Xiao Yusheng was suddenly shocked and raised his head to look at me.

He probably didn't expect that I would ask him directly about Nan Zhenyi's origin. Although this kind of question seemed very ordinary, it seemed like a taboo to them. After all, Nan Zhenyi, as the head of Xishan Academy, was no longer as simple as a senior brother, an elder, and a head of the mountain.

He is more like a spiritual leader, or even a kind of reliance.

It is unimaginable for them to touch some of the things behind such a person.

I looked at him with a burning look: "Do you know?"

Xiao Yusheng seemed to be a little stupid. He sat there for a while without reaction. He just lowered his head and thought silently for a long time. After a while, he raised his head and looked at me, his eyes looking extremely entangled.

He said, "Miss, you shouldn't ask us about this."

“…”

"When we entered the academy, the master was already in the academy and had already completed his studies."

“…”

"He knows everything about us, but he knows nothing about his things."

“…”

"Master brother, he seems to be a brick and a door in the academy. Even if we have thought about why we are coming and where we will go in the future, Master brother, seems to be born in this academy, and no one thinks he will leave the academy."

“…”

When he said this, I was silent.

In fact, there are many mysteries around everyone, but when people are born with these mysteries, they will only feel that they are used to them and are the most natural existence, just like the identity of a mother is so important, but I never thought of asking her.

I sighed and said, "I know what you mean."

Xiao Yusheng looked at me: "Miss."

I raised my hand and said, "It's okay, just pretend I haven't asked this question."

But I still couldn't let go of his eyes when I saw him.

He just said that Nan Zhenyi was like a brick and a door of Xishan Academy, but in fact, a person like Nan Zhenyi was more like this mountain, carrying the entire academy. His movement was like the earth shaking the mountain. If the mountain moved, the academy collapsed.

Therefore, even Chabixing and Xiao Yusheng were so uneasy.

Qinghan said on the side: "Before everything is confirmed, random speculation will make people uneasy. Yusheng, tomorrow is the last discussion of the academy. You should go and do this first. As for the things you asked just now, it is just a small matter and will not affect the academy."

After all, he is his senior brother, and speaking is more effective than me. Although Xiao Yusheng was still uneasy, he finally nodded gently: "Yes."

Everyone became quiet for a while.

Xiao Yusheng held his hands together and placed them on the table. I heard his finger joints clattering, without saying a word. Although we, facing the table full of exquisite pastries, had no appetite at this time, I simply stuffed something into my mouth and drank tea and swallowed it.

Qinghan asked him: "What are you going to do today?"

Xiao Yusheng said: "Tomorrow is the last discussion, and the master did not explain how to arrange it, so there are many things to prepare today."

After saying that, he asked again: "Senior brother, you and the eldest lady are going to-----"

I thought about it and said, "Since you all have what you want to do today, I'll go and see Concubine He. She took the prince to live in my former home, right?"

Xiao Yusheng nodded.

I looked up at Qinghan: "You go with me."

He didn't say anything and nodded in agreement.

I turned to look at Zhesheng again, but saw that his face was already showing a embarrassed look, and then smiled: "You, just stay in the academy, but the library is very big, don't get lost in it."

As soon as he got my permission, he immediately said happily: "Thank you, Senior Sister Yan."

From the surprise expression he saw when he saw the library this morning, I knew that he must have left his soul there. After all, he was a student. How could he not see the hunting heart when he met such a rich treasure house? How could he have the intention to accompany us to visit Hepian?

But before leaving, I still reminded me: "This is Xishan Academy, which is different from Jixian Hall and the imperial court. You should talk less, don't go anywhere else, and don't have conflicts with others."

He nodded seriously.

I looked back at Qinghan: "Then let's go."

When I went up the mountain yesterday, it was already evening and I was eager to go up the mountain, so I didn’t have time to take a closer look at the scenery around me. Now, although it was already bright when I went down the mountain, I still couldn’t see it clearly because of the heavy fog. I turned around the narrow mountain path and I didn’t know how many times, and the ends of my hair were soaked in the fog, and finally arrived at the foot of the mountain.

