Rêve de Jiangshan

Chapitre 75

Ru Feng hurriedly chuckled, "How could I forget you? You are my only family in Xiangzhou City."

Zuiyue chuckled, her smile as beautiful as a flower, which momentarily stunned Hanshan.

The three people who had been focused on discussing the menu suddenly hummed in unison. Ru Feng, not understanding why, glanced at them and then turned back to say, "By the way, did you see Zui Zhu and Nan Shan when you went back this time?"

Zuiyue nodded. "I saw it. Zuizhu's kung fu has improved a lot. He already has the skill level of my senior brother when he was fifteen. But he also has a bad temper. He always takes his anger out on Nanshan, who doesn't know kung fu. And Nanshan is almost done learning. He is most interested in divination and breaking formations by observing celestial phenomena. Master said that he should go down the mountain to gain experience."

Ru Feng smiled with relief: "Hehe, that's good." She didn't mention a word about Zui Zhu bullying Nan Shan, then her eyes flickered to Han Shan, "How about your martial arts? Has it improved?"

Han Shan blushed immediately and scratched his head: "I've been too busy lately, too busy...hehe."

Ru Feng glared at him: "What's the point of making so much money? You should learn how to protect yourself so you don't end up with money you can't spend and it just benefits me and Zui Yue. Alright, I'm not going back tonight. I'll stay and spar with you."

Zuiyue and Hanshan nodded happily.

Based on this, Ru Feng learned that Han Shan had recently ventured into other businesses, and that Zui Yue's reputation as a doctor had gradually grown, with many wealthy families' female relatives willing to have her treat them.

In a corner nearby, the other three were also whispering among themselves.

Yu Xuan's tone was quite unpleasant: "Hmph, that kid Ru Feng, aren't we his family? We've been so good to him!"

Yun Tianze's tone was also sour: "Those are his junior brothers and sisters, they've known each other for over ten years, how can we compare to them?"

Yu Jue smiled wryly and said, "Let's not talk about that for now. Have you noticed that when Ru Feng is with Zui Yue and Han Shan, he's like a mother hen, worrying about everything and showing them so much concern?"

Yu Xuan and Yun Tianze nodded in agreement, glancing sourly at Ru Feng's retreating figure.

After finishing his business, Ru Feng turned around and said loudly, "Have you ordered yet? I'm starving!"

"I hope you starve to death!" Yu Xuan threw a hard menu at him, his inner strength subtly conveying his power.

Ru Feng deftly pinched the menu between her index and middle fingers, and said with a grin, "Now that you've ordered, it's my turn." Then she proceeded to list a string of dishes from the menu.

Hanshan smiled and made a note of it before leaving with Zuiyue.

After they closed the door, Yu Jue said, "Ru Feng's martial arts have improved again."

Ru Feng chuckled, "It's alright, it's alright, a little better than someone else." Everyone knows who that "someone else" is.

Yu Xuan glared angrily at Ru Feng. He remembered that Ru Feng had saved him a few nights ago, so he couldn't refute it.

Yun Tianze tapped the table lightly with one hand and said softly, "Ru Feng is in the prime of his youth, only seventeen years old, and possesses superb martial arts skills. Although he is not particularly strong, he is very handsome, good-looking as a man and as a woman. Moreover, he is very intelligent, has excellent academic performance, is kind and cheerful, and comes from a good family. He is truly a rare talent and a good choice for a husband."

Ru Feng nodded hurriedly, "That's right, that's right, I just think I'm excellent!" Although she didn't understand why Yun Tianze would suddenly say this, he was praising her, and what he said was absolutely right! It was so true!

Yu Xuan made a vomiting face, which he learned from Ru Feng, and mocked, "Shameless! You thick-skinned bastard!"

Ru Feng felt wronged: "But Tian Ze is right, you're just petty and can't stand seeing others better than you!"

Yu Xuan retorted, "Hmph, you're lazy and gluttonous. You always doze off in class, bully us with your little bit of cleverness, deceive the academy, and love to lie. Every time you ask for leave, it's just to eat, but you never bring anything back for us. You can't share the fun. Also, when you need something from us, you're all sweet talk, saying all sorts of shameless nice things, but when you don't need anything, you just leave us hanging. You won't even go to eat, and we have to buy it for you. And another thing, you always bully me in the dorm because you're so good at martial arts, threatening me with violence to buy you food!" She rattled off the whole thing without pausing, startling Han Shan, who was bringing in the dishes. Did her senior brother really have so many bad habits?

Ru Feng blushed and was about to go over and teach Yu Xuan a lesson when she saw Han Shan's dumbfounded expression. She just laughed and said, "Han Shan, bring the dishes up. Just pretend he was chanting a sutra."

Han Shan responded, gave Yu Xuan a subtle glare, and then quickly left after bringing the dishes up.

The door closed, and Yu Xuan said again, "You still have two faces, one in front of others and one behind their backs!"

When the situation became extremely tense, they couldn't find any rebuttal, so they could only squeeze out a few words: "Bullying the weak! Shameless!"

Yu Jue laughed, looking at Yu Xuan and Ru Feng's cross-eyed expressions, and said, "Alright, alright, it's time to eat."

Ru Feng approached Yu Jue with a wronged expression: "Brother Jue, do you think I have that many flaws?"

"No, no, Ru Feng, these are just minor flaws, they can be ignored, it's okay, you're actually very excellent," Yu Jue quickly reassured him.

Ru Feng then proudly gestured with his chin towards Yu Xuanyang.

At this moment, Yun Tianze asked, "Ru Feng, what kind of person do you want to be with in the future?"

Ru Feng was stunned. She looked at Yun Tianze and saw that he was looking at her very seriously, so she quickly lowered her head and said, "Can I not marry anyone?" Her tone was pitiful.

Yu Jue glanced at Ru Feng's lowered head and said calmly, "It's too early to talk about these things now. Come on, let's start eating, lest the food get cold."

Yun Tianze glanced at Yu Jue, who was trying to smooth things over, his eyes unfathomable, but he didn't bring up that topic again, only saying, "Ru Feng!"

Ru Feng raised an eyebrow and immediately understood what he meant.

So they took out his white jade bowl and carefully served him the soup.

Yu Xuan then said, "Ru Feng, my brother and I have known you for so long, and you've never been this attentive to us. It's really unfair!"

Ru Feng glared at him: "Tianze isn't in good health, and he even blocked a ball for me. I'm happy to serve him!"

Looking at the golden chicken soup in the bowl, Yun Tianze murmured, "These days won't last long." There was a hint of disappointment in his voice.

Yujue and Yuxuan exchanged a glance without saying a word.

Ru Feng then reached for the fragrant chicken pieces with his chopsticks and said, "Let's eat!"

So all four pairs of chopsticks started eating together.

A few days later, the crown prince arrived.

Fengxian Academy immediately began to bustle about in a tense but orderly manner. Ru Feng was not as nervous and uneasy as they were. She was just very curious about the Crown Prince, so she was quite looking forward to it. Moreover, she would be representing the Crown Prince in the "book" competition. Ru Feng was quite confident about this. Recently, she had been studying a lot of books in order to write a novel, and she could even compose one herself.

However, Ru Feng frowned, feeling that the two brothers, Yu Jue and Yu Xuan, had been acting strangely lately. They were always mysteriously huddled together talking about something, and their complexions weren't good either.

Yun Tianze has also been very quiet lately. Ru Feng noticed that he's not eating much anymore and seems to have lost weight.
