Chapter 876: Chapter 876: Reunion with an Old Friend, Two Younger Brothers_1
Cloud Pine Academy is located at the foot of Jade Pine Mountain, ten miles outside Jinling City.
The entire campus is nestled among the mountains and forests with picturesque scenery and exquisite charm.
The young men arrive at the academy, dismount from their horses.
Shitou is quick on his feet and takes the Duke of Zhen’s token, sprinting towards the gate to knock on the door.
“Boss!”
“It’s really the Boss, Boss…”
While the academy gate is still closed, two young men rush out from the woods near the foot of the mountain, excitedly making their way to Lin Qingluo.
“Xu Ruoxuan, Li Yunxiu, is it you guys?”
Upon seeing the two young men, Lin Qingluo also can’t hide her surprise, inevitably breaking into a smile.
Xu Ruoxuan speaks first: “Boss, we were on the hillside, looking from a distance when we saw someone who looked like you and dashed down here.”
Not to be outdone, Li Yunxiu adds: “Luckily, I have sharp eyes and recognized the Boss among the group, or else we would have missed her.”
Lin Qingluo exudes radiance: “When did you two come to Cloud Pine Academy?”
“Early September, just after getting in.”
The two answered almost in unison.
“Did you guys take the spring County Exam too?”
Lin Qingluo’s eyes widen with pleasure: “How did you do?”
“Hehe, not bad.”
Li Yunxiu covers his nose and grins foolishly: “I ranked fifth, and he ranked seventh, both taking the same test.”
“Well done!”
Lin Qingluo pats the two younger brothers’ shoulders one by one, generously praising: “Passing the County Examination at fourteen years old, your future achievements are boundless.”
“Hehe, Boss, did you also take the exam?”
Li Yunxiu feels a bit smug and subconsciously asks.
“Yes, I did.”
Lin Qingluo nods simply.
“Which place did you rank?”
The heartbeats of the two young men skip a beat.
“I wasn’t in Mingshui County when the results were announced.”
Lin Qingluo smiles: “I didn’t see the results in person, but I heard from my family that I seemed to have ranked first.”
“Ai!”
The two young men let out a wail, instantly deflated like deflated balloons, devoid of energy.
“Boss, you don’t have to be so hard on us.”
“First in the Provincial Examination, and now first in the County Exam, do people like us still have a chance of survival?”
“We already worked so hard, nearly vomiting blood from studying, but we still can’t catch up to you.”
“Hehe.”
Lin Qingluo is amused and laughs, waving her hand to call Lin Yixuan forward: “Yixuan, do you remember these two?”
“Um, yes.”
Lin Yixuan hugs Baoya, his big eyes shining bright.
“Oh my, I didn’t recognize Little Prince just now. He’s grown so much, almost as tall as me now!”
Having not seen each other in three years, the young men have changed significantly.
Li Yunxiu was startled when he first saw the Little Prince, who had grown so fast, almost popping his eyes out in surprise.
Fortunately, he is still cautious enough to swallow back the words “Little Prince” before they slip out of his mouth.
“Yixuan, do you still remember us?”
Xu Ruoxuan is inexplicably overjoyed.
“Yes.”
Lin Yixuan nods with a smile: “Senior Brother Xu is good at calligraphy, writing excellent characters, whereas Senior Brother Li excels at arithmetic, studying stargazing techniques.”
“You still remember so clearly even after three years?”
The two young men can’t help showing a mixture of awe and joy.
“Yixuan has an incredible memory and a keen mind.”
Lin Qingluo jokes with a smile: “He even remembers the embarrassing stuff from our childhood when he cried like a baby!”
“Sister!”
Lin Yixuan’s little face turns dark, pulling at his youthful voice to complain: “You’re teasing me again!”
“Hahaha.”
All the young men are amused and burst into hearty laughter.

The academy gate opens a crack, and upon seeing the Duke of Zhen’s token, the gatekeeper’s young servant trembles with fear and hastily pushes the heavy steel doors open to welcome the noble guests.
