Transmigrated as the Treacherous Official's Childhood Sweetheart-Chapter 123: Engagement

Ye Zhi offered him a suggestion, "If you want to learn as well, you can become a disciple under the State Preceptor Pei Wanmu. He is currently teaching at the Imperial College and is said to accept only ten disciples, and only males, no females. You have a chance. His martial arts are extraordinary, and his swordsmanship is unparalleled, hard to find an equal."

After a pause, her curiosity emerged, "Why do you want to learn martial arts?"

The information about Pei Wanmu was actually gathered by Qinglian... 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Didn’t expect the Little Fairy to be so proactive!

The young boy in the brocade robe and jade crown remained expressionless, "Just want to have another skill to rely on, whether for myself or for the people I want to protect."

"That’s true, but rest assured, once you become a high official in the future, no one will harm you."

Only you will harm others...

The young girl’s voice was tender and gentle, blending into the night, tugging at one’s heartstrings~

Shen Chen nodded, "That’s exactly what I intend, to become a disciple under the State Preceptor."

In the world of martial arts: In Jade Pavilion, hearing about the martial world, observing the winds and clouds to plan for the world, State Preceptor Pei Wanmu is not only well-versed in scholarship, but his martial arts are also peerless.

Ye Zhi chirped, "Well then, you know I’m not smart, can’t help you much. At the academy you must study well. If you don’t have money, you can ask me. You’re someone who values face; if you’re embarrassed to ask, you can borrow it. When you have money in the future, you can repay it."

Then she added, "It doesn’t matter if you don’t pay it back!"

"If you need help, you can ask my parents, or Mr. Feng and Mr. Xun. Huanhuan and Changzhou can also help. The State Preceptor doesn’t take female students, so I can only join Mr. Qian. If you manage to get in, you’ll definitely learn qinggong, and then you can take me flying."

The young girl rambled on endlessly, always having a special fondness for flying in the sky~

Shen Chen agreed without hesitation, "Alright."

As a reward for being obedient, Ye Zhi patted his head.

His black hair felt curiously smooth to the touch.

"Ah Zhi, are you here?"

A voice came from the end of the winding corridor.

It was her mother.

Ye Zhi, not knowing why, hurriedly pushed the Little Traitor behind a small rockery, so her mother wouldn’t see him.

After hiding him well.

Ye Family had just arrived right in front.

Looking at her daughter with confusion, "What are you doing here? Just now I heard your voice, thought I was mistaken."

Ye Zhi pretended to enjoy the moon, looking at the moon in the sky, not daring to meet her mother’s eyes, sheepishly said, "I am here enjoying the moon, mother, are you looking for me?"

Pulling her mother away from the rockery, walking under the corridor, "The dew is heavy, let’s talk here."

Her small face was open and honest, making it hard for anyone to see anything unusual.

Ye Family suspected nothing and followed her daughter, "Ah Zhi, do you remember your Brother Xiao?"

"I don’t remember, mother, why?"

Ye Family pursued, "It’s the Brother Xiao you used to chase after as a child, always wanting him to carry you. Just this spring he injured his leg, so he’s been visiting the Ye Mansion less frequently."

The young girl in pink glanced at her mother, then lightly nodded, "I don’t remember too clearly, but I have a vague impression."

Possibly something from the real Ye Zhi’s past.

Ye Family flicked her daughter’s forehead, "You and your poor memory. Mother sees you’re grown now and thought it might be a good time to arrange a betrothal. A few days ago, I saw Lady Xiao. Ling Yun, that child, also made it to the top list of the Imperial College. The Xiao family is very wealthy. As a mother, I’ve watched Ling Yun grow up, and he’s quite a fine young man."

Hiding behind the rockery, the Little Traitor couldn’t remain calm; he had a strong impression of Xiao Lingyun.

Ye Zhi and Xiao Lingyun used to bully him a lot...

Would she be willing to accept an engagement?

Ye Zhi couldn’t help swallowing, finally realizing that her mother was talking about arranging a marriage for her.

Without thinking, she refused, "Mother, no, I want to choose my own future husband."
