As soon as Su Liang changed her clothes and opened the window, she saw Lao Bai slamming Lao Mu into the water.

Lao Bai was too tough, Qi Jun and Ling Dong didn't dare to do anything rashly, so they all called Su Liang.

As soon as he made a sound, Su Liang jumped down from the second floor of Yuanming Pavilion. He tapped his toes on the edge of the lake. Seeing Lao Mu struggling to drown, he immediately jumped into the lake, swam over, grabbed him, and dragged him to the shore.

Qi Jun and Liao Dong rushed over, one grabbed Lao Mu and the other grabbed Su Liang.

Lao Mu didn't know how to swim. He was patted on the back by Qi Jun. His face turned pale and he couldn't help but cough.

Su Liang was fine except that she was soaked. After standing still, she looked at Lao Bai.

Lao Bai fell down among the broken porcelain pieces of the wine jar, looking up at Su Liang infatuatedly, still muttering "little junior sister" in his mouth.

Seeing that Su Liang was about to go over, Liao Dong subconsciously held her back. She felt that Lao Bai's mental state was unstable and she was afraid that he would attack Su Liang.

"It's okay." Su Liang brushed away the honeysuckle and walked to Lao Bai. Seeing that his bare feet were bleeding after stepping on the broken porcelain, he put the broken porcelain aside and reached out to pull him.

Lao Bai moved back as if he was suddenly frightened, "Junior sister is dead...you are not...who are you..."

"Senior, my name is Su Liang. This is my home. You were brought here by Lao... Lao Jin." Su Liang said warmly.

Lao Bai grabbed his messy hair, "Lao Jin... Lao Jin... That bastard tricked me into finding a good apprentice... There is good wine... How can there be a good apprentice..."

Su Liang pointed at herself, with a smile as bright as a flower, "That's me!"

When Lao Bai saw Su Liang's smiling face, he became dull again and allowed her to pull him up. Although he is very powerful in combat, he is unable to stand firmly on flat ground.

Lao Mu, who was not far away, was furious when he saw Su Liang helping Lao Bai, "Damn it! Whose disciple are you? Why don't you come over and help me?"

Qi Jun and Ling Dong both rushed to help Lao Mu, but they were pushed away by him, "Smelly girl, if you don't come, I won't get up!"

Su Liang called Qi Jun over and wanted to hand Lao Bai over to him, "Take this senior to clean up."

Unexpectedly, as soon as Qi Jun reached out his hand, Lao Bai, who was clearly unable to walk on his own, slapped him away...

Lonicera pulled Qi Jun back before he fell into the lake.

Qi Jun exclaimed, "That senior is so strong!"

There was no other way, Su Liang could only ignore Lao Mu, helped Lao Bai into Yuanming Pavilion, asked him to sit down, and poured him a glass of warm water.

Lao Bai listened to Su Liang's words, but the result was that he fainted immediately after drinking a glass of water...

Su Liang had no choice. This man was a volcano that could erupt at any time. He could only let him "sleep" first and then make long-term plans.

Then Su Liang went out and asked Qi Jun to take Lao Bai away, wash him clean, put dressing on his wounds, and change his clothes.

When Su Liang went to help Lao Mu, he couldn't pull him up, so he simply sat on the ground next to him.

"It's already soaked anyway. You can dry it before going back." Su Liang said calmly.

Lao Mu glared at Su Liang fiercely, "Do you think his martial arts is better than mine and you dislike me?"

Su Liang shook his head, "Lao Bai has great martial arts skills, but he is short."

Lao Mu suddenly had a sense of superiority and tried to suppress his laughter but couldn't, "Hahahaha! That's right! That drunkard is just a dwarf compared to me!"

"Master, aren't you friends?" Su Liang asked.

Lao Mu twisted the water out of his hair and said angrily, "I am most afraid of water! I will break up with him today!"

Su Liang chuckled, "He is not clear-headed. Master, please don't argue with him."

Lao Mu hummed, "He doesn't even know who you are, so you're so nice to him?"

Su Liang said seriously, "If Master is unhappy, then throw him out."

Lao Mu gave Su Liang a roll of his eyes, "Don't act with me!"

