A Time-Traveling Mishap: I Became an Ancient Nobleman

Chapter 100 What serious illness did he contract?

Gu Qingfeng had no idea what he had done wrong. How could simply putting his arm around his junior brother's shoulder make the dean think he was acting like a hooligan?

I always treat my fellow disciples the same way, don't I?

It doesn't seem to be my problem.

He looked at Zhou Hanzhang suspiciously, "Do you have some serious illness?"

Zhou Hanzhang: ...

Before she could speak, Jiang Mingyun suddenly appeared in front of Gu Qingfeng instead of Jiang Yichen. "Senior Brother Gu, please don't curse people like that. Brother Hanzhang is perfectly healthy."

Gu Qingfeng scratched his head and muttered, "Why won't the dean let me put my arm around your shoulder if I'm not seriously ill?"

"Young Master Gu is overthinking it. Perhaps the dean thinks you smell a bit bad and doesn't want you to get too close."

Zhou Hanzhang's single sentence delivered the fatal blow to him.

Gu Qingfeng got agitated, "No, you're making a personal attack."

“You said I have a serious illness, so it’s better for me to say you stink than for you to curse me, right?” Zhou Hanzhang wasn’t going to put up with him.

Gu Qingfeng immediately put on a pitiful look and looked at Mo Xuan, "Dean, look at him."

Mo Xuan glanced at him and said, "You always bully your junior brother. How old are you?"

"No, how did I bully him?" Gu Qingfeng was starting to doubt himself. What had he done? He hadn't done anything!

Lee Hsien-tat tried to lighten the mood with a laugh, "Everyone must be hungry, let's go inside and have some food?"

As the group walked into the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, they heard a voice behind them, "Fellow disciples, are you just arriving too?"

Everyone turned to look, and there was Ye Gui, the person who had entered the academy with priority and was exempted from the assessment that day, along with Zhou Hanzhang and Jiang Bowen.

Jiang Mingyun's expression changed when she saw him, her body trembled slightly, and she moved closer to Zhou Hanzhang.

Ye Gui saw them turn their heads and then saw what they looked like. He then greeted them one by one, "Dean, Senior Brother Chen, Senior Brother Shen, Senior Brother Jiang, Senior Brother Gu, Junior Brother Li, Junior Brother Zhou, Junior Sister Jiang."

Miss Jiang and Bowen are both here too, what a coincidence.

Li Xianda enthusiastically went up to him and pulled him along, saying, "Why did you take so long to arrive?"

Ye Gui smiled shyly, "I was thinking that since you were inviting me to dinner, I didn't have anything nice to give as a gift. I thought about it for a long time about whether I should come or not, but in the end I felt that since you had invited me, it wouldn't be good if I didn't go, so I came."

When I arrived, I found that almost everyone had left, and I thought I might be late. I was just about to go back when I unexpectedly saw you all. What a coincidence!

"Hehe, what a coincidence." Jiang Mingyun smiled insincerely.

She was about to say, "Didn't you say you were too embarrassed to come? Why are you here again?"

However, she didn't say it out loud, after all, she still needed to use this person to get close to the eldest prince in order to achieve her revenge.

Ye Gui saw Jiang Mingyun's strange smile and wondered what he had done wrong. Just a few days ago, the two of them had put on a show of instant rapport and already regarded each other as confidants.

But when he went to look for her one day, he discovered that she had left the academy with Zhou Hanzhang. Unfortunately, he couldn't freely enter and leave the academy, so he had to wait for this opportunity.

He was also thinking of deliberately arriving a little late, just as they finished their meal, so that he could invite Jiang Mingyun to visit a newly opened bookstore together and get to know each other better.

He had even scouted out the bookstore beforehand; he was sure she would like it.

With so many people here, it's a bit difficult to manage.

"Come on, let's go inside quickly. Let's sit down and talk about it. Don't stay at the door."

Unaware of the situation, Li Xianda invited everyone inside and asked the innkeeper to prepare a large table of dishes for them.

However, a small mishap occurred when arranging the seating.

Seeing that the dean and several senior brothers had all sat down, Jiang Mingyun looked longingly at Zhou Hanzhang, thinking that she would sit down next to him wherever he was sitting.

To everyone's surprise, Gu Qingfeng pulled Zhou Hanzhang to sit next to him, saying, "Brother, sit here."

When Mo Xuan saw that Gu Qingfeng was holding Zhou Hanzhang's hand, his brows furrowed again. Fortunately, Gu Qingfeng let go of Zhou Hanzhang's hand before Mo Xuan could speak again.

Zhou Hanzhang had no choice but to sit down next to Gu Qingfeng.

Seeing that Zhou Hanzhang had already sat down, Jiang Mingyun quickly sat down next to him.

The last few people felt they had a good relationship with Jiang Mingyun, so they all prepared to sit next to her.

This resulted in several people vying for one spot.

Seeing so many men present, many of whom she was meeting for the first time, Jiang Xinyi spoke first, "Mingyun and I are women, so why don't we go somewhere else to eat?"

“Our academy doesn’t care about these things, please sit down,” Mo Xuan finally spoke.

Seeing this, Jiang Xinyi said, "Then I'll sit next to Mingyun."

After Jiang Xinyi sat down, Jiang Bowen naturally sat down next to her.

Ye Gui initially wanted to sit next to Jiang Mingyun, but now that his seat was taken, he couldn't make it too obvious.

He had just heard that Jia Yi, the last person to associate with them, had just been sentenced to castration.

I was shivering a little.

Although he didn't have much romantic feeling for Jiang Mingyun, he was sent by the eldest prince after all, so he had to maintain a good relationship with her.

However, it seems the risk is a bit high?

Or perhaps we should go back and talk to the Crown Prince and suggest that he contact someone else.

However, his younger sister, Bitao, was still serving by Jiang Mingyun's side. Given her unwavering devotion to the First Prince, it would be difficult for him to replace her.

However, because of Bitao, she learned a lot about Jiang Mingyun, so it was easier for her to get to know him than she could get to know other women.

However, he had secretly bumped into Bitao when he came out, and only then did he realize that Jiang Mingyun had been distancing himself from her for some reason these past few days.

It seems that Jiang Mingyun had a nightmare that day and went to find Zhou Hanzhang like a madman?

Bitao said that from that day on, Jiang Mingyun became different from before.

He glanced at the person currently standing next to Jiang Mingyun; it was Chunzhi.

No one paid any attention to him.

He glanced furtively at Jiang Mingyun and found Zhou Hanzhang looking at him with a scrutinizing gaze.

His heart skipped a beat, and he quickly forced a gentle smile at Zhou Hanzhang.

He had just looked at Zhou Hanzhang when he saw Zhou Hanzhang look away.

He hasn't done anything yet, so they shouldn't know about his and the First Prince's plan. It seems that Jiang Mingyun's nightmare has frightened her.

That's why things are behaving so abnormally.

Ye Gui was quite confident that he could get close to Jiang Mingyun without her noticing and gain her trust.

Just as Ye Gui was lost in thought, Jiang Xinyi picked up her wine glass and said to everyone, "Thank you all for your help today."

Everyone was very accommodating; those who helped and those who didn't all raised their glasses and drank with Jiang Xinyi.
