Time was of the essence, so Wu Yue planned to go find Fu Zhu at noon.
The punishment world was hell mode for her! She didn't want to go at all, let alone without the leg attachment to help her.
The girl was in a daze when Cuihua was ordered to carry a piece of paper over and spread it out on her lap.
The handwriting is by Yan Chiyu, and it contains information about the new teacher.
Mu Junyan. A graduate student from Tsinghua or Peking University, she's a new history teacher who just started yesterday. The previous history teacher went home to have a baby.
Wu Yue could occasionally understand Cuihua's points, but she didn't have the ability to truly communicate with her. Only Yan Chiyu could communicate with his paper figures.
Mu Junyan spoke eloquently on the stage: "There's no record of it in historical books, but I've read some unofficial histories. They say that He Xieyan, the ruler of Shu, committed suicide in the Crown Prince's palace on the eve of the New Year... Some say it was a fierce battle between the two, resulting in mutual destruction. We don't know the truth, but please remember one thing. What followed was the famous Rebellion of the Warring States, which is the focus of our lesson..."
The students were much more interested in unofficial history than official history. Before the gossip was even finished, the regular class started, and they all sighed and shouted excitedly.
Mu Junyan smiled helplessly and continued the lesson.

After class.
Wu Yue quickly took out the black book again and looked it over several times, comparing it with the history book several times.
Sure enough, the story of Fuzhu and He Xieyan was not mentioned at all.
As Wu Yue watched, she sighed. For Emperor Tianze, Fuzhu was probably a source of great shame. After He Xieyan's death, everyone would likely rejoice.
The girl closed the black book, and a dark shadow fell beside her.
Yan Chiyu: "Let's talk outside."
Most schools have similar layouts. Standing in the corridor of Class 38 of the third year of high school, Wu Yue couldn't help but think of her days at No. 5 Middle School and Teacher Mou, who would hold a cup of tea and say that youth is wonderful.
“He Xieyan was just a shadow of Lu Shu’s past. Once he disappeared, the memories ceased to exist.” The boy’s angular fingers tapped idly on the railing. He meant that it was impossible for Lu Shu to retrieve those missing memories.
Wu Yue certainly couldn't talk to Yan Chi Yuming about the system and the hidden mission, so she had to find another way to put it.
“After all, Lu Shu has been with me for so long, and Fu Zhu is my nephew’s guardian beast. I want to help them fulfill their wishes.” Wu Yue turned her face away, pretending to be calm.
"Little nephew?" Yan Chiyu stared at her with a half-smile.
Wu Yue raised her head slightly and whispered, "He said he likes me. I have to help him no matter what because of that."
"Him? Fuzhu? You knew each other before?" Yan Chiyu said this and immediately dismissed the question in his mind. If Wu Songsong really knew Fuzhu, she wouldn't have asked those awkward and polite questions that only strangers would ask.
"I admit that Fu Zhu is devastatingly handsome, but unfortunately he's not my type. I'm talking about Wu Tingyun, okay!"
Wu Yue lowered her eyes, her slender, white fingers, as delicate as lotus roots, playing with Cuihua, making the little paper doll roll in her palm.
"I understand. But..."
Yan Chiyu's eyes revealed a hint of helplessness. "Back then, Emperor Tianze banned Zuiyuxin wine. Wineries stopped brewing it, and shops stopped selling it. Over time, the recipe for Zuiyuxin wine has been lost."
The girl was silent for a few moments, then suddenly thought of something and leaned closer to Yan Chiyu.
Suddenly so close, so close he could almost hear her breathing, and seeing the light shimmering in her clear, bright eyes, took his breath away. The boy was startled and instinctively tried to push her back, but his mind kept him steady.
Then, he spoke slowly and deliberately: "What?"
"You will definitely brew the Jade Heart Wine, won't you?" Though it was a question, Wu Yue said with unwavering certainty.
The boy chuckled softly and said, "Wu Yue, am I already so all-powerful in your heart?"