"Does master know who the junior sister he is talking about is?" Su Liang asked.

Lao Mu shook his head, "We are drinking buddies, how did I know this? Even if she is alive, she must be an old woman."

Su Liang felt that the "little junior sister" must be an extremely important person to Lao Bai, and he should not be confused. Maybe she does look a bit like Lao Bai's junior sister when she was young. I'll have to ask him when he wakes up.

"Didn't you say you wanted to make delicious food for me?" Lao Mu had been thinking about it.

Su Liang pulled him up, "Master has eaten all the snacks Yan Yu brought. Are you still hungry?"

"Snacks are not rice!" Lao Mu shook his head, "You don't even know, in order to carry that drunkard back, I had to keep looking for him to drink on the way. I was exhausted. Who am I doing this for!"

"Master has worked hard for me." Su Liang called Liandong over, "You take my master to wash up, change clothes, and take a rest. I will cook. What does master like to eat?"

"Meat!" Lao Mu's voice was loud.

"Okay!" Su Liang said no problem.

Lao Mu and Lao Bai were both arranged in Qi Jun's courtyard, not far from Yuanming Pavilion.

By the time Qi Jun gave Lao Bai a bath and Lao Mu took a bath himself, Liandong had already left the house and went to the Yan Family Embroidery Village to pick up two big bundles. They were clothes bought for the two old men respectively. They had everything from head to toe. .

When Lao Mu put on new clothes and went to see Lao Bai, he saw him lying quietly on the bed, neatly dressed, with his hair and beard neatly taken care of by Qi Jun. He looked completely different from before.

"Boy, comb my hair too." Lao Mu scratched his messy hair and looked at Qi Jun, "Brush it well and you'll look better than him!"

Qi Jun smiled and nodded, "No problem. Senior, please take a seat."

Not long after, Lao Mu held up the bronze mirror and looked left and right, a little afraid to recognize it, "Why do I feel younger all of a sudden?"

After tying up his hair, shaving off his beard, and wearing new clothes that were well-cut and made of excellent materials, Lao Mu, who was already tall and thin, improved his temperament by several steps, looking fresh and neat.

Qi Jun praised him a few times, and Lao Mu asked him, "Who is more handsome, me or Lao Bai?"

Lao Bai was still asleep and couldn't hear him anyway. Of course Qi Jun said that Lao Mu was good-looking.

Lao Mu looked satisfied. Soon after, when Qi Jun was chased and beaten by Lao Bai, he realized a philosophy of life: some multiple-choice questions, no matter what you choose, you will be wrong...

Su Liang carefully prepared a table of meals for Lao Mu, including Braised Fish and Spicy Pork Duck, Sweet and Sour Short Ribs, full of meat, and the staple food was Thousand Layer Meat Pancakes.

Ling Dong came to tell Su Liang that Lao Mu was asking Qi Jun to shave his beard and came over soon.

Su Liang put a plate of each dish out, put the two meat patties that had just come out of the pot into the food box, and gave them to Lonicera, "Send to the Changxin Marquis Mansion."

Rendong was stunned, "Master, please send food to Marquis Changxin..." We had agreed to break up...

Su Liang went to fry the remaining meatloaf, "Go back quickly and try not to be seen."

"Oh." Lonicera had no choice but to carry the food box, climb over the wall and leave the house, secretly delivering food to the Changxin Marquis' house.

Su Liang walked into Yuanming Pavilion with the prepared food and saw Lao Mu sitting in it with a new look.

"Is this my master? Where did this handsome man come from?" Su Liang pretended to be surprised.

Lao Mu instantly became happy, "These clothes are not bad."

Su Liang smiled and set out the food, "Master, as long as you like it, you can buy whatever you like in the future, and don't save money for me."

After hearing this, Lao Mu felt so comfortable! When he ate the food cooked by Su Liang, Lao Mu was even more happy, "My dear disciple, your skills are really good!"

Su Liang ate a little with Lao Mu, offered tea instead of wine, and officially became his master.

The more Lao Mu saw Su Liang, the more he liked him. He had long forgotten about the genius successor he really wanted to recruit.

