Chu Fan and Chu Xiaoxiao were currently sitting in the living room of the Fan Mansion.

Throughout the Qi Kingdom, many large families kept a house dedicated to entertaining guests.

This room was spacious, bright, and luxuriously decorated. The main seat was placed in the middle, and then to the left and right, in turn, were two rows of guest seats.

In a wealthy family, tea and snacks are served on the tea table, whether occupied or not.

But the Fan residence had no such conditions.

Although there were tables and chairs, there were no tea and snacks.

When the house was dismantled and converted into a study hall, it was even considered whether the living room should be eliminated as well.

But in the end, it was kept.

Although it was preserved, it has not been used for many years.

This is because few people, in particular, would come to the Fan House as guests.

Once, when the academy was unknown, no one came, and now that the academy is famous, most people go straight to the academy, much less come to the Fan House to find someone.

So even though the Fan family, now, could afford to keep the tea in the drawing room constantly, they simply did not choose to do so because no one would come, in order not to waste it. There were just maids and servant girls who cleaned from time to time to keep the living room basically tidy.

This person, Chu Fan, was an unexpected one after all these years.

Instead of choosing to go to the academy to find the director of the academy, he chose to come to the Fan House, to find the master of the Fan House.

He had come to find his father’s brother, Fan Yu, the Great General Fan. Not the Director of Antler Academy, Fan Changshu.

Chu Fan said to the servant girl, “I beg to see Fan Yu, General Fan.”

The young servant girl’s eyes widened.

“Who is Fan Yu?”

Chu Fan did not want to make things difficult for the servant girl; those who still knew the name “Fan Yu” were mostly high ranking members of the imperial court and former “old friends”. This servant girl is young, so it was normal for her not to know.

He said, “I wish to see the master of the Fan House, the head of the Fan family.”

The servant girl said, “Wait a moment, I will ask him for you.”

A few moments later, the servant girl returned.

She said, “Young Master will have to wait for a while, the master is still in the study.”

Chu Fan said, “I wonder if you can pass on a message for me, I really have something important to discuss with Uncle Fan.”

The servant girl said, “Master is at the academy, either teaching, writing or meeting with others. It’s not good for me to deliver a message.”

Although Chu Fan was bent on knowing what happened back then when the Chu family was exterminated, now that ten years had passed, there was no rush.

“May I ask, Miss, when will Uncle Fan return from the academy?”

The servant girl said, “Lunch, and in the evening after classes. If there is nothing else, Master will be back.”

Chu Fan nodded and said, “I will wait for Uncle Fan here.”

It was the first time the little servant girl had seen someone as strange as Chu Fan.

After she had spoken to the other maid sisters about this strange matter, one of the maids in charge, took it upon herself to go and look for Fan Ziruo.

This Fan House, to say the least, was not big, but not small.

The only two people who are really in charge are the master and the young lady.

Fan Ziruo dragged Du Yingyun with her and hurried towards the living room.

She had no interest in any of the gentry or ladies, but she liked the words written by Chu Xiaoxiao, ‘A Cut of Plum’.

It was so well written that even in the eyes of Fan Ziruo, who had read countless books, it could be ranked in the top ten.

There is no way to dismiss this love. But it is only when it is under the eyebrows that it is on the heart.

It is a true account of a woman’s longing, written to perfection.

Xiaoxiao accompanied her brother, Chu Fan, as he sat quietly in the living room of the Fan residence, where he was waiting for guests.

As the atmosphere was not too lively, she also just sat honestly in her seat and did not move around.

However, being as quiet as a lady was not her character.

But she cared for her brother very much and did not want to cause him any trouble. She could only open her big, pretty eyes and look left and right, bored.

The fan’s house is in a corner of the Antler Academy.

The scenery is naturally not bad.

However, even if the scenery was beautiful, it would not be interesting if you saw it too much.

Chu Xiaoxiao was bored when she suddenly heard a rush of footsteps.

Although the footsteps were fast-paced, they were light and soft, clearly the steps of a woman.

Chu Xiaoxiao secretly touched the bell.

He Yunxiao had already told her before that there was a Fan Ziruo in the Fan House, a bad woman who would like her brother.

She decided not to give this fan girl any slightest chance! Let alone getting close to her brother, she wouldn’t even allow one more glance at him!

As long as she dared to appear, Xiaoxiao would immediately ring the bell and call the professionals to handle the situation.

