Xu Tianshong was already used to this person being lazy. He usually woke him up early in the morning as if he was taking a life.
The last time, he almost lost his life, which scared the entire Xu Clan. Naturally, the matter of studying was left unsettled, but he suddenly became diligent. Every morning, he would drag Qing Yi to the entrance of the academy to wait. Xu Qiuyi also knew that he was wrong about someone, and he felt embarrassed. Furthermore, the Old Ancestor was also alarmed, so even though he felt bitter, he had no choice but to follow him.
However, that little girl seemed to have disappeared, as if nothing had happened.
With the Old Ancestor pressing down on him and the little ancestor Xu Tiangong chasing after him, his life was going to be very difficult. He naturally did not dare to ask about Xu Tianyun's arrival at the gate of the academy, otherwise … He didn't fear the people beside him for the past ten thousand years, but these two people were two of his own mountains. No matter how capable he was, he didn't dare to go against them …
He could only get his men to hurry up their search while warning Qing Yi to not take any chances with Xu Tianyi and to not let the previous incident happen again and again.
Since Qing Yi had received her previous lesson, she naturally did not dare to be careless. She could not wait to stare at Xu Tianyi and not even dare to blink. With Xu Tianshong's physique, even though he was fine for the time being, he was still much weaker than the average person. Seeing that the sun was about to rise, he waited another morning for fear that something would happen to him. Although he knew that Xu Tianshi did not want to listen, he could only go up and urge him.
However, he didn't expect that before he could finish his words, Xu Tianyong, who was resting obediently on the ground, would suddenly jump up and run towards the distance while screaming.
"Gu Jinyu, Gu Jinyu …" "Here, here …"
His eyes beaming, Xu Tiangong waved his hand as he ran, shouting at the top of his lungs. His wrinkled face instantly relaxed as a big smile appeared on it. From the looks of it, if he hadn't known about the conflict between Xu Tianshong and Gu Jinyu, he would have thought that the two of them were on good terms with each other.
"It's him!"
Although Jiu Niang had urged him to come to the academy, he still couldn't be at ease by himself. He cleaned up his house and prepared lunch before he left. He had some questions to ask of his teacher, so it didn't matter if he arrived earlier or later. But he didn't expect that … Although he couldn't see with his eyes, he recognized the voice the moment he heard it …
"What's the matter, Xu Tianshong?"
Standing there, although Gu Jinyu still had a calm expression, she couldn't help but lower her eyes. Anyone who knew him would know that he wasn't in a good mood at the moment.
Of course, it was all Xu Tianyi's fault. Otherwise, Jiu Niang wouldn't have suffered so much.
Fine, Nona didn't mention anything about the medicine store that day. Gu Jinyu didn't know that the pustule on Nona's face was caused by Xu Qiuyi breaking it. However, he knew that the reason why Nona was punished to kneel was because of Xu Tianyi, while he and Madam Gu thought that the pustule on Nona's face was broken when she fell. But even so, he still didn't have any good intentions towards Xu Tianyi.
"Wow!" Great! "I've finally found you." Xu Tianlong excitedly jumped up and hugged Gu Jinyu's neck, rubbing his body in excitement. He looked just like a little dog that saw its owner.
Of course, he had been waiting for half a month already. He finally got someone to wait for him after so much difficulty. It would be strange if he wasn't excited in his heart.
It was a good thing that Xu Tiangong had a heart attack. Although she was raised delicately, she couldn't be considered fat. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to bear such a pounce.
"Let go!"
Even so, Gu Jinyu's expression quickly darkened.
What he disliked the most was cuddling and hugging. Moreover, he didn't like this person at all.
However, Xu Tianlong was very happy and did not take Gu Jinyu's words seriously. Although he had let go of his neck, he still put his arms around his shoulders and looked like a good brother. He was ten years old this year, and three years younger than Gu Jinyu. He was half a head shorter than Gu Jinyu, so he could barely put his arm around her shoulders as he tiptoed, looking like he was hanging on top of her.
Hey, where are you?" I've been waiting for you for half a month. "You don't even know that the teacher at the Institute is too bad to tell me where your house is." "After waiting for half a month, she finally saw someone alive. It would be a shame if she didn't complain a little bit. Xu Tianyun put his arm around Gu Jinyu's shoulders and without a word, he began to complain.
He was already used to being lazy. Looking at the people around the town, who wouldn't give him face when they saw him? Just the academy teacher alone, for some reason, was someone who was unapproachable, even if he was soft or hard. Originally, he was happy to go to the academy to study. Since he was young, he did not have anyone to play with. There were many people in the academy, many people to play with. However, he never expected that all the teachers in the academy would hate him. His actions were truly merciless. A two finger-wide ruler, it bulged to the point that his palm swelled up.
After the first time he was beaten up for not being able to memorize a book, he hated the academy.
He was someone who was not afraid of the heavens or the earth. He had always been the only one to beat someone up. How could anyone else possibly beat him up? He wanted to go home and complain, but he didn't expect his father, who always doted on him, to not only not help him take revenge, but also say that he had fought well. From then on, he no longer dared to complain about what happened in the academy. In any case, he knew in his heart that it was useless to complain, so he just said it was a waste of his saliva.
