Evil Master and Disciple

Gu Tianshi's family background is not good.

He is a typical example of someone changing his destiny by taking the imperial examination route.

At the age of 24, he won the third place in the imperial examination.

He would rather not be the third place winner.

Many of my classmates who had performed worse than me in the exams have now become high-ranking officials.

After he won the third place in the imperial examination, he entered the Hanlin Academy and was a sixth-rank official when he first entered the workplace.

As long as he serves as a Beijing official peacefully, he can at least become a third-rank official when he retires.

But this is not what he wants.

The Hanlin Academy is a place where people mainly study knowledge, and spend their entire lives buried in paperwork. It is a powerless and idle government office.

Gu Tianshi said that he was half a disciple of Master Qiu, but in fact it was nothing.

Dean Qiu has only a few disciples, so-called half-disciples, which means there are at least 8,000 of them out of 10,000.

Gu Tianshi is not yet fifty years old, he still has a chance.

With his current rank, if he were demoted, he would at least be the head of a prefecture, and be considered a high-ranking official.

It's a pity that he is poor, has no connections, and it is not easy for him to leave the Hanlin Academy and get a good job.

Gu Tianshi felt that getting to know Ye Feng was a good opportunity for him.

He knew that Dean Qiu valued Ye Feng, his disciple, very much. As long as Ye Feng said a few good words to Dean Qiu, he would surely rise to a high position.

Gu Tianshi was a smooth person, and Dean Qiu saw this in him, so he arranged for him to be responsible for picking up Ye Feng at the gate of the Hanlin Academy and taking him to the Sage Building.

In the past, an editor of the Hanlin Academy like Gu Tianshi would never be able to come into contact with someone of Ye Feng's level.

He must seize this hard-won opportunity.

After seeing Yun Shuang'er and Shen Tianqi, whom he had only heard of in rumors, Gu Tianshi was immediately stunned by their beauty.

Plus the incredibly beautiful girl who just knocked on the door.

The three women around Ye Feng can easily outshine the three thousand beauties in the harem.

Even Princess Changning, who was praised for her beauty and talent, looked like an ugly duckling in front of Yun Shuang'er and Shen Tianqi.

Yun Shuang'er frowned slightly and said, "Xiao Feng, didn't you stay in the palace last night? Why are you going there again tonight?"

Ye Feng said: "I don't want to either, but Dean Qiu doesn't agree. What can I do?"

Gu Tianshi immediately said, "Fairy, learning is like rowing against the current. If you don't move forward, you will fall behind. Master Ye has only been learning calligraphy from the headmaster for one night. He needs to study for a few more days."

Shen Tianqi said, "Okay then, Xiaofeng, come back soon."

In Shen Tianqi's opinion, instead of letting Ye Feng wander around the capital all day, getting into trouble and looking for women, it would be better to send him to school during this period of time.

Ye Feng nodded and said, "Yes, I understand. The capital has been uneasy recently, so you should be careful at night."

After a few brief instructions, Ye Feng and Gu Tianshi left the Plum Garden and arrived at the gate of the Rulin Inn.

There was a rather luxurious carriage parked in front of the door. Just as he was about to get in, he saw Hong Jiu and Qin Chuchu, who had disappeared for the whole day, walking side by side.

Seeing Ye Feng about to get in the car, Hong Jiu asked in surprise: "Old Ye, what are you doing?"

"Ah, Xiaohong! You and Sister Chuchu are back from checking into a hotel... Pah, pah, pah, you guys are back from shopping? I'm going to the Hanlin Academy to study, Xiaohong, do you want to come with me?"

Ye Feng has never been a stingy person.

Of course, you have to bring your good friends along for the foot washing and massage.

It is better to have fun alone than to have fun together.

Hong Jiu shook his head and said, "Forget it. You are studying under Dean Qiu. I, an illiterate person, will not tarnish this place of culture and elegance!"

