Chapter 164 The Emperor’s Flower
Their minds raced with speculation, but they dared not utter a word of disrespect. During a break in their conversation, one of the bolder girls, her eyes gleaming, said, "Senior Lin, could we... could we add you as a friend? We can let you know anytime we need anything!"
At Galaxy Martial Arts University, the strong are respected, regardless of grade level; the weak address the strong as senior students.
Therefore, it is perfectly normal, even natural, for them to call Lin Qiye "senior".
Lin Qiye nodded politely and was about to open the terminal.
Just then, the door to the next dormitory room clicked open softly.
Ye Qinghan stood at the door.
She seemed to have heard the commotion outside and wanted to come out to see what was going on. However, when her gaze fell on Lin Qiye, Bai Muxi, and the group of student council members and their packed luggage behind them, she froze instantly.
They...are moving away?
A thought flashed through her mind like lightning.
Yes, the rankings from the opening exams... if the rankings change, the dormitories can be adjusted.
If you rank in the top 3000, you are also eligible to apply to move to a dormitory with a stronger spiritual energy and on a lower floor.
As for Lin Qiye... he was the top freshman.
Of course he will move away.
This perfectly normal logic, at this moment, felt like an invisible hammer, slamming heavily into Ye Qinghan's heart.
Her usually proud and pretty face was now completely drained of color, turning deathly pale.
They moved away...
That distance, separated only by a wall, that distance that made her feel so close to him, that distance that sustained all her resentment and curiosity... is it really going to disappear like this?
No...no!
She hadn't completed the task her father had given her... she hadn't changed his opinion of her, she hadn't...
Ye Qinghan clenched her hands, which were hanging by her sides, her knuckles turning slightly white from the force.
Lin Qiye naturally noticed her as well. He politely nodded slightly in Ye Qinghan's direction before turning back to continue speaking to the student council members.
That glance was calm, indifferent, and even carried a hint of polite detachment.
It was as if I had only seen an insignificant stranger.
That one glance completely shattered Ye Qinghan's last line of defense.
In her eyes, this was even more painful than being ignored.
It turns out that in his heart, she really was just a neighbor... someone whose name he couldn't even be bothered to remember.
"Senior Lin, everything's ready, let's go!"
"Okay, thank you for your help."
The group chatted and laughed as they surrounded Lin Qiye and Bai Muxi, heading towards the elevator.
The sounds of footsteps and laughter gradually faded away in the empty corridor.
Ye Qinghan stood alone at the door, like a forgotten statue, until the sound completely disappeared, and then she suddenly came back to her senses!
No!
She turned abruptly and rushed back to her dormitory, her hands trembling as she opened her personal terminal and quickly brought up her student information interface. Below the "Overall Ranking: 2889," sure enough, there was a faintly glowing link—[Dormitory Adjustment Request]!
If he can move it, so can I!
Without hesitation, she clicked the link.
Your new dormitory assignment has been completed: Room 017, 271st floor.
271th floor...
Ye Qinghan wanted to cry.
She vaguely overheard the student council aspiring members talking and laughing with Lin Qiye, mentioning his new dormitory floor...
Is it...200 floors?
200th floor...and 271st floor.
The difference is too great...
……
Ten minutes later, in dormitory 001 on the 200th floor.
As the heavy alloy door slid open, Bai Muxi looked at what was in front of her and couldn't help but let out a small gasp.
Compared to the tiny single room on the 298th floor, this place is practically a luxury mansion!
The total area is more than twice the size of the previous one!
More importantly, as soon as you step into this place, you can clearly feel that the concentration of spiritual energy in the air is much higher than before!
Just taking a deep breath makes me feel refreshed, and even the baby in my belly seems to have become more active.
"Wow... Honey, this place is so nice!" Bai Muxi happily twirled around the living room, her face beaming with happiness.
……
Meanwhile, in the office of the vice president of a Ministry of Justice organization.
Yang Ching-yuan, the vice president of the Ministry of Justice, sat in the boss's chair with a gloomy expression.
On the sofa opposite her sat several girls, all dressed in the same uniform of the Ministry of Justice; they were her subordinates.
"Sister Jingyuan, we absolutely cannot swallow this insult!" a girl said indignantly. "She's just a freshman, how dare she show such disrespect to our School of Law? She's simply lawless!"
"That's right!" another girl chimed in. "We're the Empress's people! Today he didn't just slap the faces of us two sisters, he slapped Jingyuan's face! He slapped the Empress's face!"
Yang Jingyuan glanced coldly at everyone and said in a deep voice, "I understand. You may all leave."
Upon hearing this, the men felt as if they had been granted a pardon and quickly rose to take their leave.
As soon as the office door closed, Yang Jingyuan's face turned incredibly ugly.
She knew very well that such a shameful thing must never be reported to Empress Liu Ruyan.
The empress, who resides high in the clouds, has been immersed in cultivation for the past two years, striving to reach the legendary "perfect transcendence" realm.
Everyone at Galaxy Martial Arts University knows that Liu Ruyan was qualified to graduate two years ago, but she chose to suppress her cultivation level, just so that at the moment she steps into the extraordinary realm, she could combine perfect physical training, perfect spiritual energy, and perfect spirit to forge the most flawless superpower foundation.
Why bother her with something so trivial?
That would be tantamount to bringing shame upon oneself and would only be seen as an incompetent piece of trash.
Yang Jingyuan took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing her surging emotions, and dialed an encrypted video conference with the core senior management of "The Princess of the Emperor".
As the light screen illuminated, figures who wielded considerable influence on campus appeared one after another. They were all vice presidents of various clubs and the core leaders of "Empress Flower" under Empress Liu Ruyan's command.
"Everyone's here," Yang Jingyuan said, glancing around at everyone. Her voice was icy as she got straight to the point. "I invited you all here today to discuss the recruitment of Lin Qiye, the top freshman. I... have encountered some obstacles."
The words had barely left her lips when Meng Yao, one of the vice presidents of the court, revealed a mocking smile on her usually stern face. She was filing her nails with a delicate little file, not even lifting her eyelids. "Obstacles? Yang Jingyuan, I heard you were humiliated at the ceremony today in front of the entire school, along with your two idiot subordinates? What, now you want us to clean up your mess?"
Yang Jingyuan's face flushed instantly, and she slammed her hand on the table, causing ripples to appear on the virtual desktop: "Meng Yao! Watch your words!"
"What? You dare to do it but not admit it?" Meng Yao finally raised her eyes, her gaze sharp as a knife. "You can't even handle a freshman with no connections. I think it's time to replace you as the vice president of the Law School."
Yang Jingyuan was burning with anger and was almost out of control.
Damn Meng Yao! If it weren't for the Empress needing a dog like you that bites...
"Alright, everyone, say less." The elegant figure of Han Yingwen, the vice president of the student council, appeared on the main screen. She smiled and smoothed things over, her tone gentle yet carrying an undeniable authority. "Meng Yao, you can't say that. After all, she's the top freshman this year, so it's normal and understandable for her to be a little arrogant."
Her words were perfectly worded, both reassuring Yang Jingyuan and praising Meng Yao, instantly bringing the focus of the meeting back to the present.
Meng Yao gave a soft snort, which was considered giving Han Yingwen face, and said nothing more.
Yang Jingyuan retorted sharply, "The student council has the Empress and the fourth-year top student, and the Chen family's heir is confirmed to join. With so many experts, what resources can a newcomer like him possibly get? The court also has second- and third-year top students; he has no place at all! Inviting him to the Ministry of Justice and fully supporting him is already an immense favor!"
