After Jingzi "fled in panic", Zhao Rong patted his sleeves, ignored everyone's gazes, returned to his original place as if nothing had happened, and continued to wait outside the door.

But after waiting for a whole day, there was nothing to gain.

However, Zhao Rong had already prepared himself for a tough battle, so he was not in a hurry. Unless it was absolutely necessary or it would take up too much time, he would not go to Qinglianju on Wutong Street in East City to wait for Qingjun, nor would he entrust the trust of the Great Chu State Master to others to deliver it.

Thinking of this, Zhao Rong packed up his things in the afterglow of dusk, but he did not leave immediately.

He waited for a while, and when most of the scholars around him had left, Zhao Rong took out paper, ink, brush and inkstone again, and lowered his head to write a couplet.

He walked up the steps, came to the closed wooden door, and pasted the couplet carefully.

Although he won the bet at noon, it was he who wrote the wrong words on the couplet of the girl in blue first. He had already dealt with her subsequent unreasonable behavior, and now he compensated her with a pair of couplets, which almost cleared the matter.

In addition, he also spent some time on this couplet. Now it seems that the chances of entering the academy are too few, and he cannot miss any opportunity.

Zhao Rong glanced at the couplet on the wooden door and turned away.

Not long after he left, a little girl in blue sneaked out from the bamboo forest opposite the side door and came to the wooden door where Zhao Rong had just stopped.

Jingzi looked at Zhao Rong's receding back and snorted softly. She turned her head and looked at the new couplets on the wooden door.

Facing the door are thousands of bamboos.

The academy has a collection of tens of thousands of books.

Jingzi stared at the couplet closely, her eyebrows raised, not because of the couplet, but because of the handwriting of the person who wrote it.

Although she didn't like calligraphy, she thought it was enough to write neatly and clearly, and there was no need to be obsessed with it like her own teacher, but she still had a similar level of appreciation.

The handwriting of that playboy scholar now was not as "unorthodox" as that at noon, but a kind of regular script that she had never seen before, with a peculiar style.

Jingzi shook her head, still unable to see what was going on. She raised her hand and stood on tiptoe to take down the couplet, but her hand suddenly stopped in the air halfway through.

Looking back quietly, the wooden door faces a bamboo forest, lush and green.

She planted and cared for this bamboo forest, or rather, most of the flowers, plants and trees in Linlu Academy were under her care.

The girl in blue thought about it, then suddenly tilted her head and sneered.

…

The next morning.

After practicing all night, Zhao Rong suddenly opened his eyes and looked out the window. It was dawn.

He put away the incense burner and checked the agarwood. The once full bag was now less than one-tenth of it.

Zhao Rong sighed lightly. He still had a long way to go before he could open up the Great Circulation and enter the Fuyao Realm. However, compared with the originally expected progress, with the help of Qinnan Chenxiang, it was already fast enough.

He shook his head, packed up his things, opened the door, and prepared to leave the inn. Today he planned to go to the side door of the academy to wait for an opportunity.

When Zhao Rong turned around to close the door, he caught a glimpse of hibiscus flowers blooming on the branches outside the window.

He paused.

Not long ago, when they were traveling along the Li Du border, a silly girl was so envious of the beautiful hibiscus flowers that she jumped under the tree and reached out to pick them. Zhao Rong, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, held her little legs and lifted her up high.

Then the little fox demon picked the hibiscus flower with a silly smile, put it in her hair, took his hand and asked him if she was pretty, and if she was, then she could kiss her...

Zhao Rong's eyes were dazed, and at a certain moment, he frowned slightly... I wonder if the silly girl has found her grandmother... No... How about I go and check on her in two days.

He pursed his lips. Although the little girl patted her chest and said that the Star Picking Tower was the safest place for the little monster, he still felt a little worried.

She is so stupid, I guess she would just be counting money after being sold, right?

Zhao Rong kept thinking about this as he walked down the stairs.

But as soon as he went downstairs and arrived in the hall, he saw a familiar figure.

Zhao Rong was slightly surprised, "Miss Lu."

Lu Wan seemed to be talking to the innkeeper at the front desk. When she heard this, she turned around and smiled brightly, "Mr. Zhao, there is a letter from Miss Su."

Zhao Rong was slightly startled...

After one stick of incense.

Zhao Rong sent Lu Wan away and agreed to contact him later.

Back in the inn room, he lowered his head and smiled as he put away the light pink letter paper in his hand.

I have just watched it over and over again at least ten times.

This silly girl is still the same as before, every word she writes is crooked. Ahem, actually Zhao Rong wanted to teach her how to write several times, but while she was writing, she just wrote into the quilt.

Since Xiaoxiao is a poor student, Zhao Lang also has some responsibility.

However, there was no doubt that this letter was written by Xiaoxiao. In the letter was one of the secret codes they had secretly agreed upon before, which was used to distinguish the authenticity.

In addition, Zhao Rong is proficient in calligraphy, and the handwriting cannot deceive him. Well, he took a quick glance and saw seven typos in one sentence.

You are really something, silly Xiaoxiao. Next time I must supervise you in reading and writing... Zhao Rong said secretly while gritting his teeth.

He could even imagine Su Xiaoxiao biting the pen while writing the letter, tilting her head and wrinkling her nose as she pondered the agreed code...

This small letter roughly explains some things:

She had already found her great-grandmother in the Zhaixing Tower. She was lucky at that time because her great-grandmother was doing some work in the Zhaixing Tower and was about to go downstairs. Well, then she successfully captured her, the stupid little fox demon who had foolishly run down the mountain to Duyou City and was looking around on the first floor of the Zhaixing Tower.

