Han Wenfu has been keeping his eyes on that old-fashioned woman ever since she came in.

At this time, Yu Huaijin was walking towards the waiting pavilion as usual, with a smile on his face. He straightened his back slightly and looked down, glancing at the clothes he was wearing today.

Han Wen rolled up his sleeves at his wrists and straightened his clothes. He was wearing an ordinary Qingjin student uniform, but he had a lot of accessories on his body. His belt was tied with a hook. The hook was made of white jade and was carved into the shape of a hollow dragon head.

Han Wenfu retracted his gaze, turned his head to look at the brothers in the pavilion, and said with a smile:

"I wonder if you are thirsty, brothers. It seems that we can't drink tea. However, I just brought some fruits with me, which can quench your thirst."

After he finished speaking, he tapped lightly with his fingers the white hollow dragon head hook on his waist.

The next second, a brocade box appeared in his hand. It was exquisite in style and a uniform dark reddish color. On the wall of the box, there was a landscape carving of green mountains and white cranes.

Han Wenfu smiled and opened the lid of the brocade box. In an instant, a strange fragrance filled the pavilion, faintly overshadowing the fragrance of orchids in the surrounding garden.

He reached into the box and brought out a small tray, on which lay six red fruits quietly. They were round and small, with their plump and juicy bodies reflecting the luster. They were bright red, somewhat like smooth plums, giving people a sour feeling at first sight, and coupled with the sweet fragrance, one's saliva naturally flowed out.

Everyone in the pavilion watched quietly, without saying anything for a while.

Gu Yiwu glanced at them for a few times, his eyes slightly brightened. He raised his eyes to look at the smiling Han Wenfu, then glanced at Yu Huaijin who was walking towards him, grinned silently, and said nothing.

Next to him was a man in brocade clothes. He was a senior from Guangye Hall named Li Wenyuan. He stared at the red fruits on the small tray, which seemed to have different colors, and suddenly asked curiously:

"Ink Heart Vermillion Fruit?"

Han Wenfu put away the brocade box and turned his back to the pavilion gate. He did not look at Yu Huaijin who was walking slowly. He smiled and said, "Brother Li is very knowledgeable. Here are some specialties sent by my family. Let's try them."

As he spoke, Han Wenfu casually moved two red fruits of almost the same shape, size and color on the plate inside, closest to him, and the other four farthest from him. Han Wenfu handed the small tray forward, signaling everyone in the pavilion.

The four Mo Chi seniors looked at each other. Li Wenyuan couldn't help but take it first, and the other three followed suit. Soon, the four red fruits that Han Wenfu placed farthest away in the tray were all taken away, leaving only two pieces lying alone in a pair in the tray.

Han Wenfu lowered his head and glanced at it, but did not go to get it immediately.

Li Wenyuan gently twisted a red fruit, rolled it slightly left and right between his two fingers, and looked at the small red fruit in front of his eyes for a few seconds. After a while, he nodded and said to the other seniors who were looking at him curiously:

"This thing is called Mo Xin Zhu Fruit, and it is a unique wonder of our Wangque Continent. However, it is not compatible with the soil and water here in Beiwangque. Only a few immortals in Nanwangque grow it, but there are very few of them. It is a rare thing, and there are few of them circulating in the mountains. I only heard about it from a gourmet who likes to taste mountain delicacies. I didn't expect to have the opportunity to taste it here today. Brother Han, I can talk about it in the future."

Han Wenfu waved his hand and shook his head with a smile.

"It's a good thing. Brother Han is very generous." Gu Yiwu smiled naively. He looked up and threw the small fruit into his big mouth. He swallowed it in one gulp. He smacked his lips and his eyes lit up slightly. As this burly man spoke, he reached out to take it.

Han Wenfu's eyes twitched slightly, and he moved the tray back, preventing this guy from succeeding.

Gu Yiwu withdrew his hand, looked at him and grinned.

Han Wenfu looked away, keeping his peripheral vision on the approaching footsteps from behind.

One of the seniors did not speak immediately, but said with a little concern:

"Besides the fact that it looks delicious, does it have other magical properties?"

Li Wenyuan thought about it.

"I heard that this fruit is quite popular among some private circles of hermits on Nanwangque Mountain. It is considered an elegant item for private gatherings. Although we practitioners rarely rest and don't even dream, I heard that after eating this Mo Xin Zhu fruit, the eater can enter a dream like a landscape ink painting the next time he dreams."

He paused, then laughed and shook his head:

"I heard that this kind of ink dream has many wonderful and magical benefits. It can indeed be regarded as a tribute to the study of scholars in our mountain. And there seems to be an even more special pair of strange fruits among the ink-hearted red fruits... Well, after talking so much, I don't know much about its specific uses. It's just that there happens to be a glutton in my family. I heard some of it when he took me to the market at the foot of the mountain to eat. However, I am sure that I don't know as much as you, Brother Han. Sorry for the embarrassment."

Han Wenfu stood at the entrance of the pavilion with his back turned. He heard that the old-fashioned woman outside the pavilion had stopped walking. She must be waiting for them to finish talking.

He stood tall and slender, with one hand behind his back and the other holding a plate. He smiled at everyone in the pavilion and said:

"Brother Li has already said it more or less. After eating this ink fruit, one can enter a dream of mountains and rivers with a clear mind, where one can sit quietly and read, or go fishing in the cold river, or enjoy the scenery of mountains and rivers. It is a kind of pastime to relieve one's boredom. It is quite popular in my home. My family sent some to me, asking me to study hard and get to know more young talents like you."

Han Wenfu's eyes flickered slightly, and he paused before saying with a smile, "Brothers, you can go back and explore the wonders in dreams. If you find it boring, the miraculous effect will be gone after a few days. If you like it, I still have some."

