The most shocked of all was undoubtedly Nangong Ming.

This statement seems to make some sense at first glance, but how come these familiar words and phrases become so profound and difficult to understand when combined?

The schoolteacher also showed a slight look of surprise, but quickly regained his composure, nodded, and allowed the two of them to sit down.

Before leaving, he still reminded Nangong Ming and Xiao Ran to study diligently and work hard.

After the gentleman's figure disappeared into the distance, Nangong Ming was filled with confusion and couldn't help but gently poke Xiao Ran.

"You were listening to the lecture just now?"

In reality, Xiao Ran hadn't been paying attention in class, and she wasn't usually a bookworm. It was just that she had acquired this knowledge in her previous life to compete with He Wan for favor.

Xiao Ran responded softly, "Mm."

Just as Xiao Ran turned to talk to Nangong Ming, her eyes inadvertently glanced at He Wan not far away.

At that moment, He Wan's gaze was focused on this, and a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes. Then she regained her composure and, upon noticing Xiao Ran's gaze, smiled gently.

Xiao Ran sneered inwardly and turned back.

Nangong Ming was still muttering to himself, his large eyes filled with confusion and bewilderment.

"Why is it that when you're daydreaming you're actually studying, but when I'm daydreaming I can't hear anything? Do you, Xiao Ran, have some secret trick up your sleeve?"

He looked at Xiao Ran again, his face clearly showing dissatisfaction, muttering, "Don't you even know how to teach me..."

Xiao Ran's lips curled up slightly, revealing a meaningful smile, as if she was plotting something.

"Sure," she replied casually.

Upon hearing this, Nangong Ming was taken aback, never expecting Xiao Ran to agree.

"Really? Well, that's a promise. You're not allowed to ignore me."

Seeing Xiao Ran nod in agreement, he immediately perked up and began to rattle off a series of demands, such as the learning process not being too painful, not being able to make people fall asleep, and so on—all rather unreasonable demands.

Xiao Ran neither confirmed nor denied, but changed the subject.

Do you know the Moon Gazing Tower?

This sudden question caused Nangong Ming, who was in the middle of a lively conversation, to stop talking abruptly, his face full of confusion.

He glanced around warily, then lowered his voice and said, "Of course we know. Who among us scions of a prominent family wouldn't know about Wangyue Tower?"

"Do you know anyone there?" Xiao Ran pressed on.

Nangong Ming subconsciously scratched his nose, looking slightly embarrassed.

"I do know some of them... but they are all my father's people."

Xiao Ran narrowed her eyes, and her fingers began to tap the table unconsciously again.

King Yan.

In her previous life, He Wan exposed the plot of Prince Yan and the General's Mansion to rebel.

She could vouch for the General's Mansion, since given her father's character, he would never be involved in a rebellion.

But this news of a rebellion was not unfounded; He Wan must have seen something.

So... it means that King Yan was plotting a rebellion.

That makes sense. After all, the current Emperor Jingyang is the elder brother of Prince Yan. If there is any covetousness or other ambitions involved, it is impossible to know.

However, this gave Xiao Ran a good opportunity.

Seeing that Xiao Ran had fallen into a daze again, Nangong Ming couldn't help but feel a little bored, so he picked up the wolf-hair brush that was placed aside and started playing with it with great interest.

Not long after, Xiao Ran suddenly snatched the pen from his hand and began writing furiously.

After she finished writing, before the ink on the paper had completely dried, Xiao Ran gently blew on it, again and again, her expression focused and serious.

“Give this to your father, he will agree.”

Nangong Ming took the note, his face full of confusion. He frowned and looked up at Xiao Ran.

"What if Father disagrees?"

Xiao Ran's gaze was firm, and her tone was steady, just like the unyielding banana leaf outside the window.

He will definitely agree.
