Xiao Yurong was serious. Xie Qiao was trying to hide her identity, “My master is traveling all over the world. I don’t know where he is.”
She smiled politely.
Xiao Yurong was even more disappointed.
However, he did not show it on his face. He remembered that he still had to play chess with the Crown Prince, so he left in a hurry.
The other people in the Orchid Courtyard looked at Xie Qiao with mixed feelings.
It was Xiao Yurong!
They wanted to take Xie Qiao as a disciple, but she refused?!
They could not help but feel a bit of respect toward her.
Master Li’s eldest disciple had always been secretive. Only his second disciple, Xiao Yurong, was famous. He was obsessed with academics and was really a nerd. Those who could be praised or acknowledged by him must have great literary talent.
Xie Qiao being praised by him meant that even the people from the Peony Courtyard could not compare to her talent!
Who said that the people from the Orchid Courtyard were inferior to the Peony Courtyard?!
Was Xie Qiao not continuously inflicting heavy damage on the Peony Courtyard? A few years ago, Dong Shiyun had asked Master Xiao to comment on her poems. In the end, Master Xiao commented that it was nonsense!
However, Xie Qiao was different!
It could be said that at that moment, Xie Qiao ignited everyone’s fighting spirit.
Xie Qiao’s body was weak and short-lived, but she was able to practice such an experienced paint technique. As for them, their bodies were healthy. Why could they not work hard and suppress those who looked down on them?!
Many people’s mentality had changed.
And today, they had also agreed to go to Xie Qiao’s residence to review their homework.
Now, they were even more serious.
Xie Qiao was so amazing. If they did not pay enough attention to their homework, in comparison, they would feel ashamed of themselves.
So after school, the young ladies who went to Xie Qiao’s residence became very serious. They carefully selected a course, and everyone learned from each other.
The Xie Residence had never entertained so many guests, and the steward could not help but feel proud.
The first young lady was still the best!
Unlike the old master and the first young master, who were extremely unpopular, they did not even dare to come over, let alone guests!
In order to entertain these guests well, the steward called Chun Er, who was beside Xie Qiao, over. In the kitchen, they carefully curated and made many exquisite desserts.
Fang Muxue and the others were actually prepared to be neglected.
After all, everyone out there said that the Xie family was a den of bandits, so there should not be any way that they would treat the guests.
However, when they entered, they realized that it was completely different from what people out there said.
In fact, the Xie Residence was actually better than their own residence.
Each of the guards had their own duties. Each of them looked mighty and majestic, and they felt very safe. They did not have to worry about bandits entering the residence. The maidservant was also very obedient and treated all the guests with the same respect. The steward was warm, he served tea and desserts. Everything was taken into consideration.
If the bandits’ lair looked like this, they would probably want to be captured into the mountain stronghold.
What they liked even more was Xie Qiao’s way of teaching.
There were many things that they did not understand. However, whenever they asked Xie Qiao for advice, she could almost grasp the whole idea. She explained the questions clearly, and it made them feel as if the fog had been cleared up, their minds instantly becoming much clearer.
Almost everyone liked the feeling of coming to the Xie Residence.
It was relaxing, pleasant, and even rewarding.
However, Xie Qiao could not spare time to tutor them every evening. So in the end, they discussed with each other. Before the next big examination, they would gather in the afternoon every seven days. If there were any questions on weekdays, they would solve them in the academy.
