Superhumans of the Dome City-Chapter 1387 - 8: Crown Prince’s Companion Reader (Part 2)

Shiyu Ling opened his mouth wide: "Are all your Empire schools prisons..."

"I haven’t finished yet. From the outer gate to the inner gate of the Imperial Academy Supervisor, there is a special Barrier, so high-level that my intrusion was barely noticeable." Gongsun Ce shrugged, "I won’t comment on other Empire schools, but the inner gate of the Imperial Academy Supervisor is the world’s most top-notch prison. Officially, a lot of effort was put into building this secret realm to firmly lock in the country’s most gifted students."

"Practicing Impermanence Skill requires extra caution, but strict surveillance can easily lead to negative effects, and the Empire officials surely understand this truth." Alandia said.

"Yes, there is another reason for this surveillance." Gongsun Ce nodded, "Now we have to discuss a second issue, there are issues with the identities of the disciples in the inner gate of the Imperial Academy Supervisor. After I got this token and chatted with Mr. Liu of that year, I noticed he had a bit of sympathy for me. Think about how strange this is? You were accepted into the country’s highest academy, but your fellow students express sympathy? No matter how much schoolwork there is, it shouldn’t be like this, right?"

"This indicates the nature of the students in the inner gate of the Imperial Academy Supervisor is unique." Alandia said, "There is a commonality among them beyond talent..."

"Mr. Liu and the President don’t have anything to say? Just let me guess all on my own?" Gongsun Ce sighed.

"Uncle Liu anticipated you would ask about this and specially left a message for you." Qin Qianbai took out a piece of paper and, mimicking Liu Zhongwu’s tone, read, "The core of Fan Ding Realm and the Empire lies in ’stability’; any cause that endangers stability will inevitably lead to calamity. ’External’ information is easily rejected by Fan Ding Realm, not because we intentionally conceal it, but out of concern for you and the grand plan’s safety, hoping classmates do not blame us."

She paused for a moment, then continued: "Also, how is Yan Qi’s current condition? What about his combat strength?"

"Ah, Yan Qi... his demeanor is more arrogant than 13 years later; he’s wearing a silly blindfold, haven’t observed much else for now. He used a Divine Skill of drawing lines to imprison me, the performance showed Brahma’s appearance·Manifestation, probably hasn’t achieved Carefree Prison yet." Gongsun Ce touched his chin, "But Heavenly Extreme Palace is already achieved, still displaying inexplicable conduct, kind of hard to understand."

"Understood. Uncle Liu gave one more piece of advice." Qin Qianbai nodded, "Note: Since that time, Yan Qi has had few friends; if possible, chat with him sometimes."

"Can’t even find the guy, how to chat with him." Gongsun Ce sighed, "OK, I get it, anyway, they’re all here, I can investigate by myself; I’m using speedy time here for practice anyway... Concealing too long can cause trouble so I’m off for now, will contact depending on circumstances irregularly later, thanks for your hard work Qiluo."

"No problem, no problem, be careful Gongsun Ce~"

Qiluo blinked with starry eyes, jumped out of the television. The cat-headed TV blinked a few times, returned to darkness, transformed into pink bubbles and disappeared.

Gongsun Ce took out a gray rabbit and placed it on the nightstand; the pointer in the rabbit’s arms remained still, indicating that his high-profile entrance battle hadn’t had much impact on "history."

"Unknown turning point, unknown intelligence, unknown deadline...this task will take some endurance."

The midday sunlight filtered through the trees outside his window, shining on him as he turned over and lightly dozed off.

"Three days into inner gate studies, how do you find it, classmates?"

"Courses are concise, teachers are excellent, every word is invaluable, and I have benefited greatly from it." Gongsun Ce packed up his stationery.

"Yet at this moment, you furrow your brow, do you think this history class was inadequate?"

"The history class was great, Mr. Qin An’s lessons were enlightening and I learned a lot in two hours." Gongsun Ce hoisted his backpack, speaking sincerely, "I’m in a bad mood because I really don’t want to talk to you, can you keep a distance Situ classmate?"

Afternoon history class just ended, the teaching Mr. Qin left with his lesson plan, Situ Yi stood by Gongsun Ce’s desk, covered face and sighed: "Pity my good intentions to get close met with a cold-hearted companion~!"

"You can sing leisurely, but the classmate went to buy pastries."

"Gongsun classmate stay, shall we go together~?"

Gongsun Ce swung his backpack and left. Situ Yi wasn’t offended, still followed with a grin, like a sticky plaster that couldn’t be shaken off.

Having been in the Imperial Academy for three days, aside from familiarizing the terrain and gathering information, Gongsun Ce attended classes. Courses at the Imperial Academy’s inner gate are tailor-made for each student, occasionally mixing with outer gate for larger lectures, while the rest are small classes for one or several inner gate students. He hadn’t found a chance to communicate with the elusive Yan Qi, got his schedule mismatched with Qin Ming, and got quite familiar with the straightforward Liu Zhongwu, but the one he deliberately avoided, Situ Yi, seemed to catch a scent, constantly bothering him like a pesky fly.

Deep down, he knew this was entirely out of misplaced anger, the Faceless God had been slain by his own hand, the Situ Yi from 13 years ago was merely a historical illusion created by Fan Ding Realm. Yet he still couldn’t find a way to be cordial, since the resentment towards someone wouldn’t dissipate with time.

"Gongsun, don’t be like that, Situ means no harm, he just looks for fun and found you interesting, so he came here for a peek..." Liu Zhongwu hurried over to smooth things over.

"I have a peculiar personality, really can’t get along with him." Gongsun Ce shook his head, "Besides, my study progress in the past few days hasn’t been great; not in the mood for chatting. How am I supposed to decipher that ’Mystery of Unity’? Is Mr. Zhang expecting us to see flowers through glass?"
