Qi Shaorong stayed in the library, watching Zhuang Hao and Zhuang Ling walk in together.

"Zhuang Ling." Qi Shaorong whispered softly.

Zhuang Ling looked at Qi Shaorong, a little surprised: "Fourth Master Qi, have you seen me?"

Qi Shaorong shook his head and said: "Oh, no, I've only heard of you from the evil doctor, I've seen your image by chance." Qi Shaorong tightened his fingers and thought: I was careless, the Evil Doctor and Zhuang Ling were acquaintances but it was the first time he and Zhuang Ling had met.

Zhuang Ling's gaze settled on Qi Shaorong, her eyes flashed a little.

"That's right! I thought Fourth Master Qi knew me." Zhuang Ling smiled.

"Miss Zhuang, what are you doing at the Academy?" Qi Shaorong asked.

"This year, I will be the maester of the History Department of the Academy, if, Fourth Master Qi you take my class, we will have many opportunities to meet in the future." Zhuang Ling said.

Qi Shaorong said with a nod: "So that's how it is, my apologies, Maester Zhuang Ling."

"Fourth Master Qi, I have something to ask you." Zhuang Hao said in a straightforward manner.

Qi Shaorong looked at the back of Zhuang Hao's hand and said: "Young Master Zhuang, you're hurt!"

Zhuang Hao withdrew his hand and said: "It's nothing, I came to find out where the evil doctor is."

Qi Shaorong looked at Zhuang Hao and said helplessly: "The evil doctor, his ambition is the world, he does as he pleases, where he wants to go, where exactly he has gone, I don't know!"

Zhuang Hao looked at Qi Shaorong and said: "Then how do you know, he went to the brothel house?"

"Everywhere the evil doctor goes, he has to go to the brothel house, its what men do, they all do, Master Zhuang, what do you think?"

"I don't think so."

Qi Shaorong looked at Zhuang Hao and said: "That's why, A-Xie said Master Zhuang you are still young and immature."

"I'll leave now." Zhuang Hao stood up and said angrily.

Qi Shaorong said with a nod: "Master Zhuang, take care."

......

Zhuang Ling sat opposite Qi Shaorong, cocked her head, looked at Qi Shaorong who said, "Maester Zhuang Ling, Zhuang Hao is gone."

"If he's gone, he's gone, maybe we can talk." Zhuang Ling said while staring at Qi Shaorong.

"Maester Zhuang Ling is there anything I can tell you?" Qi Shaorong bowed his head slightly, rubbing the pages of the book in his hands.

Zhuang Ling said with a smile: "Fourth Master Qi, do you think, you and the evil doctor are alike?"

Qi Shaorong said with a smile: "I guess we're not very similar except for the fact that we both like to visit brothel houses."

Zhuang Ling shook her head and said: "Master Qi, you're wrong about that, I've been taking elixirs since I was a child, I've been taking a lot of them and I'm very sensitive to the smell of them, Student Qi, did you know that? You have a faint smell of medicine, exactly like the evil doctor."

Qi Shaorong said with a smile: "Miss Zhuang, you are wrong, it is not a medicinal smell, it is a perfume, a perfume that both the Evil Doctor and I use, so, it smells the same this is not surprising."

Zhuang Ling said with a smile: "It's not strange, it's just a similar smell, I heard, Master Qi and the Evil Doctor have been lying in the same bed, I wonder, do you lie in the same bed every day, where you sleep, the Evil Doctor sleeps."

Qi Shaorong bowed his head, smiled subtly and said: "Maester Zhuang Ling, you are so joking, the Evil Doctor has so many followers, how could I be lucky enough to share a bed with him every day!"

"Don't flatter yourself, Master Qi, you have a lot of charms, Master Qi, what do you think about Zhuang Hao?" Zhuang Ling asked tentatively.

"Silly, he went to his ex-fiancée to ask about someone else's whereabouts, he's not a good guy and even if I don't hate him for withdrawing but he's always in front of me, I'm not afraid of him." Qi Shaorong said sarcastically.

Zhuang Ling said with a nod: "Isn't that silly? He's reckless, he doesn't think, he's careless but in fact, he's a good kid, Qi, don't you think?"

Qi Shaorong said: "Of course, I grew up listening to Zhuang Hao's exploits, that's a great name! Master Zhuang, if he wasn't good, my Fifth Sister and the lady from the Yi family, wouldn't be running after him..."

Zhuang Ling said with laughter: "A-Hao had been aloof since he was a boy, there were many chasers in the imperial capital but he didn't want anyone and, when he did see one, he didn't take him seriously, he left without saying a word."

Qi Shaorong said with laughter: "Zhuang Hao is a young man, in a few days, he will stop his wistful crush, it is inevitable to be young and foolish."

"Student Qi, seems to be a bit younger than A-Hao, you speak like the evil doctor, so old fashioned." Zhuang Ling teased.

Qi Shaorong said with laughter: "I was out of line."

"Qi Shaorong, it's not what they say! A-Hao's marriage withdrawal is perhaps the worst thing he's ever done in his life." Zhuang Ling said.

Qi Shaorong said with a smile: "Maester Zhuang is joking, Zhuang Hao is so good, there are better people waiting for him."

"Student Qi, I have things to do, I'll leave you now, if you see the evil doctor, give him my regards." Zhuang Ling said.

Qi Shaorong said with a nod: "Of course, Maester Zhuang Ling, you won't say those words to Zhuang Hao, will you."

Zhuang Ling said with a smile: "Don't worry, you youngsters, I won't interfere."

Qi Shaorong smiled and watched Zhuang Ling leave.
