Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Before he finished speaking, Mister Zhang, the Four Sages of the Academy, and the other gentlemen slowly walked over.
They were still wearing their hats and broad belts, they had elegant demeanors, and their sleeves fluttering in the wind.
Based on what everyone else was wearing, they were obviously all dressed in white as well.
It was as if they came from the clouds.
“What do you mean by giving it back?” Mister Zhang, the Dean of the academy, stopped and asked with a gentle smile.
“Sir.” Xue Yan, Xu Yining, Shen Yuxuan, as well as the other students quickly cupped their hands and bowed.
The gentlemen cupped their hands in return.
“Hello.” Jiang Yue greeted him politely.
Jiang Yue was dressed in red today, and her face looked even fairer than
before. The five gentlemen all felt that Jiang Yue was even more likable, so they naturally smiled.
The other gentlemen also heard that there was going to be an adorable baby girl today. Seeing that the baby girl knew how to respectfully address them, they naturally took a liking to her too. They all smiled and said to each other, “This baby sure is a cutie.”
Xu Yining then cupped his hands and smiled as he answered Mister Zhang,
“Sir, didn’t Xue Yan drop a jade pendant that Wei Zizhan picked up previously? I was just trying to persuade him to ask you to find it for him. There’s no need to be afraid of trouble. That originally belonged to him. A gentleman should never steal. It should be returned to its original owner.”
“That’s right,” Mister Zhang nodded with a smile. As he spoke, he looked at
Xue Yan. “What do you think, Xue Yan?”
He was obviously asking for Xue Yan’s opinion.
Xue Yan was silent for a moment, but he still cupped his hands and said solemnly, “Then I’ll leave it to you, sir.”
In the past, he had never thought of taking it back. He felt that the hassle would be too troublesome for his teacher. However, Jiang Yue had always been very concerned about his family background. She wanted him to find out who his biological parents were. Now, he felt like he would find out about his family background sooner or later. Perhaps that jade pendant would be more or less useful. No matter what, he had carried it with him when he was still an infant… Then he should take it back rightfully so.
Jiang Yue looked at him.
She also felt that he would find out who his biological parents were sooner or later. It was better to get them back than not.
Mister Zhang nodded with a smile and said, “It just so happens that there’s a big ship I know going to Changyu tomorrow. After the cultural gathering ends, I’ll get someone to take that ship to find Wei Zi Zhan and get the jade pendant back for you.”
“Thank you, sir.” Xue Yan cupped his hands solemnly again, extremely grateful.
“Alright, it’s time for the cultural gathering to begin.” Mister Zhang smiled as he bent over. “Jiang Yue, let’s go. Follow me to the stage and sit down. Your brother has to sir somewhere else.”
Only then did Jiang Yue know that the small seat next to Mister Zhang was arranged for her…
Wasn’t this a little too prominent…
She was already eye-catching enough when she was dressed in red…
However, everyone except Xue Yan was looking at her expectantly. Obviously, they wanted to compete with Xue Yan. They wouldn’t let Xue Yan, the champion of the previous two cultural gatherings, to just sit back and watch.
Jiang Yue was silent for a moment before nodding. “Okay.”
Xue Yan was stunned. Did Jiang Yue not care about him anymore?
“Sir, this way please.” Xu Yining and the others cupped their hands and invited the gentlemen to sit on the stage.
Without waiting for Xue Yan’s reaction.
Xue Yan had no choice and could only cup his hands and invite the gentlemen onto the stage.
The gentlemen nodded with smiles.
Then, Mister Zhang held the little Jiang Yue’s hand and walked up the steps of the stage in the middle until they reached the stage. The other gentlemen also went up to their respective platforms and stood in front of their respective tables.
Immediately, someone beat the drum. The event had begun.
Everyone was standing, including Jiang Yue. She stood beside Mister Zhang. Mister Zhang was very tall, making Jiang Yue look even smaller..
