Adult Tang Dynasty: I, the Scoundrel, Fully Support the Empress - Chapter 14

Chapter 14: The Elite’s Wails—The Ultimate Playboy’s Coming!

Whenever her illness flared up, imperial doctors would treat her with acupuncture, but the pain was always unbearable.

But this time…

Su Yang’s therapy completely changed the game for Guan Yinbi. She felt a wave of relief wash over her, making her both surprised and delighted.

“I knew it! He’s exactly the kind of wise and capable man our empire needs.”

“My dream about him wasn’t just some illusion—it was real.”

The more she looked at Su Yang, the more she liked him. A rare, radiant smile lit up her face.

“If it’s working for you, then I can come by regularly to take care of you.”

Seeing her reaction, Su Yang seized the opportunity and offered with a polite smile.

To him, this therapy wasn’t just about easing her pain—it was a perfect way to get closer to her. And, well… let’s just say the hands-on approach had its perks.

Just thinking about Guan Yinbi’s soft, curvaceous figure made Su Yang eager for more.

He calculated in his mind: If he kept this up, it wouldn’t be long before he completely won her over.

“That’s very thoughtful of you,” she said warmly, nodding without hesitation.

She had noticed some questionable movements from him during the massage, but she never doubted his intentions. As far as she was concerned, her dear sworn brother wouldn’t have any improper thoughts about her.

And besides, the treatment worked wonders—she simply couldn’t say no.

“Then please rest well, my sister.”

“I’ll take my leave for now.”

Su Yang knew better than to rush things. No need to push his luck. With a respectful nod, he stepped out of the hall and headed back to his residence.

…

Meanwhile, in Chang’an, Eastern City…

Inside a lavish estate, Su Yang sat in silence after returning home, forcing himself to suppress the desire burning inside him.

As much as he craved his beautiful sworn sister, he knew now wasn’t the time for distractions.

His top priority was to rack up more points.

After all, now that he had built a reputation as the most feared and reckless playboy in town, enemies were bound to pile up. First on that list? Zhangsun Chong.

If he didn’t start getting stronger soon, there was a real chance he’d get taken down when he least expected it. He couldn’t rely on Guan Yinbi to save him every time.

Luckily, today’s visit to the palace had given him a golden opportunity.

He was going to the Imperial Academy.

Back in the Tang Dynasty, institutions like Lijing Academy and Jixian Hall mainly focused on preserving and editing royal manuscripts. The true hub of elite education was the Imperial Academy, where only royals and the children of high-ranking officials could enroll.

For example, the sons of those legendary statesmen in the Lingyan Pavilion? Yeah, they studied there.

“Finally! This is my chance to rack up a ton of points.”

Su Yang’s excitement grew. The academy was full of spoiled rich kids—walking treasure troves of points just waiting to be harvested. A few days of putting arrogant brats in their place, and he’d be rolling in rewards.

A few days later, his maid, Qingyi, came to inform him that Guan Yinbi had made all the necessary arrangements. He could report to the academy whenever he was ready.

Without wasting a second, Su Yang gave a nod, got in his carriage, and set off the same day.

…

Inside The Imperial Academy

At that moment, the academy was buzzing with whispers. From the royal heirs to the privileged sons of noble families, everyone was stunned by the news.

Su Yang was coming.

Reactions varied—some exchanged nervous glances, others looked downright uneasy.

His reputation preceded him. Everyone in Chang’an had heard of him.

He wasn’t just a rich kid—he was the Empress’s sworn brother. The kind of guy who could beat Zhangsun Chong to a pulp in broad daylight without batting an eye.

A lot of students were secretly panicking. Some had even lodged formal complaints, desperately trying to prevent Su Yang from enrolling. None of them wanted to be his next victim.

Sure, they were all from powerful backgrounds, but so what? Su Yang had the biggest trump card of all—he had the Empress herself backing him.

Unfortunately for them, their objections fell on deaf ears.

Even the senior scholars at the academy were feeling the pressure. Many of them dreaded Su Yang’s arrival, wanting nothing more than to avoid him altogether.
