Xie Qianqian and Gu Lang chose to meet in an extremely secluded ancient temple, which seemed like they were hiding in seclusion in the city.

The bell of the ancient temple rang three times, distant and deep.

The scent of incense lingering in the air did not calm the lovesick couple.

Xie Yunji entered the mountain gate of the ancient temple, climbed the stairs, walked around the ancient trees and entered the hidden side door, where he saw a row of quiet and elegant dormitories.

Amid the swirling fireworks, Song Nihuan stood outside the dormitory, looking a little flustered and at a loss as to what to do.

Xie Yunji's heart calmed down. He nodded slightly and walked towards her.

When I got closer, I heard the unique soft whimpering sound of a woman coming from the dormitory, and some embarrassing rustling sounds.

This did not surprise him.

However, Song Nihuan was extremely surprised to see him. Her eyes widened. She tried to knock on the door but stopped, looking very funny, like a thief caught red-handed.

Xie Yunji couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips, then he put his arm around her shoulders and pulled her aside.

Although Song Nihuan had been deeply involved in pleasure, she had never experienced that. She vaguely knew what Xie Qianniang and Gu Lang were doing, and she was anxious and embarrassed. She didn't know whether she should knock on the door to stop them or just pretend she didn't hear anything. When she was hesitating, she bumped into Xie Yunji again...

"Young Master..." she called helplessly, tugged at his sleeve, and pointed in the direction he came from, meaning that she wanted to leave.

Xie Yunji smiled and lowered his eyes, his gaze fell on her blushing cheeks, and lowered his voice to her ear and said: "If we leave now, it will be troublesome if others come and catch them meeting secretly."

His calm and composed tone sounded particularly convincing at this moment.

Song Nihuan felt much more at ease. She remained silent but nodded heavily.

That Gu Lang was indeed a warrior. Xie Qianniang's voice sounded like crying, as if she was in pain and the pain was relieved.

Temples are originally quiet places, with no other noise except the morning bells and evening drums. At this moment, the voices of the two people in the room are particularly obvious, and the sound is so embarrassing that it makes people feel awkward.

Song Nihuan raised her eyes to look at Xie Yunji. As he was in mourning period, he was only wearing ivory linen, which contrasted well with this thousand-year-old temple. Even when he heard the soft music, he still looked calm and dignified.

The whole person is as noble as the bright moon in the sky and cannot be offended.

Song Nihuan felt that letting Xie Yunji hear such voices was a blasphemy to him. She was so angry that she also annoyed Xie Qianqian.

Unexpectedly, the next moment, he stretched out his hands and gently covered her ears, blocking out the debauched sounds. The clarity and tenderness in his eyes were like a clear spring, clearing away the restlessness that should not exist in this world.

Song Nihuan was shocked and moved. When she was in the brothel, the brothel owner was afraid that she knew too little and wanted her to learn all kinds of skills to use in matters between men and women. However, Xie Yunji isolated her from the sounds of debauchery.

After a while, the noise in the room subsided.

Xie Yunji took her hand and was about to leave. Song Nihuan pointed at the door, but Xie Yunji shook his head at her.

There is no need to wait for Xie Qianqian to come out, she will go back home by herself.

Song Nihuan understood what he meant and obediently followed him towards the mountain gate.

Xie Yunji glanced at her sideways. Her expression was always so lively, and her blushing face and tearful look were very touching.

He originally thought that he was a person without emotions, and even when he heard that sound just now, he only felt annoyed. But she always made him unable to control his emotions, and he couldn't help but want to tease her and kiss her.

It turns out that he is just an ordinary person.

"Is this what you came out with her for?" he asked.

"I... Sir, I'm sorry." Song Nihuan bit her lip, knowing that she was wrong and hoping that Xie Qianqian would not do anything out of line.

In fact, Xie Yunji didn't really care about Xie Qianqian, but he had to put on a show. He said, "No rules, no order. Xie Qianqian is a member of the Xie family after all. I won't expose this matter, but I won't let her do it a second time."

Song Nihuan nodded. She agreed to Xie Qianqian's request to ask her to come out together. She had selfish motives in mind. It would be best if this matter could be resolved.

