Chapter 84: Organizing a Banquet
"Zheng Fa Initiates"
Zheng Fa sat in his study, looking at the envelope in his hand, hesitating for a moment before deciding to open it.
Since the Immortal Item meeting, he had not seen Gao Yuan.
Last night, Seventh Young Master suddenly handed him a letter, saying it was left for him by Gao Yuan.
"When you read this letter, I will probably have already embarked on the journey to study at Jingyang Academy. You, being such a smart person, probably didn’t expect that I would be the first among us three to leave."
Zheng Fa was stunned, not expecting that Gao Yuan had already left the Zhao Family. He had heard of Jingyang Academy—it was famous but also very far.
"You once said the young master is a good person, I didn’t quite believe it before, but now I do. I asked the young master for help, and to my surprise, not only did he obtain my indenture from Mrs. Zheng, but he also asked Mr. Shen to write a recommendation letter for me to the dean of the academy."
Zheng Fa smiled and continued reading.
"It was I who asked the young master to keep it from you."
"I don’t want you and the young master to come back one day, finding me with white hair while your black hair remains untouched. I also don’t want to face someone I consider a close friend today with bent knees and a bowed spine, calling him ’Immortal lord’ in deference. Originally, I was willing to, but for some reason, after meeting you, I became unwilling."
"I once thought, among the three of us, I am probably the most unworthy one. The young master is inherently kind-hearted, you are clear-minded, while I have always been grasping and obsessed with comparing to others. Now you have gone to the Immortal Sect, and I can only remain alone in the mortal world."
