"Ten."

"We got off at the sixth stop..."

"one."

Yang Nianqing was utterly impressed. Geniuses are different; he remembered things even better than she, the one who set the questions. If she could borrow such a brain, she would definitely excel in the exam.

.

Under the moonlight, he sat quietly, occasionally drinking a little wine, neither speaking much nor touching his chopsticks. The dishes on the table were practically useless, and the only things accompanying him were two empty wine glasses.

Is he waiting for a friend? (A4)

Yang Nianqing also surprisingly had little appetite. Finally, she couldn't help but look around: "Brother Tao, it's so late, Li You must still be looking for us everywhere, right..."

He interrupted, "Don't you like spending time with me?"

Yang Nianqing quickly shook her head.

"Of course not, but..." she hesitated, "it's so late..."

"Afraid of me?"

Huh? Afraid of you?

Yang Nianqing glared at him, remembering his angry and helpless look in the past. Her eyes immediately lit up, and she put on her usual mischievous smile, patting his arm: "Who's afraid of you? I'm just wondering, it's so late at night, and such a handsome guy like you still dares to sit in front of me. Aren't you afraid I'll drool over your good looks?"

After saying that, she was already prepared to enjoy the handsome guy blushing; this handsome guy was very shy.

Who knew—

He merely glanced at her, casually took her hand and examined it, and said without changing his expression, "In that case, marry me."

Yang Nianqing was dumbfounded.

This... this really came out of Nangong Xue's mouth? She would never have believed it, not even if you beat her to death. When did he become so open-minded? Even if he was resurrected, he shouldn't be this different from before!

A hint of a smile flickered in his phoenix eyes.

He released her hand and said calmly, "I'm afraid you can't bear to part with Li You."

Yang Nianqing stared at him, completely stunned.

A handsome face, a straight nose, and striking eyebrows and eyes...

Something's not right... What's wrong? Suddenly, her expression changed drastically. She stood up abruptly, took two steps back, and pointed at him in horror: "You... you're not Brother Tao!"

He wasn't surprised: "Why not?"

Before he could answer, a magnetic voice rang out: "Of course he is."

Without a sound, two figures, one black and one white, descended from the sky. The black figure was swift, and the white figure was elegant. Although it seemed that one was fast and the other was slow, they still landed on the ground in the middle of the courtyard at the same time.

Yang Nianqing was overjoyed: "You've come!"

He Bi remained expressionless, revealing no emotion. Li You simply stared intently at the person drinking, his eyes, which had been as bright as stars, appearing unusually dim in the hazy moonlight.

Finally, he looked up at the two of them and said calmly, "You've arrived."

He Bi said, "Yes."

After finishing his drink, he stood up and said, "You all know."

Li You remained silent for a moment, then looked at Yang Nianqing, a hint of nervousness appearing in his eyes: "I only knew about your disguise skills, but I forgot that if you revealed your true face, you wouldn't need to look for her; she would go with you anyway."

He raised an eyebrow slightly: "As the saying goes, sometimes you can be confused."

silence.

Li You looked at him: "You won't take her..."

He didn't continue. (57)

He stared at Li You for a long while, then suddenly chuckled, a hint of mockery on his handsome face: "Since he protected her so much when he was alive, how could I let him worry again now?"

Li You nodded: "Thank you."

Although somewhat surprised, Yang Nianqing understood their meaning. It seemed that Li You and the others already knew that this Nangong Xue was fake, and were afraid that he would use her as a hostage.

.

He looked at the two men and said, "I killed them, and it was all my idea."

Li You said sadly, "But you really shouldn't have dragged Brother Nangong into this."

He Bi also looked at him coldly.

From the very first time Yang Nianqing met "Nangong Xue", she felt something was strange. Not only had this person's temperament changed, but his speech had also become much more unrestrained. Yet, he looked so much like her and also had the ability to remember everything he saw... If there really was such a person in the world, then he must undoubtedly be her younger brother, another prodigy of the Tao family!

It wasn't that she hadn't thought of it earlier, but that Judge Cao had once said that when the bodies were counted back then, only one was missing. How could both children have escaped?

She couldn't help but ask, "You...you're really his brother?"

Li You suddenly shook his head: "You still can't figure out who he is?"

who is he?

Yang Nianqing was taken aback. (69)

“I can’t show the same face to people as him,” he said, glancing at Yang Nianqing and then at Li You and He Bi. “It’s not easy for someone to live under the illusion of being disguised for more than ten years.”

