The Seven Princesses' Journey Across Time

Chapter 143 Young Man on White Horse Drunk in Spring Breeze 56

After finishing, Mo Luyi gently folded the letter, placed it in an envelope, and handed it to Zhao Yuzhen, instructing her, "Take this letter, go to Prince Jingyu's mansion, and give it to the young teacher Xiao Ruofeng from the academy."

Zhao Yuzhen accepted the letter with great joy. This was his first time going out alone, and he was inevitably filled with excitement and anticipation. He clutched the letter tightly in his hand, waved goodbye to Mo Lvyi, and then turned and left impatiently. Watching Zhao Yuzhen's small figure gradually retreat, Mo Lvyi couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion. This child has become more and more lively and cheerful lately.

However, considering that this was Zhao Yuzhen's first time out of Wangcheng Mountain and he was alone, Mo Luyi felt somewhat uneasy. So, she secretly cast a spell, quietly leaving a special mark on Zhao Yuzhen's body. This way, if he encountered any danger or unexpected events along the way, she would be able to detect it immediately and rush to his aid.

Zhao Yuzhen arrived at Prince Jingyu's mansion. Seeing the unique attire and insignia of a Wangcheng Mountain disciple, the guards at the gate didn't dare to neglect him. Knowing he was looking for the Ninth Prince, they hurried in to report. Upon receiving a reply, they respectfully welcomed him into the mansion and led him through the numerous courtyards and pavilions until they finally arrived at Xiao Ruofeng's location.

At this moment, Xiao Ruofeng was sitting in his study, carefully studying an ancient book. Hearing approaching footsteps, he looked up and his gaze fell on Zhao Yuzhen as she entered. Though still young, the person before him exuded an innate aura and intelligence that caught his eye. Especially her eyes, bright as stars, revealed a depth and wisdom far beyond her peers.

Xiao Ruofeng put down the scroll in his hand, stood up, and said gently with a smile, "My dear friend, may I know why you are visiting me today?"

Zhao Yuzhen didn't say anything more. He walked forward and handed a letter to Xiao Ruofeng, saying crisply, "This is the letter that Junior Master-Uncle asked me to give you."

Xiao Ruofeng was slightly startled, thinking to himself: Someone Zhao Yuzhen calls "Junior Master" must be quite extraordinary. But he'd never heard of Master Lu Suzhen having a junior disciple! But there was no time for further thought. He reached for the letter, gently opening it with a touch of curiosity. However, when he saw the contents, the relaxed smile on his face instantly vanished, replaced by a solemn expression.

He knew this matter was of grave importance and that he must discuss a countermeasure with his master, Li Changsheng, as soon as possible. So he hastily put away the letter, turned to Zhao Yuzhen, and asked, "I need to rush to the Jixia Academy right now to discuss an important matter with my master. Would you be willing to come with me?"

Zhao Yuzhen had always been extremely curious about Mr. Li from the Jixia Academy. When Xiao Ruofeng suggested that they go together, he agreed without hesitation, without a second thought.

Along the way, the breeze caressed their faces, and the sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves onto the ground, creating patches of mottled light and shadow.

In the carriage, Xiao Ruofeng sipped tea, occasionally looking up at the young prodigy across from him—Zhao Yuzhen, who was only ten years old but already showed extraordinary talent. Somehow, he suddenly remembered the junior master Zhao Yuzhen had mentioned earlier, and his curiosity grew stronger.

Finally, Xiao Ruofeng, unable to suppress his inner doubts, asked, "I've never heard that Sect Master Lu Suzhen has a junior disciple before. I wonder who this junior uncle of yours is?"

Hearing this, Zhao Yuzhen swallowed the cake in his mouth, raised his head slightly, and a look of admiration flashed in his eyes. Then, after thinking seriously for a moment, he replied, "My junior uncle, Master said that she is the most powerful person in our Wangcheng Mountain! Her Taoism is so profound that few in the world can match her."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ruofeng's curiosity was instantly piqued. What kind of exceptional talent could garner such praise from a walking immortal like Lu Suzhen? Filled with anticipation and questions, the two continued their casual chat, and before they knew it, the Jixia Academy was within reach.

After entering the school gate, Xiao Ruofeng led Zhao Yuzhen straight to the inner hall with familiarity. After passing through several corridors and around several courtyards, an elegantly decorated room came into view. Inside, a man sat leisurely at a table, holding a wine glass and drinking by himself. This man was Li Changsheng.

Li Changsheng looked up at the two people who walked in, and when his eyes fell on Zhao Yuzhen, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He had never expected that Zhao Yuzhen would actually appear in this Jixia Academy. So...

With this thought, Li Changsheng subconsciously looked behind them. However, after looking around, he did not see the familiar figure.

Then he turned to look at Zhao Yuzhen with a puzzled expression, his eyes revealing a hint of surprise, and asked, "You came here alone? Why didn't your junior master come with you?"

Xiao Ruofeng stood aside. After hearing this, a helpless look appeared on his face. He muttered to himself, "Am I really that inconspicuous? Master can't even see me standing here like this!"

However, seeing his master intently questioning Zhao Yuzhen, he couldn't get angry and simply shook his head. At the same time, he grew increasingly curious about the "young master" Zhao Yuzhen had mentioned. He wondered what kind of person he was. And it seemed his master knew him, and they seemed to have a good relationship. But now was clearly not the time to dwell on this.

Zhao Yuzhen scratched his head and answered embarrassedly, "Mo Yan is still sleeping, so Junior Master has to stay and wait for Mo Yan." After saying that, he sighed softly.

When Li Changsheng heard this, his originally expectant mood instantly became depressed. He frowned slightly, and a hint of imperceptible disappointment flashed in his eyes.

Xiao Ruofeng had been silently observing the two's reactions. Seeing that the atmosphere was becoming a little dull, he quickly stepped forward and handed the letter he was holding tightly in his hand to Li Changsheng. He suddenly said, "Master, this is a letter written by Yu Zhen's junior uncle."

When Li Changsheng heard that it was a letter from Mo Luyi, he immediately took it.

Li Changsheng opened the envelope and read it carefully. The words in the letter were elegant and graceful, like a fairy dancing, but the things expressed between the lines could not help but make people pay attention.
