When Xiao Cunyu's words, which were full of passion and trust, came out, Zhou Jingmao almost jumped up.
"Dad, don't believe her. Wanjun Academy isn't a good place. You'll get in the wrong way if you go!" Zhou Jingmao shouted hurriedly, "I'm not going to any academy. I'm staying home!"
Xiao Cunyu smiled slightly and looked at Zhou Jingmao.
Meeting her gaze, Zhou Jingmao thought of that night...
The scene where he just said "good brother" and took the pretty boy back home...
Why did he feel that this pretty boy was making money from him while still holding a grudge against him?!
"Wanjun Academy?" Lord Zhou frowned upon hearing this. "This academy was indeed quite good a few decades ago, but then...war broke out everywhere in the world, and it seems the academy had internal strife, leading to its decline."
This academy was all-encompassing in the past. Not only were there people from Feng, but also many scholars from Chang and the destroyed Li Kingdom came to study there.
But because of this, when the war broke out, the academy was the first to be suppressed.
After a few years, the academy fell into silence and lost its reputation.
"Although it's in decline, Mr. Lin said that this academy is suitable for Brother Jingmao." Xiao Cunyu said, "Uncle, you can consider it. Other academies may also be suitable. After all, pursuing academic advancement is a serious matter for Brother Jingmao and should not be taken lightly."
Who wants to learn?!
Zhou Jingmao quickly shook his head: "I really don't want to go anywhere!"
"Nonsense! Why don't you thank Mr. Xiao for planning your future?!" Lord Zhou immediately glared at Zhou Jingmao, then pondered, "Since Lord Lin said this, there must be a reason. The world's number one scholar would never deceive a fool like him. There's a reason why Wanjun Academy attracted so many people back then..."
"I will send him there in a few days." Lord Zhou agreed without much thought.
He may not believe what Xiao Cunyu said.
But the advice from the great Mr. Lin would definitely be of benefit to his son and would not cause any harm.
"Dad, don't you even ask for my opinion?! And... you, you, you don't understand her! She lied to you before. In fact, she has never traveled around the world, nor is she a poor family child who has experienced the vicissitudes of life! She is Xiao Guantang's younger brother!" Zhou Jingmao shouted hurriedly.
When these words were spoken, Duke Zhou was shocked.
"Is that Xiao Jieyuan?" asked Zhou Hou.
"Yes, it's him. You even praised him in front of me!" Zhou Jingmao nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
"This Xiao Guantang does have a younger brother. As far as I know, that child is a top martial arts champion and is now in the army... You don't seem like one, do you?" Lord Zhou looked her over.
"He's just an elder brother from the same clan as mine. This branch of our family has always lived in the clan territory. In comparison, he has no special talents and is extremely ordinary." Xiao Cunyu seemed quite shy and modest.
Lord Zhou has a very clear understanding of the forces in the capital.
Hearing Xiao Cunyu's words at this moment, he thought a little and guessed Xiao Cunyu's origin.
Then, the look in his eyes when he looked at his son was even more disgusted.
The children of the Xiao family are already very outstanding, but the fifth branch of the Xiao family is not very famous. Now looking at it again, even if the elders of the fifth branch are gone, the children left behind are also extremely outstanding!
Look at this young man, he is well-behaved, sensible and sweet-spoken, and he comes from a good family, but he keeps a low profile and never acts recklessly by relying on the supporters behind him. He is truly a rare good boy in the world!
"How dare you say that! Look at him, when did he start showing off his background? What about you? You wish you could write on your forehead who your father is! Pack up your things tonight, and go to the academy with the gold sticker early tomorrow morning!" Lord Zhou could have been able to endure it, but now seeing his son's stupid and unconscious look, he felt that if he continued to endure it, he, as a father, would look like a fool too.
