Rêve de Jiangshan

Chapitre 123

Ru Feng was completely confused by what he said, but thinking that it was none of her business, she didn't ask any further questions.

Seeing that Ru Feng had stopped asking questions, Yu Xuan asked his own question: "The headmaster is with your grandfather. Do you see him often?"

Ru Feng's heart skipped a beat, and she said, "Yes, I can see Grandpa when I go to visit him."

Yu Xuan asked tentatively, "Is your relationship with the headmaster very good?" He seemed to find it difficult to speak.

A sweet feeling welled up in Ru Feng's heart, and she couldn't wait to announce her relationship with Mu Wenchen to the world. However, thinking about her current status, Ru Feng's impulse deflated like a balloon, and she could only reply, "Yes, that's good."

Yu Xuan chuckled dryly and said, "Yes, it seems that your relationship with him was already very good back in the academy. It seems that only you can enter the headmaster's room."

Ru Feng looked at Yu Xuan with a puzzled expression and said, "Why are you suddenly asking about this?"

Yu Xuan suddenly looked at Ru Feng very seriously and said, "Ru Feng, do you know the headmaster's true identity?"

Infected by his seriousness, Ru Feng quickly stopped and said, "What is his identity? I've never asked, but it must be quite high." Judging from Mu Wenchen's usual attitude towards Mu Tong and the servants of the Yuchi Mansion, Ru Feng knew that Mu Wenchen must be someone who had long held a high position. But strangely, she had never thought of asking, even now that the two of them were so close.

Mu Wenchen never spoke about it because Rufeng knew his situation and didn't know if he could come back alive. So he deliberately avoided talking about their future, only discussing martial arts, insights from books, or things in life. Most of the time, Rufeng did the talking and Mu Wenchen listened, so Rufeng knew very little about Mu Wenchen.

Hearing Yu Xuan's words, Ru Feng felt a sudden unease: "Why did you ask that?"

Looking at Ru Feng's anxious expression, Yu Xuan felt a sense of despair. Ru Feng... had she already developed deep feelings for the headmaster? The two of them had always been close, and the headmaster's concern for Ru Feng was obvious, but... sigh!

In the end, Yu Xuan could only say, "Anyway, his identity is not simple. It's not good for either of you to be too close to him."

Ru Feng glared at Yu Xuan, her mood suddenly worsening. She turned and walked into the main tent. Yu Xuan saw this and quickly followed. He wanted to shout, but how embarrassing it would be for a dignified third prince to follow the marshal and shout! So he could only slowly walk back to the main tent, nodding and smiling at the soldiers along the way.

Finally, Yu Xuan saw Rong Yiying. However, Yu Xuan felt a little uncomfortable. If he hadn't stopped first, Rong Yiying probably would have pretended not to see him.

Both of them had somewhat complicated expressions. Rong Yiying quickly regained her composure and was about to bow when she said, "This humble general greets Your Highness the Third Prince!"

Yu Xuan quickly stepped forward to help him up, and said with a smile, "It's alright, it's alright. You're Ru Feng's friend, so you're our friend too. Besides, didn't we mess with Ru Feng together before? That time we suspected Ru Feng's identity, it was you who came up with the idea, so there's no need for such a big bow."

Rong Yiying nodded, her expression still cold. Yu Xuan didn't seem to mind and said, "You're a captain now? Heh, not bad."

Rong Yiying didn't say anything, just nodded. His military uniform made him look even more heroic, but his expression was a little too cold.

Yu Xuan decided to use his methods to have a good chat with Rong Yiying, hoping to build a better relationship and hopefully get more information about Ru Feng. So he said, "Back during that sports meet, our two academies were competing together..."

"Your Highness, I have other matters to attend to and must take my leave now." Rong Yiying suddenly interrupted Yu Xuan, then turned and left.

Yu Xuan was taken aback. He looked at the attendant beside him and asked, "Am I particularly annoying today?"

