Chapter 94 After School (2) [VIP]
Hearing the sound, Song Yan looked up and saw two kites being pierced by an arrow, and both of them fell down like flying butterflies.
The students who were watching were all stunned. They had no idea that Mr. Qu, who was usually gentle and elegant, had such martial arts skills...
Song Yan opened her mouth for a long time before she asked, "Sir, when did you learn to shoot an arrow through a hundred paces?"
Mu Wanxian was also bewildered and surprised, her gaze following the kite as it landed on the ground. "I only knew that you could write, but I didn't know you could also play the bow..."
"What a coincidence! I just found out about this today too." A low voice came from the side. The two turned their heads and saw that the person who spoke was Miss Chu.
Chu Qingluo was confused. If she had known that the master had this trick, she would have let him carry a bow with him when he went out. It would have been better than being abducted by bandits.
"Even Miss Chu..." Thinking that even she didn't know the Master's true depth, Song Yan couldn't help but sigh, "The Master truly is a hidden talent, capable of anything."
After pondering the situation, Mu Wanxian came to a conclusion and leaned in closer to ask, "So Miss Chu intentionally missed the target just now to test your archery skills?"
She shook her head calmly and replied firmly: "No, I really can't."
It seems Miss Chu really knows nothing about archery. I overestimated her before...
Song Yan coughed and chuckled, fearing she might upset her, so she quickly tried to smooth things over for Miss Mu: "Why would an ordinary girl learn archery? Qing Luo can at least hit the tree trunk. I'll be embarrassed later."
She didn't care about the outcome in the first place, so she turned her head and watched the gentleman walking towards her elegantly and stopping calmly beside her.
"Teacher, you are truly amazing! I am humbled by your skill," Chu Qingluo bowed in admiration, looking at him with new eyes. "If I had known this, I would have asked you to bring a bow with me to the training ground."
Nearly half an hour passed like this, and everyone watched helplessly as the kites were shot down by the master, one after another, with every arrow hitting its target. The winner was already clear.
If this continues, the gentleman will shoot all the kites by himself...
"All these kites were shot down by the master. It's too boring. Let's try something else." Seeing this, Mu Wanxian ran over happily. Her eyes were bright and she thought of something else to do. "Song Yan just thought of an idea and it suddenly seemed very interesting."
"We can sit around the stone and rotate the arrow. The person it points to must tell the truth." Song Yan pointed to the stone beside her and looked at the other girls who were already seated, eager to try.
"Qingluo, do you want to try it?"
The implication is that the person being asked should not lie.
This was not unusual among students, but if the teacher was included... Chu Qingluo narrowed his eyes slightly, pondered for a few moments, and suddenly became interested.
She raised her eyebrows lightly, revealing a cunning look: "Sir... try it?"
"Qingluo, sir, just forget it..." Feeling that the situation was getting increasingly amiss, Mu Wanxian panicked and grabbed her sleeves, covering her lips with her sleeves, saying, "Speaking the truth in front of you, sir, is so terrifying..."
"You're almost finished learning and ready to go, why are you still afraid of him?" Chu Qingluo replied, turning back to smile at the teacher, as if she had already made a plan in her mind, "Once you leave the Music Bureau, you will no longer have the chance to play with the teacher."
"Qingluo is absolutely right..." Mu Wanxian looked back at the master hesitantly, calmed herself down, and reluctantly called the master over, "Sir, come and tell the truth with us!"
So, all the students sat around a stone, and Mr. Qu was among them.
Song Yan raised her finger and turned the feather arrow. The next moment, the arrow was stared at by many people until it stopped.
The rotating feather arrow slowly stopped, and the person it pointed at was none other than her close friend, Mu Wanxian, with whom she spent every day.
Song Yan frowned and pondered for a few moments. Suddenly, something occurred to her. She asked suspiciously, "Mu Wanxian, did you steal the cakes I put on the table a few days ago?"
"Yes..." Mu Wanxian pursed her lips and squeezed out a word, her face full of regret. She quickly swore, "Next time... next time I will definitely leave you a bite."
As soon as the question and answer were completed, the arrow started to spin again, and the place where it stopped pointed directly at Meng Ying'er, who had remained silent.
Everyone present knew that this little girl Meng had always harbored a secret crush on the master. Mu Wanxian seized the opportunity and asked, "Ying'er, tell me something you've done that embarrassed the master the most."
"When we first arrived, I took Qingluo to peek at the teacher, but we were caught by the teacher. I made him angry and was punished..." Meng Ying'er answered in a soft voice, her eyes lightly glancing at the beautiful figure beside her, and then quietly retracted.
"But the punishment was all taken by Qingluo alone, while I escaped unscathed."
After briefly speaking, the girl looked at the arrow on the stone and flicked it lightly.
This time the feather arrow was pointing at Miss Chu.
Fate plays tricks on people. The more you don't want to run into someone, the more you run into them... Meng Ying'er was silent for a moment, lowering her head slightly, and said with regret: "Qingluo, do you regret meeting me?"
“Never.”
He answered without thinking, looked at the girl, and her eyes lit up slightly, then he turned away, not wanting to talk to her anymore.
As soon as the arrow stopped, the surrounding air cooled.
, which happened to point to Mr.
