Yuan Zhongxin asked Yu Shujiu if there were any special rumors in the academy, so he learned that the rumors in the academy should not leave the fasting house casually after nightfall, and ignore anyone knocking on the door. Yu Shujiao took them to the arranged house, Xue Ying checked up and down, and Yu Shujiao said that he would come to take Wei Yuan to class tomorrow. As soon as Wei Yuan heard about the class, he was one head and two older. Yuan Zhongxin protected him and tried to pretend to be sick, which made Zhao Jian so angry that he was half dead. Xue Ying couldn't help sighing that they were indeed like a family of three.
Pei Jing went to find Wang Kuan after nightfall, and Wang Kuan told her that he had seen the swordsman, but he never appeared again. This academy is weird, as soon as the sun goes down, there are no students in the yard, and everyone defaults to not going out at night, Pei Jing is a little scared holding Wang Kuan's arm.
When Wang Kuan and Pei Jing came to the Zhaishe, they saw that Wei Yuan was going to pour cold water on himself to pretend to be sick, while Yuan Zhongxin was pinching Zhao Jian's waist and beating his back. Wang Kuan told everyone that he saw the swordsman, and Wei Yuan opened the door when he heard someone knocking on the door in the yard. The person who came was a handyman in the academy, and he said he wanted to clean them up, and invited Yuan Zhongxin and Zhao Jian to see some adventure together, but that person didn't seem to expect Yuan Zhongxin to agree.
The two followed the leader, who said that he would introduce them to the real gods in the academy. All the old men in the post house worshiped the gods here, and a man with disabled legs was brought out and said that he recovered after making sacrifices. Faced with their crappy lies, Yuan Zhongxin and Zhao Jian did not expose them, and even enjoyed acting with them, and took a hairpin to watch a play, which was applauded. Zhao Jian and Yuan Zhongxin were interested and said that they would also offer sacrifices, instead of using gold and silver, they would use living people instead of their own sons, so the handyman shouted that it was unnecessary. The sacrifice was not done by the academy, but by Beihexing. Although the man said so, Zhao Jian and Yuan Zhongxin didn't believe it easily. After all, they didn't see him, so it's hard to make a conclusion easily. The two met a mysterious person on the way back, and Yuan Zhongxin couldn't catch up with him. Zhao Jian found a letter on the lantern, signed by Yuan Tianguan.
Wang Kuan sent Pei Jing to the residence arranged by the academy. She pretended to be calm and let Wang Kuan leave, but she was really scared to live here alone. Wang Kuan turned and came back. He knew that Pei Jing was afraid, but she didn't want to hold everyone back. Wang Kuan lit the lamps everywhere in Pei Jing's room, planning to wait for her to fall asleep before leaving. Wang Kuan sat at the table and let Pei Jing sleep peacefully. He could drive away ghosts and gods here, and Pei Jing was very at ease.
Yuan Tianguan's letter asked Yuan Zhongxin to meet at Yuelu Mountain tomorrow, Yuan Zhongxin planned to go with Zhao Jian, Xue Ying and Wei Yuan had to attend class tomorrow. Yuan Zhongxin asked them to tell Wang Kuan and Pei Jing about this, but they planned to pretend to be sick and not go to class tomorrow. Pei Jing wanted to learn how to cook, but the aunt kindly helped her and asked her to help her. The aunt is from the village of Longtou. She said that Bei Hexing is a bad person, and told Pei Jing to be careful. Many people in the academy were bewitched by him.
The next day, Yu Shujue came to find Wei Yuan to go to class. Wei Yuan lay on the bed pretending to be sick and couldn't read, but he still showed a thirst for learning, so Yu Shujue carried him to the lecture without saying a word. Yuan Zhongxin and Zhao Jian went to the agreed place and indeed saw Yuan Tianguan. Yuan Tianguan never regarded him as his son, but Yuan Zhongxin was still nervous when he saw him. Yuan.
