Chapter 91

—He Yunxiao regretted it a little.
When he left Fan’s house yesterday, he had forgotten to ask Fan Ziruo which class he was taking tomorrow.
Later, when he was eating Yangchun noodles with Li Jin, he forgot to ask Li Jin which class Fan Zirou was having tomorrow because he was too fired up.
Now he regrets it, very much so.
If I had asked him earlier, I wouldn’t have had to get up so early and I could have at least slept in.
Last night, He Yunxiao had been reading martial arts s very hard!
It wasn’t what he wanted to read. It was all about strategy! It was all for the greater good! It was all about saving Fan Ziruo from Chu Xiaoxiao’s clutches!
Even though due to the times, the formula of Qi martial arts s was very naive. Basically, He Yunxiao could see the beginning and think of the end.
But since there was really no entertainment and only martial arts s to read, He Yunxiao had no choice but to read the s with a tough mind.
Later, he found it quite interesting to see how authors wrote their poisonous points.
As long as I’m flexible enough, I can enjoy all the poisonous points!
After staying up late and waking up early, it was inevitable that he was a bit tired.
It was only when He Yunxiao felt that he was almost late that he hurriedly got up, washed up a few time, and ran to the carriage.
Halfway to the carriage, He Yunxiao suddenly remembered that he hadn’t picked up the martial arts s he had read last night and was going to bring to Fan Ziruo.
Luckily, the coachman’s driving skills were good enough, and he drove all the way to the academy in time for class to start.
When He Yunxiao entered the classroom, he suddenly realized that the first class was not Fan Ziruo’s class.
Cao, what a miscalculation.
Had I known, I would have slept a little longer.
Taking advantage of the fact that there were not many people paying attention to him in the classroom, He Yunxiao decided to sneak away.
Li Jin, who had sat down early and was ready to study, spotted the late He Yunxiao in time and waved at him.
“This way, Brother He, there’s a seat reserved for you.”
The scene was momentarily awkward.
Everyone looked towards He Yunxiao.
With eyes on him, He Yunxiao was in a dilemma.
Li Jin, why don’t you just shut up?
Even if he scolded Li Jin, He Yunxiao could not really get angry with him.
After all, who could blame a fool?
He Yunxiao suddenly asked, “Brother Li, have you eaten this morning?”
Li Jin was a little puzzled by this question, “Yes, I ate.”
“What did you eat?”
“Congee.”
“Did you have buns with it?”
“No.”
He Yunxiao said angrily, “How can you eat congee without a bun!”
Li Jin was stunned by the question, but when he thought about it, it was also true, how could one eat congee without a bun?
He Yunxiao said sternly, “Brother Li, wait, let me go and buy you some buns.”
When Li Jin heard that he had buns to eat, he said happily, “Brother He is kind!”
He Yunxiao said, “It’s nothing.”
Then he turned his head and left the classroom, running out of sight.
Meng Yan couldn’t stand it anymore and reminded Li Jin, “Li Jin, He Yunxiao didn’t go to buy buns, he skipped class.”
Li Jin said angrily, “Meng Yan, who are you to slander my brother?”
Meng Yan: This kid is hopeless.
Meng Yan: Wait a minute, why would I think he was ever saved?
……
After He Yunxiao walked out of the classroom, he suddenly found himself with one more tricky thing to do.
He had taken too many books.
In his haste to get out this morning, he had taken a few martial arts s with him that he shouldn’t have taken.
I can’t let her see this!
What if she misunderstands that I’m not serious?
Wouldn’t the Favorability Level drop like rain?
He Yunxiao was halfway along the road from the academy classroom to the Fan residence. When he thought about it, he took a slight detour and went into the academy’s quiet garden.
Even though He Yunxiao was now a regular visitor to the academy, the gardens in the academy were still a difficult maze for him to follow.
After going round and round, He Yunxiao finally managed to run quite a few miles by running fast and arrived at the place where he had last seen the Antidote Girl.
Secluded and with its signature fruit trees, it was one of those locations that were not easy to find, hidden, and at the same time carried landmarks.
