Ye Xin was followed by two slightly older students, and the three of them entered the small pavilion together and sat down.
"Speaking of which, you also found yourselves in the line of fire today."
With a smile in his speech, Ye Xin introduced the two behind him to Su Ke, who turned out to be members of a branch of the Ye Family, also in the prime of their studies. After acquaintances were made, he explained the whole situation: "Not to conceal from you two, that Cui Young Master, before your arrival, had a little friction with us. Afterwards, considering the prestige of Lord Cui, Ye Xin had no choice but to temporarily retreat. Witnessing Brother Su's exchange with him, Ye Xin felt abashed, hence I took the liberty to come over and make your acquaintance."
"Oh, why is that?"
This piqued Su Ke's curiosity.
"It's really nothing. Just because of that question in the Spring Imperial Civil Service Examination."
