The students all looked over, and Gu Mingyan had already followed Xu Chang out, "Mr. Xu, why is Mister giving you face?"

"Because this academy was opened by my father back then. Even though the academy principal is not me right now, anyone will give me some face."

Xu Chang smiled faintly, and said that he did not like to bother with the academy's many matters. But if it really came down to it, he could also act as the Principal, and it was likely that Tan Jingchen's father would have to give him some face when he saw Xu Chang.

Gu Mingyan nodded, rubbing his head, he did not think that his luck was not bad.

As she followed Xu Chang all the way to the library, the door opened, and the smell of books assaulted her senses. Gu Mingyan immediately threw herself in, her gaze sweeping the books one by one, and discovered that there were many books that she had never heard of before.

Xu Chang stood outside the door, thinking that she would ask about what happened yesterday, but instead she asked: "How do I organize this?"

"There's no need to tidy up. I'm just finding a reason to bring you out." Xu Chang waved his hand and looked at her: "Your medical skills are extraordinary, but if you go and study those, they are actually a waste of your talent. You can look through these books as you wish."

"Mr. Xu is not only handsome, but also kind-hearted."

With a sweet and praising mouth, Gu Mingyan walked up to him and stuffed a small medicinal bag into Xu Chang's hands: "These are all made from dregs, but the taste is light and it is extremely similar to the taste of the bamboo in Mister's courtyard. They are considered small gifts."

Xu Chang was helpless, seeing the girl's appreciative look, but she did not have any love for him, the old man, and decided to keep her.

Gu Mingyan dived into the library and brought out two books, then went to take some charcoal to place in the water pavilion. He wanted to warm up a little, but he didn't dare to light a charcoal brazier in the library, so he didn't act like a young miss at all.

Xu Chang frowned. She was a dignified great miss Prime Minister's Mansion, even if she came from the countryside, it would not be impossible for her to not have someone helping her.

However, what he was even more suspicious of was that she did not seem to have the heart to inquire about other people's information. As she did not say anything about what happened yesterday, she actually received twenty palm strikes and could only helplessly smile.

It seemed that this academy only had martial arts, so it was time for it to have a place to study medicine.

In his opinion, this Gu Mingyan was a good seedling.

Once again she escaped.

Gu Ziyan stood alone under the roof with a light green cloak draped over his shoulders. Most of the students in the courtyard were already wearing winter clothes.

Only Gu Mingyan did not.

She had always hated her elder sister, but no matter what she and her mother did, her father had never said that he would kill her. Even though she was loved by her father, she was not a part of his bloodline.

And Gu Mingyan's return, was even able to break the old balance of being a filial son.

Not only that, Gu Mingyan viewed her as nothing again and again, neither fighting nor snatching. Instead, he made it so that no one could clearly see exactly why she had come. Even with the help of a noble, he did not look like a bane star at all.

Secretly lost in thought, Gu Ziyan's gaze landed on the figure of Fang Huai who was walking over from a short distance away with the support of the hearts of the crowd.

Since the last time Gu Mingyan had wet his pants, Fang Huai had always kept this in mind. Today, he must have come to this place in order to reap some benefits from Gu Mingyan, so he could not let himself be laughed at, but he must also let Gu Mingyan teach him a lesson.

Gu Ziyan dodged a little and hid around the corner, then heard the servant next to Fang Huai say softly: "I have already investigated thoroughly, then Gu Mingyan has been living in the library for the past few days. No matter what, we will help young master vent his anger this time."

"It's fine as long as you don't hit your face. Otherwise, the Prime Minister wouldn't be able to take it if he comes looking for us."

Fang Huai laughed coldly, and his face was filled with resentment.

Gu Ziyan gave a shallow smile and only went to find his own teacher, hoping that he wouldn't look at Gu Mingyan for the time being, so as to not spoil Fang Huai's plan.

When Fang Huai and his men arrived, Gu Mingyan was holding onto a book as he walked out of the library.

Looking into the distance, he discovered that all the manuscripts he had written today had fallen into the charcoal brazier.

The flames rose up, leaving only the black ashes within the small pavilion.

"Gu Mingyan, you made me feel so embarrassed the last time. Today, this young master will let you have a taste of the same taste."

Fang Huai sneered, and scattered the last few manuscripts in all directions. A cold wind blew in all directions, and many manuscripts landed on the surface of the lake along with the wind. Those black stains disappeared without a trace.

As the snow fluttered in the air, snow also fell on Gu Mingyan's body. Only the book in his arms was hidden extremely well.

As he slowly walked forward, he was encircled in the middle by the square locust stick, while the square locust stick lazily leaned against the pillar.

"The Prime Minister has never even prepared Dong Yi from the academy for you. There is no one by your side to wait upon you, so I don't know what sort of young lady you are."

Clenching his fingers, Gu Mingyan let out a light sigh.

"Are you satisfied with repeatedly provoking me?"

Her peach blossom eyes were as calm as water, and her face was expressionless. The snow fell on her face, but it did not waver in the slightest.

However, he was wearing a white robe and his build was skinny.

She calmly took a step forward, and the stick on her shoulder began to hurt.

At this moment, she only let out a grunt, and the servant that made a move unconsciously took a step back when he saw the pair of indifferent eyes. On the other hand, the servant looked towards Fang Huai, waiting for the command.

"As long as you kneel down and apologize to me, you do not need to eat this rod."

Fang Huai walked up. Seeing her thin and weak appearance, he said coldly, "With this small body, I'm afraid if I ate a few sticks, I would have to lie down for half a month. It's just a pity for this face."

The fingertip reached over, as if wanting to hook onto her chin.

"Have you ever heard of the story of the witch seducing people and eating people again?"

That calm face was suddenly broken by a slight smile, and when she slightly leaned forward and saw that suddenly frightened face of Fang Huai in front of her, she only slightly leaned to the side.

"Coincidentally, this little girl also has the nickname of 'Demoness'."

Gu Mingyan's voice was just inches away, and before Fang Huai could even feel anything, he felt a warm liquid slide into his mouth.

The phoenix feathers on his wrist released a faint golden light, and the servant beside him felt the wind suddenly become pungent, as though his chest was collapsing. However, Gu Mingyan merely raised his hand to grab onto Fang Huai's neck, and barely lifted him up.

Seeing that his eyes were unfocused, Gu Mingyan just pricked his hand, causing the blood to fall on the side of his lips.

"My shoulder is hurting a lot, do you know?"

As he lightly said that, Gu Mingyan didn't have the strength to let go of his hand.

He then wiped the blood on his handkerchief and threw the handkerchief to the side of Fang Huai.

"Oweh--" Fang Huai clutched his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Gu Mingyan let out a soft sigh, returned to the small pavilion with the books in his arms, and looked at the numerous ashes in the charcoal pot with a heartache.

With a gloomy expression, he quietly arranged the remaining white paper and started writing again.

All she wanted was peace. Why was it so hard?
