[Side Mission: Substitute one person for another.]
Shi Sheng was startled by System's sudden voice, causing her to sit up on the bed.
It was dark all around. Shi Sheng held his forehead.
What's wrong with it? Giving out missions in the middle of the night!
I don't accept missions, thank you!
Shi Sheng tilted her head back and laid back on the bed.
[Accepted by default.]
Shi Sheng: "…"
Accept by default my ass. System, come out if you dare. Let's see if I will chop you into scrap metal.
[…] Only an idiot would get out. [If you don't do this side mission, the System will deduct all your life points. That means you won't be able to enter the mission world and meet Feng Ci again.]
Wow! You've learned how to threaten me?
Laozi knew that the rules were made up by you.
The System didn't say anything. As long as the Host is happy, don't provoke her.
Shi Sheng took a few deep breaths before she managed to suppress her anger.
What does it mean to substitute one person for another?
[Keywords: Jade Pavilion, Weiyang Palace.]
Shi Sheng: "…"
You came up with a new game?
Can you be a little more focused? Don't just randomly add settings. If you do, you'll easily get a bad review.
The System followed the principle of "I can't hear you, so I can't understand you" and manually blocked Shi Sheng.
Shi Sheng sat up in bed.
Is there a place called Weiyang Palace in the palace?
I don't think so …
Jade Pavilion … What the hell is that? A place to collect jade?
A place to collect jade in Weiyang Palace?
That little bitch System really needs to be taught a lesson.
Shi Sheng sat in bed until dawn. When Tao Qin came in to serve him, she was startled by Shi Sheng's messy hair.
"Master … What are you doing?" Ever since Shi Sheng was demoted to Jie Yu, Tao Qin called him Master.
Shi Sheng held his chin and asked weakly, "Do you know about Weiyang Palace and Jade Pavilion?"
"I've never heard of Weiyang Palace." Tao Qin thought for a moment. "I've heard of Jade Pavilion. It's the palace's library. Master, why are you suddenly asking about it?"
Tao Qin was confused. Why did Master ask such a question so early in the morning?
Jade Pavilion = library?
There are beautiful women in books …
F * ck!
Which god named it?
Everyone's first reaction upon hearing that the Jade Pavilion was related to jade. Who the hell knew that it was related to books?
The Jade Pavilion was inside Lin 'an Academy.
This academy was located in the Imperial Palace. It was where the princes, princesses, and other children related to the Imperial Family studied.
Because there were many people coming in and out of the Academy, it was closer to the periphery of the Imperial Palace. The concubines in the Imperial Harem could not come here casually.
It took Shi Sheng a lot of effort to sneak here from the harem.
"Master, what are we doing here?" Tao Qin looked left and right, afraid that someone would see her. "If someone sees you, Master will be reprimanded by His Majesty again."
The previous matter was not over yet, and now he was sneaking here again. Wasn't this giving people a reason to gossip?
"Looking for the jade." Shi Sheng looked at the gate of the Academy in the distance and answered casually.
Looking for jade? What jade was he looking for? What kind of jade could the Academy have?
Tao Qin was dumbfounded.
Shi Sheng looked around and avoided a group of imperial guards. He went to the back of the Academy.
"Master, what are you doing …" Tao Qin tugged at Shi Sheng nervously.
Shi Sheng rolled up his sleeves. "Crawl in. Didn't you say that we can't come here?"
"Are you crazy?" Tao Qin tugged at Shi Sheng anxiously. "There are all the children of the Imperial Family inside. How can you enter from here?"
"Then I'll enter from the main gate."
Tao Qin: "…"
You can't enter!
There are teachers inside, and they are all men. Without His Majesty's permission, how could her master explain himself if he went in?
"Master, we can't go in." Tao Qin shook her head vigorously.
"Fine, if you don't go in, I'll go in."
Tao Qin almost spat out.
In the end, Tao Qin accepted her fate and said, "Master, what are you looking for? I'll go in and help you find it. You can wait for me outside."
"I don't know what to look for."
Tao Qin: "…"
Master, are you kidding me?
If you don't know what to look for, why are you going in?
"That's enough. Stop talking nonsense." Shi Sheng forcefully pulled his hand back, retreated, and sprinted …
Tao Qin watched helplessly as her master nimbly climbed up the wall of the courtyard.
The wall of the academy wasn't too high, so it wasn't difficult for Shi Sheng to climb up.
"Are you coming up?" Shi Sheng sat on the wall and lowered his head to ask Tao Qin.
Tao Qin looked around guiltily, then nodded resolutely.
What if her master caused trouble again if she didn't follow him?
Shi Sheng bent down and stretched out his hand. Tao Qin thought that it would be difficult to climb up, but who knew that her master would easily pull her up.
Shi Sheng jumped into the wall. "Jump down."
Tao Qin looked down and felt dizzy.
Why did it feel so much higher inside than outside?
Tao Qin turned back to look outside. It was indeed much higher inside.
"Master … my legs are weak." She didn't dare to jump so high.
"Jump down and I'll catch you." Shi Sheng opened his arms.
Tao Qin was still a little afraid. Just as she was hesitating, she heard orderly footsteps nearby. She instantly became nervous.
Closing her eyes, she gritted her teeth and jumped down.
Tao Qin wasn't heavy, but Shi Sheng forgot that her body was still weak. He caught her, but both of them fell to the ground.
"Master, Master, are you okay?" Tao Qin hurriedly got up from Shi Sheng and went to help Shi Sheng.
Shi Sheng twisted his waist. "I'm fine. Let's go."
It was probably class time, so there was no one in the academy. Shi Sheng and Tao Qin moved inside the building next to them.
Just after they left, two figures came out from the tree behind where they had been standing.
"Master, why is Yun Gui Fei … no, why is Yun Jie Yu here?" She even climbed the wall.
The man smiled, his eyes gentle. "Let's follow her and see."
Thinking of the scene just now, he wanted to laugh.
The man followed Shi Sheng from afar, watching her avoid the people in the academy and arrive at the Jade Pavilion.
She sneakily climbed in from the back, which made the man even more curious.
"Master, she climbed in through the window." Was she still a concubine in the harem?
"She climbed the wall just now." The man reminded the youth.
The youth's face changed strangely.
"Wait for me outside." The man left the youth outside the Jade Pavilion and went in from the front door.
The servant guarding the door saw him and bowed slightly. His attitude wasn't very respectful, but he didn't make things difficult for him. "Master Ming."
The man chuckled and lowered his voice as much as possible. "I want to stay inside for a while. Can I not be disturbed?"
"Yes." This Master Ming often came here, so the servant didn't suspect anything. He directly left the Jade Pavilion and closed the door.
The Jade Pavilion was well-lit. Rows of bookshelves were arranged neatly.
The man followed the bookshelves, looking for rows of books.
However, he didn't see anyone.
The man looked at the stairs next to him.
He went up the stairs.
There were only two floors in the Jade Pavilion. The books here were only for the royal family to read. It wasn't the real place where the royal family collected books.
Where the royal family studied, the books in the Jade Pavilion would be brought in from other places. If they didn't need these books, they would be taken away.
But the second floor was different. Most of the books on the second floor were collected from the common people. They were extra-curricular reading and wouldn't be replaced.
