noon.
Everyone gathered at the gate of the Imperial College.
Hong Qinghe, Li Tingtao and Bai Muyan quickly became familiar with each other, and soon An Yuzhi and An Shaoning also arrived.
"Where do you want to go eat?" Lou Xiaoxiao asked everyone with a smile.
Lou Qianxue looked at her with complicated eyes, then looked at An Shaoning.
They laughed, one of them smiled heartily, the other smiled gently, and there was not a trace of gloom on their faces.
But she clearly discovered that there was indeed something wrong with An Shaoning's body...
"Qianxue, why are you daydreaming? Where do you want to go?"
"Hmm?" Lou Qianxue came back to her senses: "Sorry, I was distracted just now. What did you say?"
"Nothing, just everyone discussing where to eat. Do you have any opinions?"
"Well, it's rare for us to get together, so if we are going to go, let's go to a good place."
"Good place..." An Shaoning looked at An Yuzhi: "Cousin, do you have any recommendations?"
"How about Baicao Garden?" An Yuzhi pondered for a moment and said, "Baicao Garden is the best place to eat, but it's hard to get a table there. I wonder if there's a seat today. Should we go and try our luck?"
"Hundred Herb Garden?" The expressions of Li Tingtao, Bai Muyan and An Shaoning on the side suddenly became strange.
"What's wrong? You all have that expression?"
"Well, two years ago, we first met Miss Qianxue in Liuyun County's Baicao Garden."
"What a coincidence? Let's go there today."
An Yuzhi led everyone towards Baicao Garden.
Soon, they arrived at the place.
Baicao Garden is the most luxurious place under the Sihai Chamber of Commerce. All clan leaders and dignitaries in Amaterasu are proud to be able to enter Baicao Garden.
only…
"There is only one empty courtyard in the garden, and it has been booked by that guest. Please come earlier next time." The waitress politely rejected them.
Lou Xiaoxiao was slightly disappointed upon hearing this and looked at the guest who had booked the last courtyard.
The man had an ugly face, a short and stocky build, but was dressed in gorgeous clothes, with glittering gold and jade ornaments on his neck and fingers. He could almost be described as dazzled by jewels.
Noticing their gazes, the man looked smug, glanced at them, and then walked over arrogantly: "Looking at your clothes, you should be students of the academy, right? Why? Did you come to Baicao Garden to broaden your horizons?"
He chuckled twice, then pointed at Lou Qianxue and Lou Xiaoxiao and said, "Let these two pretty girls play with me for a while, and I can take you in."
"!!!"
There was a sound of gasps all around.
The people who came with Lou Xiaoxiao and Lou Qianxue couldn't help but look at the fat man with pity.
An Yuzhi frowned slightly and was about to step forward...
clang!
"You fat bastard! Say it again if you have the guts!" Lou Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows and drew out the ice sword on the spot.
Lou Qianxue also looked at him with cold eyes: "Get lost!"
"You! You guys! You think you're so great about studying in the Imperial City? How dare you bully me because I'm from another place? Let me tell you, even though I just arrived in the Imperial City, I have money! I also have connections! If you dare to touch me, I will..."
Snapped!
A wooden palm slapped him hard in the face.
"Ah—" the fat man screamed and stopped talking.
Everyone was slightly stunned and looked at An Shaoning along the wooden palm.
At this moment, An Shaoning stopped smiling, his eyes darkened: "Not many people dare to say that they have someone in the Imperial City in front of our An family!"
He snorted coldly: "I'll try to move you and see what you can do!"
However…
"Ah - someone is being beaten! Someone is being killed! You people from Baicao Garden, what are you still doing standing there? I am your guest! Someone is beating up your guests here, and you don't care?" The fat man, covered in jewels and precious stones, howled like a tyrant and arrogantly questioned and ordered Baicao Garden about the hospitality.
