After spending some time together, the Cai sisters and Xuanyunduo now have a pretty good relationship with Gu Yunzhou. Just now, when they saw Gu Yunzhou's servant Xing Xing hurriedly calling Gu Yunzhou away, they were now asking about him with concern.

"Thank you for your concern. It's nothing serious and has been taken care of!" It must be said that the friendship in youth is more simple and direct. Although the Cai sisters may have deliberately approached him because of his own value, Gu Yunzhou could feel their sincerity when they were together.

"By the way, next month's Autumn Festival ceremony is about to begin. I heard that the government has specially invited Xie Jiuzhou to participate this time!" Seeing that Gu Yunzhou looked relaxed and not pretending, the little fat man changed the subject and spoke excitedly.

"Really? Is it the famous Xie Jiuzhou? He is one of the people I admire the most. I must go there early that day!" Cai Yanyan happily spun in circles, her face full of joy. If she hadn't considered that she was still in the school building, she would have screamed out loud.

"Then you have a lot of people you like. Let me count them, Bai Yunuo, one of the four great masters of the Tiandu Academy in the capital, Chen Xinghe, who went in and out three times and killed the demon bear clan, and Li Changsheng, who is free and unrestrained and has the reputation of being a poet..." Cai Miaomiao joked softly.

"Oh, sister, please don't ruin my show!" Cai Yanyan stamped her feet, her excitement finally subsiding a little. She pretended to be angry and pounced on Cai Miaomiao, tickling her. The two sisters immediately burst into laughter.

They were both young and good-looking, so many students in the same dormitory stared at them in amazement.

"Not only that, Qin Wanru, who is an excellent painter and poet, and Zhang Tianshuo, a master of calligraphy, will also participate! I heard that the government has invested a lot of money to invite these people, and they want to show everyone the articles written by a semi-saint!" After laughing and joking, Xuanyunduo said mysteriously.

"Oh, I've said so much, why do you know so much? Are you kidding us?"

After calming down, Cai Yanyan looked at the fat boy with suspicion. She muttered to herself: While the Cai family might not be considered one of the major families in Jinzhou County, it was still quite influential locally. Yet, she and her sister had never heard of this news. So, how did the usually gluttonous Duoduo know about it?

"Hehe, to be honest, I'm from the Xu family in Dijing!" The little fat man looked around and found that no one was paying attention to their conversation. Then he scratched his head and said in a low voice.

"The Xu family of Imperial Capital? Is that the Xu family of Xu Bansheng?" Cai Miaomiao couldn't hide her surprise, staring at Xuanyunduo with wide eyes. Cai Yanyan had the same reaction, her almond-shaped eyes widening. The two sisters' expressions were strikingly similar, revealing a tacit understanding between the twins.

"Yes, that's my ancestor." Xuanyunduo puffed out his chest proudly, his face filled with pride. He looked like he was really proud of it.

"That's not right. Since you are from the Xu family in the Imperial Capital, why did you come to Jinzhou County to study? Jinzhou is not far from the Imperial Capital, so why would you go so far away? Besides, there are many high-level Confucian scholars in the Imperial Capital, which is not comparable to our Jinzhou County."

Cai Yanyan became even more confused after hearing this. She really couldn't understand why someone would give up such a high starting point and instead turn around to study in a lower-level place.

Xuanyunduo looked at Cai Yanyan's puzzled expression and couldn't help but sigh at her innocence and directness. He smiled and replied, "Actually, my mother is also from Jinzhou County. I came back this time to accompany her to visit my grandmother. She has been unwell for some time, so my mother brought me back to live with her for a while."

Cai Yanyan suddenly understood what was going on. She nodded, a flicker of understanding in her eyes. Then, curiously, she asked, "I heard Tiandu Academy is huge, occupying two mountains. By the way, have you met Bai Yunuo? And does Xiao Yunqi really have a crush on the Fifth Princess?"

Xuanyunduo smiled, thinking this little girl's curiosity was truly insatiable. He patiently replied, "Tiandu Academy is indeed large. It's nestled between Tiandu Peak and Yunding Peak. It has a beautiful environment and a strong academic atmosphere. As for Bai Yunuo, I've seen her a few times at the academy, but I'm not familiar with her. As for whether Xiao Yunqi is in love with the Fifth Princess, that's unknown. After all, only the parties involved know best."

Cai Yanyan listened to Duoduo's words and nodded thoughtfully, lost in deep thought. Her eyes grew brighter as she continued to ask, "So what do you think of Tiandu Academy? Are the teachers there good? Are they all strict? Are there really semi-saints teaching the students there?"

"!!!" The little fat man's face was completely confused. What the hell was going on? Why did the more he answered, the more questions he had? He felt helpless and didn't know how to respond to Cai Yanyan's series of questions.

"Yanyan, you have too many questions. If you really want to know, why don't you work hard and strive to get into Tiandu Academy? Wouldn't it be more interesting to explore all the answers yourself?"

Cai Miaomiao covered her mouth and chuckled. She gently grabbed her sister's arm and pressed her into the seat. It must be said that as a twin sister, Cai Miaomiao knew her sister's personality very well.

She knew that Cai Yanyan was very curious, but sometimes being too eager to get answers could be troubling. So, she guided Cai Yanyan in a gentle but firm way, and the two sisters' personalities complemented each other very well.

After being held down by her sister, Cai Yanyan immediately stopped asking questions. She blinked and looked at her sister, a glimmer of understanding in her eyes.

"Miaomiao, you're right. What's the point of asking others? I want to find the answer myself!" Cai Yanyan waved her fist with high morale, looking completely filled with passion.

Gu Yunzhou secretly cast an admiring glance at Cai Miaomiao, and the two exchanged a tacit smile. Although the twin sisters looked very similar, their personalities were completely different.

The elder sister, Cai Miaomiao, is gentle, thoughtful, and good at observing and analyzing problems, while the younger sister, Cai Yanyan, is lively, active, straightforward, generous, and full of energy.

This difference makes them stand out in the crowd and can be easily distinguished even by people who meet them for the first time.

"Oh, the Autumn Festival Ceremony! It would be great if I could participate. The top few can enter the Taiye Lake. Last year, a 9th-grade cultivator broke through to the 8th-grade overnight!" Cai Yanyan said excitedly, with a hint of envy in her tone.

Without asking any more questions, Cai Yanyan quickly changed the topic and mentioned the Autumn Festival Ceremony which has been gaining popularity recently.

There are many benefits to the Taiye Lake, the most obvious of which is that it can improve one's cultivation. This is very tempting for low-level rookies.
