Chapter 163: Instructions

Li Yu was stunned, her whole body stiffened.

For some reason, when she heard this, her heart beat wildly, and her brain went blank for a moment.

For the first time, she subconsciously turned her head to stare at Lu Fang.

Lu Fang blinked, a smile curled at the corners of his mouth, and he snapped his fingers, "Is there something on my face?"

As soon as the words fell.

Before Li Yu could react, the carriage slowly bloomed like flower petals, and in a short while, it turned into a large bed with a sea of pink flowers.

Lu Fang sat down directly, hands behind his head, watching the rising sun that had just revealed its head. He patted the only empty spot beside him, signaling Li Yu to sit down as well.

Li Yu fidgeted for a moment, but eventually sat down and looked up at the sunrise, saying sincerely, "Today's sunrise is so beautiful; it feels like a dream."

"Are you hungry?"

Lu Fang looked at Lu Ling and asked with a smile.

Lu Ling shook her head, "Not hungry..."

Before she could finish, Lu Fang snapped his fingers and immediately summoned a cloud, on which were placed petals, a pot of Bodhi fruit wine, and several side dishes.

"Do you like peach blossoms?"

Lu Fang looked at Li Yu with a smile. A peach blossom rain had already fallen from the sky, falling around them. These peach blossoms were very illusory, and in the romantic atmosphere, they didn't affect watching the sunrise.

Li Yu couldn't hold it anymore, covering her mouth and laughing non-stop, "This is truly a special sunrise viewing experience."

"Thank you for liking it."

Lu Fang nodded with satisfaction.

Li Yu sighed with a little happiness, secretly glanced at Lu Fang, and seeing him staring straight at her, she hurriedly moved her eyes away, "I heard you are going to be a special envoy to the Luo Sha Kingdom? When are you going?"

Lu Fang picked up the Bodhi fruit wine, poured two small cups, clinked glasses with her, and drank it in one gulp, "I guess I'll have to set off in these two days. The time is a bit too rushed. If I didn't invite you to watch the sunrise today, I'm afraid it would be a long time before I could see you."

Li Yu drank a cup of wine, consciously ignoring some words, and said seriously, "Little Martial Uncle should indeed be quite busy, not only writing another elegant text but also planning to perform the elegant text 'Dream of the Red Chamber'."

"Plus, you have to spend time learning about things going to the Luo Sha Kingdom."

"Then shouldn't I thank Little Martial Uncle for taking the time out of your busy schedule to accompany me to watch the sunrise?"

Lu Fang blurted out, "Do you want to go to the Luo Sha Kingdom with me? I heard that it's on the edge of an exotic land, and the anomalies are particularly beautiful, even more beautiful than this sunrise."

This invitation was an accident.

Before this, Lu Fang hadn't planned to do so. After all, being an envoy to the Luo Sha Kingdom still carried certain risks, and he was also afraid that Lu Ling would be sad and think too much if she found out.

But there was really no way.

Just a moment ago, he really just wanted to be with Li Yu.

"I don't want to go." Li Yu shook her head, paused, and sighed, "Even if I wanted to go, I couldn't. I already promised before that I would go to the academy exchange, so I shouldn't have time."

Lu Fang breathed a sigh of relief, then suddenly looked at Li Yu and smiled, "You should know my intentions by now, right?"

"What intentions? I don't know."

Li Yu got up and came to the edge of the cloud-like bed, hesitated for a moment, and finally turned back to look at Lu Fang and smiled, "When you return from the Luo Sha Kingdom, I'll treat you to a drink."

After saying that, she jumped off the cloud bed directly.

Lu Fang shook his head with a bitter smile. He wasn't worried about Li Yu; she was at least a Fourth-Rank Scholarly Adept, so this height was no problem for her.

Anyway, he didn't necessarily have to ask for a result this time.

The main thing was to express his intentions clearly and let her feel that she wasn't being neglected.

Li Yu was the same as he had imagined before. If you put pressure on her or pushed too hard, she might retreat or push him away.

Finally, her last sentence had already said a lot. For Lu Fang, it was already very satisfying.

In the back mountain of Wenyuan Academy, in an elegant residence.

The Great Scholar Wang Fu sat there drinking alone. He looked up at the sunrise on the top of Mustard Mountain and frowned:

"It's actually Yu'er? I really didn't expect it. It seems I can't drink with Old Man Li for a while. What if I get drunk and let it slip?"

Lu Fang couldn't do it alone to create anomalies with Haoran Zhengqi on Mustard Mountain, so he could only ask his Third Senior Brother Wang Fu to help.

Wang Fu also felt quite strange. Li Yu was someone he had watched grow up, and she was also his disciple. She was almost like his own daughter.

However, after occasionally glancing at the surprise Lu Fang prepared, Wang Fu could only smile like an uncle-in-law. He thought it was quite good for this golden boy and jade girl to be together.

Lord Wenguan's Mansion.

After confirming the time to go to the Luo Sha Kingdom, Lu Fang called Fang Chun to the study and gave her some instructions, mainly about several things he was more concerned about.

First of all, it was Lu Ling and Li Yu.

"During the time I am an envoy to the Luo Sha Kingdom, Ling'er will definitely invite Scholarly Adept Li to be a guest. You must ensure that you try your best not to let the two of them be alone."

Lu Fang instructed.

Other things were secondary. Lu Ling and Li Yu were the ones Lu Fang was a bit worried about. He was afraid that if the two women were in contact, it would make the other uncomfortable. If Fang Chun was always there, he thought they wouldn't talk about him.

"Ah?" Fang Chun was stunned.

She originally thought that Lu Fang was so solemn in instructing her that it must be something big, but it turned out to be asking her to do these things. She doubted her life a little.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

Lu Fang asked.

Fang Chun waved her hands repeatedly, "Young Master, don't worry, I understand. I will definitely not let Miss Ling'er and Scholarly Adept Li Yu be alone."

"I believe that with your intelligence, you will definitely be able to do these things." Lu Fang gave her recognition and continued, "Secondly, regarding the casting of the elegant text 'Dream of the Red Chamber', you should communicate more with He Zixuan."

"By the way, have you read 'Dream of the Red Chamber'?"

He suddenly thought of this.

Fang Chun nodded repeatedly with a smile, "I have seen a handwritten copy of 'Dream of the Red Chamber' at Princess Jin Hong's place before, and I have read it many times. Even the dialogues in it are remembered. There really shouldn't be anyone who wouldn't like this book."

Lu Fang smiled, "That's good. Another thing is that you need to contact the people from the Shen family auction house frequently. I have enemies in Jingcheng, and I don't want my family to be harmed while I'm away."

Fang Chun said softly, "Young Master, if it's just me, I'm afraid..."

Lu Fang interrupted, "You don't need to worry about this. My Third Senior Brother will protect them in the dark. You just need to judge which things might be unfavorable and stop them in time. It's better to make a mistake than to let it go."

"Yes, Young Master."

Fang Chun responded.

Lu Fang thought for a while and said, "Besides, you are one person, and you probably can't handle too many things. You can hire some subordinates, but these people must be well-known, and it's best to do it secretly." ===== CHAPTER 164 =====
