Chapter 86 – Where did His Highness the Crown Prince wrong you?

Jian Mei slept particularly soundly that night.

When he woke up, there was no one in the room. He sat up groggily and realized that the person beside him had already left. Carefully looking around, he noticed a small note on the bedside table.

Lu Xingwang left him a note: “I have to attend the morning court session. There’s a cup of warm water on the table. Remember to drink it when you get up.”

Jian Mei glanced at the alarm clock and saw that it was already eight o’clock.

Eight o’clock…

Jian Mei froze for a moment, almost rolling out of bed in a panic. He had originally planned to rush downstairs, but then he remembered to come back and gulp down half a cup of the warm water that had been kept warm at the bedside. Only then did he hastily put on his clothes and run downstairs. It was eight thirty, and he couldn’t be late for early self-study.

However, as soon as he descended the stairs, he found that the students downstairs were already assembled.

Hearing the movement on the stairs, Nan Feng raised his head and waved at him. “Hey, you’re awake.”

After a night’s rest, many people had obviously adjusted their state. Jian Mei looked towards Ying, who was sitting on the sofa, rubbing her head with a headache from waking up hungover.

Jian Mei descended the stairs and said, “I made some hangover soup in the kitchen last night.”

Ying was a little surprised but still smiled gratefully at Jian Mei. “Thank you, Jian Mei.”

Jian Mei shook his head.

“I seemed to have gone crazy with alcohol again last night,” Ying, who had always been straightforward, acknowledged her mistake. “I’m sorry, everyone, for causing trouble.”

Nan Feng glared at her. “You even know about it. The forest outside is burned down, who’s going to plant the trees? Isn’t it going to be me? You’re not just torturing everyone, you’re torturing me.”

Ying became indignant after hearing this. “It’s none of your business, I’ll take care of it myself.”

Nan Feng put his hands on his waist. “Do you think I want to meddle…”

The two of them were about to start arguing again.

Jian Mei had a real headache, but seeing Xiwu Heng standing nearby, he was afraid that the innocent child would be affected, so he went over to intervene.

However, Nan Feng’s gaze fell on Jian Mei. “Ah, Jian Mei, how was your sleep last night?”

Jian Mei froze, not expecting the conversation to turn to him.

Nan Feng gave a meaningful smile. “It must have been great, sleeping together with His Highness. If it were me, I’d be ecstatic.”

Jian Mei evaded the question, saying, “It was okay.”

“I’ve never been to His Highness’s room,” Nan Feng came over curiously and looked around, “Is his bed big? Soft? Does he have any high-tech gadgets in there?”

Before Jian Mei could answer, Ying retorted, “Are you dumb? Can he tell you confidential information? Also, His Highness’s room only has one bed, how can two people sleep in it? Jian Mei must have slept on the sofa.”

Nan Feng scratched his head. “Seems like it.”

Jian Mei tactfully pursed his lips to hide his guilt and remained silent.

He dared not say that originally it was the prince who was supposed to sleep on the sofa, let alone that he actually ended up sleeping on the bed. It would definitely cause unnecessary commotion if he did.

……..

After the group finished chatting, they headed towards the door.

Jian Mei realized belatedly, “We’re almost late. Isn’t anyone in a hurry?”

Nan Feng waved his hand. “Don’t worry, there won’t be classes today.”

Just as Jian Mei was about to ask why, sure enough, as soon as they stepped out of the dormitory door, Professor Aster and several professors from other academies were standing imposingly outside.

Aster said sternly, “Ying, Jian Mei, Xi Wuheng, come out here.”

A reckoning after the event.

Jian Mei didn’t know why he was being called, but he obediently stood up.

Professor Aster’s voice was stern. “You’re really audacious. Buying alcohol in the school supermarket is bad enough, but then you got drunk and even burned down the forest. How many times has this happened? Next time, are you going to demolish the academy? Hm?!”

Jian Mei listened with his head down, calculating what to eat for breakfast tomorrow.

Aster put her hands on her waist. “And you were coincidentally seen by His Highness. If it weren’t for His Highness’s intervention, who knows how bad things would have gotten. Are you not embarrassed enough?”

Ying and Nan Feng hung their heads in shame.

Professor Hukan was a typical flatterer of the prince and became particularly enthusiastic at the mention of him: “Getting crazy after drinking, and the fire even reached three stories high. It’s thanks to His Highness’s timely intervention that the losses were controlled.” Aster nodded in agreement. “We must find an opportunity to thank His Highness properly afterward.”

The other students dared not say anything.

Students from the SA class have always been arrogant, even if they know they’re in the wrong, only few genuinely repent.

Aster said, “You all are responsible for repairing the forest within a week, otherwise, your credits will be deducted.”

Nan Feng couldn’t believe it. “Teacher, does this include us?”

“Why wouldn’t it?” Aster retorted. “Aren’t you all in the same class, living in the same dorm? When something happens, you all have a responsibility to intervene promptly.”

It was settled.

