Chapter 65.5 – His Confession, His Promise (5

T/N: Chapter (2/12) sponsored by Madam Daim! Thank you for sponsoring!
Soon after, Du Ke Xin turned and walked out of the courtyard entrance. Just as she was leaving, she looked back the person by the lakeside and coldly snorted, before turning to
leave.
Du Xiao Li stood by the lakeside, staring at the lotus leaves in the lake. She didn’t expect that there was actually this thing in the school. Right now was currently the time when
lotus flowers bloomed vibrantly. The entire lake surface was filled with lotus flowers, appearing extremely beautiful.
“Li’er?”
Just when Du Xiao Li was getting somewhat impatient from waiting, Han Ming Yi’s voice came from behind.
Du Xiao Li turned around and just so happened to see Han Ming Yi. Han Ming Yi at the moment was wearing purple long gown, an ink colored belt at his waist with a jade
pendant hanging from it. His hair was tied into a bun on the top of his head, only using a white jade hairpin as decoration. Behind him followed a crowd of teenage boys, all
successively pointing to her when they saw her.
“Big brother Yi.” Du Xiao Li nodded at Han Ming Yi.
“Li’er, how come you’re here?” Han Ming Yi waved his hand at the people behind him, and then walked over to Du Xiao Li.
“Second sister let me wait here for her.” Du Xiao Li replied.
“Here?”
Du Xiao Li nodded and narrated what had happened.
“This is already the boys’ learning halls vicinity, girls aren’t allowed to casually enter here. I’ll take you to go find Elder Fu.” By the time Han Ming Yi finished listening to her
explanation, he’d already understood the scheme within.
“Big brother Yi, what are you doing here?” Du Xiao Li just knew Du Ke Xin would sooner or later act against herself. Didn’t expect that she would choose to declare war towards
her at school!
“Right now, I’m currently the academy’s military affairs teacher. I received Elder Fu’s invitation to come teach them some knowledge on military affairs. At the moment, I just
happened to finish the lecture and was currently planning on taking them to the training grounds to put the theories into practice. Come, I’ll take you over there first.” Han Ming
Yi said, and then turned around towards those students, “You all wait here.”

