After buying things, Xiao Ci turned around and saw Jiang Li had walked to the door of the lantern shop. She screamed, and before she could remind the people below, the door plaque above smashed down!

If the solid wooden plaque hits someone, it will either kill or injure them! "Be careful!"

“Run!”

People around were fleeing, but those standing at the door of the lantern shop were not so lucky.

The moment the plaque fell, they had no time to react!

Just as the heavy plaque was about to hit everyone hard, at the critical moment, a mysterious figure descended from the sky and split the plaque in half with one palm!

Bang!!

With a loud bang, the typesetting that was split in half fell heavily to the open ground, raising a cloud of dust! "Ahem!"

Everyone covered their mouths and noses and shielded their eyes with their sleeves.

Jiang Li also covered her mouth and nose and started coughing.

Just when the plaque fell down, her waist was restrained by a strong arm, and then her body was lifted into the air and taken away from the spot.

After the danger was over, Xiao Heng held Jiang Li and landed steadily on the ground. The dust raised by the dust blocked the two people's figures from sight.

Jiang Li hugged Xiao Heng's neck, buried her face in his neck and coughed twice.

Xiao Heng's body tensed up, and his earlobes turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Just now when he flew all the way to this street, he saw the figure standing at the door of the shop. In order to conceal his identity, he grabbed a mask from the stall and put it on.

Now that she was so close to Jiang Li, the face hidden under the mask had already become ripe.

"Are you okay?"

Xiao Heng deliberately lowered his voice.

Jiang Li shook her head: "It's okay, thank you for your help, sir."

While the two were talking, the dust around them gradually dissipated. In order to avoid gossip, Xiao Heng put Jiang Li on the ground when the dust was about to dissipate.

"Miss, Miss, where are you?"

Xiaoci came back to her senses with a trembling voice, and looked for Jiang Li anxiously.

"Goodbye."

After seeing Xiao Ci walking towards them through the mud and dust, Xiao Heng left after leaving these words.

"Hello……"

When Jiang Li wanted to speak again, Xiao Heng had disappeared.

"Miss!"

After seeing Jiang Li's figure, Xiao Ci rushed over quickly.

"Miss, are you okay? I was scared to death just now!"

Xiao Ci grabbed Jiang Li's arm and looked her around. Only after making sure that she was unharmed did she breathe a sigh of relief.

Seeing Jiang Li staring straight ahead, Xiao Ci asked in confusion, "What are you looking at, young lady? Were you frightened just now? When we get back, I'll have someone make some tranquilizers for you to calm you down."

"Nothing, let's go."

Jiang Li came back to her senses, shook her head, and walked forward without changing her expression. If you look closely, you can easily see that the corners of her mouth are slightly raised at this moment.

She knew that the person who had just rescued her was Xiao Heng, and she was deliberately teasing him just now.

I didn't expect this guy to be so innocent. I just coughed twice in his ears and his ears turned so red.

If you put it in your mouth...

Cough, cough, cough, what are you thinking about! ! Jiang Li coughed twice to get rid of the messy yellow garbage in her mind.

"Li'er, Li'er, are you okay?"

After hearing the noise here, Jiang Lin and Jiang Yi strode over and looked at Jiang Li and Xiao Ci with worried expressions.

"Brother, I'm fine, why are you here?"

Jiang Yi raised the lantern in his hand and said, "Here, this is the lantern you asked for. We heard some noise and rushed over here. What happened?"

"My lord, you don't know how thrilling it was just now. The signboard of the lantern shop fell down just now. Miss was at the door at that time. The signboard almost fell on Miss. I was so scared!"

Xiao Ci patted his chest, still feeling a little scared when he thought about what had just happened.

Jiang Lin gasped when he heard this: "Li'er, you must be scared. If I had known this would happen, I would never have left your side!"

Facing the concern of her two brothers, Jiang Li felt warm in her heart. She stepped forward and took their arms, comforting them: "Don't worry, big brother, I'm fine, right?"

Jiang Lin pursed his lips and said, "Li'er, are you scared? Why don't we go back first and ask the court doctor to prescribe some medicine to calm you down."

"No, I'm fine. We still have to light lanterns, right? Let's go ahead and take a look."

After Jiang Li finished speaking, she pulled her two brothers into the crowd, with Xiao Ci following closely behind.

The sound of several people talking could be heard faintly in the crowd.

Xiaoci: "Fortunately, a young man appeared out of nowhere and split the door plaque, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous!"

Jiang Yi: "Oh? Did you see the man's face clearly? He saved Li'er, we should thank him."

Xiaoci shook her head: "That person was too fast, I didn't see clearly."

Jiang Lin turned his head and looked at Jiang Li: "Where's Li'er? Did Li'er see what that person looked like?"

Jiang Li said seriously: "No, he was wearing a mask."

Jiang Yi sighed: "What a pity. I wanted to thank this benefactor."

…

The next day, Jiang Li embarked on the journey to Bailu Academy.

Apart from holidays, Bailu Academy is closed on the 15th of every month, when students can return home. This means that Jiang Li will have to wait half a month before returning.

Jiang Zhong felt reluctant when he thought about not being able to see his daughter for half a month, and stuffed handfuls of banknotes into Jiang Li's hands.

These were the private savings he had saved with great difficulty, and today he gave them all to Jiang Li.

Although Qin Fengwan was reluctant to let Jiang Li leave, she did not show it on her face. After all, it was she who suggested that Jiang Li go to Bailu Academy, and she was not a person who would go back on her words.

After saying goodbye to her family, Jiang Li got on the carriage, with Xiao Ci accompanying her.

The carriage wobbled as it left Kyoto and headed towards Bailu Academy. It took two hours to finally reach its destination.

Since deciding to let Jiang Li come to Bailu Academy, Jiang Zhong had people take care of everything.

After arriving at the academy, the master and servant came to their residence. Those who studied in Bailu Academy were either rich or noble, and everyone had their own room.

After returning to the room, Xiao Ci packed her luggage, while Jiang Li followed the boy from the academy to find the dean. After reporting to the dean, they went to the lecture hall with the dean.

The lecture hall was already full of people at that time.

This class was taught by Master Zhang, an old man with a stubborn personality, who would not indulge them just because of their status.

What Master Zhang hated most was being late. If students were late, they would be punished by copying the Book of Songs ten times. In order to avoid being punished, students would arrive at the academy half an hour early.

"Brother Xiao, wake up quickly, the dean is here!"

After seeing the dean, the classmate sitting behind Xiao Heng quickly reminded him.

Xiao Heng, who was lying on the desk, changed his sleeping position and continued sleeping without hearing what he said.

"Brother Xiao, Brother Xiao, wake up!"

The man called out twice again, but Xiao Heng still didn't respond. When he wanted to remind him again, the dean had already walked into the lecture hall with Jiang Li.

The hall suddenly became silent, and everyone looked at Jiang Li beside the dean.

The dean was an old man with a kind face. He looked at everyone with a smile and said, "Let me introduce you to your new classmate, Jiang Li."

As soon as the word "Jiang Li" came out, Xiao Heng, who was sleeping on the desk, suddenly sat up straight as if he had a seizure!