Su Xiaoxiao said that her grandmother wanted to send her back, but after her constant persuasion, her grandmother, who loved her, softened her heart and found a way to let this "illegal resident" stay. Now Xiaoxiao is with other fox demon friends...

Su Xiaoxiao also said that she had not mentioned him to her grandmother and other sisters for the time being. Then she told Zhao Rong in a sincere tone to study hard, go to bed and eat on time, and to come find her when he became a scholar in the academy, so that he could meet her grandmother and other sisters together and let them know that Xiaoxiao also had a husband who was very good at studying.

In addition, this silly girl also said that she would be obedient and would not bother him unless she missed Zhao Rong so much that she couldn't think about him anymore.

Just let Zhao Rong focus on his work during this period.

At this time, inside the room, Zhao Rong touched the letter paper placed on his chest and pursed his lips.

He suddenly turned around, walked to the window, leaned out, picked the hibiscus flowers, put them away carefully, and exhaled softly.

After entering the academy and becoming a scholar, I got the jade from Qingjun, and then I thought of a way to do psychological work for her. Then I went to find Xiaoxiao immediately, and prepared to make the "king-to-king" confrontation between the two of them as less intense as possible... Well, so the psychological work done for them beforehand was extremely important, and some fatal Shura scenes must be avoided.

If we can land smoothly, it's okay to delay a little longer and let them meet later... Don't be too impatient...

Zhao Rong glanced at the scenery outside the window.

However, he would try to find Xiao Xiao before winter... No, before the Mid-Autumn Festival... If things went well by then, he would be able to take Xiao Xiao and Qing Jun to enjoy the moon and guess lantern riddles together...

Zhao Rong was a little expectant and then took a deep breath.

There is no point in thinking too much. The most important thing right now is to successfully enter Linlu Academy...

…

When Zhao Rong arrived at the side door of the academy, there were already quite a few people there.

He let out a light exclamation and felt that the surroundings seemed to be much more empty than before. He looked around and found out the reason.

In front of the courtyard gate, the lush bamboo forest where he had come to cool off on the first day had been cut down for the most part. No one knew who did it... Well, Zhao Rong guessed who it was.

He glanced at the couplet on the wooden door that was no longer relevant to the title, thought for a moment, came to the wooden door again, took out his pen and ink, added a word to each of the couplets, turned around gracefully, and continued writing in the surprised gaze of everyone.

In the distance, a girl in blue who was secretly monitoring Zhao Rong saw this and scratched her head. The distance was too far, so she couldn't see clearly what the dissolute scholar wrote. But after thinking about it, she put it behind her and continued to monitor Zhao Rong.

The sun gradually rose and then slowly set.

There was still nothing gained that day, so Zhao Rong turned and left.

She spent the entire afternoon of free time monitoring and guarding against the "unworthy" scholar Jingzi. She walked back to the side door leisurely with her hands behind her back, still silently thinking about the strange couplet that Zhao Rong had given her before.

At this moment.

Jingzi, who had reached the wooden door, stopped abruptly. She stared at the couplet on the door on which someone had added a word.

I saw that the meaning of the couplet was completely different.

Opposite the door are thousands of short bamboos.

The academy has a collection of tens of thousands of books.

Jingzi pushed hard with her right foot and rushed forward to tear down the irritating couplet.

Not only did he not embarrass Zhao Rong, but he actually angered him! He also lost a bamboo forest...

She gritted her teeth, but after walking a few steps, she gradually stopped, looked at the damaged bamboo poles in the garden, thought for a while, and snorted.

The next morning.

Zhao Rong continued to wait in front of the academy as usual. When he approached, he suddenly raised his eyebrows, because most of the bamboo forest in the garden yesterday had been cleared away, leaving only an empty space without a single short bamboo.

Zhao Rong ignored the sympathetic or gloating looks from the people around him and turned to look at the wooden door.

He saw that the door had been opened early today, and a girl in blue was standing on the steps with her hands folded, glancing down at him in a condescending manner.

But it was difficult for her. After all, she was so short, and she was so unwilling to be outdone and wanted to "look down" on him. As a result, she would probably get cervical spondylosis after a long time...

Zhao Rong walked straight towards her.

Jingzi saw Zhao Rong approaching her calmly, and her small body trembled suddenly, but she reacted immediately. This dissolute scholar is just a cultivator in the Ascension Realm. Why should I be afraid of him?

The girl in blue glared at Zhao Rong again. Seeing that he had come to her, she said disdainfully, "If you have the guts, continue..."

Jingzi's words were suddenly interrupted before she could finish them, because Zhao Rong walked past her without stopping, took out the pen and ink, added two more words to the couplet, then casually put the things into the Sumeru object, turned around, patted his sleeves, walked past her again as if nothing had happened, and walked down the stairs.

Jingzi was stunned.

From beginning to end, Zhao Rong didn't look at her once. The only time they made eye contact was when he just arrived, but that look... was as if he was looking at a naughty flat-chested girl?

Jingzi took a deep breath and turned to look at the couplet.

Now the upper and lower couplets each have seven characters.

Opposite the door, there are thousands of bamboos that are short and narrow.

The academy has a collection of tens of thousands of books.

Did you make it up to him again?

Jingzi looked at the couplet carefully for a few seconds, raised her hand to rub her eyes, with a dazed expression.

At this moment, there was a burst of applause and cheers from the crowd below.

Jingzi woke up suddenly, turned around and stared at Zhao Rong's back, thinking that this playboy scholar was too weird.

No! I'm so pissed off. I've never been pissed off like this since I was a kid. I don't believe I can't cure him!

Her shoulders rose and fell, and she turned around to tear down the couplet, but suddenly an idea came to her. She slowly withdrew her hand, glanced at Zhao Rong who was reading with his head down, and narrowed her eyes slightly.
