“Hmph, we have a completely pure relationship. It’s nothing so disgusting as what you’re thinking,” Qi Yaoguang said angrily, shooting her senior brother a glare.
“Who knows? When is a relationship between a man and a woman ever completely pure?” Yin Shi retorted with a big smile.
Qi Yaoguang was speechless.
Shen Xuzi said with a frown, “But the libationer is our little junior sister’s senior, so it might be a bit inappropriate.”
“Not necessarily. The libationer said that we were to maintain our previous personal relationships. Inside the academy, he is the libationer, our teacher, but in private, we can just interact on the same level, right?” Yin Shi corrected him.
“You guys are all so annoying! If any of your fates end up going dark and awry, I’m not going to help you guys anymore!” Qi Yaoguang cried, letting go of Zu An’s arm in embarrassment. How could she still be shameless enough to keep clinging to him?
Jiang Luofu rubbed her head with a smile, saying, “Junior sister, everyone is joking around with you. Don’t treat it as a big deal.”
The other senior brothers also agreed with a smile. Only then did Qi Yaoguang smile again.
Zu An felt warm inside when he saw that.
These brothers and sisters really have a good relationship with each other.
While he was having those thoughts, the academy’s teachers also felt moved. Previously, when Zu An took over the position of libationer, they had all respected the late libationer’s wishes and Zu An’s advice in their respective fields, so they'd approved of him becoming the new libationer. But because he was still too young, they'd all still felt a bit strange. After all, they had been worried that his strength wouldn’t be enough to bring the academy more benefits. What they had worried about the most was that he wouldn’t be able to convince the masses of his position. After all, the clans of the capital were all ruthless and vicious old foxes.
However, they had never expected him to be so full of vigor, single-handedly slaughtering his way into the Meng manor and leaving the eight dukes completely ashen. He'd said he would kill that giant gold dragon, and he had; even the honorable Dragon King had to give him face. In the end, even the earth immortal Zhao Chen had been dealt with by a single move. After tonight, perhaps Zu An could already be considered number one in this entire world. Not even the late libationer had enjoyed such glory!
The academy teachers weren’t the type to be used to being out in the open with so many people around them. After that exchange, they all went back to the academy’s rear mountain. Even though Qi Yaoguang wanted to talk more with Zu An, when she recalled her fellow disciples’ teasing, she still found it too embarrassing and left with a reddened face.
Only Jiang Luofu stayed behind. She seemed to have noticed his worries and said, “Don’t worry, I still have people watching over the Imperial Prison. Nothing will happen.”
Zu An sighed in relief.
Big sis Jiang always knows how to make others feel at ease.
“Let’s head on over to bring them out," he said. He had already flipped the table, so how could they still let the Qin and Murong clan’s people suffer in prison?
“Alright,” Jiang Luofu said, following behind him. She actually felt a bit pleasantly surprised and honored.
Many people saw what happened and began to discuss it in private.
“Who is that black silk beauty?”
“The Commandant of Justice’s precious daughter, Jiang Luofu. You don’t even know her? She's also a teacher of the academy’s rear mountain, the late libationer’s personal disciple!”
“Those legs really are beautiful… In my opinion, Zu An might not really be without an equal. If he were to be sandwiched between those legs, he would likely lower his helmet and throw away his armor.”
“That gives me an idea. It’s not too easy for us to gain Sir Zu’s favor, so we should stay our hands from this Miss Jiang and set them up.”
“Ah, could they really have that kind of relationship?”
“Are you stupid? If it were you, would you refuse those beautiful black silk stocking-covered legs? Besides, one is the libationer and the other a rear mountain teacher. There’s not a thing she could do, and beautiful women like outstanding men. Good things should be kept within the family…”
…
Along the way, Jiang Luofu snuck glances at the man in front of her several times.
However, Zu An’s senses were keen and he couldn't help but ask with a chuckle, “Why do you keep looking at me?”
