1956
The imperial city was huge. Aside from the regions occupied by the nobles, there were also many civilian areas. They were relatively dilapidated and messy.
For the commoner students who lived here, other than serving the nobles for their entire lives, the only way out was to enroll in the "Grand Scholars".
As long as one's performance was good enough, they would have a chance to become a noble, or at least be able to get a good job somewhere.
As Ye Fan entered this messy residential area, he felt as if he had entered a slum.Perhaps, being weak wasn't because they were afraid of being attacked by wild beasts. These people wouldn't stay in such a crowded and messy place.
After passing through a few streets, a girl dressed in night attire arrived at a large courtyard.Pushing open the wooden door with the hole in it, Qing'er walked in and took off her black veil.
Ye Fan stood in the air, and for the first time, he clearly saw the appearance of this man.This girl was indeed beautiful, with eyebrows like jade feathers, skin like white snow, and eyes like apricots.
The most important thing was that she had an unusual temperament, like the elegance of a remote mountain, which made people daydream about her. She did not have the usual gaudy atmosphere of a place with fireworks.
No wonder, to be able to mesmerize such a high and mighty, such a woman, walking on the streets, most people probably thought that she was the daughter of some noble family, who would have thought that she was a hermit?
At this moment, the door of a room opened and a handsome young man wearing black and coarse clothes walked out. He had long hair and was a handsome young man.
"Miss Gu, why are you here so late?" the young man asked.
"Big Brother Ao Han, in the past few days, I've been preparing for the Courtesan Belle selection, so I can't really walk away from it.
"Since no one is looking, I'll send some money over to you and Sister Ao Shuang." Qing'er took out a bag of money and passed it to the youth called Ao Han."Miss Gu, we really can't accept this money anymore. We've received so much money from you in the past six months, we're already very ashamed … "Take it back," Gu Han refused.
Qing'er's expression turned sorrowful. "Brother Ao Han …" "Do you find my money dirty and unclean..."
"No no, it's because Miss Gu had no other choice that she fell to the Rainbow Cloud Workshop. Besides, you're a herald, she knows about your arrogance."How could Gu Han be qualified to turn his back on Miss Gu? It's just that I really don't deserve it … " An ugly expression appeared on his face.
"Back in the Wilderness, if it wasn't for Big Brother Ao Han's family, Gu Qing would have died a long time ago. How would he have had the chance to live to this day?Big Brother Ao Han and Sister Ao Shuang were helping the elderly, the sick, the disabled, and taking care of orphans and widows. This was a great deed that Qing'er admired.
Qing'er's money was indeed not very clean, but Qing'er hoped that it would help those who needed it.
This was not something Qing'er gave to Big Brother Ao Han for free, but to help the poor, so Big Brother Ao Han need not take it too seriously … "
"Big brother, since Sister Gu already said it's like this, let's accept it."A girl with a rather delicate figure, dressed in a light blue winter dress, walked out and said with a smile.
"Shuang'er …" "Why don't you …" Ao Han looked troubled.
Gu Qing stepped forward and affectionately shook Ao Shuang's hand, "Shuang'er, have you been feeling better recently?" "The last time I saw you, the cold was quite severe."
"Alright, since I was young, I had a weak body and had many illnesses. I have long since gotten used to it. Elder sister, you don't have to worry too much …"
"But big sis you, I heard that the Courtesan Belle selection is very intense and there are many overt and covert methods. Big sis should be careful not to get hurt by some bad women." Ao Shuang said with concern.
"Don't worry. Elder sister isn't that silly girl who didn't know anything. It won't be a problem for me if it's just the Courtesan Belle selection." Gu Qing comforted gently.
"Shuang'er naturally believes in elder sister, but … …" Elder sister, you better not become a Courtesan Belle.
Otherwise, if my brother were to go and redeem you, he would have to spend a lot of money. I'm really in a hurry to call you 'sister-in-law'. "Ao Shuang blinked and said.Immediately, Gu Qing's face turned red, he lowered his head shyly and bit his lip, not daring to look at Ao Han.
