Chapter 156: Chapter 139: You Must Remain Virtuous, Oh (Two-in-One ga Chapter)_3 Chapter 156: Chapter 139: You Must Remain Virtuous, Oh (Two-in-One ga Chapter)_3 Jiang Chebai had finished a rough outline of the matters in Zhi Shui Country, and seeing that Zhao Lingfei was imrsed and reflecting, he also fell silent for a mont.
Suddenly, his expression shifted, and he chuckled, “I heard that Siqi Academy has a new young gentleman. It seems Teacher Zhu will lose another handful of his beard.”
Zhao Lingfei, coming back to her senses, laughed out loud upon hearing this.
The humor of this amusing incident was exclusive to the Residence Students of Taiching Prefecture and the disciples of Linlu Academy.
Teacher Zhu was the Mountain Master of Linlu Academy.
He was also a Confucianism teacher in Taiching Prefecture, and nearly all the Residence Students had taken his classes; they were well aware of the old teacher’s character and felt a special closeness to him.
And Taiching Prefecture and Linlu Academy, one being the premier institution gathering the brightest talents from Wangque Continent, and the other occupying the essence of Half Continent’s Confucian scholarly elegance.
The two were located very close to each other, with the Residence Students and disciples often visiting each other.
There were many interesting tales to tell.
This ti, with the ergence of a new young gentleman at another Confucian Academy, everyone inevitably turned their attention to Linlu Academy.
And wouldn’t the quirky-tempered Teacher Zhu, accustod to stroking his white beard, be distressed about not having fresh blood and tear out a handful of his whiskers?
And wouldn’t this give Taiching Prefecture another chance to tease the scholars of Linlu Academy?
When the beauty laughed, all charms sprung to life.
Not only did it send Jiang Chebai’s heart aflutter, making it difficult to look away.
But it also drew the unwavering gaze of nurous Residence Students who were paying attention to the scene.
Jiang Chebai, feeling a sense of joy at causing the beautiful woman to laugh, sensed that he had never been closer to Zhao Lingfei.
Jiang Chebai had seen many exceptionally beautiful won, and even in Taiching Prefecture, nurous Fairies favored by the other Residence Students had hinted their affection towards him.
But he had always been indifferent.
He felt that in this world, only the sword at Heart Lake, the fine wine in his hand, and the company of dear friends were of any interest.
However.
It was on that day that he fell into the net of love.
It was not for Zhao Lingfei’s extre beauty, but for the mont that made his heartstrings tremble.
That day.
It was his second ti visiting Taiching’s Tranquility Mansion to deliver a letter for his master to Teacher Bai.
He had seen Zhao Lingfei his first ti there, knew she was a disciple of Teacher Bai, and had also handed her the letter last ti.
The first ti he saw Zhao Lingfei, he only thought she was extraordinarily beautiful, well-dressed, refined, and pleasing to the eye, and additionally, he found it strange that the Cold Cicada Sword on his back would resonate when he approached this Sister Zhao.
The second ti he delivered the letter, he went directly to find Zhao Lingfei, just like the last ti.
He could still rember.
That afternoon.
A gentle breeze blew, and the sunlight was just right.
Birds were singing lodiously, heralding tranquility.
He found her by a lakeside at that ti.
There were lotuses and mandarin ducks on the lake, no bystanders by the lake, and from a distance, he could only see her slender figure seated on a rock, her head bowed as she fiddled with sothing unknown.
He approached with his sword in tow.
And then, he stumbled into an embrace of spring breeze.
Before him.
She was sitting there, head bowed low, her flawless white hands working on delicate embroidery and needlework.
She was softly biting on her cherry lips, her eyes, accentuated by a tear mole, slightly narrowed, intensely focused on the embroidery in her hands, as if facing the most arduous task in the world.
She threaded the needle cautiously.
One stitch.
Two stitches.
Suddenly, her hand retracted.
Her jade lips parted slightly, taking a finger into her mouth, her expression aggrieved, sucking gently.
But when her gaze touched the patterns on the embroidery, she smiled foolishly again.
While still gripping tightly the needle that pricked her, her other hand softly hugged the embroidery to her chest, her head tilted tenderly as she watched the mandarin ducks on the lake.
That mont, that scene, was utterly different from the cool elegance she radiated the first ti he saw her.
Jiang Chebai had long since stopped in his tracks.
Staring dumbfounded.
The Cold Cicada on his back was resonating along with his heartstrings.
What she was embroidering, he did not know, it seed to be a couple of chubby ducks…
But that wasn’t the point.
The point was, he knew it was her.
