Hai Sheng Xue calmly replied: “I believe in You Highness’ integrity, as long as you sincerely try to uphold your promise, I will accept it.”
Luo Luo said: “This is too unfavourable for you.”
He replied: “Using something I do not yet possess to exchange for something most worthy of pursuing, even if it only exists as a possibility for the future, it’s worthwhile.”
Luo Luo suddenly felt some sympathy for him, asking: “Why go this far?”
Tian Hai Sheng Xue laughed, seeming rather lonely, and replied: “Perhaps this is the price of maturity.”
Finishing those words, he turned and headed out of the tower.
Luo Luo watched his fading back, feeling a little maudlin.
For those born to Royal families, not all are as lucky as she.
Of course, she also had her own misfortune or perhaps difficulties; they had just yet to arrive.
Tian Hai Sheng Xue was undoubtedly a clever person.
He had used a single match in the examination in exchange for some kind of future guarantee.
As with the last words between him and Luo Luo.
Why go this far?
He had to go this far.
The wooden shutters rolled up and sunlight once again came in.
Sound once again travelled into the quiet and secluded room; the sound of Tian Hai Sheng Xue’s footsteps.
Silence.
No one knew of what Tian Hai Sheng Xue and Luo Luo had discussed and in truth, even if they had heard their conversation, they wouldn’t be able to ascertain what sort of agreement the two had come to.
Those present were all important figures with sufficient intelligence, it was just, apart from Prince Chen Liu, none of the others had Luo Luo and Tian Hai Sheng Xue’s family background and therefore had difficulty understanding their biggest fears.
Everyone only saw Tian Hai Sheng Xue’s departure, giving up on this match.
Mo Yu glanced at the two Archbishops of the Holy Church who had stern expressions upon their faces, thinking to herself that Tian Hai Sheng Xue was, in the end, surnamed Tian Hai, how could he be exploited by you? Even his father couldn’t.
Tian Hai Sheng Xue directly left the Education Palace and no longer continued to participate in the examination, since his results in the Academic Exam will at least place him within the top 5, no one would dare to place him outside of the Three Grades.
The Li Palace clergy member stood atop the stone steps and announced: “Orthodox Academy, Her Highness, Luo Luo, winning without battling.”
Winning without battling?
This incredibly attention-grabbing match between strong fighters, didn’t even proceed? Tian Hai Sheng Xue actually withdrew from the tournament? The examinees outside of the tower were all greatly startled, not knowing exactly what had happened inside the tower.
