A broader world awaits her to explore, rather than sitting in this small place of Ten Li Pu. Today's achievements may seem remarkable, but compared to the outside world, such as Lingjiang Province or the capital, they are nothing.
Living a simple life may be appealing, but that is built on a foundation of identity, status, and economic stability.
What Liu Qingxi thinks about is far beyond this piece of land.
Without her needing to say it, Liu Qingyan already knows her thoughts: "Sister, just follow your heart."
He is no longer the clingy kid; instead, he understands more and comprehends the hardships his sister endures to earn money for his education. Therefore, even during his time at home, he studies diligently outside of school hours.
With Yang Yichen as a role model who achieved top honors, his motivation to study has grown even stronger.
Moreover, he wants to be a support for his sister and become her strong backing.
After all, Yang Yichen became the top scholar in high school and has a relatively smooth path in the officialdom. Thus, for the two who are engaged, Liu Qingxi's status is somewhat weaker.
The more he studies, the more he understands the benefits of having a stable position. Undeniably, he deeply admires Yang Yichen as an older brother; however, no matter what, he cannot compare to Liu Qingxi's status.
In the future, only if he enters officialdom and with Liu Qingxi's powerful family support will he not suffer losses.
Of course, Liu Qingxi naturally does not know that Liu Qingyan has thought so much. If she knew, she would surely pat his head like an old man.
"Alright, but will you follow me or continue studying in Biqi Town?" Liu Qingxi always gives Liu Qingyan the right to choose independently.
Considering that his sister is going on a long journey and that he has learned enough from Master Zhu, perhaps going out to see the scenery and experience different customs would help broaden his horizons and enhance his insights for future development.
"I'll go with you." His bright eyes revealed determination.
"Good. However, next year you should try taking the exam. When the time comes, we’ll arrange for your household registration."
Liu Qingxi naturally considers that after several years of study, Master Zhu believes it is time for Liu Qingyan to participate in the County Examination. He has already arranged for him to take part in next year's County Examination. If they leave at this critical moment, subsequent matters must be properly arranged.
For example, where will he take the County Examination next year?
According to the regulations, household registration is in Linyi County, and the County Examination should be taken here. However, if the destination this time is the capital, which requires a month for a round trip, it would be inconvenient for the exam.
Fortunately, there is a provision in the Western Moon Law that allows one to participate in the Imperial Examination in other locations with an identification certificate issued by the local household registration office.
Therefore, to avoid the hassle of traveling back and forth next year, it is better to bring the household registration certificate.
"Well, sister, when are we leaving? I need to inform Master," Liu Qingyan said. After years of teaching him, their relationship was more like that of father and son rather than just teacher and student.
Master Zhu took great care of Liu Qingyan, which contributed to his current achievements. Of course, Liu Qingyan's own intelligence was also a significant factor.
As Liu Qingyan's mentor, Master Zhu naturally understood that his own abilities were no longer sufficient to provide Liu Qingyan with better assistance. He hoped that Liu Qingyan would participate in next year's County Examination and then pursue broader opportunities instead of being buried in this town.
While Liu Qingxi was busy with these matters, she did not forget to pay attention to her younger brother following her.
Originally, the plan to leave Biqi Town and Linyi County was not going to be executed so quickly; this time presented an opportunity.
In response to Liu Qingyan's inquiry, she thought for a moment: "I just recently had this idea. The Construction Team, the taverns in town, your identification documents, and arrangements with Master all need to be made. The exact departure time is yet to be determined, but it shouldn't take too long."
It is currently Hot Summer, and with such high temperatures, travel speed would be slow. It also depends on Yang Yichen's side.
Little did they expect that someone overlooked from the Yang Family would bring troublesome matters.
Just after finishing their conversation, the siblings discussed their general plans when someone came to visit.
"Miss, young master, a man around forty years old is here to visit; he is an acquaintance," Chunyu reported hurriedly due to the urgency of the visitor.
Although Liu Qingxi was puzzled, she still instructed Chunyu to bring him into the study. However, upon seeing the man in black clothing with an angry expression on his face, she was taken aback.
Before she could speak, the man interrupted her: "I won't waste words. You must know me; I am Yang Yichen's father. I'm here because I have something to discuss with you."
It turned out that the visitor was Yang Bingshan. From his tone, Liu Qingxi knew he meant trouble and he didn't give her a chance to respond.
"I admit you are very capable; a Young Lady like you has managed advanced industries on your own. As an elder, I feel ashamed in comparison. However, I am here regarding your engagement with Yichan. Although you two are already betrothed, you should have some self-awareness."
"You have no parents, so what if you have money? Without a strong identity backing you, you can't help Yichan, and instead, you'll only drag him down." Yang Bingshan frowned as he looked at the girl in front of him.
At just seventeen, Liu Qingxi had a natural charm about her; she was neither seductive nor coy, with a bright face that easily garnered goodwill.
Liu Qingxi didn't expect Yang Bingshan to humiliate her right off the bat, and the man's disdain sparked a deep sense of disgust within her.
However, she maintained her composure: "Did you come here today just to tell me this? To make me leave Yang Yichen? Then you've come for nothing. Your contempt for me is also contempt for your son; I believe he is not a man who would rely on a woman.
Moreover, with his abilities, he doesn't need to depend on anyone else and will naturally carve out his own path in the officialdom. You are mistaken; I will not part ways with him."
Yang Bingshan did not expect the girl to be so resolute. In his imagination, if he confronted her like this, she would surely recognize her situation and withdraw voluntarily. But who knew?
The man was panting heavily, his face flushed with anger. He didn’t even sit down on the nearby chair but stared at Liu Qingxi with intense hatred.
The anger boiling inside him made him want to raise his hand and slap her, but he suppressed it, feeling himself on the verge of madness.
He thought about the benefits of being backed by a Fifth Rank official; his future business would become increasingly smooth, and of course, Yang Yichen would also gain some advantages.
"You! You!" He pointed a trembling finger at Liu Qingxi: "How can you be so thick-skinned? Even after all this, you aren't even the slightest bit embarrassed?"
Liu Qingxi raised an eyebrow at the furious man, her expression unchanged and her heart calm: "What does this have to do with me?"
