Chapter 2738 - The Crown Prince’s Fiancee

??

Zuo Qingluan took another step forward and beamed at the old man. “I’m Zuo Qingluan…”

However, Elder Mei cut her off impatiently and scolded her. “What’s your problem, young lady? Can’t you see how busy I am? I don’t have time to exchange pleasantries! Out of my way!”

No one had ever spoken to Zuo Qingluan like that before. The old man made her sound like an unruly child when she was, in fact, the sacred lady of Firmament Palace.

Even my master, the head of Firmament Palace, has never talked to me like that, you old fool!?thought Zuo Qingluan, her face twisted with rage.

Ahem…?

The others looked away in embarrassment.

Mr. Wang of Class D had openly opposed Feng Wu, so Zuo Qingluan had contacted him beforehand and paid him to keep slandering Feng Wu.

Seeing what was going on, Mr. Wang stepped out and smiled obsequiously. “Elder Mei, Miss Qingluan is our new vice chief…”

He tried to remind the old man to show the girl some respect.

However, it only made Elder Mei dislike Zuo Qingluan even more.

He didn’t pay much attention to her at first, but Mr. Wang mentioned “vice chief.”

“What vice chief?” Elder Mei frowned.

Mr. Wang smiled. “Chief Zixuan went to Peace Grassland, so she made Miss Qingluan the acting vice chief. Miss Qingluan is very capable…”

“Nonsense!” Elder Mei cut him off. “If Zixuan is absent, it’s the school who decides who will replace her. She’s just a vice chief! She has no right to hand out job offers!”

Everyone fell silent, and Zuo Qingluan felt mortified.

Elder Mei turned to Gongsun Mu. “Is this how you’ve been running the War Academy? Do you think the elders are dead?!”

Gongsun Mu smiled bitterly.

“Miss Zuo is the sacred lady of Firmament Palace. The master of the palace wrote a letter herself…”

Elder Mei’s face darkened.

“Is this place Imperial College or Firmament Palace? Since when can her letter guarantee a position in our school?! Are they handing out random job offers now? This is preposterous!” Elder Mei bellowed. “You people are making a mess while the elders are focused on Peace Grassland! Are you trying to give us a heart attack?!”

“No, it’s not like that…” Gongsun Mu tried to explain himself…

However, Elder Mei wouldn’t let him.

“The chief is cultivating in seclusion, and the 36 elders are either in seclusion or watching Peace Grassland. I thought you could run the school properly, but you’ve disappointed me!”

Seeing Zuo Qingluan’s pale face, Mr. Wang said awkwardly, “It was His Royal Highness, Elder Mei. His Royal Highness gave the order to make Miss Qingluan vice chief.”

“What?” Elder Mei frowned.

Jun Linyuan?

Elder Mei might not trust Gongsun Mu, but he had faith in the crown prince.

“Did he say so in person?” Elder Mei wasn’t convinced.

The crown prince had some questionable taste in women…

However, Mr. Wang sounded very convinced when he said, “Yes, Miss Qingluan is His Royal Highness’s fiancee, and they’re going to get married soon.”

Zuo Qingluan’s stomach lurched.
