Zi Lang? Mo Fan?

Jiuniang didn't know who these two people were, and there wasn't the slightest impression of them in her mind.

But she clearly felt that Gu Jinyu's hand seemed to tremble a little when the person in front of her said these two names.

With a slight frown, Jiuniang looked at Gu Jinyu worriedly: "Brother, quickly go in."

Pushing Gu Jinyu gently, Jiuniang couldn't help but urge him.

After all, she was not the real Kid. When she woke up, she already knew the situation with her face. But after such a long time, she was already slowly accepting reality, so although this youth's words were like a thorn piercing her heart, it did not cause her to lose control.

Judging from the young man's appearance, he must be rich and well-off. It would be inappropriate to have a conflict with him in such a situation.

"Good girl, Jiuniang!" Gu Jinyu smiled and gently patted Jiuniang's head.

Jiuniang could not help but heave a sigh of relief, and her hanging heart slowly relaxed as well. She had said that even though Gu Jinyu was only a twelve to thirteen year old youngster, he was always calm and steady, and would definitely not rashly clash with others.

But...

"Jiuniang, step back."

Jin Niang was not prepared for the gentle push. She retreated a few steps before she managed to regain her balance.

The alarm in his mind instantly rang, it can't be, what is Gu Jinyu trying to do?

"Elder brother ?" Jiuniang reached out a hand to try to pull Gu Jinyu away, but...

Although his eyes were sharp, with his excellent hearing, he effortlessly walked up to the young man in embroidered clothes.

Even though Gu Jinyu could not be considered robust, he was still considered tall among his peers. Adding his stable temperament, standing in front of that youth put down that youth's pressure. He just stood there silently, his distinct black and white eyes thoughtfully staring at the young man in embroidered clothes. He didn't say a single word, he just stood there quietly ? The youth could feel the boundless pressure.

"You, what do you want to do?" Suddenly, the teenager became angry. He took two steps back and put his hands on his hips. With red eyes and a high-pitched voice, he said, "I-I'm not wrong!" Hmph, no one in the academy doesn't know that your ugly little sister is so shameless as to seduce Zi Lang and pester Mo Fan everyday! "It's not like I'm wrong!"

In the academy, Gu Jinyu was a very special existence. Although he was blind, he was extremely intelligent. No matter if it was when he was studying or practicing calligraphy, no one would be able to catch up to him. At first, there was no academy in the town, but ten years ago, there were three teachers who traveled here, after settling down, they opened a school to teach the children around, and earn some money. The three teachers, one teaching, one teaching the martial arts, and one teaching the math, all three of them praised Gu Jinyu greatly, and even said that it was a pity that his eyes were sick, otherwise, it would not be impossible for him to become a top scholar.

Thus, even if his eyes were ill and his family was poor, no one in the academy would dare to look down on him.

As for Zi Lang and Mo Fan, they were facing Gu Jinyu.

In fact, it was said that they were a side branch of the royal merchant, the Nangong family. However, even so, the Zi Lang family was still the wealthiest family in the whole town, and even in the whole prefecture and county. It was said that even the county magistrate had to give them some points. On the other hand, Mo Fan was the son of the county magistrate. However, it was said that he was given this title by his concubine. During these years, he had always been under Lord Mo. Logically speaking, the two of them shouldn't have lowered themselves to enter the Academy, which was located in such a remote town. However, the two of them chose the Academy at the same time, and the two of them entered the Academy the same year as Gu Jinyu. "The only difference was that both of them had already passed the Elementary Scholar examination and were only waiting for the time to take the Elementary Scholar examination ?

"Wh ?" What? You... You... Hahaha ? Haha ? You, You... Just you... "Only you want to ?"

Both of his eyes opened wide, one of his fingers pointing towards Gu Jinyu. The young man in silk looked at him in shock, then suddenly burst out laughing: "Gu Jinyu, Gu Jinyu, I think you have a bad brain, or you're just daydreaming!" You want to take the Elementary Scholar exam with your current state? Haha, this is too interesting! "I think the world is wrong. It's not that you have eyes, but that you have brain problems."

The youth in embroidered clothing laughed loudly. His tone unconsciously became higher by several degrees, immediately attracting many people who came to watch.

Some of them were students from the academy, while others were pedestrians passing by.

The pedestrians might not know Gu Jinyu, but the students in the academy knew him.

"What?" Gu Jinyu wanted to test for Elementary Scholar status? "How is this possible!?"

"Exactly!" "Stop joking around!"

"Tsk tsk, what a strange story. In all the past generations, no one had ever heard of a blind person taking the master's examination!"

As fellow students of the academy, those who were able to enroll in the academy these days were not rich, but their families. Which one of them wasn't well liked in their own home? Naturally, they were even more proud. However, even if Gu Jinyu couldn't see, it was fine, but he was still nurturing his head to suppress them. Due to Mister's favoritism, they could only endure the numerous complaints they had made during the day. In their opinion, no matter how capable Gu Jinyu was, what use would it be? What's the use of reading so many books when you're blind? He had never heard of a blind man taking the Elementary Scholar examination. However, now that they heard that he wanted to take the Elementary Scholar examination, the students could no longer hold themselves back and started mocking him.

"What?" The child's eyes could not see it? "

"Aiyo, this ?" "It doesn't look like it, it really doesn't look like it ?"

"What a pity that such a good child is blind ?."

Compared to the students, the passersby were filled with sympathy, their gazes all falling onto Jinyu as they shook their heads in regret.

