Chapter 154 Seeing Su Qingyue’s true appearance for the first time

Not far from the backyard of Wutong Academy, there is an Acacia Lake.

There is nothing strange about the lake. It is just that living water flows in and flows out from a gap in the lake, forming a stream that winds out of the academy.

The lake is about an acre in size, the lake is wide, and the water is not too clear.

Most of the lotus flowers were planted in the lake. Fish turned to the bottom and rolled up the mud, turning the lake water yellow.

Lotus leaves are spread out one after another in the lake.

Early summer has just passed, and the lotus blooming season has not yet come. Only occasionally one or two buds jump out of the water and stick to the sky, waiting for the opportunity to bloom.

There is an octagonal pavilion by the lake, which is quite wide. In addition to the pavilion corridor, there is a stone table and four surrounding stone stools in the middle.

It was evening, the sun was setting, and the yellow light from the lake reflected on the pavilion, making the entire pavilion shine.

From time to time, maids would come in and out of the pavilion, bringing some food back and forth.

There are exquisite seasonal fruits, meat and vegetable dishes with suitable combinations, and fine wines.

The side with the back to the lake is the main seat, and the two sides next to it are the secondary seats, with a pair of bowls and chopsticks placed on each side.

From the looks of it, there will be three people having a feast here.

Not far away, several male and female students saw the maid busy at work and couldn't help but be curious:

"Brother Li, what are you doing over there? Someone wants to eat and drink in the Xiangsi Pavilion? Isn't the Xiangsi Pavilion usually only used by the dean? We want to enjoy the scenery of Xiangsi Lake, and we can also use the pavilions in the distance to cool down."

"So, it must be the dean who wants to entertain guests!"

"That's strange. There aren't many people worthy of being received by the dean in person in recent years, right?"

"You are not as well-informed as I am! It is said that Dean Tao is hosting a banquet for a policeman this time."

"Is it the policeman who sent Junior Sister Qingyue back?" One of the students thought of something.

"Have you heard about it too?"

"I'm not blind or deaf, so what's so strange about hearing about him? Early this morning, most of Qing City was spreading the news that a policeman had destroyed the Cheng family's four-elephant battle formation!"

"Hey, Brother Chen, aren't you deaf to what's going on outside the window and only focus on reading the books of sages? Now you also like to inquire about the fights and killings of people in the world?"

"Isn't it useful if I don't want to hear it? Everyone is spreading it! Besides, our Wutong Academy has always made no distinction between the civilized and the martial arts, and those who study do not despise those who practice martial arts."

"I don't dare! Dean Tao is a martial arts master. If you dare to say a word, she can make you live but not die!"

"Shhh! Speaking of this, how about we watch here? If Dean Tao hears it..."

"Then why are you still standing there? Hurry up and leave!"

"Let's go!"

"Brother Li, wait for me, let's go together, go together!"

Soon, the students near Xiangsi Pavilion dispersed, as if their dean was an untouchable taboo and even looking at him was a sin.

At this time, Chu Tang, who had just changed into regular clothes and walked by, heard everything and saw everything.

"Is this dean named Tao very scary?" Chu Tang had such a thought in his mind.

No matter what!

He is here to eat, and the other person is not his teacher, so what is he afraid of!

Tightening the magic weapon Yitian in his hand, Chu Tang became more confident.

He is also very curious about this female courtyard, otherwise he would not have come to this dinner alone.

After asking around all the way, we came to the Xiangsi Pavilion next to Xiangsi Lake.

The stone tables in the pavilion are filled with delicacies.

It’s just that the real owner hasn’t arrived yet.

Except for a maid standing nearby to greet him, there was no one else.

The maid invited Chu Tang to sit in the pavilion first. He was not rude to this extent. He politely declined the other party's kindness and stood by the pavilion to enjoy the scenery.

The lotus leaves in the lake are stacked in layers, like umbrellas and covers, and everything you look at is a thin layer of green.

When the hot evening breeze blows in summer, you can still smell the faint smell of green lotus leaves.

The setting sun still hung stubbornly on the mountain col in the west, trying its best to emit the last ray of afterglow, which slanted on the river, reflecting a fiery red light.

An incense with a light sandalwood scent was lit in the pavilion, and the blue-gray smoke curled up, which was refreshing and refreshing.

In addition, the incense seems to have the effect of repelling mosquitoes and insects. It lingers around the entire pavilion, and the many insects in summer dare not approach at all.

By the lake, in the pavilion, there are fine wines, delicacies, and maids to serve you.

This situation, Chu Tang felt, was not the behavior of a college dean, but the enjoyment of a troubled young man who knew how to enjoy himself.

