On Our Wedding Night, I Discovered the Crown Prince's Hidden Illness-Chapter 115 - : Vying for Recruitment

Chapter 115: Chapter 115: Vying for Recruitment

The warm water gradually cooled, and a thin layer of ice formed on the surface. The tearing sensation of the cold and warmth inside him made Ye Yiheng let out a low, muffled groan from the depths of his throat.

“Splash—”

He spun up from the water, and the ice broke apart with a sound.

Droplets slid down his pale skin, tracing over the smooth lines of his chest and abs, vanishing into the mysterious Adonis belt…

Standing by the poolside, he casually grabbed his robe and draped it over himself, yet the image of Leng Yu Yan persisted in his mind.

Her face veiled by white gauze, her eyes tranquil and deep, her smile tender within her laughing eyes, seemingly harmless to humans and animals.

...

Yet she harbored little schemes unknown to others, constantly seeking to escape from his side…

He didn’t know why he wanted to keep her bound to him.

Could it be as he had answered Ji Qingyu’s question that day, that with her by his side, he was not bored?

Indeed, with her presence, life in the Eastern Palace had ceased to be as silent as before.

But having gone blind, unable to see anything, why did this woman keep appearing in his mind time and again?

—

The next day.

Xinya Academy.

Early in the morning, before classes began, the students were discussing who would instruct their dance classes in the future.

“Do you think the academy will hire a new teacher?”

“Cao Shu’s dance skills are well known; now that she’s in trouble, naturally a new teacher will take over.”

“Cao Shu was actually taught by the Leng Family’s ugly girl; don’t tell me our Dance Master is going to be the Leng Family’s ugly girl?”

“That’s possible!”

“Hey, You Yuxia, Wan Zhenzhen, you two were taught by the Leng Family’s ugly girl and managed to become flower fairies, do you think she can replace Cao Shu?”

You Yuxia and Wan Zhenzhen, whose names were called, exchanged a glance, remaining silent.

At this moment, Lai Jiajia arrived at the classroom and threw a cutting look at You Yuxia and Wan Zhenzhen who were playing dumb.

“My sister is certainly qualified to be a Dance Master!”

As soon as Lai Jiajia spoke, immediate rebuttals arose.

“To be a Dance Master, one must also have an exceptional appearance. We admit your sister’s dance skills are good, but her face is just too ugly!”

Lai Jiajia sneered, “Good? If my sister’s dance skills are considered ‘good,’ then what does that make all of you—void of any dance skills?”

The people around her exchanged glances.

Someone said, “Lai Jiajia, you’re defending your cousin because you’re sisters. Moreover, it’s because of her joining that your team was able to stand out during the Flower Festival. But it’s undeniable that your sister is indeed the ugliest girl under the heavens!”

At that moment, Qian Mutong’s voice came from outside the classroom, “Exactly, how can an ugly girl become our Dance Master?”

“Qian Mutong, you!” Lai Jiajia’s eyebrows knotted in frustration.

The crowd echoed, “That’s right, even if an ugly girl is good at dancing, she cannot become a Dance Master!”

Lai Jiajia slammed her book down hard onto the desk, “In that case, since all of you are disciples of Cao Shu, you should address my sister as ‘Ancestor Teacher’!”

No sooner had she finished speaking than the whole classroom suddenly fell silent.

But in a flash, Qian Mutong sneered, “Even so, what of it? That can’t change the fact that Leng Yu Yan is an ugly girl. As long as she is ugly, she cannot be our Dance Master. Even if she really becomes one, we will unite and refuse to attend her classes. Lai Jiajia, what will you do then?”

The group of female students nodded and voiced their agreement.

Lai Jiajia’s face turned red with anger. You Yuxia and Wan Zhenzhen were truly petty, keeping silent at the very moment she needed help the most.

If only her sister, Mi Xinmei, or Luo Meng’er were here, they would definitely help her denounce these wretched people!

Just at this moment, Leng Yu Yan arrived at the classroom.

