Li Xi rushed towards Baichuan Academy in a great hurry.
Upon entering Baichuan Academy, they did not pause at all and strode straight toward Headmaster Xu's courtyard.
Recalling what happened last year, Li Xi couldn't help but feel deeply moved.
At that time, Li Yi was a teenager full of confusion about the future, not knowing where he should go or what to do.
Just then, Li Xi made a suggestion to him: transfer to Baichuan Academy.
After careful consideration, Li Yi decided to accept the proposal and resolutely came to Baichuan Academy.
He was very satisfied with the excellent teaching staff and the good learning environment here.
During this period, he gradually found his own direction in life.
This academy not only boasts a strong and outstanding faculty and a rich and excellent academic atmosphere, but also brings Li Yi a deep sense of satisfaction and pleasure.
During this period, Li Yi worked diligently and tirelessly, striving for progress step by step, steadily and surely, and gradually found a life development path that truly suited him.
Headmaster Xu praised him highly and treated him with great favor. He believed that this boy had some talent, and out of respect for Li Xi, he took Li Yi under his wing and carefully taught and cultivated him.
At this moment, Li Yi lay quietly on that spacious and comfortable bed, as if he had lost all his vitality.
His once rosy face was now deathly pale, devoid of any color.
Even his lips trembled slightly, revealing an indescribable pain and weakness.
Even more shocking was that Li Yi's entire body was tightly wrapped in thick gauze, making him unable to move like a mummy.
When Li Xi stepped into the room and her eyes met Li Yi's, a wave of panic and worry washed over her.
She stared wide-eyed at Li Yi's pale face, her voice trembling noticeably: "Xiao Yi, how did you become like this... What happened?"
Li Xi walked quickly to the bedside, took Li Yi's hand, and softly called his name, but Li Yi did not respond.
Turning to look at Headmaster Xu, he asked anxiously, "Headmaster, what exactly happened? Wasn't he away studying with his classmates?"
Although Li Xi was often away from home, she always maintained close correspondence with Li Yi.
Whenever he encounters something important or has a profound insight, he will not hesitate to pick up a pen and write a letter to share his experiences, feelings, and plans for the future with his sister.
Not long ago, Li Yi mentioned an exciting plan in a letter—he intended to travel and study with several like-minded classmates.
This trip will not only broaden their horizons and increase their knowledge, but also strengthen their will and abilities.
For a young man who has always longed to explore the world, this is undoubtedly a rare opportunity.
After receiving her brother's letter, Li Xi felt both happy for him and somewhat worried.
After all, when you're out and about, you'll always face various unknown difficulties and dangers.
But she understands that young people should bravely pursue their dreams and experience different lives.
So, they prepared a lot of travel money for him, and Meng Zhelan also made some pills for him.
Xu Shan sighed deeply and slowly began, "I heard from the other students who were returning to the capital that they were unfortunately robbed by bandits on their journey. That boy, Xiao Yi, fearlessly stepped forward to protect his companions, but unfortunately, he was no match for the bandits..."
"Xiao Yi." Li Xi called his name softly once again.
His consciousness gradually returned to clarity, and the pain in his head slowly dissipated, as if it were all a long dream.
Li Yi vaguely saw a figure, blinked, and tried to see it more clearly.
At that moment, a blurry figure appeared in his field of vision.
He rubbed his eyes hard, then looked again, his face immediately lighting up with joy: "Sister...Big Brother! What brings you here?"
"You're awake? That's wonderful." Li Xi's voice trembled slightly, her eyes reddened, and tears welled up uncontrollably. "How are you feeling? Is there anything wrong with your body?"
He gently shook his head, his tone firm: "I'm fine. Sister, don't worry too much."
Li Xi's face showed a mixture of heartache and helplessness as she gently scolded, "You silly boy, you must never act so rashly again!"
Li Yiqiang propped himself up and sat against the headboard. "I understand. By the way, how are the others doing?"
"They are all fine, suffering only minor superficial injuries," Headmaster Xu replied.
Upon hearing this, Li Yi finally felt relieved. "That's good."
"Just rest and recuperate. We can handle the rest," Li Xi comforted him.
Li Yi nodded, indicating that he knew his sister and Headmaster Xu would handle everything properly. "Thank you for your help. I will recover as soon as possible."
"You just need to rest and recuperate. I'll go and discuss it with the headmaster." After saying this, Li Xi turned and left, leaving him to rest alone.
Inside the room, Li Yi lay quietly on the bed, gazing at the bright sunlight outside the window, his heart filled with complex emotions.
Xu Shanzhang's study is located deep in the courtyard.
It was an antique-style room filled with a scholarly atmosphere.
Sunlight streamed through the fine window frames, casting dappled shadows on the wooden floor.
The study was filled with the faint scent of ink and the fresh aroma of paper, as if every breath of air was filled with wisdom and tranquility.
The bookshelves are filled with a dazzling array of books, from classics and historical texts to poetry and prose, from rare ancient books to modern works, all of which reflect Professor Xu's profound knowledge and broad reading interests.
"Xiaoxi, is there any news about your master? I wonder where he is now, and if he is safe and sound..."
As Xu Shanzhang muttered to himself, he slowly picked up the teapot and began to carefully brew a pot of fragrant tea.
“Master told us not to look for him, and that he would let us know if there was any news.” Li Xi counted the days; it had been several months since she had seen him.
His movements were skillful and elegant, as if every detail contained endless profound meaning.
As boiling water is poured into the teapot, the tea leaves tumble and dance in the water, releasing a fragrant aroma.
The fragrance filled the air, making people feel refreshed and relaxed.
"Young Master Qin, please have some tea." He gestured for the two of them to drink tea.
The person speaking looked at Qin Xiaolin with a smile on his face.
As he spoke, he gestured for them to proceed.
Seeing this, Qin Xiaolin did not refuse, but smiled and nodded, then picked up the teacup and took a small sip.
"Headmaster, how were Xiao Yi and the others rescued?"
Generally, robbers will target people who appear wealthy or are carrying valuables.
But targeting these penniless students is truly baffling.
Could there be more to this than meets the eye? Or do the robbers have ulterior motives?
