Imperial Treasure-Chapter 730 - 450: Wooden Box_2

She paused, then said, "There will be plenty of time in the future, won’t there.."

Fatty Gao’s surprised gaze caused Mo Ke to turn away her face, as she heard Sui Yi softly say, "Sometimes, flowers do not scatter, and water flows on its own, beyond one’s control.."

It wasn’t a matter of helplessness, just a faint weariness.

"I still need to visit my mentor.. Miss Mo, it’s very cold outside, and it’s not good for you to stay out too long,"

Mo Ke’s expression became serious, she nodded once, watching the two leave...

Once their figures disappeared from sight, she said to herself, "What a strange person.."

"But the young miss values her highly."

"Shouldn’t she?"

"Whatever the young miss does is naturally right."

Another person appeared beside her, but Mo Ke did not look at him, and instead caressed the wooden box in her hands, murmuring softly, "Her injuries aren’t so simple.. otherwise, even Jiang Chenyu wouldn’t have been able to heal her fully.."

"Do you need me to investigate her whereabouts these past three months?"

"No need.. I think I already know,"

Mo Ke had already opened the wooden box and saw a book inside.

The scent of incense hit her...

"Great Heart Empty Scroll!!...." The person exclaimed in shock, unable to restrain the volume of his voice, full of wild joy.

"Miss, this is the Secret Technique needed to save you, the Family Head has been petitioning Green Bamboo Mountain for years without success, this person, this person...."

Mo Ke gently stroked the cover... and closed her eyes.

"This matter should only be known to father, I do not wish for a third person in the family to know..."

"Understood,"

The person vanished, and Mo Ke hugged the box tightly, exhaling softly.

So, had she been at Green Bamboo Mountain in the Northwest these three months? And even managed to earn a new level of respect from the Mountain Master?

Sui Yi, how much more about you remains unknown?

————————

During her time in the principal’s office, Sui Yi met Su Zimu and Principal Su Hanwen, but also saw that Chu Muzhe.

Chu Muzhe merely glanced at her, nodded slightly, and moved to a side table to sort some documents...

After the meeting ended, Su Hanwen took the initiative to invite Sui Yi to visit the Su Mansion as a guest, and with Su Zimu adding his encouragement, Sui Yi agreed.

She left shortly afterward.

Chu Muzhe, following behind with the documents, called out to Sui Yi in the hallway.

He handed her a set of documents.

Sui Yi looked at him.

"You’ve been away from school for three months, and while your academic credits can be discussed, missing those exams is something the professors from the Archaeology Department have likely informed you about. However, you haven’t attended the society meetings even once, so please compensate with several Ancient Style Society scholarly reports for my review, and then we can discuss whether you can make up the society credits,"

Normally, someone like Sui Yi, who had hardly completed a month of classes in a semester, wouldn’t pass so easily or proceed to the next term without disruption, but the school had made an exception, and even this usually meticulous Student Council President was handling the matter...

Sui Yi saw coldness and a matter-of-fact attitude in his eyes.

"Alright, thank you,"

Sui Yi took the documents and left.

After coming out of the building, Sui Yi saw Yhan Qingwu at the school gate, standing beside a car, holding an umbrella, who smiled upon seeing her, while Luo Feng beside her looked at Sui Yi curiously.

Just as she approached,

Cao Yu’s car pulled up nearby.

Cao Yu got out without any cover for the snow, and approached her personally.

His arrival caused many nearby students to stop and stare.

Cao Yu did not beat around the bush.

"Miss Sui, thanks to your help, Cao Yu has escaped danger several times, and it is only proper for me to express my deep gratitude," he paused, looking at Yhan Qingwu and the others, then said, "However, it seems that you’re already engaged, so let us set another day for the Cao Family to host a banquet in thanks, and we would be honored if Miss Sui could grace us with her presence.."

Cao Yu’s manner was very humble, as it had to be, for after all, Sui Yi had saved him twice.

The duty of repaying a life-saving grace with a spring of gratitude was especially significant to ancient families, and particularly for someone like Sui Yi, who was clearly no ordinary person, this kind of benefactor should be thanked and possibly even wooed.

The Cao Family was not like those who didn’t recognize talent and always carried themselves with undue pride.

Sui Yi didn’t have a low opinion of the Cao Family, and was aware that during her three months away from the Capital City, Sui Tang Square had not lacked assistance from the Cao Family...

The Cao Family was a strong and reliable ally.

"Alright," Sui Yi agreed.

Cao Yu smiled and quickly got back into his car and drove away.

Sui Yi and Yhan Qingwu also left...

Not far away, Ye Zixu received a message from Sui Yi.

After reading it, he turned and left.

She had dinner with Tang Hanyan and her daughter, along with Luo Feng. Sui Yi only watched him for a while before realizing that although Luo Feng was proud and cunning, he was extremely nice to the mother and daughter. However, for some reason, he was also exceptionally courteous and attentive to her...