"Why is the young master here?" she asked. She had clearly made it clear that it was a gathering for girls.

Xie Yunji was stunned for a moment, then calmly said: "I remembered what happened at the Shangsi Banquet last time, and I was worried about you."

Song Nihuan's face turned slightly red, and she lowered her head and nodded.

"Why do you call me young master again?" he asked.

Looking at her drooping eyebrows and distant and indifferent expression, he couldn't help but wonder, would she make such a heart-stirring sound for him in the future?

If she didn't know how, he would never let her enjoy herself under another man!

Song Nihuan didn't know what he was thinking, so she said frankly, "You can call me Young Master by my nickname in the mansion, but outside, you have made great achievements. If I still call you that, it would be inappropriate."

"What's wrong?" he asked.

"Of course, of course it's inappropriate. How can I call Brother Zi Che in such a familiar way in front of others..." she whispered.

"Then why don't you just call me Xie Hanlin like everyone else? Young Lord Xie?" he joked half-jokingly.

Who knew she actually took it seriously and said earnestly, "Thank you, Hanlin."

He held his forehead and smiled bitterly, "You are still going to piss me off to death."

At night, Xie Qianqian had already returned to the yard. When she was about to go to bed after taking a bath, she heard a commotion outside, mixed with her mother's frightened words.

"It's Sister Linglong who serves the eldest master. She's here." said the maid.

"Why is she here so late?" Xie Qianqian was surprised, but felt a little uneasy in her heart, so she quickly put on some clothes and went out.

What caught Xie Qianqian's eyes was the cold face of the maid Linglong. She turned around to leave, but was grabbed by the hem of her skirt by her mother, Madam Xie Si.

Madam Xie said angrily: "Young lady, please explain clearly. What do you mean Qi Guan'er doesn't have to go tomorrow? The eldest master has given us so many homework assignments, and we Qi Guan'er have finished them all..."

Although Qi Guan'er was not a good student, he subconsciously began to pay attention to his schoolwork after coming back from Xie Yunji's lecture. He kept saying that the eldest master assigned too much homework and was too strict with his brothers, but he still completed the homework assigned by the young master without any perfunctoriness.

In academic research, especially towards the Xie brothers, Xie Yunji was so strict and serious that his younger brothers could only sigh.

However, all the young men of the Xie family treated this strictness seriously, knowing that it was a great blessing to receive guidance from the youngest number one scholar of the dynasty. Xie Yunji often walked in front of the emperor and was much more sensitive to the latest systems and court trends than others.

What's more, the Hanlin Academy members all hold important positions as examiners for the imperial examinations and select outstanding talents.

Mrs. Xie had long hoped that her son would become a successful person. She had seen her son's academic performance improve day by day, so why did he suddenly stop asking her to attend classes at the clan school? !

"Miss Linglong, what did Qi Guaner do wrong?" The fourth lady's eyes were filled with hope. She mustered up the courage to take out some silver from her sleeve and stuffed it into Linglong's hand. "If Qi Guaner did something wrong, I will personally go and apologize to the eldest master tomorrow."

Linglong didn't even stretch out her hand, but took a step back to prevent the Fourth Madam from touching her. Naturally, she had no place to give the silver, so she could only take it back awkwardly, but she couldn't force it into her pocket either.

"The master said that Master Qi is naturally intelligent and doesn't need to learn anything more." Linglong was frugal with words, bowed politely and retreated, "It's getting late, Madam, please go to bed early."

The Fourth Madam knew that Linglong and Molan were both maids trained by Xie Yunji, and they had always been very powerful. Although they were polite now, their attitude was firm, and it seemed that there was no room for maneuver.

The college entrance examination was approaching, and the Fourth Lady originally thought that her son was going there to gain experience, but seeing her son's high interest in learning in the past few days, how could she be willing to give up? Just as she was about to try again, Xie Qianqian, who came over at some point, grabbed her arm.

The fourth lady turned her head and saw that her daughter's face was particularly pale under the bleak moonlight. She shook her head at her with tears in her eyes.

The fourth lady understood most of it at once.
