Gu Jiao and Lady Nan were halfway back when they ran into Master Lu who had also been searching.
Seeing Lady Nan being supported by Gu Jiao, with blood stains on her veil, Master Lu's heart skipped a beat, "Ah Xiang, what happened to you?"
Nan Xiang gave him a sidelong glance, "Don't make such a fuss, scaring yourself into a fit when there's nothing wrong."
Master Lu said in a panic, "How can there be nothing wrong? You’ve coughed up blood! Just what on earth happened? If you won't say, then let JiaoJiao tell !"
Gu Jiao looked at Lady Nan.
Lady Nan let out a sigh, "Alright, alright, don't make things difficult for the child. I ran into Qi Xuan."
Master Lu was taken aback, "Which Qi Xuan? Your forr senior brother?"
Lady Nan replied, "Yes, that’s him."
Master Lu was astonished, "He ca to Shengdu? Isn't it against Tang Sect rules for their disciples to leave the Tang Sect’s premises freely?"
Lady Nan said, "His appearance does indeed go against the Tang Sect rules, but that’s his affair with the Tang Sect and has nothing to do with ."
Master Lu asked, "He didn’t co to take you back, did he?"
Lady Nan shook her head slightly, "No, he ca to interrogate about the forbidden technique. Just now, he could have continued to fight with JiaoJiao, but he didn't. I guess he has sothing more important on his hands, so he couldn't stay and waste ti with us. For now, he probably won't co back."
Master Lu looked doubtful, "You understand him that well?"
Lady Nan smiled bitterly, "After all, we've been senior and junior brother and sister for many years. I know him at least this much. Don't worry, let's just go back."
The three of them returned to the residence.
After taking so pills to treat her internal injuries, Lady Nan went back to her room to rest.
Gu Jiao also returned to her own room.
Lying on her bed, she recalled the situation when she fought with Qi Xuan earlier.
She could sense that Qi Xuan was a martial expert through and through, and a type she had never encountered before.
First, there was the beautiful monk, then the troubleso pompous guy who dared to ambush the beautiful monk, and now there was Qi Xuan. Things were getting increasingly lively indeed.
"This trip to the State of Yan is truly not simple."
"Big sis, are you asleep?"
Gu Xiaoshun's voice ca from outside the door.
Gu Jiao sat up, pulled aside the bed curtains, and said, "Co in."
Gu Xiaoshun opened the door and ca to the side of Gu Jiao's bed, handing her an object.
Gu Jiao took it and looked at it. It was a wooden ball about the size of a baby's fist, "This is…"
"A chanism ball, for you to protect yourself." Gu Xiaoshun explained, scratching his head and grinning, "Master taught how to make this chanism, and I made so improvents. It's used similarly to your black gunpowder balls. Just throw it out, and when the ball bounces, the chanism will be triggered, and poison needles will shoot out from every hole."
Gu Jiao examined the ball and said, "This ball is covered in holes, providing 360 degrees of attack with no blind spots."
Gu Xiaoshun: Although I didn’t understand everything big sis said, it seed like she was praising .
Gu Xiaoshun then opened his other hand and took out a small ball cover, "Just in case, if you accidentally drop it and hurt yourself, cover it with this, and you’ll be fine."
Gu Jiao curved her lips into a smile and said sincerely, "Xiaoshun is really impressive."
Gu Xiaoshun blushed from the praise, "This is just a basic chanism ball. Sister, you can use it for now. When I make a better one, I'll bring it to you."
Gu Jiao: "Alright."
……
The next day, after taking leave for several days, Gu Jiao finally went to the academy for class.
As soon as she walked into the classroom, a bunch of people gathered around her.
Zhou Tong and Zhong Ding squeezed to the front.
The two of them asked in unison, "Liulang, are you alright now?"
Gu Jiao still wasn't very used to being surrounded like this, but seeing all those concerned little eyes, she didn't end up pushing them away.
She said, "I'm fine now, fully recovered."
Zhong Ding added, "Gu Xiaoshun said you were very ill, bedridden for several days. We were all scared and wanted to visit you, but he said you had asles, which is contagious, so we’d better not go."
