The Pseudo-Human Academy: Starting with a Bricklayer Personality

For some reason, Xu Feng felt that the pressure he faced when facing Filonia was far greater than when facing Seluus.

Filonia was somewhat puzzled. Although she didn't know why Xu Feng seemed to have become much weaker for some reason, she still spoke very gently:

"You're still better; I'm not good with a sword."

Philolia gave him a way out, which greatly moved Xu Feng.

My wife is definitely the best.

The day's practical training passed quickly.

Xu Feng and Fei Luolia were walking back to their residence when a student from another courtyard quickly stepped forward to stop them, bowing and saying:

"Sir Hillman, son of the Chancellor, wishes to meet with you privately. Does Your Excellency have the time at this moment?"

Xu Feng initially wanted to refuse, but then he thought that Hillman, as the son of a minister, might be in control of the crisis situation in the second act of the academy.

If you were to run headlong into something without knowing or understanding it, you'd be in big trouble.

Xu Feng felt it was necessary to talk to Hillman. Although the guy looked a bit gay, he was an important source of information about the academy.

Influential people usually know more about things.

So, Xu Feng looked at Fei Luoliya, who nodded understandingly:

"I'll be waiting for you at the castle."

Xu Feng nodded:

"it is good."

Xu Feng followed the student to a quiet room.

The minister's son, Hillman, was waiting for him in an empty room with only two chairs and a table.

Hillman sat by the window, his chin resting on his hands. Outside, lush greenery stretched out, and sunlight cast dappled shadows into the room.

Looking at this remote and secluded place, Xu Feng immediately felt a sense of foreboding.

Is Hillman trying to force himself on him by calling him to such a remote place?

Xu Feng was getting a little uneasy. Why did the layout of this room look so much like a confessional?

Hillman's lips curled into a slight smile as he calmly said:

"Come, have a seat!"

Xu Feng, naturally, wasn't going to back down. He walked over and sat down.

"Let's talk."

Xu Feng looked completely bewildered.

"What are you talking about?"

"You're actually working for the First Princess, aren't you?" Hillman shifted his posture, adjusted his glasses, and spoke calmly.

Xu Feng was completely confused. He had never even seen the First Princess's face, so how could he possibly be one of her people?

Xu Feng was quite interested in the guaranteed gold card issued by the royal family, since medieval marriages were mostly between close relatives.

In such an environment, the release of such an awesome gold card that can fight on three fronts simultaneously is like Li Shimin being reincarnated.

Therefore, the Xuanwu Gate incident is an unavoidable part of the process.

Xu Feng had always thought that this eldest princess was an exceptionally powerful person.

If given the chance, he really wanted to see it for himself. Thinking this, Xu Feng spoke up:

"Um... I think you've got it wrong. I've never even seen the First Princess, how could I possibly be one of her people?"

Hillman let out a suppressed, low laugh:

"So that's how it is? I knew you wouldn't admit it. Tell me! What kind of rights and titles do you want?"

"That's why I betrayed the eldest princess. Everything the eldest princess can give you, I can promise you too, and I can give you even more than the eldest princess."

Seeing Hillman's serious expression, Xu Feng immediately realized something.

Hillman was negotiating with him on behalf of someone, who was very likely a high-ranking official in the Empire.

He could even be the emperor of the Griffin Empire.

Xu Feng felt things were getting a bit complicated. It was one thing for Sister Lao to kill someone's head, but how did she end up dragging him into it too?

Thank you so much! My dear sister in jail...

At this moment, Xu Feng was on the verge of tears. He tried to explain:

"Um... it's not about money, you've got it wrong, I'm really not one of the princesses."

Hillman, seeing Xu Feng's words, showed no surprise whatsoever; instead, he appeared confident and said:

"Sir Xu Feng, you are truly loyal beyond words! Although I don't know what help the First Princess has given you, you still refuse to admit that you are one of the First Princess's people even at this point."

"I must say, Sir Xu Feng, you are far smarter and more skillful than your sister."

Xu Feng was speechless. It seemed that he couldn't escape this label no matter what.

Is Hillman from a hat factory?

That's how you put a label on someone.

This old-fashioned playing style really works everywhere!

Xu Feng was somewhat speechless, and he also had some doubts in his heart, so he asked:

"Since you are so wary of the eldest princess, why do you still allow her to command a large army and fight on three fronts?"

"Could it be that your vast Griffin Empire, with its two capitals and thirteen provinces, has no one capable of serving?"

Xu Feng always felt that the thinking of female-oriented content was a bit strange. The prince was not favored, so he was sent to the border to lead troops.

What kind of curiosity-driven thinking is this?

Aren't you afraid that an unfavored prince will come to Xuanwu Gate for a thorough and satisfying showdown?

Hillman laughed, a laugh tinged with helplessness:

"The Griffin Empire is indeed full of talented people, and it's not that we have no one to use. At first, we did intend to let the eldest princess fulfill the honor of the nobility and die on the battlefield."

"But she was incredibly skilled in combat. She rose from an unknown soldier on a battlefield strewn with corpses to achieve great things, climbing her way up step by step through sheer merit."

"In the end, she climbed to the top position by sheer willpower, and no soldier on the border dared to disobey her. This was completely different from the script we had planned."

Xu Feng was stunned when he heard this. Dude, how could this allow her to rise from a lowly soldier to the commander-in-chief of the three armies? What kind of Mulan ProMAX is this?

He thought the eldest princess was going to be the commander-in-chief from the start, but it turns out she was sent to be a filler character.

Not only did he not die, but he also climbed his way up to Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces.

She's already such an amazing person, what's wrong with letting her inherit the Griffin Empire?

Why must they insist on having Prince Charles succeed to the throne?

Why leave such an amazing person aside?

What kind of bizarre brain circuits are these?

It seems that the Christon Royal Family really does guarantee a payout.

You manage to pull out a dazzling SSR card from a pile of drooling sugar figurines.

This incredibly powerful person is clearly the chosen one destined to continue the Griffin Empire's reign.

Is this how you suppress her?

Just because she's a girl?

Is this appropriate?

Xu Feng even felt indignant for the eldest princess he had never met.

If the eldest princess were to post a long essay online, lamenting her family background, Xu Feng would definitely give her a thousand supports.

Hillman adjusted his glasses and continued calmly:

"As you surely know, none of the royals on horseback are simple. What power and status do you need to betray the eldest princess?"

"You mean you want to bribe me to stab the First Princess in the back?"

Hillman nodded and said quite bluntly:

"You are indeed a smart person. You are very valuable, which is why we did not choose to take action against you."
