[beware of misspelled, grammar mistake, and other thing that may cause inconvenient while reading]

The students moved towards them noisily, while those who were previously stand beside An Chengjie moved away from him.

An Chengjie stood alone at the center of the crowd. He tried to suppress his panic and calmly said, "Teacher Liu, I do not understand what you mean."

"You don't understand?" Liu Qingfeng saw that he refused to admit his mistakes, which made him more incensed. His face was ashen as he turned the book in his hand to the first page and showed it directly to the youth. "Look at this thing that you've plagiarized, you truly make all scholars lose face!"

[The probability of An Chengsheng falling in love with the protagonist has dropped to 30%. Please persist in your actions, host.]

After receiving the system's notification, Ye Zhizhou glanced at An Chengsheng who had the same ashen look. He quickly decided to add oil to the fire. "Big brother, how did the poem written by second brother turned out the same as the one in my book? Did second brother really plagiarize? He obviously did not have to, his poems have been well done before, so he does not need to plagiarize at his level...."

An Chengsheng's face seemed to have changed as he thought of a possibility. He asked, "Le Er, where did you get this book? Is this collection really a series?"

"Why is Big Brother suddenly thinking about this?" He pretended to be ignorant and confused, and replied, "I bought this collection of poems from an old beggar in South Street. He said that his ancestors from the previous dynasty secretly saved these pieces from the huge literary inquisition. They have been hidden for hundreds of years, which is why they were a collection. The poems were divided into four chapters: spring, summer, autumn, and winter."

Various thoughts flashed over An Chengsheng's mind. As he recalled more of the amazing poems recited by An Chengjie, his doubts rose higher. He did not think of this before, but now that he was thinking about it, An Chengjie's style kept on changing. It was like his poems were made by different people.... Is it a coincidence that An Chengjie recited poems from the other chapters of the collection? Probably, when he found out that nobody knew of the collection, he wanted to take advantage of this and plagiarize.... When he thought of this, he gritted is teeth and walked beside Liu Qingfeng. He joined the people who were questioning An Chengjie.

[The probability of An Chengsheng falling in love with the protagonist has dropped to 15%. Please persist in your actions, host.]

A huge scholar battle against a plagiarizing dog started. The potential fan was so furious as he moved to join the circle and wage war. Ye Zhizhou felt pleased as he closed the notifications from the system. He then returned to his corner and cracked melon seeds open. He did not need to worry about An Chengsheng for the time being, while Lei Baofei's probability of falling in love with the protagonist has also dropped below the safety line. Now, only the seventh prince was left...... If he remembered correctly, the note he sent last time was still not seen by the seventh prince......

The event could be said to have a bustling start, but it definitely would not end well.

An Chengjie was completely vulnerable in front of scholar Liu Qingfeng. After probing out and testing the limits of their decorum, An Chengjie was overwhelmed by pressure and fled. Due to this incident, the students did not have any interest on exchanging knowledge. After talking about this plagiarism problem, they all left.

An Chengsheng rushed back to the Zhen Guo Gongfu. He found out that An Chengjie did not return home, so he went to the study room and talked to his father. This time, what An Chengjie did was really unsightly. If it was not handled well then the reputation that Zhen Guo Gongfu accumulated over the years would all be gone!

Ye Zhizhou, who was prepared to go and add fuel to the fire, was stopped by Zijin Guard who suddenly appeared at the gate. He was forced to suddenly return to the palace. Ye Zhizhou was sitting in the carriage with a bag of melon seeds, thinking deeply. His bad-tempered lover is going crazy, what should he do to coax him.....

(He's the Eighth Prince's Secret Guard)

When he returned to Yong Yan Palace, people already had to hold lamps to light up the place. Yan Mingyong was sitting alone at a table filled with food, slowly flipping through a book.

Upon seeing this, Ye Zhizhou paused for a while then tried going inside nonchalantly. With a big smile on his face, "Mingyong, I am back! What's for dinner? It smells good."

"Le Er." Yan Mingyong closed his book, looked up at him with an expressionless face, and reached out. "My chest feels a bit heavy."

Hey, he actually didn't make trouble. He even took the initiative to reach out. It seems that his lover finally matured a little. Ye Zhizhou stepped forward, held his hand and supported his chest. "Maybe it is because you slept too long? I will take you to the garden tomorrow, you're not allowed to sleep for the whole afternoon."

Yan Mingyong leaned on him and slightly encircled his hands on Ye Zhizhou's neck and nodded, "En. I will listen to you."

Ye Zhizhou blinked and then smiled. He thought that such a well-behaved lover was very cute. He could not resist bowing his head and kissing his face, "I did a lot of fun things today, I am going to tell you about them after dinner!"

Yan Mingyong's eyes flashed, his hands which were placed around Ye Zhizhou's neck moved slightly, revealing a fine needle in his fingertips. He gently pricked him and smiled afterwards, "I just happened to have some fun things to tell you too."

Ye Zhizhou felt a seemingly familiar sensation at the back of his neck, his brain shutting down. His body got soft, involuntarily falling. Ye Zhizhou fought to hang onto consciousness to face his lover. He wanted to roll his eyes, but did not have the strength to do so. He was dumbfounded, "Mingyong, you don't have to do this..." His consciousness gradually left him as he finally closed his eyes.

Yan Mingyong looked at the person who turned silent after falling asleep in his arms. He bowed his head rubbed his cheek. Feeling satisfied, he held onto Ye Zhizhou tightly and sighed. "Le Er, you're not allowed to run away."

