The Whole World Knows That the Crown Prince Loves Her

Upon hearing this, the dean quickly said, “No, no, Nangong girl. You should return and rest. Rest well!”

Seeing the concern in the dean’s face, it was clear that he had a special interest in Nangong girl. She couldn’t afford to have any issues. If something were to happen to her, the dean might take drastic measures.

“Alright, Dean, I’ll take my leave,” Huang Quan said, preparing to leave. However, just as her foot was about to touch the ground, her body lifted off the ground!

Instinctively, Huang Quan grabbed onto the nearest thing she could find, which happened to be Ye Qin’s clothes. It was only then that she realized she was being carried horizontally by Ye Qin!

Horizontal carry = Princess carry!

Huang Quan was quite surprised; she never expected to be carried like a princess one day.

“Being like this, you would stumble after a few steps,” Ye Qin said as he carried her out. He continued, nonchalant, “It’s quicker for me to carry you back.”

Huang Quan responded with a smile, “Understood, understood.”

As Ye Qin saw that smile, he inexplicably avoided eye contact and chose to look ahead, walking away briskly.

In the Royal Academy, the dean watched Ye Qin’s departing figure and finally snapped out of his daze. His mind was full of “WTF” moments.

Wasn’t that ancestor known for not liking human contact?

And yet, he carried someone willingly!

What was going on?

The dean felt like he had stumbled upon exclusive gossip but couldn’t share it with anyone because this was the Tianhuang Empire, and that guy held an esteemed status. The dean couldn’t easily reveal this information, so he could only ponder and not share it.

The dean thought he was in quite a predicament. He had a jaw-dropping piece of gossip, but he couldn’t share it with anyone. It was quite a torment!

Meanwhile, back in the courtyard, Ye Qin brought Huang Quan back, placed her on a stone bench, and furrowed his brow as he looked at her. “ I checked your pulse but your body seems fine.”

Huang Quan nodded, saying, “I’m fine.”

“But your body is very weak,” Ye Qin said. “It’s quite contradictory.”

Huang Quan nodded again, “It is indeed contradictory.”

Ye Qin’s frown deepened. “You don’t know why?”

Huang Quan sighed and said, “If I knew, I wouldn’t have coughed so much.”

“It’s incredibly uncomfortable.”

Huang Quan looked up at Ye Qin and said, “I want some water.”

Ye Qin locked eyes with her but didn’t move.

Huang Quan blinked, her black and white eyes staring directly at him.

Resigned, Ye Qin asked, “Where’s the water?”

“It’s in the room.”

Ye Qin said, “Wait here,” and went to fetch the water.

Huang Quan nodded in agreement.

Ye Qin quickly returned with a cup of water and placed it in front of Huang Quan. “Here, drink.”

Huang Quan took the water and had a sip.

After coughing so much, her throat was quite uncomfortable, so she asked for another cup.

Ye Qin brought a jug of water, and when Huang Quan requested more, he poured her another glass.

With the water, her throat felt much better.

Ye Qin looked at her and asked, “You can consume even the deathly aura from my body, but you can’t cure your own issues?”

“To treat an illness, you need to know its root cause,” Huang Quan explained. “However, as you’ve seen, my body is perfectly fine; it’s just weak. It’s a baffling and unreasonable contradiction. Even if I become more powerful, I can’t do anything if I don’t understand the cause.”

Ye Qin gazed at her and contemplated for a while before saying, “I will find the cause of your illness.”

Huang Quan was taken aback and shook her head, looking at him.

As their eyes met, Ye Qin said, “You help me suppress the death energy, and I’ll help you with your illness.”

Huang Quan responded, “Your deathly aura is indeed formidable, but at least you know its cause. My illness doesn’t have an identified cause, making it even harder to cure.”

“If we don’t know, then we’ll search,” Ye Qin told her. “If we can’t find the answers in Huang City, we’ll look in the Tianhuang Kingdom. If it’s not there, we’ll venture to even more distant places. If something exists, there’s always a reason for it. We will find it.”