Indeed, there wouldn’t be classes today. Jian Mei finally understood why everyone wasn’t in a hurry—it was because they already knew about the tree planting.

After Aster and the other teachers left, Nan Feng looked at the forest, which was almost unrecognizable after the fire, and lamented, “Which one of you have Earth Divine Powers? I can’t do this all by myself!”

Xi Wu Heng raised his hand slowly.

There were only two students who possessed Earth Divine Power, one could plant trees, and the other could destroy them entirely.

Nan Feng despaired. “Forget it, don’t make things worse.”

Although reality was harsh, it was necessary to be serious when working. The forest was so badly burned that it was horrifying to look at, riddled with holes.

Nan Feng said, “Yunshi.”

The freshman Yunshi stepped forward. Jian Mei had always known about his healing abilities, but he had only heard that he could transfer injuries and illnesses from patients. Today was the first time he saw Yunshi use his abilities. He walked up and placed his hand on a rabbit that was badly burned and near to death. A pale green light shone on the animal, and after a while, the rabbit stood up and hopped around lively.

After a while, Yunshi stood up. “The damage covers about half of the forest, and most of the animals have relocated to the other half. There haven’t been many casualties.”

Jian Mei was curious. “How do you know?”

Nan Feng smiled. “Yunshi can transfer pain to himself and share memories with the injured.”

Jian Mei widened his eyes, incredulous. “Then, did you get injured?”

Yunshi smiled. “Just a minor injury, nothing serious.”

Nan Feng came over and patted Yunshi’s shoulder. “This little rabbit’s injury is nothing.Yunshi usually practices on patients on the brink of death in the hospital.”

Jian Mei stuttered, “Isn’t that too dangerous?”

Jian Mei and Yunshi had rarely met before, so Jian Mei didn’t know much about him. He just felt that Yunshi seemed to prefer being with animals rather than people, and he spoke very little.

Yunshi calmly distanced himself from Nan Feng and maintained a faint smile as he replied to Jian Mei, “It’s all about mastering the balance through repeated practice.”

“…”

Why do you all speak of life and death so casually?

But he thought that was shocking enough, only to find out that the real shock was yet to come.

It was also the first time he saw the SA class, with their divine powers, cooperating and using their abilities. Some trees in the forest, already dead from the fire, would hinder the growth of new saplings. Xiwu Heng stood nearby, extending his hand, and the towering trees slowly turned to ashes. On the ground, there were many burned and withered vines and branches. Ying’s flames spread, burning everything within a hundred miles.

Yunshi led the injured animals to explore, informing everyone if there were any animals nearby that hadn’t evacuated in time.

And Jian Mei… was responsible for sowing seeds.

Nan Feng squatted down, and the wind in the forest gradually began to swirl. With him as the center, the seeds of new trees slowly sprouted, grew, and branches slowly emerged, gradually filling the empty space. About five or six minutes later, the surroundings were lush and vibrant again with the newly sprouted trees.

Wouldn’t this be exhausting after a while?

Before long, most people couldn’t hold on anymore. The rapid consumption of divine power was the most mentally taxing, especially for Nan Feng, who was exhausted and collapsed on the ground.

Jian Mei suggested, “I’ll go buy some food for you guys.”

Nan Feng raised his finger. “I want two servings.”

Jian Mei nodded. “Sure .”

Everyone was exhausted, and although Jian Mei was tired from sowing seeds, he wasn’t as mentally drained. Plus, he could ride a small electric bike to buy food, so it wasn’t too difficult. Since their cafeteria was also burned down, he needed to detour to the campus center to buy food.

Ding

A message notification appeared on his terminal.

Jian Mei opened it, surprised to see a message from Shen Huai: “Mei Mei, I heard there was a fire at your dorm last night. Is it true?”

Jian Mei replied, “Yes, it’s true.”

“Is it serious?”

“It’s alright.”

Unconsciously, he had also been influenced by others a bit. In the eyes of others, where there were significant casualties and losses, he could also say it was alright.

Shen Huai asked, “Are you still doing cleanup work now?”

“No,” Jian Mei admitted honestly. “I’m outside buying food.”

Shen Huai said, “At the central campus?, I’m here too.”

Jian Mei was quite happy. “Where are you?”

After a brief exchange, they quickly arranged to meet. After understanding the situation, Shen Huai said, “Then I can also help. I have Earth divine powers .”

Only then did Jian Mei recall. He was somewhat excited. “Right, with you here, Nan Feng can share a lot of pressure.”

Shen Huai humbly said, “I’m just offering a little help. The SA students are all so powerful, I’m nowhere near their level.”

Jian Mei said, “Don’t underestimate yourself. That forest is really vast. If you can help, that would be great.”

Shen Huai smiled. “I’ll do what I can.”

After a brief discussion, Shen Huai followed Jian Mei to the SA’s forest area. The smell of charred wood permeated the air, indicating how intense yesterday’s battle was.

Jian Mei brought the food over and distributed it to everyone. “Food’s here.”

