The Wuyue Academy students were insulting Zhou Tong, pointing at his forehead and calling him "little stutterer."

Of course, Zhou Tong wasn't a stutterer; he only stuttered when he was nervous.

Zhong Ding said anxiously, "Wuyue Academy is a martial arts school. They specialize in martial arts exams, and their students are all troublemakers, they're arrogant and domineering. People from our academy are afraid of encountering them!"

The leader of the Wuyue Academy students grabbed Zhou Tong by the hair with one hand, lifted him up, and pointed at his own shoe, "Clean my shoes for me!"

"Don't go too far!"

Zhou Tong's companion spoke up.

One of the students from Wuyue Academy raised his foot to kick the speaking companion!

However, with a painful cry, the student from Wuyue Academy was instead sent flying by a figure who appeared out of nowhere!

The four Tianqiong Academy students were shocked, "Xiao Liulang!"

Gu Jiao looked coldly at the Wuyue Academy student holding Zhou Tong. "Let him go, don't make me say it twice."

The other party looked Gu Jiao up and down, then focused on the birthmark on her left face, "Where did this ugly kid come from? You want this young master to let go? Then who's gonna lick my shoes clean, you?"

"You want them licked clean? Fine, I'll grant your wish." Gu Jiao replied coldly, then she raised her hand and swiftly delivered a knife-hand strike, hitting the nerves on the other party’s arm.

The other party’s arm went numb, and Zhou Tong stumbled backward. Gu Jiao dragged Zhou Tong behind her and then viciously kicked the other party’s chest!

Seeing this, the remaining students from Wuyue Academy, with fierce and menacing looks, launched attacks towards Gu Jiao. Gu Jiao knocked each one down with one move, and in the blink of an eye, all seven men were lying on the ground in agonizing pain.

The self-proclaimed "young master" from Wuyue Academy finally felt a hint of fear.

As he crawled up, clutching his chest, he glared fiercely at Gu Jiao and involuntarily backed away, asking, "Who are you?"

"Your grandpa!" Gu Jiao grabbed his hair, driving her knee into his abdomen. He writhed in pain, curling up like a shrimp in a steamer.

His shoes fell to the ground, and Gu Jiao threw him to the side of the shoes with a flick of her hand, "If you want them licked clean, lick it yourself!"

With that said, she turned to Zhou Tong and the others behind her, saying, "What are you standing there for? Aren't you coming?"

Zhou Tong looked at the Wuyue Academy students who were knocked down all over the ground, then his gaze fell on Gu Jiao's cold back, nodding."Ah! Right, we’re coming!" He turned to his companions, "Quick, quick, quick! Keep up!"

The group stepped over the bodies of the Wuyue Academy students and hurriedly followed Gu Jiao.

Zhong Ding also joined them.

The looks they gave Gu Jiao were different now, filled with admiration, and a hint of closeness.

Zhou Tong kept stealing glances at Gu Jiao.

"Got something to say?" Gu Jiao grew impatient with his staring.

With just a slight glance from her, Zhou Tong felt his heart leap into his throat.

But recalling what had happened in the alley, Zhou Tong felt he shouldn't be so afraid, "Th-thank you! And, I'm sorry!"

"Why do you keep apologizing to people?" Gu Jiao asked.

Zhou Tong awkwardly replied, "I... I was forced to apologize to them. Actually, it wasn't me who stepped on them, it was him who deliberately tripped me——those students from Wuyue Academy always bully us." Realizing his explanation sounded a bit off, he quickly got back on track, "I apologize to you because... I misunderstood you..."

He thought he was as aggressive and domineering as those martial students from Wuyue Academy, but it turned out he wasn't.

His martial arts skills weren't meant for bullying others.

"You... you actually don't like fighting, do you? Yesterday you dealt with the horse king to save Young Miss Su, and today you beat those people up to protect us? Brother Xiao, you're a kind-hearted person!"

Gu Jiao who was suddenly given the "kind-hearted person" card: "..."

Do you have any misconceptions about kind-hearted people?

Delayed by a while in the alley, by the time Gu Jiao and the others arrived at Xianluan Pavilion, the chess game had already ended, and Old Master Meng had left in a carriage.

Zhong Ding, feeling regretful for missing Old Master Meng, couldn't help but burst into tears, "Not being able to see Old Master Meng, I'm so miserable! This is the closest I've ever been to Old Master Meng! I'll never have another chance like this in my life! Sob..."

Gu Jiao didn't care about Old Master Meng; she came to find Mu Qingchen.

Who would have thought Mu Qingchen had also returned to the inner city.

Gu Jiao suddenly remembered something, "We get punished for skipping class, why doesn't Mu Qingchen?"

Did that guy have some special skills for skipping class?

Zhong Ding said enviously, "Although he never comes to class, he always ranks first in exams. How could they dare to punish him? Three punishments mean expulsion from the academy. Should such a promising talent be expelled from school? That’s why the Dean specially allowed him to study at home."

Gu Jiao asked, "Don't the other students have any objections?"

Zhong Ding sighed, "If they have objections, they can challenge Mu Qingchen in exams, but so far, no one has ever passed him."

Gu Jiao rubbed her chin, "He's that good?"

Zhong Ding wiped his tears and said, "But I heard this time he's not going back to study; there's something going on with his family, so he has to temporarily leave Shengdu for a while."

Gu Jiao exclaimed, "So, does that mean I won't see him for quite some time?"

Then how was she going to get into the Imperial Advisor's Hall?

……

The night was dark and the wind was high.

In a corner of a certain women's academy within the inner city, in a courtyard that was both low-key and luxurious, a small dark figure, almost blending into the night, stealthily ran out while carrying a small bundle in his arms.

His bad brother-in-law went to take a bath.

He was going to take advantage of the opportunity to slip away!

He was going to find JiaoJiao!

The little dark figure darted through dog holes, climbed trees, scaled walls, leaped over trees, and climbed down, executing all movements in one breath!

Finally, he left the academy!

He arrived beneath the vast sky, standing on the quiet street!

JiaoJiao, your beloved little man has arrived!

Smack!

The little dark figure fell down, landing face-first.

"Ugh——"

A carriage came rushing, and if it hadn't been for seeing that bundle, the coachman would have almost run him over.

He quickly tightened the reins and stopped the horse.

"What's wrong?" The person inside the carriage asked.

"Master, there's, there's a child." The coachman also took a while to realize that under that bundle was actually a child, mainly because it was too dark.

"Go check it out." The person inside the carriage said.

"Yes."

The coachman got off the carriage and walked towards the child.

He wondered whether the child was just unconscious or dead. Just as he squatted down to check the child's breath, the child suddenly raised his head with a swish!

"Holy mother!"

The coachman was so scared that he ran three yards away!

Hearing the commotion, the person inside the carriage raised the curtain with his hand, "What's going on?"

The little dark figure got up from the ground, picked up the small bundle and hugged it to his chest, then looked up at Old Master Meng in the carriage with an adorable gaze, "Grandpa, can you take me to find JiaoJiao?"

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 succumb 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…
