Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

Chapter 823 Miscalculation

Seeing that he looked unwell, Gu Chan couldn't help but ask.

"What's wrong with you? Is there something wrong?"

"Miss, you are confused! How can you propose such conditions to Young Master Feng?" Xuan Xiao said with a bitter face.

"What's the big deal? With his unlearned appearance, how could he really get into the top three?" Gu Chan said disdainfully.

Xuan Xiao sighed helplessly, and hurriedly pulled a chair to sit at the table. He said sternly, "Miss, you can't judge a person by his appearance, and you can't measure the depth of the sea. You really underestimated Master Feng."

"What do you mean?" Gu Chan said dumbfounded.

"Do you know who is the most talented person in our northern border?" Xuan Xiao asked.

Gu Chan shook her head indifferently.

How could she, an outsider, know so much?

Xuan Xiao said in a deep voice, "This person is none other than Young Master Feng Haofeng. He learned to read at the age of three, was proficient in poetry at the age of five, and wrote the "Ode to the Goddess" at the age of seven, which shocked the entire Diyue Nation's literary world. This masterpiece has even been included in the royal doctrine. The queen has ordered that the princes and princesses must learn this work from a young age!"

"I... fuck..." Gu Chan opened her mouth wide, in shock.

Depend on!
She never imagined that the second-generation rich man who looked so unremarkable last night was actually a genius! And most importantly, he was a child prodigy.

For a child prodigy like this, it seems like he can get into the top three in just a few minutes even without studying, right?
Damn it! Is God playing a joke on her?

Xuan Xiao added, "Not only that, Young Master Feng passed the imperial examination at the age of twelve, and when he came of age at the age of sixteen, the royal family issued an imperial decree for him to serve as an official in the capital, and the empress also wanted him to stay by her side in the palace!"

"That shouldn't be the case! This kid was so promising, how could he become like this?" Gu Chan said puzzledly.

Anyway, when she saw Feng Hao in Zuichunlou last night, he acted like a complete playboy. How could he be a great talent?
What's more, he also did not fall behind in the ridiculous behavior of the disgusting second-generation rich!

There doesn't seem to be any essential difference between this and those rich second-generations who are just good-for-nothings, right?
This...really made her feel extremely confused.

Xuan Xiao explained, "Young Master Feng doesn't like being restrained, nor does he like fighting in the court, nor does he want to be the empress's plaything. So since he received the imperial edict, he has changed completely. He started running away from home and stayed in Qingpu every day. He didn't want to go home at all. This is something that everyone on our northern border basically knows."

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Gu Chan said unhappily.

"Miss, you didn't ask me in advance! If you asked me in advance, I would definitely stop you! But now you have done it, this..." Xuan Xiao said with a face full of grievance.

Gu Chan was choked speechless.

At the beginning, she was indeed in a hurry to get the clearance documents and wanted to leave Xuanyue City as soon as possible and rush to Kyoto. Therefore, she did not ask Xuan Xiao or anyone else about Feng Hao's matter. She went to Zuichunlou alone to deal with him.

Thinking about it now, she really felt that she was a bit reckless before.

He hadn't even finished his intelligence work yet, but he had already gone into battle himself, so it was only natural that some mistakes would occur.

But now that things have already happened, there is no point in thinking too much. She can only bite the bullet and think about how to solve the next trouble.

Xuan Xiao smiled wryly and said, "Miss, with Young Master Feng's talent, it would be a piece of cake for him to get into the top three. I'm afraid you will be in trouble if you try to argue with him." "Damn it! No wonder just now in the Feng family lobby, when Feng Hao said that he would get into the top three, his parents didn't seem surprised at all, but seemed very happy. Now I completely understand that they are not worried at all that their son will not get into the top three! Instead, they are worried that he will not take the exam or do it." Gu Chan said, patting his forehead with his hand.

Considering the reactions of Feng Tianyang and He just now, she was very sure that what Xuan Xiao said was probably absolutely correct.

Xuan Xiao turned and asked, "Miss, do you like Young Master Feng?"

"I don't like him at all. I agreed just to get the approval documents. I never thought there would be such a drama." Gu Chan said angrily.

"That's it. If he really makes it into the top three in the spring exam, what will you do then?" Xuan Xiao said, spreading his hands.

Gu Chan said with a stiff face, "Let's not think about it so much for now. Let's take it one step at a time. Once we get the documents for passing the exam tomorrow, we will leave the city and head towards Kyoto. Anyway, there is still a month before the spring exam! I may finish my work during this period of time. At worst, I can just run away."

"What about me? What should I do?" Xuan Xiao said dumbfounded.

"Why don't you follow me? I have food to eat, how can I let you starve? Besides, in this chaotic world, there are always countries to stay in! You don't have to stay in this Diyue Kingdom to make a fortune, don't you think?" Gu Chan said with a wink.

Xuan Xiao was relieved when he heard this, and hurriedly expressed his loyalty, "Okay, then wherever the lady goes, I will follow. Anyway, if I follow you, I won't have to worry about food and drink, and I can also learn some business skills, which is not bad."

"It's settled then. Go to bed quickly and get up early tomorrow morning. Tell the three coachmen to be ready. Once we get the customs clearance documents, we will run away. Don't go with Feng Hao. We will just get rid of him." Gu Chan ordered.

Xuan Xiao nodded affirmatively, immediately took his leave and went back to his room to rest.

Gu Chan, feeling uneasy, lay down on the bed holding the calico cat and went to sleep.

That night, Gu Chan tossed and turned and couldn't sleep until the second half of the night, when she fell into a drowsy sleep.

Early the next morning, when she was still sleeping soundly in bed, Feng Tianyang had already arrived with a team of soldiers and surrounded the entire Zhaofeng Tower.

Xuan Xiao got up early and told three coachmen to tie up the herbs, then parked the three carriages side by side outside Zhaofeng Tower, ready to run away at any time. Seeing that Feng Tianyang had made such a big fuss, he realized that something was wrong, so he quickly slipped into the building, ran to the third floor and banged on Gu Chan's door.

Gu Chan was awakened, got up, quickly packed her clothes, went to open the door and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Miss, it's bad. Master Feng has brought a team of soldiers and surrounded the entire building. I don't think this is a good thing!" Xuan Xiao said anxiously.

"Don't panic, calm down. Go wait outside first. I'll see what he means first." Gu Chan said calmly.

Xuan Xiao nodded hurriedly, then ran downstairs and waited outside in the carriage.

Just after he left, Feng Tianyang came to Gu Chan's door and knocked on it.

Gu Chan pretended to know nothing, came to open the door and said, "Master Feng, you are here so early! Have you had breakfast?"

"How can you have time to eat breakfast? Hurry up and pack up and follow me to the City Lord's Mansion. My eldest brother wants to see you." Feng Tianyang said solemnly.

"The city lord wants to see me? Why?" Gu Chan asked with a frown.

Just provoking Feng Tianyang's family of three was enough to make her uncomfortable, and now she was asked to provoke the city lord. She definitely didn't want to go.
