Chapter 143: Deceiving Uncle Sheng (41)
The result of that month’s test was revealed. Shu Nuan came in seventh, while Wen Zhigu came in fifth. The top three in the class remained unchanged. Ji Xubai was satisfied with the outcome. However, in the next class, he asked Shu Nuan to come to his private room.
Shu Nuan thought that he had caught her making a mistake. Ji Xubai was looking through her papers when she arrived. He noticed her and gave a slight glance. “You have written a good article this time. I can see that you have spent a lot of effort on the culture of the Beiguo. But…”
Ji Xubai paused and narrowed his eyes toward her. Then he asked, “As a girl from the Qing Kingdom, how do you know the Beiguo Kingdom so well?”
Shu Nuan couldn’t tell what he was suspecting, but she answered truthfully, “There are many books on the scenery of the Beiguo KIngdom in the library of Shenghe Manor. I have read a lot before.”
“That’s right.” Ji Xubai smiled slightly and put down her examination paper. He got up slowly and walked past her. Suddenly, he turned around and pushed Shu Nuan forward, catching her off guard. She retreated into the desk with him in front of her. He looked down at her cheerfully and his voice was low, as though to bewitch her, “Do you want to know the examination topic in advance?”
Shu Nuan stared at him coldly. “Master Ji, I hope you will abide by your duties.”
Ji Xubai smiled softly. “Wen Zhigu talked to me the same way at the beginning, but she was rather mean and I gave her some benefits. She can be obedient, which is so lofty as you.”
Shu Nuan face sank. She raised her eyes and stared straight at Ji Xubai.
Ji Xubai could feel her dark mood and was quite amused for a while. It had probably been a long time since he had teased a student. But before he had even given birth to the idea of scaring Shu Nuan, someone knocked at the door. Ji Xubai had to straighten up, and as he slowly returned to his seat, he opened his mouth to let the person in.
But he hadn’t thought it would be Ji Xili…
As Ji Xili pushed open the door to come in, she paused a bit.
She saw Shu Nuan standing at the table. For her to appear in Ji Xubai’s room after class…
She wrinkled her brow when she recalled the last time she had asked Ji Xubai about his relationship with Shu Nuan.
Ji Xubai picked his brows, seemingly finding it unexpected that Ji Xili had come.
“You leave first.” Ji Xubai suddenly changed his tone as he ordered Shu Nuan to go.
Without looking at him, Shu Nuan turned and left.
However, when she passed Ji Xili, the woman pulled her hand. Shu Nuan faced her and heard, “Can you wait for me outside the academy? I’ll find you soon after I finish talking with him.”
Shu Nuan was silent for a moment, before she nodded and walked out of the Ji Xubai’s personal library.
At this time, the students had already come out of their classes. Shu Nuan slowly walked down the steps with her head down, one small step at a time.
She walked quietly down the steps, but she was absent-mindedly thinking about something.
When she raised her head, a masked man in plainclothes appeared in front of her. The man was rushing towards her, and she had no time to react. The next moment, her nose breathed in some medicine. She lost consciousness and fell down.
