That day, throughout the morning, many classmates came to talk to Su An.

There are both male and female classmates.

Most of the female classmates were good-looking and had outstanding figures. They admired Su An's talent and asked him for advice on poetry. They also gave him some hints from time to time and showed off their beautiful styles.

The male classmates recommended themselves to Su An, hoping that Su An could use them, or simply said that they wanted to be his younger brothers.

There was even a guy named Liao Chunlian, who said that he was the genius second only to Tan Tai Xuan in the Nanfu Academy, and was willing to let Su An lead him in the future.

Su An acted very cold towards these people and didn't want to pay any attention to them.

His purpose of coming to the Nanfu Academy was to practice and obtain the jade slip.

Instead of talking about love with the female students here, not to mention that with Zhou Qingyu as a role model by his side, if Su An really wanted to find a girl to communicate with emotionally, he would not look for them.

Su An doesn't need any younger brothers. These male students who volunteered themselves are of no use other than wasting his time.

If he needed manpower, he could just look for them in the Shenwei Marquis' Mansion, or ask Su Wan directly for them.

The Marquis's Mansion has its own system for selecting and training subordinates, which was founded by Marquis Shenwei himself.

Danqing and Feiyue are the ones selected and trained by this system. Their talents are beyond doubt, and Danqing's loyalty is definitely no problem.

Although Feiyue has some small thoughts, she still has a sense of belonging to the Marquis' Mansion and can be trusted overall.

Neither the talent nor the loyalty of these male students in the Nanfu Academy are guaranteed.

After lunch, Su An came to the Sutra Library.

There are not many people in the Sutra Repository at this moment.

Su An glanced across the lobby on the first floor of the Sutra Repository, trying to find a place to sit down.

Soon, he saw a familiar figure sitting by the window, reading a book seriously with her head down.

The beautiful figure was none other than Tan Tai Xuan. She was wearing a moon-white magic robe, with her face bare and her hair tied up with a wooden hairpin. She had a temperament as elegant as an orchid.

After yesterday, Su An had gotten to know Tan Tai Xuan better.

She has an older sister who has just come of age, and a pair of twin siblings who are only six years old.

His father was a blacksmith with a stable and fairly respectable income, and his family conditions were considered good among common people, so Tan Tai Hsuan's father could grit his teeth and support Tan Tai Hsuan to practice at the Nanfu Academy.

But later, Tan Tai Xuan's father suddenly fell ill in bed. The cause of his illness was very strange, and the intelligence personnel in the Marquis' Mansion analyzed that it was due to some kind of poison.

This poison can cause paralysis but will not kill people. It takes a long time and expensive medicinal herbs to slowly neutralize the toxicity and maintain body functions.

It can be concluded that it was a conspiracy, and the mastermind behind it was most likely Liu Yu, who had been pursuing Tan Taixuan without success, or the Liu family behind Liu Yu.

After Tan Tai Xuan's father fell ill, the Tan Tai family lost their income and had to pay for medicinal materials. Tan Tai Xuan's family situation suddenly became very difficult.

In the end, it was only with the help of loans and the chief priest that Tan Tai Xuan was able to avoid dropping out of school.

Tan Tai Xuan had the status of a genius in the Southern Palace Academy, so lenders were willing to lend money to her family, but they already owed a lot of money.

During this period, Liu Yu also came to the house several times, saying that he could help Tan Tai Xuan solve his father's paralysis and help pay off the debts, and the request was to take Tan Tai Xuan as his concubine.

Liu Yu hoped to win the beauty, and the Liu family also hoped to get a talented commoner genius.

However, the Tan Tai family did not agree and withstood the pressure.

Tan Tai Xuan was a very motivated and self-reliant woman. With her talent, if nothing unexpected happened, under the protection of the Southern Palace Academy, she would be able to achieve success in her cultivation, solve the difficulties at home, and lead the family to a higher level.

It is a very inspiring story of the struggle of ordinary people.

Su An came and sat down diagonally opposite Tan Tai Xuan.

Seeing someone coming, Tan Tai Xuan subconsciously looked up.

"Prince?"

Tan Tai Xuan was a little surprised. She looked around and saw that there were plenty of seats nearby, so why did Su An sit next to her?

Is there anything you want to talk to her about?

"Senior Sister Tan Tai." Su An nodded at her.

"I just came to Nan Mansion and I'm unfamiliar with the place. It's rare to meet an acquaintance." Su An smiled.

Tan Tai Xuan nodded, said nothing more, and continued to read with his head down.

The two of them spent the entire afternoon reading quietly.

However, other people in the Sutra Repository occasionally turned their attention to this side.

In the past, because of Liu Yu's warning, no male students dared to get close to Tan Tai Xuan. When everyone saw a man appear next to Tan Tai Xuan, they subconsciously looked to see who was so brave.

It turned out to be the son of Marquis Shenwei, and then everyone's attention was focused on Su An.

However, most of the students who come to the Sutra Repository are studious, except for a small number of students who want to come over and chat with Su An but are forced back by Danqing's gaze.

Most of the others looked at Su An a few times to satisfy their curiosity, and then focused on their own work.

In the afternoon, the golden sunlight shines through the red windows onto the solid wood floor in the Sutra Library, and the dust dances in the sunlight.

In the Sutra Library, there is only the occasional sound of pages turning, and the atmosphere is peaceful and harmonious.

Time passed quietly.

For the entire afternoon, neither Su An nor Tan Tai Xuan spoke a word to each other.

Until the sun sets and dusk falls.

Tan Tai Xuan stretched, packed up his things and prepared to leave.

Before leaving, she glanced at Su An, and thought that Su An was sitting next to her because he had something to ask her.

It turned out that Su An just wanted to find a place where he could read books with people he knew, and he didn't say a word to her the whole time.

Tan Tai Xuan could tell that Su An was concentrating on reading the whole afternoon instead of just pretending.

But why did Su An come to the Southern Palace Academy? He was the top scorer in the assessment of the Palace of Literature.

The outside world was saying that Su An had used his connections in the Marquis' Mansion to falsify his grades in order to get the top spot.

Most of the students at the Nanfu Academy faced this matter with a nonchalant attitude, but the students at the Literature Palace, especially those who failed the exam, complained bitterly about it.

Tan Taixuan had no idea whether this result was true or not, but there was one thing she was sure of, that was Su An was definitely not forced to come to the Nanfu Academy because of his dull talent.

He read very quickly. In the afternoon, he read two books, one on the basic subject of formation, one on arithmetic, and the other on epigraphy.

Today is the second day of school. According to the progress, he should still be studying the first chapter, but in just one afternoon, he has read from the third chapter to the fifth chapter.

This is enough to prove Su An's quick wit.

"Prince, I'm leaving first." Tan Tai Xuan said.

"Goodbye, Senior Sister." Su An looked at her and nodded slightly.

He wanted to read for a while longer and had no intention of leaving now.

Tan Tai Xuan only said goodbye to him out of politeness and had no intention of asking Su An to leave with him.

They were not familiar with each other, and Tan Tai Xuan did not want to have too much relationship with Su An. This handsome junior brother was always the man she could not get.
