Chapter 1708: Chapter 1727: Princess Investigates the Records

“All the archives of new students who entered the academy in the last five months? That’s a lot!” Yusuf Zuck glanced at the Princess. What was this girl up to? Was she going to investigate him too?

“Didn’t you understand what I said?” The Princess raised her eyebrows.

“Alright, I’ll go get them!” Yusuf Zuck turned and left.

After Yusuf Zuck left, Sir Gould frowned and said, “Do you think he would hide in the Yin Yang Academy?”

The Princess sat down, took a sip of the tea Yusuf Zuck had just brewed, and shook her head, “I just want to have a look.”

“What did Jake King say when he came back to see you?” Sir Gould asked again.

The Princess took a deep breath and said, “He didn’t say anything, just had me play a song, then turned and left. However, before leaving, I asked him for the Faith Divine Stone!”

“What do you need that for?” Sir Gould asked in surprise.

“Nothing in particular, just want to study it, and later Jake King sent me a booklet on how to use the Faith Divine Stone!”

“And when you came out, he didn’t care?”

“No, even the attendants in the palace didn’t follow me.”

“That’s strange.” Sir Gould said oddly, “This time when Jake King returned, he seemed even stranger, he didn’t like to speak even when seeing me!”

“I heard Maximo Meskill was dispatched to the army by him, and all major military posts were rotated. Some of Maximo Meskill’s people were moved to insignificant positions. Is Maximo Meskill out of favor?” The Princess asked strangely.

“Maximo Meskill was indeed reprimanded by Jake King, so Jake King has been acting weird. He wasn’t like this before. I heard that during his years abroad, he got very close to a sorceress consort, and after returning to the palace, he gave the biggest Green Water Palace to her, and he spends every night at Green Water Palace, never visited Maximo Meskill’s secret palace once.”

“Forget it, let’s not talk about him.” The Princess shook her head, “Who can understand Jake King’s thoughts?”

“So, what do you plan to do here?” Sir Gould asked again.

“Just like you, don’t forget your daughter is also a tutor at the academy.” The Princess smiled.

“That’s good too, staying away from troubles and cultivating here is not bad!”

“Yes, I want some peace.” The Princess deeply remembered what Yusuf Zuck said before they parted, asking her to quiet down and change her way of living!

So when Sir Gould was about to come to Yin Yang Academy, she also immediately decided to follow, staying away from troubles, dynasty, thinking of nothing, just quietly reading and teaching here.

…

Meanwhile, Yusuf Zuck returned to the General Affairs Department and conveyed the Princess’s request to Superintendent Shaun!

Superintendent Shaun didn’t procrastinate at all and immediately instructed Yusuf Zuck to send all the archives to the Princess.

Yusuf Zuck was someone from the General Affairs Department, and in recent times, he had been helping to organize archives and records, even revising and perfecting his own file numerous times.

The archives from the past five months totaled over two thousand files, including those admitted through special quotas, formal admissions, and internal nominations.

Previously in Yang Ming City, the Ruiz brothers claimed there were three hundred internally nominated slots, but in fact, those three hundred were just the number for public student recruitment; the slots for common people!

Whereas non-common folks, such as nobles and wealthy families, had sent over a thousand people to Yin Yang Academy!

Every noble had many slots, sending their talented subordinates, children, or relatives into the academy; this group was the true internal recruits, who could directly enter. Essentially, Yin Yang Academy was a Royal Clan’s academy.

Yusuf Zuck carried the two thousand archives back to Gould’s Residence and handed them to the Princess.

However, Yusuf Zuck didn’t say much to the Princess and went back to the gatehouse to sleep after delivering the archives.

Before dawn the next day, he got up early, took his tools, and went to clean the yard!

What surprised him was that Sir Gould had risen even earlier and was in the yard practicing some kind of informal fist punching.

He didn’t know what martial art it was, seemingly without force or form, just random punching for health.

Seeing Yusuf Zuck come out with his tools, Sir Gould nodded at him with a smile.

After paying his respects, Yusuf Zuck began cleaning while frequently glancing at the Princess’s room, as the light in that room had been on all night.

Soon, the little servant also got up, then went to carry firewood and boil water. After washing his face, Sir Gould even went into the kitchen himself to start cooking!

Yusuf Zuck was stunned, realizing that Sir Gould cooked his own meals instead of living a life waiting for clothes and meals to be served on demand.

After the meal was prepared, Yusuf Zuck had tidied up the yard and was about to head to the cafeteria for breakfast, as he couldn’t eat the meals Sir Gould made. After all, he was the noble!

However, just as he was about to leave, Sir Gould happily said, “Lin Hu, don’t leave, come, come, eat together, eat together!”

“I dare not, I dare not, I’ll just eat at the cafeteria!” Yusuf Zuck waved his hands repeatedly.

“There are matters to discuss with you, join us for a meal!” Sir Gould continued to urge.

Upon hearing there were things, Yusuf Zuck couldn’t leave and could only sit at the small table in the yard.

At this moment, the Princess also walked out with a natural look, glanced at Yusuf Zuck, then picked up her meal and started eating.

Four people sat around a small table, eating tribute rice and two small dishes, nothing exotic, just a simple home-cooked meal.

“Later, I will go to lecture the beginner group; you should go and arrange it in advance; try to have a large lecture hall, preferably one where students of class thirty-three can all attend!”

“Yes.” Yusuf Zuck replied while eating.

“Then get some ordinary rice and vegetables and put them in the kitchen, and add more firewood too!”

“Yes.” Yusuf Zuck continued to respond.

“You don’t need to follow me usually, but when I’m lecturing, you can come and listen. When I’m writing in the study room, you can also come to grind ink for me!”

“Yes.” Yusuf Zuck continued to confirm.

This guy was eating heartily at this moment, without being polite, having already eaten several bowls, without lifting his head or opening his eyes!

“Mm, that’s all, I’m done eating, you guys take your time!” Sir Gould said and stood up; Yusuf Zuck followed suit but still had half a bowl left!

“Continue, I don’t have that many rules, having rules is actually unpleasant!”

“Yes!” Yusuf Zuck responded and sat back down to continue eating!

By this time, the little servant had finished eating too and followed Sir Gould outside for a walk, leaving only the Princess and Yusuf Zuck at the table!

“You’re called Lin Hu Chong, you also entered within these five months?” The Princess suddenly asked.

“Yes!” Yusuf Zuck replied.

“What’s your father’s name? Why isn’t it recorded in the archive? And your grandfather’s origin?”

“I’m an orphan, as noted in the archive, adopted by an old hunter who passed away.” Yusuf Zuck quickly answered.

“Oh, continue eating!” The Princess didn’t ask further, took a few more bites, then left.

After finishing his meal, Yusuf Zuck also left, without cleaning up the dishes, since Sir Gould said it wasn’t needed of him, so why try to curry favor? Besides, he had to arrange Sir Gould’s lecture, no time to wash dishes.

After Yusuf Zuck left, the Princess returned to her room. After a night of sorting, she had gone through the more than two thousand archives twice, the first time picking out sixty-two people, and the second time filtering out twenty-two more, leaving forty archives she was still puzzled by. At the top of these forty archives was surprisingly the name Lin Hu Chong!
