Chapter 888: Sever Ties with the Ji Family, His Majesty's Personal Teaching (3)
At the same time, he worried that his precious student might be outwitted in terms of cunning.
“Don’t let me keep you,” Yu Xiheng nodded slightly. “I’ll go check on her.”
Having received three antiques for free, Gu Huiyan couldn’t help but laugh foolishly.
The middle-aged man covered his face, feeling it was too embarrassing to watch.
Gu Huiyan laughed for a whole hour before coming back to his senses. “Send these three artifacts to the Great Xia Museum immediately. Make sure they are carefully handled and prepared for public exhibition.”
The monetary value was secondary; the primary importance was the thought behind it.
Yu Xiheng, as his student’s fiancé, was now officially acknowledged.
Gu Huiyan felt that his life had reached its peak in the past two days.
With his beloved student and her wealthy fiancé, he could retire peacefully.
Humming a tune, Gu Huiyan leisurely took out his phone, ready to boast to Cai Zhongnian with a lengthy speech.

At five in the afternoon, after the show had been recorded, Xi Jiang drove to the Heaven Earth Alliance to pick up Si Fuqing.
“Miss Si, yesterday Feng San and I wandered around in Eternity Continent. It was truly amazing,” Xi Jiang said excitedly. “I couldn’t believe that a holographic game could be so realistic. It felt like a real world. Whoever created it must be a genius.”
Si Fuqing propped her chin on her hand. “It is quite incredible.”
Given the current level of world technology, creating a holographic game was impossible.
However, “Eternity” had been around for an indeterminate amount of time.
From the earliest memories of her past life, “Eternity” had existed and had become the sole place for training and assessment at Eternity Academy.
“I didn’t even finish exploring one city yesterday,” Xi Jiang continued. “I bet the Eternity Continent is no smaller than our real world. Imagine how many programs it must have taken to create it.”
As they conversed, they soon arrived at the Mo family residence.
Xi Jiang got out of the car, ready to escort Si Fuqing through the secret passage, but a voice interrupted them.
“Xi Jiang, I heard you’re protecting a celebrity now? A big star, no less. Impressive.”
Xi Jiang turned and snorted coldly. “What’s it to you?”
“It matters a lot,” replied the young man, Feng Dong, also twenty-four years old. “You and I entered the Mo family training together. I can’t bear to see you reduced to such a lowly state.”
The disciples of the Mo family trained in martial arts and generally had no interaction with the secular world.
They had even less interest in the entertainment industry.
So what if one was a movie star or a celebrity?
To them, these were ordinary people, incomparable to themselves.
However, Si Fuqing was exceptionally famous. There were numerous billboards featuring her around Mo City, making her hard to miss.
Feng Dong hadn’t watched any of Si Fuqing’s dramas or shows, and he didn’t even know her name. He only had a deep impression of her face.
Indeed, her beauty was extraordinary.
Feng Dong glanced at Si Fuqing. “What? Has the Mo family abandoned you? Do you have to take on side jobs? Protecting a star? Hah, lowering yourself. I can’t wait to see how you fail during the ultimate assessment.”
Xi Jiang had no time for Feng Dong and didn’t bother being polite. “Miss Si, let’s go.”
“Hold on,” Feng Dong stepped forward, blocking their way. “Are you forgetting the Mo family’s rules? Outsiders must master a concealed weapon technique before entering the Mo family grounds. Do you want me to report this to the elders and have you expelled immediately?”
Xi Jiang’s temper flared. “Are you brainless? Miss Si, ignore him.”
Si Fuqing, however, placed a hand on Xi Jiang’s shoulder and looked up. “Fine, let’s do it.”
She rolled up her sleeves and stepped forward.
