Ch. 086.3: Handing Over the Power (3)

Translator :Jenmini

Du Xiao Li and them went to the place arranged for the people of Northern Yuan, having the two courtyards carefully inspected. And after conrming that there weren't any problems, they nally returned to their resting place.

Not long after having lunch, Mu Zi Mu came over to report that the people of Northern Yuan were about to arrive. Du Xiao Li quickly tidied up, and when she went out, she saw Ji Liu Feng riding on top a white horse walking out from the corner of the street. Behind him followed some soldiers, and in the middle of them was a line of horse carriages. It should be the students of Northern Yuan inside.

The nearby few streets have all been isolated. Ordinary commoners, during the competition period, are not allowed to set foot on these streets. If one dares to trespass, the patrolling troops can have the person arrested, and if one even dares to resist, can be directly put to death!

"Young General Ji, to have troubled you." Du Yun Han was also waiting at the entrance, and after Ji Liu Feng drew near, he cupped his hand in greeting.

"Prime Minister Du is too serious. Liu Feng has already brought the people of Northern Yuan over, and now will be handing over to Prime Minister." Ji Liu Feng said as he got down from the horse.

"Alright."

"Then, Liu Feng will leave rst to take care of other matters."

"Young General, please."

Ji Liu Feng bow towards Du Yun Han, and then winked at Du Xiao Li who was behind Du Yun Han, before nally turning to leave.

The people on the horse carriage had already started coming down one after another. Male and female all together there were forty some people. In addition to each having either a servant girl or servant boy, and also the carriage drivers, in total, there were a hundred some people. Ji Liu Feng went over and talked to the leader of the group. Afterwards, he waved his hand at his own people, got on his horse, and left.

The ones leading the group were two teachers from Northern Yuan. In addition, there were also two middle aged women, should be the mamas in charge of the young ladies.

"Teacher Yuan, didn't expect for you to lead the group here this time! Long time no see!" Du Yun Han greeted the thirty some year old man walking in the very front.

"Prime Minister Du, long time no see." Yuan Lin saw Du Yun Han and greeted with a smile. "This time, it's Prime Minister Du that's in charge of the competition?"

"Yes. You all must be travel-worn. The lodging has already been prepared, how about going in to rest rst?" Du Yun Han suggested.

"Alright."

"Please come in."

Yuan Lin turned to the peopled behind him and said to rest rst. Those students all nodded in agreement.

Du Yun Han let the male students follow him, while the female students followed Du Xiao Li.

Everyone nally noticed that there was a little miss behind him.

"This one is?" Yuan Lin asked.

"This is my daughter, and also the owner of the site for the competition this time. The matters on the female side are all taken care of by her. If you all need anything, you can also go look for her."

Du Yun Han introduced, "Xiao Li, this is Northern Yuan's number one teacher, Yuan Lin."

"Greetings Teacher Yuan." Du Xiao Li curtsied in greeting.

Yuan Lin looked to Du Xiao Li and then turned to Du Yun Han, "Miss Du this young, yet already bearing such heavy responsibilities. Prime Minister Du really is 'a tiger father without a puppy daughter'!"

Because Du Xiao Li was a girl, Yuan Lin temporarily had the saying changed.

"Many thanks for Teacher Yuan's praise!" Du Xiao Li calmly said, yet her face didn't have the slightest arrogance.

"Neither arrogant nor impatient, startled at neither favor nor insult, Miss Du has good temperament!" Yuan Lin praised once again.

"Tsk, merely just a immature little child!"

A sharp female voice came through. Everyone looked over, yet didn't see the person that spoke.

Most likely she was blocked by someone.

Du Xiao Li smiled and said, "Father, let's take them in rst."

"Alright, Teacher Yuan, please." Du Yun Han made a gesture at Yuan Lin, and after Yuan Lin took the step, he followed after.

"Young misses, please."

The two courtyards prepared for Norther Yuan weren't separated very far. Everyone entered together, and when they reached the middle, the male and female separately moved into their respective courtyards.

Du Xiao Li lead those young ladies to the courtyard, letting them each pick a room. Just now, she'd silently counted. There were twenty-eight male students from Northern Yuan, and sixteen female students. Each courtyard had fty some rooms, so it wasn't crowded at all. Moreover, every room all came with a little room, prepared for the servant girls.

After picking the rooms, she let Xia Yuan go count up how many people want to take a bath right now, and then let someone have the prepared hot water and bath bucket sent to them. Shortly after, she let them nicely rest up, while she returned to her own courtyard.

The male side was also the same service. Everyone took a bath and then went to nap, eliminating the weariness from the trip. Near evening someone had their dinner sent to the courtyards.

Dinner was prepared according to Norther Yuan's customs. With tasty food and considerate service, this made the Northern Yuan students all rather satised.

During the afternoon, Du Xiao Li had Qiao Zhu and Ying Ge return to Jade Bamboo Courtyard, having her frequently used things moved over. Starting from today, all the way until the end of the competition, she'll be living here.

Han Ming Yi knew the people of Norther Yuan would arrive today, so in the afternoon, he'd also came over for a look, and talked to Du Xiao Li about the security measures here. In addition, he also gave Du Xiao Li a pile of information on the important students that are participating in the competition this time from each country. Inside, their identity, specialty, and personality were all written clearly.

Du Xiao Li looked to the thick stack of papers, sighing at the greatest of Han Ming Yi's power.

Although it was just the information on the important students, to want to have the people from the dierent countries all investigated clearly wasn't a simple thing either.

Han Ming Yi stayed all the way until nighttime before nally leaving. After he left, Du Xiao Li lit a lamp and began studying these people.

The morning of the next day, the people of Northern Qi also arrived, and in the afternoon, the people from Eastern Li also arrived. When there was still three days until the competition, all the participating students have gathered.

The next day, Han Ming Ze had all the students called into the palace. Four countries, 220 participating contestants, all gathered in the vast imperial garden.

Du Xiao Li was also called over, however not as a student, but rather as a organizer.

Over the last two days, each country's students have also got to know Du Xiao Li a little, learning that at a young age, she'd already established Sui Yuan Club on her own, and even without Du Yun Han's power. Towards her, they all very much admired, and seeing her also appearing together with them, they didn't have any objections either.

But, majority of them still only knew that Du Xiao Li was very good at earning money, and towards her other matters, they weren't clear in the slightest.

Han Ming Ze hadn't arrived yet. Everyone just waited in the imperial garden, admiring the chrysanthemums and quietly chatting, when suddenly a delicate voice sounded.

"Wuuu, what smell is this, why is it this smelly?"

"Really, so smelly!"

"Why is this imperial garden this smelly?"

The crowd began getting worked up, drawing other people's attention.

Du Xiao Li was in the middle of taking to Du Yun Han when the two heard the ruckus, and both looked over. At a glance, she saw Du Ke Xin among the crowd. Seemingly she was afraid that everyone would nd out that the smell was coming from her, so her expression was somewhat in a panic.

Apart from this, she also saw not far from Du Ke Xin, among the crowd from Eastern Li, Lu Jun Qi and Lu Jun Wu.
