“I’m so fed up with you. Fine. Your request is granted.” The crown prince feigned an impatient tone.

Feng Wu was thrilled. She had never expected Jun Linyuan to be so easily persuaded. The guy must be in a great mood today. Yes. Today was her lucky day.

After the order was given —

“What?!”

Mu Yaoyao’s head went blank after she heard the news.

She stared at the new head of World Tower in disbelief. “Why can Feng Xun leave? No, I mean, I understand why Young Lord Feng can leave, but why Jin Yuntao and those two? I won’t accept it!”

Lou Yue, the new head, had been warned by Feng.

She knew perfectly well how Lou Yun had lost her job, and she was going to make sure that she chose the right side — that was, Feng Wu’s side.

As for someone like Princess Mu Yaoyao, that was a different story.

Lou Yue smiled. “I’m sorry, Princess Mu, but I’m only following orders here.”

“I won’t accept it! Where’s Master Lou Yun? Why are you here?” Mu Yaoyao was flustered.

Lou Yue was smirking inwardly. Lou Yun? She was long gone.

Lou Yue said calmly, “Master Lou Yun has been transferred to another post. From now on, I’m in charge of World Tower. Moreover, we have informed the Mu family of what is going on here. I believe that your family will soon arrive to pick you up.”

She then went up to Jin Yuntao and his friends. This time, her tone was very affable and she smiled warmly. “Mr Jin, you’re free to go.”

After Lou Yue saw them off, Jin Yuntao and the other two were still eyeing one another in bewilderment. Their heads were spinning.

Especially Ye Zhou and Yuan Ming, who had feared that the school would learn about this and expel them. As it turned out —

The problem had been solved just like that.

“By the way, here are some gifts for you. We apologize for putting you all through this, so please accept this as compensation.”

The three gifts were wrapped exquisitely, which indicated how valuable they were.

“This…” Jin Yuntao hesitated and didn’t dare accept it.

Were they trying to set him up?

He couldn’t be so lucky!

Lou Yue smiled. “Three young masters, please accept the gifts. They’re just a little something for World Tower having kept you here for such a long time.”

This was the new head of World Tower.

Lou Yun, the previous one, had been so haughty and unapproachable, but wasn’t this one a little too friendly?

Jin Yuntao and the other two eyed one another in utter confusion.

However, he would never dare refuse a gift from World Tower.

He was talking to a figure that even his father would treat with great respect.

Jin Yuntao had no choice but to take the so-called compensation with both hands.

Ye Zhou and Yuan Ming followed suit.

They were still a little dizzy when they left World Tower.

Ye Zhou asked, “We were cut loose, just like that?”

Yuan Ming asked, “We came out without a scratch?”

Jin Yuntao scratched his head. “… I think so?”

Ye Zhou and Yuan Ming turned to Jin Yuntao in bewilderment. “What on earth happened? Did your family talk to World Tower or something?”

Jin Yuntao smiled bitterly. “My family is alright, but we’re nobody compared to all the influential clans in the imperial capital. My dad is the highest ranking official in my clan, but even he isn’t important enough to meet the head in person, not to mention —”

“Not to mention that His Royal Highness gave the order himself. No one would be bold enough to defy him.” Jin Yuntao gave them a wry smile.

“Who else could it be? How about Miss Feng Wu?” Ye Zhou suggested. “Could Miss Feng Wu have pleaded to His Royal Highness for us? It’s possible. She’s so beautiful…”

Jin Yuntao and Yuan Ming gave Ye Zhou a “you idiot” look.

Ye Zhou recanted after another thought. “No, that can’t be it. Miss Feng Wu doesn’t have any cultivation ability. There’s no way that His Royal Highness… He’s too superior for any mortal girl.”

Jin Yuntao and Yuan Ming nodded in unison.

If Feng Wu hadn’t had that mishap five years ago, maybe she would be a suitable companion for His Royal Highness, but now… sigh.

Yuan Ming said, “Miss Lou Yue was so kind to us, I don’t think she’d set us up. Plus, compared with the great World Tower, what can we possibly have that’s worth setting us up for?”

Ye Zhou nodded happily. “You’re right. Can we unwrap the gifts now? I really want to know what it is!”

After that, Yuan Ming and Ye Zhou opened the boxes eagerly.

When they saw what was inside —

“OMG!” Yuan Ming cried out in surprise.

In the boxes were some big, round, and smooth spiritual stones that were very dense in spiritual essence!

Yuan Ming’s eyes widened. “A- are they medium-grade spiritual stones?”

Ye Zhou snapped, “Are you blind? How can they be medium-grade? They’re top-grade!”

Moreover, they had been given three stones each!

“Holy shit! I remember that only the student with the highest mark in the final exams is awarded a top-grade spiritual stone, right?”

“You can’t buy them just anywhere. Their prices are exorbitantly high in auction houses!”

“And we were given three each…”

“World Tower is indeed as rich as it’s said to be…”

The three of them didn’t think much of it. They went off to cultivate together shortly afterward.

Mu Yaoyao saw Lou Yue walk Jin Yuntao out, but she didn’t know that the three teenagers had gone off with gifts. If she did, she would probably get a stroke.

On the fifth floor.

Jun Wuxia’s face was livid.

Feng Xun was gone and so were Jin Yuntao and his friends. However —

She, a royal princess, was still here!

She jumped to her feet!

However, she was stopped at the door.

Feng wasn’t here. He didn’t need to be around for such a petty task.

Lou Yue was the one who stopped Jun Wuxia.

“Go away!” Jun Wuxia yelled at Lou Yue. “How dare you block my way! I’m going to kill you!”

Jun Wuxia wouldn’t try to leave if Feng Xun, Jin Yuntao, and the other two hadn’t left, but now, she felt humiliated!

She was sure that her brother didn’t know about this. Those servants were behind this.

Lou Yue looked at Jun Wuxia and said in a calm voice, “I’m sorry, Your Royal Highness, but you’re not going anywhere until someone comes to pick you up.”

“Then why could they leave?!” Jun Wuxia went scarlet with rage!

Mu Yaoyao and Ye Yafei pricked up their ears!

Lou Yue smiled. “An important figure put in a good word for them, which is why they were free to go.”

“Who was that person?!” Jun Wuxia asked hastily.