Lai Jiajia, as if she saw a savior, rushed forward and clung to Leng Yu Yan’s arm, “Sister, they say you’re ugly and can’t be the Dance Master.”

Leng Yu Yan patted the back of her hand and smiled faintly, “Little sister, don’t be troubled. We mustn’t lower ourselves to the level of petty people.”

It was then that the Mountain Master knocked on the classroom door, “Leng Yu Yan.”

At the sound, Leng Yu Yan turned her head and stepped forward to bow, “Mountain Master, your student offers her greetings.”

“You’re overexerting this old man,” the Mountain Master said with a smile, stroking his beard, “I’ve come today to invite you to be the Dance Master of our Xinya Academy. Considering this old man’s thin face, will you accept?”

The Mountain Master’s words shocked the students present.

They had just been discussing this very matter, never expecting it to actually come true.

This was not what they had hoped for!

So, the students began to protest in unison, “Mountain Master, this truly isn’t appropriate!”

“Indeed, Mountain Master, historically, the Dance Masters have always been both talented and beautiful. How could she be one?”

The Mountain Master scolded, “Does this Mountain Master have the final say, or do you?”

Lai Jiajia scrunched up her nose at them, “Of course the Mountain Master has the final say!”

She walked up to the side of the Mountain Master, “Mountain Master, I must tell you that they said earlier if my sister became the Dance Master, they wouldn’t attend her classes!”

The Mountain Master snorted coldly, “If they do not wish to attend classes, then they can return home and need not appear at Xinya Academy ever again!”

The students who had opposed her earlier immediately fell silent.

Leng Yu Yan smiled serenely, “Mountain Master, I regret that I cannot accept the position of Dance Master.”

The Mountain Master was somewhat puzzled, so he asked, “Why not?”

Leng Yu Yan said calmly, “My dance, they are unworthy to learn.”

Upon hearing this, those who had sung a different tune rolled their eyes.

They had just said they did not want to learn, but here this ugly girl claimed they were unworthy to learn!

All from Class D, equally mediocre, if she could become the Dance Master, they couldn’t stop her, but now they were told by the ugly girl that they were unworthy to learn.

This humiliation was like saying they were even inferior to the ugly girl.

Just as these people were about to retort, a clear and pleasant voice came from outside.

“Sister Yu Yan.”

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Li Yuyue and the Imperial College Sacrificial Officer approaching Leng Yu Yan with smiles.

The Mountain Master quickly blocked the Sacrificial Officer, “Hey, you old thing, what brings you to my Xinya Academy?”

“You’re the old thing, your whole family is full of old things,” retorted the Sacrificial Officer coldly, turning his head and then immediately heaping a warm smile on Leng Yu Yan, “Leng Yu Yan, this old man has come to invite you to study at the Imperial College!”

His words left the female students utterly astonished.

The Mountain Master huffed, “Leng Yu Yan is to be our Xinya Academy Master, what would she go to your place to become, a student?”

The Sacrificial Officer glanced at the Mountain Master, and with a beaming smile said, “Leng Yu Yan, I would also like to invite you to be the calligraphy master at the Imperial College, how about that?”

The female students were completely dumbfounded.

The Mountain Master of Xinya Academy invites the ugly girl to be the Dance Master, the Imperial College Sacrificial Officer invites the ugly girl to be the calligraphy master.

Why?

Do these two old men not consider appearances at all?

Leng Yu Yan hadn’t expected the Imperial College Sacrificial Officer to come personally to invite her, and as she pondered, if she wanted to go to the Imperial College, she would need the approval of Ye Yiheng, the blind man. How could she convince the blind man?

Li Yuyue spoke up, “Sister Yu Yan, after enrolling at the Imperial College, students who excel in the school examination can go on to gain experience in the Six Ministries.”

The Sacrificial Officer quickly added, “Exactly, Leng Yu Yan, your scholarship, this old man holds in high esteem. In due time, you will be both a student at the Imperial College and its calligraphy master. A woman enrolling in the Imperial College, in the Tiancheng Dynasty, you will be without equal!”
