The man who approached was a fellow Scholar and student from his days at the Capital City Academy, though they hadn’t interacted much in the past.
Jiang Ye nodded in greeting, then asked the elder for three bowls of noodles and sat down, saying:
"Are you here waiting for An as well?"
"No," Chen Fan replied as the three of them sat down. "I’m here waiting for my elder brother."
Jiang Ye: "Elder brother?"
Wang Yang: "Chen Yi?"
Wei Jinyu: "Chen Yuan?"
As soon as the words fell, the three of them exchanged glances and spoke simultaneously: "Clarify, which elder brother?"
...
Chen Fan looked at them with a strange expression, thought about the purpose behind their questions, and responded:
"It’s my eldest brother, Chen Yuan."
Instantly, Jiang Ye acknowledged with an ’oh,’ while Wang Yang nodded uninterestedly.
Only Wei Jinyu’s eyes lit up, and she scooted her stool closer to Chen Fan, asking:
"When is Chen Yuan coming?"
She didn’t mind interacting more with Chen Fan, and even the look she gave him carried a hint of a smile.
Although she wasn’t officially part of the family yet, Chen Fan was Chen Yuan’s younger brother, which made him her younger brother too — they were family, after all.
Chen Fan leaned back slightly, a bit unused to the attention, and said: "My brother has gone to the Left Minister’s Mansion; I don’t know when he will come out."
Recalling the marriage bestowed by the Holy Emperor to his elder brother as he looked at Wei Jinyu’s gentle, scholarly-faced, clean features.
No wonder Princess asked about my elder brother.
"Left Minister’s Mansion?"
As she spoke, Wei Jinyu was about to head to the Left Minister’s Mansion, but Jiang Ye and Wang Yang stopped her.
"Princess," Jiang Ye whispered, "Chen Yuan might be visiting the Left Minister’s Mansion on official business; you going there might disturb them."
Hearing this, Wei Jinyu thought for a moment, then sat back down, her eyes unblinkingly fixed on the Left Minister’s Mansion.
"Then I will stay here and wait with junior brother Chen Fan."
...
Chen Fan looked at Wei Jinyu, then at Jiang Ye and Wang Yang, who appeared reluctant, and nodded in agreement.
It was of no use not nodding; these three were renowned figures from the Capital City Academy.
In terms of status, knowledge, or cultivation, they were no less than him, and in some aspects, even far surpassed him.
Soon, three bowls of noodles were served. While eating, Jiang Ye asked: "Junior brother, what is your elder brother doing here looking for An?"
While Chen Yi visiting Xie Dongan made sense,
Chen Yuan... He had no connection with An.
Chen Fan shook his head: "My brother didn’t come to see senior brother Dongan. He’s here to visit the Left Minister."
"The Left Minister?" Jiang Ye surprised, then asked: "He’s here to visit Prime Minister Xie?"
Wei Jinyu also asked, puzzled: "What does Chen Yuan want with Prime Minister Xie?"
Even the typically indolent Wang Yang seemed interested, his gaze sharp as he looked at Chen Fan.
"I don’t know."
Chen Fan was a bit uncomfortable under their stares, but he genuinely didn’t know why Chen Yuan was here.
"Last night, after leaving Grandpa’s place, my brother and I stayed at the Moon Viewing Tower."
"I was planning to return to the mansion early this morning, but my brother said he had some business to attend to... I didn’t know he meant coming to the Left Minister’s Mansion."
Creak.
Just then, the door to the Left Minister’s Mansion opened.
"Chen Yuan!"
Wei Jinyu spotted the silver-white hair immediately and went forward to greet him. Chen Fan, Jiang Ye, and Wang Yang quickly followed.
Chen Yuan, seeing them, especially Wei Jinyu who led, furrowed his brows.
However, he didn’t directly approach her, but instead spoke to Xie Dongan, who had escorted him out of the mansion:
"Thank you."
"You’re welcome."
Xie Dongan replied, glanced at the newcomers, then Sound Transmitted: "Aren’t you going to tell Chen Yi about today’s matter?"
Chen Yuan shook his head slightly, continuing via Sound Transmission: "Please keep it a secret for now, Mr. Xie."
"Keeping a secret is fine, but the matter is significant, and moreover, Grandpa just mentioned that his theories might not be accurate..."
"I’ve made up my mind!"
Chen Yuan raised his hand to interrupt him, then looking at Chen Fan approaching, he said: "Please take good care of Chen Fan for me, Mr. Xie."
...
Xie Dongan wanted to say more but eventually sighed, and Sound Transmitted:
"I will have the Academy send a message to him later; several lecturers will ensure his protection."
"That would be for the best."
Saying this, Chen Yuan bowed his hands, then immediately went to greet Chen Fan and the others.
"Chen Yuan, long time no see, you—" freewёbnoνel.com
Wei Jinyu greeted him with a smile, but saw Chen Yuan directly walk past her, her smile freezing on her face.
Chen Fan stopped in his tracks, simply saying: "Big brother."
"Let’s go."
Chen Yuan glanced at Jiang Ye and Wang Yang, motioning for Chen Fan to follow, and walked straight тоwards the exit.
Chen Fan looked at Xie Dongan ahead and Wei Jinyu facing away from them, quickly bowed, and hurriedly followed Chen Yuan.
"Big brother, wait for me."
Wang Yang thoughtfully watched Chen Yuan’s retreating figure, his eyes subtly taking on a platinum hue, but he couldn’t discern anything.
"Dong An, why did Chen Yuan come to visit the Left Minister?"
Xie Dongan glanced at him, then his gaze fell on the stunned Wei Jinyu, saying:
