Chapter 299
As soon as Tao Zhen returned to the academy, she found that everyone was staring at her. She knew it was because of what happened today.She was used to keeping a low profile, but she was really not used to facing so many fiery eyes.

Especially the people from Mingshan Academy looked at her with quite complicated eyes.

Xia Chujiu stood by the railing on the second floor and looked at her. Tao Zhen turned a deaf ear to his provocation. He was just a defeated general. His skills were inferior to others and he couldn't afford to lose. Why was he staring at her?
Fortunately, Jiang Chunsheng appeared in time to save her.

Jiang Chunsheng said: "Don't worry about Mingshan Academy. I'm just angry about the food and drinks. I came back in the afternoon and broke things."

Tao Zhen nodded: "I don't take it seriously."

"Mr. Lin and the dean will be back soon. There may be a celebration party tomorrow."

Tao Zhen was stunned: "What celebration banquet?"

Jiang Chunsheng said: "I knew you didn't know that it was organized by the Prince of Yanbei and invited people from all the major academies. Our academy came out on top, so of course we can go."

This banquet also has the most opportunities. She has to climb up, deal with these people, and seize the opportunity. As long as these people move their fingers, she might be able to save a few years of struggle.

But opportunities always coexist with risks. Tao Zhen felt that he was already in the limelight today and there was no need to be the first at this time.

To put it bluntly, virtue is not matched.

Tao Zhen is self-aware. She knows very well how much she weighs.

"Can you not go?" Tao Zhen asked.

Jiang Chunsheng was stunned: "Don't you want to go? This is a good opportunity."

Tao Zhen looked at him: "This is a good opportunity for you. In the future, whether it is the King of Yanbei or the nobleman in the capital, if you catch their eyes, your career will be just around the corner. But for me, , completely unnecessary.”

Jiang Chunsheng was young after all, so he was naturally very happy to go to Yanbei Prince's Mansion, and he didn't have much to think about, but Tao Zhen couldn't help but think about it.

A sheep runs into a pack of wolves. If there are wolves that don't keep their duty, the sheep has no ability to protect itself.

The best thing to do is not to go.

But sometimes, there are things that you can't avoid if you want to. Tao Zhen told Mr. Lin that she wouldn't go. Mr. Lin was very understanding and told her to have a good rest and that they would go back in two days.

But soon, the invitation from Yanbei Palace was sent, and it was specially delivered to Tao Zhen, asking her to go by name.

Tao Zhen was not very happy when he received the invitation.

Jiang Chunsheng didn't understand: "The King of Yanbei personally sent the invitation, which shows that he values ​​you. Why don't you go?"

Tao Zhen looked up at him: "If I were a man, I would go, but what do you think is worthy of King Yanbei's attention in me?"

Jiang Chunsheng's expression changed: "What should we do? He won't fall in love with you, right?"

Tao Zhen shook his head, who knows.

Maybe King Yanbei simply admired her?

Mr. Lin said: "You don't have to worry. The people attending this banquet are all students from Fucheng Academy, as well as some talented men and women. They will be fine."

When Mr. Lin said this, Tao Zhen felt relieved.

Mr. Lin added: "Su Xun will also go then. You, Jiang Chunsheng, Su Xun and the others will be together."

"it is good."

Although I don't have much contact with Su Xun, I still feel that he has a good character.

So on the day of the banquet, Tao Zhen dressed very low-key and went to Yanbei Palace. Standing at the door of Yanbei Palace, Jiang Chunsheng was still very excited and couldn't help but sigh that it was so luxurious.

Tao Zhen looked around. As Mr. Lin said, the banquet was very formal and not as she thought. Tao Zhen was somewhat relieved.

Those who came to this symposium were all students from major academies. King Yan Bei cherished reputation and talents, and he had a mentality of winning over these students from the academies.

Different from usual, Yunde Academy shines this year, and the seats are better than other academies. It is next to Bailu and Yuejian Academy.

