"Looks like royal father has tied a good red thread for seventh brother."

Xiao Yiran was dressed in a moon-white robe with elegant green bamboo embroidered on the sleeves of his sleeves. The folding fan in his hand was embedded with a green luster, and when he sat down, he looked as if he was an elegant gentleman.

However, his narrow and long eyes were filled with a sense of shrewdness. His words were spoken clearly and his voice was clear. It was impossible to tell that he was a popinjay.

He knew that although this Fourth Brother was shrewd on the inside, and had a stiff respect for courtesies, he had made quite a number of good-for-nothing friends, and he was still persistent despite learning all day long. As he spoke to Xiao Qiran, his eyes landed on Gu Mingyan and the three children.

"Since Fourth Brother saw through it, how could he give her such a generous gift?"

Xiao Qiran thought about the priceless blood jade that Fourth Brother gave to Gu Mingyan so easily.

Furthermore, every time Crown Prince Xiao Ze saw her, he would be the center of attention, afraid that no one else would be able to see her expression.

Xiao Yiran raised his eyebrows, and laughed: "Beautiful jade, why not?"

These words were said in an ambiguous manner, causing Xiao Qiran to frown: "How can she be considered a beauty?"

"But you hid her too well. You told her to leave because others saw Linglong, so they gave her some face. If you let her take away Linglong, with just this beauty's appearance, who knows how many peach blossoms she would stain."

Xiao Yiran intentionally made fun of them, as his eyes fell on the group of Martial Academy students.

As the direct son of the Assistant Minister of the Military Department, Xia Ziji was also one of the top ten experts in Martial Academy. The Southern Viewing College couldn't be compared to the ordinary martial arts academy, as the Martial Academy didn't only teach mental cultivation techniques and martial arts, it also divided the two types of battlefield into martial arts and martial arts. In the future, only longswords and spears would stand firm on the battlefield.

Xia Ziji set his mind to the battlefield, and with a simple and unadorned blade on his back, he wrapped it with a dirty rag.

Following Xiao Yiran's line of sight, Xiao Qiran smirked: "The Broken Cloud that people in the martial arts world cannot find, why is it in Leader Xia's hands?"

"Perhaps it is because Lady Xia has come to us. Madam Xia was born in a family of weapons, and Imperial Father promoted Senior Xia to the post of Assistant Minister of the Military Department back then. The majority of it is because of Madam Xia."

Xiao Yiran smiled lightly at the other Martial Academy masters, folded his fan, and lightly knocked on the table.

"You and I are brothers, so there's no need to hide."

"Makes sense." Xiao Qiran responded, but his gaze landed on a few seemingly ordinary students behind him, and said: "Today, I will have to trouble Fourth Brother to help. A few days ago, I was poisoned, and now, I have not completely removed it, so it will not be good for me to make a move."

"So that's how it is. No wonder he invited Divine Doctor Yan to enter the palace. I'm glad that you didn't let him see any clues." Xiao Yiran's expression remained calm, as if he had long known of this matter.

As for the words "he", Xiao Qiran raised his eyebrows: "They don't need to make a move here, some students might have discovered something."

"We only need to see who they are going to attack." Xiao Yiran nodded his head, seeing that Xia Ziji was already sitting together with a group of students, waiting for the start of the test, and continued to speak: "It's just that Boss Xia had me take care of him yesterday, it's likely that the matter of provoking the great Young Miss of Prime Minister's Mansion was because of you."

After saying this, the two of them had already come to a conclusion.

Gu Mingyan had stirred trouble multiple times in the academy. Whether it was in terms of identity or ability, he had never been afraid of anyone.

If that was the case, then it was possible that Xia Ziji was doing it on purpose, causing Gu Mingyan to make a big deal out of it.

There was only one goal in causing a scene to go awry; to be outstanding.

This so-called Cloud Break blade was originally a treasured blade used by a senior martial artist a hundred years ago. It was on the famous Blade Ranking and it was not that the Cloud Break blade was so sharp that it could pierce the clouds, but it was because there were carvings of clouds on the Cloud Break blade and underneath the rags, there was still a broken blade with thirty to forty cuts on it. Not only was it not sharp, it was also useless.

Even so, the people of the martial world, in order to gain the title of Martial Saint, still wanted to use Cloud Breaker as a proof that their martial arts skills were outstanding and that they could bring out the true power of Cloud Breaker.

The moment Poyun appeared, many people from the academy looked over.

Xiao Qiran raised his hand and took a cup of green tea: "Looks like Senior Xia really wants to make Xia Ziji outstanding, but why is that so?"

"A man is innocent, but a man's wealth is his own fault. You do not need to care about the fact that you have the military power, but he is not certain. "

Xiao Yiran's fan lightly tapped on the table twice, and the servant quickly left. She actually wanted to call Gu Mingyan up.

"Why did you call her?" Xiao Qiran frowned.

"At this time, does Seventh Brother still want to show mercy?" Xiao Yiran looked at her coldly: "Xia Ziji has already looked at her for a long time, I'm afraid this time, I still need her to participate."

"Fourth Brother, I still don't know what Senior Xia intends to do. How do you want her to help?"

Xiao Qiran looked at her coldly, and Wei Bai, who was behind her, saw that she had already went over to stop Xiao Yiran's servant girl.

Narrowing his eyes, Xiao Qiran sized up the elegant Young Noble in front of him. Instead, he sneered: "I'm different from Fourth Brother in hiding, but Fourth Brother is still hiding this from me?"

If Fourth Brother truly did not know anything, how would he know that Gu Mingyan would participate in this matter?

The personal matters of the court officials had nothing to do with Gu Mingyan.

Xiao Yiran looked at Xia Ziji from afar and replied: "Yesterday, I had the intention to bring the young miss over personally so that he could see Xia Ziji bullying Bai Shao, but I never expected her to win."

"Why?"

"Senior Xia was used by the crown prince's empress before, but now, he's unwilling to hand over his wife's culinary skills to turn the tables on him. However, a spy still has to ask around and find out, the empress wants to win over the eldest young miss for her own use. Senior Xia did not care at all, but yesterday, he knew that Eldest Miss had beaten Xia Ziji, and was worried that she was someone of the empress … "

Who would have thought that after winning one match, he would still have the same thoughts as Boss Xia.

But now that Boss Xia had decided to leave the empress dowager's side, it was only right for him to be cautious.

Thinking about it, Xiao Qiran raised his hand, indicating that Wei Bai did not need to stop him, and said from the other side: "Then do you know the reason why Xia Ziji is spreading news?"

"Senior Xia already knew that there was an ulterior motive in accepting Humble Class offspring within the Martial Academy. royal father's secret order was with him, he would do whatever he wanted to him. He must expose the person behind all of this."

After Xiao Yiran finished this sentence, he spread out his hands and no longer spoke.

Presumably, he also didn't know anything else.

Xiao Qiran frowned, after receiving so many orders from his royal father, he asked Yun Che whether he should find a way to help the disciples of the Humble Class, or whether he should find a place with hidden filth within the Martial Academy, or whether he should solve the mystery of the Nine Immortal School.

Not long later, Gu Mingyan was called over and he sat in between the two princes.

"What are your highnesses' orders?" A few grey footprints appeared on Gu Mingyan's skirt, it seemed like these were caused by the little girls.

Without waiting for Xiao Yiran to speak, Xiao Qiran said softly: "Xia Ziji might attack you later, there is no need to dodge."

Xiao Yiran was startled — — Why did Seventh Brother directly ask that! Why didn't he ask them properly?
