A storm to find the Recluse was currently unfolding around them, and they never would have thought that the Recluse had been right under their noses all along. It wasn't until later when they finally realized this, but it remained just a suspicion.
The Recluse didn’t know about the storm he’d caused; he continued going to work every day and meeting with Her Majesty at night. He planned to read through the Black Tortoise Family’s collection of books as soon as possible before heading over to the Tian Yuan Qi Family.
Perhaps, even after reading through all of the Black Tortoise Family’s books, he might still choose to stay for a while longer, just to continue his meetings with Her Majesty. Don’t misunderstand; he simply wanted to listen to more of her teachings. Yeah, that was it—listening to her tell stories!
Another day had dawned, and the weather was pleasant. Under the clear blue sky, Qinglong City seemed particularly beautiful. Not just its architecture but also the people appeared exceptionally lovely.
This was how Shang Lingjian felt now; he found everyone extremely comfortable to look at. Previously, when he saw those maidservants, he thought each and every one of them looked ugly. Today, however, they all seemed like beauties.
It was because Shang Lingjian had been feeling quite frustrated during this period. He’d been confined in the courtyard by his mother to reflect on his actions. Initially, there were some thoughts of remorse; he believed that after thoroughly reflecting this time around, he would change and repent for his ways.
But a few days later, he began feeling restless. He couldn’t calm himself down to properly reflect or face the wall; instead, his heart yearned to go out and play. Yet, at first, he held back—whether he wanted to or not, he had no choice but to do so. Wuwenxiu from the Black Tortoise Family had given him a strict order not to cause trouble during this period.
However, Wuwenxiu was an extremely busy person; she needed to handle many family affairs and couldn’t watch over Shang Lingjian all day long. Recently, he’d been behaving well, so she left him alone for now. She never intended to confine him indefinitely anyway—the confinement had lasted quite a long time already, nearly a month.
Once Shang Lingjian regained his freedom, his spirits naturally lifted; when he looked at others, his view changed too. The first thing he did upon leaving was to seek out Wuwenxiao.
"Wuxiao, Wuxiao..."
The moment Wuwenxiao heard this, her mood became unpredictable. She considered whether she should knock Shang Lingjian unconscious and claim it as revenge from his enemies—after all, someone had previously driven him mad, so knocking him out was quite normal.
Yet, she knew that wasn’t something she could do; she couldn’t stoop to the same level. She would just endure it—she’d done this before anyway. She decided to treat Shang Lingjian as if he didn't exist.
"Wuxiao, we haven’t seen each other for a long time, have you missed me"
"Wuxiao, what are you doing Let's do it together!"
"Wuxiao..."
Wuwenxiao ignored Shang Lingjian completely, but he was unaware of this. He continued talking beside Wuwenxiao with words that made her want to vomit.
Frowning, Wuwenxiao headed towards a place she thought would make Shang Lingjian calm down—namely, the academy. At an academy, people generally became quiet when reading books; even Shang Lingjian did.
Even though he remained beside Wuwenxiao, Shang Lingjian still wanted to say something. However, he knew that in the academy, sometimes elders or seniors might appear. He didn’t want his behavior to result in deductions from his points, which was a consequence he wished to avoid.
Previously when dealing with the Recluse, it had been because they were outside the room; if inside, he wouldn’t have acted that way.
"Isn't this Young Master Lingjian Recluse, you should hide quickly!"
When Shang Lingjian entered the academy, someone near the Recluse said so. At that moment, the Recluse was organizing several large boxes of books with a group of people; he had good rapport among them as he often helped others.
They knew about some of the conflicts between Shang Lingjian and the Recluse, believing Shang Lingjian would definitely seek trouble once arriving. Usually, Shang Lingjian rarely appeared in the academy unless accompanying Wuwenxiao. Currently, Wuwenxiao was right behind him; he first cleared a path for her, so everyone couldn’t see her yet.
"Why be afraid He shouldn't cause me any trouble." The Recluse said indifferently. Although nobody knew it had been him who gave Shang Lingjian that lesson before, he believed with this experience, Shang Lingjian would behave better.
“You can never tell; he might go crazy…” A servant whispered fearfully, afraid others would hear as consequences could be severe if they did.
The Recluse was somewhat speechless. If you were so scared, why speak up
"I don't think so!" The Recluse shook his head calmly in reply.
“How can it not This is very possible!” Someone beside him became anxious for the Recluse, feeling like a eunuch panicking before the emperor.
“Look behind him; Miss Wuxiao is there…” The Recluse replied as he continued sorting books.
