"As for helping Rong Li, I will consider it. Not because of your plea or Elder Kula's coercion, but because I am a medical practitioner. You can leave. No need to come back in the future."
Without another word, she turned and went back to her Master's work cabin.
Teng Wang stood frozen in place.
He could not describe his feelings. The lingering feelings he held for the girl hadn't disappeared over the years. They had on the contrary, actually taken root in the deepest part of his heart.
But in front of her, he realized that he didn't even amount to anything. He didn't even possess the qualification to protect her.
He should be happy that she was considering in helping Rong Li. After all, with her help, the possibility of him recovering was higher. However, he wasn't able to find it within himself to feel joyful.
With a bitter smile on his face, Teng Wang took one last glance in the direction she disappeared, and left.
Lu Yei, who caught the sadness in the guy's eyes, was instantly conflicted.
She didn't need to be told to know the senior brother had feelings for sister Qamari. His every look and expression when she came into the hall, expressed his emotions without him even saying anything.
However, from sister Qamari's indifferent attitude, she could tell his feelings were one-sided.
Sighing in pity for the unfortunate guy, Lu Yei went after Princess Qamari.
Princess Qamari held an ancient herb with utmost concentration. From an old parchment in the Building of Knowledge, she came to know that the plant had various uses, one of which included the recovery of elemental level.
However, the plant was also useless on its own. It needed the aid of spiritual herb and ancient ginseng, which were only found in the northwest of the Iris realm.
"Sister Qamari, weren't you a little too cold earlier?" At this instant, Lu Yei appeared beside, asking quietly.
She felt bad for the handsome guy that left with a heartbroken expression. Princess Qamari, the person of his affection, wasn't even concerned about him. She was engrossed in her plants the second she entered the work cabin.
"No, I was the same as always." Princess Qamari found nothing wrong in her behavior towards the guy.
She looked at the girl with a confused frown.
She neither scolded nor shouted at him, so what was Lu Yei talking about?
Seeing her confusion, Lu Yei felt stumped.
What was this? The concerned party wasn't even aware of the other's feelings?
For a second, she felt at a loss, not knowing how to respond.
After a moment of silence, Lu Yei finally couldn't hold herself back. Grabbing Princess Qamari's shoulders, she seriously looked at the later in the eyes.
"Sister Qamari, I feel that that senior brother has feelings for you. I saw it the moment he looked at you!"
"Okay."
"Okay? That's all? Okay?" She dazedly gazed at her sister Qamari, incomprehension written all over her face.
'Sigh, why are people always interested in complicating matters?' Princess Qamari wondered in frustration.
She knew how the guy looked at her, but so what? What did his feelings have anything to do with her? She had never encouraged him nor had she given him hope. So, what did his unwanted attention have to do with her?
"Yes, that's all." Replying in the same indifferent voice as ever, she returned back to her plant.
"Sister Qamari, the guy likes you! Likes you, I say! But this has no affect on you? It makes no difference to you? Why?"
"Why not? Am I required to accept or respond to another person's feelings just because they like me?"
"No, but...but"
"If so, then why should his feelings have any affect on me. Whether he likes me or not, that is his own business. As for me, I am not interested. So, don't ever mention this topic to me again."
"Why aren't you interested? He is so good-looking, gentle, and kind. But most of all, he likes you so much, that he is willing to dedicate his life to protect you."
Princess Qamari was almost tempted to mention the fact that she was a married woman. But thinking of the fact that her marriage was her own business and had nothing to do with others, she changed her words.
"If one's heart is not moved, than no matter how good-looking, gentle, or kind a person is, it will not matter. My heart is not moved, so what does it matter if he likes me. Lu Yei, please leave me alone. I want to continue my research in peace." No longer wanting to talk about this topic, Princess Qamari took her herbal plant and shifted to another work table.
Lu Yei looked at the cold and indifferent princess, finding it a pity that for all her grace, intelligence, and beauty, the princess was nothing but an ice cube with no heart to feel the warmth of others.
Shaking her head, she turned and left the work cabin.
Princess Qamari turned to look at her departing figure, before turning back to her plant.
However, her mind was no longer on research. She was thinking about her husband, whom she hadn't seen in six months.