In short, particularly great for hiding things.
When He Yunxiao arrived at the fruit tree, he didn’t move around the one where the antidote girl had buried the bad fruit. but found another one, the one where the antidote girl was shaking the fruit at the time.
He drew out the three s that Ziruo could not read. Wrap them around the top and bottom of two handkerchiefs. Dug a hole under the tree, and buried the books.
Both of these were new handkerchiefs.
As for the handkerchiefs used by yunyun and the antidote girl, they had long ago been found by He Yunxiao in a box and put away separately for safekeeping.
He even wrote down the usage and where they came from with a note, lest he forget them later.
Just kidding, this was a treasure to record the progress of a relationship.
For the antidote girl, the handkerchief had another purpose. It was something nice to tease her and watch her shy away.
The more He Yunxiao used it, the more he realised that the handkerchief was still very useful.
Other than that, these two items wrapped around the book today alone both protected the , and saved his Favorability Level.
Normally, He Yunxiao would choose to bring along a handkerchief with good absorbency.
Practicality is the main concern, and style is secondary.
Because no one but himself has such a good eye.
Besides, the essence of the handkerchief is not in the handkerchief itself. It is in what is attached to the handkerchief.
The master of the handkerchief now belongs to is.
After burying the , He Yunxiao stood up, patted the mud on his hands, took the rest of the books in his arms, carried the book case, and set off again on his way to the Fan House study.
After He Yunxiao had completely walked away, Jian Ling, a female swordsman of the peak strength of the ninth rank, the personal guard of the Eldest Princess of Meng Qingqian, jumped down from a tree not far away, which was overgrown, and had thick branches.
The tree was very suitable for hiding.
Therefore, every time Meng Qingqian came to torment Fan Yu at the Antler Academy, Jian Ling would hide in the tree and keep watch for her. This was so that no one who was unaware of the situation would wander around and spoil the Princess’ peace and quiet.
In fact, as long as Meng Qingqian was not meeting Fan Yu, Jian Ling would not chase away any students who came around the hut.
Even if someone did bump into Meng Qingqian, it doesn’t matter.
Not many students in the entire academy had actually seen Meng Qingqian. Those who had seen her were mostly the senior sons of the various second generations of the academy and officials at all levels of the court.
Among the younger generation, only Li Jin and Meng Yan were the only two who had seen Meng Qingqian and could recognize her at once.
As long as the two of them didn’t see the Meng Qingqian present at the academy, then everything was fine.
Apart from these ordinary academy students, Jian Ling also needed to guard against secret spies from Prime Minister Han Wenxin. But fortunately, the visit to the academy is extremely secretive, and no one with a name on the Prime Minister’s side has made any noise so far.
Although Jian ling was quiet, staying in the trees for days was boring.
It would have been better if some unscrupulous disciple from the academy had gone near Meng Qingqian’s hut, so that she could at least draw her attention and alert her. but the problem was that even that was not happening.
So she stayed in the tree, fighting with the air.
That was until He Yunxiao appeared here and sneakily buried something, and from the look of it, it didn’t look like he was up to any good.
Jian Ling had stayed by Meng Qingqian’s side and hadn’t seen He Yunxiao. But that didn’t stop her from telling Meng Qingqian that someone was hiding something and was afraid that he had no good intentions.
Meng Qingqian stayed in her hut in the garden of the academy, as she had done before.
She took the folders and asked Jian Ling, “Did you get a good look at him?”
Jian Ling said, “I didn’t see the front face, but just the side face is also very handsome.”
Burying something under a fruit tree and still very handsome?
Meng Qingqian’s face looked odd.
Even Jian Ling said that he was very handsome.
It couldn’t be that dog thief He Yunxiao, could it?
She had been reluctant to meddle with the affairs of the academy, but the fact that it might have been done by He Yunxiao was a completely different story.
When she thought that the handkerchief she had used to wipe her saliva was still in He Yunxiao’s hand, Meng Qingqian could not wait to put this him to death!
“He Yunxiao, I’d like to see what secrets you have to tell!”
