The two children looked at each other affectionately for a long time.
From then on, whenever the two met, they would always look at each other for several times.
She felt that the Third Prince must like her as well.
But who knew what would happen? When she was ten years old, an imperial decree came down and she was betrothed to the prince who was over eighty years old.
Moreover, that prince also had a princess who died.
There are different accounts of how the former Crown Princess died.
Some people say that the former Crown Princess was killed by the Crown Prince's other women.
Some people say that she was killed by the prince himself.
Some people also said that she was caught in bed with her husband and was sentenced to death by the prince.
Anyway, the death of the Crown Princess is a mystery, and only the Crown Prince himself knows the truth.
The royal family announced that the Crown Princess had suddenly contracted a serious illness.
But few people believe this information.
The prince’s reputation is not good among the people, but the current emperor likes this son and no one can shake his position.
In Zi Meng's eyes, such a prince is like a scourge.
What makes people feel most unbalanced is that the third prince is actually engaged to the most unbearable Fatty.
The Third Prince is obviously the man she likes, how can he become her brother-in-law
This tragic news came like a bolt from the blue, and it almost made her faint from the pain.
However, just when she was about to go crazy with despair, the third prince appeared in front of her like a god. The two of them didn't say anything, but hugged each other as if they had telepathic connection.
From then on, the two would always find opportunities to meet each other and established a relationship.
The third prince comforted her and said that even if she married the prince, he would still protect her for the rest of her life.
Even if he married Pang Ya, he would not even look at her. After marrying her, he would lock up Pang Ya to prevent her from going out and embarrassing herself.
He would not take concubines or concubines, he only loved her.
The two children comforted each other, confided their sorrows to each other, and even swore to each other that they would never leave each other until the end of time.
But how long has it been now
The third prince has changed, and he seems to have fallen in love with Fatty.
It seems like he really wants to marry Pang Ya now.
Now, Pang Ya has become a beauty who is as beautiful as himself, and she also has superb alchemy skills. The most painful thing is that Pang Ya is now a legitimate daughter.
It seems that Pang Ya has surpassed her in all aspects.
Thinking of this made Zi Meng almost go crazy, with the flames of jealousy burning in her heart.
I wish Pang Ya would disappear from this world.
Bai Chen could imagine Zi Meng's jealousy and hostility, and he was on guard against her and even monitoring her.
But I didn't spend any energy to target it because now is not the time.
As for surveillance, of course it was left to Huahua's radar. It spent 10,000 experience points, so it had to do something.
In terms of cultivation, Bai Chen has advanced a major step and successfully entered the initial stage of spiritual cultivation, which is on par with Zi Meng.
In the early stage, it is very fast to advance to a higher level, but it will become slower and slower in the later stage. There is no doubt about it.
Therefore, Bai Chen did not have the confidence that he could reach the peak of holiness in his lifetime.
How confident can I be that I can accomplish something that ten predecessors have failed to accomplish
Don't be impetuous, go with the flow, and use plenty of time to do things that you find meaningful. This is the life plan that Bai Chen set for himself after much thought.
To solve the problem of mediocre life span, it is not just talk, but action.
In the past six months, Bai Chen has been studying and practicing intensively.
And countless kinds of herbs are analyzed and compared.
See if we can find a herb that can help ordinary people resist the erosion of their vital energy.
If you can't find it among the existing medicinal materials, you can only wait until your cultivation level is improved and then enter the Warcraft Forest to look for it.
Bai Chen is so busy every day that he has seldom left Dan Shen Academy in the past six months. Of course, he has no time to care about the jealousy of some people.
But there are many people out there who are thinking about her.
Yu was concerned about her and her health, and told her to balance work and rest. She also wrote her letters about what happened in the Zi family or the entire capital.
Old Man Zi, Zi Meng, and the Third Prince were all thinking about her.
Old Man Zi soon found out that Bai Chen had refined a top-grade elixir.
He wanted to talk to Bai Chen again, but Bai Chen refused to talk to him on the grounds that he was too busy with his studies at the academy.
Bai Chen had no plans to meet him before graduation.
Shenyu Academy is a very sacred place. Even if Zi Yunqi is the head of a first-rate family, he has no right to enter the academy to arrest people.
You can only go to the college's reception room to ask for permission from the school leaders before you can see anyone.
Since Bai Chen became famous again, Old Man Zi came to the college to look for her twice, but Bai Chen refused to see him on the grounds that she was too busy with her studies.
Old Man Zi was so angry about this that he wanted to arrest Bai Chen and lock her up and not send her to school anymore.
But the college rejected it sternly.
It is not easy for an academy to train a pharmacist who can refine top-grade elixirs!
How could he be allowed to take his outstanding students away
Even if he is the student's father, he does not have this right.
Excellent alchemists are already protected by national laws, and the father’s rights are not that great.
In other words, Old Man Zi has no way to deal with Pang Ya, also known as Bai Chen.
Of course, Bai Chen also learned about the laws of Tianming Kingdom.
If one wants to break free from Old Man Zi's control and prevent him from stopping one's progress, refining top-grade elixirs is only the first step.
Why does this world attach so much importance to alchemists? It is because for cultivators to advance, especially high-level cultivators, the assistance of elixirs is indispensable.
Of course, this does not apply to the geniuses among geniuses.
Moreover, there are two beast tides every year, causing large numbers of casualties and requiring countless amounts of elixirs.
If a country lacks alchemists, it will definitely affect the national strength of the entire country.
But not everyone can be an alchemist. One must learn the art of controlling fire, and also remember the shapes and properties of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of herbs, as well as the proportions and refining methods of tens of thousands of elixirs.
And you also need to have the perseverance and determination to calm down and make the elixir.
The entire Shenyu Academy has only trained about fifty students in several years. It is conceivable how great the shortage of talents in this area is.
Bai Chen certainly had this consideration when he chose to learn this skill.
If she wants to escape the control of the Zi family and the fate of marrying the third prince in the future, it is not enough to just improve her cultivation, she must also become the most outstanding talent that even the emperor would be impressed by.
Since I have already obtained the spiritual wealth of Sister Dan Wang, the most direct thing to do is, of course, start from this aspect.
As for Zi Meng's concern, needless to say, it was all caused by jealousy.
Over the past six months, she, who had always practiced without any bottlenecks, could not concentrate on her practice at all, as if her cultivation progress had come to a halt.
What cultivators fear most is a pause in their cultivation, especially in their teens, when this is the time to lay the foundation, so they cannot afford to slack off.
Zi Meng worries about her love with the third prince every day, is jealous of Pang Ya's rise, is afraid of marrying a beast-like prince, and also has to worry about the stagnation of her own cultivation.
The numerous problems added together made him even more confused and soon became haggard.