"It has been six months already. Does he still remember me, his one day wife? Does he miss me, or has he found someone else?" There was an undisguised melancholy in her purple eyes as he thought about her long-separated husband.
Although she never showed it, in her heart, she always thought about him.
Since the day of their marriage, he had already become her only one.
He was not only her husband, but also, the only individual she could consider her family without hesitation.
But this family member of hers, did he still remember that he had a wife somewhere?

Crown Prince Lail returned to the Mistland Academy, looking as fresh and clean as he left, with the rest of his team.
"Senior Brothers, you are back!" Immediately, a group of girls surrounded the team, smiling and blushing as they stared at the Crown Prince with unconcealed adoration.
"Yes, we are back safe and sound!" The other male members responded joyously to the females who completely ignored them. Their entire attention was focused on the black robed, stoic Crown Prince Lail.
In the entire academy, Crown Prince Lail was the only first year that had received the respect and status of a senior student.
One was because of the founder's plaque that he held.
The second was because of his insuppressible talent.
Although the academy elders were not clear what level his magical talent was at, just by his overbearing might and domineering spells, they were certain that it was above green level.
As such, the whole academy treated the new first year with admiration and adoration.
Crown Prince Lail was helpless with this turn of events.
He learned a great deal about magic, spiritual weapons, ancient spells, and other miscellaneous stuff that he would've never learned else where.
However, the environment here did not fit his taste.
And neither did the cluster of unbearably perfumed females.
The more he stayed in the academy, the greater his desire to leave became.
If before, he only wanted to find his wife as soon as possible and keep her glued to his side forever, then now, he wished to find her and leave the academy all together.
He no longer wanted to stay around. Because even though live was nice and peaceful, it was not the kind he preferred. It was not the silence he liked.
Ignoring the scrambling females, he indifferently walked past them, heading towards the Missions Hall.
"Kyaaah! Even though Brother Lail did not reply to our greetings, his cold and indifferent look is still the most charming!"
"Did you feel his aura when he walked by? It was so overwhelming that I was close to fainting. Such a domineering presence, even the elders do not possess."
"Hahaha...of course! After all, he is a descent of the founder. Could the elders possibly compete with him?"
"I want to marry him!"
"You wish! Don't you see senior Murong doggedly chasing him? I even overhead one of the elders mention that the dean was going to act as an elder and fix their marriage."
"What? No way! How could the dean force his disciple on Brother Lail? He obviously has no interest in the latter. Otherwise, even after pursuing him for an entire six months, why is there no development in their relationship?"
"Yes! This is an injustice to Brother Lail. Let's go and personally question the dean."
"Yes! Yes! Let's go!"
Self-righteously enraged on behalf of Crown Prince Lail, the group of female students surged towards the main academy building.
Murong Ling walked complacently beside Crown Prince Lail, appearing elegant and delicate beside the breathtaking man. The two, along with the rest of their team, entered the Missions Hall together.
"Elder Lu, I am here to admit our mission for the obtaining the ancient Boar Serpent's horn." Passing over the item, Crown Prince Lail patiently waited for the elder to complete his evaluation.
"Yes, yes. You have truly obtained the horn of the ancient Boar Serpent. This mission is a success. Little friend Lail, you are extraordinary indeed." The elder sighed in lament.
Some geniuses were just like this.
Barely even half a year into the academy, and they could already complete tasks that only graduating seniors were capable of.
Recalling the dean's decision to tie the kid to the academy through his disciple, the elder could not help but praise him internally.
'No wonder he is the dean. Truly worthy of being the head of the academy. If we retain such a genius in our academy, then in the future, we would not have to fear the other academies poaching him. Hehehe...'
"Elder Lu, are we good to go then?" Crown Prince Lail, completely unaware of the elder's thoughts, asked in his usual indifferent manner.
"Yes, yes. Of course. Oh, right! I almost forgot to congratulate you. Congratulations, little friend Lail, for gaining the dean's approval as a prospective groom for his only disciple." The elder smiled brightly as he looked at the stoic young man.
The more he looked, the more he became pleasing to his eyes.
"What?"
What greeted him, however, was an enraged growl.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
"As for helping Rong Li, I will consider it. Not because of your plea or Elder Kula's coercion, but because I am a medical practitioner. You can leave. No need to come back in the future."
Without another word, she turned and went back to her Master's work cabin.
