Daily life in the academy

After bidding farewell to Doctor Hu and A-Man, the three of them continued walking towards Xiyun Tower.

Mu Bailian's leg hadn't fully healed yet, so he walked with a limp. However, his emotions always faded quickly, and he suddenly thought of something and started to laugh again. "Azhi~, how did you get to know them?"

"If you want to scream, just be normal." Bai Zhi said "Ah Zhi" without any pretense. She brushed off the goose bumps all over her body and said, "Last time, I was pushed into the water and had a high fever the next day. It was Doctor Hu who treated me."

"What? You fell into the water?"

Mu Bailian's loud voice made Bai Zhi's ears hurt. She rubbed her ears and said unhappily, "Lower your voice a little. You're going deaf."

Wenzhe asked with concern: "Then can you see clearly who pushed you?"

Bai Zhi shook her head: "I didn't see clearly. When I swam ashore, they had already disappeared from the road. It must be Zhang Yongan and his gang. They are the only ones I offended in the academy."

"That's possible." Wenzhe frowned and said solemnly, "I always feel that it's not that simple. This is unlike the style of Zhang Yongan and his gang. They are always arrogant and don't act in secret. Besides, there is only one Wei River in Sheng'an City. Most people in the city can't float. Pushing you into the water was obviously intended to kill you. It just happened that you can float, so you saved your life."

Bai Zhi originally thought that it was Zhang Yongan's gang, but after listening to Wenzhe's analysis, she felt creepy and an idea popped up in her mind uncontrollably.

Maybe it was him...

Bai Zhi's face turned pale. Mu Bailian patted her shoulder, interrupting her thoughts: "Azhi, Wenzhe likes to overthink things. If you encounter any problems in the future, just tell us. Even if I can't fight back, we can go together to ask Brother Yan to fight back."

"Bai Lian is right, Bai...Azhi, you don't have to worry too much." Wen Zhe didn't know that his words had caused such a big reaction in Bai Zhi. He was a little at a loss for a moment and could only follow Mu Bai Lian's words to comfort her.

"I'm fine." Bai Zhi returned to her usual carefree self. "Oh, I'm hungry. Let's go to Xiyun Tower and eat something delicious."

After Mu Bailian and Wenzhe's attention was diverted, Bai Zhi's face instantly fell. She didn't know what her luck was...she was being targeted by so many people at the very beginning.

Xiyun Tower

Mu Bailian and Wenzhe were regular customers of Xiyun Tower and were very familiar with the place. They quickly found a seat and ordered a table of dishes. Baizhi poured some water and placed it in front of them.

"After dinner, let's sit for a while. The float should be back soon. Let's ask the servant which room the gods' messengers are changing in and hide in it in advance." Mu Bailian picked up the teacup and drank it all.

Wenzhe was still a little hesitant: "But...what if we get discovered..."

Before he could finish, Mu Bailian interrupted, "What are you afraid of? We're all men, so what if we just take a look?"

"That's right, I'm here now."

Baizhi nodded in agreement. She was really looking forward to the strip show!

It was rare to see Bai Zhi agree with him, so Mu Bailian's smile widened. He raised his hand and patted Wenzhe on the shoulder: "Azhe, don't worry. Even if something happens, we still have Brother Yan."

"Azhe?" Wenzhe was stunned, then he remembered the second half of his sentence: "I'm afraid that if the prince doesn't come, you will be beaten by the general first."

Mu Bailian curled his lips, raised his index finger and shook it: "I'm not afraid of the old man, not to mention that you and Ah Zhi are with me today, I have someone to take the blame for me."

Wenzhe also knew that he could not persuade them, so he sighed, shook his head and shut up in one go. With a sad face, he picked up the cup of tea poured by Baizhi and sipped it carefully.

The Sun God Festival is a very important festival for everyone in Shengjing City. Today, even in an expensive restaurant like Xiyun Tower, more and more people are coming.

"Hey, have you heard? I heard that one of the actresses playing the goddess this time is the owner of Tianxiang Pavilion. She was famous for her zither playing and was also a stunning beauty. I wonder if I'll have the chance to see her today."

"Really? But how can a prostitute play the role of a goddess?"

"What do you know? I'm the Pavilion Master. How can I compare to an ordinary prostitute? Besides, I've even performed music for the Emperor."

"In that case, I must take a good look at this stunning beauty and feast my eyes."

Bai Zhi was eating while listening to the discussion at the next table. She was curious for a moment and nudged Mu Bailian next to her with her elbow.

"Do you know the Pavilion Master they are talking about?"

Mu Bailian had just picked up a piece of pork belly and was about to put it in his mouth when Bai Zhi knocked it onto the table. He just stared at the meat and ignored Bai Zhi. Before he could get angry, Wen Zhe immediately picked up another piece of pork belly and put it in his bowl: "Eat it, eat it."

Wenzhe put down his chopsticks and said, "The head of Tianxiang Pavilion is very mysterious. Ordinary people don't see her easily. Three years ago, she performed in the palace. It is said that she was praised by the emperor and the nobles in the palace, and then she became the head of this pavilion. As for other things... I don't know."

Bai Zhi nodded, and looked at Mu Bailian who was eating with resentment, as if the general's mansion didn't give him any food.

They finished their meal and had not sat for a while when they heard someone outside the restaurant shouting, "Come back, come back."

Mu Bailian signaled Wenzhe to pay the bill quickly, and he pulled a servant to ask about the room where the messengers were. The servant saw that Wenzhe was dressed richly and had a handsome appearance, and did not look like a dandy or rude person, so he pointed to a room on the second floor for them.

"That's the room. They are the honored guests of the building. You can only watch from afar and must not offend them."

"Good good."

When Bai Zhi thought about the good stuff that would come soon, she couldn't help but feel nervous and excited, and immediately felt the urge to urinate. She informed the two of them, and then found a servant to ask for the location of the toilet. She trotted over there, fearing that she would miss the opportunity.

When she came back, Mu Bailian and Wenzhe happened to be in the backyard. They got three sets of Xiyunlou work clothes from somewhere and handed one to her: "Let's go change."

"Ah? Okay." Bai Zhi thought that wearing such clothes would not attract attention when entering the room, so she took it without hesitation.

When they arrived at the lobby again, the three handsome young men had turned into three servants of Xiyun Tower. In order not to arouse suspicion, the three of them separated and went into the room on the second floor in batches.

As soon as the three of them entered, they heard noisy footsteps outside the door. They must have returned from work. Although the room was large, the only place where someone could hide was the large wooden cabinet under the bed. The three of them hid in it together in unison.

Mu Bailian happened to be in the middle, with Wenzhe on his left and Baizhi on his right, his chest and back pressed tightly against them.
