"What's a travel pass?" Little Jing Kong asked sleepily.

"It's a kind of document that allows you to go to other places. We had travel passes when we came to the capital. Don't you remember?"

"Oh." Little Jing Kong sat on Gu Jiao's lap, his small head resting against her chest.

Considering the blow Gu Yan's situation had on the little guy, Xiao Heng restrained the urge to pull him away from Gu Jiao's embrace.

Suddenly, Xiao Heng thought of something and said, "Jing Kong, do you have a travel pass to the State of Yan?"

Upon hearing this, both Lady Nan and Master Lu were dumbfounded.

What kind of question was that? How could a child possibly have a travel pass to the State of Yan?

But Gu Jiao blinked.

Right, she almost forgot that this little guy was quite the tycoon. He even had the deed to a State of Liang’s house!

Little Jing Kong rubbed his sleepy eyes, thought for a moment, and shook his head, "No."

Xiao Heng asked seriously, "Is it no for real or no as in you don’t recall? Think again."

Almost falling asleep in Gu Jiao's arms, Little Jing Kong murmured, "No... I don't have a travel pass to the State of Yan... Master didn't give it to me."

Xiao Heng and Gu Jiao sighed simultaneously.

"There’s only that thing." Little Jing Kong mumbled as he dozed off.

Gu Jiao's eyes lit up. "What thing?"

"That... That..." Little Jing Kong drooled a bit, trying hard to keep his eyes open in Gu Jiao's embrace. "Box... box..."

"What is he saying?" Xiao Heng asked.

Gu Jiao listened closely and after a while, she said to Xiao Heng, "It seems he's talking about a box... When Gu Changqing returned to the capital last time, he brought Little Jing Kong a box! It's about this big, with a lotus flower engraved on it."

Xiao Heng entered the west room and rummaged through Little Jing Kong's pile of junk to find a small lotus box.

"Is this it?" Gu Jiao took the box and asked Little Jing Kong.

Little Jing Kong was almost unable to keep his eyes open, his eyelids were hurting from the battle.

"Um..." He nodded drowsily.

"Can I open it to see what’s inside?" Gu Jiao asked.

"Give... I’m giving it to JiaoJiao." He was almost half asleep, but still remembered that whatever JiaoJiao liked was all given to JiaoJiao, and he belonged to JiaoJiao too.

Gu Jiao handed the box to Xiao Heng, signaling him to open it.

After Xiao Heng opened it, everyone present was dumbfounded.

Lady Nan even trembled slightly, seriously suspecting she was dreaming.

Where on earth did they pick up this little monk?

Why did he have an admission letter for the Imperial Academy of the State of Yan?!

Tianqiong Academy, one of the four century-old academies in the State of Yan, was deservedly known as an imperial academy because it had produced three empresses and two sovereigns.

There were four admission letters in the box, one for each male member of the family.

Lady Nan was completely baffled. Did your relative open Tianqiong Academy?

Gu Jiao, who had been startled many times, quickly calmed down. She asked the little guy in her arms, "Jing Kong, why didn't you say you had this earlier?"

Jing Kong was almost asleep, murmuring, "I... I don't want to go to school... Don't want..."

It seemed that the gift that time wasn't from the abbot, but from Little Jing Kong's master.

Gu Jiao became even more curious about the white-bearded old monk. If there was a chance, she really wanted to go and meet him.

The admission letter from Tianqiong Academy was the best travel pass. With it, their plan to go to the State of Yan was half successful.

Gu Jiao was packing things in the east room when Xiao Heng pushed the door open and held out his admission letter, which had his name written on it, "I looked for it, but couldn't find yours."

Gu Jiao was a woman and had never studied. Jing Kong's master probably knew about this, so he didn't prepare hers.

Gu Jiao stopped packing and poured him a cup of hot tea, "Have some tea."

Xiao Heng took it and drank two sips, feeling warm in his stomach, "But I asked Lady Nan, and she said wives could go too."

As Gu Jiao continued folding clothes, she suddenly said, "No need."

Xiao Heng was surprised, even his action of drinking tea paused, "You don't want to go?"

Gu Jiao turned around and looked at him calmly, "I'll go, but I don't need you to take me."

Xiao Heng furrowed his brows in confusion, "Then how do you plan——"

Before he could finish his sentence, Xiao Heng suddenly felt dizzy, and the cup in his hand fell while he fell forward.

Gu Jiao caught the cup firmly with one hand and steadied him with the other.

Xiao Heng looked at her with blurred vision, "You..."

