Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 2563: Atonement for Sins 26.0
On the second day's competition, Shen Haolin, Shen Cha and Xue Ruitian did not go to watch it. Instead, Bai Meng, Ying Bao and Ying Falcon accompanied Yan Bo, Qin Zheng and Jiang Erye.

Originally Qi Bo wanted to join in the fun, but something happened at the stable. The foal, which had just been born not long ago, was snatching food from the big horse and was taught a lesson by the big horse. However, the lesson was a bit harsh and the foal was injured and was not in a very good mood. Qi Bo had to stay and accompany it and comfort it.

Shen Haolin, Shen Cha and Xue Ruitian couldn't help but roll their eyes at the same time when they heard the news. They had come into contact with the pony several times and felt that this little guy was not as well-behaved as he looked on the surface. He was a troublemaker at heart. It was no wonder that they made such a conclusion about this little guy. In fact, from birth to now, he had caused at least dozens of troubles.

"You really can?" Shen Haolin and Xue Ruitian stood at the entrance of the flower hall and looked at Shen Cha, Meilin and Jin Miaomiao who were ready to go, and said with some concern, "You really don't need us to accompany you?"

"No need, just go and do your own thing, we can do it." Shen Cha smiled, "There are more than three of us, we also have the second brother and the fifth brother to accompany us!"

"That's right!" Jin Miaomiao waved her hands at them and said, "Don't worry about us. This is not a gang fight. His hands and feet are heavily shackled. How can he beat us?"

".Okay!" Shen Haolin nodded. "If there is anything, please ask someone to come to us. We will be there as quickly as possible."

"it is good."

Shen Haolin and Xue Ruitian watched Shen Cha, Jin Miaomiao and Meilin leave. After they were far away, they looked at Hongye who had just come out of the flower hall and sighed softly.

"You're not going?"

Hongye shook her head, stretched lazily, pointed in the direction of the Marquis' Mansion, and said, "There is still half an hour before class starts."

"Oh, yes, there is such a thing." Xue Ruitian approached her and said with a half-smile, "I haven't heard you mention it for a while. How are they doing in their studies? Especially that young Master Qi, is he having a hard time?"

"He..." Hongye pushed Xue Ruitian who was close to her and said, "Actually, although he is a weak scholar, he is not the kind of person who can't carry anything. He still has some strength. It's just that his lower body is not very stable and sometimes he trips over himself." She looked at Shen Haolin next to her and sighed, "He is not the focus, Xiao Fengqi is."

"What's wrong with him? What's wrong with him again?"

"It's not a big deal, it's just his Kung Fu." Hongye frowned and said, "It doesn't look like Liao Kung Fu. It's different from the Liao generals we've met. It's not the kind of aggressive fighting style, but it's very delicate, like our fighting style."

"That's your prejudice. The style of the Xiao family is different from that of most Liao generals. They are not so rough. Besides, the Xiao family is full of talents and has attracted many retainers."

"Guest?" Hongye looked at Shen Haolin, then at Xue Ruitian, "What kind of retainer? Didn't you see that Xiao Fengqi's fighting style is quite good?"

"what?"

"Jianghu." Hongye sighed, "It's rare to see a soldier with such martial arts skills."

"He is not a soldier, and has not been to the battlefield many times." Xue Ruitian shook his head helplessly and said, "However, as you said, his kung fu was indeed taught by the people of Da Xia. As far as I know, his enlightenment master and the two other masters who taught him kung fu were all from our side, and they are genuine martial artists." "That's what I said!" Hongye stretched out his hand and hit Xue Ruitian, "If there was no one teaching, the kung fu would not be like that, but why would the martial artists of Da Xia be his martial arts masters?"

"I don't know about that." Xue Ruitian shook his head gently, "Maybe he committed a crime, or maybe for some other reason." He looked at Hongye who looked curious, and couldn't help but poked her forehead with his hand, saying, "If you are really curious, why not ask him yourself after class. Anyway, the Xiao family is gone now, there should be nothing to hide."

"That's right," Hongye thought for a moment, rubbed his chin, and said, "I'm not that curious."

"Hey, Haolin, you think she's acting like this because she's not saying what she means, right?" Xue Ruitian winked at Shen Haolin and patted Hongye. "Go ahead and ask her. Just think of it as my curiosity. I believe she won't hide anything."

"is it?"

Hongye felt a little guilty about what Xue Ruitian said. She knew why Xiao Fengqi would not hide it, but she didn't understand why Xue Ruitian could be so sure.

For a moment, Hongye thought Xue Ruitian knew her biggest secret.

But she observed carefully again and found that neither Xue Ruitian nor Shen Haolin seemed to show any special reaction, just like usual, so she put her heart at ease again.

"Okay, it's almost time, I'm going to go too." Hongye stretched and rubbed her stiff neck. "By the way, after giving them the evening class yesterday, the old lady said that if you have time, you should go back." She looked at Xue Ruitian and saw that Xue Ruitian was stunned. She raised her eyebrows and said, "I want to talk to you about Sister Ning and Xue Mu."

"This..." Xue Ruitian looked at Shen Haolin and then at Hongye, "Have they developed to this point? Are they going to start talking about marriage?"

Shen Haolin and Hongye exchanged glances and shook their heads at the same time.

"Yes, you can't possibly know." Xue Ruitian touched his chin, looked at Hongye, and said, "You've been in the Marquis' Mansion recently. Is there anything special between the two of them? Are they closer than before?"

"Hmm," Hongye recalled, "If you put it that way, it seems like that's what she meant." She looked at Xue Ruitian and said, "I originally thought that it was only Xue Mu who was pushing for it, but I've seen over the past two days that Sister Ning seems to have softened a bit and isn't as cold to him anymore. But I'm still a little worried."

"Are you worried that once Sister Ning gives in, Xue Mu will no longer cherish her and make Sister Ning sad?" Seeing Hong Ye nodded hesitantly, Xue Ruitian sighed and said, "Although Xue Mu is one of us, we grew up together and know each other well, but..."

"You have the same concerns, don't you?"

"Yeah, I have the same worry." Xue Ruitian thought for a moment, "How about this, you tell Madam Ning that I'll be over for dinner tonight and we can chat while we're at it."

"Okay, I'll pass it on."
