Dean Cen really liked this little guy. He pointed to Gu Yan and Gu Xiaoshun beside him and said, "Come, come, this is Big Brother Gu Yan and this is Big Brother Xiaoshun. You met them last time."
"Yes, I remember. h.e.l.lo, Big Brother Yan. h.e.l.lo, Big Brother Xiaoshun." Little Jing Kong had traveled over mountains and rivers with his bad brother-in-law, learning his acting skills perfectly, without missing a beat.
Dean Cen was about to introduce Gu Jiao when Little Jing Kong cutely interjected, "I know him! Uncle Dean showed him to me last time. h.e.l.lo, Big Brother Liulang!"
Gu Jiao maintained a cool demeanor, asking, "Hmm, doesn’t your academy have cla.s.ses?"
Little Jing Kong replied, "Our cla.s.ses are over!"
The last period in the morning for the prodigy cla.s.s was self-study, and a prodigy like Little Jing Kong had his ways to get the teacher to let him out.
Coincidentally, Su Xue was pa.s.sing by their cla.s.sroom, so he followed her here.
"This is..." Mu Qingchen looked at Little Jing Kong strangely.
Su Xue explained, "He is the younger brother of my roommate, whom I mentioned to you."
Although she didn"t live in the dormitory, Little Jing Kong would sometimes go to their cla.s.sroom to find Xiao Heng, so she and Jing Kong were somewhat acquainted.
Little Jing Kong trotted up to Gu Jiao and asked, "Big Brother Liulang, can I sit with you?"
Su Xue frowned, "Little guy, weren"t you going to sit with me?"
Little Jing Kong spread his hands and sighed, "But you already have a brother. I don"t have one yet."
Su Xue: "..."
Little Jing Kong sat between Gu Xiaoshun and Gu Jiao. Since he was small, he could easily fit in without taking up much s.p.a.ce.
Mu Qingchen looked at Su Xue with a serious expression, clearly indicating that this wasn"t a place where a woman should be.
Su Xue, confident and unyielding, said, "I brought Jing Kong here! I have to take him back later!"
She had missed the last event due to other commitments and was determined not to miss this one.
"No problem." Dean Cen smiled, "Mu Tong, please find a seat for Young Miss Su."
"Yes." Mu Tong responded, placing a mat beside Mu Qingchen for Su Xue.
Su Xue cheerfully sat down next to Mu Qingchen, saying, "Fourth brother!"
With her own brother here, who could say anything?
Moreover, a female teacher from the neighboring Pingyang Academy was also present, so there was no need to be overly concerned about gender separation in this situation.
The fourth match began, with Songshan Academy facing Zilin Academy.
Both academies had very strong polo teams, and the match was highly technical and evenly matched.
There were no jaw-dropping moments; the game was straightforward, with both sides committing a few minor fouls and incurring penalties.
The spectators seemed a bit perplexed.
While the match was exciting, there was a nagging feeling that something was off.
On the opposite stand, Lord Duke seemed relieved as if he had just survived a terrible ordeal.
Mu Ruxin found it strange. If the horse made him uncomfortable, couldn’t he just stop looking at it? Yet he continued to stare.
Though the horse was indeed eye-catching.
At this moment, Lord Duke was still looking, but his gaze was not directed at the polo field below. Instead, he was staring at the opposite stands.
The opposite stands were occupied by the teachers and students of Pingyang Academy and Tianqiong Academy.
Who was Lord Duke looking at?
Mu Qingchen?
In the seventh chukka of the fourth match, a minor incident occurred. A player from Songshan Academy claimed that his hand was struck by the opponent"s mallet, which the opponent vehemently denied. The referee ultimately ruled that the player from Zilin Academy had committed a foul.
Songshan Academy scored a flag from the penalty, tying the score at thirteen to thirteen.
It was the final break.
"Who do you think will win?" Mu Chuan asked.
Yuan Xiao replied, "Probably Zilin Academy, their offense is quite strong."
Zhao Wei added, "But they keep committing fouls, they"ve already been penalized three times."
Gu Yan commented, "Songshan Academy is lying."
Yuan Xiao and Zhao Wei were both taken aback, "Really?"
Just as those words were spoken, Mu Tong hurriedly came up from the pavilion where he had gone to fetch water, "Not good! Songshan Academy and Zilin Academy have started fighting!"
Conflicts on the field have always been common throughout history. Since everyone was just sitting around, they decided to go up to the pavilion to see what was happening.
Mu Tong happened to be there, which is why he brought the news in time. The rest of the people in the stands were still unaware.
The teacher from Pingyang Academy was puzzled, wondering why everyone had left.
Dean Cen, Little Jing Kong, Gu Yan, Su Xue, and Mu Chuan stayed behind.
Mu Chuan was responsible for keeping an eye on Su Xue and Little Jing Kong.
When they arrived at the pavilion, the two sides were already fighting fiercely, and the guards couldn"t intervene.