The attendant smiled and said, "Your Highness, you are still as charming and debonair as ever. Perhaps it's because they're all in a bad mood today?"

Yu Xuan could only nod, reluctantly accepting this explanation.

Back in the main tent, Yu Xuan saw Ru Feng engrossed in writing something, so he strolled over and asked, "Do you know who I just ran into?"

Without even raising his head, he said, "What's it to me?"

Yu Xuan was speechless, so he could only wait for Ru Feng's head to fall and said, "I saw Rong Yiying. He looked terrible, and his expression was also bad. He seemed to have lost some weight and looked a bit haggard. He must have been working too hard. But Ru Feng, you don't look haggard at all. On the contrary, you look radiant. And how come your skin is still so smooth after being exposed to the wind and sun?" Yu Xuan leered and wanted to reach out and touch Ru Feng's face.

Ru Feng slapped a book at him and said, "Stop touching me. Tell me, is Xiao Ying's complexion bad?" It seems that the matter is very serious, because Rong Yiying is always a cold person. For him to look unwell or look haggard, something must have happened. Sigh, I've been too busy lately and haven't talked to him in private, so I have no idea about his situation.

Yu Xuan nodded, unconcerned, and instead asked, "Who exactly is the traitor in the army? How's the investigation going? The reason I stayed is because my father is very worried about the traitor in the army and insists that I investigate thoroughly before I can go back."

Ru Feng glanced at Yu Xuan with a mocking look and said, "With you here, we can't investigate any further."

"What do you mean?" Yu Xuan was furious; his pride, still wounded by being ignored, hadn't healed yet.

"I didn't mean anything? I was just saying. Want to fight?" Ru Feng didn't take Yu Xuan's status seriously, and Yu Xuan didn't mind either, which led to Ru Feng's current lack of respect.

"Fine, let's fight! Who's afraid of who!" Yu Xuan narrowed his eyes, looking at Ru Feng's face. He really wanted to punch that fair and tender face and see if he still dared to be arrogant!

Ru Feng narrowed his eyes. It was all this guy's fault. If it weren't for his nonsense, would he be so agitated and restless? Would he be overthinking things?

Mu Wenchen, please don't have some great identity, otherwise... wow! I don't even want to think about it.

Ru Feng forced himself not to think about this problem and focused on the battle at hand.

The two of them stared at each other, their eyes practically crossed.

A quarter of an hour later, chaos erupted inside the spacious tent; stools were overturned, and books flew everywhere. Ru Feng, with one foot on Yu Xuan's back, said contemptuously, "You pampered prince, you've lost, haven't you?"

Yu Xuan's face turned bright red, and he whispered, "Little Ancestor, I lost. By the way, when did your martial arts become so amazing?"

Ru Feng snorted coldly and said, "Do you think I'm like you? I crawled out of a pile of dead bodies, and I even had a master to guide me."

Yu Xuan blurted out, "Who is this expert?"

As if caught in a gust of wind, she suddenly shook her head and said, "Forget it, I don't want to torture myself anymore. Brother Xuan, let's go to Luoyan City to find the headmaster together."

After giving their instructions, the two men returned with several servants.

As soon as Ru Feng handed the horse over to the gatekeeper, the official came to report. He first bowed to Yu Xuan before saying, "Young Master, the imperial physicians sent by the Emperor have arrived, but now that the Master's condition has stabilized, what should we do with these physicians?"

Ru Feng glanced at Yu Xuan and said, "Since they're here, let's invite them to serve as military doctors in the barracks for a while, so their trip won't be in vain. What do you think?"

Yu Xuan nodded and said, "That's right, so they don't come for nothing. I'll tell them about it later."

The official glanced at Yu Xuan in surprise, then quietly withdrew without saying anything.

Ru Feng and Yu Xuan exchanged a glance, then ran towards the courtyard where Mu Wenchen was temporarily staying.

As soon as Ru Feng entered the courtyard, he saw Mu Wenchen.

He was chatting with a woman in white, standing there quietly, and his expression seemed very gentle.