Du Xiao Li followed Han Ming Yi out of the courtyard, “Is it okay to just abandon them like that?”
“No matter.” Han Ming Yi said, “This month, it’s been rather busy at the barracks, so I didn’t go look for you. Have you gotten used to staying in the capital?”
“It’s alright.” Du Xiao Li replied.
“Then that’s good.” Han Ming Yi said, then stopped talking, and lead Du Xiao Li to a courtyard.
“Ding Wang, Du third miss.” A person dressed as a scholar was currently walking in the courtyard. Seeing them enter, he greeted them.
“Gentleman Mo.” Du Xiao Li recognized him and called out towards him. He was precisely the Mo Yang that looked for her last time to gather various area’s culture.
“Is Elder Fu present?” Han Ming Yi asked.
“Replying to Ding Wang, teacher is currently waiting for Miss Du. I’ll take you all over right away.” Mo Yang said.
“So your teacher is actually Elder Fu!”
“Yes. Miss Du please follow me.” Mo Yang smiled towards Du Xiao Li.
Du Xiao Li waved her hand at Han Ming Yi and then turned to follow Mo Yang inside. Han Ming Yi watched as Du Xiao Li and Mo Yang left chatting happily, his two eyes
slightly narrowed. All the way until Du Xiao Li turned the corner and couldn’t be seen anymore did he finally leave.
(T/N: A moment of silence for poor Mo Yang who is now surely targeted by ML.)
Mo Yang brought Du Xiao Li into a little courtyard in the back and then went to knock on the door. Afterwards, he lead Du Xiao Li inside and said to the person inside that
practically had their head buried in a book, “Teacher, Du third miss has come.”
Fu Tai lifted his head and looked to Du Xiao Li, “Du third miss, how come you’ve come this late?”
Fu Tai was someone with a slender figure, and because of staying inside doing scholarly research for long periods of time, his skin was rather white, letting him appear a little
younger, hardly anything like an already fifty some year old man.
‘Elder’ was an official position in charge of the entire country’s education, and at the same time, also the Imperial Academy Four Way Academy’s headmaster.
(T/N: Elder is a simplified translation, more directly it’s ‘cabinet elder’ or cabinet minister; historically the position is in a way like an elderly board of advisors to the Emperor as
their job is mostly to assist the Emperor.)
“Xiao Li greets Elder Fu.” Du Xiao Li bowed to Fu Tai and said, “Because just now I got lost in the courtyard, thus I came late.”
“How come no one lead you here?” Fu Tai frowned.
(T/N: I would’ve thrown Du Ke Xin under the bus so fast.)
“Afterwards, I encountered Ding Wang, and he had me brought over.” Du Xiao Li replied.
“En, this is your student registration, and also your textbooks, as well as the key to your room for noon break.” Fu Tai had a pile of books and a key handed to Du Xiao Li, then
waved his hand and said, “Alright, go attend class then. Mo Yang, you take her to the classroom.”
With that said, he lowered his head again and began flipping through the book in front. His brows were tightly furrowed, seemingly having encountered some difficult problem.
“Yes, teacher.”
“Yes, Elder Fu.”
Mo Yang helped Du Xiao Li pick up the books on the table and lead her out. Afterwards, he had her brought to the classroom in the front and said, “We’ve arrived. This is your
classroom. Mo Yang will be going back now.”
“Thank you Gentleman Mo.” Du Xiao Li took the books from Mo Yang’s hands and thanked him with a smile.
Mo Yang nodded at her, then turned and left. Du Xiao Li carried the books in hand and went to knock on the door. A tall thin teacher was currently inside lecturing. Seeing Du
Xiao Li, he said, “You’re the new student that came today? Don’t you know that the first rule for students is to not be late? Since you’ve come this late, just stand outside and
listen then!”
WTF! Du Xiao Li inwardly cursed.
“Teacher, this is Du third miss’s first time coming to the school, perhaps she didn’t recognize the way and thus got held up.” At this time, a gentle voice sounded from inside the
classroom.
Du Xiao Li looked inside and saw that it was Fu Ya Lan speaking out for her

That Gao Zi Fu looked to Fu Ya Lan and said, “Miss Fu’s words are reasonable, then this time, I’ll forgive you. Come in and sit down at the desk in the very back.”
(T/N: Fu Ya Lan is related to Elder Fu, it hasn’t been specified yet but possibly his granddaughter.)
Thankfully she could enter now. Du Xiao Li didn’t want to stand outside and be watched like a monkey. She gratefully smiled at Fu Ya Lan, then carried her books to the last row
and sat down. Just as she put down her books, she saw a familiar figure next to her currently sleeping. But before she could wake her, she already heard from the front Gao Zi
Fu’s lion roar—
“Ji Liu Xia, you’re sleeping in my class again!”
“Here!” Ji Liu Xia, who’d been sound asleep on the desk, upon hearing her own name, immediately sat up and loudly replied.
“Hahaha!” The entire class burst into laughter.
“Sleeping during lecture, how is that proper!? Go stand outside as punishment!” Gao Zi Fu angrily roared.
“Oh.” Ji Liu Xia faintly responded, then tidied her clothes and stood up, preparing to go out. Seeing her progress so familiarly, it seems this was a frequent occurrence.
Sure enough—
“Who let your lectures be like lullabies, making me fall asleep every time. However, every time it’s just standing outside as punishment, not the least bit creative…..”
“Pfft—” Du Xiao Li couldn’t help but laugh from seeing her appearance.
T/N: I wrote out my work schedule for this week (https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/63c87b09-7b53-43f7-a61c-1f5741f28522/dd3lr1h-ca3f00af6960-43a9-b004-3e4761afba8c.jpg/v1/fill/w_1166,h_685,q_70,strp/untitled_by_jenmini_dd3lr1h-pre.jpg?
