Most of the pupils who entered the Holy Academy had an important family background, while there were also some with high talents who were brought back from small areas by the wandering Elders. The person asking the question was of the latter.
Cheng Zhuo didn’t care about the other party’s status and explained with a smile: “That woman is the most talented official daughter of the Mu’rong Clan of this generation. She is of the same generation as me and was admitted to the Imperial Academy as an exception that year.”
Then he glanced at Yu Qing Qian three and said meaningfully: “Mu’rong Jiao is also a devilish genius with three excellent talents. She is the best among the chief pupils of the Imperial Academy’s Black Palace.”
“So her origin’s so extraordinary.” The Cyan Peak pupil smiled. Most of the most talented people in the two Academies came from top family forces. This was normal.
When Yu Qing Qian heard the words ‘Mu’rong Clan’, she wondered about the relationship between Mu’rong Qing and Mu’rong Jiao.
“Mu’rong Qing is Mu’rong Jiao’s biological younger brother, but he’s more gifted in mental energy, and isn’t as good as his elder sister in other aspects. However, the relationship between the two siblings is good.” Seeing Yu Qing Qian in thought, Feng Chen guessed what she was thinking about and telepathically said to her to clear her confusion.
Yu Qing Qian cast a smile to Feng Chen—Sick Beauty was truly considerate.
A pupil from the Orange Peak looked at Cheng Zhuo and asked: “Senior Brother, there are two pupils in white clothes among the pupils from the Imperial Academy this time, do they also have some sort of important background? Otherwise, this opportunity wouldn’t have been given to them.”
The training modes of the Imperial Academy and Holy Academy were completely different, with serious differentiation of levels. The pupils of the Black Palace would be trained intensively, while the identity and status of the pupils in the White Palace was slightly inferior.
Meanwhile, the Holy Academy advocated competition based on strength, and there was no differentiation based on the status of the pupils among the Seven Peaks.
“Those two pupils do have some background.” Cheng Zhuo was good at socialising, so he was naturally well-informed.
“The good-looking woman is called Leng Ling Shuang. She should’ve been the legitimate daughter of the Leng Clan, but she wasn’t favoured. She was adopted and raised by the wife of the head of the Chi Clan, that is, her aunt. Her status in the Chi Clan is equivalent to that of the legitimate daughter.
“She’s best a divination and prediction since she was very young. Every time she made a prediction, it would come true. She is even better than her peers in the Xie Clan, therefore she’s also very valued by the Chi Clan.
“I heard that there wasn’t a place for her in this training mission, but she made a divination. The specific content of the conversation is unknown. Then an Ancestor of the Imperial Academy personally spoke to give up on the pupil in the original plan and replaced them with her.”
“So she’s someone who isn’t favoured. Her behaviour is obviously akin to snatching food from others!” A woman from the Blue Peak furrowed her brows slightly, clearly not very happy with Leng Ling Shuang’s behaviour.
Most of the pupils of the Holy Academy acted in an open, bright, and straightforward manner, which was closely related to the atmosphere in the Academy and the training of the superiors of the Holy Academy. Therefore, they all felt a kind of aversion to such backstabbing.
“Although she isn’t favoured in the Leng Clan, but she’s said to be favoured in the Chi Clan. You shouldn’t underestimate her.” Cheng Zhuo reminded, then looked at Chi Mo Ran and said with a smile: “On this point, Junior Brother Chi should know more.”
Hearing him say this, the pupils present also realised that Leng Ling Shuang was this one’s cousin.
Especially the woman from the Blue Peak, she was a little nervous and secretly glanced at Chi Mo Ran, fearing that he’d be unhappy, although she didn’t think she was wrong.
Chi Mo Ran’s cold expression didn’t show much expression, and he said faintly: “She’s just an adopted daughter of the Chi Clan, I am not familiar with her.”
In one sentence, Leng Ling Shuang’s identity was invalidated, and it was even clear that their relationship wasn’t good, which made the pupils present ponder deeply. However, at the same time, they all classified Leng Ling Shuang as a marginal figure.
