Chapter 474 Nian Duan: Rong'er, you are playing with fire!

Jixia Academy.

The gentle breeze blew the plants planted in the academy, and the green leaves danced, bringing a refreshing coolness. A rising sun hung high in the sky, and the slightly scorching sunlight fell on the cement paved road. The students of Jixia Academy hid in the shade.

tread!tread!tread!
In this kind of weather, even a master who is immune to cold and heat would not walk under the sun unless it is necessary. However, there was a woman wearing a black short-sleeved outfit, with three thousand smooth black hair casually draped over her shoulders, and with beautiful features. She walked on the main road of the Jixia Academy without paying any attention to the scorching sun.

Her healthy wheat-like skin glowed in the sunlight, and her feet made crisp sounds as they landed on the slightly hot concrete floor.

"Miss Duanmu, you are confused!"

"What's so good about that Wushuang-kun? He's a well-known pervert, but beautiful women are flocking to him like moths to a flame?"

"For several days, Miss Duanmu has been delivering a bowl of soup to Wushuang Jun every day. I want to drink it too!"

……

This woman who doesn't care about the hot weather at all is Duanmu Rong, the heir of a family of doctors.

Since Duanmu Rong entered the Jixia Academy, she has gained a lot of support among the students with her superb medical skills, beautiful appearance, and cold style. Countless people are obsessed with her and want to win her heart. However, no matter how outstanding a man is, Duanmu Rong keeps her distance from him.

Although Duanmu Rong had rejected all the suitors more than once, she was not discouraged because she had never expressed her affection to any man. Unexpectedly, Wushuang, the fourth son of the empire, had been in close contact with Duanmu Rong a few days after coming to Linzi. In the past few days, Duanmu Rong would bring a bowl of soup to Tianxuan every day.

Tianxuan's reputation for women was well known to anyone with ears. When they thought that this proud and cold Tianshan Snow Lotus would be plucked by a playboy, all of Duanmu Rong's suitors beat their chests and stamped their feet, wailing. If Tianxuan's reputation for martial arts was not as well-known as his reputation for women, I'm afraid many people would have challenged him to a duel.

Even so, seeing Duanmu Rong going to the old site of the Qi Palace to send Tang back, the young and energetic men still wailed and their hearts were broken.

"Rong'er, you are playing with fire."

Along the way, Duanmu Rong naturally heard the groans, screams, and cries coming from all around, but the Mirror Lake Medical Immortal turned a deaf ear to them and didn't take them to heart at all. In the past few days, because the debate to decide the position of Jixia Academy was about to begin, everything in the academy had to revolve around this debate.

Therefore, Duanmu Rong, the heir of the medical family, had a long-lost leisure time. Ignoring everyone, Duanmu Rong returned to her residence in Jixia Academy. As soon as she opened the door, a voice with hidden worry sounded and entered Duanmu Rong's ears.

Nian Duan, the head of the medical family, was sitting on a rattan chair. Although there were a few wrinkles on his face, his smooth and white hands were holding a medical book and reading it with relish. He saw Duan Mu Rong coming in from the corner of his eye, put down the medical book in his hand, and said with some worry.

In front of her mentor, Duanmu Rong took off the indifference that she used as a protective color, came to Nian Duan's side, took one of Nian Duan's soft hands, and said coquettishly: "Master, you don't think that I would fall in love with a playboy like Tian Xuanzi?" Halfway through the words, Duanmu Rong's pretty face showed disgust from the bottom of her heart.

"If I can afford to offend him, I would like to give him an injection so that he can no longer harm women!"

Nian Duan raised his hand to stroke Duan Mu Rong's hair and said softly, "Rong'er, your teacher is not afraid that you will fall in love with Tian Xuanzi. I just want to say that if you continue to get involved with the Anti-Qin Alliance, you are playing with fire!"

Although Nian Duan found Duan Mu Rong, he did not show up in the Jixia Academy. He was elusive every day. Even Duan Mu Rong, a disciple, could not see her master every day. Hearing her master's words, Duan Mu Rong's expression changed drastically. She looked at Nian Duan with a panic. She really didn't expect that her actions could not be hidden from her master's eyes. "Master, I have no choice." Duan Mu Rong lowered her head, as if she had done something wrong when she was a girl, and whispered, "Xue Nu has been my good sister for many years. She wants to gamble with her chastity. I can't just sit back and watch."

"Ugh!"

Nian Duan understood her beloved disciple very well. She knew that although she seemed cold on the outside, she was actually warm-hearted on the inside. It was indeed a bit too much to ask her to sit back and watch her good sister, whom she had known for many years, jump into the fire pit. She sighed silently.

"Rong'er, it would be fine if the Mo family succeeds. If they fail, you might as well think about what bargaining chips you have to calm Tian Xuanzi's anger?"

This?
Duan Mu Rong got involved purely out of friendship for her good sister. When Nian Duan said this, Duan Mu Rong finally reacted, her pretty face full of panic.

"At worst, I can use myself to appease Tian Xuanzi." After a few breaths of silence, Duan Murong said, "I just don't believe that Tian Xuanzi, with his romantic and passionate character, would be willing to reject me?"

………………

"Donkey meat, spiced donkey meat!"

"White flour, ten cents a pound!"

"Boss, what should we do about this?"

……

In the past, when Su Qin was lobbying the King of Qi, he said that there were 70,000 households in Linzi, the capital of Qi. If three men were selected from each household, an army of 200,000 could be formed. However, people in later generations ridiculed Su Qin for not caring about the gap between the poor and the poor. This statement was so fantastic that it gave rise to a saying: Don't care about anything!

However, as the saying goes, there is no smoke without fire, Su Qin's words were not without reason. Linzi City was indeed very prosperous, and the salt produced here and in the surrounding cities was sold to half of the world. Originally, after the fall of Qi, Linzi City would gradually wither and decline due to the loss of its political status as the capital.

However, after the unification of the empire, in order to obtain officials who could consolidate the foundation of the empire, Zhengge did not abolish the Jixia Academy, but transformed it into an important base for cultivating talents for the empire. Because of the existence of the Jixia Academy, Linzi City did not decline, but became more and more prosperous. Walking on the streets, the wide roads were busy with cars and people.

There are stalls on both sides of the street, selling all kinds of goods. The shouts and hawking sounds are intertwined, making it extremely noisy.

"Perhaps, such a day cannot satisfy everyone. But it is enough to satisfy most people."

There are only three days left before the debate between Guiguzi, Xunzi, Beimingzi, and Donghuang Taiyi. Tianxuan has already drunk eight bowls of the twelve zodiac nourishing soup. Today, he is very bored, so he takes Yanfei, Yueshen, Da Siming, Shao Siming, Xiaomeng, and Xiaoyu, the maid, out for a walk.

Looking at this prosperous scene and the people who were wearing coarse linen clothes but had hope on their faces, Tianxuan raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said in a complacent tone.

"That's absolutely right." Yan Fei, who was standing next to Tian Xuan, nodded slightly, agreeing with her husband's point of view.