Nan Feng, who had been lying down, jumped up. “Thanks, Xiao MeiMei!”

Only then did he notice Shen Huai. Their eyes met, and he looked somewhat surprised. “Who’s this?”

Jian Mei explained, “He’s my friend. He’s also have Earth Divine Power and can lend a hand.”

Nan Feng smiled after hearing this. “Oh, that’s perfect! It’s great to finally have someone who have Earth Divine Powers. Brother, you really saved me big time.”

Shen Huai had always heard that people from the SA class were very dangerous, so he had always thought that maybe they wouldn’t be easy to get along with. Unexpectedly, they were so amiable, which made him feel much more relaxed.

With someone helping, the progress was much faster, but it was still tiring.

Jian Mei worked on logistics nearby, but the growth of plants still required a significant amount of divine power and physical strength. Shen Huai was far less capable than Nan Feng. After a while, sweat appeared on his forehead, and he couldn’t hold on any longer. However, when he looked at Nan Feng not far away, he found that Nan Feng was faster and more stable, with a better grasp of plant growth. There was no sign that he had been busy all morning.

Comparing the two, Shen Huai could only accept his inferiority in terms of skill.

Jian Mei asked from the side, “Are you okay?”

Suddenly remembering Jian Mei’s ability, Shen Huai tentatively asked, “Meimei, can you hold my hand?”

Jian Mei had never heard such a request before, feeling puzzled. “Huh?”

Shen Huai was somewhat hopeful. “Can you?”

Although Jian Mei found it strange, he still agreed with a nod. “Okay.”

Shen Huai held Jian Mei’s hand and once again half squatted down, activating the divine power within him. He found that it seemed a bit easier than before, but the effect was not significant. However, he remembered that Jian Mei’s powers were very strong, so he was somewhat puzzled. “Strange…”

Jian Mei asked, “What’s wrong?”

Shen Huai thought for a moment before saying, “Meimei, do you feel anything when you hold my hand?”

Jian Mei didn’t feel much, but didn’t want to say nothing, so he honestly admitted, “A bit warm.”

Shen Huai fell silent for a moment.

This shouldn’t be. Previously, Jian Mei’s power was very effective. At that time, he could grow herbs without intimate contact. Even the water handed to him by Jian Mei had an effect. Could it be related to thoughts? They usually had to concentrate to use divine power, and Jian Mei obviously didn’t have that habit.

Shen Huai tentatively asked, “Can you think of me?”

Jian Mei widened his eyes and stuttered, “Wh-what do you mean?”

Shen Huai realized he misspoke and quickly corrected himself, “I mean, can you just think of me in your mind, like cheering me on, giving me some strength, that kind of thought.”

Although Jian Mei didn’t understand why he had to do this, he still nodded. “Okay.”

So Shen Huai took a deep breath and began to exert his divine power again. In a new area, when he used his divine power again, the green light emanating from his hand became denser, and saplings began to sprout, take root, and grow again at a speed more than twice as fast as before, even faintly catching up with Nan Feng’s trend.

Shen Huai’s eyes lit up. “It’s a success!”

Nan Feng nearby also noticed and quickly walked over, exclaiming, “Brother Shen, you’re amazing!”

Shen Huai humbly said, “No, no, it’s all thanks to Meimei.”

Jian Mei still looked puzzled.

After hesitating for a moment, Shen Huai expressed his understanding of Jian Mei’s abilities. Although he knew this might be somewhat shocking, the truth would eventually come out, and these people seemed trustworthy, so he dared to speak.

Nan Feng’s eyes widened after hearing Shen Huai’s explanation. He quickly said, “I’m exhausted, Meimei, if you have this ability, why didn’t you say it earlier? Come on, quickly hold my hand.”

Jian Mei hesitated, “…”

He didn’t want to; Nan Feng’s hands were all muddy.

But Nan Feng didn’t feel rejected. Instead, he leaned in persistently, “Come on, come on, verify it quickly. If we finish early, we’ll go out for a big meal!”

Jian Mei reluctantly nodded, “Okay.”

…….

Meanwhile, on the other side,

After the Emperor and Concubine Xi became suspicious, they couldn’t just sit idly by. Out of curiosity about their future daughter-in-law, the emperor had long sent people to secretly investigate, wanting to see who exactly was capable of controlling his son. Today, due to the big fire, the barrier of the SA class forest had been slightly damaged, allowing the investigators to sneak in.

Originally, the investigators just wanted to take some photos and leave. However, they didn’t expect that after arriving, they would see Jian Mei pulling and holding hands with other male classmates, not just one, but two!

……

The investigators were utterly shocked. They had never imagined there would be someone in this world who would bite the hand that feeds them. They wondered what the Crown Prince had done to deserve such treatment. Seeing the somewhat unpleasant scene nearby, they fell into contemplation, hesitating whether to take photos or not.

Would His Majesty have a stroke when he sees this?

Wait, the most important thing now isn’t whether His Majesty will approve of this, but rather… Your Highness, wearing a green hat?
