Daily life in the academy

Bai Zhi had already returned to Yunlu Academy for two days of classes, and from time to time she could still hear her classmates whispering about An Ziqian.

"Hey, have you heard? An Ziqian, who had always been by Master Xue's side, turned out to be the mastermind behind the recent disappearance of a woman."

"I heard that. You can't judge a person by his appearance. He usually smiles and is very polite to everyone, but I never thought he would be such a jerk."

"But... am I the only one who thinks that An Ziqian's punishment was too harsh, and that his execution was much faster than that of other death row inmates? My cousin's husband works in the Ministry of Justice, and he's been extremely secretive about this and has avoided answering any questions."

"Since the people in the Ministry of Justice are unwilling to mention it, I guess An Ziqian must have offended some important figure."

"No more, no more. I just saw Master Xie coming over."

The conversation over there stopped and Bai Zhi also withdrew her attention.

A day ago, the Ministry of Justice announced the case of a missing woman. He illegally bought and sold innocent people, resulting in the deaths of nine women for no reason. He also bribed the court officials. He was punished for multiple crimes and was executed three days later.

Others may not know, but Bai Zhi naturally knew why he was dealt with so anxiously. However, every time she thought of An Ziqian's end, it seemed unreal. The protagonist of the original book was executed like this. She had also read some other types of novels before, in which the protagonists were all so-called sons of destiny. She didn't know whether the world would collapse because of this.

But, as far as they are concerned, the world is still running well as long as they come to Yunlu Academy to study.

Moreover, at this moment, a man named Mu was persistently pulling at the corner of Bai Zhi's clothes, trying to use the strategy of acting coquettishly to make her agree to copy the answers to the upcoming Ming Suan pop test for him.

Bai Zhi impatiently pulled back the corner of her clothes and cursed him in a low voice: "Mu Bailian, your head is full of mush. That's Master Xie. If he's discovered, it will be the end of you. Besides, can't you learn from Brother Yan? He has made great progress recently."

"But I just can't do it. I get dizzy whenever I see those questions. I don't know how Brother Yan learned it. We were all listening to you explain it. Tell me honestly, did you give Brother Yan tutoring behind my back?"

Mu Bailian felt like his brother, who was originally at the bottom of the class, was working hard behind his back, and he was discovered by him, which made him feel resentful. However, he did not dare to show off in front of the real boss, and only dared to act intimidatingly in front of Bai Zhi.

"You are stupid." Yan Qingchen killed him with one blow.

Mu Bailian covered his chest with his hands: "Brother Yan, my heart hurts so much."

Yan Qingchen hummed lightly: "I understand. I will tell General Mu later and make your skin hurt."

"It doesn't hurt anymore, Brother Yan, I'm fine." Mu Bailian immediately put down his arm and sat up straight: "Well, it's just a pop test, it's nothing."

Unfortunately, today's classes were all Xie Guan's, including Ming Suan and Ming Jing. As long as they were in his class, all the students were very well behaved, and the whole day ended with Mu Bailian's subtle sigh.

Of course, it was really torture for Bai Zhi. She would not and could not pass the imperial examinations, but Xie Guan did not think so. He took special care of Bai Zhi in class and always paid attention to her condition. Whenever she showed some doubts, Xie Guan would ask with concern: Bai Zhi, do you have any questions?

Therefore, Bai Zhi cannot be distracted at all in Xie Guan's class.

After school, Bai Zhi habitually asked Yan Qingchen: "Brother Yan, are you going back home today or staying in the dormitory?"

Yan Qingchen stood up and said, "Let's go back home. There are still some trivial matters that need to be dealt with."

"Okay, I'll go back to the dormitory first."

Yan Qingchen was about to nod when he suddenly caught sight of a familiar figure standing outside Ding Liutang. He immediately called out to Bai Zhi, "Ah Zhi, I remember you once saying that you were accidentally pushed into the water. It was Ye Yanliang who discovered that you hadn't been to school and took you to the hospital, right?"

"Um, yes, what's wrong?" Bai Zhi tilted her head in confusion.

"During this investigation, we've basically uncovered all of An Ziqian's collusion. The Ye family was once part of An Ziqian's entourage. You might as well think carefully about whether you've ever offended him before or after that. You must be careful of Ye Yanliang."

Bai Zhi's heart trembled, and she stuttered a little: "No... No way, if he was really guilty, wouldn't he have been arrested by you long ago?"

"He's just a marginal figure, he can't cause much trouble, and I really don't have any evidence against him." Yan Qingchen reminded him, "But you should still be careful and keep your distance from him."

"okay, I get it."

That day, Bai Zhi's mood was like a roller coaster, up and down. If someone else had said this, she would never have believed it, but it was Yan Qingchen who said it, and he would not lie.

Bai Zhi really couldn't believe that the first person she met here and could be called a friend had once wanted to kill her.

Maybe the last time she was arrested, it was Ye Yanliang who followed her and quietly reported the secret to An Ziqian?

She was immersed in her own thoughts. When she came back to her senses, Yan Qingchen and Mu Bailian had already left, while Ye Yanliang was waiting outside the door with a smile on his face.

Bai Zhi's body stiffened, but she soon realized that her reaction was too much, so she forced herself to relax and smiled back at him.

"Brother Bai, what were you thinking about just now? I called you several times before you came back to your senses."

"No, I'm just worried about the homework that Master Xie gave me today. You know I'm having a hard time learning the classics, and I don't know how to answer it."

"If Brother Bai is really worried, why don't you let me take a look and I can give you some advice." Ye Yanliang was very enthusiastic.

It was just a made-up excuse. Xie Guan hadn't assigned any homework today. Bai Zhi waved her hands repeatedly, "A gentleman should be quick-witted and eager to learn. I still have plenty of time tonight. I'll go back and figure it out myself. I wonder what Brother Ye wants from me today?"

Seeing his polite refusal, Ye Yanliang no longer insisted. Instead, he pulled out a purse from his chest and handed it to Bai Zhi: "This is the wages for your last job at the tavern. You suddenly left that night and never returned. You haven't even come to the academy since then. I didn't know you were back until today, so I specially sent the money to you."

"Brother Ye is so thoughtful." Bai Zhi took the purse. No one can go against money.

Ye Yanliang didn't expect him to be so straightforward. The smile on his face froze for a moment, but soon recovered. He asked tentatively, "Brother Bai, I've been worried about your safety these past few days. Now that I see you're okay, I'm relieved."

Bai Zhi's eyes gleamed, and her tone was slightly cold. "I'm not a woman, how could I be in danger? I was simply sent by the Prince to stay at Prince Ning's mansion for a few days. I've already reported this to the Headmaster and Master Xie. I just don't know why Brother Ye thinks I'm in danger."

"I'm not saying Brother Bai is in danger. I just consider him a good friend, so I'm worried." Ye Yanliang looked a little flustered. He glanced at the sky outside and said hurriedly, "It's getting late. I have to go back to the city today. I'll be leaving now."

"Brother Ye, take care."
