Jiang Li: "..."
Well, I've been caught again.
Although Jiang Li felt that she hadn't done anything wrong, rummaging through someone else's study without permission was not a good thing in itself.
It's only natural that they would treat her as a thief and hand her over to the authorities.
With a dry laugh, Jiang Li turned to look at the Grand Preceptor, "Um... if I said I just wanted to find something, would you believe me, Grand Preceptor?"
"You've turned the study upside down, so naturally you're looking for something," the Grand Preceptor said expressionlessly. "So what you're saying is believable. What I'm concerned about is... what are you looking for?"
Jiang Li didn't try to hide anything. Instead, she said matter-of-factly, "Of course I need to find a map. The Grand Preceptor was right. He told me there was a poetry gathering in the capital, but he didn't tell me exactly where it was. So I can only find a map first and study the possible locations. This is much faster than me running around on foot, isn't it?"
When Jiang Li said this reason, she gave herself a big thumbs up in her heart.
The Imperial Advisor did not doubt Jiang Li's statement, and he would never send someone to follow Jiang Li around and monitor her every move.
His main task...
It's still the one next to him...
Only by merging with his soul can he be a complete being; only when he is complete can he...
As he pondered this, the Imperial Advisor's gaze deepened even further.
"What kind of map do you want?" The Grand Preceptor didn't pursue the matter of Jiang Li rummaging through his study, but instead asked.
Jiang Li blinked, looking innocent and harmless. "Originally, I just wanted to look at a map of the capital, but now that I think about it, I think I should look at all the maps here, at least... to get a feel for... the beautiful landscape of our country, don't you think?"
The Imperial Advisor stared at Jiang Li for a few moments before finally walking to a wall.
There was a painting hanging on the wall, and he took it down.
Then, where the painting was hanging, there was a hidden compartment.
Inside the hidden compartment was a stack of things.
The Imperial Advisor took the stack of documents and handed them to Jiang Li.
Jiang Li: "???"
What's this?
Jiang Li wasn't entirely sure, but she still took a closer look.
Yoho!
Oh, this is a map.
But these maps...
It was much more complicated than the maps she usually looked at.
Without some knowledge and cultural background, you probably wouldn't understand it.
Jiang Li was overjoyed and immediately began studying the map.
At first, she pretended to look at the map of the capital for a while, but soon...
She then found the map she most wanted to see.
The map looked a bit complicated, but with Jiang Li's brain, she found some important markers and was able to recognize some of them.
However, times change and time flows on...
Many things no longer exist.
"Grand Preceptor..." Jiang Li estimated a general location, then pointed to it and asked the Grand Preceptor, "Where is this place?"
The Imperial Advisor glanced at it and suddenly smiled, “A very beautiful and important place.”
It's a good time to die.
Jiang Li: "???"
Jiang Li didn't understand what the Imperial Advisor's gaze meant, but she had an indescribable feeling about it.
I always feel a bit of hair on my back.
"It's quite far. Would you like to go and take a look?" the Imperial Advisor suddenly asked.
"I..." Jiang Li looked puzzled. "Grand Preceptor, you're being so generous this time, you actually thought of taking me with you?"
"Since you discovered this place, isn't it only natural that I take you there?" the Grand Preceptor retorted.
Jiang Li: "..."
What she said made some sense, but for some reason, she just felt something was off.
"We'll depart first thing tomorrow morning." Without saying anything more, the Imperial Advisor gave the final notice.
“No!” Jiang Li immediately refused. “I have something to do tomorrow and can’t go there early in the morning.”
Could this person be deliberately doing this to prevent her from meeting Fuying?
That's going a bit too far.
"This is the place where you can leave." The Grand Preceptor wasn't afraid that Jiang Li wouldn't agree. He calculated carefully and said with certainty, "If you go there tomorrow morning, you can still catch the activation of the formation and reverse time to send you back. But if you are late, you will miss this good opportunity. Whether you will have another chance to go back in the future... is hard to say."
Jiang Li: "..."
Lu Shiyan: "..."
So now they are faced with two choices...
Go see the old Fuying, or leave this place.
At once……
Do we even need to choose?
It's definitely a decision to abandon the previous choice.
Jiang Li sighed, glanced at Lu Shiyan again, and finally said to the Imperial Advisor, "Alright, we will set off with you tomorrow."
"Then it's settled."
After saying that, the Imperial Advisor continued to stare at the map.
His eyes were dark and unfathomable, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
"I need to go to the palace later." The Imperial Advisor suddenly looked up at Jiang Li. "In the time to come, Miss Jiang can take her time to explore the capital. After all, once you leave, you won't have the chance to come back again."
“That’s true.” Jiang Li waved to Lu Shiyan. “Then I’ll go… take a stroll…”
Since there was still some time, she decided to take this opportunity to go find Fuying.
Whether we'll be able to meet is hard to say, but if we don't try, we definitely won't.
After figuring things out, Jiang Li returned to her own courtyard.
They bumped into Chu Yunjie, who looked anxious.
"Jiang Li, where have you been?" Chu Yunjie rushed to Jiang Li immediately. "I've been looking for you all day and I haven't been able to find you."
"Oh, I went out to find a way back," Jiang Li said with a straight face, making up a lie. "It wouldn't be convenient to take you with me, so I went by myself."
She would never tell Chu Yunjie that she had completely forgotten about him.
"Then..." Chu Yunjie's voice weakened upon hearing this, "Did you find it?"
"More or less..." Jiang Li answered uncertainly, "We'll leave tomorrow morning. As for whether we can get back, we'll have to wait and see."
"good."
"Stay put in the manor and don't wander off," Jiang Li instructed Chu Yunjie again. "I'm a little tired, I'll go back and rest first."
"good."
then……
After returning to the courtyard to rest, Jiang Li avoided the gaze of others, patted an invisibility talisman on herself, and left the Imperial Preceptor's residence openly and legitimately.
As for where to find Fuying...
Jiang Li stated...
She had already figured out the map of the capital.
She had memorized the location of Jimo Prefecture.
Therefore, after leaving the Imperial Preceptor's residence, Jiang Li immediately went to Jimo Prefecture.
Jimo Prefecture wasn't far, and Jiang Li arrived there quickly.
It took quite a bit of time to find Fuying's courtyard.
When Jiang Li finally saw Fu Ying, she truly understood the meaning of the poem...
There is a beautiful woman in the north, peerless and independent.
One glance could topple a city, a second glance could topple a nation.
How could one not know the power of a beauty to topple a city or a nation?
Such a beauty is hard to find again.