"Shuang'er!" How many times have I told you? Stop joking around. How could I, an arrogant commoner, be worthy of Miss Gu?
"Moreover, I have long made up my mind that I would cultivate diligently and achieve great results in order to repay the Headmaster's kindness …"
"Aiya, big brother, you're a genius with a Profound Spirit Holy Body and the cultivation of a half-step into the end."Who in the Heaven Seeking Academy and Xuanyuan Academy can be stronger than you?
If he didn't make a debut in next year's Sacred Royal Examinations, would he still be afraid of not being able to enter the academy and become famous?
When you become a high-ranking official, won't you be worthy of Sister Gu? Or could it be that you really dislike Big Sister Gu being at the Rainbow Cloud Workshop? " Ao Shuang snorted softly.
"I... How could I possibly dislike you? " Ao Han's face flushed red as he hurriedly explained to Gu Qing, "Miss Gu, don't you dare listen to Shuang'er's nonsense!"Gu Qing shook his head and pursed his lips into a smile, "It's fine … …" Qing'er knew that Big Brother Ao Han was ambitious and would not abandon his studies because of some personal feelings between children.
Qing'er has now fallen to the side of the Rainbow Cloud Workshop, and would definitely not want to implicate Big Brother Ao Han. It would be great if we could be ordinary siblings … "
"Miss Gu, don't worry. If I, Ao Han, am able to rise to prominence and you are still in the Rainbow Cloud Workshop, I will definitely think of a way to give you back your freedom …" Ao Han said solemnly.
"With Big Brother Ao Han's words, Qing'er is satisfied." Gu Qing bowed.
Ao Shuang hurriedly said, "Sister Qing'er, you must not become the Courtesan Belle. Wait for my brother at the Rainbow Cloud Workshop! When he enters the Sacred Royal Academy next year, he'll definitely be able to bring you out! "
"Shuang'er!"
"Hee hee... I'll be going in first to feed Grandma Wang medicine. I won't disturb you all from whispering... "
Ao Shuang ran into the house, leaving Gu Qing and Ao Han outside. There was a relatively awkward silence."Miss Gu … Do you want to come in? "Although it's simple and crude inside, it's also warm." After holding it in for a while, he asked.
Gu Qing hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I still won't. If too many people find out that I'm here, it'll bring about trouble even if it gets out …"
After saying a few words of concern, Gu Qing covered his face with a veil, put on his cloak and hood, and walked out of the courtyard.
Ao Han held the money pouch in his hand and waited for the woman to leave before lowering his head to take a sniff …In the air, Ye Fan silently looked at everything, and his mind was filled with a myriad of thoughts …
Just where did this Gu Qing come from, and why had he been to the Wilderness?
Who was this young man called Ao Han? The Mysterious Sacred Body, Half-step Longevity, its strength was a level higher than the number one student in Xuanyuan Academy, Ying Mo …Since he was a commoner, he should be a student of the Grand War Institution. This commoner academy was an extremely famous figure.
However, what Ye Fan found most interesting was that this Ao Han was actually secretly hiding behind his back and smelling that girl's money bag … …
It seemed that his little sister, Ao Shuang, had a good impression of her. She didn't blame him for this. This kind of woman, most men would like her.
Ye Fan looked towards Gu Qing as he left. The woman had to travel a certain distance before she could execute her movement technique and quickly return to the Rainbow Cloud Workshop.Obviously, in front of Ao Han, she did not reveal her identity as a cultivator.
Ye Fan thought about it for a while, and felt that it would be best to not overlook it. What did these people have to do with him?Shaking his head, Ye Fan flew back to the house of the Marquis.
The next morning.
Ye Fan finished reading a medical book and planned to go to Su Qingxue's courtyard before he left for the academy. He wanted to see if the woman was awake, and if she was awake, they could eat breakfast together.
But when he arrived outside the courtyard, he instead noticed that his "Senior Brother" was actually here?
