Gu Yanran returned to the house, and sure enough, she saw a letter on the bookcase she had used for the past few days.

Walking to the bookcase, she bent down to pick up the envelope, opened the outer cover, and spread out the letterhead.

On the letterhead, vigorous and powerful handwriting is written, which occupies a full space.

[Gu Yanran personally revealed:

In a hurry, I couldn't say goodbye in person, only a letter.

I have been entangled in important tasks and have left overnight, and the return date is still uncertain.

The appointment of you as Acting Governor is not a whim, but because you are a superior and convincing person, and I hope that you will do your best not to live up to my trust.

Looking for the whereabouts of the second prince, you should rest assured, although I am temporarily away from the imperial city, the mission is still ongoing, but if you find clues, someone will tell you.

In addition, there is a jade whistle in the seal......]

Seeing this, Gu Yanran pinched the bottom of the envelope, and there was indeed a hard thing inside.

Gu Yanran flipped the envelope and poured the jade whistle in it into the palm of her hand.

The jade whistle is made of the superb Hetian jade, the whole body is white and thorough, flawless, it can be called perfect, and it is priceless at a glance.

"Why did you give me this?" Gu Yanran pondered to no avail, and her eyes fell on the letter again.

[In addition, there is a jade whistle in the seal, with which you can drive the dark guards of the Netherworld, and its whistle can summon the closest secret guards to you anytime and anywhere.

The secret guards of the Netherworld Mansion are all over the alleys of the Imperial City, and you are in a worrying situation today, if you encounter a difficult situation......

The predicament in the palace can be shown with the jade seal, and everything can be settled.

As for matters outside the palace, you just blow this whistle, and someone will definitely come forward in time to protect you.

Speaking of this, I will not say more, I hope to meet you again as soon as possible, cherish.

Night Nether]

Gu Yanran finished reading all the contents of the letter, and then looked at the jade whistle held in the palm of her right hand, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.

"This night is too indiscriminate, isn't it?" Gu Yanran only thought that the character of the night nether was extremely good, and even misunderstood his intentions. "I was undoubtedly a stranger to him

Help me, protect me, and even think for me everywhere...... What benefits does he get? ”

Gu Qiqiao came to Gu Yanran with the poured warm tea. "Miss Yan, you said you were thirsty in the carriage just now, hurry up and drink tea to moisten your throat."

"Oh, good." Gu Yanran took the teacup and handed the jade whistle in her hand to Gu Qiqiao. "There is a round hole at the top of the jade whistle, you find a strong red rope to tie it."

"Yes." Gu Qiqiao held the jade whistle in both hands, intending to ask more carefully. "Miss Yan, is this jade whistle to be used as a waist ornament or a necklace?"

She didn't ask Gu Yanran if she wanted to use the jade whistle as a wrist ornament.

Such a big piece of jade, wearing it on the wrist must be awkward and obstructive.

"Necklace, the rope is slightly longer, and the jade whistle hangs best on the chest." Gu Yanran said.

The origin and use of the jade whistle are somewhat special, and it is always difficult to wear it in a conspicuous place, which is too ostentatious.

Moreover, if the jade whistle is accidentally lost...... It is good to be picked up by money-grubbers, at most they are sold to pawnshops for a good sum of gold and silver.

But once it falls into the hands of people with ill intentions, the consequences are unimaginable.

###转眼间, nine days later, the day before the Academy Challenge.

In the entire imperial city, the streets of the past, which used to be quite wide, were slightly crowded due to the large influx of people.

In fact, there are not many universities participating in the challenge, only about 30, and the total number of participants is 127.

A hundred or so people, to be honest, are not enough to fill the streets and alleys of the entire Yeyu country.

Today's crowds of people are all due to the fame of the 'School Challenge'.

Every year, the Academy Challenge attracts many lovers of the Four Arts, and this one is no exception.

The location in the center of the imperial city was originally an intersection extending in all directions, and it was also the largest fork in the imperial city.

In just a few days, five high platforms were erected on the ground at the junction, four of which were circular and one of which were square.

The four high platforms in the circle, the same size, should be used as a ring for the competition of the four arts.

The square platform is the size of two circular platforms, and a beige cloth canopy is erected at the top to shelter from the sun and rain, which is the seat of the judges and the administrators of each prefecture.

Gu Yanran was on the third floor of the tea shop near the intersection, looking down at the scene below from the window, and couldn't help but sigh. "I've never seen anything like it."

Even her favorite lantern festival in her previous life is not as lively as what she sees in front of her now.

Next to Gu Yanran, stood Gu Haoran and Lin Shangshu.

When Gu Haoran heard Gu Yanran's words, he only glanced sideways slightly. “……”

"Hahaha." Lin Shangshu laughed out loud and raised his hand to pat the top of Gu Yanran's head. "Cousin, cousin, what you said is a bit exaggerated, isn't it?

The most lively time of the year in Yeyu Country is indeed the days when the Academy Challenge is held.

But you've never seen the Imperial City so lively......

When you were nine years old, your brother and I took you to the Academy Challenge, and you couldn't be happier.

Later, at this time of every year, you would pester me and your brother and tell us to take you with us no matter what. ”

Gu Yanran was stunned for a moment, and then explained. "What I just meant was that this year's Academy Challenge is a bit more lively than in previous years."

"Ah~~~" Lin Shangshu suddenly realized. "That's what you mean, I said it earlier, really, I thought you had amnesia."

"Amnesia......" Gu Yanran smiled bitterly suddenly. If only I could lose my memory once, that's not bad. ”

Gu Haoran saw that Gu Yanran was suddenly depressed, and immediately glanced at Lin Shangshu. "You're a worthy topic terminator!"

"What's wrong with me?!!" Lin Shangshu was so innocent that he couldn't do it, but he still looked at Gu Yanran. "This, cousin, it's all my cousin's bad mouth, you just let me fart!"

"Poof." Gu Yanran couldn't help laughing, and was amused by Lin Shangshu. "I didn't say anything, don't be in a hurry to admit your mistake, okay?"

Lin Shangshu was surprised. "Since you're not mad at me, why did you say that you want to lose your memory?"

"Hmm......" Gu Yanran hesitated for a moment, and then she had the words to deal with it in her heart. Recently, because of the school challenge, there is a lot of pressure, so I want to forget some things a little. ”

"School Challenge?" Gu Haoran tilted his head. "I think you shouldn't be able to participate in the Academy Challenge, right? How can there be pressure? ”

Gu Yanran looked at Gu Haoran's gaze, and a smile appeared in her eyes. "Oh, there's something I seem to have forgotten to tell you......

In this year's University Challenge, I will sit on the judging bench as the 'Acting Governor of Shangheng Academy' and the 'External Bachelor of Hallym Academy'. ”
