"One would not have trust if one does not follow what was established. These rules were set by Cai Lin and for you to now object, does it mean that Cai Daren is also like this in the official circles? Once the situation looks wrong, you will immediately change the rules?"

Previously Cai Lin said, "Oak Wood Academy does not prioritize specifically for anyone. It is the case for previous regulations for the challenger to define the rules. Why? A dignified Grand General's daughter is such a timid younger generation?"

His words were as if it was at one's ears and now Jennie gave them back how they were originally said, slapping Cai Daren's face directly and made Cai Lin speechless.

"Rules were set by you and now it is you who wants to quit. It all came right from one's mouth, how could it be set as such? Are Ming Qi's Darens all like so?" Her words were incisive and merciless as she spoke about the bigger picture of things, making Cai Daren break into a cold sweat.

There were so many colleagues of the official circles in today's event, his fellow allies and rivals were also present. When Jennie's words falls into one who has the intention, who knows what kind of article would be written and not to mention that the Imperial family members were also present. If it had attracted the Imperial family's suspicion, let alone Cai Lin, even the entire Cai family would have to suffer along.

"Young Lady Shen's words are not wrong." But the one speaking was Prince Yu. He smiled eccentrically at Jennie and said, "Cai Daren, Gentleman Cai has set the rules himself and naturally have to see them to the end."

Since when would Prince Yu helped to rescue anyone from difficulty? Once the words were said, suddenly everyone's gaze was cast on Jennie, filled with various kinds of looks, some understood clearly, some were filled with scorn.

Prince Zhou and Prince Jing looked at one another. Prince Jing sighed, "Even Royal Uncle has spoken."

"Perhaps we would have another young Royal Sao?" Prince Zhou finished speaking and he himself found it ridiculous, so he shook his head and did not speak.

Since Prince Yu had spoken, even if Cai Daren had some dissatisfactions, he dared not refute. Even though he was frightened in his mind, he could only thicken his skin, "It is... It is this official that did not consider everything." He glared angrily at Cai Lin before turning around to walk away.

Cai Lin watched as his father left and he felt an urgency. He originally felt that Jennie most likely was only good at talking but when he meet Jennie's clear eyes, his heart could not help but felt cold. She was like a beast that does not make any sound. She obviously looks like a little young lady but how could that feeling be so scary?

He suppressed his voice and said, "If you injure me, the Cai family will definitely not spare you." This was considered threatening. Cai Lin was riding a tiger and it was hard to get off, with Jennie's archery skills, if she were to shot off a little, his little life would be hard to protect. When he went with his friends during hunting, he had seen times when the arrows were shot slightly off and pierce into the prey's eyes or ass. Even though it was not a shot that killed, the scene of a prey struggling was really tragic. Could it be that he would be that slaughtered lamb?

He threatened like that to only hope that Jennie would behave appropriately a little, pull the bow gently and just put on a show of doing it but not actually doing it. He whispered again, "If you are sensitive this time, in the future... In the future, I would not find trouble with you in Oak Wood Academy.

Jennie gently raised her eyebrows and looked at him.

Cai Lin was anxious, fearing that she would not agree to it. Unfortunately for him, she had met too much of such people in her past life. They were bullying the weak and fearing the strong. If one were to let it go today, once the matter has passed, Cai Lin would definitely be like he was in the past and would even find an opportunity to take revenge for losing face today.
