The carriage slowly drove into the academy and drove slowly by the lake. The moonlight shone on the lake, and the waves were sparkling. I didn’t know what kind of insects they were in the distance, making some subtle noises. Together with the sound of horse hooves on the lakeside, it gave it a bit of a summer night feel.
.
The scholar driving the car skillfully pulled the reins, like a coachman with many years of experience.
There weren't many people hanging out by the South Lake at night, especially the masters. Otherwise, if they saw Wei Xu driving the car himself, they would just think about where the dean went somewhere he shouldn't have gone in the middle of the night.
In the carriage, Xie Nandu was studying a Taoist method with the help of a huge pearl. In just a few days, she had already understood all the Taoist methods, and the energy in her body became more and more powerful.
Liu Ye has been sizing up the unkempt young man in black shirt. She really can't imagine what is so good about this guy in front of her that her own lady would look at him differently.
Chen Chao was a little tired and wanted to take a nap, but he always felt that someone was staring at him, so he reluctantly opened his eyes, looked at the pretty maid, and asked, "What, no?"
Have you ever seen a handsome boy like me?"
Liu Ye twitched the corner of her mouth, but when she saw that her young lady didn't speak, she bravely said, "I don't think you're good-looking!"
Chen Chao looked indifferent and just raised his eyebrows and said, "You don't think I'm good-looking, so why do you look at me?"
Liu Ye had never seen such a person. After being retorted with two sentences, he was speechless. He could only snort and sulk alone.
Xie Nandu only then took his eyes away from the book, looked at Chen Chao, and asked, "Do you like to quarrel so much?"
Chen Chao nodded and said, "Of course, some people can't be killed and can only be angry. But fortunately, the old woman at least spit out two ounces of blood."
Xie Nandu thought for a while and asked, "What do you think the big shots will do if the matter is so big?"
Chen Chao adjusted his sitting posture to make himself more comfortable, and then said, "I won't talk about sending troops after all."
Go and completely destroy the three sects in the south?"
Xie Nandu frowned and said, "Be more serious."
Chen Chao chuckled, "It was just a joke."
Whether the imperial court will reduce major issues to trivial matters as usual this time or whether it will go against the norm, in fact, this is not something that Chen Chao needs to worry about.
Naturally, important people have to worry about such big things.
Xie Nandu was just acting on a whim. After the other party didn't reply, she stopped asking further and said instead, "Logically speaking, you are still the envoy of Tianqing County. Even if you are in Shendu, you should live in Guanyi.
Why did you come to the academy?"
"Didn't you take the initiative to invite me here?"
Chen Chao looked stunned and was talking about what happened in the Ministry of Punishment before.
Xie Nandu remained silent. Although she took the initiative to speak, she was trying to help him out.
"Didn't you get stopped by someone when you came here? It really shocked me that this kind of thing happened in the capital of the gods. You are just a first-level monk, you are too dangerous, and you saved my life.
If I sit back and do nothing, am I still a human being?”
Chen Chao looked sincere and no one could find anything wrong with him.
But Liuye only had contempt on his face.
Xie Nandu frowned and said, "I'm in the academy, what danger can there be?"
She is the close disciple of the dean. If things like that still happen in the academy, the dean will have no place to show his face.
"Okay, I just came here to avoid the limelight. Also, since I'm in the capital of the gods, how can I not visit the academy?"
The trouble in Chen Chao is so big that now everyone in the gods knows about it
For such a young man, his current situation is not too easy. There have always been many ghosts in Shendu City.
In addition to hiding from ghosts, I also come to the academy to avoid trouble.
If he wanted to avoid trouble, besides the palace, what other place in the capital would be more suitable than the academy? What's more, he had a friend in the academy.
Xie Nandu said thoughtfully, "Aren't you afraid that I might also want to recruit you?"
Chen Chao smiled and asked, "Didn't you try it when you were in Tianqing County?"
Xie Nandu did not answer the call.
Chen Chao thought to himself and said, "If it's for no other reason, my knife is still in your hand. Is it reasonable for me to take it? Speaking of which, I haven't seen it since. I really miss it.
"
Liu Ye interjected, "Then you took the knife and left immediately. How can I let you, a man, live in my lady's yard?"
Liu Ye, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke. It seemed that she didn't like the young man in front of her very much.
Chen Chao raised his eyebrows and said, "Your young lady didn't even say no, is it your turn to speak?"
Liu Ye was choked again, and her face became a little ugly. Just as she was about to speak, she saw her young lady shaking her head and softly saying, "Forget it, your mouth is no match for him."
Liu Ye felt a little aggrieved and called out to Miss in a low voice.
Xie Nandu glanced at Liu Ye comfortingly, then said, "There is something I want to ask you."
Chen Chao vaguely felt something was wrong and frowned, but still said, "You ask."
"you like me?"
This sentence was too abrupt and too direct. There were people inside and outside the carriage at the moment. Liu Ye was immediately shocked. She stared at her young lady with wide eyes, and then looked at Chen Chao reluctantly.
The emotions are the same.
Chen Chao was also startled and opened his mouth,
Unable to say anything, he said awkwardly, "Why do you ask that?"
Xie Nandu said calmly, "Commander Song who sent you a message before told me that you said that a girl in Shendu likes you. Do you know any other girls in Shendu?"
"There is nothing else..." Chen Chao felt a little guilty. When he talked about this that day, he had some calculations, but he never expected that the real owner would know it so quickly and ask it so straightforwardly.
Xie Nandu said, "When did I say I liked you?"
Chen Chao's face turned red and he shook his head and said, "Of course I didn't say that. Well, I just..."
He was a little overwhelmed, his scalp felt numb, and his heartbeat became faster.
“Good taste.”
Xie Nandu smiled slightly.
Hearing this, Chen Chao was startled.
He never thought that the girl in front of him would speak so directly, nor did he expect that she would be so understated.
Xie Nandu thought to himself and said, "If you like me, it means you have good taste."
Chen Chao didn't speak, and was silent for the first time.
Xie Nandu didn't speak anymore, but her cheeks were slightly red, as if two peach blossoms had settled on her face.
Chen Chao looked at her and smiled unconsciously.
This is perhaps the most beautiful painting in the world.
The driver was not only skilled in driving, but also had good hearing. He also laughed while listening to the conversation between the boys and girls in the carriage.
Not long after, the carriage slowly stopped in front of a small courtyard.
Wei Xu jumped off the carriage and said warmly, "Little junior sister, we're here."
——
It's a bit short, but it has to end here. I really like this chapter. I said before I started the book that this book would be sprinkled with sugar, and it's true.
This chapter has been completed!
