Chapter 635 Jiaojiao's Wrath (Third Update)
A pageboy?
Canglan Girls' Academy?
Was it a woman who brought Xiao Jingkong to the Yan Kingdom?
Like Gu Jiao, Nan Shi Niang also caught these two important pieces of information. She frowned and said, "Could Jing Kong have been kidnapped?"
Those who can live in Canglan Academy are either female students or female teachers, and Linglong Pavilion... sounds especially like a female student's dormitory, so it is more likely that it is a female student.
None of the women Gu Jiao knew, including Nan Shi Niang, met this criterion.
"Could it be... Mo Qianxue?" Nan Shi Niang asked. She had been to Biyue Hutong so many times that she had naturally heard of Hua Xiyao and Mo Qianxue.
Mo Qianxue had visited the Yan Kingdom.
But Gu Jiao quickly dismissed this guess: "She went to Yan with the Prince Consort Huangfu Zheng and sneaked into Yan from Chen territory, which was not a legitimate means. She shouldn't be able to get into the academy in Shengdu."
“If she can’t, then Hua Xiyao definitely can’t.” Madam Nan frowned. “It can’t be Princess Xinyang… Princess Xinyang is a mother herself, how could she go to the academy to study?”
Whether she studies or not is secondary. Princess Xinyang is a princess of the Zhao Kingdom. The nature of her visit to the Yan Kingdom has changed. Openly, it is a political visit, and rumors are bound to spread in Shengdu.
If she were to visit secretly, she would need to conceal her identity. Was she going to the academy in the inner city because she felt she hadn't been exposed fast enough?
Finally, and most importantly—
Gu Jiao said, "If it's Princess Xinyang, Jingkong won't run away."
The little guy even brought his luggage and the Black Fire Pearl; he must have sneaked out in the middle of the night.
Black Fire Pearl...
Gu Jiao murmured.
The Black Fire Pearl was a hidden weapon she made for Xiao Heng to protect himself. How could Xiao Jingkong have it?
Could it be that Xiao Heng has come too?
No, he can't come; she took his admission documents.
So... Xiao Jingkong secretly took Xiao Heng's Black Fire Pearl in Zhao Kingdom. Xiao Jingkong is incredibly audacious, and this is something he wouldn't do.
Gu Jiao looked at the note that read "My pageboy" again. The fact that Xiao Jingkong was able to escape from her meant that this person was not a good person.
Otherwise, if he were a good person, would Xiao Jingkong have run away?
Xiao Jingkong is a grateful and kind child. Even when the old man who took him out of the city got injured, he knew to bring the old man back to treat him.
If that person is the one who saved Jingkong from dire straits, Jingkong will not abandon her.
As her thoughts raced, Gu Jiao had already conjured up a series of despicable acts in her mind: the traffickers selling children from afar, employing child laborers, depriving them of food and water, exploiting them relentlessly, and beating and scolding them at the drop of a hat!
"Canglan Girls' Academy, right? Very good!"
Gu Jiao clenched her fist, and the paper ball turned to ashes!
Woman, you will pay the price!
...
Early the next morning, Gu Yan and Gu Xiaoshun both learned that Xiao Jingkong had been "abducted" to Yan State. It was Nan Shi Niang who told them not to ask.
“He never mentioned it. I think he was probably frightened and didn’t want to recall it.”
Nan Shi Niang even managed to find a rational explanation for Xiao Jingkong's evasive words. It must be said that Nan Shi Niang does indeed have a certain talent in terms of imagination.
"Okay," Gu Xiaoshun obediently replied.
Only Gu Yan looked suspicious. That little monk? Was he frightened?
However, Gu Yan was very weak after all, and after muttering a few words to himself, he drifted off to sleep again.
Xiao Jingkong also got up and was practicing his boxing in the backyard. After finishing his boxing, he sat down and meditated for a while.
Gu Jiao already knew that the little chicken monkey he mentioned was Marquis Xuanping.
Gu Jiao was puzzled. During the time when Marquis Xuanping was recuperating in Bishui Hutong with his leg in a cast, how did he manage to get Xiao Jingkong to practice martial arts?
Gu Jiao looked at the fierce and imposing Xiao Jingkong, and then at the old man who hadn't woken up from the drug all night.
Well... he taught quite well.
After breakfast, Xiao Jingkong stayed at home, while Gu Jiao and Gu Xiaoshun went to the academy for class.
Gu Jiao used to take Xiao Jingkong to school, but now it's Xiao Jingkong who sees Gu Jiao off to school, which he finds quite novel.
But he felt lonely after Gu Jiao left.
Suddenly, he turned around and saw the big black horse in the backyard!
The horse king, who was grazing, suddenly shuddered!
An ominous premonition welled up in my heart; another treacherous subject was plotting against me!
