Chapter 146 Farewell to Fu Sinian

"From today onwards, Fu Sinian will no longer be a student of my Huangu Academy."

Huang Duo flicked his sleeves, pretending to be the head of the church, unwilling to listen to others.

"In this matter, even if the head of the mountain comes, there is no room for maneuver!"

Huang Du's words were resounding, as if he had just awakened Fu Sinian who was stunned.

Fu Sinian never looked at Huang Du, his sharp eyes only looked at the blood-stained Qingdai in front of the stele.

Even if Qing Dai came to the academy to make trouble, but Fu Sinian still gave this woman a chance when he found mottled scars hidden on her body.

However, now that she is hitting the monument in front of everyone, the last chance he gave her is unnecessary...

The cold eyes and reprimands of the surrounding students, the sneer at the corners of You Zhi's lips, and even Jiang Shan's complacent hiding behind the edge of the crowd, only made Fu Sinian not care about picking his lips.

Until... Out of the corner of my eye, the light blue woman's skirt flew up, and Fu Sinian's back was slightly stiff.

On the long table in the Library Pavilion, there was a burst of curling.

Lu Jiuxi looked at the silent Fu Sinian, frowning tightly.

What Huang Duo said is correct, although he is the head of the mountain, he has always performed his duties in the academy, and he can't cover the sky with one hand.

And no matter what the truth is, it is an indisputable fact that Qingdai hit the stone tablet.

The fastest way to calm down at this time is for Fu Sinian to leave Huangu Academy, so that Fu Sinian himself will be better off!

After a few years, the influence of this incident will fade away, so that his reputation will not affect his imperial examination.

The originally refreshing incense burner, and Lu Jiuxi's pacing voice, actually made people feel depressing in the room at this moment.

"Si Nian—"

Lu Jiuxi's faltering voice finally settled down at this moment.

He directly took out two letters wrapped in kraft paper from his arms, and then patted Fu Sinian on the shoulder.

"There is still a long way to go in the future, don't be affected by a momentary incident..."

Fu Sinian lowered his head silently, looking at the three bold characters on the envelope, "Letter of recommendation."

After a silence, the corners of Fu Sinian's dry lips twitched, he nodded and thanked Lu Jiuxi dully.

Seeing the back of the young man leaving the study, Lu Jiuxi sighed silently.

After leaving the Library Pavilion, I saw Song Yan and others waiting at the door.

Seeing the worry in their brows and eyes, Fu Sinian actually smiled, but his voice was still a bit difficult.

"In the future...if I'm not in the academy, you, this group of people, no one is allowed to forget me."

"Did you hear me!"

Knowing that Fu Sinian didn't want everyone to worry about him, Song Yan stepped forward and patted Fu Sinian's shoulder, and rarely raised his lips easily.

"In the future, martial arts will be easy for you. You don't need to be distracted by the academy, you can prepare with peace of mind!"

As the words fell, everyone's voices also sounded.

"Fu Zhuangshi, we will be trapped in the academy in the future, and you will be the only one to go shopping for us in the bustling East Market in Lin'an City!"

"That's right! When the time comes, when you rest and take a bath, don't forget to go out for a drink with your brothers—"

The surrounding echoes sounded, and the atmosphere became a little more relaxed.

The young scholar's frank and sincere words made Fu Sinian's originally tense back relax.

Fu Sinian raised the envelope in his hand, and the first genuine smile from the heart appeared in his brows and eyes after today's incident.

"Don't worry, here is the recommendation letter from the head of the mountain. Even if I am not here in the future, I will still be a fellow with everyone."

After understanding Fu Sinian's meaning, everyone's eyes lit up, and their originally gripped hearts relaxed.

Fu Sinian looked through the crowd and looked at Song Yan, "I'll go back and pack my things first..."

Song Yan only nodded when he heard the words, and saw his back going away.

The scholars who were relatively close at the door of Zangshu Pavilion had just said hello and were about to leave one after another, but they were suddenly stopped by Song Yan.

Song Yan twitched her lips, lowered her eyes for a moment to consider, raised her eyelids and said to everyone.

