Chapter 17

As the wind blew the cherry blossoms, Misaki opened the old diary and read the words of promise written there.

---

In the midst of the scene before her, Soning Bing's charm reminded Lanling of a certain summer day on Earth, when his sister Lancome was taking a nap, dressed very lightly. She lay on her side, her body slightly curved, her curves prominent, and the buttons on her chest were undone, revealing a deep, snow-white valley, incredibly alluring.

Perhaps because of the heat, under some inexplicable influence, Lanling actually leaned down and kissed his sister Lancome on the lips, and then his right hand uncontrollably touched her body.

After doing these bad things, he realized he was scared and immediately fled from his sister's room. Later, he recalled that although his sister did not open her eyes, her face instantly turned red.

Moreover, that evening, when his sister called him for dinner, she gave him a light scolding glance, almost as if she was about to call him a "bad guy."

At that moment, Soning Bing's charm was exactly the same as Lancome's back then.

By the time Lanling came to his senses, Soning Bing's fragrant figure had already disappeared. Only Ye Jingyu's half-smiling, half-severe gaze remained.

"Don't forget, she is your sister," Ye Jingyu said half-jokingly, half-warningly.

Lanling smiled but said nothing. He was determined to marry his sister, and no one could change his will.

...

About half an hour later, Soning Bing returned to the carriage, her expression serious.

"Sister, is the situation very serious?" Lanling asked.

"It's Vice President Rog, who is determined to expel you," Soning Bing said. "He is the teacher of Princess Zining."

In this world, only direct disciples can call their teachers "teachers," generally referring to them as mentors.

"Zining, that bitch again," Lanling said coldly. Since coming to this world, the person he hated the most was Princess Zining.

Hearing Lanling curse, Soning Bing did not feel upset; instead, she thought that if Solon had been as wise as Lanling, he would not have died so tragically.

"Has the decision to expel me been passed by the college committee?" Lanling asked.

"Srog is the first vice president of the college and the head of the noble division. He has the authority to expel you without the need for the college committee's approval," Soning Bing said.

If it were any other time, being expelled would be fine; attending the Royal City College was not a big deal. But now, it was related to inheriting the title. If he were expelled from the Royal City College, Lanling's chance of inheriting the title would be completely ruined.

From this, it can be concluded that Duke Ziting had indeed been working hard after receiving the money. Zili and Zining felt the pressure and resorted to this desperate measure.

The Royal City College has never expelled noble students before. Vice President Rog would have to pay a certain price for this exception.

Therefore, this expulsion of Solon was undoubtedly orchestrated by Princess Zining, with the aim of preventing (Solon) Lanling from smoothly inheriting the title.

"Is there anyone who can change this decision and have the college revoke the order?" Lanling asked.

"President Jianyong, the Marquis," Soning Bing said.

Lanling asked, "What is his relationship with our Suo family?"

"Not good," Soning Bing said. "He abandoned his family's territory and is fully immersed in academia, very proud, and he detests students like Solon."

Ye Jingyu was silent for a moment and then said, "The path to the president is definitely not feasible; he has a deep grudge against Solon."

Lanling was taken aback. Solon was a minor figure, and President Jianyong was a major figure. Their statuses were vastly different, and it didn't seem like they had any deep grudge.

Ye Jingyu said, "According to rumors, the female mentor Nia that Solon was involved with is President Jianyong's daughter-in-law, and they were caught in the act. Because family disgrace should not be publicized and he cannot use public power for personal revenge, President Jianyong would have torn Solon to pieces if he could."

Lanling almost spat out a mouthful of blood. Solon really knew how to court death. Sleeping with a female teacher was bad enough, but it was even worse that she was the president's daughter-in-law.

In such a situation, it would be considered noble and broad-minded for the president not to kill you. Asking for his help was like a dream; jumping into the sea to commit suicide would be simpler.

Lanling asked, "Can Duke Ziting be asked to intervene?"

Soning Bing shook her head and said, "The Royal City College is very independent, and the royal family cannot easily interfere. Asking Duke Ziting to intervene would only backfire. The Royal City College despises and dislikes people like Duke Ziting."

In this case, is there really no way out?

Can we just watch as I am expelled, unable to inherit the title, and the Suo family permanently loses its noble title and the Tian Shui City territory?

Once the territory and title are lost, the terrifying situation that Soning Bing will face is all too clear.

This cannot happen; we must have the college revoke the order.

Lanling took a deep breath and said, "Sister, in this situation, we can only fight to the death and then live. We must have President Jianyong revoke the order."

Soning Bing said, "What do you have in mind?"

Lanling said, "Didn't Solon have an affair with President Jianyong's daughter-in-law? I will go to see her as Solon and ask for her help. As the president's daughter-in-law, she might be able to get the president to revoke the order."

Upon hearing this, Soning Bing and Ye Jingyu were stunned.

Is this a death wish?

The two were caught in the act and managed to suppress the scandal, avoiding each other. Now, he actually wants to go see that woman again? President Jianyong would probably tear Lanling apart and feed him to the griffins.

"Are you going to see Solon's former mistress, Mentor Nia?" Ye Jingyu said. "After being caught in the act, Mentor Nia and Solon were supposed to never see each other again. Solon barely escaped with his life. Now, you are Solon, and you want to reignite the affair? This is a death wish!"

Lanling said, "That's why I said we must fight to the death and then live. This is the only way."

Ye Jingyu and Soning Bing fell silent, unsure of what to do or choose.

Lanling said, "I am the only man in the family, and this is decided. Is the female mentor still in the college?"

Ye Jingyu shook his head and said, "No, after being caught in the act, she and Solon were transferred from the Royal City College to Lingfeng County in the Northern Province."

Lingfeng County in the Northern Province is 1,200 miles from the Royal City of Zidu.

Soning Bing suddenly said, "Why didn't I know about these things?"

Ye Jingyu said, "Miss, you have too many worries. Some of the troubles that Young Master Solon caused, we handled privately, and some we did not let you know."

Soning Bing glared at Ye Jingyu fiercely but was at a loss. Moreover, she was so beautiful and gentle that even when she glared, it had no intimidating effect; it only made her seem more gentle and lovely.

Lanling said, "Let's go home immediately. I will carefully imitate Solon's every move and thoroughly understand Nia. Tomorrow morning, I will go to Lingfeng County in the Northern Province to find her."

Lanling's words were decisive. She was originally an imposter, a puppet. But his self-willed and proactive decision-making gave Soning Bing a sense of security.

Since Duke Solon fell ill, Soning Bing had been in charge of the Suo family, and she had been extremely worried, desperately hoping to find a shoulder to lean on. Now, that shoulder seemed to have appeared, though it was still very young.

"Alright, sister will follow your lead. Everything is up to you," Soning Bing said. "Tomorrow, let Ye Jingyu take you to find Mentor Nia."
