A Time-Traveling Mishap: I Became an Ancient Nobleman

Chapter 18 is about the new junior brother, right?

Zhou Hanzhang wanted to ask him more questions, but then thought better of it. This man was being described so strangely by his cousin, so he decided to ask him another day.

After Chen Moran turned back to continue diligently searching for information, Li Xianda patted his chest.

"That scared me to death."

Since it's not convenient to ask this person here, we should still ask the other two people to clarify things.

"What about the remaining two?"

"Sister Gu Qingfeng is the Empress, and her father commands so many troops in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Her backing is incredibly strong, and she herself is also very powerful, and moreover..."

He lowered his voice, "This guy has a powerful backer, is spoiled by his family, and has developed a... well, rather straightforward personality. It's best to avoid him."

Li Xianda continued, "Although our family is rich, we are ultimately no match for their power, so let's not confront them head-on."

"What about the last one?" Zhou Hanzhang vaguely remembered the people from before, but this seemed to be the first time he had heard of Shen Moli.

When Li Xianda saw her asking, he looked around and whispered, "This is information I dug up at a high price."

"This person is said to be being groomed by Medicine King Valley to become the next Valley Master."

"Isn't that great? What a talented person!" Zhou Hanzhang didn't understand.

Li Xianda continued, "He is a talented person, but his body and personality are a bit strange."

"How is it strange?"

"Do you know how Medicine King Valley trains its next Valley Master?" Li Xianda asked.

"Speak quickly," Zhou Hanzhang said impatiently.

"Shen Moli was fed all kinds of tonics and poisons by Medicine King Valley from a young age, and eventually grew into a Medicine Saint with an immune body to all poisons."

"Isn't that a good thing?"

"Yes, but if we get close to him, one day we might not even know how we died."

"What do you mean?"

"According to rumors, his sweat contains deadly poison. Moreover, Shen Moli is not only skilled in medicine, but also in poisons. In fact, he prefers to tinker with all sorts of bizarre poisons rather than medicine. No one in this courtyard has escaped his torment."

Zhou Hanzhang nodded knowingly; he understood just from that explanation.

"Most importantly! That guy was also making different kinds of aphrodisiacs!!! And he used them on his fellow disciples!!! Whoever was on good terms with him was the most likely to be affected."

Zhou Hanzhang: !!

This is indeed a bit scary.

She silently added the person to her blacklist.

After Li Xianda finished introducing these oddballs one by one, he saw Chen Moran, who was standing in the library, put down the book in his hand with a frown and walk towards them.

"When are you going to send over all the books from your house?" he asked Li Xianda.

Li Xianda didn't dare to be negligent at all and immediately replied, "This... I just came in and didn't bring a page or anything. If you want to send it over, you'll have to wait until the academy's next holiday to go out, right?"

Chen Moran thought for a moment, then took out the jade pendant he was wearing and handed it over, saying, "Here, take this jade pendant. You can use it to freely enter and leave the academy."

As soon as Li Xianda touched the jade pendant, Chen Moran continued, "I hope to see this batch of books today."

Li Xianda nodded hastily and grabbed Zhou Hanzhang, ready to run away.

Unexpectedly, Chen Moran grabbed Zhou Hanzhang's hand and asked, "Have you chosen your dormitory yet?"

Zhou Hanzhang shook his head. "I want to wait until the other disciples arrive before making a choice."

"Then come with me." With that, she grabbed him and pulled him away.

Just as Li Xianda was about to follow, Chen Moran said, "Go out and arrange for the books and cook to be sent over. I'll arrange things for your brother."

Li Xianda could only watch their backs as they walked away, touching his nose. He thought to himself that he probably couldn't beat them anyway, and it wouldn't be worth it if they remembered his curse.

He decisively turned and walked towards the courtyard gate.

Chen Moran led Zhou Hanzhang back to the schoolhouse, heading straight into the depths of the schoolhouse and stopping in front of a row of distinctive schoolhouses.

The row of school buildings was not built together with the other school buildings in the academy, but was hidden deep in the bamboo forest. There was also a lake in front of the school buildings, which made it look like a paradise.

Zhou Hanzhang followed Chen Moran closer and discovered that Old Man Mo Xuan was sitting by the lake fishing.

He looked at Chen Moran bringing Zhou Hanzhang over and showed a hint of surprise. "You're going to put him in your school dormitory?"

Chen Moran nodded, "He's a bit special, living together makes it easier for me to do my research."

Zhou Hanzhang: ...What do you mean by "some special"?

She looked at the old man Mo Xuan fishing and vaguely saw a trace of pity on his face.

Looking again, the old man's expression returned to normal; everything that had just happened seemed like an illusion.

You must have misread it.

However, living here is better than living in the front dormitory. Since he has already accepted living in the boys' dormitory, a better environment will make him feel happier.

After Chen Moran left with Zhou Hanzhang, Mo Xuan shook his head and sighed repeatedly, "Poor child, so handsome, what a pity..."

Zhou Hanzhang naturally didn't hear these words.

She followed Chen Moran to the front of the school building, where a boy was fiddling with a medicine bottle.

The boy had a handsome face with delicate features and slightly pale skin.

He was wearing a dark blue robe with faint herbal patterns embroidered on it.

A dark belt was tied around his waist, from which hung several small bottles and jars.

He wore a pair of simple cloth shoes, which were still covered in mud.

Zhou Hanzhang's heart skipped a beat. Could he really be that unlucky?

Have I already encountered one of these four oddballs, and now I have to encounter another one?

When the man saw Chen Moran bringing a newcomer over, he immediately stopped what he was doing and walked over.

"This must be the new junior brother, right? He's really handsome. Hello, junior brother, I'm your senior brother, Shen Moli."

Zhou Hanzhang was already in a state of turmoil; what he feared most had come to pass.

Seeing that Shen Moli was about to move forward, she cautiously took two steps back. "Greetings, Senior Brother. I am Zhou Hanzhang."

Chen Moran looked at his smiling face and smiled slightly as well, "This is the person I brought back, so don't get any ideas."

Shen Moli looked at Chen Moran with a smile, rubbed his hands together, and seemed to be thinking about something. "Senior brother is joking. I was just saying hello to the new junior brother."

Seeing him rubbing his hands, Chen Moran quickly pulled Zhou Hanzhang back two steps.

Seeing their reaction, Shen Moli curled her lip and said, "This is really boring."

Chen Moran didn't say much to him, but pulled Zhou Hanzhang directly into the house. He pointed to one of the empty rooms and said to him, "You will live in that room from now on. My room is next to yours. I'll go see if I can find you in the book. What's going on here?"

After saying that, he didn't pay any more attention and went back to his room, slamming the door shut behind him.

Zhou Hanzhang didn't mind. Oddballs are all quirky, so naturally they all have their own little quirks, which is acceptable.

Moreover, this is a rare find that can help improve one's living conditions.

She had originally planned to stay in a dormitory where several people lived together, but Chen Moran dragged her to this luxurious suite.

This was naturally the perfect solution for her, a woman disguised as a man.