At this time, Gu Ling also ate the all-meat feast made by Su Liang, which he loved to eat. The important thing was that Su Liang was still thinking about his meal, which made him feel much brighter all of a sudden.

You know, since he met Su Liang until now, he is no longer used to living alone...

Lao Mu ate and drank enough and went to sleep.

Su Liang told Qi Jun and Liandong that Lao Mu's surname was Jin, and she could call him Lao Jin or Jin Lao. He was a master she recognized before and would live with her in the future.

While Lao Bai was sleeping, Su Liang took his pulse. Because he had been drinking excessively all year round and had an extremely irregular life, despite his high martial arts value, he had serious physical problems and was on the verge of collapse.

Su Liang planned to treat him well first and make sure he stopped drinking. After getting a preliminary understanding of his situation, he would talk about becoming a disciple.

In the afternoon, Xing Yusheng and Lin Xueqing came to see Su Liang. They are still the same, a sweet couple. Su Liang explained that she was not deceived by Gu Ling, and that the fake marriage was a conspiracy between the two. Xing Yusheng said that he would take back his curse on Gu Ling...

After seeing them off, Su Liang made a special trip to Lin's house, met with Lin Shuzhi, talked to him about Liang's trip, and took the pulse of his two sisters-in-law. Lin Boyan's daughter-in-law was about to give birth, and Su Liang said that she would come to deliver the baby at that time, so that she could relax and not be too nervous.

In the evening, Su Liang was about to leave and said there were guests at home. Lin Bojun chased her out and gave her a letter, "Lin Wei asked me to leave it to you alone."

Su Liang felt strange. If Lin Wei has a letter for him, he can leave it in Xuanbei City and have Xing Ji or Qi Jun deliver it to her. She will receive it faster, and she should let Lin Bojun give it to her alone...

"I'll take a look when I get back." Su Liang took it, "Second brother, there's no need to send it away. Go back quickly."

When I got home, it was getting dark.

Su Liang opened Lin Wei's letter. There were two pages inside. The first page only had one line, "There is a sentence that I have thought about and decided to tell you...", and then, at the bottom of the second page, There is a line that says, "Su Xiaoliang, see you soon! Haha!"

Su Liang seemed to be able to see Lin Xin laughing while writing this mysterious letter...

Qi Jun bought dinner from Wanjia Restaurant. Wan Hui and Lu Yu accompanied their elders and took Zheng'er back to Qingyang City after the Chinese New Year. They were not in the capital at the moment.

Su Liang wrote an order and asked Qi Jun to give it to the shopkeeper of Wanjia Restaurant. It was for the meals ordered by Su Mansion and Changxin Hou Mansion. The meal list for seven days in total was clearly written down on what meals were delivered at what time each day and how much they were.

Wanjia Restaurant has never taken over this kind of "private customization" business, but since it was Su Liang's request, they naturally did not respond.

When Lao Mu learned that Su Liang had no time to cook every day, the boss was not happy because after all, he only had one meal.

Su Liangxiao said that she would do it when she had time, but she had something to be busy with next.

"What are you busy with?" Lao Mu asked.

"Treat Lao Bai, and when he gets better, if he is willing to accept me as his disciple, there will be a lot to learn." Su Liang looked serious.

"I am also your master, so you don't want to learn anything from me?" Lao Mu said sourly.

Su Liang smiled and said, "I'm not that good at it. Master should go and teach someone. But take it easy these few days. Someone is staring at him, and we won't talk until his eyes are gone. Master can give him some drawings first." Let him figure it out for himself."

Lao Mu sighed deeply, "There is no good food, so I have to rush to find that annoying boy!"

"Master, Wanjia Restaurant is owned by my sisters. The dishes I order are all delicious, no worse than my cooking." Su Liang said.

"It's different anyway." Lao Mu hummed, "Forget it, it's not good to always let your delicate little girl cook in a smoky manner, so I'll just listen to you."

Regarding this matter, although Lao Mu wanted to eat the food cooked by Su Liang himself, he admired Su Liang's attitude of not being polite at all and not cooking when he had no time. On the one hand, he likes Su Liang's drive for progress. He wants to learn poison techniques and will not miss the opportunity if he gets the chance. On the other hand, it made him feel that Su Liang did not treat him as a guest, but as one of his family members. It's like your own little daughter acting like a spoiled child. She's spoiled before it's too late, so there's no way she should be spoiled.

Su Liang had told her that even in the middle of the night, if Lao Bai showed signs of waking up, she would be called immediately.

Therefore, that night, Qi Jun stayed up watching Lao Bai, and Su Liang didn't sleep either while sorting out the books he brought back from Liang Kingdom.

When she heard Qi Jun calling her from below, Su Liang immediately went downstairs.

"I just saw him move his hands, but he hasn't opened his eyes yet," Qi Jun said.

"Thank you for your hard work." Su Liang said.

Qi Jun smiled and said, "Master, don't always be so polite."

"Oh, I'm trying to win people's hearts." Su Liang looked serious.

Qi Jun: ...His master is best at talking nonsense seriously.

When Su Liang saw Lao Bai, he opened his eyes.

Su Liang waved her hand and signaled Qi Jun to go out first. She sat down by the bed and said, "Senior, do you still remember me? I am Su Liang. This is my home. Senior was invited here by my master Lao Jin."

Lao Bai's eyes were confused at first. Looking at Su Liang, he gradually became clearer. He opened his mouth and said in a hoarse voice, "Good...apprentice?"

Su Liang couldn't help laughing, "Yes. I am the good disciple that Lao Jin wants to bring you to find."

"Little girl...how old are you...who is your mother..." Lao Bai asked in a weak voice.

"I just turned sixteen. My grandfather is Su Yuanzhou, and I don't know who my mother is." Su Liang shook his head. She felt as if Lao Bai was looking at another person through her, his eyes were affectionate and full of regret, probably thinking of the "little junior sister" again.

Su Liang smiled, "Do I look a bit like my senior's junior sister?"

Lao Bai shook his head slightly.

Su Liang was feeling strange and heard him whisper, "No...it's a bit like...it's too similar..."

"My mother was married to my father when he was out on business. She was both killed before she could return home. Maybe I have some connection with senior's junior sister." Su Liang analyzed, "If senior can tell the junior junior sister's identity, I will You can investigate.”

Lao Bai fell silent, his eyes still fixed on Su Liang's face. After a long time, he spoke again, "No... no..."

Su Liang nodded, "Okay." It seemed that Lao Bai didn't want to talk about his junior sister, nor did he want her to check anything.

"Senior has been drinking too much for many years, and his body is at the end of its strength. Next, we need to stop drinking and take good care of ourselves." Su Liang said.

"Why..." Lao Bai looked at Su Liang and asked.

Su Liang asked, "What?"

"Why are you so nice to me..." Lao Bai said in a deep voice.

Su Liang looked serious, "The thing is like this. Lao Jin is my master, and I want to learn poison. He said that you, senior, seem to be a master of poison, so I asked Master to invite you over."

"Poison..." Lao Bai frowned slightly, "Why do you want to learn that?"

Su Liang mentioned the time someone poisoned her and almost harmed her friends, "I don't want to harm others. The first thing is to protect myself, my relatives and friends. You don't have to do it, but I have to know how to do it."

But Lao Bai shook his head, "I don't accept disciples."

"That's it..." Su Liang was very disappointed. It seems that Lao Bai is indeed a poison master, but he is unwilling to accept a disciple.

"But I can teach you." Lao Bai continued.

Su Liang's eyes lit up, "Really?"

Lao Bai's eyes were a little confused again, "Whatever you want to learn, I know how to teach you...but I don't accept apprentices, so don't call me master..."

Su Liang felt that there must be some reason, so he asked directly. Lao Bai sighed, "There is a crazy woman who always makes trouble for me... If she knows that you are my apprentice, you will not be able to live in peace..."

"I see." Su Liang felt that Lao Bai was so kind to her because of her face, otherwise things would not go so smoothly.

But no matter what, her goal has been achieved.

"Senior, are you hungry?" Su Liang asked.

