118 Characters From Three Years Ago
Su Binglan planned to open a few more stores while grooming Lin Zheng, Li Shi, and Zhou Shan.
The trio had worked alongside her for a while, and she thought they were promising individuals. However, they did not have much experience.
She would arrange to transfer the trio when they passed their internship to her new shops whenever they opened. She would feel at ease with them managing her shops.
Lin Zheng knew his boss would often say some strange things. He and his lackeys were puzzled initially and did not quite understand their boss, but after some time, they got used to it.
Lin Zheng thought his boss was competent and generous but also sensitive about his shortcomings. Despite that, following Su Binglan would ensure him a brighter future.
His boss would not mistreat him and his friends either. Therefore, Lin Zheng, Li Shi, and Zhou Shan worked diligently for Su Binglan.
Su Binglan noticed all this and seemed to have thought of something. She said, “Have you done what I asked you to do previously?”
Naturally, Lin Zheng remembered that his boss had asked him about the private schools in town.
Ordinary people typically went to private schools and did not have to live there, even if the cost was low. However, there was a famous school named Blue Mountain Academy in town.
The rules in Blue Mountain Academy were relatively strict, and the teachers there were knowledgeable and notable. Still, it was not easy to get in because one would need to go through the school’s inspections and entrance exams. One could only attend Blue Mountain Academy after passing.
“Boss, Blue Mountain’s rules are stringent. I heard it was Princess Lan who set their rules. She also told someone to run the school.”
“Who is Princess Lan?” Su Binglan had only come to this world to live a village life. She had never heard of any prince or princess.
Lin Zheng saw no one around and said quietly, “Boss, this Princess Lan came from Prince Ding’s mansion. She is a highly talented person who has helped her brother manage his mansion since she was only a few years old.
“If it weren’t for the fact that Princess Ding had used her intelligence to protect the mansion, the emperor would have destroyed it long ago.
“However, it’s a pity that the Heavens are jealous of talented people. Princess Lan has been weak since she was a child, and some monks even said that her soul is incomplete. She suddenly fell three years ago and died.”
At first, Su Binglan only listened lazily and did not take it seriously. But her expression changed when she heard what had happened three years ago because it was the same time she fell from the back of the mountain.
Princess Lan’s soul was also incomplete, so could that body be hers three years ago? Still, her current body’s soul was incomplete, and her Soul Power and memories had yet to recover.
Su Binglan had only recently reawoken. She wondered if they were connected somehow. But she did not remember being a princess when she thought carefully.
Her expression froze as she urged, “Continue.”
Lin Zheng saw that his boss was interested in his story and continued, “Similarly, an outstanding major general also died on the battlefield, and his entire family got wiped out.”
Su Binglan’s heart inexplicably tightened when she heard this. She muttered, “M-Major general?”
“Yes, he was the God of War for our country, the Chu Country. He was a savior to me, but he died just like that,” Lin Zheng felt depressed but continued, “He was only fifteen years old when he died.”
Lin Zheng paused and said gloomily, “Chu Country wouldn’t be in such a mess if Princess Lan and the major general were still alive. Princess Lan’s brother, Prince Ding Wang, was sent to Dingzhou. It is the most barren place.”
