Quick Transmigration: Pangu is Actually My Brother

Chapter 336 Liang Zhu (7)

Seeing Wangyou's self-righteous attitude, Qingzhu was dumbfounded. You're already walking out, yet your gaze is still veiled.

"They are human traffickers, they want to kidnap me, you have to protect me." Wangyou hid behind Ma Wencai and demanded righteously.

“Okay, I’ll protect you.” Ma Wencai suppressed a laugh and pulled the person hiding behind him out. “Then I’ll take you home.”

“Okay.” Wangyou stretched out a hand and obediently let Ma Wencai hold it. Qingzhu and Ma Tong followed far behind. If they got too close, Wangyou would mistake them for human traffickers.

They arrived at the foot of the mountain peacefully, and just as they were about to climb up, Wangyou stopped moving.

"Why did you stop? We're almost home."

"I'm tired, my feet hurt, carry me on your back." Wangyou looked at Ma Wencai with a pitiful expression.

Feeling helpless under that gaze, Ma Wencai could only resign himself to squatting down and carrying the person on his back.

"You're so kind, thank you." Wangyou leaned on Ma Wencai's back and thanked him earnestly.

"If you want to thank me, tell me who you are, okay?" Under the cover of night, Ma Wencai's voice was exceptionally gentle, coaxing the person on his back to reveal her identity. Qingzhu's behavior was simply too suspicious.

"I...I am the little princess of the Xie family!" Wangyou said in a slightly slurred voice.

Ma Wencai was so startled by these words that he stumbled, only to be met with Wangyou tightly wrapping her arms around his neck, almost choking him to death.

"Let go, let go, I'm about to suffocate."

"I'm sorry, you can't put me down. I don't want to walk, I'm so tired." Wangyou loosened her grip on Ma Wencai's throat, but only to let him breathe, as if she was afraid he would abandon her.

"I didn't mean to let you go, I just tripped over a stone." Perhaps sensing the unease in Wangyou's tone, Ma Wencai wasn't angry, but spoke with exceptional gentleness.

"I'm so sleepy." He had just muttered this when, a second later, Ma Wencai felt a weight on his back and realized he had fallen asleep.

"The Xie family's little princess, how interesting." Ma Wencai sent people to Chen County to investigate Wangyou, but both the Xie family members and the people of Chen County said that the Xie family had three sons, so he did not doubt Wangyou's identity.

However, Qingzhu's behavior tonight aroused his suspicion. Under his coaxing, he got a different answer. He never expected that Wangyou was actually a girl. But he was really happy when he heard it. He was even prepared to become a homosexual.

Unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better, and fate was kind to him. However, with the Xie family protecting their little princess so closely, it would be extremely difficult for him to marry her. But so what? He would never let go.

Noticing that Wangyou's head was tilted to the side, Qingzhu followed lightly. "Young Master Ma, my young master is asleep. Let me carry her on my back."

"No need, he just fell asleep. If you take him, he'll probably wake up again. It's better not to disturb him," Ma Wencai said righteously.

"Thank you, Young Master Ma. Did my young master say anything he shouldn't have?" Qingzhu asked nervously.

"No, but she really can't drink anymore. One glass and she's out. Any good-looking person could easily steal her away," Ma Wencai said without changing his expression.

"Yes, yes, the master and madam strictly forbid the young master from drinking. I guess he drank this time because he wanted to make you happy, Young Master Ma."

"I know, let's go." Ma Wencai steadily carried Wangyou on his back and strode towards the academy.

Qingzhu was stunned. Young Master Ma's expression didn't seem to indicate that he knew anything. She hoped he really hadn't said anything.

With a mix of trepidation and excitement, Qingzhu followed Ma Wencai's footsteps, and the group quickly returned to the academy.

Qingzhu fetched water for Wangyou to wash up, then cooked a hangover soup and coaxed Wangyou to eat it. After that, Qingzhu was chased away by Ma Wencai.

Looking at the person sleeping soundly with their little mouth smacking, Ma Wencai sat on the edge of the bed, his eyes filled with darkness.

When Wangyou woke up the next day, she had a slight headache, but she felt much better after washing her face and brushing her teeth.

Looking at the bouncy and carefree Wangyou in front of you, and then thinking about Xie Daoyun whose every move seems to have been measured with a ruler, it's hard to imagine that the two are a family.

"Ma Wencai, what are you thinking about? I've been calling you for ages," Wangyou said, looking up. This man was so tall, a head and a half taller than her.

"Why are you so tall? My neck is so sore." Wangyou stopped looking up and ran off on her own.

"Next time, I'll squat down if you say something, okay?" Ma Wencai muttered, watching Wangyou's back, but still followed her.

After class, the teacher announced two pieces of news. One was that someone on the list of top students had been tested, but now someone needed to be sent down the mountain to find Mr. Wuliu to give them lessons.

Those who go to see Mr. Wu Liu will most likely not get to see the examiner, meaning they will miss an opportunity to gain face in front of adults.

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other. They all knew they had come to Nishan Academy for a reason, and naturally, no one wanted to miss this opportunity.

“I, I’ll go,” Zhu Yingtai said, raising her hand. She had been trying to avoid Liang Shanbo lately.

"Then I'll go too." When Liang Shanbo saw Zhu Yingtai raise her hand, he had to support his good brother.

"I'll go too." Wangyou wanted to go out and have fun; finding Mr. Wuliu was just a side thing.

“Then I’ll go too.” Ma Wencai raised his hand.

"Where are you going? I'm going out to play. You should take this opportunity to show your face in front of that important person. It'll be good," Wangyou said, puzzled.

“It happens every year, not just this year. I’ll go with you.” After saying that, Ma Wencai said, “I’ll go with Xie Wangyou. As for Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, let’s leave them here.”

When Master Chen saw the two men's request, he thought about it and agreed.

Seeing this, Zhu Yingtai could only return home dejectedly.

However, Master Chen also said that to compensate them, he would give them extra credits.

Wangyou and Ma Wencai packed their things, and then, together with Qingzhu and Ma Tong, they happily went down the mountain to play—no, to find Mr. Wuliu.

"Tao Yuanming, the Mr. Five Willows, seems to have had a relationship with his teacher's wife, perhaps they were like fellow students. However, since he had already retired from public life, would he still be willing to come out of seclusion?"

"It's all up to us; we'll just do our best."

"But where could Tao Yuanming be?" Finding someone who doesn't even have a portrait is like looking for a needle in a haystack, because even if someone walks right past them, they wouldn't recognize them.

"Why don't we offer a hefty reward to find someone? I refuse to believe we don't know him," Ma Wencai said with a smile.

"That's one way. Even if nobody knows him, he might just come out on his own." Wangyou thought that everyone has a desire to watch the show, and Tao Yuanming was probably no exception.

So Ma Wencai found a piece of cloth and wrote on it: "A reward of one hundred taels of gold will be given to anyone who knows the whereabouts of Mr. Wuliu."

Who doesn't love gold? So, before long, a crowd gathered in front of the four of them, but they were all just there to watch the spectacle.

"You're looking for Mr. Five Willows, what are his characteristics?" someone asked loudly.

“We don’t seem to know either.” Wangyou muttered to herself, then suddenly had a flash of inspiration, “Whoever can come up with the next line after ‘Picking chrysanthemums by the eastern fence’ might be Mr. Wuliu, or someone we know.”
