Chu Lu couldn't understand why Qin Bi didn't rush to Yangye after dealing with the miscellaneous soldiers. Instead, he came to this academy in the wilderness. He didn't think he had any interest in going out for a spring outing. Besides, it was already summer. What was the point of going out for a spring outing?

Su Qingzhi seemed to want to take a detour and go over to listen to the excitement, but he was taken by his friend in the shortest straight direction to the school, and his face was full of regret for a moment.

Just as he was thinking this, he saw the three people talking coming towards them.

Su Qingzhi suddenly became happy and pulled Chu Lu's sleeve with his backhand: "Brother Yan, Brother Yan, go slower."

On the other side, Li Bojin noticed Chu Lu's intention to leave this place quickly. Although he didn't know the reason, he thought that the younger Yan brother was more reliable than Su Qingzhi, so he immediately chose his side.

He urged Su Qingzhi several times and said, "Today is Qiu Zi's class..."

Sure enough, when it comes to understanding friends, Li Bojin knows better. Upon hearing this, Su Qingzhi immediately screamed and jumped from the back to the front, trying to pull the two of them to run.

Chu Lu: "..."

Although I know Li Bojin wants to help, doesn't this make it more conspicuous?

He could even vaguely sense the gazes of the three people over there.

Chu Lu tilted his head slightly, using this action as if he was talking to Li Bojin next to him, to cover half of his face so as to avoid being recognized by Qin Bi.

Li Bojin was much more perceptive than Su Qingzhi. He realized Chu Lu's intention almost immediately, turned around and pretended to talk to him, while lowering his voice and asking, "Are you hiding from people?"

Although they are of the same age, Li Bojin is much more reliable than Su Qingzhi.

Chu Lu nodded imperceptibly and winked at him gently, indicating that he didn't need to be so nervous.

To recognize a person, you can always rely on face, figure, temperament or behavioral habits.

Although Chu Lu looked almost exactly like Prime Minister Huo back then because his face was not covered, the boy's figure was completely different from before. As for other habits, such as temperament and walking posture, it was easy for the staff of the Space-Time Bureau to change them.

This is also why Chu Lu did not seem too nervous even though he was in the same space with Qin Bi.

As long as he didn't see his face head-on, it was easy to avoid him, and thanks to Su Qingzhi's unreasonable behavior this morning, he had to go back and change his clothes. Therefore, his current attire was not much different from that of the students next to him, so the possibility of being recognized was even smaller.

Noticing that Li Bojin wanted to look over there, Chu Lu shook his head gently and whispered, "Don't look."

After all, he was someone who had fought on the battlefield before, so Qin Bi was extremely sensitive to sight. If Li Bojin looked over at this moment, he would have noticed it even if he didn't notice it at first.

Although Li Bojin didn't know the inside story, he restrained himself and looked away.

He thought of the three people he saw when he glanced over just now, the president of the academy, Prefect Liu, and a young man with an imposing aura whom he had never seen before.

Obviously, he couldn't be hiding from the headmaster. After all, Chu Lu had seen him several times in the past few days, and he was attending the academy as an auditor, in fact, he had the headmaster's tacit approval. And the possibility of Liu Zhifu was not high either, and Chu Lu had never seen any special attitude towards Liu Changting, but the young man he met for the first time...

Li Bojin would not mistake him for a "guard" like Su Qingzhi did.

Even from the quick glance at the beginning, it could be seen that between him and Prefect Liu, the young man was clearly the superior one. The other person's aura was so strong that even his age was blurred. It was obvious that he was a person who had been in a high position for a long time.

When did so many strange people appear in this small place of Kuangxi?

A bit like the two people I met in the back alley of the teahouse that day... No, more...

"Hey, you two! What are you whispering about behind my back?"

Before Li Bojin could finish his thoughts, he was startled by a sudden voice from behind him.

It turned out that Su Qingzhi, who had run in front, turned back at some point. At this moment, he hooked one person's shoulder with one arm, forced his head between the two of them, and spoke in a huff.

Li Bojin was startled and almost elbowed him subconsciously, but fortunately Chu Lu noticed and stopped him in advance, otherwise, if there was any noise since they were so close, Qin Bi would definitely look over here.

Completely unaware that he was almost beaten, Su Qingzhi tightened his grip around Li Bojin's arm and leaned his head towards him, gnashing his teeth and saying, "Qiu Zi clearly just came down the mountain yesterday, how could he be back so early? You must have lied to me just now!"

Su Qingzhi was used to being noisy on weekdays, and now he was outside, so he didn't mean to lower his voice at all, and even raised it a little to show that he was justified. Compared with Chu Lu, the person involved, Li Bojin was obviously more nervous. If Chu Lu hadn't soothed him with his eyes, he would have almost lost control of looking back.

Su Qingzhi, who didn't get an answer, tightened his arm again and said, "Hmm?"

Noticing the gazes of his classmates, Li Bojin cursed Su Qingzhi in his heart for being the center of attention wherever he went. However, he could only grit his teeth and said, "I must have remembered it wrong... Sorry."