"You going to the State of Yan is too dangerous, so I've decided——" Gu Jiao put down the teacup and took the document from his hand, "to go by myself."

Xiao Heng gritted his teeth weakly, Gu! Jiao!

Xiao Heng passed out completely in Gu Jiao's arms.

……

Gu Jiao's medicine was potent. Three days later, Xiao Heng woke up to find a little figure in the Imperial Academy uniform squatting on the floor beside his bed, drawing circles.

"Ugh..." Xiao Heng struggled to sit up.

The little figure heard the movement and looked up, dropping the twig in his hand, looking at him reproachfully, "You finally woke up?"

Xiao Heng looked at Little Jing Kong, then at the door, "Where's JiaoJiao?"

Little Jing Kong stomped his foot and grumbled, "Gone! It's all your fault! JiaoJiao didn't take me because I had to take care of you! Because of you, I got left behind too!"

JiaoJiao just didn't want to take you, okay?

A little kid like you will simply get in the way. Gu Jiao still has to take care of the sick. How could she have time to take care of you too?

Out of conscience, Xiao Heng didn't reveal the harsh truth.

Besides, he thought Gu Jiao might also want to avenge Gu Yan, so he couldn't take Jing Kong. It was too dangerous.

"Did she go to the State of Yan alone?" Xiao Heng actually wanted to ask if Lady Nan went with her.

Little Jing Kong didn't catch his meaning and sourly said according to his own understanding, "Brother Xiaoshun went too!"

What?!

She took Gu Xiaoshun but not him!

Now he was really angry!

"You, do you want to go find JiaoJiao?" Little Jing Kong asked, pouting.

Xiao Heng's anger stalled upon hearing this, "What do you mean? Oh, right, you also have an admission letter. But besides husband and wife, only blood relatives can go."

Little Jing Kong puffed up his little chest, "As long as you promise to take me, I can find a way for you to go."

Xiao Heng looked at him skeptically, "Alright, I promise."

Little Jing Kong wasn't easily fooled, "You have to swear, that if you lie to me, JiaoJiao will find me a new brother-in-law in the State of Yan!"

This little guy was too cunning!

But the temptation to go find Gu Jiao was too strong, so Xiao Heng still agreed to him.

Little Jing Kong then dashed to his trunk, rummaged through his pile of junk, and finally took out a small golden box, handing it to Xiao Heng, "Here."

Xiao Heng opened the box and saw another admission letter from the State of Yan inside.

After being unlucky for so long, he finally had a stroke of luck!

Xiao Heng's eyes lit up, but as he read further, his expression suddenly darkened.

The letter was written with black ink on white paper——Canglan Women's Academy.

Xiao Heng: "..."

PLEASE CHECK OUT OUR NEW PROJECT:

Description:

In the suspenseful supernatural novel “Records of Mortals,” Jiang Baiyan, once a solitary and impoverished youth, finds refuge in the Shi family of Chang’an due to his extraordinary bloodline. With his clear and captivating peach blossom eyes, this seemingly innocent young man conceals a fanatical and malevolent lunatic within. Destined to succumb to darkness amidst hardship and degradation, he becomes a harbinger of chaos.

When Shi Dai suddenly transmigrates, she takes on the role of the Shi family’s young lady, the one who subjects him to countless trials, eventually leading to her demise.

The twist? She never got to finish reading the novel.

From what she knew of the plot, Jiang Baiyan was just a silent, timid, and often bullied pitiable character.

***

Jiang Baiyan had never encountered someone like Shi Dai.

After he had slaughtered all the evil creatures in the garden, the blood-stained young man, exuding a murderous aura, approached her step by step, his lips curling into a malicious smile, "Scared?"

Shi Dai responded, “You’re really amazing! I applaud you until I spin like a spiral and fly around the moon three hundred times! And also——you have dimples when you smile!"

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

After seeing her at a lantern festival with another man, Jiang Baiyan lowered his eyes, his fingers twirling her hair. He said in a mocking and sinister tone, "The mansion in the western suburbs...if I hide you there, no one will find you, right?"

Shi Dai replied, "Does it come with meals and lodging? Can I sleep in everyday? Oh, and your cooking is the best!"

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

Jiang Baiyan was supposed to dislike her, even hate her, but as their separation drew near, his eyes turned red and he grabbed her sleeve, pleading, "Don't abandon me, alri—”

Shi Dai responded, "Alright, alright, I’ll only have you. Mwah."

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

He hasn't finished his lines yet though…