"Since you are a gentleman, I will ask a question that no one dares to ask, so that you can all think about it." Then he looked at me with a smile and paused leisurely.
"Teacher, have you ever used public vengeance to vent your anger in class?"
There was silence at this time, and everyone had different expressions. They were afraid, but also wanted to see through the gentleman's expression. They just felt that Miss Chu's question was very subtle.
Ran Qingrong remained calm and composed. Qu Hanjin remained silent for a long time before he replied solemnly, "Yes."
I never knew Mr. Qu would do such a mean thing. It's totally unexpected...
The people beside the arrow looked at each other, suppressed a few whispers, and felt that the master was a very petty person.
The arrow was gently turned up again. This time, the girls stared at the direction where it landed, wanting to know who the next poor guy would be.
The arrow stopped very quickly. Before anyone could react, it stopped in front of Mu Wanxian.
There was a faint sound of sighs coming from all around, and only Miss Mu was left standing there in a daze, looking frightened and confused.
The young master's face was solemn. After a moment of inward reflection, he asked in a stern voice, "Tell me, Master, which students have walked along the path beside the mansion?"
The women all lowered their heads and said nothing. Mu Wanxian trembled and looked at the beautiful girl pleadingly, and suddenly she felt like crying but had no tears.
"How could you ask such a question, sir..." Chu Qingluo interrupted him knowingly and pretended to be relaxed to explain the situation. "No, no, this question doesn't count!"
The gentleman was indeed a bit too much. She was the one who told him the secret path. How could he force her to ask like this...
Qu Hanjin didn't ask any more questions. After a moment's thought, he asked again, "When I was punished, the handwriting on the copy was different. Was it you who wrote it alone?"
This question seems even more terrifying than the previous one...
Looking at Miss Chu again in panic, Mu Wanxian froze, her eyes wide open in confusion.
"Cough cough cough..." Chu Qingluo coughed violently and almost choked herself.
I really don't understand what the teacher is thinking all day long, always making fun of students' embarrassing things...
"Today is quite strange. I always feel uncomfortable in my throat." She stood up suddenly and pretended to be sick under the grateful gaze of everyone. She gently tugged at the master's robe and said with pity, "Master, please finish your questions quickly and take me back to the side hall..."
"Not feeling well?" Her brows suddenly furrowed, and Qu Hanjin looked back with concern. He apologized lightly and went back to the villa with her.
"Everyone, please continue to have fun. I will be leaving now."
After they walked far away and could no longer see the girl playing around behind them, Chu Qingluo sighed softly, feeling that she had almost ruined the fun.
She glanced helplessly and muttered after a while: "It turns out that teachers can't play with students..."
After thinking it over, Qu Hanjin still didn't feel that there was anything wrong. He frowned and thought deeply, and replied in confusion: "I didn't ask anything excessive. I just wanted to clear up some confusion in my heart."
Thinking that the teacher would never know the student's worries, she gave up in melancholy and casually gave a few words of advice.
"Sir, please don't try to solve my doubts. There are some doubts that you will never be able to solve in your lifetime..." The words suddenly paused, and Chu Qingluo suddenly saw a figure standing in front of the side courtyard, and her phoenix eyes couldn't help but focus.
"Why is Eunuch Tao here?"
The eunuch beside Emperor Xuanlong waited solemnly, the whisk in his hand swaying slightly in the wind. As he watched them approach, his cold face, which showed no joy or sadness, became more gentle.
Eunuch Tao has always only conveyed the words of Emperor Daning. This time, he must have come on the orders of His Majesty.
She followed the master and walked slowly to the corridor. Seeing Eunuch Tao bowing his head, she silently returned the greeting with the master.
His sharp eyes locked onto the coldness in front of him. Eunuch Tao lowered his voice and spoke meaningfully, "I'm sorry to bother you, sir. I haven't seen you play chess in the past few days. His Majesty has asked me to ask you if it's because of the Ninth Prince's mischief that day that you..."
The eunuch didn't say anything further, thinking that Mr. Qu was so talented and would definitely understand everything.
"Not really," Qu Hanjin's clear eyes sparkled with joy as he glanced at the charming girl beside him and replied calmly, "I've had a beautiful woman by my side recently, and I want to spend more time with her."
Eunuch Tao continued in a deep voice, conveying His Majesty's intention clearly: "His Majesty has said that you must go to Guangcheng Palace tonight and bring Miss Chu with you."
After hearing this, she was stunned, not understanding why His Majesty wanted to call her along...
"Your humble servant obeys your order." Qu Han bowed respectfully, knowing that he would have to go to the palace to see the emperor tonight.
In the past, he often went into the palace to play chess with His Majesty, but recently, since she returned home, he no longer entered the palace.
Your Majesty may be feeling lonely again...
The emperor's will had been conveyed, and Eunuch Tao respectfully withdrew: "Since Mr. Qu has been informed, this old servant will take his leave."
The sky was gloomy and the wind was blowing hard, as if snow was about to fall.
Chu Qingluo returned to the elegant hall steadily. He thought about it but to no avail, and felt vaguely uneasy. He felt that the summons from His Majesty was not as simple as playing chess.
She was silent for a moment, then whispered, "His Majesty has suddenly summoned you. The situation may have changed. He must have some considerations."
