Meet the Gentleman

Chapter 13: Asking the Dean to Take Action
The mountain stream was silent in the afternoon.

Feng Qingyan sat cross-legged on the snow not far from the wooden house, writing.

The spotless white clothes, like snow, seemed to blend into one with the heaven and earth, appearing ethereal and otherworldly.

A few days ago, on the streets of Bocheng, several students passed by him and seemed to have inexplicable malice towards him.

This may be the source.

And the people who harmed him were most likely them, or one or two of them.

However, he still couldn't figure out why the two parties had inexplicable malice towards him when they had no connection at all?

His originally gentle gaze gradually turned cold.

A gentleman repays evil with justice and repays kindness with kindness!

"Brother Feng."

Zhou Chang's voice came from a distance.

Feng Qingyan collected his thoughts and looked over, just in time to see Zhou Chang walking towards him, one step deep and one step shallow, followed by the middle-aged groom he had seen before.

Zhou Chang arrived a moment later, looked around and said, "This place is really nice, quiet and suitable for studying. Brother Feng, do you mind if I build a thatched cottage next to it?"

"Why would you mind?"

Feng Qingyan stood up and said with a smile: "I am very welcome to have Brother Zhou accompany me on the Holy Path. I couldn't ask for more."

"Then it's settled."

Zhou Chang said cheerfully, then remembered something and said, "In the past two days, I have heard some bad rumors about you, Brother Feng, but Brother Feng doesn't mind. Rumors are always rumors, and not many people believe them..."

Feng Qingyan suddenly understood what Zhou Chang meant, so he bowed slightly and said, "Thank you, Brother Zhou."

Although it was only a few days, Zhou Chang's eloquence and talent won the respect of many students. No matter they were from aristocratic families or poor families, they all admired him and almost followed his lead.

Besides, Zhou Chang was handsome and elegant, and he was also the grandson of a prince in the royal city.

This made the students admire him even more.

As long as he and Feng Qingyan lived together, or the two of them traveled together, the rumors about Feng Qingyan would be self-defeating.

"It's just a piece of cake." Zhou Chang said with a smile.

……

Under the night.

At the Xueyue Inn, Che Gai felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy and was completely restless.

"Don't worry, Baji, things may not be as serious as you think." Fu Lin stayed with Che Gai after dark.

Che Gai shook his head, feeling more and more uneasy.

"How about, let's go to my room?" Fu Lin suggested after a flash of inspiration.

Che Gai's eyes lit up when he heard this, but... he hesitated for a moment and shook his head, saying: "The evil ghost is coming for me, how can I put you in danger because of myself? If..."

"What if the evil spirit is not targeting you?" Fu Lin interrupted.

"Not targeting me?"

Che Gai was stunned for a moment before he understood what was going on. He said in astonishment, "Zizhi, are you saying that the evil spirit might be targeting this room? Is there something wrong with this room?"

"Why don't you just give it a try and know?"

"Well."

Che Gai was so tempted that he couldn't refuse at all.

At this time, the two men moved immediately and did not relax their vigilance, but Che Gai felt more and more uneasy as the night deepened.

After midnight, Che Gai's face turned pale and his forehead was covered with cold sweat.

"Eight Extremes——"

When Fu Lin saw Che Gai’s face full of fear, he couldn’t help but call out to him softly.

"It, it's coming again."

At this moment, Che Gai's body trembled suddenly, with extreme fear in his eyes. He pointed at the door and said in panic: "Zizhi, did you hear it? It's knocking on the door again."

Fu Lin was stunned. Why was there any noise outside the door?
"It, it's hitting the door, it's hitting the door and coming in." Che Gai was so frightened that his face turned pale and he was shaking like a sieve. However, at this moment, he had a strange illusion that the evil ghost outside the door was angry.

This is a bit like when the subordinates don't do their job well, the master gets angry, so the subordinates get angry... Now the evil ghost seems to be getting angry too.

"Zizhi, what should we do? It's about to break down the door." Che Gai was so frightened by the evil ghost that he was at a loss.

Fu Lin frowned and wanted to open the door to take a look.

"do not want!"

Che Gai was horrified and said, "Zizhi, don't open the door. If you open the door, I will definitely die."

Fu Lin had no choice but to stop, frowning and saying in confusion: "Baji, but there is nothing outside the door, is it your hallucination?"

Che Gai shook his head repeatedly and said, "It's not an illusion, it's not an illusion."

"It seems that I can only greet you, Master." Fu Lin was silent for a moment, then asked: "Can this door... still hold out until dawn?"

"I don't know. It hit the door very hard. I'm afraid it won't be able to hold on for much longer." Che Gai said anxiously.

"Then I'll go and invite him now," said Fu Lin.

"But we can't open the door," Che Gai said. "As soon as we open the door, it will definitely take the opportunity to get in."

"Before, it seemed that as soon as we showed up, the evil ghost left?" Fu Lin asked, "I'll wake them up first and see if I can scare it away."

"it is good."

After a while, several students came running over after hearing the noise, but the evil ghost outside the door was not scared away, but banged on the door even more violently, scaring Che Gai so much that he kept shouting not to open the door.

"Evil ghost? Where is the evil ghost?"

"It's been three days in a row. Do you think we are fools?"

Although Fu Lin believed Che Gai, they believed their own eyes more, and some even couldn't help but curse at Che Gai.

Since Fu Lin couldn't get out and the others were unwilling to help, there was no way to ask Dean An for help.

boom!
boom!
The door was already shaky and wouldn't hold up for much longer.

Che Gai's scalp felt like it was exploding, and he murmured to Fu Lin: "Zizhi, the door is about to break, what should I do?"

Fu Lin felt that he could not help and felt extremely ashamed.

"It's almost dawn, everything will be fine as long as it's dawn." He had to comfort her by saying that it was indeed almost dawn.

Soon, daybreak finally arrived.

The evil ghost outside the door was unable to break in. It seemed that there was a mysterious force blocking it, and it could only leave in disappointment.

But the wheelbarrow inside the door lay limp on the ground like mud.

"Zizhi, it will break into the door tonight and I will definitely die." Che Gai climbed up and said with a lifeless look. He didn't know why the evil ghost wanted to find him and when he had offended it.

"Baji, let's go find Dean An. Dean An will definitely be able to suppress the evil spirit." Fu Lin pulled Che Gai out of the room, and then took a carriage to the morning hall.

It was just dawn and the North Burial Road was very deserted.

The carriage stopped after crossing Lingshui Bridge. Fu Lin pulled the carriage to a thatched cottage and said to the old man with a worn-out hatchet, "Old sir, where is Master An? I have something urgent to ask you, so please let me know."

"The master is in the morning hall."

The old man looked up, glanced at the two of them and said.

After the two of them exchanged greetings, they hurried towards the morning hall. When they got closer, they were stunned. They didn't expect that Dean An would actually give a private lesson to someone.

This made them extremely envious.

Who is so lucky to be favored by Master An?

"Humph!"

When he saw clearly who it was, Che Gai became very unhappy and could not help but snort in his heart.

An illiterate commoner, yet he can be so detached from the world, as if he is not of this worldly nature, and now he is favored by Lord An, which makes him very jealous.

Why not myself?