The others secretly glanced and saw that indeed, Wuwenxiao had appeared just as the Recluse said. This meant the danger was averted. However, how did the Recluse know that Miss Wuxiao would also be here behind him She had only recently entered their line of sight—did he have some sort of foresight
Everyone was quite skeptical, looking at the Recluse…
"I guessed it, just now his expression was so servile; he must have been trying to curry favor with her. It's probably safe to say that he came here together with Miss Lingxiao!" Xianyao whispered. This is gossiping about someone behind their back! You need to whisper!
"Servile... Ha ha, it's really very servile, so it must be true then!"
"Shh, are you looking for trouble To say that Young Master Lingjian is servile..."
"Let's not talk anymore. Although he is indeed servile, we can't speak the truth about this!"
...
The group was speechless. At this moment, they noticed that Shang Lingjian was actually walking towards them. They all felt a jolt in their hearts; could it be that what they said had been overheard
"You, come and help my young master find some books for me and Miss Lingxiao." Shang Lingjian pointed at Xianyao and said.
"Yes!" Xianyao stood up to reply. Although he knew that Shang Lingjian was here looking for trouble, he could not refuse because it fell within his duties.
At the same time, Xianyao thought that Shang Lingjian would only create small troubles and wouldn't dare do anything too outrageous in front of Wu Xuan and Miss Lingxiao. He could only make minor moves.
This made Xianyao's opinion of him even worse. What an ungenerous person!
"Xianyao, just focus on doing your job well and don't worry about anything else." Wu Xuan said coldly, clearly backing up Xianyao.
Although she couldn’t get rid of Shang Lingjian, that didn’t mean she would tolerate his mistakes. If he made a mistake, she could find an excuse to scold him and then get rid of him.
"Oooh..." Yunyun barked on the side, apparently supporting Xianyao as well.
Shang Lingjian didn’t react at all. He knew that if he did, it would be tantamount to admitting his intention to cause trouble, which wasn't a wise move. Originally, he just wanted to casually make things difficult for Xianyao.
If he had known how Wu Xuan would think about this matter, he wouldn’t have bothered with Xianyao at all. He thought that Wu Xuan should not be aware of the relationship between him and Xianyao, so making a small move to undermine Xianyao here shouldn't make her suspicious.
But now it seems like she knows about this matter; he can’t do anything anymore or else it would tarnish his image!
At this moment, he pretended as if he knew nothing and that he was merely asking Xianyao to guide him around. This was normal since everyone entering the academy might ask a servant for help finding books.
This is truly shameless!
Xianyao gave his evaluation but didn't speak it out loud, only picking up Yunyun and checking on her condition, which he did just as an aside.
Seeing Yunyun and Xianyao so close, Shang Lingjian's expression changed. He was jealous again; at one point, he had also thought of getting closer to Yunyun to get closer to Wu Xuan through her.
However, Yunyun always disliked him and kept a distance from him, no matter what methods he used. If he forced his way in, Wu Xuan would immediately unsheathe her sword; it was only because he hadn’t done anything that allowed him to remain by her side. But doing something like this towards Yunyun would be considered an attack on Wu Xuan herself.
Because of this, Shang Lingjian felt even more envious when he saw Xianyao hugging Yunyun so closely now.
"Lingxiao, what books do you want to read" asked Shang Lingjian.
Wu Xuan frowned and said somewhat annoyed: "I just want to look at some books related to swordsmanship. It will take me a long time; if you have anything else to do, go ahead."
"I don't mind, I'll stay here with you while you read the book! You, quickly bring Miss Lingxiao's requested books over." Shang Lingjian pointed at Xianyao and said.
Xianyao paused for a moment, his eyes full of confusion. Wu Xuan hadn't specified which books she wanted to see; she only mentioned ones related to swordsmanship. How am I supposed to find them Wait a minute...
"Why are you still standing here Quickly bring over all the books related to swordsmanship! As a servant, how can you not know this You won't be able to last long in our Wu Xuan family like this. Our Wu Xuan servants are elite; if you don't have what it takes, then don't勉強在這裡混了。”商靈劍指著逍遙說道，有意貶低逍遙的身份，你不過是一個小小的家丁。
當然，這其中也有提醒著玄武靈筱的意思，他不過是一個家丁，和高貴的你的身份相差懸殊！
這似乎是一件極為多餘的事情，商靈劍的擔心和吃醋都是莫名其妙的，玄武靈筱可不會因為芸芸對逍遙親近，她就會對逍遙有特彆的感覺，她對於逍遙的感覺就是一個家丁而已，不錯的家丁罷了。
“明白了，既然靈筱小姐要看有關劍道的書，那小的自然會照著靈筱小姐的要求去做，請跟小的來。”逍遙臉上帶著微笑，心中順便暗罵了一句，這商靈劍看起來還想整自己啊，竟然要自己拿全部有關劍道的書，哼哼，那就等著吧。ligence.
