CHAPTER 126 - IT'S A CRIME

The Royal Magic Academy's 'Faculty Assemble' could be considered one of the major annual events in the Magic Academy.
On that day, not only did all the students of the Royal Magic Academy have to return to the academy, but the Fighting and potion Department would also present their achievements over the year in magic combat and potion development to the public.
The Potion Association and the Fighting Association were well prepared for this demonstration day.
The students had washed their school uniforms with a little magic, and even Qi Gubian was reprimanded by Mentor Mei Li to put on a new green magic cloak!
The three members of the 13th Potion Team had eaten breakfast and gathered in the central square first, where the results of the theoretical and practical examinations of the previous two days had been announced.
Gu Feng was sweating profusely as he squeezed into the crowd. And after he saw the results, he shouted in the crowd with joy, "Yun Sheng, you scored first in the Basic Potion Class, in top ten in the Beginner Magic Class, and you also made it into the top twenty in Magic Combat, your overall score was third in both departments."
Although Cang Song acted as the examiner of the Magic Combat examination, the other examiner had been Feng Kuo.
So even though Cang Song was dead set on giving Yun Sheng the lowest score, the score shot up again because of Feng Kuo.
When Cang Song expressed his dissatisfaction, Feng Kuo eyed him and roared, "I'm just correcting, what's wrong with that? Or do you want to compete with me?"
Cang Song gave no reaction after being shouted at, and could only stare dryly. He wouldn't dare to confront Feng Kuo.
Because of this, while the students from the Fighting Department looked like they had a terrible toothache, the students from the Potion Department gloated.
The results of the 13th Potion Team, this time, were quite great. The results of Qi Gubian in the Basic Potion exam were average, but his result in the Combat exam was something that even Cang Song couldn't pick out any half-hearted faults, and ranked thirteenth overall. Even Gu Feng, who had always been the end of the tail, scored fifty-first in both departments.
The 13th Potion Team finally washed away its title of rock bottom.
Mentor Mei Li's face, ah, was like a blooming flower.
It was about nine o'clock in the morning, and on the central square of the Royal Magic Academy, the most anticipated event of the final exam, the Faculty Assembly, Began.
The two departments of the academy, with their respective instructors, gathered to present and display their achievements over the past academic year. It was similar to a work summary and a study report.
When Yun Sheng had studied at the Medical University in her previous life, she had enough meetings in this manner, plus, because she was so busy thinking about the refinement of the Moon God Elixir these past few days that she almost fell asleep. So, she didn't listen for long before she involuntarily entered a meditative state.
This short meditation, however, unexpectedly caused big trouble for Yun Sheng.
She didn't hear a word of what the two mentors were saying.
It wasn't until Gu Feng beside her gave her a push that Yun Sheng woke up, only to see everyone around her kneeling on the ground, except for herself, who was still standing upright.
In the square, hundreds of gazes were staring at her.
On the elevated platform, the instructors of the Royal Magic Academy, including Mentor Mei Li and Feng Kuo, were all looking down at her worriedly.
There were also several pairs of sneering eyes looking over.
One teenager stood in the middle of the platform. At first glance, he gave Yun Sheng a sense of déjà vu. He seemed to be about ten years old and was wearing an apricot yellow robe with a gilt four-clawed dragon pattern, and possessed a handsome face.
Standing next to the young man was Cheng Lian, exuding the air of a proud peacock.
In her heart, Yun Sheng pondered about how this person looked somewhat familiar and where exactly she had seen this person before.
"You are certainly bold, seeing the Crown Prince and still not kneeling." Cheng Lian and the others took this opportunity to shout at the side.
Turned out that after the two instructors had finished their report, the Ye Beilian who had returned to Yujing City half a month ago and rushed over.
As soon as Ye Beilian returned to the academy, he had heard about Cheng Lian and the other's grievances, who had twisted the right and wrong quite a bit.
As the president of the Fighting Association, Ye Beilian had always looked down on the Potion Department and had long wanted the department to disappear.
Today, he saw a junior student of the Potion Department who dared to openly "doze off" during his speech on stage and was furious.
Seeing a bunch of students form the Fighting Association eyeing her, Yun Sheng remembered that she was a person of the ancient times right now, but she had never really bowed or kowtowed since she came to the Wu Ji Continent.
As a modern person, she could return to heaven and kneel to her parents and elders but kneeling to pay homage to a prince who wasn't a good person only after the first glance? She was ten thousand times reluctant.
Just as Yun Sheng was wondering whether she was risking the crime of great disrespect by remaining straight, she heard an academy's guard run over at a rapid pace.
The academy's guard said in a panic, "Reporting to Your Highness, reporting to the Dean, the deputy director of the Wu Xuan Peerless Hall, Lord Qi Tian, with more than ten warriors accompanying him, is asking for an audience. Saying that he had come to observe the final exam of the Royal Magic Academy!"
As soon as this report was made, both Crown Prince Ye Beilian and the Dean of the Royal Magic Academy were shocked.
Both magic and martial arts strived for the first thing. However, ever since the establishment of the Royal Magic Academy, and especially after Crown Prince Ye Beilian enrolled in the Magic Academy, he had been using countless claims to gain various resources for the Royal Magic Academy.
The Wu Xuan Peerless Hall which had existed from the very beginning in the Great Zhou Empire as if an unmovable mountain, was quite opposed to this. So, the Wu Xuan Peerless Hall and the Royal Magic Academy were always at odds with each other, competing with each other at every chance.
This time, the Royal Magic Academy's final exam did not invite the people of the Wu Xuan Peerless Hall, but now they stood before the gates. It was obvious that they did not have good intentions.
In these circumstances, Prince Ye Beilian, who had been about to get angry just now, pressed his anger down and put on a dignified face.
"Let's forget the formalities, the Royal Magic Academy is this crown prince's alma mater, there is no need to pursue this matter. Since there are distinguished guests in front of the academy's gates, this crown prince, as a student of the academy, will entertain them with the utmost hospitality." Ye Beilian waved his hand.
On the side, Cheng Lian and the others stared at Yun Sheng fiercely.
Hearing Ye Beilian's hypocritical tone, Yun Sheng laughed coldly in her heart, but this incident also saved her from having to kneel.
Suddenly Yun Sheng remembered why she felt that Ye Beilian was somewhat familiar.
The name of the Great Zhou Empire's prince is Ye Beilian. His facial features were also somewhat similar to that of Ye Beiming.
But it was only similar. When comparing the two, Ye Beiming was much better in both temperament and appearance, while this crown prince looked like a roughly processed substandard product.
Although Ye Beiming had never spoken about his identity, it was not difficult to guess from his mannerism that he came from a good background. But Yun Sheng had never thought that he was a member of the Great Zhou Empire's imperial family.
Thinking about Ye Beiming, Yun Sheng could not help but wonder in her heart, 'that twisted fellow should have healed by now'.
Yun Sheng was lost in thought again. While on the other side, the dean of the Royal Magic Academy had already gone to greet the people of the Wu Xuan Peerless Hall.
