Based on Quan Jiuwei and Guo Ting alone, Xia Zhaoyi was not sure what the people in the backyard of the pawn shop were doing.
But now that Cao Youyun is added to the mix, Xia Zhaoyi is almost certain that these people definitely got together because of the matter between Duke Dingguo and the Pan family.
Cao Youyun was always arrogant, and all his friends were either rich or noble, and he was surrounded by ridiculous things. One of his words was criticized by the world for a long time, and even spread to Emperor Xuan Yan, which offended Xuan Yan.
The emperor was furious.
He said that he would rather marry a rich girl who is not good-looking, or even ugly, than look at that stunning beauty with shabby clothes and a poor family. The poor should honestly stay among the poor, put away their ambitions for friendship, and live their lives obediently.
In ordinary days, just stick to your duties.
When I recall these words, they are still vivid to me now.
People left the backyard one by one. Xia Zhaoyi waited for a long time, but no one came out again.
There were nine of them in total, and except for Cao Youyun, Quan Jiuwei and Guo Ting, she didn't recognize the other six.
As for the name of this pawn shop, she was sure she had heard of it.
However, no matter what, the people here should be "friends" to her.
Thinking of what she had thought before, that she was going to tie up Quan Jiuwei, Xia Zhaoyi suddenly laughed.
Forget it, just "spare" him. As for the couple who was monitoring him, since the entire Jiu Dimension already knew of their existence, she couldn't move too much.
After all, if it were her, if she knew someone was spying on her, she would definitely find ways to use these two monitors for her own purposes. What she wanted them to report back would all depend on her mood.
As for the Yu family, Xia Zhaoyi had no interest in caring about why the Tang Mansion became the Yu Mansion before. Now it seems that she has to investigate.
………………
Guo Ting did not go back to Qingshan Academy, but went to Zuixian Tower.
The girl's matter has now attracted everyone's attention.
Among the most positive people here, in addition to the shopkeeper and Fang Guanyan, who has always been quiet, now there is also Yang Guanxian.
Guo Ting waited upstairs for a long time. Yang Guanxian came up from downstairs and stepped on the wooden stairs crisply.
He took off his robe and handed it to the attendant beside him, ordering the attendant to leave. No one was allowed to come without his instructions.
"It's been a long time," Yang Guanxian said, "Let's go."
Pass through the lobby on the second floor, go from one aisle to another staircase, and then go upstairs, which is Yang Guanxian's study.
The door of the study is covered with all kinds of runes. When you enter the study, the first thing you see is a mahogany sword hanging on the wall, and the background is a huge Dayan evil drawing.
The air was full of sandalwood. Yang Guanxian closed the door, walked to the desk, and said, "Then Baiyou, you still haven't gone to your academy?"
"No," Guo Ting shook his head and said with some curiosity, "For this matter, you asked me to come here to wait for you? Can't you ask me over there?"
"After all, there are some things that are inconvenient to say." Yang Guanxian Su Rong said, then he took the pen on the table, dipped it in the wet ink, and wrote two words on the paper.
Guo Ting looked over and saw it was "Hundred Friends".
"What?" Guo Ting asked.
Yang Guanxian did not stop writing and wrote "Xia" next to it.
Guo Ting paused.
"Look," Yang Guanxian picked up the pen and said, "Maybe this Baiyou doesn't exist at all."
For some reason, Guo Ting felt goosebumps when he heard this sentence.
He looked at the words on the paper, licked his lips, and said, "You mean, this so-called brother was... made up by that girl?"
"Her purpose of coming is also obvious, Xia," Yang Guanxian pointed out, "The 'Xia' of Xia Zhaoxue is the 'Xia' of Duke Dingguo's mansion."
"I have to go back at night later..." Guo Ting said softly.
"This girl is really amazing," Yang Guanxian sat down opposite Guo Ting and said, "Even Mr. Zhan Chen has never met this brother, and he can write her a letter of recommendation. How does this girl do it?"
Guo Ting frowned, recalling the girl's conversation, and then said: "To be honest, her tone of voice, eyes, and demeanor made me feel comfortable. Even if I didn't like what she said, she could grasp the size.
It would completely irritate me and even induce me to follow her ideas."
"Only ten years old?"
"About ten years old, looks very young."
"There are many geniuses in the world, but the fact that she can do this is definitely not just a natural talent. She... must have been carefully cultivated by others." Yang Guanxian said.
"What do you mean? She was sent to test me?"
Yang Guanxian laughed, shook his head, and said, "I just thought of someone."
"who?"
"Do you still remember Miss Xia's master?" Yang Guanxian asked.
Guo Ting paused, and then said: "Miss Xia's master...how could I possibly know that such a fairy-like person is so far away from me."
"He can cultivate a girl Xia, do you think he can cultivate another girl?" Yang Guanxian said, "At least I want to believe that Ah Li who came to you that day, she had no ill intentions at all, and she definitely did it for
The Xia family is here."
Guo Ting stopped talking and his eyes fell on the word "Xia" on the paper.
"There is another theory," Yang Guanxian said again, "Guo Ting, do you think people can rise from the dead and be reborn?"
Guo Ting felt bad all over. He raised his head and said, "What on earth are you trying to say? It's so late at night and you are so preoccupied, how can I go back later?"
Yang Guanxian sighed softly, put down the pen in his hand, and said: "I'm just too sorry that a beauty like Miss Xia should not die like this."
"Stop!" Guo Ting said hurriedly.
After saying that, Guo Ting felt something was wrong and said again: "Wait, you mean, Miss Xia is A Li?"
"I feel like this." Yang Guanxian said.
Guo Ting frowned, a little annoyed: "Yang Guanxian, there are some things you can say and some things you can't say. What kind of person is Miss Xia? How can you be so blasphemous!"
Yang Guanxian's expression became depressed. He lowered his eyes and looked at the word "Xia" on the paper. After a long time, he said, "There is something that you may not know."
Guo Ting wanted him to shut up and stop talking, but he wanted to continue listening.
Yang Guanxian sighed: "That year, Miss Xia died on the snowy field. Yi Shurong was extremely angry when he learned that it was her. Fortunately, Yi Shurong was also a person and did not humiliate Miss Xia's body. He regretted and admired Miss Xia and left her
The body was collected together with the heavy snow it had dragged through, and put into an ice coffin, but do you know what happened next?"
Guo Ting felt a little cold.
In the dead of night, he was hiding in such a study, listening to Yang Guanxian telling such stories in such a tone. His usually brave temperament really made him feel panicked...
