　　Early the next morning, the housekeeper of the Grand Tutor's residence was awoken by some clamorous noise outside. After yawning for a while, he finally got up. Right when he went outside, he collided into a chunk of tofu and was winded.

　　"Whose the scoundrel who came to mount a sneak attack on me this early in the morning?" The old housekeeper pushed against the top of the tofu chunk, then threw his two long mustache backwards.

　　Before his voice even transmitted, he saw a cold baby face that was even blacker than the bottom of the wok staring back at him. One of his hands on a piece of tofu chunk, he shouted out loud revealing a mouthful of big white teeth. "It's the strategist!"

　　Wiping his two eyes, the old housekeeper fixed his eyes on Shao Zitang a while, then cried out in surprise. "Strategist…. Strategist Shao."

　　"Hahaha…. So basically, you were in the city going around in circles over and over. In the end, you were still unable to find the road back. Until this morning, when you were led by the early morning tofu seller to Yan Ran's residence?" Within the study room, a burst of clear and bright laughter could be heard. Immediately following, the not so good complexion of Shao Zitang became a shade darker when he saw Feng Tingye's gaze become a bit disgraceful.

　　With a gloomy face, Shao Zitang felt incomparable regret. In that moment, why did he have the idea of telling the old man selling tofu that he wanted to go to the Grand Tutor's residence? He should have went directly back to his own residence. If he did that at least he wouldn't be in his present situation of being jeered at by his group of bad friends!

　　Shao Zitang had a belly full of words he still hasn't vented out, nevertheless Yan Ran did not even make a meaningful glance. It was with great difficulty that he was finally able to even utter a sound, hating that he was unable to say anything yesterday, all the words he stifled back yesterday came pouring out.

　　"It wasn't just like that, you guys don't even know. When that selling tofu old man led Zitang to my residence, he was enthusiastically pulling on my gatekeeper and was telling him a bunch of things.

　　He said that little tiny child is so adorable, how could anyone leave him alone to wander the streets? What would happen if he was kidnapped by a bad person? The little child was lucky he encountered him instead of a bad guy. Ahahahahah! You guys didn't even see Zitang's expression when he arrived at my residence, literally the funniest thing ever."

　　But, we already did see it!

　　The people in the room taking the same action without prior consultation, all glanced towards the greenish black face behind Yan Ran. Shao Zitang clenched his fist until it was making cracking sounds. Swiftly a back chilling wind soon made everyone in the room keep quiet out of fear, except for Yan Ran who was still laughing incessantly with a face of extreme joy.
