The Great Master naturally understood the intention of his words and spoke lightly, "Since it is the Holy Emperor's decree, this old man should not interfere too much."
"Now that Yang'er has no other thoughts, it would be best for you to pay more attention to the other Genius Scholars."
The Third Master's face showed bitterness, and he said, "Mr. Lin, you also know the current situation. Since that day, Xie Dongan and Jiang Ye have not returned to the Academy..."
"Then pay them a visit. I believe the Left Minister understands the bigger picture and can persuade Dong An to return to the Academy."
"I will head to the Left Minister's Mansion early tomorrow morning to try to persuade him."
It wasn't until late into the night that Li Qingzhou finally got up and left, heading straight toward Duke Wuan Mansion.
At that moment, his expression changed slightly, and his eyes instinctively glanced at the Kyoto Academy below.
"Master, find a sufficiently safe place where you won't be detected. I have important matters to discuss..."
The night passed without a word.
In the early hours before dawn, as the sky was just beginning to brighten, Lin Xueru got up early, washed and dressed, and called Xiao Xuanzhen, Fairy Hua, and Hua Youxiang to the Chen Family's central courtyard for breakfast.
Along the way, everyone from Duke Wu An Mansion, whether guard, house servant, or maid, greeted them with pleasant smiles.
"Senior Sister Xueru, looking at the Chen Residence, it seems they're eager to have you marry soon?"
Xiao Xuanzhen glanced around, asking pointedly, "What do you plan to do about it, Senior Sister Xueru?"
Caught off guard, Lin Xueru blushed on her exquisite, beautiful face. She shyly glanced at the people of the Chen Residence around her and whispered:
"Brother Yi and I have been engaged for a long time, so, I should be able to marry over."
"Of course you can," Xiao Xuanzhen took her arm and playfully asked:
"I'm asking if you also want to marry over soon. Now Junior Brother Chen Yi has already become Lord Heroic Marquis."
"If you marry over, you'll directly become the Marquis' wife... isn't that exciting?"
Lin Xueru's face became even redder, but upon seeing Fairy Hua, her smile slightly restrained, she said:
"Brother Yi isn't here, otherwise, he would definitely not be polite to you."
"Am I supposed to be afraid of him?" Xiao Xuanzhen snorted, "Immortal Sister, do you think what I asked was appropriate just now?"
Fairy Hua's face looked a bit unnatural, but upon seeing Lin Xueru's gaze, she instinctively moved closer and shook her head, saying:
"This is a matter between Senior Sister Lin and Brother Chen, I, I don't know either..."
Xiao Xuanzhen looked at the two of them, her eyes rolled around and said:
"Oh, you two! Does Immortal Sister also want to marry Junior Brother Chen, cooperating with Senior Sister Xueru ?"
Fairy Hua's face flushed bright red, she glanced at Lin Xueru hesitantly and for a moment didn't know how to respond.
Lin Xueru, however, didn't mind and chided, "Senior Sister, you just like to tease Immortal Sister."
Saying this, she hugged Immortal Sister's arm, quickened her pace slightly, and said:
"Immortal Sister, let's not pay attention to Senior Sister Xiao, she will just make fun of us."
Xiao Xuanzhen made a noise and immediately chased after them, "I wasn't wrong, when we were going to the Southern Barbarian Land, I already noticed..."
Trailing behind them, Hua Youxiang looked at his elder sister sandwiched in between, sighed like an adult.
"Sister, if you don't work hard, you might not even have the chance to stand by Brother Chen's side."
Compared to Fairy Hua, unsure of how to express herself, Hua Youxiang could see everything clearly.
Although elder sister is so fond of Brother Chen Yi, she still worries about many things.
She worries whether Chen Yi would be burdened, fears that Senior Sister Lin Xueru would blame her after learning her feelings, as well the gap between the Chen Family and Hua Family.
"Elder sister really, she's already a famous Fairy in the Martial World, she should show some more momentum."
Hua Youxiang mumbled a few words, her eyes rolled around and with a sly gaze, she looked back at Chunhe Garden.
Brother, you probably wouldn't mind getting along with my elder sister, would you?
