Lin Shuyun frowned after hearing this. It had been two days already, and Scarface, the one who had slipped through the net, had probably already gone far away.

She went back to the doorman's house to ask for information, since people from all walks of life were the most well-informed.

After finishing speaking, Old Xu looked at Lin Shuyun with a pitiful expression, "Girl, I want to eat meat. These people at the academy won't give me meat, and they make me drink bitter medicine every day. I don't even have the strength to get up."

It's not that exaggerated. The doctor mainly advised a light diet, since at this age, it's hard to digest.

But it wasn't like they completely cut off all meat; Dean Bai gave Old Man Xu chicken soup and meat porridge, but he dared not give him any big fish or meat.

Lin Shuyun had just used her supernatural abilities to give Old Man Xu some minor treatment. He was alright, just a little bleeding and a concussion.

He pulled two pears out of his sleeve. "The meat belongs to someone else. If they don't want you to eat it, then they don't want you to eat it. I brought you two pears when I came. Take a bite first, and then we'll go home and eat the meat."

"I knew Yun girl was thinking of me. This pear looks really delicious." Old Xu was overjoyed and took it and started eating it like a child.

The moment it entered his mouth, the thin skin was juicy, sweet, and soft, and Old Xu's eyes lit up.

Yun is so kind; she's willing to let him eat such a fine pear.

Jiang Changtian looked at the pears without saying a word. When he left, there were six pears on the table. Qin Niangzi ate two, leaving four.

Those four didn't seem to move; she's using telekinesis again.

Hearing the commotion outside, Shi Feng rushed in, glaring angrily at Lin Shuyun.

"What are you doing? He's so badly injured, how can he eat a pear?"

Pears are cooling, and at my age, how can my stomach handle eating them?

Lin Shuyun raised an eyebrow. "Hey, basket seller, you're not selling baskets anymore?"

Does this kid have a grudge against her, or did she kill his father in her past life?

Every time I see her, her nose and eyes look completely out of place.

Shi Feng retorted angrily, "What's it to you! I'm talking about pears, you can't eat pears! You can't eat pears!"

After saying that, he reached for the pear in Old Xu's hand, but Old Xu wouldn't let him take it. He bent over and started biting into both pears at the same time.

In the blink of an eye, it swallowed even the fruit pit.

Shi Feng glared at her, nearly dying of anger. He dared not curse his master, so he could only berate Lin Shuyun, "Are you sick? When you come to see a sick person, don't you know to bring something else? Giving an old man two broken pears to eat, do you have no heart at all?"

"So, what's it to you?"

Lin Shuyun looked completely calm and collected.

The young man stared intently at Old Man Xu from the very beginning, looking extremely nervous. She didn't believe there was nothing between them.

However, she doesn't like to pry into things, as long as it doesn't bother her.

"That's right, what's it to you?" Old Xu snorted, rolled out of bed, put on his shoes, and said, "Girl, I'm all ready, let's go home."

His dizziness has subsided, and after eating two pears, he feels energetic all over.

Shi Feng's eyes widened. "Weren't you feeling dizzy? You can walk now?"

Besides, the academy is our master's home!

Why does my grandmaster always run so fast with others?

It's a pity that no one paid attention to him.

Lin Shuyun asked, "Where's Xiaoqing? We should call Xiaoqing too."

Just as the three of them stepped out, Xiaoqing emerged from the next room, yawning. "I took a nap, but I heard you all. Let's go."

Xiaoqing was not injured.

After taking a couple of steps, Lin Shuyun suddenly remembered, "Right, shouldn't we thank the dean? And shouldn't we give him money for the food and lodging these past two days?"

It's not good to just leave like this.

Old Xu, with his hands tucked into his sleeves, pouted, "Isn't Jiang Changtian the top scholar? He's brought honor to the academy. Should we, as family members, give him money? I don't think we need to."

Bai Heng wouldn't even give him meat, how could he have the nerve to take his money?

Jiang Changtian said, "I should thank the dean, both out of courtesy and reason."

Lin Shuyun took out ten taels of silver from her bosom and handed it to him, "Alright, go thank him, we'll wait for you at the main gate!"

"Are you even listening to me?!"

Enraged, Shi Feng blocked the three of them and roared, "Don't leave! The doctor is still writing the prescription! I said you're not allowed to leave!"

He's said it several times already, but these people are like they're deaf; it's infuriating.

"My brother-in-law just grabbed the prescription, move aside a bit." Xiaoqing yawned again.

I can't sleep at night in this new place, and I feel sleepy during the day.

And then that annoying person recognized me. So irritating.

"Your illness... your injury hasn't healed yet, the doctor hasn't examined you properly, you can't leave. Let me ask the hospital director first." Shi Feng stopped Old Man Xu.

What a joke! Our grandmaster has finally returned to the academy; how could he let anyone leave?

What if this happens again after we leave?

This time, I was lucky to escape with my life.

"Hmph, Grandpa's perfectly healthy, it's none of your business. If you keep babbling on and on, believe me, I'll feed you a mouthful of mud." As he spoke, Old Xu grabbed a handful of mud from the ground.

The academy has many trees, all of which were transplanted, so they are watered frequently and it's easy to grab a handful of mud.

"division……"

As soon as Shi Feng opened his mouth, Old Man Xu smeared the mud in his hand onto his mouth.

Spitting out the mud in his mouth, Shi Feng burst into tears.

They say a man doesn't easily shed tears, but this time he really cried.

This is absolutely outrageous! This is absolutely outrageous!

Unexpectedly, the young man actually cried. After doing his bad deed, Old Man Xu grabbed Lin Shuyun and Xiaoqing and ran away.

He was so agile; he didn't look like an elderly person in their seventies or eighties who had just been injured.

"Lao Zhang, what do you think?"

In the corridor not far away.

Dean Zhang and Dean Bai were standing together, taking in the whole scene.

Dean Bai looked at Shi Feng, that unlucky kid, and couldn't help but slap his forehead.

Even he couldn't stop him, so why is this unlucky kid trying to stop him?

Dr. Zhang stroked his beard. "That's good too. It might be beneficial for the old man's recovery. It's better to let nature take its course."

When he was taking the emperor's pulse just now, the tumor in the emperor's brain had actually disappeared.

It horrified him.

He suspected that he had made a mistake in diagnosis, or that he had made a mistake in the previous diagnosis and that there was no tumor at all.

After the storm, Director Zhang ultimately chose to keep it a secret, only saying that the old man was much healthier than before.

This greatly excited Dean Bai.

Dean Bai sighed, "Letting nature take its course is good, but we really can't guarantee his safety!"

He was almost scared to death this time! If the Emperor Emeritus had died at the hands of some local ruffian, his entire family would have gladly joined him in the underworld.

According to the three men who were caught, someone gave Scarface a sum of money, which is why he went to the restaurant specifically to cause trouble.

As far as he knew, Jiang Changtian also had a deadly feud with the local tyrant Guo family.

"Send a message to the higher-ups, and find a way to get the Shadow from his side to come over."

A cat with a scar on its face jumped over the courtyard wall with a sparrow in its mouth. When Zhang Yuanshou saw this, he felt his stomach growling with hunger.
