As the annual selection conference raged on, a name spread throughout the Imperial Academy and even the entire Imperial City.
After many years, the Dean of the Imperial Academy, Mu Kongfu, had surprisingly taken another adopted daughter.
Her name was Niu Kexin!
Who was Mu Kongfu?
The venerable Emperor's Tutor of three generations. Even the current ruler, His Holiness Li Shimu, had to greet him respectfully and address him as Teacher.
In terms of both power and status, he was among the absolute top echelons of the Mountain and Sea Empire.
To be taken as Mu Kongfu's adopted daughter, setting all else aside, simply in terms of seniority, Niu Kexin was now on the same generational level as Li Shimu. She could be considered his junior sister.
The junior sister of His Holiness, the current emperor. Who would dare disrespect her? Who would dare not show her deference?