While Chu Tang was lost in thought, he suddenly heard the sound of pounding footsteps coming from outside the pavilion. He turned around and saw two beautiful women coming into view.

One is older and the other is younger.

The eldest one looks to be in his thirties, dressed in pure white clothes, with his hair pulled back, all dressed up like a woman from the world.

She has an excellent appearance, fair and supple skin, and a red cloud in her white skin. She is a complete beauty.

In addition, she looks very handsome. Her eyebrows are not the curved eyebrows of ordinary women, but are thin and straight, slightly slanting towards the temples, giving her a heroic appearance.

When she walked over, Chu Tang only heard the maid next to her salute her and call out softly: "Dean, everything is ready."

Only then did Chu Tang realize that she should be Tao Ying, the legendary dean of Wutong Academy.

As a woman, she is the dean of this famous academy, and she is considered a legend not only in Qingcheng, but also in Liangzhou.

Tao Ying responded with a hum and continued walking to the pavilion with the other woman.

Only then did Chu Tang have time to look at the younger woman, who was only in her teens.

At first glance, I am immediately amazed!

I saw that she was dressed in a bright yellow female dress, with two slender braids on her hair on the back of her head, and her forehead bangs were slanted on both sides, revealing only three-thirds of her face, but her unparalleled appearance was also visible.

Her brows are like black and white, and her eyebrows are as expressive as if they could speak, and her every frown and smile are so natural; her small cherry lips complement her slightly oval face.

Her skin is a bit paler than Tao Ying's, but it doesn't look like normal whiteness, but rather a sickly paleness.

Chu Tang only felt that she looked familiar. After a few more glances, he immediately understood: "It's her!"

Su Qingyue!

The person who came was none other than Miss Su, whom he had been protecting all the way.

Chu Tang didn't expect to see Su Qingyue's true appearance under such circumstances.

Previously, the other party had been showing off with a veil. He had the urge to lift the other party's veil many times, but unfortunately he was never able to do so.

It's good now, he doesn't have to speak or take action, the other party will take the initiative to reveal his true face to him.

"Very good! Very good!" Chu Tang couldn't help but admire in her heart.

As for what he is boasting about, only he himself knows.

"Boss Chu! I've been waiting for a long time!" As soon as he approached the pavilion, Tao Ying bowed his hands like a martial artist.

Her voice sounds pleasant and crisp.

"Dean Tao! I've admired you for a long time!" Chu Tang also returned the gift.

Somehow, even though it was the first time they met, they looked at each other and smiled like old friends reunited after a long separation.

Tao Ying stretched out her hand to signal Chu Tang to sit down on the stone bench, and finally called to Su Qingyue who was at the edge of the pavilion but had not come in: "Qingyue, come and sit down quickly. You are not a stranger. Are you still shy?"

"I..." Su Qingyue is really a little embarrassed, mainly because she has never seen Chu Tang in her true appearance, and now that we meet here, it feels like seeing someone naked.

"Miss Su!" Chu Tang also said hello to Su Qingyue.

Su Qingyue hummed, then quickly walked to Tao Ying's right side and sat down, facing Chu Tang diagonally.

After sitting down, she raised her head slightly and glanced at Chu Tang. When she saw that he was smiling but not smiling, she quickly lowered her head in annoyance.

Tao Ying looked at the two of them back and forth, only finding it interesting. Finally, he glanced at the weapon Chu Tang casually placed beside the pillar of the pavilion, smiled and said: "Board leader Chu always brings weapons to the banquet. It seems we are the ones doing it."

It’s not enough, I don’t even feel safe in our academy!”

Chu Tang hurriedly explained: "I'm just used to it. I hope Dean Tao won't take offense. I am lucky enough to be entertained by the Dean today. Chu is lucky all his life!"

Tao Ying glanced at Su Qingyue, who was bowing her head in silence, and said, "It seems that Qingyue has told Captain Chu a lot about me along the way."

"I didn't." Su Qingyue said aggrievedly.

She really didn't tell Chu Tang about Tao Ying's situation, but her maid Xiaoyou leaked it from time to time.

Tao Ying ignored her, held up a glass of wine, and said: "Boss Chu, I would like to toast you with this glass of wine. Thank you for your hard work and escorting Qingyue back to our academy."

Saying that, he drank a lot.

When Chu Tang saw this, no matter how scrupulous he was, he could only hold a cup and drink it, and then said: "Prefect Su's order, Mr. Chu is just obeying the order and doing his duty."

Tao Ying sighed: "Your responsibility is not easy. I have heard everything about this journey."
