Chapter 96 Six Brothers and Sisters Gather

"Second Senior Brother, it's me, Wenqing."

When Xiao Beiming went to Xuanfeng Mountain to learn martial arts, he used the alias Wen Qing. Wen was his original surname, and Qing was the name he chose himself.

When Ao Yuan heard Xiao Beiming say the name Wen Qing, he finally confirmed that Xiao Beiming was his fifth junior brother.

Fu Heng looked at Xiao Beiming with great excitement, "I never expected that after so many years, my fifth junior brother has grown into such a handsome and elegant young man. He is truly a perfect match for my junior sister."

Fuheng felt that it wasn't a waste for someone like his fifth junior brother to be with his junior sister, since she liked good-looking men.

Among her fellow disciples, the junior sister always liked the fourth junior brother the most. The reason was simple: the fourth junior brother was the most handsome. Her affection was that straightforward.

Upon hearing Fu Heng's words, Xiao Beiming couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips and look at Luo Chujiu beside him.

Luo Chujiu showed no embarrassment whatsoever, as if they weren't talking about her.

She initially took a liking to Xiao Beiming simply because he was handsome. Otherwise, even if he was her destined lover, she would have found a hundred ways to break off their marriage!

But seeing how handsome he was, she went along with it.

Not long after, Nalan Qingyin returned from court. Seeing her fellow disciples there, she realized that Xiao Beiming was her fifth junior brother.

When Xiao Beiming saw Nalan Qingyin, he immediately stood up and greeted her.
"Fourth senior brother."

"Sit down, how have you been lately?"

"Yes, I'm much better now and haven't had any relapses. But as for my schizophrenia, does Fourth Senior Brother have a way to cure it once and for all?"

Upon hearing this, Nalan Qingyin glanced at Xiao Beiming and said:

"To cure you, we must know the cause of your soul splitting. However, judging from your appearance, you probably don't know. Xiao Jiu mentioned to me before that someone placed a restriction on you. Unless we find that person, your soul splitting disease cannot be cured."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Beiming frowned.

He was aware that there was a restriction on his body, but he didn't know who placed it on him, as if a piece of his memory had simply vanished.

"What? Fifth Junior Brother has a restriction on him? How could someone possibly place a restriction on someone? That profound technique must be incredibly skilled. In this world, apart from Grandmaster, there is probably no one else who could do it."

“Second Senior Brother, there are always mountains beyond mountains and people beyond people. You can’t be sure about these things,” Nalan Qingyin interrupted Ao Yuan and explained.

For a moment, everyone was silent.

"Alright, fellow senior brothers, let's not talk about unhappy things anymore. How about we all go to our eldest senior brother's house for a meal? That way, all six of us senior brothers and sisters can be together!"

Luo Chujiu really craved the dishes made by Kong Xianling's chef. She thought they were so delicious that she could never get enough of them.

When Luo Chujiu made this suggestion, the others exchanged glances and, without any objection, unanimously agreed to it.

Then the group took a carriage to the Confucius Mansion.

Kong Xianling was unaware that Xiao Beiming was her fifth junior brother, and when she heard the news, she was extremely shocked.

He had met Xiao Beiming several times, but had never realized that he was actually the fifth junior brother.
Xiao Beiming respected this senior brother the most, not only because of his age, but also because of his rich experience. Throughout the Nanzhao Kingdom, few dared to disrespect Kong Xianling. His disciples were all over the country and in the court. Anyone who offended Kong Xianling would be attacked by the masses.

"I hope you are well, Senior Brother."

Upon seeing his fifth junior brother again, Kong Xianling was filled with emotion and patted him on the shoulder:

"It's good that you're back. I was just glad you were safe and sound. I never expected you to be Prince Xiao of Nanzhao. That's quite a surprise."

Kong Xianling really thought that his fifth junior brother had met with some misfortune after being missing for so many years. Otherwise, why would there be no news of him for so many years?
Aside from the accident, Kong Xianling couldn't think of any other reason. What she didn't expect was that she had simply lost her memories of that year and become a different person.

"I never expected things to turn out like this, causing my senior brothers to worry," Xiao Beiming said apologetically.

"It's alright, the best thing is that you're perfectly fine," Kong Xianling said with a smile.

The others nodded in agreement.

"Senior Brother, it's almost noon. We'd like to have lunch with you. You won't mind, will you? I'm craving the sweet and sour fish the chef made last time! It was so delicious!"

Hearing them reminiscing, Luo Chujiu's mind was filled with thoughts of food; she couldn't wait to eat that sweet and sour fish from last time.

Upon hearing Luo Chujiu's words, everyone couldn't help but laugh out loud. Then they sat down together to drink tea and stopped talking about Xiao Beiming's past.

After sitting for a short while, a servant came to inform them that lunch was ready. Luo Chujiu was the first to rush out and get to the front hall as quickly as possible.

The senior students looked at her with doting eyes and shook their heads.

However, Luo Chujiu was still very polite. Before her senior brothers took their seats, she stood to the side. Only after they all came to the dining room and sat down did she sit down. To her left was Xiao Beiming, and to her right was Nalan Qingyin. The atmosphere was very cheerful.

This was Xiao Beiming's first time eating with Luo Chujiu, and he was quite surprised to see Luo Chujiu eating so heartily.

He was raised to eat slowly and carefully, so he always ate slowly, unlike Luo Chujiu.
However, unexpectedly, he felt that Luo Chujiu's way of eating would taste better, so he couldn't help but imitate her and eat in big bites!

Then I found that it really tasted better than before!
Xiao Beiming's eyes lit up with sudden realization. No wonder Luo Chujiu wanted to eat like this; it tasted better that way!
However, Xiao Beiming truly misunderstood. Luo Chujiu was eating so heartily simply because the food was so delicious and she was hungry! There was no other meaning behind it.

Among the group, only the fifth junior brother and the youngest junior sister could be considered peers in terms of age. The other senior brothers were their elders, so they couldn't help but shake their heads when they saw the young people eating like this.

However, it would be more appropriate for the fifth junior brother and the junior sister to be together like this.

After eating and drinking her fill, Luo Chujiu slumped into her chair, rubbing her stomach with obvious satisfaction.

"Senior Brother, why don't you give me the chef from your manor? That way I won't be craving your dishes every time, and I can eat delicious food every day."

Luo Chujiu began negotiating with Kong Xianling, hoping he would give her the cook.

Upon hearing this, Kong Xianling smiled and stroked his white beard:

"That won't do. Without this chef, how can I entice my junior sister to visit my senior brother's residence? From now on, if you want to eat, just come to my senior brother's residence anytime, anywhere, and you can eat there."

"Hahaha, Senior Brother is truly wise."
