The Whole World Knows That the Crown Prince Loves Her

Huang Quan obediently let go.

Upon seeing her release her hand, Nangong Mian nodded in satisfaction and left.

“Brother, I’m leaving. I should go back too,” Huang Quan said as she prepared to depart.

“Nangong girl, wait a moment!” The dean called out when he saw her about to leave.

Huang Quan turned around and asked, “Is there something else?”

“There is indeed something,” the dean hesitated for a moment but finally asked, “Nangong girl, how did it happen… exactly?”

Huang Quan appeared puzzled and asked, “What do you mean, ‘how did it happen?'”

“You don’t have any spiritual power, and you’ve never practiced martial arts before, so how did you manage to kill Qin Qianqian?” the dean inquired.

Huang Quan raised an eyebrow and responded, “She was so weak; even without spiritual power, it’s normal to defeat her, isn’t it?”

The dean added, “Qin Qianqian was a third-level spiritualist, not weak.”

Huang Quan simply said, “I thought she was weak.”

The dean cast a glance at Ye Qin, who remained silent, so he continued with Huang Quan’s narrative, “Qin Qianqian was weak. What about Mr. Qin, then? He is a sixth-level spiritualist. Can he be considered weak?”

The dean questioned this as Mr. Qin was three levels higher than Qin Qianqian.

“Dean, I understand your curiosity,” Huang Quan shrugged. “But you’ve also seen it for yourself. I genuinely have no spiritual power. It’s just pure physical strength. I don’t understand why they were so helpless.”

The dean sighed, feeling frustrated, but followed her story. “Nangong girl, would you consider having your martial level tested at the Martial Arts Academy?”

“Once you determine your martial level, you can take courses within the academy,” he continued. “If you can defeat a sixth-level spiritualist with pure physical strength, your martial level must be quite high. With that, you’ll have access to resources for further training.”

Just as the dean’s words had barely landed, Huang Quan suddenly turned her head and started coughing violently.

Seeing her coughing, Ye Qin furrowed his brow and inquired, “What’s wrong with you?”

Huang Quan wanted to respond, but she couldn’t speak; she just continued to cough intensely.

Huang Quan’s violent coughing fit left her breathless, her face turned bright red due to the prolonged and forceful coughing.

Seeing Huang Quan in this state, the dean was taken aback.

Many people in the capital knew about Huang Quan’s fragile health, having relied on spiritual herbs since childhood. Nangong Mian had taken on risky missions to earn money to buy these herbs for her. He had even spoken with the dean about allocating more resources for Nangong Mian’s training to support Huang Quan’s medical expenses. Despite not being present in the academy regularly, the dean was aware of Huang Quan’s health issues. However…

Reflecting on how Huang Quan had faced Qin San, her powerful aura, and her fierce actions just moments ago, there were no signs of her being unwell.

Now, looking at her coughing fit, the dean was sure that Huang Quan’s health was indeed fragile.

She was both strong and unwell.

Seeing Huang Quan’s persistent cough, the dean finally recognized the extent of her poor health.

For her, it was not a façade, and the dean realized it was true.

Observing Huang Quan’s condition, Ye Qin immediately grasped her hand to check her pulse. However, this action made Ye Qin’s expression grow even graver.

Huang Quan’s health issue was her fragility, but this type of persistent coughing was not an ordinary symptom.

At this moment, Ye Qin realized why Nangong Mian had been so eager for Huang Quan to receive medical attention from master Fo Xin. Huang Quan was frail, but her body exhibited no obvious abnormalities. This contradiction made it challenging for both doctors and alchemists to diagnose her. Now it made sense why her condition had been so difficult to treat.

“Dean, I… I won’t go for the test,” Huang Quan said after her intense coughing fit subsided. She looked at the dean and expressed her gratitude. “You’ve seen my condition, and it’s not suitable for me to attend classes. I won’t go. Thank you for your kind intentions.”
