Although the Ye family is the head of the four major families, it is definitely not comparable to Nanshan College.
Do they actually have such qualifications?
However, after Mo Xiu said that sentence, he seemed to be afraid of something and refused to explain any more. He only said vaguely:
"That happened many years ago."
Jingchuan narrowed his eyes slightly.
Mo Xiu's tone...
"By the way, you seem to have a good relationship with that girl from the Ye family?"
Mo Xiu changed the topic.
When he said this, he looked straight at Jingchuan, with a somewhat complicated expression in his eyes.
Jingchuan's jade-like chin tapped lightly.
Even if he didn't say it, I believe Mo Xiu could tell.
"Why do you suddenly ask this?"
Mo Xiu paused and was silent for a long time before saying:
"It's nothing, it's just...if this girl really wants to completely break up with the Ye family, remember to let her try her best to get back the map."
His speech was very slow and difficult, and his voice became lower and lower.
However, Jingchuan could still hear clearly.
He keenly captured the key word - snatch back.
After thinking for a moment, he asked:
"That map...should belong to her, right?"
Mo Xiu’s pupils shrank!
Seeing his reaction like this, without any words, Jingchuan was sure that he had guessed it right.
But...this is even weirder.
How could such a map belong to Ye Xiyue?
Jingchuan raised his eyes slightly and looked steadily at Mo Xiu.
This respected dean of Nanshan College seemed to have an unusual understanding of the Ye family.
"It's about Xi'er, could you please tell me more."
Jingchuan said softly.
Although the voice was soft, it carried a certain strength that could not be disobeyed.
That's the kind of momentum only those who have been in high positions for many years can have!
Mo Xiu's temples twitched, and under the gaze of those cold phoenix eyes, he felt a bit embarrassed for a moment.
He couldn't help but be secretly shocked.
He had known that this Jingchuan was not simple, but judging from the aura flowing through his body now...it was clearly more unfathomable than he had previously expected!
I don't know who he is...
His hands on his knees shook slightly.
After a while, he took a deep breath and asked:
"I believe you will try your best to protect Xi'er, so it doesn't hurt to tell you about this."
He could see that although the young man in front of him was mysterious and unpredictable, he was completely sincere towards Ye Xiyue.
If he wanted to, let alone the Ye family, even the entire Tianlan might not be able to be saved.
Therefore...his care and concern for Ye Xiyue became even more precious and sincere.
Jingchuan laughed.
"I will protect Xi'er, please tell me."
By this time, he was even more certain that all of this was definitely inseparable from the Ye family.
And Ye Xiyue is from the Ye family after all.
Mo Xiu was silent for a while and then said:
"Actually, to be precise, that map does not belong to her, but to her mother."
Jingchuan's expression slightly condensed.
If I remember correctly, Xi'er's mother had already passed away when she was very young.
Then how...
Seemingly sensing Jingchuan's doubts, Mo Xiu smiled bitterly:
"Didn't you ask just now why the third copy was in Ye's house? It was not a reward from the emperor, but - that thing was drawn by her own hands!"
A look of astonishment instantly flashed across Jingchuan's face.
This "she", you know without asking, refers to Ye Xiyue's mother!
"At the beginning, she drew three copies, keeping one for herself, and the other two were handed over to the palace and Nanshan College respectively. So, to be precise, she is the real owner of these three drawings!"
