Chapter 1270: 618 Mega Local Tycoon (Second Update)_3 Chapter 1270: 618 Mega Local Tycoon (Second Update)_3 Gu Jiao handed the box to Xiao Hen, gesturing for him to open it.

After Xiao Hen opened it, everyone present was dumbfounded.

Madam Nan’s delicate body trembled, seriously suspecting she was dreaming.

What on earth kind of little monk did she adopt from the mountains?

Why on earth would there be entrance documents to the Yan Country Royal Academy!

Tianqiong Academy, one of the four great century-old academies in Yan Country, having produced three empresses and two emperors, was dubbed the undisputed Royal Academy.

Among the four men in the family, there were a total of four sets of entrance documents.

Madam Nan was puzzled. Does your family own the Tianqiong Academy?

Gu Jiao, having been startled so many times before, quickly calmed down. She asked the little guy in her arms, “Jingkong, you have these, why didn’t you say so earlier?”

Jingkong was almost asleep. He mumbled in his dream, “I… I don’t want to go to school… don’t wanna…”

It seemed that the present wasn’t sent by the abbot but by Jingkong’s master.

Gu Jiao grew even more curious about the white-bearded old monk, wanting to pay him a visit if she had the chance.

The Tianqiong Academy’s documents were the best guide; with them, their plan to travel to Yan Country was halfway to success.

Gu Jiao was packing things in the eastern room when Xiao Hen entered, holding his set of entrance documents with his name on it: “I looked for it, but I couldn’t find yours.”

Gu Jiao, being a woman and having never studied, was likely not included by Jingkong’s master, knowing her situation.

Gu Jiao stopped packing, poured him a cup of hot tea, “Have some tea.”

Xiao Hen took it and drank a few sips, his stomach feeling warm, “But I asked Madam Nan, and she said that wives could go along.”

Gu Jiao continued folding clothes, but upon hearing this, suddenly said, “No need.”

Xiao Hen was puzzled and stopped drinking, “Don’t you want to go?”

Gu Jiao turned around, her expression calm as she looked at him, “I’m going, but, you don’t need to take me.”

Xiao Hen frowned in confusion, “Then how do you plan to—”

Before he could finish, Xiao Hen’s head suddenly felt dizzy, the cup in his hand fell, and he collapsed forward.

Gu Jiao caught the cup firmly with one hand and steadied him with the other.

Xiao Hen looked at her dimly, “You…”

“It’s too dangerous for you to go to Yan Country, so I’ve decided—” Gu Jiao put down the teacup, took the document from his hand, “to go on my own.”

Xiao Hen bit his lip in weakness, Gu… Jiao!

Xiao Hen fell completely unconscious in Gu Jiao’s arms.

…

Gu Jiao’s medicine was potent, and when Xiao Hen woke up, it was three days later. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a little ball dressed in the Guozijian uniform squatting by the bed, drawing circles on the ground.

“Ugh…” Xiao Hen struggled to sit up.

The little ball lifted his head upon hearing the noise, dropped the stick in his hand, and looked at him with a resentful face, “You finally woke up?”

Xiao Hen looked at Jingkong, then toward the door, “Where’s Jiaojiao?”

Jingkong stamped his foot and huffed, “She left! It’s all your fault! You didn’t keep Jiaojiao here! Because I had to take care of you, Jiaojiao left me behind too!”

Jiaojiao didn’t want to bring you in the first place, okay?

You’re a hindrance as a child, Gu Jiao also has to take care of a sick person, where would she find the time to look after you too?

Xiao Hen’s conscience kicked in, and he didn’t speak the harsh truth.

Moreover, he believed Gu Jiao might still want to seek revenge for Gu Yan, so it was too dangerous to take Jingkong along.

“Did she go with Gu Yan by herself?” Xiao Hen actually wanted to ask if Madam Nan had gone with her.

Jingkong didn’t catch his implication, and just said sourly according to his own understanding, “Brother Xiaoshun went too!”

What!

She took Gu Xiaoshun but not him!

He was really angry now!

“Do you, do you want to go and find Jiaojiao?” Jingkong asked with a pout.

Xiao Hen paused in anger, “What do you mean? Oh, you also have entry documents, but other than spouses, only blood relatives can go.”

Jingkong puffed out his chest, “As long as you promise to take me, I can find a way to let you go.”

Xiao Hen looked skeptical.

Jingkong pressed, “Do you promise or not?”

Xiao Hen glanced at him doubtfully, “Fine, I promise.”

Jingkong was not easy to fool, “You have to swear, if you deceive me, let Jiaojiao find me a new brother-in-law in Yan Country!”

Little guy, that’s too vicious!

But the temptation to find Gu Jiao was too great, so Xiao Hen agreed for now.

Only then did Jingkong dash to a chest, and from his pile of little junk, he furiously dug out until at last, he produced a little gold-inlaid box, handing it to Xiao Hen, “Here.”

Xiao Hen opened the little box to look, and inside was yet another set of Yan Country’s entrance documents.

His bad luck seemed to finally turn around!

Xiao Hen’s eyes brightened, but as he read on, his face darkened instantly.

On the document, written in black ink on white paper, was—Canglan Women’s Academy.

Xiao Hen: “…”
