Rêve de Jiangshan

Chapitre 70

Mu Wenchen watched Ru Feng enter the courtyard before turning back. However, a wide smile involuntarily spread across his face. Luckily it was dark, otherwise it would have been terrifying. Just imagine, someone who hadn't smiled all year suddenly bursting into such a wide grin – wouldn't that be frightening?

When Mu Wenchen returned to his room, the smile on his face had not yet faded.

Mu Tong put down the teapot and couldn't help but ask, "Master, what are you laughing at?"

Mu Wenchen glanced at Mu Tong and said, "It's nothing, I just suddenly felt better."

Mu Tong remained silent, but her face was somewhat stiff. Could it be that Ru Feng and her master's good time was about to begin?

When Ru Feng returned to the dormitory, Yu Xuan was still awake. Seeing Ru Feng return, her fair face was slightly flushed, so he said sarcastically, "What, you're finally back?"

Ru Feng looked at Yu Xuan, then remembered that she wanted to ask about Yu Jue. So she ignored his sarcasm and said, "Brother Xuan," in a sweet voice.

Yu Xuan immediately jumped out of bed and shouted, "You're being so sweet, it can't be anything good. Just say what you have to say, I don't care about your sweet talk. Only your brother will fall for that."

Ru Feng pouted, feeling bored, and said, "Yu Xuan, do you think your brother has been in a bad mood lately? Otherwise, why was he unhappy to see me today? Is it because of my sister? You don't know, my sister has also been in a bad mood since you left. Do you think this has anything to do with Brother Jue?" Speaking of this, Ru Feng was quite troubled. In the first few days before coming to school, her parents kept asking her about Yu Jue and Ru Xue, but how would she know about their situation? She was with Mu Wen Chen that day and rarely got involved in their affairs.

Yu Xuan's face darkened, and he said, "You'd better not meddle in other people's business. My brother knows himself well."

Ru Feng looked at him with a wronged expression: "I was just worried about him, wasn't I? He wasn't like this before."

Yu Xuan couldn't stand Ru Feng's expression and quickly said, "Sigh, it'll be fine in a few days. You should go wash up and go to sleep."

So, Ru Feng had no choice but to obediently go to the back mountain to take a cold shower.

That night, Ru Feng couldn't fall asleep, whether from overwork or from being too energetic. But for the sake of his energy the next day, he closed his eyes and pretended to be fast asleep.

After an unknown amount of time, Ru Feng drifted off to sleep, his breathing becoming steady and even.

Soon, there was movement in the quiet room.

"Like the wind...like the wind..." Yu Xuan called out softly a few times.

There was no movement from Ru Feng's side.

“Ru Feng…” Yu Xuan called out softly again.

The clear moonlight shone through the window, and the blankets, as soft as the wind, didn't move an inch.

So, after a few rustling movements, Yu Xuan quickly pushed open the door and went out.

At this moment, Ru Feng suddenly sat up, frowned and thought for a while. Remembering his grandfather's instructions, he decided to go and take a look.

So he pushed back the covers, put on the black clothes and mask he had prepared in advance, and left the room without making a sound.

On the way, Ru Feng listened to Yu Xuan's movements for a while before quietly following behind him.

Volume One: The Young Man Who Didn't Know the Taste of Love, Chapter 73: The Crown Prince

On the way, Ru Feng listened intently to Yu Xuan's movements for a while before quietly following behind him.

Ru Feng concealed her tracks and followed Yu Xuan silently.

It was early spring, and the weather was still a little chilly. There was only a crescent moon and a few stars in the high night sky. Breathing in the faint scent of grass in the night air, Ru Feng suppressed the urge to yawn while inwardly grumbling about why Yu Xuan had to come out at this time.

After winding through the bushes and courtyards, Yu Xuan finally stopped.

Upon closer inspection, Ru Feng realized it was the library of Fengxian Academy. The library had only two floors, and usually only the first floor was open for students and teachers to borrow books. The second floor was always closed, and the lock leading to the second floor was covered in rust. The second floor was probably also covered in dust now.

However, after looking at the shadowy second floor, Ru Feng felt that it did indeed look like a treasure trove. Didn't the Shaolin Temple's Sutra Repository have many martial arts manuals? It's just that there were many masters watching over them.

