Chapter 19 Cold Medicine (2)

"You're fine now, but you'll have problems if you keep overeating. Are you really going to prove it yourself?" Hu Niu felt extremely powerless.

"Will there really be problems?" Thirteen young master still had a degree of trust in Hu Niu. If she said so, it could be true.

Of course it's true, only you wouldn't understand the situation. You're a potion user for heaven's sake.

"Yes, there will be problems. I'll throw away these expired potions later. If any potions are about to expire next time, you can't eat them. You should only take medicine when you're sick, and don't take it randomly. Don't end up taking stomach medicine when you have a cold." Hu Niu gently warned.

"I know, I wouldn't be that stupid." Thirteen young master said disdainfully, as if he would never do such a foolish thing. But whether he would or not, that's debatable.

At that moment, he sighed again, lamenting, "It's just too wasteful."

"" Hu Niu was speechless. It would be fine if anyone else said it was wasteful, but he's known as the world's number one prodigal. How would he even know what "wasteful" means?

"Master, you claim to be the world's number one prodigal, are you afraid of wasting a little potion?"

"I'm a prodigal, but that doesn't mean I can't avoid waste. I'm just prodigal, not wasteful." Thirteen young master began to define "prodigal," urging people not to equate it with "wasteful."

"This…" Hu Niu was speechless. While Thirteen- young master was indeed prodigal, he didn't really like to waste things.

Well, this stupid master of mine can't be explained by common sense.

Hu Niu smiled, and then continued with her tasks for the day. Her stupid master, similarly, continued with his tasks. The two of them continued their new day like this.

At this time, Thirteen young master was thirteen years old and Hu Niu was fourteen.

The Imperial Academy of the Imperial Capital, a super academy that even nobles might not be able to enter, ranked second in the entire continent. However, this position was highly controversial.

The controversy wasn't that the Imperial Academy wanted to be first and not settle for second. Almost everyone affirmed the first place, an affirmation from the heart, no one could shake the first academy's position.

Since the controversy wasn't about the first place, it must be the Imperial Academy's second place. That's right, those ranked third and fourth were covetously eyeing that second place, seizing every opportunity to snatch it away.

If you ask how this ranking was determined, it wasn't some people collecting data, scoring each aspect, and then determining the result. The ranking was actually very simple. You just had to look at your overall strength in the once-in-a-decade Arena Challenge.

In other words, this ranking could only last for ten years. After ten years, if you lose, you'll go down. Conversely, you'll go up. This is the so-called "thirty years in the East River, thirty years in the West River," only the time is shorter, just ten years.

This Arena Challenge wasn't mixed either. It was divided by type into Magic Contest, Martial Arts Contest, and Alchemy Contest, which few people participated in. Of course, there were also Mixed Contests, divided by personnel composition into Individual Contest and Team Contest.

This continent where strength was paramount, its academies were all aimed at increasing individual strength. Therefore, the strength of the students represented the strength of the academy.

It's worth mentioning that the academies ranked second to fourth were basically occupied by academies from the three major empires. The first academy, however, didn't belong to any of the three major empires. It belonged to a small, insignificant country. You could even say that the country was the academy, and the academy was a country.

Perhaps this was also the reason why it became the first academy, there were many political factors at play.

Even in the three major empires, most of their nobles would choose this first academy as their top choice. Take the Ye family, for example. Thirteen young master's brother, Ye Hui, was also at the first academy, along with Thirteen young master 's second elder sister, and other cousins and siblings.

If it weren't for Thirteen young master 's special circumstances, the Ye family would have sent him to the first academy as well. But now, even though the Imperial Academy is ranked low, they still let him study there. They don't feel at ease if he's too far away, at least they can take care of him.

There's also another thing, Thirteen young master's elder sister, Ye Lan Yu, refused to go to the first academy. Claiming to take care of her younger brother, she studied at the Imperial Academy instead. Her abilities would have made her one of the best even at the first academy. Naturally, she's also a top student at the Imperial Academy of the empire.

Since she's a girl, the family's expectations of her aren't too high. She can study wherever she wants.

Since they were at the same academy, it was natural for them to go to school together every day. Just like this, she appeared before Thirteen young master again, her beauty meeting all the criteria of a beautiful woman, making her the object of pursuit for many noble youths in the city.

It seemed like she had just reached the prime of her youth, a young maiden in the prime of her life.

Chapter 8: Alchemy Academy

"Brother, time for school." Ye Lan Yu kicked open the courtyard door, then pulled Thirteen young master , who was already ready, and left. This series of actions was incredibly smooth, done in one swift motion.

"Oh," Thirteen young master was completely used to this scene. He let Ye Lan Yu pull his hand while holding a book in the other hand and reading.

Hu Niu, seeing this scene in the courtyard, also expertly packed her things into her spatial pouch, and quickly caught up to the siblings ahead.

Every day, Hu Niu followed these strange siblings to the Imperial Academy. She was naturally Thirteen young master 's escort. It was allowed for nobles to bring an escort, like a tutor, to academies across the continent. However, nobles had to pay an extra fee for the escort.

Of course, not every noble brought an escort. Someone like Ye Lan Yu didn't.

The Ye family's carriage took the three of them to the entrance of the Imperial Academy. They got off the carriage and walked inside. This was also a rule of the Imperial Academy, no vehicles were allowed to enter. Otherwise, the entire Imperial Academy would have a major traffic jam every day, after all, they were all nobles of extraordinary status.

And whenever this happened, a group of people would gather outside the academy, waiting for the arrival of the three. Naturally, they weren't waiting for Thirteen young master . Though he was the subject of envy, he hadn't offended anyone overall, and there would be no scene of him being surrounded by people.

These people were waiting for the person beside Thirteen young master, his sister, Miss Ye Lan Yu.

"Miss Lan Yu, this is a bouquet of nine hundred ninety-nine roses from the God of Love flower shop. This represents my love for you." A bunch of roses appeared before the three, but the person holding them remained unseen.

"I'm sorry, I don't like roses." Ye Lan Yu said with an apologetic smile, her tone and mannerisms so noble and gentle.

This was indeed the attitude that a noble young lady should have. But would this Miss Ye have this side? Has she changed as she grew up?