Ye Feng said: "It is because you are illiterate that you have to follow me to the Hanlin Academy. Dean Qiu is the world's number one Confucian scholar. It will be good for you to get a taste of his Confucian spirit.

Sister Chuchu likes reading. If you don’t read, will you have any common topics to talk about together? Am I right, Sister Chuchu?

Qin Chuchu thought for a moment and said, "Ajiu, Xiaofeng is right. Dean Qiu is the greatest Confucian scholar. Not just anyone can make friends with him. It would be good for you to go and see the world."

Hong Jiu hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, Chuchu, then you go in first. I'll go with Old Ye to take a look."

Qin Chuchu nodded and walked into the Rulin Inn.

Ye Feng pulled Hong Jiu into the carriage.

The carriage had a lot of space, and even with three people sitting there it didn't feel crowded.

After the carriage started, Ye Feng said, "Let me introduce you. This is Master Gu Tianshi, whom I met in the Hanlin Academy! This is my senior brother from the Yunhai Sect, Hong Jiu."

Hong Jiu clasped his fists slightly towards Gu Tianshi.

Gu Tianshi's eyes widened as he asked, "Hong Jiu? Could it be the Burning Heaven Young Hero who has become so famous in the human world in recent months?"

Hong Jiu said: "It's just a small reputation, not worth mentioning."

Ye Feng rolled his eyes and said, "Xiaohong, you are only blessed by your third uncle, the Burning Heaven Sword God. Otherwise, with your farm skills, how could you be hailed as the Burning Heaven Sword Master?"

I get angry when I mention Hong Jiu's nickname Ye Feng.

Isn't it just about getting into the top ten in the Yunhai Sect's inner sect competition? Isn't it just about using a Burning Heaven Immortal Sword?

Those ignorant mortals actually boasted about him as the "Burning Sky Swordsman".

It is because of his psychological imbalance that Ye Feng deliberately guides public opinion to solidify his reputation as the "Thor Swordsman".

How could my reputation not be worse than Hong Jiu's?

Gu Tianshi felt that today was his highlight moment.

Not only did he meet Yun Shuang'er, but also Shen Tianqi.

He even got to know Hong Jiu, the only disciple of the Burning Heaven God of War, and wanted to take Hong Jiu and Ye Feng to visit a prostitute.

As long as he could serve these two chosen ones of the Yunhai Sect well, he felt that he could become a prime minister, not to mention a provincial governor.

After the carriage started, it left Yiningfang and went onto Zhuque Street, but did not go towards the imperial city in the north.

But head south.

Hong Jiu felt that the direction was wrong and said, "Old Ye, aren't we going to the Hanlin Academy? I think this direction is wrong."

Ye Feng chuckled and said, "Why go to the Hanlin Academy? I was there last night, and Dean Qiu told me to go tomorrow."

"Then where are we going now?"

"Of course we're going to have some fun drinking and having fun. What do you think, brother? I'm a loyal person, right? I'll always ask you to come along if there's anything good going on. But don't tell me anything when you get back!"

Hong Jiu looked confused.

He said, "No, no, no, forget it. I won't go. If Chuchu finds out, I'll be dead."

"We're all men, why are you pretending? How could I not know what you're thinking? Last time we went to Wanhua Tower, you were reluctant to leave!

Don't worry, Master Gu has made all the arrangements. We're going to a high-end entertainment venue, not the Kangle Square. As long as we don't tell anyone, those tigresses won't know. Look, I didn't even bring Sanzhier tonight!"

Hong Jiu looked at Gu Tianshi.

Gu Tianshi quickly said, "Mr. Ye is right. We are not going to a brothel, but a bookstore. We are going there to read, write poetry, and discuss knowledge. There will be no problem."

Hong Jiu touched his chin and said, "What are you waiting for? Let's go quickly. It's getting dark!"

Ye Feng laughed and said, "I knew you were a reserved guy! Master Gu, tell the driver to go faster..."