Yu Xuan first looked around downstairs before leaping up, then carefully pushed open the door, moving with the lightness of a swallow and making no extra sound. Ru Feng sighed inwardly: So Yu Xuan's skills are quite impressive.

Ru Feng thought for a moment, then decided to follow. So, he lightly touched the ground with his toes, gathered his inner energy, and leaped up, landing lightly on the wooden floor. At this moment, Ru Feng, with his back bent, noticed some bells on the floor and some small sound-making objects on the doors and windows. He figured that if he used too much force, the whole second floor would ring.

Ru Feng glanced at Yu Xuan, who was groping around inside, and knew that Yu Xuan must have spent a long time researching before he could move so familiarly. Moreover, if Ru Feng wasn't mistaken, the formation at the entrance also contained the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams. Ru Feng didn't plan to go in now because she didn't understand these things, and she didn't know what traps were inside. Anyway, she knew that Yu Xuan inside was safe.

After an unknown amount of time, the waiting was unbearable. Ru Feng kept his eyes fixed on his surroundings. Sometimes, he would see one or two fools jump up, and Ru Feng would strike first, quietly taking care of them and then placing them on the ground where there were no bells. Fortunately, the people who came were not particularly skilled in martial arts, only good at light footwork. And Ru Feng used colorless and odorless sleeping potions, so he could still deal with them.

Of course, Ru Feng doesn't know how good his martial arts are right now. After a period of intensive training during the holidays, Ru Feng's skills have improved a lot. As for how much he has improved, Wu Qing Jian and Yu Chi Huai Yang didn't say, so Ru Feng doesn't know either.

Finally, after Ru Feng's unexpected methods dealt with the two people, Yu Xuan cautiously emerged from inside.

Carefully and cautiously, the two finally leaped down from the pavilion one after the other and ran towards the dormitory.

Just when Ru Feng thought he could go back to sleep, three men in black suddenly appeared in front of him! Their attire was similar to Ru Feng's, the kind of shady clothes that shouldn't be seen in public.

"Leave what you're carrying!" one of the men in black shouted.

Seeing this, Ru Feng swiftly leaped onto a nearby tree and hid himself. Taking this opportunity, Ru Feng also wanted to know just how high Yu Xuan's martial arts level was. Although he was usually no match for him in casual fights, what if Yu Xuan was intentionally hiding his strength?

So it's best to observe first before making a move; rashly intervening might ruin things for them. Ru Feng had just noticed someone following him, but since the person didn't seem malicious, he didn't intend to pay them any attention.

While Ru Feng was pondering, the group had already started fighting without saying a word.

Yu Xuan unleashed a flurry of punches, attacking the men in black like a storm. The three men, wielding longswords, joined the attack. Just as Yu Xuan was becoming overwhelmed, two more men in black suddenly emerged from the darkness. Ru Feng was startled, but upon closer inspection, realized they were there to help Yu Xuan, and felt relieved. A further investigation confirmed that they were indeed the ones who had been following him.

The three enemies (Ru Feng had already considered them as enemies) were not weak in martial arts. Their breathing was steady and long, and they were not impatient or agitated. They had the demeanor of a master. Ru Feng secretly clicked his tongue, thinking that this treasure must be very tempting. Otherwise, why would it attract these experts to snatch it?

Looking around, Ru Feng sensed something was wrong. Yu Xuan had no sword in his hand. Although the two men in black were not weak in martial arts, they had to protect Yu Xuan. Moreover, the three enemies were the kind who were willing to die for their lives and their cooperation was also very good. As a result, Yu Xuan gradually made things difficult for us. We had to dodge left and right and were in a very sorry state. Once, Yu Xuan was almost stabbed.

Seeing this, Ru Feng could no longer restrain himself, fearing that Yu Xuan would be hurt. So he quickly flashed out to help one of his comrades avoid an attack, and shouted at the same time, "Here I come!"

Like the wind, sometimes flashing, sometimes leaping, her clothes fluttering in the wind, her figure as elusive as a phantom, her sharp palm strikes simultaneously towards the three of them!

Caught off guard, the three created an opening, allowing Yu Xuan to quickly escape the sword shadows and hide to the side.
