Chapter 407: Chapter 292: Both Sceneries Have Arrived? (Corrected, brothers refresh!!!) Chapter 407: Chapter 292: Both Sceneries Have Arrived? (Corrected, brothers refresh!!!) “At the main entrance of the Academy, there is a girl looking for you.”
The words of the gatekeeper had just fallen.
Zhao Rong was stunned.
This commotion imdiately attracted the attention of the students from Shuaixing Hall, who all turned their gaze toward him.
The gatekeeper was standing at the entrance of the main hall, holding a register book for visitors, which he had been perusing since his arrival.
Today was a day off, and there were many visitors to Linlu Academy.
Many of them were relatives or acquaintances of students, coming to visit.
For example, this student surnad Zhao, he seed to be one as well.
For first-ti visitors, the stewards at the main entrance would simply register their information and then, after accumulating a certain number of visitors, would go inside the Academy to notify each person in turn.
The steward flipped through a few pages of the register, chatting casually as he spoke slowly,
“Young master, please wait a mont, let find it, find it… Oh, right, this young lady said she is in no hurry, ntioned that if you were busy with important affairs, then she would wait until you are free… But I rember, she seed to have been waiting quite a while already…”
Most of the Shuaixing Hall students curiously watched Zhao Rong beside the podium.
Another girl looking for you?
Your wife just visited a little while ago, right? It mustn’t be her, so who could this be… perhaps a good friend?
But Zhao Rong did not give the others ti to ponder or their gazes to beco strange.
His eyes slightly widened, his smile faded, and he opened his mouth as if to ask sothing but then he imdiately closed it.
He swallowed back the wasteful chatter.
Zhao Rong stood still, blinking.
The next second.
He moved abruptly, without a word, heading toward the exit.
At that mont, the gatekeeper stopped his thumbing through the register, looked carefully at a page, and nodded.
“Hmm, here it is, I found it. This young lady is from Taiching Prefecture…”
Zhao Rong had already taken big strides out of the hall door by then, passing directly in front of the gatekeeper without stopping.
“Thank you, brother!”
Zhao Rong did not linger, leaving behind a word of thanks, he had already run off.
He left everyone behind, disappearing at the corner where the shaded path t the long corridor.
The gatekeeper looked up, startled, his speech halted, and he closed the register in his hands.
The students from Shuaixing Hall looked at each other, so of their expressions turning peculiar…
————
Zhao Rong hurried along the way, not stopping for a mont as he rushed to the Academy’s main gate.
His mood was quite conflicted at this mont.
On one hand, he was happy about the arrival of a certain silly girl. Not having seen her for two months, he wondered if she had lost weight and thought about pinching her cheeks later…
On the other hand, Zhao Rong felt quite anxious.
Because Qing Jun had just visited and was currently inside the Academy!
The unlikely eting between Qing Jun and the girl seed imminent.
That morning, Zhao Rong had hoped for just one of the two beauties to visit, praying they wouldn’t co at the sa ti, which he definitely couldn’t handle.
But alas, it seed his fears had materialized…
Zhao Rong thought to himself.
When he had sent the girl to Star-picking Tower initially, he had agreed that once everything was set for him at the Academy, he would go find her.
He had asked her to obediently wait for his arrival.
But now, she had co directly…
Zhao Rong narrowed his eyes.
He didn’t bla the silly girl in his heart.
He was well aware of how clingy she was.
This ti, she probably really missed him a lot.
So, unable to help herself, she found a plausible excuse—probably the only reason that made sense to her—to joyfully co looking for him.
Wait, that’s not right!
Zhao Rong frowned, considering another possibility.
When they had parted ways previously, he had instructed the girl that if anything concerning her arose, she must co and speak to Zhao Rong imdiately, without making any decisions on her own.
Had the girl run into trouble?
Zhao Rong’s frown deepened.
He looked up toward the direction of the main entrance, quickening his steps once again.
He hoped it was just for the forr reason.
Furthermore, Zhao Rong was slightly puzzled.
Was the girl also in Taiching Four Mansions?
He was eighty percent sure that the young girl who had co to find him was Xiao Xiao because, in Du You City, there were no other won fitting the description given by the gatekeeper.
The Lu Wan who applied for the card back then?
She was a mortal from below the mountain and could not possibly enter Taiching Prefecture.
Was it Liu Kongyi, the one surrounded by the Dragon Carp that he had t at the Nuanyi Gathering?
That was not right.
Zhao Rong shook his head.
Not to ntion whether their relationship had reached that stage.
Lately, he had heard that Lady Liu had been searching everywhere for him as her master to present tea to.
She certainly had a motive to co.
But this Lady Liu was keen on joining literary gatherings.
With her ability to make extensive connections, she knew a handful of scholars and elder brothers at Linlu Academy. How could she not enter the main gate of the academy?
The person looking for Zhao Rong must be visiting Linlu Academy for the first ti.
Thus, combining what the steward had said… why was Xiao Xiao in the Taiching Four Mansions?
Did she recently go there, or has she always been there?
Was she there at Taiching Prefecture when he was lecturing with Teacher Yan?
Was it because of her great-grandmother?
Zhao Rong pursed his lips.
Unexpectedly, Qing Jun and Xiao Xiao had beco so close.
Suddenly, he lifted his eyelids.
He rembered the red carp girl nad Green Pearl he had t at the Nuanyi Gathering.
At the ti, Zhao Rong, chatting with her, had curiously asked about the demon race in Taiching Prefecture…
Before long, Zhao Rong’s brow relaxed.
Thinking too much now was futile; everything would beco clear once he reached the main gate of the academy.
With that thought, he couldn’t help but quicken his pace.
At the sa ti, a trace of relief crossed Zhao Rong’s face.
Fortunately, the academy had a ticulous system in place that temporarily kept the first-ti visitor Xiao Xiao out.
A visitor must notify the academy upon their first visit, and can only enter with soone’s guarantee.
Just like Qing Jun the previous ti.
This ti, Qing Jun could directly enter the academy because she had previously visited on a day off.
Zhao Rong rembered that Qing Jun said that it was the eldest brother who had guaranteed her entry, and she had registered as well.
Registered as his, a Mochi Academy student’s, wife.
It was for this reason that Qing Jun could co to find him without any obstacles this ti.
As for how she knew the way and managed to co so quickly to Mochi Academy without anyone in East Fence Small House…
Zhao Rong sighed softly, feeling that Qing Jun seed more attentive and clever than he had imagined.
He didn’t know whether it was a blessing or a curse that she knew so much…
Can’t a wife be less clever?
Zhao Rong gave a wry smile.
Based on the gatekeeper’s tone just now.
Fortunately, Xiao Xiao had waited outside the gate for a while, and Qing Jun had also temporarily left Shuaixing Hall recently and was not waiting outside.
Otherwise, it would have been a face-to-face encounter!
So, the situation hadn’t reached the worst scenario yet.
Stay calm!
The more this mont required calmness.
Zhao Ziyu took a deep breath.
He composed his expression, and his gaze resud its calmness.
He scanned the main gate of the academy in the distance.
There, a thin stream of people was coming and going.
Zhao Rong turned his head and looked around.
The place where he was, the road leading to the main gate of the academy, was surrounded by many side roads leading to various directions inside the academy.
It was a central hub where many roads in this area of the academy converged.
Like many thin streams flowing from all directions, converging into a central lake.
Passersby were endless beside him.
Zhao Rong appeared nonchalant, looking forward, and slowly slowed his pace, advancing.
But in the next mont, a purple figure burst into his peripheral vision!
Zhao Rong abruptly turned his head…