Thus, even though he knew that he had to save that girl and Gu Jinyu that were siblings, he didn't tell his father that he would find her if he followed Gu Jinyu's example. He had his own selfish thoughts as well. That girl was his savior. If he, Xu Tianfeng, wanted to find her, he would have to find her by himself. Therefore, he had stayed here for more than half a month. He did not cry out in pain, nor did he cry out in exhaustion.
"Why are you looking for me?"
Taking two steps back, he pushed Xu Tianyi away without leaving a trace. Gu Jinyu frowned slightly. He had heard quite a bit about Xu Tianyi, and many people in the academy were complaining about him. However, because he was Xu Qiuyi's son, no one could do anything to him. Normally, Gu Jinyu would hide as much as she could, but she didn't expect to bump into her in front of Nona that day. Upon hearing that he had been looking for her for the better part of a month, Gu Jinyu could not help but feel bad. It seemed that the next time she went out, she would have to check out the calendar. Hearing that her husband didn't tell her where her family lived, Gu Jinyu felt a burst of gratitude, and at the same time decided that she would thank her teacher.
"Actually, I'm not looking for you." Shaking his head, Xu Tianyun was actually a bit embarrassed. His face was slightly red as he lowered his head. He stared at his feet and kicked the dust on the ground. Gu Jinyu couldn't see it, but Qing Yi could see it clearly. When she saw her young master in such a state, Qing Yi's jaw almost dropped off.
"In that case, I shall take my leave first." Not looking for him? Then why did he have to stop me? Gu Jinyu was filled with doubts, but she didn't want to ask or find out. Instead, she turned and prepared to enter the academy.
However, he didn't expect to be caught by Xu Tianshi after just two steps.
With both hands tightly holding onto Gu Jinyu's waist, Xu Tianyun hung onto her like a bear with no tail, shouting loudly, "Don't go, don't go, you can't go!"
This was the first time Gu Jinyu had been hugged like this by someone, and she immediately became displeased. A trace of anger flashed across her clear eyes, and her tone of voice also became deeper, "Let go!" "This is the entrance to the academy, what a shame!"
"I …" I... "I-I'm not looking for you, I'm looking for your sister!" Although Xu Tianlong was a bit mischievous, he knew that Gu Jinyu must have been truly angry. She was difficult to explain, but in the end, he still said the reason for his visit, "I-I am not the kind of person who doesn't know what's good for me. Since she saved my life, I will definitely repay her."
Gritting his teeth, Xu Tianshong spoke all the information he had in one breath. He suddenly felt comfortable, and it wasn't hard to feel shy now.
Originally, this wasn't something that couldn't be exposed. Speaking of which, if it hadn't been for Ninth Madame saving him, perhaps he would have lost his life. He had truly listened to Shopkeeper Wang's words back then. Others were only looking at the danger, but he was the person involved. He was well aware of how terrifying the situation was at that time. Even though he had never broken a soup, he had never felt as uncomfortable as that day. He even thought that he had met the Black and White Impermanence and it was that girl who had pulled him back from the yellow springs. This was a life saving favor, so it wasn't hard to say. However, this youngster's temperament was such that even if the person beside him was 10 years old, he wouldn't make so many twists and turns. He was the darling of the Xu family, and during festivals, the Xu family would always invite a few scholars to perform. They would sing of those scholars and young ladies who were in love with each other, or else they would be filled with enmity and chivalry. The children of the other families would more or less avoid him, but he was the darling of the Xu family. How could he avoid him?
Normally, he would be raised in a place that was good to eat and live in. When he saw that the people around him were either maidservants from his own clan or were carrying him, he would naturally not have any bizarre thoughts. However, this could not have happened in such a short time, and it just so happened to be such a huge matter. This little girl suddenly jumped out at this critical moment, pulling him back from this life and death situation. He had heard about the heroes saving beauties, and the gentle love of chivalrous women. All of them had appeared, and he thought that all of this was just a matter of himself. Because of that little boy's heart, he couldn't stop trembling.
That was why she felt even more embarrassed to meet Gu Jinyu.
Logically speaking, this should be considered as the fear of being out of town. Looking at Gu Jinyu, he actually felt shy and embarrassed …
"My sister?" "Why are you looking for my sister?"
Nona? Xu Tianlong had only met Nona once, and he had waited half a month just to meet her? And what did he mean by 'saving a life'?
Frowning, Gu Jinyu's expression changed slightly, and she suddenly felt uncomfortable.
Pushing Xu Tiangong aside, he took two steps forward and put on a serious face, "My sister doesn't know anything, she has never saved you, and there's nothing to be grateful for. You should go home."
With something on her mind, Gu Jinyu hurriedly turned around and didn't go to the academy anymore. Anyway, she didn't need to rush over those things at the moment, as she was worried about Nona.
These few days, he had suspected that there was something that Jiu Niang hadn't told him. Logically speaking, even if she fell, she wouldn't dare to break so many pustules on her face. However, it wouldn't be good for him to ask if Jiu Niang didn't tell him. She was afraid that asking too many questions had hurt Nona's feelings. However, from the looks of it, it seemed that it wasn't that simple …
It was better for him to ask clearly.