Su Qingzhi, who was always particularly sharp in places where he shouldn't be sharp, loosened his arm slightly on Chu Lu, moved closer to Li Bojin, stared at him for a long time, and said, "There's something wrong with you."

Li Bojin: “…”

This idiot!!

He almost told Chu Lu to go first. It was impossible not to attract attention if he stood with such an idiot, right? !

Su Qingzhi, who had no sense of being disliked, was still pestering Li Bojin to ask him what happened today. Li Bojin was so annoyed by the noise that he almost forgot about Chu Lu hiding from people until a voice came from behind -

"stop!"

Li Bojin's body tensed up and he froze completely. He subconsciously turned his head to look at Chu Lu.

Just when he almost couldn't help but pull Chu Lu up and run, he heard a hesitant voice not far in front of him, "Dad——"

A little fat boy cautiously leaned out from behind his companions, looking frustrated. He raised his head and forced a smile, "You... why are you here in the academy?"

Li Bojin was a little slow to realize that the previous voice was from Prefect Liu, and he heaved a sigh of relief.

Chu Lu sighed in his heart: No matter how thoughtful and capable he is in his daily life, he is still a young man... He shows it so obviously, as if he is afraid that others won't notice that something is wrong.

Even though I didn't doubt it at the beginning, I feel something is wrong now.

Qin Bi's gaze indeed fell on Li Bojin for a moment. The slightly suspicious look made Li Bojin break out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, the other party quickly looked away.

…

The sound of Magistrate Liu pulling his son to introduce him to Qin Bi faded away, and they finally escaped the sight of the three men.

…

…………

By noon, Li Bojin finally found an opportunity to bypass Su Qingzhi and find Chu Lu alone.

"Who is that?" He hesitated and asked the question, then immediately changed his words, "No, forget it... If it's difficult, there's no need to explain."

He looked straight at Chu Lu and said solemnly, "Are you going down the mountain? If it's inconvenient for you to pack your luggage, I can go back and help you pack it... As for Qingzhi, I will help you explain it then."

Chu Lu looked at the young man with some surprise. He didn't expect that the other party would show such obvious bias.

Even if Li Bojin didn't know Qin Bi's identity, he was still someone who could make Prefect Liu treat him with respect. With his eyesight, he would not fail to see that the other party had an extraordinary background. As for Chu Lu himself, he didn't deliberately hide his identity during these days of getting along with him, so it was easy for people to notice that there was something wrong with his identity.

Under such circumstances, the other party actually chose to help him?

As if he had guessed Chu Lu's thoughts, Li Bojin couldn't help but laugh.

This brother Yan usually behaved too maturely and steadily. Even though he still looked like a teenager, his thoughtful words and actions, as well as his subtle care for them, made Li Bojin almost mistakenly believe that he was the older man.

At this moment, the slightly surprised look finally revealed the age that matched his appearance.

Come to think of it, this child is about the same age as his younger brother.

Thinking of this, Li Bojin couldn't help but raise his hand and rubbed the other's head twice like an elder brother.

Chu Lu was suddenly touched on the head: ???

"Although it's a bit strange to say this, but..." Li Bojin touched his nose a little embarrassedly, "I really appreciate your care during this period of time... Qingzhi too."

Obviously not used to such confessions, Li Bojin tilted his head slightly and said hastily, "Brother Yan, please wait here. I'll go help you pack your luggage." Before he finished speaking, he turned around and left in a hurry.

Ignoring the system's distortion of "I'll buy you an orange" that made him laugh like a pig in his sea of consciousness, Chu Lu slowly curled his lips and said, "He's a good kid, isn't he?"

…………

…

However, Li Bojin failed to leave in the end.

Before he had taken a few steps, a man suddenly jumped out from the bushes on the side, knocking Li Bojin back several steps. The man had already nimbly circled behind him, raised his hand and hooked his arm around Li Bojin's shoulder, making a throat-locking gesture.

Su Qingzhi pretended to be fierce: "Tell me the truth, what are you two doing behind my back?!"

But after he said this, he didn't receive any rebuttal or explanation from his companions for a long time.

Su Qingzhi vaguely realized that something was wrong, loosened his grip, looked up, and saw that the other two people's eyes were on the young man who was walking slowly behind him.

Chu Lu, who was caught off guard, said: "..."

Li Bojin, who was about to go back to help pack his luggage, said: "..."

Su Qingzhi only then remembered that there was a stranger following him.

He quickly put down his hand and explained to his friend, "This is Brother Qin. When I came to find you earlier, I almost fell off the mountain. Thanks to Brother Qin for saving me... Brother Qin is knowledgeable and kind-hearted..."

Su Qingzhi introduced them to each other enthusiastically, as if he was introducing new friends.

But even though he talked until he was dry-mouthed, no one responded for a long time. When he looked up, he saw that the eyes of the two people opposite him were full of vigilance.

Su Qingzhi touched his hair in confusion and tried to explain: "Don't be fooled by Brother Qin's fierce appearance. He is actually a good person."

Chu Lu: "..."
