He grew increasingly curious about Yu Xihengâs true identity.
At the same time, he worried that his precious student might be outwitted in terms of cunning.
âDonât let me keep you,â Yu Xiheng nodded slightly. âIâll go check on her.â
Having received three antiques for free, Gu Huiyan couldnât 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. âSend these three artifacts to the Great Xia Museum immediately. Make sure they are carefully handled and prepared for public exhibition.â
The monetary value was secondary; the primary importance was the thought behind it.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Yu Xiheng, as his studentâs 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.
âMiss Si, yesterday Feng San and I wandered around in Eternity Continent. It was truly amazing,â Xi Jiang said excitedly. âI couldnât believe that a holographic game could be so realistic. It felt like a real world. Whoever created it must be a genius.â
Si Fuqing propped her chin on her hand. âIt is quite incredible.â
Given the current level of world technology, creating a holographic game was impossible.
However, âEternityâ had been around for an indeterminate amount of time.
From the earliest memories of her past life, âEternityâ had existed and had become the sole place for training and assessment at Eternity Academy.
âI didnât even finish exploring one city yesterday,â Xi Jiang continued. âI bet the Eternity Continent is no smaller than our real world. Imagine how many programs it must have taken to create it.â
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.
âXi Jiang, I heard youâre protecting a celebrity now? A big star, no less. Impressive.â
Xi Jiang turned and snorted coldly. âWhatâs it to you?â
âIt matters a lot,â replied the young man, Feng Dong, also twenty-four years old. âYou and I entered the Mo family training together. I canât bear to see you reduced to such a lowly state.â
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 hadnât watched any of Si Fuqingâs dramas or shows, and he didnât even know her name. He only had a deep impression of her face.
Indeed, her beauty was extraordinary.
Feng Dong glanced at Si Fuqing. âWhat? Has the Mo family abandoned you? Do you have to take on side jobs? Protecting a star? Hah, lowering yourself. I canât wait to see how you fail during the ultimate assessment.â
Xi Jiang had no time for Feng Dong and didnât bother being polite. âMiss Si, letâs go.â
âHold on,â Feng Dong stepped forward, blocking their way. âAre you forgetting the Mo familyâs 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?â
Xi Jiangâs temper flared. âAre you brainless? Miss Si, ignore him.â
Si Fuqing, however, placed a hand on Xi Jiangâs shoulder and looked up. âFine, letâs do it.â
She rolled up her sleeves and stepped forward.
