I'm a big boss in Uncle Jiu's world

"Taoist priest Lin, Taoist priest Qin."

While the master and apprentice were talking, a beautiful figure wearing a white dress with wide sleeves came slowly over, bowed and saluted.

"Miss Bai." Uncle Jiu took Qin Yao and responded politely.

Bai Suzhen nodded slightly and sighed to Qin Yao: "I lost. I lost completely. That scholar is not a responsible person. He doesn't even have much backbone... I owe you a condition. What do you want me to do?"

Qin Yao: "I'm willing to admit defeat, that's good. I haven't decided what to ask you to do for the time being, so I'll just keep this condition until I think about it."

"Okay." Bai Suzhen said, suddenly looking into his eyes: "Are there no good people in this world?"

"Who said there isn't?" Qin Yao asked.

"Where is it?" Bai Suzhen's heart moved.

Qin Yao turned around and pointed at Uncle Jiu, and said firmly: "My master is a good person. If you don't believe me, you can ask Fahai."

Uncle Jiu: "..."

Bai Suzhen: "..."

A few days later.

West Lake Academy.

The distracted Xu Xian sat crookedly behind the lecture table, holding his chin in his palm, staring blankly into space, and at some point, he let out a faint sigh.

Under the desk, dozens of students imitated his example and let out a soft sigh: "Alas..."

Outside the classroom, a middle-aged teacher accompanying the old gentleman whispered: "It's been three or four days. I feel like I have lost my soul. I often sigh."

The old gentleman was silent for a moment, then turned around and said, "Let him come to Liuyuan to find me, and I will talk to him."

The middle-aged teacher nodded silently, watched the other party leave, knocked on the classroom door, and called out: "Teacher Xu, the dean is looking for you..."

Not long after.

In the garden full of willow trees, Xu Xian quickly came to the foot of a big willow tree and bowed to the old man sitting on the stone bench: "Students pay homage to the dean."

"What difficulties has Teacher Xu encountered recently?" the old gentleman asked warmly.

Xu Xian shook his head: "The students have not encountered any difficulties."

"Then why do you often lose your mind and sigh?" the old gentleman asked.

Xu Xian's expression paused, not knowing whether he should speak or not.

"Are you afraid that I will leak your information?"

"The student has absolutely no such idea." Xu Xian's heart skipped a beat and he said quickly: "To be honest, the student is trapped by love."

At the moment, he described his experience during this period in detail.

"No wonder you are trapped by love." After listening to him tell the story of what happened in the Bai Mansion, the old man shook his head helplessly: "Xu Xian, you did something wrong in this matter."

"Please give me some advice, Dean." Xu Xian cupped his hands and said.

"No woman will like a man who has no responsibility."

The old man said bluntly: "If you really like that girl Suzhen, you should face her brother who cares about being a good match, instead of letting her plead for you and explain to you. This shows that you are very cowardly and can't bear it. Seriously, who dares to pin their life's happiness on a coward?"

Xu Xian's heart trembled, and he suddenly understood the key point, and said hurriedly: "Is there a remedy?"

"There is little hope." The old gentleman sighed and said, "If you don't give up, go find Suzhen's brother now and tell him that for Suzhen's sake, you are willing to go to Beijing to take the exam, and you will definitely get a good name. Please Suzhen wait for you."

Xu Xian: "But... what if I fail to pass the examination?"

Old gentleman: "..."

An hour later.

With a weak heart and sweaty palms, Xu Xian returned to the door of Baifu and knocked on the door.

The one who opened the door was still Xiaoqing, standing guard at the door and asking expressionlessly: "Is something wrong, Mr. Xu?"

Xu Xian clenched his fist and said, "I'm looking for Brother Qin."

"Looking for Brother Qin?" Xiaoqing asked in surprise: "What are you looking for him for?"

"I want to talk to him about Suzhen."

"Wait a minute, I'll send you a message." Xiao Qing said and closed the door directly.

Inside the mansion, in the waterside pavilion.

Uncle Jiu discussed Taoism with Fa Hai, while Qin Yao and Bai Suzhen listened.

It's not as exaggerated as being intoxicated, but the combination of what you hear and your own insights will always produce a feeling of enlightenment.

At this time, Fa Hai, who was giving a lecture, saw Xiao Qing coming and immediately became silent, causing others to look outside the pavilion.

"Qin Yao, Xu Xian is looking for you." Xiao Qing stopped in front of the steps of the stone pavilion and said softly.

Qin Yao cupped his hands and said, "Miss Xiaoqing, please tell Xu Xian that I don't want to see him again. I hope he will be wise and leave on his own. If you continue to pester me, don't blame me for not remembering our old friendship."

For him, Xu Xian, or the role that this chess piece can play has already been fulfilled, and there is no need to get involved with him in the future.

After all, it's not like he didn't give the other party a chance, but who made him fail to grasp it?

"What, Brother Qin really said that?"

In front of the Bai Mansion, Xu Xian looked at Xiao Qing with a complicated expression.

Xiao Qing nodded: "Master Xu, please come back, and don't come back again in the future."

"No." Xu Xian said flatly: "I want to explain to Brother Qin personally that if he doesn't see me, I will wait here until he sees me."

"Then you wait slowly, I'm going back first." Xiaoqing didn't want to waste time on him, turned around and returned to the mansion, reaching out to close the door.

An hour.

Two hours.

Three hours.

…

Xu Xian waited from day to night, and then from night to day. Fatigue and hunger crazily consumed his energy. By the evening of the next day, he was completely exhausted.

He knew that if he continued like this, he would either die suddenly or starve to death, so after making sure that Qin Yao would not come out to see him, he chose to give up again.

Inside the mansion, by the lotus pond.

Bai Suzhen, who was sitting on a piece of bluestone, sighed quietly.

Although she had given up, Xu Xian's arrival still brought her a little comfort.

If the other party could persist, and it didn't take much longer, just a coma, could she still watch him die in front of her house?

But he didn't.

It seems that you have tried hard, but you have not persisted to the end. What is the use of this effort?

This time, I did not lose unfairly.

Noon the next day.

Without any warning, floods broke through Qiantang County. In an instant, countless houses collapsed and pedestrians were swallowed up by the water. Pedestrians in the distance were running wildly, but they could not outrun the speed of the water.

"The spring of nectar washes away evil and filth, and the light sprinkling of poplar branches disperses sorrow. I now recite the mantra to be clean and thorough..."

As the water spread, five figures appeared in the sky. Among them, the monk in white made seals with his hands to stop the rushing water waves.

"Miss Bai, take Miss Xiaoqing and save people quickly. Qin Yao comes with me, and we will block the embankment." Uncle Jiu said decisively.

Soon after, with the concerted efforts of the five people, a sudden natural disaster was eliminated. Except for a few unlucky people who were choked to death by the water flow, the flood did not cause many casualties.

However, the impact of this torrent gradually became apparent after the water receded.
