If not for the overbearing nature of his Martial Academy Master, which was determined to make this matter big, Xu Chang would not have interfered.

However, Xia Ziji was the son of the assistant minister of the military, although he was not a rare talent, he was not an ordinary person. He hated the Wen Yuan for interfering with the matter of the Martial Academy, and did not even care about the face of the Martial Academy. It was likely that the surrounding students had seen it, if they were to speak carelessly about it, it would also be troublesome.

"Causing trouble for me!"

Xu Chang knocked on Gu Mingyan's head in disappointment.

At most, he would be able to keep up with the letters and letters written by the students of the past, so he could get some benefits for the academy. Now that he had this little girl by his side, it was bustling with noise and excitement, making him extremely angry.

After getting hit on the head, Gu Mingyan could only stand there dejectedly.

Bai Shao and Ji Huai were squeezed on a table together, looking at the books with their eyes wide open.

Only Xiao Qiran kept the embroidered box that Xiao Yiran had gifted him by his side and drank his tea alone.

"What trick did you use to win against Xia Ziji?" Xu Chang said angrily.

Gu Mingyan took out two thin blade pieces from his sleeves and handed them over to Xu Chang.

The two blades were cold to the touch, and no matter how one looked at them, they weren't lethal weapons. If one looked carefully, the hilt of the blades were only two fingers wide, how could they be used? And how could he win against Xia Ziji?

Xu Chang frowned, but Xiao Qiran narrowed his eyes at the side: "This is a snow blade, made from the frost underneath the ridge of the sky. It is unbreakable through its toughness, and can cut iron like mud.

"The Snow Edge is only a piece of jade stone from back then. I still have a few."

After saying that, Gu Mingyan's sleeves shook, and four blades fell into her palms.

This blade blade did not have a back of the blade, it was sharp on both sides, the handle was extremely small, but when it landed on Gu Mingyan's palm it did not hurt her at all.

Seeing Xu Chang look, Gu Mingyan's hands lightly trembled, and the snow blades fell between his fingers, still unharmed.

"Mr. Xu, the reason why I defeated Xia Ziji earlier was only because of one word." As he said that, the four blades in his fingers fell down, but before they could even land on the ground, they were wrapped up by the light muslin covering Gu Mingyan's long sleeves.

With the white veil as the wind, Snow Edge swept above Gu Mingyan's head, and in the end, firmly landed in his palm.

"Besides, I'm good with Snow Edge's medicinal blade. My eyes are clear and transparent, my hands are fast, and I've won fair and square."

Her fingertips gently grabbed onto the four blades of snow, and without worrying about being cut open, she casually shoved them into her sleeves. The red rope on her wrist also appeared on her white wrist, and with a gentle push, she covered the phoenix feathers that had changed color.

Xiao Qiran looked at the scene in front of him and remained silent.

It seemed that he had used her ability to hide the snow blade.

Xu Chang frowned: "Even though I won, I still have to go into confinement."

Gu Mingyan immediately became like a frosted eggplant, lowering his head and remaining silent.

On the other hand, when Xiao Qiran looked at the embroidered box of red jade earrings beside his hand, he frowned as he thought about how Xu Chang once said that everyone had a love for beauty, and even though Gu Mingyan was mischievous, he did indeed have a good face.

After pondering for a moment, he lightly rapped his finger on the embroidered box.

"Shuang Hua copied your books for you, so I let Wei Bai make up for your confinement."

Wei Bai opened his eyes wide: "But Your Highness, if I am going to imprison you, there will be no one to take care of you."

"Since you are in confinement for her, she will take your place."

He deliberately bit down on the word 'servant' very heavily, but when Gu Mingyan heard this, he still obediently walked over, cupped his hands towards Wei Bai, and cutely smiled at her: "Thank you very much."

Wei Bai's mouth twitched, she saw that Xiao Qiran was serious, and obediently walked into the secret room behind Xu Chang, and could not help but sigh in her heart, if her Highness had never fallen for her, how could he take advantage of himself when doing proper business!

It was unknown how much Wei Bai had scolded him in his heart.

At this time, Gu Mingyan did not dare to approach Xu Chang, as he was afraid that would change his mind and not allow others to take his place.

Xu Chang raised his eyebrows, "Aren't you being a little too lenient towards her?

"It is not that I am conniving, it is just that the air of the Martial Academy respects the martial artists, and respect the high and mighty. Now that Xia Ziji has been humiliated, he will definitely make use of this matter to show his true abilities, and even if those masters were to come and question me for my crimes, if I am not here, and if you are not, do you want them to offend the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

Xiao Qiran added a few more tall hats, which made a bit of sense.

The Emperor wanted to balance the civil and military power, but he also wanted to widely accept the medical skills and talents that could be used for his own purposes. In the end, the civil and military power was a bit more uncultured, but due to the military achievements of the previous years, the military officials had become more and more domineering, and their military might had declined for a long time.

Only now did Xu Chang have no choice but to look straight into Gu Mingyan's eyes.

First of all, she was the direct daughter of Prime Minister's Mansion, and in the future, her family would flourish no matter who she married.

Furthermore, even if the Prime Minister really didn't like his daughter, he still wouldn't have dared to kill her when the sky had changed. Now that he had returned to the Shengan, his status was already different from before. If he provoked her, it would be equivalent to provoking the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Before, when Fang Huai had been sent home, he was still delirious, and did not dare to truly provoke Prime Minister's Mansion.

Gu Zhiyuan had even spent a large amount of money and two officials to block this matter completely. It seemed that he still cared about his daughter.

"But now, she's causing trouble everywhere, so she's not afraid of anyone criticizing her Prime Minister's Mansion …"

"Mr. Xu has passed."

Xiao Qiran laughed lightly, then called Gu Mingyan to his side, and continued to speak: "The matters of the imperial court have nothing to do with the Mr. Xu, but today, it seems like I should recruit some of the Martial Academy masters who do not follow along with the authority."

Xu Chang's face changed again and again, but he paced back and forth for a moment before returning.

"If we can find one, it would indeed be a good thing. However, the Martial Academy is not simple."

"Not only is it the Martial Academy, it is also the same in the academy. That's why I had to bring her to discuss this with Fourth Brother, and even more so, let royal father know that she is not a burden."

Pulling Gu Mingyan's hand, he glanced over at Bai Shao: "Even though he's your younger brother, he's useless, just not useful."

Gu Mingyan was stunned, seeing Bai Shao's rosy cheeks turn pale, but before she could say anything, she was called away by Xiao Qiran.

As they walked out of the door, Gu Mingyan asked urgently: "He's just a child, why did you provoke him?"

"Only when he is bullied will people in National Duke's Mansion know how important the word 'power' is."

He could not see Xiao Qiran's face, but Gu Mingyan helplessly said: "The National Duke's Mansion already has nothing to do with you."

"What do you mean?"

"If they didn't know the word 'power', why would they enter the academy now?" Gu Mingyan bent down and said softly: "Cousin has entered the Academy to say that he is a talented person, but in reality, he is extremely intelligent. There is no need for him to say all these to a bunch of useless children here.