Chu Chenglin looked like a handsome young man, chatting and laughing among the crowd. Zhen Yingtian was also surrounded by many people. Only Su Xun had an iceberg face as he was owed 500 taels and had not paid back. There was no one around him. It is clearly distinguishable from the lively crowd.

Tao Zhen and Jiang Chunsheng found a seat next to him and sat down. Su Xun glanced at them and said nothing. They were quiet. Tao Zhen liked his character a little bit.

"I'll stay with Su Xun, you go and play." Tao Zhen said to Jiang Chunsheng.

Jiang Chunsheng came here to see the world, and there was no need to stay with her all the time. Tao Zhen felt that she might be a villain. After all, this banquet was really formal, and she was simply overthinking it.

And sitting in front of Su Xun really saved a lot of trouble.After Jiang Chunsheng left, Tao Zhen sat eating and drinking, waiting for the banquet to end.

During this period, Su Xun sat upright, not squinting, and occasionally drank tea without saying a word.
Tao Zhen didn't feel embarrassed. She was just curious. After Su Xun drank so much water, didn't he want to go to the toilet?

Su Xun might have been annoyed by her, so he finally turned to look at her: "What's the matter with you?"

Tao Zhen laughed dryly: "I heard from Mr. Lin that your father is from the Inspection Department?"

Su Xun frowned slightly. He understood what Tao Zhen meant. There were many people who fawned over him, and he had seen many of them since childhood.

Tao Zhen saw him frowning and said nothing more.

Su Xun was silent for a while and said, "Do you want to change your status?"

Tao Zhen nodded, looked at Su Xun sincerely and said, "I thought so, so I agreed to Mr. Lin to attend the symposium, but Mr. Lin said that he might need your father's help."

In fact, there should be no problem with Dean Xu, but Mr. Lin specifically mentioned Su Xun, and Tao Zhen thought that Su Xun's words might be more effective.

Su Xun did not answer her, but asked her: "Is life in the exile village bad?"

Tao Zhen said: "It depends on what I say. Compared with you, I am definitely worse, but compared with Ning Guta, I am much better."

Su Xun was silent for a long time again, and Tao Zhen didn't say anything. After a long, long, long time, Su Xun said, "I will mention it to my father."

Tao Zhen "..."

Is it that simple?This Su Xun is too talkative.

"Thank you so much for that."

Su Xun shook his head: "No need."

After a pause, he said, "No need to thank me, you deserve it."

Tao Zhen "..."

In fact, she really wanted to ask Su Xun if he knew about Lin Shu, but after thinking about it, she decided to forget it. Now was not the time, so what could she do?

Just when the two of them were sitting without embarrassment, someone walked up to them.

Tao Zhen and Su Xun looked up at the same time and saw the nobleman from the capital standing in front of them.

"Long time no see, A-Zhen!"

The man greeted him familiarly, as if Tao Zhen was an acquaintance he hadn't seen for a long time.

But Tao Zhen looked confused. She didn't recognize this person.

"Sorry, who are you?"

The man squinted his eyes and looked into Tao Zhen's eyes, as if he wanted to see if she was lying.

Tao Zhen explained: "Something happened to me before."

She pointed to her head: "I have forgotten many things."

The man still stared at her for a long time, and finally smiled: "So A-Zhen has forgotten who I am. That's such a pity."

His attitude made Tao Zhen not very comfortable. The identity of this person who could appear next to King Yanbei should not be simple, but Tao Zhen really couldn't remember who he was.

Tao Zhen didn't think it was a pity, and she didn't know what this person was looking for.
The man sat in the seat in front of Jiang Chunsheng and said, "But Ah Zhen's ability to shine in a place like Yanbei is really impressive to me."

Tao Zhen frowned, feeling unhappy: "Who are you?"

She had a guess in her mind, but she wasn't sure.

"Who do you think I am?"

Tao Zhen looked at him and shook his head.

The man stood up and said: "It's good to forget..."
