Chapter 218 217 Good Luck Lost, An Rui Falls into the Pond and Is Not Sure of His Life or Death
If they were not afraid of causing trouble for An Xin again and delaying the time of rescuing An Rui, they would have jumped down to help find people long ago.
Unlike them, Xiao Wenrou, who stood behind them with a look of panic on her face, actually had joy in her eyes.
She thought it would be best if this woman, who was more famous than herself in the capital, could also drown in this cold pool of water, which would be exactly what she wanted.
Although she was known as a talented woman, this woman had just returned to Beijing from traveling with several of her disciples, but was personally appointed by the emperor of the time as the first female official since the founding of Daqian.
For a time, he was very famous and his name spread throughout the capital.
Even his prime minister was dissatisfied with the presence of female officials in the court and secretly instigated impeachment, but no one knew what was wrong with the old emperor.
Faced with opposition from many officials, he angrily denounced those who spoke out against her and actually protected her to this extent.
If he hadn't known that his cheap prime minister had sent people to investigate secretly, he would have known that this woman named An Xin was neither the emperor's daughter who had wandered away, nor the emperor's mistress.
But I don’t know why Principal An Xiaoshan caught the old emperor’s eye. Is it just because she taught these outstanding students and disciples of military generals?
He demonstrated his knowledge and talent and was appreciated by the emperor.
Xiao Wenrou looked with dark eyes at Li Ziyu, Leng Xiangbai, Jiang Chenxi, Gao Tai, and Chen Qibao who were standing on the shore, all looking at the pool anxiously.
There were also Liu Boxing and Yuchi Yi, who were thrown ashore by An Xin, soaking wet, because they always had bad luck and had accidents when going into the water to save people.
I had an idea in my mind. It was because the woman taught these talented students that she proved her ability and was noticed by the emperor and given an official position.
Then she would just absorb all the good luck of the students and disciples she taught, making them more and more unlucky, and maybe even angering the king because of their bad luck.
At that time, not only will her students be punished by the emperor, but this woman, who is more glorious than herself in the capital, will also be implicated by her own students.
By then, I wonder what she can do to leave all of them aside like she did today and dare to ignore me...
Thinking of this, Xiao Wenrou's red lips curled up.
Jiang Xuan pursed his slightly pale lips tightly, covering his heart which was filled with anxiety and turned around to cough lightly. At that moment, he caught a glimpse of a gloating smile on Xiao Wenrou's lips.
Thinking of the woman whose face turned pale because she had been rescuing people in the cold pond for too long, it was obvious who Xiao Wenrou was gloating over.
With anger flashing in his heart, Mr. Jiang San's eyes were full of murderous intent, and there seemed to be a click in his brain, as if he had broken free from some invisible temptation and shackles.
Looking at Xiao Wenrou, who restrained her facial expression and smiled sweetly at him, the joy and closeness he originally felt for her involuntarily disappeared.
The bottom of the pool under the mountain waterfall was very cold. An Xin searched almost the entire pool but couldn't find his cousin An Rui.
Just when she was exhausted but still unwilling to give up, she heard two splashing sounds of people falling into the water.
"Third Master..."
"Senior Brother Li..."
Not long after, An Xin, who was holding her breath and looking for someone below, saw two tall and slender figures swimming towards her.
An Xin, whose face had turned pale from the cold and whose body was shivering uncontrollably, seemed to lose his temper when he saw them, and fell into the pool.
No matter how hard she tried to swim upwards, her numb limbs were somewhat out of control.
Jiang Xuan and Li Ziyu jumped into the pool one after another and swam towards her with all their might. Finally, they lifted An Xin out of the water before she spit out bubbles like a fish and drank enough water.
After the three of them got ashore, everyone gathered around them. Leng Xiangbai quickly took off his outer robe and put it on An Xin.
"Cough, cough, cough..." An Xin coughed several times in succession because he was choking from the water.
"Cough... cough cough." After Jiang Xuan, who was already in poor health, came ashore, his hair was dripping with water, his face became even paler, and he coughed intermittently.
"Third Master, you are not in good health, how can you ..."
Jiang Xuan's personal bodyguard didn't finish his words. After meeting the gaze of his master, his neck seemed to be restrained by something and he couldn't say the next words.
Jiang Zhou knelt on the ground and gently patted An Xin's back to relieve her physical discomfort.
Leng Xiangbai looked at Li Ziyu, who was soaked all over, and said with concern, "Are you okay?"
Li Ziyu shook his head, "It's okay."
Jiang Xuan and Li Ziyu looked at each other, and when they thought about jumping into the pool and seeing their sinking figures, they felt a sense of fear in their hearts.
I couldn't help but feel lucky that they jumped down.
An Xin stared blankly at the waterfall surging into the pool, slowly raised her head and closed her eyes to stop the tears from flowing down.

After searching in the pond for nearly an hour, An Xin, who had common sense about drowning, felt more and more frustrated.
She knew that after such a long time, even if she found it, it would probably be...
An Xin gritted her teeth and wanted to jump into the pool again. Even if there was only one body... she had to find her cousin.
"Teacher, it's her..." Chen Qibao looked at the female teacher who took them to travel all over the country, taught them how to be a good person and the truth, and who silently cared for them over the years, with a painful expression on her face.
He finally regained a bit of rationality and broke free from the temptation of the heroine's halo in a short period of time. He pointed at Xiao Wenrou with tears in his eyes.
She cried out in pain, "She came here and said that whoever wets the handkerchief first and gives it to her to wipe the dust off her hands will recite a poem for him today."
Gao Tai pointed sadly at the young master of aristocratic family who had fallen into the water and was rescued by An Xin. He was already awake and sitting there, "He saw that Senior Brother Rui ran faster than him and reached the pool first.
Unwilling to give up, he pushed Senior Brother Rui, but because they were too close to the pool and the shore was slippery, he also fell into the pool along with Senior Brother Rui.
An Xin turned her head and looked at Xiao Wenrou with sharp eyes. Knowing the whole story, she was burning with anger.
She wanted to teach An Rui and several disciples a small lesson, but she didn't expect Xiao Wenrou to be so cruel that she could absorb so much of their luck in such a short time.
An Rui lost his good luck and fell into the pond. He couldn't get out and lost his life.
An Xin slowly stood up and walked towards Xiao Wenrou, who had no remorse on her face and a look of sarcasm and unwillingness in her eyes.
Seeing An Xin's stern expression, a cruel and bloodthirsty look was revealed between his brows, and a cold and evil smile like the devil's death was raised on his lips.
He backed away in panic, shouting, "They wanted to go there on their own initiative. It's none of my business."
"If you hadn't made such a shameless request, why would these men who are attracted to you rush to the pond to wet a towel and give it to you to wipe your hands?"
Under normal circumstances, An Xin would have thought that it was An Rui and the others who were being shameless, but now that his little cousin had lost his life, An Xin was no longer so rational and easy to talk to.