This person, He Yunxiao, was very professional when it came to other things.

Chu Xiaoxiao’s martial arts skills were much higher than Chu Fan’s, and she heard the footsteps first, before Chu Fan heard them later.

Chu Fan said, “Xiaoxiao, someone is coming.”

Chu Xiaoxia nodded. At the same time, her hand was already touching the bell, ready to shake someone immediately.

Ding!

As soon as the white-clothed Fan Ziruo appeared, the bell, which could only be heard by the Soul Devouring Pill, rang out into the distance.

Fan Ziruo arrived in the living room.

The Chu siblings sat on the guest seats and looked towards her in unison.

By all rights, she had come to see Chu Xiaoxiao. In reality, however, this was not the case. Her first glance fell on Chu Fan.

In short, even Fan Ziruo herself did not know why it was that her gaze fell on Chu Fan first, rather than on Chu Xiaoxiao, whom she wanted to see. Then, an inexplicable affection for Chu Fan rose up in her heart.

She felt that this person, Chu Fan, was obviously ordinary-looking, but just a little bit inexplicably handsome. And even though she obviously didn’t know anything about him, she somehow felt that he was reliable. That he was honest and sincere.

This feeling was simply unbelievable.

It was a feeling that He Yunxiao understood perfectly. To explain it with a professional term, it was called “protagonist’s aura”.

Fan Ziruo withdrew her gaze towards Chu Fan and turned to look at Chu Xiaoxiao.

To be honest, she was a little disappointed.

It was said that looks were born from the heart, and words were like people.

Although one could not believe it completely, there was truth to it.

Chu Xiaoxiao’s appearance and temperament were not even remotely similar to “A Cut of Plum”.

The first thing Fan Ziruo had to do when he brought Du Yingyun into the living room was to greet the guests.

“Young Master Chu, I am Fan Ziruo. This is my sister, Du Yinyun.”

Brother and sister Chu Fan also stood up from their seats. Using the usual arching salute in the Jianghu world, they said, “My name is Chu Fan, pleased meet Miss Fan, and Miss Du. This ……”

Not wanting Fan Ziruo, the bad woman, to continue to look at her brother, Xiaoxiao snatched up the words, “My name is Chu Xiaoxiao.”

Following Xiaoxiao’s words, Fan Ziruo placed his gaze on her.

Even though she was closer and could see more truly. Fan Ziruo still felt that Chu Xiaoxia could not write words like ‘One Cut Plum’.

She first invited the two siblings to sit down, and then called the servant girl to fetch snacks and fruits.

Afterwards, she said impatiently, “Miss Xiaoxia, did you write that song ‘A Cut of Plum’?”

Chu Xiaoxiao knew she didn’t. Chu Fan knew she hadn’t, and Fan Ziruo doubted she had. Only sister Du “saw with her own eyes” that Chu Xiaoxiao had composed it.

As her reputation was notorious, Xiaoxiao had to say, “I wrote it.”

Fan Ziruo said, “I would like to hear it, can Miss Xiaoxiao read it to me?”

Xiaoxiao: ……

She was not kind enough to say that she had forgotten.

At that time, it was Chu Chu, and He Yunxiao who exchanged words, so how could she, Xiao Xiao, remember it?

Xiaoxiao: Chu Chu, do you remember how to recite that word?

Chu Chu: No, I don’t remember.

Xiaoxiao: How can you not remember!

Chu Chu:

Fan Ziruo looked at a torn Chu Xiaoxiao and just assumed that she was embarrassed, rather than forgetting. To her, it was hard for her to imagine that a person could forget the superb words she had written.

Even if she hadn’t written it, wouldn’t such good words be remembered after hearing them once?

Chu Fan was aware that Chu Xiaoxiao could not write poetry, so he hastened to help his sister out.

“Although Xiaoxiao and I are not biological siblings, we know each other better than blood relatives. Xiaoxiao is not good at poetry, so I’m afraid that the poem she wrote that day was inspired by chance, and she probably doesn’t remember it now. I also had an occasional feeling about Yang Zhe’s poem that day. Although I cannot reproduce it, I can copy it with my sword intent, so if you want to see it, I will make a fool of myself.”

Fan Ziruo’s eyes lit up.

Copying poetic intent with sword intent?

I had never heard of such a practice before.

Due to her tender body, she was very interested in stories of warriors.

At that moment, she said, “Then Fan Ziruo would like to thank Young Master Chu in advance.”
