Chapter 697: 328 Fight for Favor (Two updates)

At the hour of You, both the Guozijian and Qinghe Academy had finished courses.

Gu Xiaoshun had gone to Nanxiang to learn skills from Master Lu, and Gu Yan, citing physical discomfort, had asked for a leave.

He, of course, wasn't really feeling unwell; he had deliberately asked for leave in order to carry out a plan of the Anti-Brother-In-Law Justice League he had formed with the young monk.

"Why hasn't the little monk come back yet?" Gu Yan paced back and forth in the courtyard.

Lady Yao asked with amusement, "Aren't you feeling sick anymore?"

Gu Yan coughed lightly, "I ... I feel much better after some fresh air."

Lady Yao knew that he was intentionally skipping school but didn't say anything considering his health conditions.

As the month progressed, Lady Yao was sweating profusely despite Gu Yan not feeling hot, so she went back to her room for a bath.

Gu Yan waited anxiously at the door, it felt like forever before he finally saw the little monk return.