The soft moonlight shone on him, leaving a solitary figure on the ground, yet the feeling was not unfamiliar, but incredibly familiar, as if it were a very good old friend.

Finally, a name gradually surfaced in my mind... it was practically bursting forth!

Yang Nianqing stared at him blankly.

Such exquisite disguise skills—it was him all along!

"You, you're Brother Qiu!"

.

A hint of admiration appeared in his phoenix eyes.

"My surname is not Qiu."

Li You looked at him and slowly said, "Since Tao Qian of the Jin Dynasty, for hundreds of years, the chrysanthemum's confidant has always been surnamed Tao, so Mr. Chrysanthemum should naturally also be surnamed Tao."

“That’s right,” he said, turning to the side and standing with his hands behind his back. “Chrysanthemums bloom in autumn, I’m just using autumn as my surname.”

Li You smiled and said, "If I hadn't heard a tune, I probably wouldn't have guessed it was you."

He raised an eyebrow.

Yang Nianqing murmured, "What song is that?"

Li You smiled and said, "Do you remember the song 'Reed Catkins' that I heard on the street today?"

She nodded.

Why not read it aloud and listen to it?

"The Reeds and Rushes" comes from the Book of Songs, which Yang Nianqing still remembered. After thinking for a moment, she recited: "The reeds and rushes are green, the white dew is like frost, what is called..."

She paused abruptly, staring intently at the person, before finally murmuring, "White dew turns to frost... White dew... So that's how it is..."

Finally, she fell silent.

Li You sighed, "Back then, Tao Clan had a pair of very famous twin child prodigies. They could memorize anything they read at the age of three. People in the martial arts world gave them the nickname 'Snow, Jade, Frost, and Ice.' The older brother was named Tao Xue, and the younger brother was Tao Shuang."

No wonder they look so different, yet they still seem so similar every time I see them. No wonder I feel so familiar when I see him. It turns out he is Nangong Xue's biological younger brother!

One is like jade, the other like ice.

He's gone now, how could he possibly come back to life...?

.

Li You said softly, "It's a pity that the two child prodigies encountered the Tao Family Incident not long after they became famous."

Silence.

He finally nodded and said proudly, "That's right, I am Tao Shuang."

"Back then, my father escaped through the southeast corner gate with my eldest brother, but my mother carried me and headed north. Unexpectedly, we fell into their ambush. My mother was seriously injured and could not hold on. At that time, I saw Liu Ru."

If he weren't a child prodigy, how could a child under four years old remember so many things! From that time on, the name of his enemy was deeply imprinted in his mind.

He said coldly, "Liu Ru was feeling guilty and left as soon as he saw us, but I still remember it clearly. I even heard him mention Tang Jingfeng! At that time, my mother just held me tightly and waited to die. I didn't expect my master to happen to pass by."

Li You smiled and said, "Your master must be the venerable One-Finger Healer."

After a long silence, he nodded.

The Immortal Physician is eccentric by nature and always acts as he pleases. Moreover, this matter involves the imperial court. If it were anyone else, even if Madam Tao knelt down and begged him, he might not be willing to save her.

But if this child is a prodigy, then it's a different story.

In the martial arts world, getting a good disciple is ten times more exciting than finding a treasure. The Immortal Physician had never had a successor in his life, so he only asked, "Is this child the prodigy of the Tao family?" before immediately killing the guard and taking him away.

.

Yang Nianqing suddenly realized: "Since you two both escaped, why did Judge Cao find that only one body was missing when he counted the corpses?"

There was no response.

for a long time.

Li You frowned: "I'm afraid that Lord Tang was also focused on saving people at the time. After letting Brother Nangong go, he secretly found a substitute. And the one that Judge Cao later discovered was missing should be Brother Qiu. I think only Lord Tang, who identified the body, knows all this."

By sheer coincidence, Magistrate Cao was unaware that Tang Jingfeng had already prepared a double. Therefore, upon discovering one body was missing, he hastily found a substitute as well. To prevent the matter from being exposed, he had no choice but to ask Tang Jingfeng to come forward and identify the body as a witness. The incident at Taomen was originally caused by Tang Jingfeng and Liu Ru's betrayal. Since Tang Jingfeng identified the body, the court naturally wouldn't suspect anything. Tang Jingfeng had clearly discovered this secret while identifying the body but never revealed it, so even Magistrate Cao was unaware, and both children escaped unscathed.