Polo was a sport only the wealthy could afford. Children from humble backgrounds couldn"t even buy the horses used in polo. These affluent children had mostly trained in martial arts from a young age under the guidance of esteemed masters, making them far superior to ordinary guards.
Gu Jiao and Mu Qingchen stepped forward and each took hold of one of the fighting polo players, separating them.
Yuan Xiao and Zhao Wei helped the guards restrain the players that were thrown over.
The scene was extremely chaotic. Once everyone was separated, some still wanted to continue fighting.
Mu Qingchen shouted sternly, "Stop it right now! If anyone moves again, I won"t be so lenient!"
Only then did both sides quiet down.
Just when they thought it was all over, the wall behind them, which had been repeatedly struck with internal force during the fight, finally gave way with a loud crash!
Behind the wall were the servants preparing tea for the pavilion and the entire stands, numbering about twenty to thirty people.
Mu Qingchen"s fists clenched tightly, making cracking sounds, "Look at the mess you"ve made!"
The polo players from Songshan Academy and Zilin Academy stood there in shame.
They had only intended to fight each other and hadn"t meant to harm innocent people!
Gu Jiao glanced at the polo players from both sides with a calm expression, "Come over and help rescue them."
Everyone began the rescue efforts.
The prolonged absence of the polo players naturally drew attention to the field, and soon the entire field knew about the accident in the pavilion.
Lingbo Academy had a physician, but only one, who promptly arrived. However, it was clear that one physician wasn"t enough.
Gu Jiao said to Yuan Xiao, "Go find Gu Xiaoshun and have him bring my first aid kit. Then find some people to bring a few stretchers!"
With so many people injured, she wasn"t sure if the supplies in the first aid kit would be enough. If only——
"Got it!"
Yuan Xiao agreed and immediately went to carry out her orders.
Gu Jiao then said to Mu Qingchen, "There"s not enough s.p.a.ce inside the hall. I need an open area."
"Alright." Mu Qingchen, along with Zhao Wei, called several guards from Lingbo Academy to cordon off a large area outside the hall with ropes.
Gu Xiaoshun arrived quickly.
Gu Jiao’s first aid kit had been prepared the day before and placed in Gu Yan’s basket, along with some medicines that Gu Yan needed.
“Liulang! Here’s the stuff!” Gu Xiaoshun stepped over the rope and came to Gu Jiao’s side.
By this time, two injured people had already been pulled from the rubble and were lying on the open ground. Both had leg injuries that were not too severe but required immediate attention.
Gu Jiao reached for the first aid kit but found her little medicine chest instead, "Huh? You brought the medicine chest?"
Gu Xiaoshun asked, "Wasn"t this what you packed last night?"
Gu Jiao shook her head, “I packed the first aid kit.”
“Oh, I also brought the first aid kit!” Gu Xiaoshun handed over the first aid kit he was holding in his other hand.
He then thought for a moment and said, "Maybe Gu Yan packed it?"Raz P."s Thoughts

PLEASE CHECK OUT OUR NEW PROJECT:
Description:
In the suspenseful supernatural novel “Records of Mortals,” Jiang Baiyan, once a solitary and impoverished youth, finds refuge in the Shi family of Chang’an due to his extraordinary bloodline. With his clear and captivating peach blossom eyes, this seemingly innocent young man conceals a fanatical and malevolent lunatic within. Destined to succ.u.mb to darkness amidst hardship and degradation, he becomes a harbinger of chaos.
When Shi Dai suddenly transmigrates, she takes on the role of the Shi family’s young lady, the one who subjects him to countless trials, eventually leading to her demise.
The twist? She never got to finish reading the novel.
From what she knew of the plot, Jiang Baiyan was just a silent, timid, and often bullied pitiable character.
***
Jiang Baiyan had never encountered someone like Shi Dai.
After he had slaughtered all the evil creatures in the garden, the blood-stained young man, exuding a murderous aura, approached her step by step, his lips curling into a malicious smile, "Scared?"
Shi Dai responded, “You’re really amazing! I applaud you until I spin like a spiral and fly around the moon three hundred times! And also——you have dimples when you smile!"
Jiang Baiyan: ...?
—
After seeing her at a lantern festival with another man, Jiang Baiyan lowered his eyes, his fingers twirling her hair. He said in a mocking and sinister tone, "The mansion in the western suburbs...if I hide you there, no one will find you, right?"
Shi Dai replied, "Does it come with meals and lodging? Can I sleep in everyday? Oh, and your cooking is the best!"
Jiang Baiyan: ...?
—
Jiang Baiyan was supposed to dislike her, even hate her, but as their separation drew near, his eyes turned red and he grabbed her sleeve, pleading, "Don"t abandon me, alri—”
Shi Dai responded, "Alright, alright, I’ll only have you. Mwah."
Jiang Baiyan: ...?
He hasn"t finished his lines yet though…