Li Wenyuan smiled and nodded, then took a bite of the Mo Xin Zhu fruit.

Gu Yiwu suddenly asked, "Where is Brother Han's hometown?"

Everyone listened curiously.

Han Wenfu said calmly: "Qingyang, a small place in the south."

After he finished speaking, he seemed not to want to say anything more. He looked around the pavilion, and then seemed to have noticed something. Han Wenfu turned his head back and saw the people outside the pavilion. He looked surprised and said with a smile, "Brother Huaijin."

The other four seniors in the pavilion also looked outside the pavilion.

Yu Huaijin held her hands with a calm expression. She had not disturbed everyone's conversation. She stood quietly outside the pavilion for about ten breaths. But just now, after hearing the word "Qingyang" floating out of the pavilion, this old-fashioned woman glanced at Han Wenfu's back in front of the door and pursed her lips slightly.

At this moment, seeing that they all turned their heads to look at her, she saluted them formally as usual, "Brother Han, Brother Gu, Brother Li..."

"You're welcome, Brother Yu. Good morning."

The men in the pavilion all stood up to return the greeting.

Gu Yiwu straightened his back, thought for a moment, then turned to Han Wenfu and continued to pursue him:

"Qingyang? Is it in Nanwangque? I haven't heard of it... Alas, I must be a little ignorant. However, judging from Brother Han's upbringing, he must be from a reclusive Confucian family."

Han Wenfu raised the corner of his mouth imperceptibly, glanced at Gu Yiwu who continued to talk according to his wishes, then his expression changed slightly, shook his head and sighed:

"It's not a noble family, but our ancestors were once rich, but we are unworthy descendants, so we are just a small family now. Ha, this kind of thing is actually very common in our Wangque and it's not worth mentioning. Brother Gu, please don't ask... I came to the academy to study, and it took a lot of energy from my family. Alas, the earnest advice of the elders is still ringing in my ears. I must study hard in the academy and make more friends with talented people..."

A hint of determination flashed in Han Wenfu's eyes. He looked down at the two remaining fruits in the tray, turned around, and handed the tray to Yu Huaijin, who had been listening to him quietly in silence.

"Brother Yu, everyone has tasted it, you should have one too. This is a specialty of my hometown, and it is also... a token of my family's care."

He looked at Yu Huaijin seriously with a sincere expression.

Yu Huaijin held her hands and lowered her eyes, looking at the tray in front of her. She was quiet for a moment, and for a moment, a slight sense of guilt flashed across her brows. The hand in her sleeve moved, ready to reach out to take it.

At this moment.

Boom boom boom——

There was a knock on the door of Yilanxuan for the seventh time this morning.

Everyone in the courtyard was stunned.

This time the rhythm and movement of the knocking sounded unfamiliar.

The air in the courtyard was quiet for a while, and no one spoke for a few moments.

Boom boom boom——

After opening the door for Yu Huaijin just now, she did not follow immediately. Instead, the girl in blue who was squatting in a patch of orchids loosening the soil threw away the shovel, jumped up, and said in an impatient voice, "Come on, come on, stop knocking. It's so early in the morning, and everyone is here like they're going to the market. Your knocking on the door is giving me a headache."

Yu Huaijin was about to take the Mo Xin Zhu Fruit when she suddenly stopped, her hand still not extending from her sleeve. She turned her head and looked at Jingzi with a frown.

The latter, who had a strong desire to survive, caught a glimpse of this scene out of the corner of her eye. The girl in blue covered her mouth, coughed twice with shaking shoulders, then pretended nothing had happened and trotted to open the door.

Han Wenfu felt a little helpless when he saw this. Why did things always go wrong? However, he still handed the tray forward and said with a bright smile, "Brother Huaijin."

Yu Huaijin turned around and looked at his smiling face. She didn't know what she was thinking of, and her brows furrowed slightly. She didn't look at the tray, but nodded in response. Then, pretending she didn't see it, she turned around again and looked at Jingzi who was about to open the door not far away.

Precisely because I feel a little guilty, I'd better...try not to let him have any fantasies.

Han Wenfu frowned.

At the door, Jingzi trotted to the door, frowned and muttered: "Who is it again? One, two, three, four, five, plus Sister Yu, all the seniors from the six schools are here, how come another one shows up? Really..."

She pulled the door with both hands, looking stern.

In an instant.

The early morning sun shone in from outside the door, bringing with it... someone's shadow.

The person outside the door came into view.

Jingzi was stunned.

Snap——

The "person outside the door" took a bite of the cucumber and was slightly surprised when he saw the girl in blue. Then, he smiled and showed his white teeth, "Hello, little sister."

Jingzi: “…”

The next second, in the waiting room where everyone was stuck and couldn't see the people outside the door, they saw the blue-dressed girl who was always "arrogant and domineering" and spoke with her hands on her hips and a hint of chili powder. Her small body shook upwards, and her two thin arms suddenly slammed the door shut, turned around, and ran into the yard without saying a word. After a while, she disappeared...

It's like a little rabbit is digging in the soil to eat carrots, and then suddenly a big bad wolf appears out of nowhere. Don't you think it's scary?

Yu Huaijin: “…”

Han Wenfu, Gu Yiwu and four other seniors: "???"

With a squeak.

The foot that was blocking the courtyard door from closing was retracted, and a hand with a green sleeve gently pushed the door open. Zhao Rong walked slowly into the door, raised his chin, and looked up at the distance where the little rabbit had already run away. "Why are you running?"

He held three cucumbers in his left hand and half a cucumber in his right hand. He chewed with his cheeks slightly puffed, muttered something, and shrugged.

At this moment, Zhao Rong noticed his gaze and slowly turned his head. Looking at the people in the waiting hall who were stunned and speechless, he smiled brightly.

"Good morning, everyone."
