Han Fei understood in his heart that this was Fu Nian's good intention, so he didn't force himself to defend himself and just smiled.
"Okay, Senior Brother, don't worry about me. First, tell me how the teacher is doing lately."
Seeing Han Fei give up his usual strong arguments so easily, Fu Nian sighed in his heart, this junior brother who gave him such a headache has finally changed a bit.
Maybe this is a good change, but Fu Nian still can't help but sigh.
"Uncle, everything is fine." Fu Nian replied solemnly, with the expression on his face unchanged, "But before this trip, uncle asked me to do something."
"What's going on? Do you need my help, junior brother?" Han Fei asked with a smile.
Fu Nian looked at Han Fei and asked with a solemn expression, "Uncle Master asked me to ask you, do you want to go back to Xiaoshengxian Manor to continue your studies?"
"..." Han Fei's playful smile gradually disappeared and turned into a faint smile, with complex meanings in his eyes, including admiration, guilt, helplessness, etc...
Xunzi asked this question because he wanted Han Fei to return to Xiaoshengxian Manor, so as to get rid of the helpless responsibility that his identity as a Korean son had given him.
As a prince of the royal family, it is understandable that Han Fei wants to save the country and Xunzi did not stop him originally. However, as things have developed so far, South Korea's performance is like mud that cannot be lifted up.
The country is about to perish, how can manpower stop it?
As long as Han Fei returns to the Little Sage Village, with the blessing of Confucianism, he can avoid the disputes among the seven countries. Neither South Korea nor Qin can force Han Fei anymore.
Of course, Han Fei was already a disciple, and he had already served as a minister in Korea and Qin. If Xunzi really recalled Han Fei to Xiaoshengxian Village this time, he would be easily criticized, but for the sake of the life of his beloved disciple,
This little bit of face is nothing.
However, the answer Han Fei will give is obvious.
"Haha..." Han Fei scratched his head and declined implicitly, "Senior Brother, I have already left the military service, and now that I have become an official, why should I go to school?"
Fu Nian replied solemnly, "In my opinion, junior brother, you should follow your uncle's arrangements."
Han Fei stubbornly shook his head, "Senior Brother, it's not necessary..."
"Huh..." Fu Nian sighed softly and stopped forcing.
Xunzi had given him instructions before he came. It was enough to mention this matter to Han Fei once. If the other party was unwilling, there was no need to force it.
Personal choice cannot be forced even by him as a teacher.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little gloomy, Han Fei quickly changed the subject and said, "Speaking of tomorrow, Senior Brother, are you okay?"
When Fu Nian heard this, he wiped away the gloom on his face, and replied solemnly, "The lectures for Young Master Fusu have not been completely arranged yet. There should be nothing wrong tomorrow. What's wrong?"
"Oh, it's nothing." Han Fei replied with a smile, "Junior Brother Li Si will probably look for you tomorrow. If nothing happens, he and I will take you around Xianyang City."
Fu Nian nodded slightly and did not refuse, "That's fine, but it still depends on whether Dr. Chunyu will make arrangements tomorrow."
"I understand, I understand." Han Fei nodded repeatedly.
Han Fei knew Fu Nian's temperament very well. Although he was old-fashioned and upright, he was not a nerd. He would definitely be willing to take a walk when he came to Xianyang. The only prerequisite was that there was no other serious business to do.
While the two were chatting, Gu Xun also returned here. Seeing this scene, he smiled and said, "Hey, we were just chatting. I didn't disturb you, right?"
When Han Fei saw that Gu Xun was back, he waved excitedly, "Brother Gu, come and sit down. I was looking for you just now."
Seeing that only Gu Xun was back, Fu Nian couldn't help but quickly interjected and asked, "Master Imperial Master, don't you know about Junior Brother Yan Lu?"
"Oh!" Gu Xun nodded and explained, "I sent the others there and came back."
"When they reunite as old friends, there is no need for me to get involved."
Han Fei nodded and agreed, "That's right."
Seeing that Han Fei's expression was as usual, Fu Nian was slightly relieved.
………………
On the other side, inside the central courtyard of the Imperial Prefecture.
After Yan Lu walked in along the road, he soon saw two figures, one big and one small.
The younger one was playing in the courtyard, while the older one stood quietly not far away and watched.
Although the clothes he wore were no longer what he remembered, Yan Lu still recognized Jing Salamander at a glance.
Frightened Salamander also saw him at this time.
Yan Lu, who was wearing a plain robe of a Confucian disciple, had not changed much compared to the last time he and she were separated. It was just that he had grown taller, and as for his appearance, he was still so cute.
There was no exciting reunion or recognition. The two people's expressions were surprisingly similar and calm, but they both smiled.
Yan Lu slowly walked up to Jing Salamander and shouted, "Sister Jing Salamander."
Jing Shao looked at Yan Lu tenderly and said softly, "A Lu, you have grown a lot taller."
Yan Lu scratched his head and said with a smile, "Sister Jing salamander, you have changed a lot too."
At this time, Ayan, who was playing, also noticed that a stranger appeared in the house. She was not afraid and swayed over with her short legs.
Yan Lu squatted in front of Ayan, put his hands together, hugged little Ayan, and said happily, "Ayan, he has grown so big."
Little Ayan, who was originally curious about strangers, felt that she was being controlled and quickly waved her arms, "No, no!"
Seeing her unhappy look, Yan Lu smiled and let go.
The little girl was freed and ran away again.
"It seems like she doesn't like me very much." Yan Lu stood up and said to Jing Salamander.
"This child is quite naughty." Frightened Salamander explained with a gentle smile.
The expression on the surprised salamander made Yan Lu feel very strange.
In the past, before Ayan was born, Jing Salamander would become a little softer every time he mentioned the child in his belly, but the murderous aura in his eyebrows would always be stubborn. But now, Yan Lu found that the murderous aura had completely dissipated.
.
"Sister Jingbao, what happened next? How did you get together with this Qin State Master?" Yan Lu asked his doubts.
When faced with the scary salamander, the young and mature Yan Lu no longer needs to maintain his reserved indifference, he can just speak up and ask questions.
"Well...he saved my life and Ayan's life, and has always protected me and Ayan." Jingyu did not elaborate, but simply explained.
Although the content is simple, the meaning is expressed clearly enough.
Yan Lu thought for a moment and asked, "Sister Jingyu, are you and him... doing it to repay your kindness?"
Frightened Salamander shook his head, "No... at least not now."
"Okay, Alu, you don't have to worry about me."
Yan Lu pursed his lips and smiled, "That's good."
Now that there were only two of them, Jing Salamander had no reason to deceive him. Coupled with Jing Salamander's current state, Yan Lu was still willing to believe that she was indeed living a good life.
As for whether she might be deceived by Gu Xun, there is no need to worry about it now.
