Chapter 307: Chapter 222: Wang Qingci: The Prince has Changed_3

“Recruitment?” Lu Chen smiled lightly.

“You’re thinking too much, I have no intention of recruiting them.”

This…

If Lu Chen isn’t going to recruit them, how could they possibly come to North Country? It was clear that Lu Chen was still not very interested in Universal Academy.

It made sense, after all. Lu Chen was the supreme ruler of North Country. Although he said he wouldn’t be too opposed to them, deep down he surely wasn’t very interested in the scholars from Universal Academy.

Just as Wang Qingci was thinking this, Lu Chen suddenly said, “Universal Academy is already mine; there is no need for me to recruit them.”

What?

Upon hearing Lu Chen’s words, Wang Qingci was completely stunned. She seriously wondered if there was something wrong with her ears, causing her to hallucinate.

After recovering her wits, Wang Qingci immediately asked, “Your Highness, you aren’t joking with me, are you? Universal Academy is yours?”

Lu Chen asked with a smile, “What, are you surprised?”

“This slave…”

Wang Qingci hesitated, lost for words. This was no longer a matter of being surprised or not.

Universal Academy was located within the Great Qian Dynasty, and the whole academy belonged to Lu Chen?

As far as she knew, Universal Academy’s history seemed to precede Lu Chen’s age by quite a bit, didn’t it? Universal Academy had been around for decades, founded by Zhuge Zhongguang in his youth. How could it now all belong to Lu Chen?

Curious, Wang Qingci inquired, “Your Highness, is Zhuge Zhongguang also one of your people?”

Lu Chen replied, “Naturally.”

“His trip to the Da Yue Dynasty wasn’t to pledge allegiance to them but to come to North Country.”

“In a few days, Zhuge Zhongguang will arrive in Yan County.”

This…

Although it seemed unbelievable, Wang Qingci quickly came to accept this shocking news. After all, she was dealing with Lu Chen, a miraculous man who had broken through to the Grandmaster Realm at the mere age of seventeen. Nothing seemed impossible with him.

After thinking for a moment, Wang Qingci then said, “Since Universal Academy is under your influence, this slave will no longer pay attention to its affairs.”

“No, you should still keep a close eye on Universal Academy’s situation. Universal Academy is still within Great Qian’s borders and hasn’t moved to North Country yet. If something happens to Universal Academy, Rain- Listening Pavilion can provide appropriate assistance from the shadows.”

Wang Qingci said, “This slave understands. If there’s nothing else, I shall take my leave now.”

“Yes, go ahead. You have things to do.”

As his voice faded, Lu Chen lowered his head and picked up the intelligence report that Qin Yushan had brought earlier, reading it carefully.

Seeing this, Wang Qingci pursed her cherry lips. Lu Chen’s recent changes were indeed significant. If it had been before, he would have surely reprimanded her in the study. But now, Lu Chen didn’t scold her in the study anymore, making her feel quite uncomfortable.

With a soft sigh, Wang Qingci felt that the Young Prince was becoming too serious, which wasn’t necessarily a good thing.

Just as Wang Qingci was feeling sentimental, Lu Chen noticed that she did not leave the study immediately. He looked up at her and asked curiously, “What’s wrong? Do you have something else on your mind?”

Wang Qingci quickly responded, “No… nothing, this slave is leaving now.”

With that, she turned around and left the study.

Wang Qingci thought to herself, the absurd things Lu Chen had done in the past were due to his youth, being only sixteen or seventeen years old.

As Lu Chen grew older, his temperament would become more mature. The mature Lu Chen might not do those absurd things anymore.

For some reason, she didn’t want Lu Chen to grow up. In the past, she could act like an older sister in front of him, then provoke him, spurring him to give her a good punishment.

But in the future, it likely wouldn’t be the same. Once a person matures, their thoughts change as well. If she continued to tease Lu Chen like before, it might not excite him but instead could make him dislike her.

The thought made Wang Qingci feel extremely dejected.

She had realized that this day would come, but she hadn’t expected it to come so quickly. Within a year’s time, there had been such a great change in Lu Chen, becoming so mature, so manly.

She still preferred the Young Prince who would carelessly lay hands on her, always thinking about treating her roughly.

The more Wang Qingci thought about it, the more suffocated she felt.

Lu Chen also sensed something was off with Wang Qingci.

He always felt that Wang Qingci had something on her mind.

Lu Chen then accessed Wang Qingci’s personal profile.

[Name: Wang Qingci]

[Status: The North Prince’s favorite female slave, the North Prince’s concubine, Tower Master of the Rain-Listening Pavilion, Half-step Grandmaster. She has noticed that the North Prince has changed recently; he has become more serious, mature, and no longer treats her as he used to, which makes her feel very despondent, feeling that the North Prince is tired of playing with his female slave and might abandon her at any moment.]

[Rating: 95]

[Favorability: 100]

This-

Seeing Wang Qingci’s latest profile, Lu Chen was somewhat speechless.

Indeed, he hadn’t been treating Wang Qingci in the same way lately. One reason was that he was so occupied with endless affairs of state that he hardly had any thoughts about women when he was in his study, so whenever Wang Qingci came to the study, he talked about business.

Despite rarely engaging in such acts with Wang Qingci in the study, he would still visit her room occasionally at night and role-play with her.

So Wang Qingci thought he had changed? And even felt despondent about it?

Could it be that, in Wang Qingci’s mind, his previous way of treating her indicated care, and now that he had suddenly become so serious, it meant he no longer liked her?

Heh…
