Chapter 108 - What’s His Name?

They could translate the books at the academy, as well as bring them home.
Xie Qiao sat in the library and browsed through the content roughly.
It was getting late, so she could only bring it home to translate.
When she got home, she was not in a rush to complete her task. Instead, she went to the main courtyard and grabbed her pair of siblings when Xie Pinggang got home.
She took out the jade and placed it before them.
"Which one of you wants this?" asked Xie Qiao.
"I want it. Why did you give it to them?!" Xie Pinggang grabbed it..
Xie Qiao's eyelids twitched before she rolled her eyes at Xie Pinggang, "Eldest Brother, do you want to get yourself a master at the academy?"
"What do you mean?" Xie Pinggang was confused.
Such a great piece of jade could be sold for many taels of silver. Why would she give it to the two young ones? It would be a waste.
"I won this piece of jade in swordsmanship class. It's said that we can get any teacher to be our master with it. So I brought it back to let Pinghuai and Xi'er choose. If there's a teacher that they like, they can make their dream come true," explained Xie Qiao.
Xie Pinggang looked calm now that she explained the issue.
"There's such a thing?" He snickered. "You won this from playing with a sword? That's too easy."
He could play with a sword too!
Xie Qiao felt uneasy upon hearing that.
'Play with a sword…'
She should not talk about artistic conception with a crude man. It was good enough that her eldest brother could express himself.
Xie Pinghuai took a step back immediately as soon as he heard that the jade was to get himself a master. "No, no. Why would I get someone to control me for nothing—"
Slam!
A slap landed on Xie Pinghuai's head.
It was Xie Pinggang who did it.
Xie Pinghuai buried his head like a quail. He dared not move at all.
"Give it to Pinghuai. Get him a good master to study more. It's useless for Xi'er to have a master." Xie Pinggang was straightforward, but he was just telling the truth.
Xie Pinghuai was insensible, but he was smart. If there was someone who could teach him, he would definitely be more motivated.
However, it was a different story for Xie Xi. She was just… dumb.
If she were to really trade the piece of jade with a master, they were worried that her stupidity would piss the master. She would offend someone for nothing.
"No! Eldest Brother, give it to Second Sister! She wants to go to the Royal Academy. Wouldn't she be able to do that with this thing?! I don't even want the silver!" Xie Pinghuai yelled immediately.
Xie Pinggang was stunned. He was eager to lift his foot and kick Xie Pinghuai's head!
This fool!
"What Second Sister? Why are you calling her that when her name isn't in the genealogy book?" Xie Pinggang gnashed his teeth. "Pei Wanyue can study properly at Gulan Academy without this thing. She should do alright, given her character. If you don't have this thing, you'll be a good-for-nothing that everyone ignores forever at the academy!"
How were they the same?
He was not stingy. He had not stopped Pei Wanyue from spending money to go to the academy.
However, she was not his sister of the same mother, nor was she a sister he had been taking care of since he was young. It was definitely impossible for him to pour his heart out for that girl.
Never in her dreams!
"I'm doing pretty great now!" Xie Pinghuai was reluctant.
"Do you want it? Hmm?" Xie Pinggang's voice deepened suddenly.
He stood up, and his tall body resembled a wall, blocking Xie Pinghuai. He stared right at him as if he would eat Xie Pinghuai alive anytime.
Xie Pinghuai was shaking from the scare aside, and even Xie Qiao jolted.
He was too muscular.
He was terrifying.
"Yes…" Xie Pinghuai's eyes became red. He stretched his arm immediately. He did not dare to say no again.
"Great. I remember there's a master well-versed in both liberal and martial arts at your academy. What's his name…" Xie Pinggang thought about it. "Xiao Yurong, that's him. Bring this jade to make him your master tomorrow."
