Chapter 40 - Concentrate. Study hard.

She greeted the prince only due to the fact that it was mandatory to when meeting an imperial member.

After finishing greeting him she immediately ignored the man, not even bothering to entertain him with small talk, although even if it wasn't this annoying fly that she kept meeting she would never engage in small talk with anyone in the first place.

She found small talk to be unnecessary. It was a way for people to politely

dodge around here and there to ask for favours and other trivial matters from the other person. Sometimes it was even just to 'interact' which she found strange. Was human interaction very amusing?

No, it was disappointing.

Again, she found herself indulging her mind to strange thoughts and not concentrating. Perhaps she had lived this lifestyle for a bit too long.

Sighing internally, she sat down with a book in hand. It was titled 'Basics on ancient and historical art of the Wang Kingdom, historic events and all.' She began reading.

Meanwhile, as Ye FengTian was concentrated on her reading, or learning, a childish grin started to slowly form upon a certain snowy pale face, his eyes shifting ever so slightly to the girl near by.

He suddenly had a determined look in his eyes as he closed his book loudly, which did nothing but alert the near by birds to fly away from the strange man who had suddenly slammed his book closed in the middle of a seemingly peaceful atmosphere.

Wang Xue pouted slightly when he noticed the lack-of-reaction shown by the focused girl to his right. Standing up he softly smiled; determined to annoy the girl as pay back for her complete disregard of him.

Of course, in reality Ye FengTian was simply the type of person to be incredibly focused when studying. Although, if normal people heard her when describing herself when studying, they would most likely faint as 'incredibly focused' wouldn't help

at all when put under the trial of Wang Xue's antics. Even the emperor could do nothing against his abnormal, outrageous but affective methods.

Frustrated, Wang Xue was about to make his final struggle against the unbothered Ye FengTian when suddenly, the girl closed the book she was reading and placed it back onto the shelf she found it on, all while avoiding the standing agape and shocked-still Wang Xue effortlessly.

Having finished reviewing the information she obtained form reading in the last few hours, Ye FengTian felt incredibly satisfied. However she would feel even more delighted if the fly bugging her would just die already. Of course, she hid her thoughts carefully, her face expressionless as usual.

Without saying goodbye she stood up and walked out from the library, preparing to leave for her respective living quarters when she became slightly curious and glanced at the reflection of Wang Xue's expression from the bronze mirror in the corner, and to her surprise he caught her gaze and smiled.

Surprised, she didn't know how to react. She stood stiff as her steady steps came to a halt.

Suddenly Wang Xue's expression became dark when he realised that she had began leaving without even saying goodbye, his eyes dropped as he pouted slightly, his figure looking incredibly gloomy and sad at that moment. Seeing this scene Ye FengTian suddenly had the urge to laugh as a soft smile appeared beneath her veil.

Leaving the scene swiftly, she disappeared from her spot with ease.

"Ah!" Fei Yu screamed as her hair was pulled back by a chubby hand. The owner scoffing as she stared at the screaming girl in mockery.

"Aren't you the Young miss Fei Yu? The daughter of the right prime minister? Why are you hanging out with a strange nameless person who refuses to show her identity? For all you know she would be a poor civilian or better yet, your household maid!" A girl wearing a plain dark green robe laughed as she walked, her right hand pointing to Fei Yu Xuan.

"Exactly, exactly. What is someone prestigious like you doing with a nameless weirdo!" Another girl to the right of the participant currently tugging on the screaming Fei Yu's yelled out as her laughter was even more loud than the one who mocked the girl before. She even put up her right hand and covered her mouth while laughing.

"Let go of me!" Fei Yu screamed as she struggled within the grasp of the chubby girl, who had her arms crossed, her cheeks curved up in a sadistic smile.

"Why should I?Although I never expected the daughter of the Right Prime Minister to be with a nameless person from a unknown background." She suddenly narrowed her eyes as she released her grip on the handful of strained hair.

"Say, who is that person, really?" She stared into the eyes of Fei Yu who was currently clutching a part of her hair which had been grabbed.

Scowling, Fei Yu stood up.

"Why should I tell you? I still remember the time when you insulted us on the way to the archery grounds!" Fei Yu spoke harshly while dusting herself off.

"You-!" She was about to say something when suddenly her eyes widened. Her mouth opened as she stared speechless my at the figure who had just appeared.

The figure then slowly turned towards the scruffy Fei Yu who was still rubbing her head where her hair had been pulled from.

"Are you ok?" The voice asked without emotion, her amethyst staring like the void, unreadable.

Fei Yu looked a bit shocked before she stuttered out a 'yes'.

Then the figure with a veil that covered their face then turned towards the chubby girl who pulled Fei Yu's hair.

"Say, if I pulled out all your hair...will you leave me alone?"
