Bai Yangping stood behind the house, watching Gu Qianying silently, a gentle look slowly appearing in his eyes.
The young attendant behind him reported, "Master, these people pester Bai Qing every day. This is not a good influence, is it?"
Bai Yangping smiled in his eyes, but shook his head.
"How is it not a good influence? This is excellent. This person saved everyone from dire straits, and saved you too. Do you still have any complaints?"
The young attendant lowered his head in embarrassment and mumbled.
"But Master, aren't your eyes staring too intently? Isn't it going to cause trouble if you stare so directly at another girl?"
Bai Yangping's expression changed, and he quickly lowered his gaze.
He quickly restrained his gaze and hastily explained, "Nonsense. These are all my students. How could I have any other thoughts? You're truly being ridiculous."
The young attendant silently grumbled in his heart.
Master, stop pretending. Just now, your eyes looked as if you wanted to hold her in your arms.
Bai Yangping coughed and quickly instructed the attendant, "What are you still standing here for? Go and do your work."
"Understood, Master." The young attendant, helpless, left with Bai Yangping.
However, he was still reluctant to leave the lively scene behind. He kept looking back, wanting to see who this person was that could attract their Master.
Bai Xiaoxiao and the others were still surrounding Gu Qianying, asking her all sorts of questions, about things in the sky and creatures on the ground, just to find something to talk about.
Gu Qianying knew that these people were accustomed to being served at home and had never suffered hardship. Therefore, they initially resented Gu Qianying. Now that their attitude towards her had changed, she did not hold a grudge and did not bother with them.
As time went by, these people became good friends.
They spent their days together, without the former flattery and deceit, without the former bickering and fighting. It was quite harmonious.
The female students of Shu Yu Pavilion did not study there for their entire lives.
They only needed to study there for three years. After three years, they would be of marriageable age. Usually, they would leave Shu Yu Pavilion. In the words of Shu Yu Pavilion, this was called graduation.
When they graduated, Shu Yu Pavilion would specifically prepare a graduation banquet for them.
The banquet was equivalent to a coming-of-age ceremony for these young women, so it was very lively, with lanterns and decorations, and the sounds of silk and bamboo were pleasant to the ear.
Under such an atmosphere.
The lingering somberness in Shu Yu Pavilion was quickly dissipating, leaving only boundless joy.
The wine that was usually not allowed in the academy was generously placed on the table for everyone to taste.
Shu Yu Pavilion did not allow drinking, which made Duan Xifeng extremely thirsty.
As soon as he heard that he could drink, his eyes lit up. He didn't eat anything, but sat on the stool and gulped down the wine, saying as he drank.
"This is truly good stuff. This wretched place is too stifling. There's nothing here. I've been eating plain food every day and have become thin. Who founded this academy? You, boy, come out! I will not let you go."
He was drunk and couldn't distinguish anything.
He walked unsteadily, his clothes hanging loosely, astonishing everyone.
Gu Qianying was surrounded by the female students of the academy and could not break free.
Otherwise, if she had discovered this situation, she would have immediately grabbed Duan Xifeng and prevented her from losing face here.
When drunk, Duan Xifeng disregarded everyone.
Because of Gu Qianying, the women in the academy had not mocked Duan Xifeng for a long time.
Seeing this person in such a state, they stepped forward to persuade her, "This is a graduation banquet, not a place for debauchery. Hurry and come down. How can a woman behave like this? Master will scold you."
Duan Xifeng's eyes twinkled with starlight, and he felt that the people in front of him were swaying, so he waved his arms irritably.
"You speak, but why are you swaying? It's improper."
Those below were anxious, their eyes red, stomping their feet, "How can you drink like this? Stop quickly."
Duan Xifeng laughed heartily, continued to drink, and said with unrestrained freedom.
"Let me tell you, what does it mean that a woman cannot behave like this? You are pedantic. You are women yourselves, so why are you so harsh? Who are you performing for? Who are you performing for?"
After saying this, he suddenly paused and let out a loud hiccup.
The sound was so loud that it startled those below, making them tremble and almost fall to the ground.
The person began to laugh foolishly.
Suddenly, someone from below said, "Miss, didn't you just say that women cannot, but men can? But I am a man! Why should I care about these things?"
Under the erosion of drunkenness, Duan Xifeng disregarded everything and tore open his clothes.
The entire scene was filled with his arrogant voice and the sound of his clothes being torn.
"I'm telling you, I'm a man. What do you want to do to me? You can't do anything to me. I've been acting for you for so long, and I'm tired of it!"
He jumped up and down on the stool, his bare chest exposed to everyone.
The people on the scene were immediately startled, and sharp screams echoed.
They all covered their eyes and fled from here in a panic.
"Help! Pervert! Where did this madman come from! Where did this madman come from!"
Hearing the commotion here.
Gu Qianying quickly jumped out of the crowd. Seeing the scene, she was distressed and tapped her head, expressing her annoyance.
"Didn't I tell you not to drink? This is really going to cause big trouble!"
Gu Qianying quickly rushed forward, trying to pull Duan Xifeng away to prevent the situation from escalating.
This was an academy. Apart from the Master, ordinary men were not allowed to approach, which was a rule.
If a man from outside were caught, he would be sent back to his family and subjected to torture.
Duan Xifeng's eyes were filled with confusion, not yet aware of what would happen.
Bai Xiaoxiao happened to run over from the side.
Duan Xifeng reached out his hand and laughed happily again, "You are my brother, don't go!"
Bai Xiaoxiao jumped up like a rabbit, pushing Duan Xifeng's arm in panic, "What are you doing! Get away from me! I'm going to tell Master, I'm going to arrest you, I'm going to throw you out!"
These threats were useless to Duan Xifeng.
He naturally had no intention of doing anything to this woman, but vaguely withdrew his hand, saying with great dissatisfaction.
"You shrew, you always like to bully me, I don't like you!"
As he said this, his body, for some reason, suddenly leaned towards Bai Xiaoxiao.
Bai Xiaoxiao could not support such a heavy force and was also heavily thrown to the ground.
