“Xiao Mochen.” Xue Yan cupped his hands towards Xiao Mochen.

Xiao Mochen casually returned the bow and smiled. “There’s no need for formalities since no one is looking, right? I have something to tell you. Tell the Ministry of Personnel Affairs not to look for me again. I really don’t want to be an official.”

At this point, he was begging Xue Yan.

Da Ling’s Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs was originally mainly responsible for the examination, promotion, and transfer of officials. Ten years ago, they had another important task, which was to find talents everywhere and place them in suitable positions to maximize their effectiveness. This way, they could better serve Da Ling and the people.

Because Mochen had always been talented, the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs would always send people to scout him.

However, he always wanted to be idle and free. He had never thought of becoming an official, so he rejected their advances every time.

After rejecting so many times, he originally thought that the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs would give up and would stop caring. Who knew…

“Did the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs come looking for you again?” Xue Yan was rather surprised.

Then, he felt quite happy. The current imperial court could no longer be compared to the imperial court of the past. All the officials were dedicated to Da Ling and the people.

As long as it was for the good of Da Ling and the people; they would do it.

“Exactly.” Xiao Mochen looked like he had a headache as he held his forehead. “How many times have I told them that I don’t want to be an official? I want to be a teacher. However, no one in the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs is listening to me. They keep coming to look for me. I’m not trying to hide from the people in the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs. I don’t even want to attend afternoon classes anymore in case they ask for me. I’ve already asked for leave from the Dean. I plan to go out for half a day to relax.”

In the end, he was getting frustrated with their persistence.

This was the first time he saw this good friend like this. Xue Yan couldn’t help but smile. “Alright, you should go relax. I’ll tell the people from the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs later.”

“Thanks.” Xiao Mochen immediately swept away the haze and planned to leave.

They chatted for a while more before they left.

Only then did Xue Yan look at Jiang Yue. Seeing that Jiang Yue was sending Xiao Mochen off without thinking about anything, his heart skipped a beat.

Jiang Yue wouldn’t like this type, right?

However, when he thought about how Mochen was already married, and his child wasn’t young anymore, Jiang Yue shouldn’t have had such thoughts. He heaved a sigh of relief, but he was also a little disappointed.

Jiang Yue didn’t notice that something was wrong with Xue Yan. She just felt that she quite admired Xiao Mochen’s attitude towards life. He stayed consistent and lived the way he wanted, but he never harmed the interests of others. If others were happy, he would be happy too.

In the past, she had heard Xue Yan say that he was quick-witted. After seeing him a few times, she discovered that this person was really quick-witted. Ordinary people really couldn’t live like this. He seemed to be an idle person, but he was extremely rational, magnanimous, and open-minded.

Just as Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were about to turn around and leave, the people from the Ministry of Official Personnel, who had been looking for Xiao Mochen, came over. When they saw the Emperor, they hurriedly bowed and greeted him.

Xue Yan told this person to leave.

This person immediately accepted the order. In the future, the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs would not send anyone to look for Xiao Mochen.

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan left Shengming Academy and did not drive the carriage. They handed the carriage to the secret guards who were keeping watch nearby. They asked them to send the carriage to the children’s big house. Then, each of them rode a horse home.

Before leaving the town, because there were people on the streets, they could not ride horses. Jiang Yue and Xue Yan only rode for a while before they got off their horses and walked side by side with their horses.
