Xie Qiao looked at him with a bitter look and then nodded reluctantly.
‘Qiao’er… Let’s go with Qiao’er, then…’
She felt weird.
At that moment, Xiao Yurong had not left yet. He even walked toward the two of them. Zhao Xuanjing took a step toward Xie Qiao and blocked him slightly.
Xiao Yurong bowed to the Crown Prince briefly and then said to Xie Qiao, “Thank you for showing the world map to us.”
Xie Qiao nodded. “You are welcome.”
“Since you are engaged to the Crown Prince now, you can be considered a member of the same sect.” Teacher Xiao was very interested in the young lady.
He had wanted to take Xie Qiao as his disciple earlier, unfortunately, she already had a teacher!
He did not know who was so lucky to have such a smart and good-natured disciple.
He was envious.
“Young Lady Xie said that your teacher has gone on a trip. I wonder when will he return?” Xiao Yurong asked again.
He tilted his neck slightly. It was tiring to talk, but the Crown Prince stood in the middle as if he was guarding against thieves. He was really a hindrance.
“Well… I just received news a few days ago that he has gone out to sea. He… won’t come back in the future,” Xie Qiao quickly added.
Xiao Yurong looked regretful.
He quickly said to the Crown Prince, “I was thinking that Young Lady Xie’s teacher is so powerful. If he were in the capital, it would be good for us to meet our master and learn from each other. Before I came here, I just received a pigeon letter. Master is about to enter the capital.”
Xie Qiao’s hands trembled.
The Crown Prince glanced at her subtly and asked, “When will he be here?”
“He didn’t say. He only said that it will be soon. If something happens on the way, it might take a while. I’m not sure.” Even when Teacher Xiao mentioned Li Shiyan, he showed extreme respect.
Xie Qiao tried hard to reduce her presence.
When her teacher accepted her as a disciple, she used the name Xie Qiao.
He knew about her identity, but later, he asked if she wanted more junior brothers. At that time, she told her teacher that she would be Mo Chusheng in the future…
However, if her teacher came back, she would have to serve him to show her filial piety. This would mean that she had to meet her junior brothers.
That was a little… unsettling.
“Are the three of them coming back as well?” The Crown Prince asked.
Xie Qiao was also curious about that.
“No. 3 and No. 5 will be. Fourth Junior Brother is not coming back as he’s handling something,” Xiao Yurong replied immediately.
Xie Qiao heaved a sigh of relief. It was a good thing to have one less person.
“Young Lady Xie, it’s a pity that your teacher is not here. However, your talent and ability are very rare. When the Crown Prince and my teacher return, we can meet him together. If you receive some advice from our teacher, you will benefit from it for the rest of your life,” Xiao Yurong said quickly.
These words were indeed for Xie Qiao’s good.
The Xie family’s identity was awkward. They could not be considered literate.
Xie Pinghuai had indeed taken Xiao Yurong as his master, but he was only Li Shiyan’s grand-disciple. Moreover, he had not published any good poems or articles. Thus, many scholars thought Xie Pinghuai was taking advantage of the situation.
However, if Xie Qiao was praised or taught by Li Shiyan personally, it would be terrific for the Xie family’s reputation.
“I’m not in a good condition… I’m afraid I won’t be free…” Xie Qiao said in a low voice.
“It’s a pity.” Xiao Yurong did not insist and his eyes lit up. He said to the Crown Prince, “I haven’t seen Senior Sister for a long time and I miss her very much. I don’t know what she has been busy with recently. When teacher comes back, I want to… ask for his opinion and hope he can match us up. If Senior Sister and I can really become a perfect couple, there’s nothing else that I want in this life….”
