The neighbor had said that a few unfamiliar people had come to look for Aunt Ke and even described the appearance of someone who had been there before.
After listening carefully, Gu Yundong realized that it did not match Eldest Aunt’s appearance. No one had said anything about Eldest Aunt and the rest.
She was a little disappointed, but that was to be expected.
It was unknown where Eldest Aunt and the others had gone. There was a vast sea of people, and it was too difficult to find them without a target.
Gu Yundong returned to the inn before getting into the carriage with her parents and heading to Tianhai Academy.
These days, such large academies were mostly located in mountainous forests, but the Tianhai Academy was in Xuanhe Prefecture.
The academy was very big. It was located by the lake in the south of Xuanhe Prefecture and was quite far from the downtown area. However, the environment was beautiful, quiet, and the literary atmosphere was strong. There were countless people who studied every year.
Gu Yundong sat in the carriage and thought that after her father entered school, it would be best if she could buy a house nearby. It would also be convenient and comfortable to go back and forth.
Gu Dajiang sat opposite her with a serious expression. No one knew what he was thinking.
Gu Yundong could not help but laugh when she saw his expression. “Father, are you nervous?”
Gu Dajiang shook his head. “I’m not nervous. I’ve read all the books I need to read and understood everything I need to understand. But…”
“But what?”
Gu Dajiang thought for a moment and said, “However, I asked the innkeeper this morning. The innkeeper said that the mountain elder of Tianhai Academy is often not in the academy. I’m worried that we won’t be able to meet him.” “I don’t think so. Teacher Qin has always been considerate. He might have already sent a letter to the mountain elder when he introduced us. Besides, if we can’t see him today, we’ll see him tomorrow. We still have to stay in the prefectural city for a few more days to open the shop. There’s no hurry.”
Gu Dajiang nodded. “That’s true.”
He stopped thinking about it and simply lifted the curtain to look outside.
Just as the carriage passed by the notice wall, he suddenly frowned and called Xue Rong, “Stop the carriage.”
Gu Yundong found it strange. She followed his gaze and frowned.
There were still posters of her aunt and the others on the wall, but after a few months, more than half of the portraits were blocked by other notices, so she could not see her aunt’s appearance at all.
Gu Yundong frowned, but there was nothing he could do. Qin Wenzheng had asked the prefectural city government office for help, but it was impossible for them to guard the notice wall all day and not let others cover it.
“Father, let’s go to Tianhai Academy first. When we come back, we’ll draw a few more and post them. In the future, we’ll have a shop in the prefectural city. We’ll often get someone to come and take a look. Just don’t let others cover it up.”
When Gu Dajiang saw the portrait, he thought of his eldest sister and younger brother, who had yet to be found. It would be fine if their whereabouts were unknown, but they might even lose their lives…
Back then, he should have told Eldest Sister and the others that they would meet in the Qing’an Prefecture in the future.
However, he had told his underling before.
Still, be it Gu Dajiang or Gu Yundong, they had searched Wanqing Prefecture for a period of time, but there was no trace of Gu Xiaoxi.
He shook his head. ‘No, they’ll all be safe.’
The carriage gradually drove away before Gu Dajiang slowly came back to his senses.
After a long time, the carriage finally stopped at the entrance of the Tianhai Academy.
Gu Dajiang took a deep breath as he looked at the five six-pillar branded houses in front of him. His heart was inexplicably filled with emotions.
This was the Tianhai Academy. As expected of a hundred-year-old academy. Just by standing outside this archway and looking up, one could feel the thickness and cultural aura.
