When Ji Wuyuan heard the news, he did not react much. He just put on hold the position of Shaoqing of Dali Temple that was originally given to him. He was currently just an unknown person in Dali Temple.

It looked like a punishment, but in fact it was also a way to train his mind.

Although Lu Jinan's actions were indeed a bit shocking, it was undeniable that Lu Jinan was indeed a man of great talent.

But this was not enough for Ji Wuyuan to be so tolerant towards him.

He is cold-hearted and indifferent at heart, and even has difficulty empathizing with others, especially his closest relatives, let alone a mere subject.

Only after learning the ins and outs of the matter did he think of Jiang Wantang.

He thought, Jiang Wantang was just a six-year-old girl, how miserable and pitiful she must have been, lonely and helpless.

When this thought came to his mind, Ji Wuyuan felt an indescribable pain in his heart, and he didn't dare to think further.

He instantly felt a little empathy for Lu Jinan, which led to so many inexplicable expressions of sympathy.

Ji Wuyuan suddenly realized that he cared so much about Jiang Wantang.

He cared about her so much that he couldn't bear to see her suffer even the slightest bit of injustice. Even thinking about the injustice she might have suffered in the past made him feel extremely heartbroken.

The news that the newly crowned top scholar sold himself to a pleasure house quickly spread to every corner of the capital.

He doesn't even use any stage name. Now even three-year-old children know his name, Lu Jinan.

Such heresy is tantamount to self-destruction.

However, his behavior, which was considered absurd by the world, made Jiang Wantang look up to him, but...

Inside Changle Palace.

There was a "bang" sound...

The sound of the teacup breaking was sharp and piercing.

Jiang Wantang frowned, and Xiuzhu consciously plugged his ears with cotton.

Yun Shang went to pick up the broken porcelain on the ground with a dazed look on her face. She cut her fingers without even noticing.

She couldn't even count how many teacups she had broken today...

If it keeps breaking, they'll probably have to use bowls to drink water.

At first, everyone would step forward to dissuade them, but in the end it was of no use.

Yun Shang worked non-stop, but she would always lose focus while working...

Jiang Wantang knew that although she looked calm and indifferent, she actually still cared about Lu Jinan in her heart.

The kind that really cares about.

Yes, who hasn’t had their first love, and who hasn’t had a brilliant and unforgettable young man in their heart.

As expected, people should not meet someone too amazing when they are young, so that they will find it hard to forget him later.

Seeing Yun Shang's pair of jade-white hands stained with blood, Jiang Wantang sighed and finally walked towards Yun Shang who was squatting and picking up broken porcelain, unable to bear it any longer.

She half-knelt in front of Yun Shang, gently held her wrist, looked at the wounds of varying sizes on her hand, and said distressedly, "Yun Shang..."

"Let's not pick it up, okay?"

Yun Shang looked at her and smiled, and as she smiled, tears fell from her eyes.

Big tears fell heavily on the broken porcelain on the ground...

She had never expected that the young man, who had followed the rules of propriety all his life and was upright and elegant, would go so far as to rebel for her.

She couldn't accept him, but she couldn't really be indifferent to him either...

In the end, Jiang Wantang had no choice but to put some sleeping pills in Yun Shang's tea, making her fall asleep.

When night fell, she took advantage of the darkness to leave the palace.

Xunhuan Building, in the private room on the top floor.

The exquisite and luxurious private room is decorated in a very elegant and sophisticated style, with the best agarwood burning, which is a style completely different from the entire Xunhuan Building.

From the windows on both sides of the private room, one side overlooks the most prosperous street in the capital, while the other side offers a panoramic view of the magnificent scenery inside Xunhuan Tower.

Xie Zhiyan was wearing a black and red robe with a double-breasted front and narrow sleeves. He stood in front of the wooden window with his hands behind his back, looking at the mixed crowd downstairs, wondering what he was thinking.

The dandy young man Zhao Yi sat lazily on a nanmu chair beside him, looking as nonchalant as usual.

Xunhuan Tower has been unprecedentedly grand these days. The inside of the building is packed with people, and the three inner and three outer floors are also filled with people.

This is unprecedented since Xunhuanlou opened.

Soon it will be time for Lu Jinan to come out and play.

The people below were cheering and shouting Lu Jinan's name.

Seeing Xie Zhiyan standing there for a long time without moving, Zhao Yi walked over out of curiosity. Looking at the densely packed crowd below, he sighed, "Hey, Ah Yan, are you really going to let this Lu champion under your command do such a shameless thing?"

Xie Zhiyan raised his thick eyebrows slightly, and a disjointed smile appeared on his sharp and deep face. Without giving any face, he directly pointed out: "Don't you wish he could settle down in your building for the rest of his life?"

The two of them had been friends since childhood, and Zhao Yi had long been accustomed to his sharp tongue and did not feel embarrassed.

"Tsk..." He curled his lips and said seriously for the first time, "This Lu Zhuangyuan is really a strange man. He is a handsome man, but he sold himself to Xunhuanlou for only one ounce of silver."

"He plays the song 'Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix' here every day. I guess he's either trapped in love or hurt by love. It must have been quite traumatic..."

As he spoke, Zhao Yi casually placed a hand on Xie Zhiyan's shoulder and spoke slowly, "I just don't know which young lady has driven this number one scholar so crazy?"

Xie Zhiyan looked over, his expression a bit dull. He curled the corners of his lips, his cold and noble face looking at him with a half-smile: "Are you so free?"

"It seems that the eldest princess has neglected to discipline you again recently?"

Zhao Yi suddenly felt something was wrong.

"Busy! I'm super busy!"

"Haha... Look at how busy I've been these past few days at Xunhuanlou..."

Zhao Yi withdrew his hand from Xie Zhiyan's shoulder and clasped his hands together in a gesture of begging for mercy: "She's been annoying me to death these past few days. Please don't cause me any more trouble."

Xie Zhiyan originally wanted to scare him, and now he knows when to stop.

At this moment, Zhao Yi noticed that Xie Zhiyan's gaze suddenly stopped, and he didn't know what he saw.

Zhao Yi followed his gaze and saw nothing special except crowds of people.

He asked curiously, "Ayan, what did you see without blinking?"

Xie Zhiyan just looked downstairs, his eyes deep and fox-like, the corners of his eyes slightly raised, a hint of smile in his eyes: "Nothing, I saw it...

Zhao Yi hated it most when people left things unfinished, leaving them on suspense and making them anxious to death: "Why don't you just tell me, what did you see?"

Xie Zhiyan chuckled softly, his voice lacking much emotion, very faint and light: "A fox."

"what?!"

Zhao Yi almost suspected that there was something wrong with his ears: "When did a fox appear in my Xunhuan Tower?!"

"I don't do any animal juggling!"