An Chengjie hid in Guiyuan Temple for two days. He finally had the so-called ancient poetry collection that supposedly came from a foreign traveler. After reading it, his heart sank. First of all, that Chuanyue restaurant popped up from nowhere, and now this 《Best of the Tang and Song Poems》. There is another transmigrator, and he is very unfriendly. Secretly sneaking behind his back! In anger, he threw the book away. He sat in the room with a sullen face. After a while, he made up his mind to find a pen and paper to write to Lei Baofei.

On the third day at midnight, he sneaked back into the Zheng Guo Gong Fu.

Da Zhu was waiting for him at the side door. When he saw him, he hurriedly went to him and said anxiously, "Gongzi, what do we do now? Everyone outside is scolding you. The Master also said that he would drive you out and make you return to Zhuangzi. Even the Madam is very angry. The other concubines are also asking to get rid of you. Eldest Young Master even more..."

(An Chengjie's servant/caretaker)

"Okay, shut up!" An Chengjie interrupted him impatiently. He took the cloak in his hand and wrapped it around himself. He carefully avoided the patrolling guards and quickly walked towards his yard. He asked as he walked, "Did you send the letter to Lei-gongzi?"

"I already sent it." Da Zhu saw that he was in a bad mood, so he stopped talking. He whispered, "This afternoon, Lei-gongzi said that things have been prepared for Gongzi, and he also said..."

When he heard that everything is prepared, An Chengjie's mood got better, so he asked: "What did he say? Stop mumbling. Don't worry, didn't you come with me from Zhuangzi to the capital? I won't leave you so you don't need to hesitate."

When Da Zhu saw him like this, he gritted his teeth and said: "The people that Lei-gongzi sent said that this would be the last time. The kindness has been returned, so he hoped that Gongzi would not bother him anymore. He also said that in addition to the things that you requested, he added some silver for Gongzi to live in the future. He hoped that Gongzi would be self-sufficient in the future, be able to wash his heart and renew his face, and conduct himself with integrity."

(wash his heart and renew his face – turn over a new leaf)

An Chengjie's footsteps stopped abruptly. After a few deep breaths, he pressed down his anger, flinged his sleeves and continued to walk forward. Kindness has been returned? Don't bother him anymore? Pei! What an ungrateful bastard! This ancient man sure enough was a bad man!

He packed up his valuables and banknotes in the dark room, and then walked out of the yard that he stayed in for a few months with Da Zhu. An Chengjie suddenly let out a cold laugh and created a fire with his accounts book. Since he decided to destroy the traces of his past, naturally, the place he lived in must also be ruined!

Da Zhu watched as his expression become sullener under the faint light of the fire. He could not help but shiver. Is the current gongzi still the same gongzi he was taking care of when he was a child? He always felt that ever since the gongzi fell in the lake, gongzi's temper has been more extreme...

Zhen Guo Gong Fu suddenly caught fire in the middle of the night. Several yards were burned. They heard that shameless bastard who plagiarized verses got burnt to death. As soon as the news spread, there seemed to be people clapping their hands, making conspiracy theories, and even angry sighs, but no one was sad. Those who once pursued An Chengjie turned against him and were calling him a liar. It was even more shameful for those who were once friends of An Chengjie. They did not even want to mention or hear the name An Chengjie.

Ye Zhizhou listened to Dean talking about the news with no emotion. He only felt a headache. "Well, I know that he is very miserable now. You don't have to come to report every day. How about your master?" "He has been in this comfortable and exquisite hot springs for three or four days. Whenever he wants to eat, wants to sleep, or anything else, someone send it to him immediately. He just couldn't get out or leave. He also hasn't see Yan Mingyong yet, only could see De An who is now standing in front of him.

"Something is delaying His Highness, but he will come back soon."

This answer again! I can hear cocoons in my ears! Also that little brat (bear child) actually assigned secret guards to encircle the villa so that it was completely sealed. He could run away, but who knew what that little brat would do after he ran! He really could not understand. His lover from the two previous worlds were so stable and mature, yet what happened in this life? Was it a genetic mutation from his reincarnation? Hold on... Is it possible that his lover not having the same personality/soul when he reincarnates......?

[ The person related to the task was scanned, and is verified to have no abnormalities. Asking host to set his mind to rest.]

He looked at the notification in front of him, and spoke in his mind, "So the reason why we meet every time is because of his unusual ability to reincarnate?" He already doubted at an earlier time. It is impossible to have so much coincidences that he would always come across his lover at the mission world. Furthermore, his lover was even a person related to his task. How suspicious!

Another notification popped up, [ The Heavenly Law cannot be violated. Directed reincarnation is harmful to the soul; it is not recommended.]

(A reincarnation where someone choose where he wants to reincarnate himself, i think)

He stopped ridiculing in his heart, and asked hurriedly, "What do you mean by directed reincarnation? So you can do this kind of thing?"

[ The host does not have enough authorization. The system is unable to answer.]

"...Hey!"

[ Asking the host to do his mission.]

"......" Why would you suddenly stop in the middle of your explanation!

He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. This lover of his can come and follow him! However, the price of that was that he would get weaker and weaker? His soul force would also get worse... If the spiritual strength of his lover was weakening due to this directed reincarnation, then his soul force would soon disappear... He suddenly thought of something, and so he asked excitedly, "Tong Tian, is soul force considered a part of the soul?"

The system was quiet for a long time before eventually answering, [ Soul force can strengthen the soul.]

"Then tell me, is Mingyong's soul has worn out?"

[No abnormalities.]

He sighed and squatted in the chair. Fortunately, the soul of his lover was still intact. Holding on to his last hope, he continued to ask: "Could we change the directed reincarnation to use soul force instead rather than directly damaging the soul?"

The system paused for a while, like it was searching for data. Two minutes later, a new sentence popped up in the screen. [It could happen, but the other party needs to have special privileges.]

"What is the special privilege required?"

[ The host does not have enough authorization. The system is unable to answer. ]

....urk!
