Xu Bai was lively and got along well with all the students in the academy, from the oldest scholar, Ma Xiucai, to the little kids in the elementary school class who still had snotty noses. Xu Bai could strike up a conversation with them all.
Hearing that Xu Bai was leaving, many people came to say goodbye after class. After dinner, the courtyard where Xu Bai and Chen Yuyuan lived was always full of people.
Xu Bai felt much comforted after his heart was broken that afternoon. He smiled and said goodbye to everyone, and his mood gradually improved.
When Xu Di arrived, there were still a few people in the room who had come to talk to Xu Bai and Chen Yuyuan. When they saw Xu Di, everyone in the room quickly stood up. Xu Di nodded and said, "Xu Bai, come here. I have a few words to say to you."
Xu Bai quickly came out of the room with his head down. Xu Di could hear that Xu Bai's room was very quiet. Only after Xu Bai came out did people start talking quietly inside.
Xu Bai asked, "Brother, what do you want to see me about?"
Xu Di said, "This is from your sister-in-law. Keep it with you in case you need it."
Xu Bai saw the purse and said in surprise, "Brother, did you give this to me?"
Xu Di said, "Your sister-in-law keeps all my money. If she doesn't give it to me, what am I supposed to give you?"
Xu Bai was even more surprised and said, "Brother, you really are a good man of the new era. Don't you keep any money for yourself? Brother, listen to me, a man can't do without money. You still have to secretly keep some for yourself."
Xu Di snorted coldly, and Xu Bai immediately fell silent. Xu Di said, "Listen to your uncle's words along the way and don't run around. When you get to Ganzhou, take good care of your parents."
Xu Bai agreed to each of his questions. Seeing that Xu Bai was listening attentively, Xu Di thought for a moment and whispered, "Learn skills well with Yu Yuan and protect him. Don't let anyone hurt him."
Upon hearing Xu Di's words, Xu Bai immediately raised his head. Xu Bai naturally knew Chen Yuyuan's true identity. Thinking of the assassins who chased after Chen Yuyuan when he went from the capital to Ganzhou, Xu Bai said in a low voice with some fear, "Brother, will anyone else come to kill us?"
Xu Di said, "To be honest, I really don't know if anyone else will come, but it's always better to be cautious. The people who are going to Ganzhou with you this time are all top-notch, and your uncle also brought some people with very strong martial arts skills. They are more than capable of protecting you all the way north. I'm just reminding you not to be careless and to pay attention to safety. After all, we really don't know what dangers will come at any time."
Xu Bai nodded, and Xu Di leaned closer to Xu Bai and said in a low voice, "No matter what happens or what happens, preserving your life is the most important thing. Not only you should do this, but Yu Yuan should too, understand?"
Xu Bai nodded and said, "Brother, don't worry."
Xu Di patted Xu Bai on the shoulder and said, "There are some loose silver coins in this purse. One is for you, and the other is for Yu Yuan. You two can carry them with you and buy whatever you want."
Xu Bai nodded and said, "Then I'll give it to Yu Yuan later."
Xu Di only walked towards the front yard after watching Xu Bai enter the room.
Xu Di needed to finalize the list of people who would be traveling with him. These people included those sent by Emperor Liang Cheng and those sent by the Old Madam. Emperor Liang Cheng had sent them to protect his son, Xiao Yuan, who was now Chen Yuyuan. Since Chen Yuyuan was leaving, they would all be traveling with him.
As for the people sent by the old lady, they were there to protect the Xu family's children. Now that Xu Bai was leaving, Xu Di selected the two best fighters from among those sent by the old lady.
Xu Di hurriedly went to the front courtyard where the guards were specially arranged to stay. The two guards had already packed their luggage.
These two people also came from the Li family and were cousins of Li Yanxia in Ganzhou.
Upon seeing Xu Di approach, the brothers Li Yanwen and Li Yanwu quickly stood up, cupped their hands, and greeted him as "Young Master."
Xu Di waved his hand and said, "Brother Yanwen, Brother Yanwu, this time on our journey north to Ganzhou, my maternal uncle and his two children will rely on you two brothers."
The two men repeatedly said they dared not accept it, but Xu Di said, "You have been traveling along the official roads, and I have arranged people at each post station. With this, you will naturally be treated well when you arrive."
Li Yanwen looked at his younger brother and saw that his brother was also looking at him. Everyone in the village said that the eldest son of the family was a brilliant and outstanding person. Although he had been here for more than half a year and had even gone to Ganzhou with him, it seemed that he still knew too little about this eldest son.
Xu Di took out a sign made of a very special material with a unique pattern.
Xu Di said, "Don't let anyone else know about this, not even Bai Ge'er. That child is impulsive and unruly. If he finds out, he might cause more trouble."
Li Yanwen quickly took it and solemnly tucked it into his chest.
Xu Di took out another purse and said, "There are a thousand taels of silver notes in here, all in small denominations. You two take these with you. Your great-uncle is getting old, so you must eat and stay according to his wishes. You older brothers should also make sure you eat well and rest well."
Li Yanwen took the package, and after the two thanked Xu Di, Xu Di told them to rest and then went to Wu Muyue's courtyard.
Now that things have come to this, Xu Di felt there was no need to hide his preparations from Wu Muyue. From the moment he decided to become Xiao Yuan's teacher, he had already boarded the Xu family's ship. In fact, even if he didn't agree, if something happened to the Xu family in the future in the struggle for the throne, he, as a relative by marriage, would still be implicated.
