Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

The next morning.

As soon as the sky was getting light, the whole Jiangnan city began to become lively.

"Clap clap clap..."

Bursts of firecrackers were heard all around Jiangnan Academy, making it extremely lively. Countless talented and learned people from the Jiangnan area also rushed here.

After daybreak, the entire Jiangnan Academy was surrounded by people.

Many stalls have been put in place, filling up both sides of the street leading to the academy. For a time, it can be said that this street was crowded with people coming and going.

Gu Chan came in a carriage, but was stuck halfway on the road. The carriage moved forward little by little following the flow of people.

"Damn it! Traffic jams are fine in modern times, but I didn't expect there would be traffic jams in ancient times. This is really ridiculous."

Sitting in the carriage, Gu Chan looked at the carriage that was moving slower than a snail and complained unhappily.

Yuan Jie, who was driving the carriage outside, said, "Master, why don't you go down and walk a few steps! Walking is faster than riding in a carriage now. I will find a place to stop the carriage and then come to Jiangnan Academy to find you."

"Okay, then hurry up!" Gu Chan nodded in response.

Then she got off the carriage and followed the crowd towards the gate of Jiangnan Academy.

Due to her current different status, all the pedestrians passing by on the street greeted her with a smile. Everyone gave way to her and did not squeeze with her. Before long, she arrived smoothly at the gate of Jiangnan Academy.

However, the gate of the academy was not open yet, and it was not the auspicious time to open the gate.

Gu Chan could only helplessly stand at the door and wait quietly with everyone else.

But just when Gu Chan and others were getting impatient, a woman in red slowly walked over from the crowd.

Her appearance immediately caused a commotion among the crowd, and everyone made way for her to come in. No one dared to block her.

Gu Chan looked back and was stunned for a moment, because the person who came was none other than... Yan Li...

Yan Li today is completely different from what she was back then. If she was a young girl back then, she is now more like a mature young woman, possessing a different kind of maturity and charm.

Yan Li came to the gate and walked straight towards Gu Chan who was standing there.

Gu Chan's face darkened, and she clearly felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what was wrong for a while.

After Yan Li walked in front of Gu Chan, she first glared at Gu Chan fiercely, and then, contrary to everyone's expectations, she bowed to Gu Chan very politely and said, "My Lord, long time no see, I hope you are well."

"Ms. Yan, you have really changed a lot! I'm quite curious, where have you been during this period of time?" Gu Chan said with her arms crossed over her chest.

"I went to Kyoto and was fortunately appreciated by the Crown Prince. Now I'm his concubine. This time, in addition to returning home, I also came to participate in the Jiangnan Poetry Festival." Yan Li said with a sneer.

Gu Chan's eyes widened immediately, she couldn't believe her ears.

She never dreamed that after Yan Li went to Kyoto, she would become the woman of the current prince.

Dry!

She and Yan Li had a deep feud before!

Now that this woman has gone to Kyoto and made some name for herself, and is back, aren't you going to beat her to death?

It just so happens that Yan Xishan is the leader of the Second Prince's gang in the Jiangnan area, and is now tied to her. If Yan Li does something weird, not only will Yan Xishan be in trouble, but she will also be in trouble!

Seeing that Gu Chan didn't say anything, Yan Li laughed again and said, "Lord, what's wrong with you? Are you so afraid of me?"

"Tsk! You really like to joke around! Why should I be afraid of you?" Gu Chan said disdainfully.

"If you're not afraid, why do you stare at me so coldly?" Yan Li said sarcastically.

Gu Chan pretended to be indifferent and said, "I just think you have changed a lot. It is true that after experiencing many men, a woman will always grow up!"

"Hmph! Lord, there is no need to mock me in a roundabout way. The Second Prince looked down on me before, and that was his loss. But now that the Crown Prince likes me, it only means that I have the capital for him to like me, and he has a good eye. Anyway, this time when I come back, I will definitely show my talent at the poetry meeting. I also hope that Lord, you will work hard and don't let everyone down." Yan Li said proudly.

Gu Chan rolled her eyes at her and said with a wicked smile, "If you win a good rank this time, will the prince favor you? If so, don't worry, I will show mercy and won't stop you from climbing onto his bed!"

"Hahaha……"

As soon as Gu Chan said this, bursts of laughter broke out all around.

Yan Li's face turned ashen, and she gnashed her teeth in hatred, wishing she could tear Gu Chan into pieces.

But after going through so much in Kyoto, she was no longer as impulsive as before. She suppressed her anger and said coldly, "Just wait! I'll see how long you can keep laughing."

"What? The prince is here? He's going to come and deal with me personally?" Gu Chan asked with a smile.

"I have no comment on this. You just need to understand that arrogance comes at a price and your good days will soon be over." Yan Li made a harsh statement.

After saying that, she turned around with a stiff face and walked aside, not wanting to waste any more time talking to Gu Chan.

Gu Chan was too lazy to pay attention to her. She just looked at the closed door of Jiangnan Academy with an extremely gloomy face.

There is no doubt that Yan Li's sudden appearance and the words she said to her were definitely not accidental. This might be the prince's advance warning to her. The purpose was to tell her to keep a low profile and not to go against him, otherwise she would inevitably be greeted with a violent revenge.

Just as Gu Chan was thinking about this, Yuan Jie came over breathlessly, pushing through the crowd.

Yuan Jie came to Gu Chan and stopped, whispering, "Master, on my way here, I found that there are many masters with strong spiritual energy in the crowd. They don't seem to be here to participate in the poetry meeting."

"Nonsense, Yan Li went to Kyoto and became the prince's concubine. This group of masters must have been brought back by her. They are probably the strong men under the prince." Gu Chan said unhappily.

Yuan Jie looked up and noticed Yan Li standing over there.

Seeing the eldest daughter of the Yan family become so mature and charming, she was dumbfounded and said, "No way! She has only been in Kyoto for two or three months! How come she is suddenly doing so well and has come back?"

"It's not that she's doing well, it's that she is of great use to the prince. As for the understanding of the Jiangnan area, I estimate that apart from the people of the Second Prince's party, it is only the eldest lady of the Yan family. Now that she is helping the prince, our situation can be said to be full of dangers." Gu Chan said with a serious face.

Yuan Jie nodded without comment, and began to become extremely worried.
