Venerable Demon King & The Doting Immortal (QT) novel Chapter 311

Chapter 311: A waste of resources

Xiang Yu had never been this furious with Han Xin ever since he realized his feelings. In the second world, Han Xin never deliberately did anything to anger him. But in the third world, he was like a naughty child, doing exactly what he was told not to do. Xiang Yu laughed angrily, watching Han Xin walk away with Peng Xiu.

Lian and Mei glanced in that direction. Lian said, "Master, don’t be angry. This is only the beginning, and you two haven’t developed feelings yet."

Mei chimed in, "Yes, Brother Xin is just blind to his feelings. He will make up for it soon."

Xiang Yu was so angry that he snapped, "Are you two defending him?"

The twins looked like children coaxing their mother not to be so mad at their father anymore. They simultaneously said, "No, no, we are not."

Xiang Yu turned to leave, and the twins followed after him. The academy was full of activity, with students rushing with purpose while others hung around without a care in the world. It was divided into nine faculties: Mech Division, Mech Design and Engineering Division, Cyber Warfare Division, Aerospace Operations Division, Intelligence and Reconnaissance Division, Special Forces Training Division, Logistics and Supply Chain Division, Medical and Field Surgery Division, and Psychological Operations Division.

Xiang Yu, together with the twins and Han Xin, were all in the Mech Division, while Peng Xiu was in the Logistics and Supply Chain Division. They were in different faculties, but their worlds would intersect due to certain core courses.

The hallway of the Military Academy buzzed with the early morning energy of cadets hurrying to their classes before assembly. Conversations hummed through the air, punctuated by the clatter of boots on polished floors. It was the usual scene of chaotic excitement until a palpable shift occurred, drawing everyone’s attention.

As the siren for the assembly rang out, the students began to rush towards the main hall, the murmurs of astonishment fading as they hurried to find their places. Xiang Yu, because of his royal status, was ushered to the front of the assembly hall and did not need to join his faculty. As he moved past the rows of cadets, he nodded respectfully to the lecturers seated at the front. They, too, were taken aback. Since when had the crown prince shown such respect? _{freёwebnoѵel.com}

Xiang Yu glanced back at Mei standing behind him. Mei leaned down, and Xiang Yu asked, "Is this the last one?" Mei nodded her head, and one of the professors with a long white beard coughed, signalling them to be silent.

Xiang Yu knew that most of the professors didn’t like him because he never trained seriously and used his status as the crown prince to avoid discipline. When they tried to educate him and be a little tougher with him, he would pull out the "I am the crown prince and you are all my subordinates" card. Sometimes they thought he was just here for show and to waste important resources that could have been given to other students who truly wanted to be here.

Xiang Yu apologised to the old professor. The old professor didn’t expect him to apologize. Xiang Yu had never been to school and never had to sit still this long, but Lian and Mei had already gone through it in the past world, so they handled it better than Xiang Yu. The old professor humphed, and Xiang Yu looked back at the podium and found that it was Han Xin giving a speech.

Han Xin was the student president, and it made sense why. He was extremely intelligent and the top scorer in their faculty. He was also popular, with a handsome appearance and the status of the school heartthrob. Xiang Yu, who had been sitting lazily, suddenly sat up straight and was now paying attention. The professors and chancellor didn’t miss His Highness’ little actions. The person who had been so bored that he seemed ready to doze off at any minute was now sitting there, paying attention.

Han Xin noticed Xiang Yu sitting in the front but ignored him. Throughout the entire speech, he didn’t look at him at all. Xiang Yu didn’t mind being ignored. He was just admiring his man’s handsome appearance, though his expression remained expressionless.