There are still students guarding here.

When I went down the steps, because the fog was too strong and the stone steps were wet. In some places, some water had even gathered from night dew. He walked down, held me down the steps with one hand, and then led me to the right.

I followed him and smiled, "Do you know where I lived before?"

He paused, looked back at me, and continued to move forward without saying anything.

There were probably not many people coming to this road. I remembered that the road was relatively wide, but now it is a very narrow path that only two people can walk side by side. Moreover, the plants and trees on both sides are growing wildly, some are taller than people, and the branches that stretch out often have people's clothes hanging. As he walked, he reached out to push away.

I was a lot easier to walk behind, and when I saw that the tips of his ears were red, I smiled and said, "Did you, have you been to where I live after knowing who I am?"

"..." He was quiet for a while before he nodded.

"But at that time, shouldn't you hate me very much?"

“…”

He was quiet for a long time before saying, "I don't hate you, I just got angry with you and got angry."

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "..."

"Later, the fire went out, and of course I wouldn't hate you even more."

“…”

"After meeting you in Beijing, I actually understood everything. But at that time, there were too many words that could not be said. The teacher should have made an appointment to go to Beijing. Although he didn't tell me anything, I knew how important it was to go to Beijing like this and how big the impact it had. So at that time, I couldn't get too close to you."

Speaking of this, he stopped and looked back at me: "Are you angry with me at that time?"

One of my hands was still held in his palm by him. I could feel the slight sweat in his palm. Looking at the careful expression in his dark eyes, I smiled and shook my head gently.

He immediately smiled with relief, and said nothing, so he turned his head and continued to walk forward.

The wind blew through the lush grass around it, and the rustling sound came. The footsteps of the two people rang in such a quiet valley, giving a picture-like feeling.

After walking for a while, I finally arrived at the end of the valleys on both sides.

At the foot of the mountain ahead, a row of simple small houses came into view.

There were three simple bungalows, and a small courtyard was formed by bamboo fences outside. Although it was simple, it was cleaned up and the faint mist had not dissipated. From a distance, there was a mysterious feeling of a noble man living here, as quiet as a painting.

I couldn't help but stop.

People often say that things are changing, but at this time I really felt what things are changing. I was only ten years old when I left here. Now when I returned here, my daughter is already in her teens, but this small yard and those houses seem to be the same as when I left, without any change.

The years in between are just a moment when I left and turned back.

Feeling my hesitation, Qinghan glanced at me, said nothing, but just used a little more effort to grab my hand and whispered: "Come on."

I followed him.

The closer we get to the small yard, the fewer weeds around it. The outside of the yard is completely clean, and all the weeds have been swept away. Several guards were guarding outside. When they saw that it was us, they did not stop them.

I walked over and gently pushed open the wooden door.

I heard a creaking sound. At this moment, I almost thought I would see my mother wearing a simple blue cloth dress standing in the yard. She might bend over and sweep the floor, or wash the torn socks and lay them on her knees to mend them one by one. The sun shines on her face, and I, around her.

However, the door was pushed open, and the quiet little yard was empty.

I knew that what I just had just had was my fantasy, but at this moment, a little sourness that I couldn't help but emerged from the bottom of my heart.

Qinghan seemed to feel something. He looked at me standing at the door and didn't take a step inside for a long time, and gently stretched out his hand to my shoulder.

"It's fine."

“…”

"It's all over."

Yes, everything has passed, and even, it has been almost twenty years.

But there seems to be a wisp of my soul left in the past. It cannot return to me before solving some mysteries, and I am like a person with a broken soul.

Just as I was stunned, a familiar voice came from the room.

"who?"

I could hear it as soon as I heard it. It was Liu Li's voice.

Perhaps because she was not too nervous until she was guarded by the guards, she was not too nervous. A few children's murmurs came from the vacant window. She comforted her a few words, and then a sound of footsteps slowly approached and the door opened from the inside.

Liu Li leaned out and immediately opened his eyes wide when he saw that it was us.

"You, you-"
