Chapter 676: A Situation to be Remembered

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

Wang Zheng was able to recognize a few people present, like Ling Luoyu, and the person beside him should be Redington. Redington had also slaughtered his way to the main competition. There was also another person present that Wang Zheng faintly recalled. He was Ma Guangyuan, who he had met at Ling Luoyu’s birthday party, and it seemed that he had entered the Milky Way Military Academy.

At this juncture, he was feeling rather awkward. Luckily, there was someone else he was familiar with, Achilles.

“Wang Zheng.” Achilles walked over with a wine glass. The ‘Sun God’ was used to such gatherings, as no matter the place, they were all the same.

“Achilles, long time no see.”

“Yeah. If we didn’t get out of the Solar system, we would not have known that the world outside was so wonderful.” Achilles faintly smiled, his face a picture of calm. His mental strength was extremely high, and could be considered to be the top within the Solar system. If one did not have a strong mindset when mingling with others from the Elite Academy, they might actual sink into depression.

Olivios had also appeared. He had arrived slightly later than Wang Zheng, but he had ignored the rest of the party, instead finding a quiet corner and shut his eyes without a care in the world.

Amongst those present, the most eye-catching was definitely the four masters of the Expert stage. The students in their respective academies all treated them as the center. White Tiger’s Hydra, Azure Dragon’s Pampas, Vermillion Birds’s Hocatolin, and Black Tortoise’s Hu Kan. However, Lear and Luo Fei were both standing beside Hu Kan, and Hu Kan had even begun introducing Lear to the surrounding people, heaping praise onto him.

Wang Zheng and Achilles looked at each other and smiled. They had to agree, Lear’s ability to adapt was much stronger than the two of them. The other planets were still stubbornly looking down on the Solar system, totally ignoring them, but this Lear was still able to make others look up to him. That was truly a skill.

Redington and Ma Guangyuan were discussing something, causing Ling Luoyu to frown. However, she had still walked over with them in the end.

Ma Guangyuan’s face had a big smile on it. “Junior Wang Zheng, we meet again.”

‘Junior’… This kid really knew how to greet someone. Wang Zheng felt that after arriving, all of Lear’s mockery had been transferred to him, and he couldn’t even catch a break.

“You are?” Wang Zheng intentionally acted confused, and Ma Guangyuan’s face instantly turned a shade darker.

Achilles was laughing in his heart. Trying to play such tricks, Earthlings were also an expert at this.

Redington, who was standing by the side, coughed slightly, “Guangyuan, it seems that our Junior Wang Zheng has become even more forgetful. Being able to enter the main competition this time as a Huang Grade, he seemed to believe that everyone is beneath him.”

Ling Luoyu was actually a little uncomfortable, and was not aware why these two were targeting Wang Zheng. This was just pointless, as they weren’t even acquaintances with him.

Wang Zheng simply smiled and exclaimed, “Of course not, aren’t you two right beside me?”

Achilles could not help but smile, “Is there anything we can help you with? We don’t seem to be that familiar.”

“Who are you again?” Redington’s eyebrows twitched.

“Achilles, from the Moon.” Achilles was still smiling, and humbly said.

Redington just coldly snorted. At this time, the venue started to stir, the main event was starting.

Under the accompaniment of instructor Jiang Feng, Aina appeared. Although she was only a student, but she was still the princess of Aslan. Although Arbiter’s military might was strong, they were still not accepted by many other countries. However, Aslan, was different, as their culture was regarded by others as something they should emulated. In diplomacy, Aslan was doing much better than Arbiter.

When Aina appeared, she was immediately surrounded by the crowd. Oz and Aurora coolly separated the crowd, keeping a safe distance between them. Fortunately, the people here were quite rational.

In fact, at the moment when Aina appeared, Wang Zheng had felt it. Looking at her from afar, it had almost been a year. Although Aina did not seem to have changed much, but it still felt different. Her smile was still just as beautiful, just that there was an added air of nobility now.

Perhaps he had been starting for too long. In the eyes of the outsiders, Wang Zheng seemed to be star struck.

“Cough, Wang Zheng, you are a member of Elite Academy. Pay attention to your image.” Ling Luoyu couldn’t help but remind him.

Although there were others that had a stunned expression, but there were even more who were enjoying the sight, and were maintaining their courtesy and restraint. But this guy was instead staring like an idiot, and was simply causing the academy to lose face.

Being a girl too, Ling Luoyu was confident in herself, but she did not dare to compare herself with the Aslan princess. Such a comparison was indeed uncomfortable.

The nobleness and elegance of His Royal Highness Princess had penetrated into the minds of the crowd. This was something that could only be cultivated after generations of royalty. Just by standing there, she was like the brightest star in the Milky Way, and that unique sight was simply unforgettable.

Wang Zheng did not hear Ling Luoyu at all, and was lost in his own thoughts, back to the first time he saw Aina, that cute and beautiful girl. All along, Wang Zheng wished that Aina was in fact not the Aslan princess, but only a normal girl, would they be happier if that was the case?

