Super Gene Hunting Ground

Long Jing was cultivating the fourth stage, Marrow Cleansing, of the Genetic Evolution Method in a secluded courtyard.

Someone knocked on the door outside the courtyard. One of Long Jing’s maids walked over to open it and saw a familiar staff member from the Heavenly Dragon Academy’s message delivery room, and asked:

”Is there something you need?”

”Miss Xiao Lan, there’s someone outside the academy who claims to be Princess Long Jing’s friend and wants to see her. The guard at the gate asked if we should let them in.”

Xiao Lan asked:

”Who is this person outside?”

”He said his name is Yang Xiao and claims to be Princess Long Jing’s friend.”

Xiao Lan was momentarily taken aback.

Xiao Lan had once followed Long Jing to the Flying Leopard Academy and had personally seen Yang Xiao spar with Long Jing; she roughly understood the relationship between Long Jing and Yang Xiao.

After Long Jing left the Flying Leopard Academy and returned to the Heavenly Dragon Academy, Xiao Lan inadvertently asked once:

”Princess, if Young Master Yang comes looking for you, would you forgive him?”

Long Jing responded indifferently:

”If he cared about me, he would have come looking for me long ago. He hasn’t come for such a long time, clearly I don’t hold the highest place in his heart; that Xiao Ling is more important to him.”

”Perhaps Young Master Yang has his reasons?”

”Then he should explain to me. I’m not unreasonable, but surely, I shouldn’t have to beg him?”

Long Jing spoke, her heart slightly trembling.

Although she left the Flying Leopard Academy in a huff, her heart never stopped thinking about Yang Xiao. By the time she returned to the Heavenly Dragon Academy, she had some regrets.

However, as the Princess of the Great Dragon Empire, Long Jing could not possibly go back to find Yang Xiao, and she even said to Xiao Lan:

”From now on, I don’t know him!”

...

Xiao Lan looked at the staff member from the message delivery room, hesitated for a moment upon hearing that someone named Yang Xiao was looking for Princess Long Jing, and said:

”He might be mistaken, Princess Long Jing doesn’t know him, she won’t see him.”

The staff member didn’t bother to argue. He typed a line into the message transmitter:

”Don’t know him, won’t see him!”

The guard at the main gate of the Heavenly Dragon Academy held up the message transmitter in front of Yang Xiao, his face filled with mocking derision.

Yang Xiao looked at the message on the screen, ”Don’t know him, won’t see him,” and his heart sank.

Feeling awkward, Yang Xiao’s face flushed slightly. He said to the guard:

”Brother, could it be that the people inside got the name wrong?”

The guard sneered, saying:

”Brother, how could I be wrong? Look, there’s the original record here.”

The guard swiped the screen of the message transmitter, and the previous record appeared before Yang Xiao:

”Outside the campus, Yang Xiao requests to see Princess Long Jing, claiming to be her friend.”

”Young Master Yang, take a good look, no mistake?”

The guard’s smile was full of mockery.

Embarrassed, Yang Xiao scratched his head and murmured to himself:

”How is this possible? How could Jingjing say she doesn’t know me? We clearly...”

A thought crossed Yang Xiao’s mind, and he said:

”Could it be that someone inside transmitted the message incorrectly, that there was a slip of the tongue?”

The guard rolled his eyes and snorted coldly:

”Brother, saying that is senseless. I see you looking dignified and with a good demeanor. You don’t seem like one of those flashy playboys, so I kindly passed the message to you, not expecting you to be just like those other dandies. I told you from the start not to waste your energy. Princess Long Jing isn’t someone ordinary people can reach, so you’d best save yourself the trouble and leave quickly.”

The guard gave Yang Xiao a disdainful look, turned, and left, ignoring Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao gazed at the high luminescent gate of the Heavenly Dragon Academy and sighed.

If Long Jing doesn’t want to see me, there’s no point in staying here. I might as well leave for now.

With a heavy heart, Yang Xiao turned and walked away.

...

Long Jing finished a round of the Marrow Cleansing Genetic Technique.

Xiao Lan approached and called out:

”Princess, it’s time to eat.”

Long Jing nodded, washed her hands, and went inside to the dining room, sitting down at the table and began to eat.

Xiao Lan sat across from Long Jing, watching her eat, and finally couldn’t help but ask:

”Princess, do you still miss Young Master Yang?”

”Which Young Master Yang?”

Long Jing didn’t lift her head, casually asking while eating.

”The one named Yang Xiao, the one you sparred with at the Flying Leopard Academy.”

Long Jing paused, looked up at Xiao Lan, thought for a moment, then continued to eat while saying:

”Didn’t I say before? I’ve long forgotten him, I don’t know him anymore.”

”Oh! That’s good!”

Xiao Lan breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid she had messed things up, but now, hearing Long Jing say she had already forgotten Yang Xiao was a great relief for her decisive handling earlier.

Long Jing glanced at Xiao Lan,

”Why did you suddenly bring him up?”

”Oh, Princess, that bothersome Young Master Yang came looking for you just now.”

”Hmm?”

Long Jing abruptly looked up at Xiao Lan.

Startled, Xiao Lan quickly smiled and said:

”Princess, don’t worry, I’ve already sent him away.”

”?”

”Yang Xiao just came to the gate of the Heavenly Dragon Academy and told the guard he was your friend and wanted to see you. The message delivery person came to ask me if you wanted to see him, and seeing you were cultivating, I didn’t want to disturb you, so I made the decision myself and handled it.”

”?”

Noticing Long Jing’s strange expression, Xiao Lan hurriedly sped up her explanation:

”Princess, rest assured, I have my ways to deal with such scum. He was bragging to the guards outside saying he was a friend of yours, that he was very familiar with you. Do you know how I replied to him?”

”?”

At this moment, Long Jing’s heart was beating rapidly.

With an animated look, Xiao Lan proudly said:

”I simply replied to Yang Xiao with five words, ’Don’t know him, won’t see.’ How’s that? Princess, aren’t my five words perfect? I bet when Yang Xiao received them, he’d be so angry he’d spit blood, hahaha...”

Xiao Lan laughed triumphantly,

but suddenly, her laughter stopped abruptly because she saw Long Jing across the table with a face full of anger, and Long Jing had suddenly stood up from her seat.

”Princess?”

”How long ago did this happen?”

Xiao Lan was stunned, looking at Long Jing with some unease as she said:

”About half an hour ago.”

Hearing this, Long Jing turned and walked outside, and with a leap, she disappeared in an instant.

Xiao Lan stood up in fright and shouted after the princess:

”Princess, where are you going?”

”To the school gate.”

As soon as the words fell, Long Jing’s voice disappeared into the sky.

With a dumbfounded look, Xiao Lan looked up at the sky of Lanlan’s, feeling very frustrated and muttering to herself:

”Gosh, didn’t you say ’Don’t know him, won’t see him’? Those were your words, weren’t they? Did I do something wrong?”
