The main road cut through the forest, and the winding cobblestone path followed the green grass, extending all the way to a bamboo forest not far away.
If one did not know about this place, they would not have noticed the existence of such a bamboo forest within the grounds of the Zephyr Academy.
Fan Jin brought Jun Xie here. Outside the courtyard, a youth about fifteen to sixteen years of age was sweeping the fallen leaves off the cobblestone path. When he saw Fan Jin and Jun Xie, he hurriedly went forward to welcome them.
"Elder Young Master, you've come?" The youth stared at Fan Jin with eyes full of adoration, and when his gaze turned to Jun Xie, it was tinged with suspicion.
"Ha, bringing a little one here to freeload. Is Little Zhuo having his meal?" Fan Jin generously announced his intentions, and the youth burst out in laughter. Fan Jin's frankness made it difficult for anyone to dislike him.
"Elder Young Master, please." The youth smiled as he opened the door, and gave Jun Xie a friendly smile.
The bamboo door was pushed open, and the wind chimes hanging at the corner of the door made a series of clear and melodious sounds in the elegant bamboo forest.
Fan Jin nodded, and led Jun Xie into the courtyard.
The courtyard was not big, and was rather small. The houses within the courtyard were not extravagant in the slightest, but rather simple. There were only three main houses, and in the small courtyard, a clear spring was flowing into a small pond. The water in the pond was so clear that one could see the bottom, and red koi fish swam at the bottom of the pond, creating ripples in the water.
With just one look, Jun Xie had fallen in love with the small courtyard, it was so quiet and peaceful.
As the two of them walked, a frail looking figure suddenly appeared in front of the bamboo house directly opposite the door.
It was a thin and frail looking youth. The green robes that should have fitted him well, looked rather large on him. That delicate looking face, was pale without a trace of blood, and even his lips were pale. He stood before the bamboo house. He was obviously a youth in his twenties, but he held a bamboo cane in his hand, leaning his entire body on the cane. The youth looked extremely frightening, but he had a pair of clear and bright eyes. That pair of attractive eyes were smiling, and it made people subconsciously forget that he was frail and sickly.
The moment Fan Jin saw the young man, he immediately strode forward and supported the young man's tottering body.
"The sun is so strong at noon. Why aren't you obediently staying in your room? Why are you standing here?" Fan Jin frowned in disapproval as he supported the youth as they walked into the bamboo hut, not forgetting to turn his head back to say to Jun Xie: "Jun Xie, you come in as well."
The youth turned his head to look at Jun Xie, his clear eyes tinged with curiosity. Although he was sizing her up, his gaze was filled with friendliness, and it did not make people feel that he was being rude.
Jun Wu Xie nodded slightly at the youth and followed him in.
The furnishings within the bamboo house were just as simple as the courtyard, without any excessive decorations. Fan Jin helped the youth to sit down on a chair in front of the table, and as he gestured to Jun Xie, he sat himself down beside the youth.
"Big Brother, aren't you going to introduce them to me?" The sickly youth smiled at Jun Xie.
Fan Jin said: "This is Jun Xie. I told you about him a few days ago. He is one of the freshmen that I am teaching this year. Jun Xie, this is my younger brother, Fan Zhuo. "
Fan Zhuo looked at Jun Xie, and the smile in his eyes deepened. "So you are Jun Xie? If Big Brother had not told me that you are already fourteen years old, looking at your body and bones, you would only look to be twelve or thirteen. You must take care to eat and drink well, and not spoil your health. "
Fan Zhuo was born with a frail body and his heart was as clear as a mirror, but his body had become a burden.