Gu Xiaoshun had experienced asles himself, so he didn’t forget to use his own experience to help Gu Jiao lie.
Zhou Tong, still uneasy, said, "asles is very dangerous. It’s really fortunate you were able to get through it."
Gu Jiao replied, "It was manageable."
Mu Qingchen didn’t co today, but Mu Chuan, Yuan Xiao, and Zhao Wei, upon hearing that Gu Jiao was attending class, quickly hurried over from their own classrooms.
Class hadn’t started yet.
The three of them sneaked in through the back door of the classroom.
"Mind if I take this seat, brother?" Yuan Xiao said to Zhou Tong, who was sitting in front of Gu Jiao.
"Oh, oh." Zhou Tong didn’t dare to offend the mbers of the polo team and quickly moved aside.
Zhao Wei stared at the student next to Zhou Tong, saying, "We still need another seat, brother."
That person also hurriedly left, clutching his book bag.
The two of them sat in the row in front of Gu Jiao, turning around to stare directly at her, while Mu Chuan took the seat on Gu Jiao's left, which originally was Mu Qingchen's seat.
Three people, six eyes, all focused intently on Gu Jiao.
Gu Jiao closed the book she had been reading halfway through and said, "What’s the matter? You’re staring like I’m a monkey on display."
"You’ve lost weight." Mu Chuan comnted.
"Mm." Gu Jiao responded indifferently.
Mu Chuan quietly asked, "Did you really have asles?"
Gu Jiao replied seriously, "Yes."
Mu Chuan suddenly reached out and touched Gu Jiao’s forehead, then touched his own, "You’re not feverish anymore. You recovered pretty fast. My fourth brother had asles when he was a kid, and he was sick for more than ten days."
Gu Jiao said without changing her expression, "I recover quickly."
The three exchanged a look.
Zhao Wei looked at Yuan Xiao, "You say it."
Yuan Xiao looked at Zhao Wei, "You say it."
Mu Chuan raised his hand, "Alright, stop arguing, I’ll say it."
Zhao Wei and Yuan Xiao: "…"
We weren’t arguing!
Gu Jiao looked at the three of them curiously.

PLEASE CHECK OUT OUR NEW PROJECT:
Description:
In the suspenseful supernatural novel “Records of Mortals,” Jiang Baiyan, once a solitary and impoverished youth, finds refuge in the Shi family of Chang’an due to his extraordinary bloodline. With his clear and captivating peach blossom eyes, this seemingly innocent young man conceals a fanatical and malevolent lunatic within. Destined to succumb to darkness amidst hardship and degradation, he becos a harbinger of chaos.
When Shi Dai suddenly transmigrates, she takes on the role of the Shi family’s young lady, the one who subjects him to countless trials, eventually leading to her demise.
The twist? She never got to finish reading the novel.
From what she knew of the plot, Jiang Baiyan was just a silent, timid, and often bullied pitiable character.
***
Jiang Baiyan had never encountered soone like Shi Dai.
After he had slaughtered all the evil creatures in the garden, the blood-stained young man, exuding a murderous aura, approached her step by step, his lips curling into a malicious smile, "Scared?"
Shi Dai responded, “You’re really amazing! I applaud you until I spin like a spiral and fly around the moon three hundred tis! And also——you have dimples when you smile!"
Jiang Baiyan: ...?
—
After seeing her at a lantern festival with another man, Jiang Baiyan lowered his eyes, his fingers twirling her hair. He said in a mocking and sinister tone, "The mansion in the western suburbs...if I hide you there, no one will find you, right?"
Shi Dai replied, "Does it co with als and lodging? Can I sleep in everyday? Oh, and your cooking is the best!"
Jiang Baiyan: ...?
—
Jiang Baiyan was supposed to dislike her, even hate her, but as their separation drew near, his eyes turned red and he grabbed her sleeve, pleading, "Don't abandon , alri—”
Shi Dai responded, "Alright, alright, I’ll only have you. Mwah."
Jiang Baiyan: ...?
He hasn't finished his lines yet though…