Lao Mu's sour voice came from outside the door, "I'm hungry!" He heard some movement here and came over to see Lao Bai.

Su Liang stood up with a smile, "Senior, rest first, I'll prepare some food and then come back."

Lao Bai followed Su Liang's figure with his eyes until he couldn't see him anymore, and then he sighed deeply, with water shining in his eyes...

Su Liang went out and saw Lao Mu standing outside yawning.

"Is he awake? Is he not crazy? Has he agreed to accept you as his disciple?" Lao Mu asked three times.

Su Liang nodded, "I'm awake. But I won't accept disciples."

Lao Mu frowned, "He doesn't know poison? Still he doesn't like you?"

Su Liang shook his head, "Yes, it's not that he looks down on me, it's that he thought his apprentice was in trouble and said he could teach me, but he doesn't have the title of master and apprentice."

Lao Mu was stunned for a moment, "Why did Jiu Mengzi suddenly become so serious?"

Su Liang smiled and said, "I'm going to cook some porridge for Lao Bai. Master, do you want to eat it?"

Lao Mu looked disgusted and said, "If you don't want to eat, I won't eat!" After saying that, he went back to his room to sleep.

When Su Liang cooked the porridge and brought it over, Lao Bai was still awake and refused to feed him. He sat up by himself and drank the bowl of porridge slowly, and then drank the medicine Su Liang gave him.

"How should I call senior?" Su Liang asked.

"Just call me Lao Bai..." Lao Bai looked tired, "Your name is Su Liang?"

Su Liang smiled, "Yes."

"Well," Lao Bai nodded slightly, "Then I'll call you Xiao Bai."

Su Liang: ...Xiaobai is just Xiaobai, as long as he is happy...

"Why do you worship Lao Jin as your teacher? Do you want to be a carpenter?" Lao Bai expressed confusion.

Su Liang shook his head, "I have a friend who wants to be a carpenter, and I became his apprentice by the way."

"What do you want with such useless masters?" Lao Bai asked.

Su Liang looked serious, "If someone bullies me, I can ask Master for support."

Lao Bai nodded, "If Lao Jin can't do it, I will support you."

Su Liang smiled broadly, "So, senior, are you really a master of poison?"

Lao Bai shook his head, "No."

Su Liang raised his eyebrows and heard Lao Bai say, "He's not a master, he's a poison sage."

Su Liang: ...I can see that this old man is a bit arrogant at heart...

After drinking the medicine, Lao Bai quickly fell asleep. Su Liang asked Qi Jun to rest too, so there was no need to guard him. She probably "conquered" this alcoholic lunatic with amazing fighting power by relying on her face, and the "danger" was lifted.

Su Liang returned to Yuanming Pavilion. As soon as she entered the room, she saw someone sitting by the window, and all the books she had not finished sorting were neatly placed on the shelf beside her.

"Master, are you sleepwalking?" Su Liang said with a smile.

Gu Ling looked her over and asked, "How's it going?"

Su Liang walked over and sat down, recounted what happened after meeting Lao Mu and Lao Bai today, and finally said, "Maybe my life experience is related to Lao Bai's junior sister, but he doesn't want to say more now. Oh, maybe it’s just a coincidence. Master, are you here to keep an eye on me?”

Gu Ling shook his head, "I have sleepwalking." If Duanmu Yi asked, he would say that he was sleepwalking and didn't know where he went at night. As for the eyeliner, he has already thrown him out of the city.

Su Liang was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and gave a thumbs up, "Very good."

Gu Ling had heard of the Poison Saint, a legendary figure who had not appeared for many years and was said to be dead long ago.

"It's just drunkenness and dreaming, not real death." Su Liang was in a good mood.

"You learn from him and then teach me." Gu Ling said.

Su Liang nodded, "No problem. He is Lao Bai. If he calls me Xiao Bai, then you have to call me Xiao Bai. It's weird. He sounds like my son."

Gu Ling raised her hand and gently tapped Su Liang's forehead.

Su Liang frowned, "Master, why do you hit people?"

"I was sleepwalking. I don't remember the beating. You taught me that." After saying this, Gu Ling flew out of the open window and disappeared into the night like a plume of ink.