"There are no classes in the academy tomorrow—"

"If you have nothing to do, come to my village, and we brothers will drink and eat meat to have a good gathering."

Song Yan understood Fu Sinian. Even if Fu Sinian wanted to leave Huangu Academy, he would definitely not leave sadly under the eyes of pity, disgust or blame.

If he wanted to leave, he had to leave in a dignified manner, leaving with the farewell and blessings of his friends.

Only the weak need mercy.

Their pride decided that Fu Sinian needed blessings rather than pity.

The cloth shoes stepped on the dried maple leaves, making a crisp clicking sound, and watched the backs of the people go away.

Song Yan pursed his lips and stopped hesitating, the young man decisively turned his head and looked at Gu Baozhu in the corner.

From the beginning to the end, Gu Baozhu did not speak.

She didn't know how to comfort her, or Fu Sinian didn't need their comfort either.

Suppressing the emotion in his heart, and aware of the gaze above his head, Gu Baozhu realized that the scholars who had gathered together before had all scattered away at this moment.

Meeting Song Yan's gaze, Gu Baozhu pursed her lips.

Because of Luo Yi's incident in Pingkangfang in the past, since returning to the academy, the two of them have never had any interaction.

They all understand that at this moment, they are actually holding their breath in each other's hearts.

At this moment, the two stood facing each other, and there was no one else around, so the atmosphere seemed a little awkward.

Song Yan's eyes fell on the gold foil pasted on Gu Baozhu's forehead, and occasionally the breeze blew by, as if there were occasional fine pieces of gold fluttering, shining brightly against the sun.

The young man finally spoke, his tone was normal, but he called her princess in a strange way.

"Tomorrow is also the day of archery practice. Song will wait for the princess at Zhuangzi."

Suppressing the chaotic emotions in his heart, Song Yan didn't want to care about Pingkangfang or the things in his dream at the moment.

At this moment, he only wanted to do something for Fu Sinian as Fu Sinian's brother first.

Gu Baozhu brushed the hair by his ears with his own hands, and only hummed softly towards Song Yan, which was regarded as an agreement.

"If it's possible, the princess might as well call Miss Shen over, so we can get together!"

The young man's voice was steady, as if it did not contain any emotions.

Gu Baozhu clenched his sleeves, raised his head and smiled at Song Yan after a while, his smile was bright and impeccable, and seemed to be free of any emotions.

"Okay, I'll ask her when the time comes—"

After finishing speaking, Gu Baozhu nodded towards Song Yan, passed him directly and entered the library.

Although Gu Baozhu only told Song Yan to try, but Gu Baozhu knew in his heart that she would definitely call Shen Lanqing tomorrow.

Gu Baozhu understood Song Yan's meaning, and she also saw the whole thing about Pingkangfang, so she wanted to do something for Fu Sinian.

As for Shen Lanqing, Gu Baozhu knew her well, if he invited her, she would not refuse.

Moreover, the county test was approaching, and she was under a lot of pressure recently, Gu Baozhu also wanted to find a chance to let Shen Lanqing's tense strings relax.

The next morning, Zhuangzi's last autumn morning mist had not dissipated.

However, the laughing and energetic voices of the young scholars have already resounded in Song Yan's Zhuangzi.

Everyone discussed it, and although it was not March in Yangchun, they decided to eat the most down-to-earth barbecue.

The maple leaves are all over the ground, and it looks like a red mountain in the distance.

Song Yan laid a few clean square cloths on the maple leaf floor.

Because of the rush of time, Song and Fu didn't have time to hunt in the forest.

So Song Yan could only send his servants to the restaurant in Lin'an City to purchase some various marinated meat according to the list.

The only fish that had been cleaned up were caught by the youths themselves in the mountain stream early this morning.

Fishing in the mountain stream is a bit more self-sufficient fun.

Song Yan lit the charcoal fire in the lower layer of the iron-cast square furnace and watched the dots of flames light up.

Then he picked up the fresh fish that had just been processed, stuffed green onion, ginger and garlic into the navel with his fingers nimbly, and then coated the surface of the fish skin with a light layer of salt.

Seeing that the fire was already on fire, the young man put the fish into a wooden stick of even thickness.