Most of these people were from nearby villages. Most of them came to town to sell some things that were produced by their families, and to buy some things that their families needed. Most of them did not know anything, and more or less had some respect for these students.

Naturally, they did not know anything about the Lingzhi Jade Tree, much less what temperament one could call an orchid.

In their eyes, Gu Jinyu was just a good-looking teenager.

However ?

However, this kind of sympathy was the most hurtful.

Blind, Blind, Blind ?

They continuously lingered beside Gu Jinyu's ears. Even when he tried his best to restrain himself and keep himself calm, his expression still could not help but slightly change.

After all, he was only a twelve or thirteen year old youth.

Although he was more mature and more mature than an ordinary child, but ? Blindness was always a wound in his heart...

Clenching his fists tightly, he stood there silently, forcefully pulling at the corners of his mouth. In his heart, he was constantly telling himself to laugh, laugh, laugh!

At this moment, besides laughing, he didn't know what else to do.

But his heart was bleeding.

"Shut up!" So what if you can't see with your eyes? Even if my brother can't see it, he's still better than all of you! "I think all of you are jealous and envious!" Slowly walking forward, Jiuniang tightly held onto Gu Jinyu's hand, his clear eyes were filled with despise: "In all the generations, the blind have never taken the Elementary Scholar examination, but there is also no rule that says blind cannot take the Elementary Scholar examination right? There was always a precedent for everything. Even though no one had managed to do it in the past, it didn't mean that no one had been able to do it forever! Humph! You people have been studying the Four Books and Five Classics since you were young, and you claim to be full of books. I didn't expect you guys to be so narrow-minded! No wonder you guys can't compare to my brother. It's hard to say anything else, but with your mentality, it's hard to achieve great things!

He was stunned.

Everyone was stunned.

Be it those students who thought highly of themselves or those sympathetic passersby, everyone was shocked by Jiuniang's words.

Her two small hands were tightly clasped together as they consoled each other and warmed up.

His eyes were red and his thin body was trembling slightly. Although he tried his best to appear calm, the heavy breathing still revealed the excitement in his heart.

In the crowd, Gu Jinyu held onto Jiuniang's hand and stood there quietly.

Although he couldn't see it, his gaze was still on the girl beside him.

This was his sister, his family, the people he depended on.

His palms were moist, as wet as his heart. This was the first time he heard such a thing, and also the first time someone protected him like this. He had always understood that he was different from others. He could not see with his own eyes, so he could only work even harder. Whenever others practiced, he practiced ten or a hundred times. But as time passed, as he grew up, his heart began to feel anxious. He felt confident that his knowledge would not lose to anyone else's ? However ? However, just as these people had said, from past generations, there had never been a blind person to take the Elementary Scholar examination ?

But... However, her words were like a clap of thunder in the spring, waking her up.

"I will not let you down."

His jade-like fingers brushed against the mask on Jiuniang's face lightly. Gu Jinyu smiled as his lips curled up, and his black and white pupils sparkled.

Jiuniang nodded her head blankly. At this moment, she did not hesitate to believe that Gu Jinyu could do it, he definitely could do it.

Her heart felt sour, as if she couldn't say it. She didn't dare to open her mouth, afraid that tears would roll down her face the moment she opened her mouth. She could only tightly hold onto his hand.

The surrounding people were also attracted by his radiant smile. The surrounding people were so quiet that even the wind could be heard. Even the students who had mocked him earlier lowered their heads ?

"Hahaha ?" Hahaha, this is so funny ? You guys are crazy, hahaha... She actually believed that a blind person could become an Elementary Scholar ? "Hahaha ?"

A sudden hiss broke the silence in the crowd.

All of a sudden, everyone snapped out of their daze. They looked at each other, and their faces darkened.

Unfriendly gazes fell on Gu Jinyu and Jiuniang one by one. No matter what, they did not want to admit it ? Just now ? For a moment, they really felt like Gu Jinyu had passed the examination ?

"You ?"

Although Gu Jinyu could not see it, his hearing was very good. When he heard it, he knew it was the person who had looked for trouble previously, and his face slightly changed, but before he could say anything, Jiuniang lightly said: "Let me!"

Taking a deep breath, Jiuniang slowly advanced through the crowd and walked in front of the young man in embroidered clothes.

Her clear eyes stared at him fearlessly. She could only see that he was about ten years old. His head was white and his eyes were clear. He didn't seem like a sinister person. However, her eyes flashed with a mischievous light ?

Naughty!

There was nothing wrong with being mischievous at an age where cats were detested by dogs. It was just that his mischievous behavior of hurting others was unforgivable.

And the person he hurt just so happened to be someone he cared about ?

Jiuniang did not stop, she walked to his side and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "You do not need to worry about whether my brother can become an Elementary Scholar, but I know that you will definitely not be able to pass!

At the same time, he used his finger to quickly press down on Tang Wulin's rib cage. Then, as if nothing had happened, he continued to walk forward. After taking a few steps, he turned around and waved his hand with a smile, "Big brother, I'm leaving. You should go home earlier."

Her speed was so fast that even the green-clad errand boy beside her did not notice.

Hearing Jiuniang's words, the silk-robed youth was instantly enraged and jumped three feet into the air. She pointed at Jiuniang's back and roared, "Nonsense! You're talking nonsense! You're the one who ? "Puff ?"

Before the boy could finish his words, his throat tightened and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
