This admission document could be guessed to be for Gu Jiao even with one’s toes.
"Why didn’t you take out Jiaojiao’s admission letter earlier?"
If it weren’t for the fact that the little monk was only five years old, he would have suspected the guy did it on purpose!
Little Jingkong protested innocently, "You guys didn’t ask!"
"Isn’t that because..." you fell asleep? The more Xiao Hen thought about it, the angrier he got, "Why didn’t you put Jiaojiao’s letter with ours?"
Little Jingkong said righteously, "Jiaojiao’s things of course can’t be placed with you smelly men!"
Xiao Hen mocked, "Ha, as if you’re not one of them."
Little Jingkong looked dumbfounded.
Uh... It seemed like he insulted himself...
Xiao Hen looked at the admission letter with delicate handwriting and a shy and delicate little pink lotus flower made of silk at the end, and he was entirely upset!
...
Yan Country was to the west of Zhan Country, with the Yanshui River in between.
Gu Jiao, holding the admission letters of the group as well as the travel pass lent by her aunt, rented a boat and left the border of Zhan Country.
There were five of them on this trip, apart from her, Gu Yan, and Gu Xiaoshun, Mistress Nan and Master Lu were also in the traveling party.
As for the background of these two, Gu Jiao had not inquired further, but one thing she was clear on: They had come all this way for Gu Yan’s sake.
"Alright, have something to eat, we will be going ashore in half an hour," Mistress Nan said.
The boat they rented was a large canopy boat, fitted with beds and chairs inside the canopy, and with the curtains drawn, it resembled a small compartment; at that moment, aside from Master Lu who was outside keeping watch, the other four were inside the canopy.
It was worth mentioning that since leaving the Capital of Zhan Country, Mistress Nan and Master Lu had stopped speaking the language of Zhan Country, they communicated with each other and with the three Gu siblings in the language of Yan Country.
From initially being completely confused, to now where simple communication was not a problem for the Gu siblings.
"Okay," Gu Jiao replied in the language of Yan Country, "We’re out of dried meat, we only have some pastries left, let’s just make do to fill our stomachs for now. Xiaoshun!"
"Eh, sister!" Gu Xiaoshun responded.
"Speak Yan Country’s language," Mistress Nan reminded.
Gu Xiaoshun scratched his head sheepishly, "Oh, got it."
Gu Jiao opened the food box and had Gu Xiaoshun take a pack of pastries to send to Master Lu.
