Chapter 80: Teachings
Xu Jinxin made up her mind.
On the other side.
Gan Luo heard that Xu Jinxin had gone to the Grand Tutor's residence.
"She went to the Grand Tutor's residence. What happened there?"
"I heard that the Grand Tutor has kicked Xu Jinxin out."
When Green Bamboo heard that the Grand Tutor had kicked Xu Jinxin out, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"These people are just too pitiful. Does Your Highness feel relieved?"
"I don't care at all. To me, they are nothing but ants."
Wouldn't it be too naive to care about these people?
Listening to what Gan Luo said, Green Bamboo felt that Gan Luo was too magnanimous.
"I will heed Your Highness's instructions. Green Bamboo understands."
Gan Luo did not understand what Green Bamboo was saying.
"I didn't say anything about why you suddenly knelt down on the ground."
Green Bamboo didn't say anything, but Jade Bamboo understood.
This is perhaps the magnanimity of someone in royalty.
Gan Luo then turned his gaze to Lin Ruohua.
In fact, Gan Luo wanted to arrange a meeting between Lin Ruohua and the leader of the Shadow Hall.
"Why is Your Highness looking at me? Is there something on my face?"
"It's not about what's on your face, it's just that I want to tell you something."
Lin Ruohua was curious, wondering what Gan Luo was going to say.
Shangguan Mufeng happened to arrive there and greeted Gan Luo.
Gan Luo remained silent, but glanced at Shangguan Mufeng.
Gan Luo asked Shangguan Mufeng how he had been doing during this time.
Shangguan Mufeng replied with a series of words.
"Your Highness, the people in the Princess's residence have been very kind to me during this time."
Gan Luo noticed that Shangguan Mufeng had reached a certain age.
Thinking that Shangguan Mufeng should be getting married and having children by now.
He then dispatched the people around him.
Only Gan Luo and Shangguan Mufeng remained.
"I wonder why Your Highness has left me here at this time."
Gan Luo looked at Shangguan Mufeng.
"I left you here because there is something I want to tell you."
Shangguan Mufeng didn't understand, and didn't know what Gan Luo was planning to say.
"You should be getting married and having children by now. Is there any girl you like? If so, I will arrange it for you."
"Does Your Highness mean you want to hurry down and leave?"
Gan Luo shook his head, but that wasn't what he meant.
"I just feel that you've been staying in the princess's residence for quite some time now. If you continue to stay there, wouldn't you be wasting your time?"
Shangguan Mufeng only told Gan Luo that he had learned a lot of knowledge during his time at the princess's residence.
He then told Gan Luo.
His combat skills have also improved to some extent.
Gan Luo was somewhat puzzled, wondering who had taught Shangguan Mufeng.
After several inquiries, Gan Luo finally learned that it was Yuan Zheng who had taught him.
Gan Luo didn't know why Yuan Zheng wanted to teach Shangguan Mufeng martial arts.
Then he asked Shangguan Mufeng if he was unwilling to leave the princess's residence.
"Your Highness is right, I am indeed unwilling to leave."
However, Shangguan Mufeng's presence at the princess's residence was of no use.
"Would Young Master Shangguan be willing to serve as an official in the imperial court?"
Gan Luo decided to appoint Shangguan Mufeng as governor and set a date to go to Gan Yanling to discuss the matter.
But to my surprise, I was rejected outright.
Gan Luo suddenly realized what was happening and came over to ask Shangguan Mufeng.
"Do you now wish to remain by my side?"
"Your Highness guessed correctly; she does indeed want to stay by your side and do things for you."
Gan Luo was speechless, unsure of what to do.
In that instant, Gan Luo felt a slight sense of guilt.
"The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review is short-handed. Would you be willing to go there?"
"I don't want to."
Gan Luo had a terrible headache and told Shangguan Mufeng to go down first.
A light drizzle began to fall from the sky, and Gan Luo sat there alone.
Lin Fengmian stood outside the whole time.
Seeing that it was drizzling, Gan Luo still hadn't come out.
Lin Fengmian hurriedly went inside, only to find Gan Luo standing in the rain.
Lin Fengmian immediately went to Gan Luo's side and shielded him from the rain.
"Are you perhaps worried about me getting wet in the rain, you little guard?"
Lin Fengmian didn't speak, but his eyes were filled with heartache.
Lin Fengmian couldn't understand why Gan Luo was getting soaked in the rain here.
"If Your Highness encounters any troubles, please feel free to speak frankly. I will do my best to help you as long as it is within my power."
Gan Luo had no idea how to tell Lin Fengmian.
"I just feel that I shouldn't have mentioned Shangguan Mufeng..."
"Actually, I think it's Young Master Shangguan's idea to stay in the Princess's residence."
Lin Fengmian has always been expressionless, rarely showing any other emotions, but now he is filled with longing for Gan Luo.
"Perhaps this young master Shangguan, like me, admires Her Highness the princess, which is why he wants to stay by her side."
After all, looking around...
Which woman could achieve what Gan Luo did?
Not only was he incredibly wealthy, but his strength was also beyond the reach of most men.
Gan Luo felt a surge of displeasure upon hearing Lin Fengmian's expression of admiration.
Did Lin Fengmian only feel admiration for her?
"I wish to stand here in the rain alone. Please, Guard Lin, leave first."
Gan Luo was very polite and kept a certain distance from Lin Fengmian.
Lin Fengmian was completely baffled at that moment, not knowing Gan Luo's intentions.
"I don't want to say this a second time."
Gan Luo's tone was extremely cold, as if he were surrounded by ice.
Ultimately, having no other choice, Lin Fengmian had to leave, but he kept staring at Gan Luo from the roof beam.
Gan Luo was constantly questioning his own heart.
Has she fallen for Lin Fengmian now?
How could Gan Luo possibly like Lin Fengmian? At most, he just felt that Lin Fengmian was Gan Luo's possession, and his heart and soul could only be devoted to Gan Luo.
The rain grew heavier and heavier, each drop pattering against Gan Luo's face.
As Gan Luo looked at the rain, he was reminded of his past life.
Although I have been reborn, all the experiences I went through are still vivid in my mind.
Gan Luo never forgot, and sometimes he even dreamed about the past.
Gan Luo felt a pang of sadness at that moment.
After all, being betrayed by someone he cared about truly chilled Gan Luo's heart.
Gan Luo was not as cold-blooded and ruthless as the outside world had suggested.
Or perhaps Gan Luo was too sentimental.
A tear slid down from the corner of her eye and dripped onto the ground with the rain.
I don't know how much time passed, but the rain stopped.
Green Bamboo and Jade Bamboo had just made some pastries and planned to give them to Gan Luo to try.
Unexpectedly, I saw Gan Luo standing in the courtyard, completely soaked.
Seeing his disheveled appearance, the two men felt sorry for him and hurriedly went to Gan Luo's side.
"Your Highness, what are you doing? Why are you standing here alone in the rain?"
"It doesn't matter."
Gan Luo spoke expressionlessly, his eyes devoid of any emotion.
"This servant will take you inside to change your clothes. What if you catch a cold?"
