After traveling through time, I stole all over the three realms

The next morning, as the sky gradually brightened, Shen Mian was awakened by Pan Xia's call at the door. She stood up and looked into the inner room first. The bed was empty and even the quilt was neatly folded, as if no one had been there.

She opened the door and met Panxia's somewhat anxious gaze.

"Miss, why are you wearing so little? Close the door quickly or you'll catch a cold."

Pan Xia was wearing a thick square-collared long-sleeved coat. She changed her mind about the words that were about to come out of her mouth and started to care about Shen Mian's health first.

Shen Mian let her in and closed the door, saying helplessly: "It's not that easy to get sick. I, your young lady, am in good health."

Pan Xia hurriedly went to find a fox fur coat and put it on her: "No matter how healthy you are, you can't mess around. You're going on a long trip soon. If you get sick at this critical moment, how can I rest assured?"

Shen Mian gathered his cloak and asked, "What did you say outside the house just now?"

Pan Xia then remembered her purpose: "Miss, Wei An is missing. We haven't seen him since early morning, and no one has seen him go out. Is that right..."

Shen Mian patted her soothingly: "I asked him to go look for his parents. He won't be back for a while. After I leave, you will have to take care of the house."

"Ah... why so sudden?" Pan Xia couldn't tell what she was feeling. She clearly disliked Wei An in every way when he was here, but when he suddenly left, she felt a little uncomfortable.

Why did he leave as soon as the lady left?

Pan Xia suddenly raised her head, with a look of alertness on her face: "Miss, are you going to take him to the academy?"

Shen Mian knocked her and said, "You can't bring servants to Fengqi College. How can I be so capable?"

Pan Xia covered her head with her hands, said "oh" aggrievedly, and picked up the comb to comb Shen Mian's hair.

Pan Xia looked worried: "Miss, you don't know how to style your hair. What will you do when you go to the academy?"

"I will!" Shen Mian retorted, "Didn't I learn how to do a few hair buns before?"

Panxia felt even sadder when she recalled the crooked and loose bun.

"It's okay, I can just tie my hair up casually, don't worry, ah."

"If someone bullies you when you go to the academy, don't keep it to yourself. Let it out if you can. If you can't, write a letter and ask the head of the family to help you vent. Don't always keep things in your heart and tell no one..." Pan Xia kept chattering, but her hands were moving quickly.

"I know that you have been practicing hard, but you must not tire yourself out. Your health is the most important thing. Don't stay up late at night. Go to bed early. Spend some time every day going out for a walk and looking at the handsome young man. You will feel better."

Speaking of this, Pan Xia suddenly stopped and took out a stack of books as if presenting a treasure.

Shen Mian opened it with a puzzled look on his face, only to find that it contained portraits of various men, each with their own characteristics. The only thing they had in common was that they were all good-looking.

Their names, family backgrounds, and personalities were also written next to the portraits.

Shen Mian was amazed: "This is..."

"These are the portraits of famous young masters of Longyuan Country that I collected!" Pan Xia said proudly, "I took away the ugly ones, and the rest were carefully selected by me. Miss, you can take a look at the portraits when you are tired. They are pleasing to the eyes."

Although Shen Mian was fond of handsome men and beautiful women, he was also shocked by the thick stack of portraits and was speechless for a long time. Then he slowly put the portraits away: "Pan Xia..."

"Huh? Miss?"

"You did a great job, but don't give it to me in the future. Keep it for yourself..."

Although she also thought good-looking people were pleasing to the eye, collecting a bunch of other people's portraits seemed a bit strange no matter how she thought about it...

Besides, Fengqi Academy should not be short of handsome men and beautiful women. Shen Mian felt that he had met quite a few good-looking people since he traveled through time.

She touched her face again. Maybe good-looking people are attracted to each other?

Pan Xia finally tied up Shen Mian's hair. The delicate bun made the girl's face look more lively, but it couldn't cover up her lively temperament.

Pan Xia was carefully selecting hairpins for her. Shen Mian remembered something and took out the bunch that Yan Liang had given her before from the space.

Pan Xia looked at the dazzling array of jewelry on the table and exclaimed, "Miss, when did you buy them?"

"Someone gave it to me." Shen Mian said, "Pick one from here."

"This one looks good... this one looks good too..." Pan Xia seemed even more conflicted, "That person has such a good eye, I can't choose any more."

Shen Mian picked up a crabapple flower hairpin and a velvet flower hairpin and put the rest away to save Pan Xia from worrying.

She originally wanted to let Panxia pick out something she liked, but then she thought that since this was a gift from Yan Liang to her, it would not be appropriate to just give it to someone else. It would be better for her to buy it herself and then give it to Panxia.

After changing her clothes, she suddenly felt that the fox fur coat looked familiar: "Where did this come from?"

Pan Xia looked puzzled: "This has always been in the young lady's room?"

Shen Mian stared at it again and then remembered that this was the cloak that Yan Liang handed to her when they were in Qixia Mountain.

I don’t know if he still wants it. I’ll give it back to him next time when I have time.

Shen Mian put the cloak into the space, and went to find Chen Xing with Pan Xia first.

Just like Pan Xia, Chen Xing also talked to her about many things that she should pay attention to and told her to take care of herself. Shen Mian listened patiently and responded from time to time.

After Chen Xing finished speaking, he took a sip of tea to moisten his throat and took out a few pieces of paper: "This is the homework I assigned to you. Remember to return it on time."

Shen Mian took it and looked at it. The densely packed words on the paper gave her a headache.

"These are books on medicine. They contain my own insights. There are also a few rare copies. Please enjoy them." Chen Xing handed over a pile of books.

"This is for alchemy." Another pile of books.

"This is for refining poison. Medicine and poison are inseparable. It can also be used for self-defense."

Shen Mian looked at the table of scholars with no emotion: "Uncle Chen, I'm just going to the academy to study, not that I won't be back."

"I didn't ask you to finish it all at once." Chen Xing sat calmly, "Watch it slowly. I'll check what you've read when I come back."

Shen Mian gritted his teeth and said, "Yes."

"And one more thing."

"There's more!" Shen Mian exclaimed, then covered his mouth again.

Chen Xing glanced at her with amusement, and said in a gentle but serious tone: "I always hope that you can be better, stronger, and have more advanced alchemy skills. Sometimes when I see you so tired, I think it would be better for you to live an ordinary life like this. Mianmian, if you want to become stronger, then try your best. If you don't want to, you can always come back. No one can't stop you from giving up. I just want you to be happy."

Shen Mian listened quietly, her nose feeling a little sour. She didn't have anyone she cared about before, and never thought that parting was a sad thing. Only today did she realize the weight of these two words.

"But..." Chen Xing changed the subject, "Since you said you want to study medicine well, you must complete the homework I gave you well."

"Uncle Chen, don't worry." Shen Mian patted his chest and promised, "Next time we meet, I will definitely make you look at me with new eyes."