Gu Jiao went to Mingxin Hall and, as usual, walked to the last row of seats near the back door.
The last row was practically empty; if anyone was sitting there, it was her and Mu Qingchen.
Mu Qingchen didn't come today, but the back row was full.
Oh, wait, there's one seat reserved.
Everyone in the back row turned to look at Gu Jiao, waved to her, and flashed enthusiastic smiles, even showing their teeth in perfect unison.
Gu Jiao, who had already recognized Zhou Tong, was face-blind all afternoon!
Gu Jiao looked around and found that apart from the back row, only the first row was empty.
She took a deep breath, resisting the urge to throw out the group of guys who had run over from the first row to fight her for the last row of seats, and walked over and sat down expressionlessly.
Gu Jiao raised her hand, about to ask someone to lend her some homework, when Zhou Tong turned around and placed a stack of homework on her desk with a smile: "I've done them all for you!"
Gu Jiao: "..."
At noon, Gu Jiao went to eat.
"Brother Xiao, it's all done for you!"
In the afternoon, Gu Jiao went archery.
"Brother Xiao, I've brought you the arrow!"
"Brother Xiao, the annotations are done!"
"Brother Xiao, I've brought you the toilet paper!"
Toilet paper? Why is there still toilet paper?!
Gu Jiao, who just wanted to go back to her dormitory to put her cloak back in Mu Qingchen's closet, came out with a dark face!
Gu Jiao spent an indescribable day at the academy; dealing with these clingy guys was more tiring than attending classes.
When school finally ended, Gu Jiao was practically steaming.
Gu Jiao grabbed her book bag and walked away without waiting for Gu Xiaoshun.
Just as she stepped out of the academy gate, a carriage stopped in front of her, but Gu Jiao paid no attention to it.
Unexpectedly, a girl in pink jumped down from the carriage and called out to her in a spoiled manner, "Xiao Liulang!"
She is Mu Qingchen's younger sister, Su Xue.
Gu Jiao glanced at her and continued walking forward: "Your brother isn't here."
Su Xue caught up with Gu Jiao: "I know he's not here. He went to Shengdu on business. I'm not looking for him; I'm here to find you."
"Is something the matter?" Gu Jiao asked.
"Can't I come to see you if there's nothing wrong?" Su Xue pouted.
Why do these lines seem so familiar?
Gu Jiao gave her a strange look and said seriously, "No."
Su Xue choked, her steps faltering for a moment.
Does this person even know how to speak? Does he/she even know how to speak?
Gu Jiao walked ahead. Gu Jiao was tall for a woman and walked quickly, making it a bit difficult for Su Xue to keep up.
Su Xue gasped, "Could you...could you slow down a bit? I came all this way to find you, couldn't you wait for me? How can you be as heartless as my roommate?"
Gu Jiao stopped.
"Your roommate?"
Gu Jiao finally remembered. She looked at Su Xue and asked, "You said last time that your new roommate was mute and had a little black baby with her?"
Su Xue nodded and said, "That's right!"
Gu Jiao paused for a moment, then asked, "What's the child's name?"
"Xiao Hei?" Su Xue blinked and sighed helplessly, "How am I supposed to know his name?"
Gu Jiao glanced at her: "Aren't you sharing a dormitory with them?"
Su Xue muttered, "But I don't live in the academy's dormitory."
That's the truth. Her home is in the inner city. Why would she leave her luxurious mansion to live in a dormitory? Is she crazy?
As expected of siblings, they have the exact same habit of not living in the dormitory.
Gu Jiao added, "You must know that woman's name, right?"
Su Xue instantly exploded: "Xiao Liulang! You've gone too far! You actually asked me about another woman's name! Do you have your eye on her too?"
"What are you thinking? I don't even know her." Gu Jiao was completely baffled. Was Su Xue's thinking so unpredictable? How did she come up with this idea? How could she be interested in a stranger? And a woman at that?
Su Xue snorted, "Then why are you asking about her! Oh, I know, you've also heard about her beauty, so you're trying to curry favor with her like those lecherous men? Let me tell you, there's no hope! Countless young masters from great kingdoms haven't even caught a glimpse of her, you... you should just give up!"
What kind of nonsense is this?
Gu Jiao said calmly, "I'm looking for her because I have a grudge against her."
"Really?" Su Xue's eyes lit up, then her expression changed in an instant. "What grudge do you have?"
Thinking of the abused Xiao Jingkong, Gu Jiao's eyes flashed with murderous intent as she coldly said, "An irreconcilable feud!"
In a dormitory of Linglong Pavilion at Canglan Women's Academy, someone sneezed three times!
Su Xue said happily, "Then I'll take you to find her!"
I'm trying to adjust my sleep schedule recently, so the update time will be irregular. Please check back every afternoon for updates.
