Chapter 59 Arriving at Baichuan Academy
Walking out of the cabin and onto the deck, there were many people gathered there. An Xin saw Zhao Kui standing there looking at him with a gloating look, and quickly squeezed into the crowd.
Then he saw the tall attendant who came with Kong Xun, holding Qingfeng who fell into the water with both hands. In order to avoid suspicion, he did not hold Qingfeng completely in his arms.
When the boatman heard that someone fell into the water, he got a rope and threw it down. Ling Yun held Qingfeng with one arm and held the rope with the other hand, and was pulled up by the boatman.
An Xin walked forward and in a hurry, without thinking much, took off his coat and put it on Qingfeng who was soaked all over.
At this moment, several big hands reached out to stop her at the same time, "Don't take it off."
"Cousin!" An Rui had never called An Xin in such a harsh tone.
Then he quickly took off his coat and handed it to her, "Use mine."
An Xin then remembered that this was ancient times. Even if she was still wearing clothes underneath, it was still horrifying for a woman to take off her outer clothes in public.
She reached out to take An Rui's clothes and quickly rolled them up, then put them on the shivering Qing Feng, blocking the gazes of many men looking at them.
Seeing the regret in the eyes of the men looking over here, An Xin's eyes twitched. She took off her coat, and she was wearing so much underneath, so what could be seen?
Li Ziyu, Leng Xiangbai and Kong Xun glanced at everyone on the deck at the same time, and finally directed their gaze to a fat man with a regretful look not far away.
"What bad luck! You're just pretty and I asked you to drink a few glasses of wine with me. Do you really need to jump into the water?"
The man swung his wide sleeves impatiently, dragged his fat body, and walked towards the ship muttering.
When several people heard what he said, a cold light flashed in their eyes, then they narrowed their eyes and walked towards the cabin.
Ling Yun sent Qing Feng to the cabin where she lived, and walked out all wet. Thinking of the girl who had just fallen into the water, his eyes became deep.
As we passed the deck, an evil and disgusting voice was heard.
"The little girl is pretty and must be very soft when I hold her. It's a pity that I can't swim, otherwise I could jump in and hold her in my arms and rub her."
When Ling Yun heard this, his eyes darkened.
“Ouch!”
He raised his foot and kicked Jixiang who was walking back to the ground. He stepped on his back with his big foot and said in a gloomy voice, "If you dare to talk nonsense again, watch your tongue."
Jixiang lay on the deck with his head raised, looking at Ling Yun's departing back with a sinister look, and whispered viciously: "Just wait, one day I will trample you and Ling Feng under my feet."
In the cabin, An Xin got some hot water for Qingfeng to take a hot bath, and then sat beside her and accompanied her silently.
Only after Qingfeng's emotions had completely calmed down did he ask her how she fell into the water.
When he learned that Qingfeng was going to the deck to get some fresh air after finishing his work, he was surrounded by a group of people coming down from the ship's tower, and was forced to capsize overboard while dodging.
After listening to Qingfeng's narration, An Xin had a blank expression on his face and said nothing.
If anyone knows her, they would know that An Xin was really pissed off at this moment.
It rained heavily in the evening and everyone returned to their cabins. For a moment, the outside was empty.
The dark water surface, with waves pushing one after another, hits the side of the boat, and the sound of raindrops washes the deck, indicating that tonight will not be peaceful.
In the dead of night, murders and arson occur.
At midnight, a slender black shadow wandered in the corridor.
Soon he returned quietly to his cabin, as if he had never been out.
The next morning, the heavy rain had stopped, and there was a commotion outside, waking everyone up from their sleep.
The man hurriedly put on his clothes and walked out, and saw the boatman pulling up a fat body from the side of the boat. The man had been hung all night and was unconscious.
The captain of the ship was afraid that someone might die, so he quickly ordered the doctor on board to rescue the fat man who had been hanging on the side of the ship all night in the rain.
Everyone who knew what happened yesterday turned their eyes to An Xin and the others.
Several of the fat man's followers ran over and looked at them angrily, "You did it, didn't you?"
An Xin looked normal, without a trace of guilt. "Did you see it?"
Several followers were immediately choked. They slept like pigs at night and it was raining heavily outside. How could they know who did this?
Seeing An Chu and his group looking calm as usual, the others began to wonder if they were overthinking it.
People like the fat man would do something like what he did yesterday, molesting a girl into diving. Who knows how many people he has offended in the past two days. It's better for them not to make blind guesses without evidence.
Shanzhang Wang looked at An Xin and the others with flickering eyes, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Although the fat man was unconscious and had a fever, he was eventually saved by the doctor and is out of danger.
As long as no one is killed, the captain will not interfere. He is not the local official, and he will not take care of the matter without evidence.
However, at night, he still ordered two shifts of boatmen to patrol.

Fortunately, they will arrive at the Leling County Pier tomorrow. After sending these ancestors away quickly, he can also go home and rest for a few days to calm down.
The next day.
The passenger ship docked at Leling County Pier.
Before An Xin and his companions got off the boat, they heard that the fat man had woken up and was shouting that he wanted to report to the police, saying that someone was trying to harm him.
Li Ziyu and the others looked at the calm look on their little headmistress's face. If they didn't know how strong she was, they would have really believed that this matter had nothing to do with her.
However, when the captain of the boat saw that the fat man was fine, he kindly invited him off the boat. It was no longer his business whether he reported the matter to the police or not.
Anyway, no one was killed, so everything can be discussed.
After An Xin and his friends got off the boat, they hired a few carriages to go to Baichuan Academy, where reception staff would arrange their food and lodging.
Horseman: "Gentlemen, we are here."
After everyone got off the carriage, Li Ziyu and Kong Xun paid the carriage fare.
An Xin looked up and saw a magnificent building standing not far away. The academy was built against the mountain, layer by layer, following the terrain.
A solemn and elegant gate tower stands majestically, with two huge stones about two meters and a half high erected on both sides of the gate as door guards. On the lintel, there are four large characters "Baichuan Academy" written in powerful strokes, which are obviously the work of a master.
The century-old academy is surrounded by lush greenery, and an elegant atmosphere fills the air.
"It is worthy of being one of the best academies in Daqian. It is so grand."
There were people nearby who came to attend the literary gathering like them. They were also shocked by this century-old academy and couldn't help but sigh.
An Xin and his friends walked to the main gate, where there were indeed people there to receive them, the students from academies all over the country who had come to attend the literary gathering.
"Please take out your invitation cards," said the receptionist.
An Xin took out a piece of paper with bamboo leaves printed on it using gold foil.
The receptionist probably saw that An Xin and the others came from a small, unknown academy, so he filled in their names expressionlessly and asked a servant to take them in.
"Wait a minute," Kong Xun, who had been following behind, took a step forward.
