“Master Jiang is a big shot from the capital, and he has admitted it.”
“That’s right, that’s right.”
“Hey, wait a minute, maybe not everyone knows it. Wouldn’t it be good if we talked about it now?”
After these words came out, the students became quiet. Then they looked at each other, and one person asked tentatively: “But the teacher didn’t warn you not to say it?”
Mr. Liu looked for an opportunity and asked, “What is the name of this big shot from the capital you are talking about?”
“Master Jiang’s full name is Jiang Tong.”
“Mr. Jiang Meng is Grandpa Jiang’s daughter, and she also teaches in the night class.”
When he heard Jiang Tong’s name, Mr. Liu was stunned. When he heard Jiang Meng again… unless someone dared to pretend to be two people, it must be the two people he knew.
The description of ‘big shot’ in the capital is indeed correct.
Especially Jiang Tong, he was a figure whom all the kings showed courtesy to.
If they said that the monarch would come to watch the ceremony in person, it would definitely not be wrong.
Mr. Liu’s dusty memories were unearthed by this news, and a figure of a certain person emerged.
The king has come, how can that person not come?
A fire burned in Mr. Liu’s heart, and he went straight to the place of work, ignoring the doubtful inquiries and calls of the students. He even forgot to eat lunch until Zuo Si suddenly visited, and what happened next comminicate.
…
In the afternoon, Mi August waited until Mi Feixue was out of school and had dinner with her before leaving, opened any door and returned to the inn where she was temporarily staying in Shanxia City.
She borrowed the riding beast at the inn, and the waiter who handed her over said, “A few people came to inquire about Senior Sister’s whereabouts today.”
Mi August was slightly surprised and asked him, “Can you recognize whether he is a new disciple of this class or a disciple of the previous class?”
The waiter said, “Both.”
Mi August was thoughtful, thanked him, and mounted the beast back to the academy.
After arriving at the academy’s inn, the serving disciple inside said similar words to her, but the following sentence also made the original meaning clear.
“Tomorrow is the day when the results of the monthly exam will be released. As a leader among the new disciples, Senior Sister has been missing for several days, which makes me anxious.”
Mi August said lightly as a joke, “It’s only when it breaks down that I have a chance to rise to the top.”
The disciple said flatteringly: “Senior Sister is joking, Senior Sister is on the list based on her true ability.”
