Great, I'm surrounded by villains.

Chapter 93: The Princess (Part )
On this day, Xu Yi felt that his outlook on life had been greatly impacted.

When he saw the intruder's appearance, he could hardly believe his eyes.

Ning Ruyue, the eldest sister of Wenwan Qinyuan, who is secretly loved by countless students in the academy, put down the guqin in her hand and picked up the sword and dagger to chop people.

After witnessing Ning Ruyue's fierce attack just now, Xu Yi felt cold all over. He asked himself if it was him who was attacked by Ning Ruyue just now, he would probably have died cold.

Regarding the topic of "Who is the strongest apprentice hunter in the academy" that has only arisen today, it seems that there is now a final answer.

Ning Ruyue, who had taken off her disguise, returned to her former self. She seemed to know how to use her image to her advantage. She put her hands together and pleaded with a pitiful look, "Please don't tell anyone about this, Teacher Mingyuan. Otherwise, I will be locked up in the small dark room. I will do anything."

Today, the trend of private fighting in the academy has angered the teachers of various colleges. Now is the time when the leading bird will be shot. If she is caught as an example at this time, coupled with her status as the eldest sister, she will definitely be severely punished.

But ever since taking the "Defense Against Evil Spirits Class", Ning Ruyue had one thing she wanted to confirm no matter what.

Rumor has it that the new teacher easily dispatched the ambushing assassin on his way here.

That is to say...

Member of Hidden Butterfly.

And now, she has personally confirmed that the rumors are true.

Duan Mingyuan not only easily resolved her full-force attack, but he also used the magic tricks learned from the chess academy without even using his real abilities.

I really don’t know where the academy invited this kind of person from.

Ning Ruyue secretly observed Duan Mingyuan's expression. She was very clear about the power of her coquettishness. Every time she made a mistake and was punished by the dean of the Qin Academy, she could easily get away with it by simply using her coquettishness.

The single senior brother who had never seen the world lying on the hospital bed was instantly dazzled, but Duan Mingyuan continued to sit there like a giant Buddha, with no expression of emotion.

"It depends."

Duan Mingyuan said calmly.

He admitted that Ning Ruyue was indeed good at using her beauty, but she was a human after all, and he was a person who had been tempered by a true vixen. Any form of seduction would be ineffective on him. "Your outfit is somewhat similar to the ambusher I met."

"I can guarantee that I am not one of theirs."

Ning Ruyue's eyes wandered around Duan Mingyuan and Xu Yi, and then she said, "Teacher Mingyuan, I know a place. Can I have a chat with you?"

A few minutes later, Duan Mingyuan realized that the so-called secret place referred to the back mountain of the academy.

Yunhai Academy still retains some ancient traditions. For example, students who seriously violate the academy rules will be ordered to go to a small dark room in the back mountain to reflect on their mistakes.

This place is remote and far away from the academy, so usually no one passes by here.

Ning Ruyue seemed to be very familiar with this place. She walked under the shade of a towering ancient tree and hid herself in the shadow. Even if someone happened to pass by the path, they would not notice their presence as long as they did not look here carefully.

When Duan Mingyuan approached, she took the initiative to say, "I often come here to practice sword alone."

"There are no flying sword courses in the academy, and I haven't seen any related books in the library."

In addition, Yunhai Academy does not advocate fighting, so Duan Mingyuan could easily guess that Ning Ruyue had acquired all these skills before coming to the academy.

Because of this, she could only practice secretly in such a desolate and remote place.

All signs pointed to her as the intruder. "Teacher Mingyuan, I know you are suspicious of me, but with my status in the academy, I have no authority to know the courier's round-trip time, especially after the incident of the student being killed."

Ning Ruyue explained seriously, "But I believe that with your keen observation, you should have expected it a long time ago."

Duan Mingyuan did not comment, but signaled her with his eyes to continue.

"The ones who attacked you midway should be members of Hidden Butterfly. They are assassins carefully trained by the court. Their mission this time is to break into the academy, wipe out the rebels, and then hand it over to the court for punishment."

Ning Ruyue did not intend to hide her identity from Duan Mingyuan. She handed the flying sword to him and showed him the mark on the hilt.

Once you see it, nothing needs to be said...

Duan Mingyuan's confused look made Ning Ruyue's eyelids twitch violently a few times. The confused look didn't seem to be pretended. She coughed lightly and asked tentatively, "Teacher Mingyuan, don't you recognize this mark?"

In her opinion, the person who could master such skills must be the heir of a hidden family, and probably a rare genius that can only be seen once in a century. If so, when the family teaches him the skills, they will naturally tell him about the affairs of the court.

"I don't recognize it."

"This is... the mark of the royal family."

Ning Ruyue always felt that the atmosphere was a little weird when she said this herself.

The scene she had originally imagined was that Duan Mingyuan's pupils would shrink the moment he saw the mark, and then he would stand in awe of her and reveal her identity in surprise.

Now that she explained it this way, it actually sounded like she was bragging.

Moreover, there was no trace of awe on Duan Mingyuan's face.

Ning Ruyue had no choice but to continue bragging, "This sword was personally handed to me by my father when I was a child. I am the legitimate daughter of the first king."

"The eldest princess."

Duan Mingyuan thought of the proper nouns in the novel that Jiu Yue had read recently. For a modern person, these royal titles seemed a bit far away from their lives.

This was nothing surprising, as he had even seen the legendary nine-tailed fox.

But then, he suddenly thought of something and was startled.

Dean Mo Song said that the First King had lived for hundreds of years. As the First King's legitimate daughter, wouldn't the eldest princess also be hundreds of years old?
Duan Mingyuan looked up and down at Ning Yueru, who looked only a few years older than Yang Ping. Her ability to maintain eternal youth was worthy of high praise, but her talent in the fields of life energy and martial arts was too poor.

After several hundred years, there is only 31 points of life energy, and the ability to control the flying sword is not too amazing.

Ning Yueru seemed to have seen through Duan Mingyuan's inner thoughts and added with a stern face, "I am 18 years old. Father started to train a successor only after he realized the company's intentions."

Duan Mingyuan was not the first person to "show great respect" to the eldest princess after learning her identity.

Even her birth was based on the technology brought by the company. All of this was to ensure that the descendants of the First King could inherit this bloodline and the magical skills passed down by the First King.

"I did sneak into Yunhai Academy, but not to destroy it."

Ning Yueru's face changed slightly, but she quickly concealed her emotions. "I need the knowledge in the library, as well as the potential allies here, because... they no longer want my father to stay on the throne."
