On the topic of Wei Yi, everyone suddenly perked up.

Although Young Master Wei isnt quite the same as the rest of us, he is adorable in his own way. Having him along on the journey has made us all very merry.

Exactly. But Teacher Ji didnt bring Young Master Wei this time. Great, now the journey will be really boring.

The bodyguards chatted among themselves, saying this and that.

Lang Po heard everything. He turned around and glared at them. Do you not want your tongues anymore? They suddenly stopped. They all knew that Lang Po was a coarse fellow. He normally looked quite fierce and strict and Jing Rong's temper more or less had rubbed off on him. But deep down, he was actually quite an amicable person and was quite easy going with his subordinates. However, because of this sudden shout, they couldnt help but feel some fear in their hearts and could only obediently stand guard next to the carriage.

Just then, Mo Ruo lifted the curtain of the carriage and swept his gaze over the guards. If you really miss Wei Yi, why dont you just send some people back to Jinjiang and bring him here?

Master Mo, stop making fun of us. Teacher Jis instructions are our Princes instructions. He already said to leave him at the Wei residence. If we bring him here then the prince will definitely have our heads.

Mo Ruo continued to add fuel to the fire, Your Prince isnt a demon that kills without batting an eyelid, what are you scared of?

They werent stupid, they knew that rascal Mo Ruo was trying to entice them to step on a landmine. Then, someone said, Master Mo, stop trying to get us in trouble. It looks like its you who misses Master Wei. I heard that in the capital, he always stayed at your Yuhua Pavillion. In addition, its you who brought him on this trip to Yufu. So the one who misses him is really you!

What a joke! Mo Ruo pointed at every one of the guards, All of you gossip mongers, sooner or later Ill stick some needles into you and make you mute. They all roared with laughter.

Mo Ruo pulled his head back into the carriage and saw that Tang Si was reading a book! Yes, a book. She wasnt reading incomprehensible classics, but rather medical books. In the past few days, she kept pestering Mo Ruo to teach her medicine. Mo Ruo wasnt made of steel. He finally couldnt take it anymore and threw some basic medical books at her so that she would focus on them rather than bother him. Therefore, Tang Si wasnt her previous noisy self on this journey. On the contrary, she seemed to have changed into a new person and was reading quietly. Now her appearance really did seem like that of a gentle lady!

Mo Ruo accidentally glanced at her. At this moment, he felt that Tang Si somewhat resembled Kong Yu. The same gentle side profile, the same tall nose bridge, even the way they looked while quietly reading a book was so similar! At that instant, in some place deep down inside, his frozen heart had unexpectedly begun to thaw.

As if sensing something, Tang Si raised her head, glanced sideways and just happened to see Mo Ruos strange gaze towards her. She instinctively put the book down and sent a kick straight to Mo Ruos knee and roared, What are you looking at? Never seen a woman in your life?

Mo Ruo felt like he had been hit by lightning. He was so shocked. Clearly one was water and one was fire, why did he think that this woman looked like Kong Yu? He must be blind or had fallen ill!

He clutched his knee in pain and scrunched up his entire face. Are you even a woman? So what if I look? There are only two people in this carriage and you dont even let me look at you. If I dont look at you who else am I supposed to look at?

I Tang Si was at a loss for words. She tilted her head while she thought. This reasoning seemed logical but she also felt that something was off. She swallowed several times. Forget it. She simply picked up the book again and started reading attentively.

On the mountain, the previously clear sky had started to rain. The weather in June was always rainy and humid. In the end, the entourage had to temporarily stop beside a bamboo forest. By chance, there was a pavilion to shelter from the rain.

Ji Yunshus emotions had calmed down significantly along the way. She stood at the edge of the pavilion, looking at the heavy downpour of rain and also happened to notice Zhao Huai and his men. They had built a simple shelter while making use of the density of the bamboo forest to avoid the brunt of the rain.

Brother Lang, she called.

Lang Po replied, Whats the matter, Teacher Ji?

She pointed at the group in the bamboo forest. Take some rations and give it to them.

Yes. Lang Po did as he was instructed.

From Shanhuai county until now, Zhao Huais group had been closely following their every move but maintained their distance well. If they sped up, the other party also sped up. If they slowed down, the other party also slowed down.

Ji Yunshu thought, from the instant Zhao Huai saw the jade pendant, he had been following her. Could it be that he knew that the jade pendant was the tiger military seal so he said all that back then in the pavilion? Butit was impossible for him to have a connection with the tiger talisman. After all, twenty years ago, he was wasnt even ten years old. What connection could a child, who wasnt even ten, have with the tiger seal? She couldnt make any sense of it.

The rain got heavier, as a few drops landed on her forehand. Jing Rong raised his sleeve to brush it away and turned back to sit down inside the pavilion. He saw that she wasnt frowning like before and was very relieved. He said out of concern, Be careful you dont catch a cold.

She nodded. Mm.

Jing Rong glanced at Mo Ruo and saw that he had been massaging his knee from when he got off the carriage until now. What happened to your knee?

At the mention of his knee, Mo Ruo got worked up. His eyes slitted needle-like, and he glared fiercely at the carriage next to the bamboo forest. He huffed, What else couldve happened? Of course, it got bitten by a spiteful woman.

Jing Rong joked, Towards Miss Tang, you couldnt have

What are you saying? What could I possibly do to her? As long as she doesnt bully me Ill already thank the heavens. Ive set my mind on this, I cant sit together with her. Otherwise, Im scared I wont be able to stop myself from poisoning her.

Well, that cant be helped. Miss Tang is your savior, therefore you have an obligation to take care of her. If she wants to follow you then you cant run away. If she wants to learn medicine then you have to teach her. After all, you owe her your life, you have to pay it back!

Jing Rong made it sound so easy! This was met with an eye roll from Mo Ruo. Ji Yunshu also showed a rare smile on her face.

At this time, there were five people outside rushing through the rain to the pavilion. They all wore the same Confucian robes. A layer of gauze was wrapped over their clothes and they had blue undergarments beneath. They all had their hair in a topknot and had long blue-green sashes fastened on which fell to their waist.

As a result of the rain, they all looked like drowned rats! Four of them had their books over their heads to protect themselves from the rain. Only one of them had their books tucked inside their clothes and clutched to their chest to prevent it from getting wet from the rain. From the looks of it, they seemed to be students from a nearby academy!
