Wen Chuyu felt as if everything around her had stopped, and the emotions hidden in her eyes couldn't help but surface before her eyes.
This magical feeling only comes when I see her.
"Xiao Jiu, you're so beautiful!" Wen Longting swallowed hard.
“She has always been beautiful!” Wen Longxiu said with a smile.
Ji Jiuying then noticed the people outside the door. "Xiaoting, Axiu, Chuyu, what brings you here?"
“You have no idea how many people came looking for you after the Genius Competition. Yesterday, my older brother and I went to Huanan Street to look for you. You have no idea how terrifying the scene was!” Wen Longting said incessantly.
"My elder brother guessed that you definitely wouldn't be staying on Huanan Street anytime soon, so he came to the Imperial Preceptor's residence to find you today!"
Ji Jiuying looked at Wen Chuyu and smiled, "It still has to be Chuyu!"
"But how did you find this place?"
Wen Chuyu's eyes returned to their usual indifference as she smiled and responded to Ji Jiuying.
Wen Longting and her companions had come to the gate of the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion with a try-it-out mentality, but they did not expect to encounter the man who set up the formation for the genius competition at the gate.
On a whim, she went up to the man and called out to him. To her surprise, the man agreed without hesitation.
Yin Han knew that these people were the mistress's close friends, so he took them to the neighboring courtyard.
At first, they were a little wary when they saw that they were not entering the Imperial Preceptor's residence but the courtyard next door, until they saw that the person who opened the door was Qingling.
"So that's how it is~" Ji Jiuying gave Gong Mingyue a big thumbs up, but she was wrong, because this was just Yin Han's idea...
"By the way, what do you want from me?" Ji Jiuying asked, puzzled.
"Miaoqing and her master came looking for you on the day of the competition, but they were taken away by the Imperial Preceptor before they could speak with you!"
Ji Jiuying recalled what Chu Yu had told her before: because of the Fourth Princess's instigation, Shen Miaoqing had fallen into deep self-blame and once thought that it was all her fault that she had dragged her down.
"How is Miaoqing?" Ji Jiuying asked.
"She was relieved after learning that you were alright, and even said she would thank you when you came to Star Academy," Wen Longxiu said with a smile.
"Xiao Jiu, this is your master's admission token. He said he hopes you can go to Star Academy." Wen Chuyu took out a bronze token and handed it to Ji Jiuying.
Wen Chuyu looked at Ji Jiuying expectantly, afraid that she would refuse.
"Does this token grant anyone entry to Star Academy?"
"Yes." Wen Chuyu was taken aback, not understanding why she asked that, but he still answered.
"Then I'll accept it. Please thank Vice Dean Shen for me."
About fifteen minutes later, a commotion broke out in the courtyard.
A group of people were huddled together, fiddling with something.
Before long, the aroma of hot pot wafted through the courtyard. The Imperial Preceptor's residence and Ji Jiuying's courtyard were separated by a wall, so the aroma of hot pot could be smelled from the neighboring Imperial Preceptor's residence.
"Can you smell that? What's that smelling so good over next door?"
"Of course we can smell it. Shall we go take a look?"
That's exactly what I was thinking!
······
Ji Jiuying noticed two furtive, barely noticeable figures on the wall, but she ignored them.
Two figures on the wall noticed that Yingyue was also there and exchanged a glance.
At this moment, Yingyue also noticed the person on the wall. She glanced at Ji Jiuying and, seeing that she was still focused on making the dipping sauce, quietly left.
Ji Jiuying glanced at his departing figure before continuing to make the dipping sauce!
"What are you two doing?" Yingyue asked, looking at the two figures on the wall.
"Yingyue, what are the mistresses doing? Why does it smell so good?" Yin Han swallowed as he spoke.
"I'm not really sure either, but I heard them say it's called something like hot pot."
"Hot pot?" Wuxin asked, puzzled.
"You guys want to go and try it too?"
Yin Han and Wu Xin nodded sharply at Ying Yue. Ying Yue smiled sinisterly, and before they could react, a gust of wind swept past.
"Bang!"
Ji Jiuying and the others were startled! They thought there was an assassin! They all looked at the two people lying on the ground!
Isn't this... the Imperial Advisor's bodyguard?
Deep cold; ...
Unintentional; ...
Seeing Yingyue sitting there watching them as if nothing had happened, the two cursed Yingyue a thousand times in their hearts. Their lifelong reputation was completely ruined.
Everything in the courtyard was seen by Gong Mingyue, who had returned not long ago.
"Since you're here, sit down and eat with us!" Ji Jiuying said indifferently.
"Thank you, Miss Ji!" The two exchanged a glance, dusted themselves off, and unceremoniously found a place to sit down.
Seeing that it was almost time, Ji Jiuying patiently taught them how to eat.
"Mmm~ Master, this hot pot is so delicious!" Haitang said while eating, and the others nodded vigorously in agreement.
Their master is amazing!
"Eat more if you like it! There's still plenty here!" Ji Jiuying said with a smile.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Yin Han and Wu Xin would snatch whichever piece of meat Ying Yue picked up.
Shadow Moon; ······
Seeing this, Yingyue quickly picked up a piece of meat and put it in her mouth! "Ouch~ It's so hot, it's burning me!"
"Serves you right for being so impatient!" Yin Han added insult to injury.
When Leng Shuang and the others saw that their usually serious instructor had also been put down like this, they couldn't help but chuckle to themselves.
Yingyue shot them a piercing look, and they immediately lowered their heads and started eating.
Wen Longting and the others found it too horrifying; how could the Imperial Advisor's guards do something so childish for food?
