The man who looked like he was destined to have a rough life became even more miserable. He advised in a trembling voice, "Little Junior Brother, you haven't been in the academy for long. You can't make Senior Sister Xu unhappy. The first day I entered the academy, I saw with my own eyes how Senior Sister Xu killed people with her sword. So when I met the teacher and the other senior brothers and sisters, my legs went soft. "
The handsome man who had just studied with the same teacher as this timid senior brother joked, "Senior Brother Liu, do you have two legs or three legs?"
Senior Brother Liu's face was full of righteousness. He thought carefully and then answered in a deep voice, "Three legs!"
The Little Junior Brother, whose appearance was hundreds of times better than his senior brother, laughed and said, "Senior Brother, if I can board Senior Sister Xu's boat, you can call me Senior Brother in the future. How about that?"
Senior Brother Liu nodded without hesitation and said, "No problem."
The Junior Brother was the talented youth who had played ten games with Xu Weixiong. Even if the chessboard did not have nineteen pieces, he was not unhappy at all. He had thought that he had an eighty percent chance of winning on nineteen pieces, but when Xu Weixiong brought out fifteen pieces, he was only pleasantly surprised. This was his eccentric nature. Face and whatnot could not be sold for a few taels of silver. As long as he won the ten games, he would not touch nineteen pieces even if he was beaten to death. He would not even touch a chess piece for the rest of his life. No matter how invincible Xu Weixiong's chess skills were in the future, what could he do? Wouldn't it only make him more invincible? Unfortunately, he could not even beat Xu Weixiong with fifteen chess pieces. But he was still very happy. It was good that he did not lose or win. He had a reason to stay in the academy. Based on his style, it seemed that there was nothing in the world that was not worth being happy about.
He dove into the lake like a fish and approached the small boat.
Senior Brother Liu was dumbfounded. He did not care about the bet. He only said what would happen if the Little Junior Brother won, but did not mention what would happen if he lost.
'Little Junior Brother is really bold.'
None of the senior brothers in the academy dared to pester Senior Sister Xu.
Senior Brother Liu stared at him intently, ready to save him at any time.
At the center of the lake, Xu Weixiong frowned and pulled back his wrist. He subconsciously wanted to press down on Hong Yi, but when he discovered that he did not have a sword with him, he stood up and uprooted a green lotus. With lightning speed, he stabbed the fish that was a little too large to the bottom of the lake.
When Xu Weixiong saw that there was no movement, he said calmly, "Don't do it again."
Senior Brother Liu, who was peeking out from behind a pile of lotus leaves, was even more nervous than the two in the game. He was afraid that Senior Sister and Junior Brother would start a fight at the slightest disagreement. This Great Mind Lake was a rare quiet place in the academy. Everywhere else, there were many students of Jixia Academy who were talking loudly. There were also lunatics who jumped off buildings, jumped into the water, and even ran around naked. To Senior Brother Liu, who used a normal heart to do normal things and write normal articles, this was really unacceptable. So when he occasionally heard that Senior Sister Xu had defeated those lunatics, blind, and deaf who were unwilling to cultivate diligently, he secretly felt quite satisfied. As for the mysterious Junior Brother, he did not have many interactions with him, but they were not shallow. Senior Brother Liu quite liked this outstanding talent who spoke and acted without restraint.
Senior Brother Liu stared with his eyes wide open as he saw Junior Brother swimming away. At this moment, his stomach was facing up as he leisurely swam back, looking like he was still glorious even though he had lost.
Climbing ashore, Junior Brother who had a bump on his head chuckled, "Grand Chancellor nagged me last time about only allowing dogs in the water and not being able to look at free and unfettered people. I think that's bullshit! "
Senior Brother Liu said in a panic, "Junior Brother, be careful, be careful."
Junior Brother did not mind. After standing up straight, he shook lightly to shake off more than half of the lake water on his body. He turned his head to look at the woman who had left the boat and come ashore. His eyes were filled with undisguised adoration, but there was no fear or worship in the eyes of ordinary scholars.
Senior Brother Liu said worriedly, "Junior Brother, be careful not to catch a cold."
Junior Brother put his arm around the shoulder of his most compatible senior brother from the same sect and smiled, "Senior Brother Liu, when are you going to the capital? Let's go to the highest Hall of Martial Heroes in the imperial city to admire the moon."
Senior Brother Liu smiled, "How can I."
But he didn't dare to.
Junior Brother said shamelessly, "There are many connections in the capital. With Senior Brother Liu's looks, it wouldn't be hard for you to casually marry a princess or princess. I'll be the matchmaker for you. When the time comes, you'll climb up Hall of Martial Heroes, then Hall of Literary Splendor, and Hall of Preserving Harmony."
Senior Brother Liu touched his face and nodded, "It's indeed a way."
Xu Weixiong entered the building alone. She did not have any thoughts about what had happened in the lake.
That young man's background was treacherous. She had fifteen paths as a lake and ten rounds with him. That was because of her arrogance, but it did not mean that Xu Weixiong really liked her. When he had broken the rules and passed the examinations of several teachers to enter the academy, he had also entered her unhindered arcane gate. Xu Weixiong had increased her vigilance a bit. Xu Weixiong could be unbridled in Jiangnan Province, using his father's tiger skin as a banner to abuse his power. His actions were dissolute and disregarded the consequences. Xu Weixiong was not that useless flower vase. Every step she took, she had to consider the Xu family. She could not make a single mistake. She was also not that silly little brother Xu Longxiang, who could not think too much about anything.
She had originally thought that a certain guy could be a bit more promising.
Who would have thought that it would be fine if he did not learn the way of the king, but he also did not learn the way of the tyrant. He did not even touch the art of war. He also lacked interest in the art of court maneuvering. He actually picked up the saber to learn martial arts?!
Beiliang had millions of households, 300,000 Beiliang cavalry. Such a large and glorious family business, second only to the emperor, could be supported by a saber?
Xu Weixiong stared at the chess piece on her wrist and scolded in a low voice, "You idiot!"
After Xu Weixiong scolded her, her mood relaxed a bit. However, she quickly became serious again. Two fingers stroked the chess piece. She sneered and said, "You're even more arrogant than a prince."
This was because she remembered what her father had said in the secret letter after investigating that little brother: This child's background was hidden and could not be investigated. He only knew that the head of the Inner Palace's 30,000 eunuchs, Han Diaosi, had to bow when seeing him.