However, there were no ifs in life.

Redington and Ma Guangyuan had too noticed this. Looking at Wang Zheng’s blank expression, they couldn’t help but laugh.

“Luoyu, don’t bother with him. It is a blessing for him to have a chance to see the princess, and will be able to brag for a lifetime when he returns.” Ma Guangyuan laughed.

“I do hope he won’t spin a story.” Redington added even more salt, and suddenly found that the two men were speaking the same tongue.

Achilles was calm, and did not say anything, while Wang Zheng was also woken up by them, with a hint of bitter smile on his face. However, it was not due to them, but Ling Luoyu and the rest had thought that he had realized his own faults.

Aina naturally also saw Wang Zheng. It was impossible for her not to spot him, but she still had to greet everyone else and maintain her courtesy.

Achilles shook his head slightly. As a spectator, he was clear on the situation. Aina was still the princess of Aslan, and was no longer the Aina of the past. The previous her would not be concerned with such things, else she would not have done such crazy stunts during the IG competition. However, Achilles admired the current Aina even more, as her courage was truly worthy of admiration.

It was just that this was probably the true Aina. Achilles, who was also born in a historic family, knew this very well. This was something normal, and was not something that one could rebel against. Although romance was a good thing, but it was not a realistic option. He only hoped that Wang Zheng would not be influenced.

After over ten minutes, Aina only then started to move, and it seemed like she was intentionally walking over.

Ling Luoyu’s group hurriedly straightened themselves out, their faces revealing a ‘bright’ and hypocritical smile. Just as they had said it themselves, they would be able to brag about this for a lifetime.

Aina nodded in acknowledgement, signifying that the session had ended. Although Wang Zheng and Aina were only centimeters from each other, but they felt that they were worlds apart.

Just a distance of a single step, but it was something impossible for both of them. Oz and Aurora took two steps back. They were also aware of the situation, but they were also clear on why the princess was doing this.

There were some things that had to be settled by the parties alone.

“Classmate Wang Zheng, I heard that you had advanced into the main competition. Congratulations, I hope that you can achieve great results.” Aina said warmly, but her eyes were firm.

Wang Zheng also showed a smile on his face. When Aina started speaking, the situation had already been decided. Wang Zheng was clear, as once he personally heard Aina say that… he could… rest easy.

“Her Royal Highness, you are too courteous. It was only due to luck.” Wang Zheng said.

Aina smiled, and everyone who saw it was dazzled. Redington and the rest beside him were almost driven to madness. To them, the princess had not even batted an eyelid, yet she spoke that much to Wang Zheng!

Why, why!

They had though it would be the end, but the princess had still not finished her conversation.

“I have a friend called Xiao Shi. She said, she had never regretted meeting you, and that was a wonderful memory that she will cherish forever.” Aina’s voice was soft, but her gaze still remained firm.

Wang Zheng smiled, and nodded his head, while the princess also nodded and left.

This situation was something to be remembered.

Everything that happened before was just a memory for Aina. In fact, for Wang Zheng, it was also something to be relived about.

Achilles patted Wang Zheng’s shoulder gently. To be honest, he thought that this would be better for him. Men should have their own goals and ideals, and not lose their way due to a woman.

Perhaps the crowd was still jealous that Wang Zheng was able to exchange that many words with the princess, but Wang Zheng’s emotions finally calmed down as the distance between them grew larger.

Wang Zheng knew that this was a choice made with the two of them, and everyone else in mind. He had thought that he could ignore everything if he was with Aina, but he still cared about Yan Xiaosu, Ye Zisu and the others. If he was selfish to that extent, he would eventually regret it.

He could not do it, and Aina also could not do it. Now, this was also a type of release.

Wang Zheng finally returned to normal. Just like Aina did, he should face the future. He had many things to do, and also had his own goals.

As for what happened in the past, he had not regretted. This, was his first love, even if there were not any results.

Amongst the crowd, Lear’s face always had a modest smile. Only when looking at Wang Zheng, his gaze would sharpen for a moment. When he first watched the scene during IG, he had known about Wang Zheng’s biggest flaw. No matter if Wang Zheng was satisfied with the result, or how it turned out, the greatest challenge in his life had begun.

Unfortunately, Aina was not willful enough. The method that the princess chose was probably the best way to solve the issue. In this way, such a public statement meant telling the Aslan royal family that everything was over. That was indeed a smart move.

The sound of chewing reached his ears. Lear turned around, and that d*mned fatty was holding food in both hands, his mouth already fully stuffed.

Being glared at by Lear, Fatty suddenly froze, and hurriedly gulped down a glass of wine. “Cough. Boss, your image, lecture me when we get back…”

Lear’s face was as bright as spring, but Fatty’s expression was stormy and dark. He really didn’t want to lose weight…
