Chapter 71

He Yunxiao had thought that Fan Ziruo was studying some famous book, but he had never thought that the girl was actually reading a martial arts novel!
Apart from the martial arts novel on the table, there was another one, a proper illustrated guide to weapons.
As it was closed, He Yunxiao could not see the contents of the weapons catalog. But just from its thickness, it was very hardcore. At first glance, he knew that it was a professional book read by professionals.
He Yunxiao suddenly understood why Fan Ziruos favourability towards Chu Fan had risen like crazy.
It was because Chu Fan had only recently entered Yinjing. His body had a heavy aura of jianghu, and he was also holding a sword, a proper image of a jianghu swordsman. Add to this Chu Fans sword-drawn pretense, plus his ordinary appearance, plus his steely gaze..
A perfect template for a protagonist in a pure martial arts novel!
No wonder Fan Ziruo liked him!
Young Master?
The slow-starting Fan Ziruo finally managed to boot up.
With an idea in his mind, He Yunxiao pretended not to notice the martial arts novel on his desk, then immediately moved his chair to sit by Fan Ziruos desk. Due to his current low level, He Yunxiao was not very close to Fan Ziruo, and the two sides kept a safe distance.
He Yunxiao said with sincere eyes, Youve said in class that I could come to see you after class, so here I am.
Fan Ziruo said, Its still afternoon, doesnt you have to go to the next class?
He Yunxiao said, I have a you to teach me, so why would I want to go to someone elses class?
Fan Ziruo said calmly, There are specialties in the field of study, my lessons may not be as good as others.
He Yunxiao laughed, Although Ziruo may not be as good as others, you are definitely more beautiful than others.
[Fan Ziruos favorability level changed from 33 to 31]
Her tone remained the same as that of an ancient wave.
Young Master would prefer to be address me as Miss or teacher.
He Yunxiao was a bit speechless.
Do you know how hard it was for me to save up these two Favorability Levels?
I was sent back with such a cheap remark!
It seems that this girl doesnt like jokers and gentry who talk like words.
He Yunxiao then also collected his thoughts and became serious for a rare occasion.
He said, Miss Fan, the coming March is the imperial examinations, and I have missed too many classes, so I would like to ask you what I can do to remedy the situation?
Fan Ziruo did not care about the title of master and apprentice, and had only corrected He Yunxiao because it was too intimate for him to be called her Ziruo. Now, although He Yunxiao called her Miss instead of Teacher, to her, it was all the same.
She got up and went to the bookshelf to fetch some classical books, which were basically the same as the list of books required for the imperial examinations.
These books were well known to all students who took part in the imperial examinations, so she gave them to He Yunxiao as a mere gesture.
He Yunxiao is quietly reading a book.
In the afternoon, the sun shines through the window, pouring colourful light and warmth on the table.
He is sitting upright at the table with his back straight.
His face is half illuminated by the wonderful sunlight, and the corners of his mouth are curled in a smile, as if he has thought of something happy.
At the moment, Fan Ziruo could see the dust floating in the sunlight and the, illuminated, glowing fuzz on He Yunxiaos face.
Just as she was dazed, He Yunxiao sensed something and turned his head, smiling at Fan Ziruo, Miss Fan, what are you looking at?
Looking at his smile, Fan Ziruos heart couldnt help but jump a little, a little harder than the usual jump.
Fan Ziruo didnt avoid it as she said, It seems that Ziruo once heard that Young Masters handsome Yinjing is number one, and now it seems that the rumours have some credibility.
He Yunxiao said with amusement, I just complimented you on your beauty, but you forbade me to say so. Now, Miss Fan is talking about me.
Fan Ziruo said, How can I not let you say that?
He Yunxiao didnt want to dwell on whether she would let him or not. That would be meaningless. He said directly, Then I will not be polite. In my heart, Miss fan is much prettier than other woman!
This time, the favorability level was steady at 34, not decreasing.
At this time, He Yunxiao timely and accidentally discovered Fan Ziruos martial arts novels.
Then he was surprised and said, Does Miss Ziruo like to read martial arts?
Naturally, he changed it from Miss Fan to Miss Ziruo.
Yes. Fan Ziruo answered. I grew up at home and didnt even go to the streets often. I dont even know what the mountains and rivers outside of Yinjing are like. Moreover, my father forbade me to practise martial arts, so at that time, I became interested in the stories of martial artists, somehow. Wondering what I would do if I could become a great warrior.
Looking at the illustrated guide to weapons on the table, He Yunxiao suddenly remembered that sister Du had told him that Fan Ziruo could write novels.
It turned out that she was looking at the illustrated guide to weapons in order to write a novel.
He Yunxiao said, Although you cant practice martial arts, you can write. Why dont you write a novel to make the warriors dream come true?
Fan Ziruo said, I do want to write, but its not that easy.
He Yunxiao struck while the iron was hot, Is it because you dont know much about martial arts? I do! I know how to use swords, staffs and spears. Although I may not specialise in them, its not a problem for me to do a fancy trick for your reference.
This was a very moving offer, but at the same time it would also owe He Yunxiao a great favor, and Fan Ziruo hesitated.
He Yunxiao pushed the borrowed book in front of Fan Ziruos face.
Miss Ziruo teaches me articles, and I teach Miss martial arts. Thats fair, right?
Mm.
Then its a deal?
Its a deal.
