Who told him to make the cards!

Shen Qinglian, dressed in a close-fitting outfit and holding a longbow, followed the sound.

"Congratulations, Your Highness."

The accompanying maid offered her congratulations.

Shen Qinglian ignored her and dismounted.

The dappled sunlight filtering through the trees dappled her delicate face, making it impossible to discern her expression.

She went forward to check on the prey.

One blow kills.

"Take it with you."

"Yes."

Two guards carried the deer carcass away.

"How many is this?" Shen Qinglian asked.

The maidservant knelt down and said, "Your Highness, the seventh one."

"time?"

"Your Highness, it's 10:33 AM."

It's only 10 o'clock.

Time is passing so slowly.

Shen Qinglian dislikes hunting.

But this is a tradition that the royal family has inherited for nearly a thousand years.

Every member of the clan must acclimatize their hands to blood so that they will have the courage to cut off the enemy's head when they go to the battlefield.

Shen Qinglian didn't seem to care about this statement.

She simply hated every rule in the palace equally.

Unfortunately, she was relatively free this morning, and her mother caught her. With no good excuse to refuse, she had no choice but to come to the garden to hunt.

Shen Qinglian raised the back of her hand and wiped the fine sweat from her forehead.

Just as she was about to continue, a guard ran up from behind carrying a Qing Communicator in both hands.

"Your Highness!"

Shen Qinglian stopped and turned around.

"Your phone call," the guard said, kneeling slightly.

Shen Qinglian glanced at the business card.

Liu Bai?

She tossed the longbow to the maid and picked up the communication device.

"explain."

"Your Highness, do you still remember Chen Zhi?"

"Ah."

Liu Bai, on the other end of the phone, could clearly sense that Shen Qinglian was in a bad mood.

Whenever Her Highness is angry or agitated, she becomes unusually quiet.

If a meaning can be expressed in one word, it will never be expressed in two words.

But it's okay.

Liu Bai believed that upon hearing this news, Her Highness the Holy Maiden's mood would surely brighten.

“Chen Zhi has come to Qinggong Academy,” he said.

"Oh?"

Shen Qinglian raised an eyebrow as expected: "It's been reviewed?"

"The results haven't come out yet, but I'm sure I'll pass."

Liu Bai suppressed his excitement and said, "Not only that, his talent goes beyond the array level."

"At the very least, it's still beyond the realm."

Beyond Domain?

Chen Zhi?

Shen Qinglian was slightly taken aback.

This was clearly somewhat unexpected.

Her calm eyes suddenly lit up: "Are you sure?"

Liu Bai nodded, his tone solemn: "It's confirmed. He made a Heavenly Principle Card during this assessment. I saw it with my own eyes."

"This news will probably spread throughout the academy very soon."

"Your Highness, what do you see..."

"Send me the assessment video. As soon as possible."

"Yes."

Shen Qinglian hung up the phone.

Chen Zhi's face appeared in her mind once again.

This guy actually lied to her.

Despite possessing extraordinary talent, he stubbornly refrained from showing it.

Shen Qinglian was certain that Chen Zhi had long ago realized that her identity was not just that of a student at Qinggong Academy.

For Chen Zhi, she might be the only "big shot" he's ever met. As long as he reveals his super-domain level talent, he'll most likely receive special training.

Chen Zhi, however, refused.

What is this guy hiding?

Are you afraid she's a bad woman?

Shen Qinglian suddenly felt like laughing.

So what if she's bad?

No matter how much he hid, he was eventually caught by her.

Making Heavenly Principle cards for assessment purposes is no different from self-destruction.

Moreover, no one forced him to do it.

This should be Chen Zhi's own choice.

In other words, given this man's cautious nature, the fact that he proactively revealed his Transcendental level talent suggests that Transcendental level might not be his limit.

The master craftsman the old dean is looking for is very likely Chen Zhi.

Her appreciation for Chen Zhi seemed to have truly transformed the array into a masterpiece of nature.

It's been a long time since I've encountered such a double blessing.

Shen Qinglian unconsciously curled up the corners of her lips.

She put away the communicator and walked towards the horse.

Seeing that she didn't intend to take the bow back, the maid guessed that she wanted to leave and couldn't help but remind her:

"Your Highness, we still need three more."

Shen Qinglian's smile instantly turned cold.

She suddenly turned around, her movements incredibly fast. In the blink of an eye, she had already retrieved the longbow from the maid's hand halfway around. At the same time, she took an arrow from the quiver behind her back, drew the bow like a crescent moon, and aimed it at the maid's head.

The maid was so frightened that her face turned pale and her body stiffened, yet she dared not move.

The majesty of the royal family is greater than that of mountains.

The saintess wanted to kill her; even the slightest movement by her was a sin.

The line of guards behind him didn't dare to breathe.

Only the leader, steeling himself, knelt down and pleaded through gritted teeth for the maid:

"Your Highness, please calm down."

"She has served the Empress Dowager for many years and has never been so reckless. Today she must have been anxious and afraid that His Highness would be punished by the Empress Dowager for not completing the hunt, so she spoke without thinking."

"Please, Your Highness, spare her this time for the sake of the Empress Dowager."

Shen Qinglian drew the bow in her hand more and more fully.

The maid closed her eyes in fear.

Until a crisp sound.
