Combat Emperor: Zhang Yu's Journey
Chapters... 81: College Brothers
Zhang Yu entered the residence of the head of the academy to look for his teacher. But the teacher was not in the front yard and in the living room, so he decided to go straight to the backyard.
Seen from a distance can be seen the silhouette of the back of a person sitting on a square stone stage beside the gazebo. Zhang Yu was sure it was his teacher so without saying much swung his feet towards him.
But just the first few steps, a single sword-shaped energy force shot out almost slashing at his head.
It's really dangerous not to immediately pull away to dodge.
"Who are you?! Isn't there a prohibition to enter this residence without permission?" A person sitting on the stone platform slowly lowered his legs and turned his back.
Zhang Yu was pecking at the spot ever since hearing his voice. The look on his face became complicated when he saw that it was truly the Seventh "Prince.
It wasn't just Zhang Yu. When he first raised his face, Xuan Yin was shocked to the point of being silent with her mouth half-opened.
"W-how are you here?" search Xuan Yin with riled up. He turned his head in several directions then walked over after making sure no one was around.
"What are you doing here?"
Zhang Yu immediately stabilized his expression. Then reply calmly. "Of course I'm here as a student of the academy."
Academy student?
Xuan Yin so remembered about Zhang Yu's name that his father and mother had told him. Then a face appeared near the gate the first time he came.
So this isn't all a coincidence? Not hallucinations?
Seeing Xuan Yin silent, Zhang Yu again said, "The Seventh Princess looks disappointed. Do you think I came to visit you?"
Xuan Yin's two cheeks instantly turned red. He turned his face to hide it. "Who cares whether you're a student or an elder. I just want to tell you this isn't a public place that just anyone can go to."
"You'd better get out of here" he added.
Yet Zhang Yu was unmoved as if covering his ears. Ignoring Xuan Yin who spoke and swung a leg towards the gazebo to sit there.
Xuan Yin chased after. "Hey! Don't you have ears? I'm asking you to get out of here right now!"
He had even forgotten the calm and cold figure of the seventh prince. All of this was because of Zhang Yu, but again and again Zhang Yu ignored him making Xuan Yin even more annoyed.
Right along with that Wang Chen came.
Xuan Yin who felt this was an opportunity wanted to complain. But who would have thought that Zhang Yu first stood up and gave his regards. "For Master!"
The word "teacher" that came out of Zhang Yu's mouth made Xuan Yin frown. "Who are you calling teacher?" his screeches.
Zhang Yu just smiled. The newly arrived Wang Chen immediately walked to the gazebo then sat there.
"You two are sitting here," the old man asked as he pointed at the seat in question.
Despite Xuan Yin's reluctant look, Zhang Yu sat side by side in front of Wang Chen.
"Teacher, can you explain all this?"
Wang Chen understood. The old man laughed softly before explaining to the two younger generations before him. "The point is that you two are my students. So in the future you have to get along."
Xuan Yin nearly choked upon hearing this truth. He glanced at Zhang Yu for a moment then turned back to Wang Chen.
"Teacher, I don't want a younger brother like him!"
"No-no. Not a college brother, but a college brother."
Xuan Yin's breathing grew increasingly stifled upon hearing this. The tail of his eyes glanced at Zhang Yu reluctantly.
Fellow student? She's my sister? This is absolutely impossible!
In an instant there were only the two of them left. Zhang Yu sat down quietly, but in contrast to Xuan Yin who was feeling uneasy.
"Hey, let's make peace. How's it?" After being silent for quite a while finally Xuan Yin opened his voice.
"I mean let's forget the past and just assume nothing ever happened."
"In addition you must keep your promise to keep the truth a secret" he added.
Zhang Yu silently did not respond making Xuan Yin raise his face turned. Who would have thought that Zhang Yu had sat on the stone stage and had already closed his eyes.
"Hey! I'm still talking to you! How can you ignore me?!" Xuan Yin grunted furiously.
He had never been ignored like this by anyone. But this man blatantly ignored her. Basic man is outrageous!
Xuan Yin waited there for some time, but saw Zhang Yu unmoved where he could not bear to stand and leave.
After all his teacher was the only person other than Zhang Yu who knew his secret in the academy. Master couldn't possibly divulge it, so if until someone else knew then he would only need to find Zhang Yu to take responsibility.
Zhang Yu opened his eyes after not sensing Xuan Yin's existence. He looked towards the empty gazebo and raised his shoulders.
Along with that Wang Chen came back. He walked quietly while keeping his hands behind his back. "It seems you know quite deeply."
Ah...
"Teacher ...."
"Do you also know the Seventh Prince's great secret?" wang Chen asked directly.
Zhang Yu was silent, before saying so. "If what Master meant was the secret of the Seventh Prince being a woman, then I have really known it."
Wang Chen's facial sharpness became complicated. "How can you?"
Zhang Yu scratched the nape of his head that was not itchy when he heard such a question. "It's a little hard to explain, Master. What is certain is that this started from an accidental meeting."
Wang Chen. But in an instant he turned serious. "Zhang Yu, lest anyone know about this truth. You have to keep it a secret."
Inexplicably hearing his teacher's serious tone of speech Zhang Yu felt that there was no trivial matter related to Xuan Yin's secret.
But when trying to ask the teacher even pretended not to hear it.
"Oh yeah, what business did you have coming to see your teacher?"
Zhang Yu cleared his throat once. "Teacher, you're looking so low on me, aren't you?"
"There's no purpose? It's not like you used to."
"But there's one thing I want to ask you." Zhang Yu smiled innocently then took out a piece of paper from his clothing pocket.
Wang Chen's facial sharpness turned flat. Though he wanted to praise this student, but it turned out to be the same.
"Ask what?" Wang Chen glanced at the sheet of paper and gradually peeked at it. But because it was not too clear yet he took it from Zhang Yu's hands.
"Is this what you want to ask?"
When he first saw it Wang Chen was still able to calm down. However, when recognizing the writing on the paper, his facial expression slowly changed.
He placed the piece of paper on the table, as his eyes did not stop paying attention to Zhang Yu.
"Well this, who did you get it from?"
