"It's eerily quiet. Something's wrong."
"I had Luo Wen and Luo Xuan turn away all the gift-bearers. Besides, I don't think Si Yan should go to Lou Mountain Academy anymore." 'The rumors have to be stopped.'
Xiang Minghou froze, staring at the daughter in his arms in disbelief.
"What is it?"
"Pangtuan, when you handle things, your father can truly rest easy. Si Yan and Zhenzhu won't have to go anymore." The Emperor had said the same thing when he berated him in the Imperial Study.
"Zhenzhu can't go either?"
"The rules of Lou Mountain Academy cannot be changed." The Imperial Family would not allow anyone to tamper with the late emperor's rules.
"Then what about me?"
'If I were to attend, that would also be breaking the rules.'
"You don't have to worry. Since Dean Chen has accepted you as his disciple, you can naturally come and go as you please." As Xiang Minghou spoke, a worried expression crossed his face.
