The people from the Xiao family walked quickly, as if they were afraid that Xiao Cunyu would continue to be frightened if he stayed there, and soon disappeared on the trail.
Qian Jialu watched the yamen runners taking the bandits away, and thought of Xiao Cunyu's explanation, and couldn't help feeling a little guilty.
"The Xiao family has produced many heroes. It would be good for you to interact more with the young master of the Xiao family. I heard that the eldest son of the Yuyong Marquis family was able to study in the Wanjun Academy with the guidance of the young master of the Xiao family. It can be seen that this boy is smart and studious, and he knows how to supervise those around him. He is much better than those young men who only know how to be arrogant, extravagant, and tyrannical all day long." Lord Duan sat in the same carriage with his nephew and began to teach.
"He is smart and studious!?" Qian Jialu was dumbfounded.
They are all idle people, so why is Xiao Qi praised so much by his uncle?
Although Xiao Qi is very good at martial arts and a good fighter, he is definitely not a gentleman. He is even a villain with a very sharp tongue! When it comes to bullying, Xiao Qi is not to be outdone, okay?
"It must be someone from the Xiao family." Lord Duan spoke highly of the Xiao clan.
There is Xiao Jingyun, a man of integrity and steadfastness; Xiao Guantang and Xiao Yingting, both a scholar and a warrior; and Xiao Pingji, a man proficient in medicine...
It is already good enough for other families to have a sensible and motivated child. Each of the several branches of the Xiao family has outstanding descendants.
Qian Jialu is now certain that his uncle does not trust the Xiao family, but thinks Xiao Qi is good-looking!
Come to think of it, Master Zhu and Master Lu in the academy, as well as that nameless old man from Yunhu, all treated Xiao Cunyu differently! When they spoke to him, their eyes were filled with kindness and gentleness!
Especially that weird old man, he always stares at Xiao Cunyu every time he gives a lecture!
Occasionally he would ask Xiao Cunyu questions, and even if Xiao Cunyu kept saying "I don't know", the old man would not get angry... It was as if there was no one else in his eyes but Xiao Cunyu!
Qian Jialu couldn't help but touch his face. Could it be that he was not good-looking enough?
"You two are lucky. You were saved by a master this time. Unfortunately, I don't know who that master is..." Lord Duan sighed, "Did you offend anyone? How could you suffer such a disaster for no reason?"
"I don't know..." Qian Jialu shrugged his head.
The bandit leader died so quickly that nothing was ever revealed.
The remaining minions are even more useless, and the mastermind behind this is probably nowhere to be found.
Qian Jialu thought about it and was sure that this man was coming for Xiao Qi. He had suffered a complete misfortune, and Xiao Qi didn't even bother to apologize to him!
"You should learn more skills in your daily life. If you have the ability to rely on yourself, why do you need help from masters? By the way, how are your results in the ten-day examination?" Lord Duan changed the topic very quickly.
Qian Jialu found it difficult to speak.
So annoying.
Ever since he moved into his uncle's house, he is no longer the happy little boy he used to be!
"I didn't pass..." Qian Jialu felt insecure in front of his uncle.
"Hmph... what about the others? That Prince Zhou, and the young master from the Xiao family, how did they do in the exam?"
"..." Qian Jialu's scalp was about to explode, "Zhou Jingmao... passed the literary examination, and Xiao Qi... passed the elegant examination."
Lord Duan was extremely shocked. "You said that Zhou Jingmao passed the literary examination? That's truly impressive! That Crown Prince Zhou was notoriously lazy and ignorant, but now he's turned around and learned well... This academy is definitely the right place to come! You must learn from Crown Prince Zhou and don't embarrass yourself!"
