Xiao Jiu remained silent and continued to listen to Mr. Qingxi's sermon.

"When my teacher saved you, you were only five years old. At that time, you knew how to hurt yourself to save your life. That's because you didn't believe that my teacher could save you, or you didn't want to make it difficult for your teacher, so

You would rather choose to save yourself."

"You are very smart, Xiao Jiu. You are very smart..."

Mr. Qingxi said two identical words in a row, but his tone was completely different. The former was more affirmative, while the latter was more emotional.

"Including being able to become the county magistrate today, suppressing all the families in Xun County, and even being as powerful as Xie Mengzhou's family, I have to say that you are far ahead of the other disciples."

"But Xiao Jiu...you are the one who worries me the most."

Mr. Qingxi sighed and looked at Xiao Jiu with soft and helpless eyes. His eyes were distant and deep, as if he saw a bumpy and extremely unusual future for him.

"It's the disciple's fault for letting the teacher worry about it." Xiao Jiu did not argue, but sincerely admitted his mistake. After saying this, he asked again, "Do you want a ruler?"

…

It's like this again. It's too self-conscious to admit a mistake, but you know you're wrong and refuse to repent.

Mr. Qingxi remained silent, his tone unclear, "Is it useful to punish you?"

Uh, no use.

Xiao Jiu himself also knew the implication of Mr. Qingxi's words. He felt a little embarrassed and wanted to touch the tip of his nose. His eyes shifted a little, "As long as the teacher can feel comfortable, the students can be punished."

There is respect for him, but what does Mr. Qingxi want more than this?

He directly asked Xiao Jiu, "Why are you approaching the Thirteenth Young Master?"

When he said this, his expression was serious and he was no longer as calm as before.

Xiao Jiu was silent.

His little disciple also has many little secrets of his own. Mr. Qingxi didn't want to ask about it, but the matter was so important that he was afraid that Xiao Jiu might accidentally take the wrong path.

Staring at his little disciple, he suddenly asked, "Do you want to interfere in the battle for the throne?"

As expected of Mr. Qingxi, even though Xiao Jiu had always behaved very harmlessly, after he revealed his minions and combined with his relationship with Zhou Wuping, Mr. Qingxi soon realized Xiao Jiu's hidden ambitions

Not small.

Xiao Jiu was slightly surprised and admitted frankly, "Teacher has already guessed it, so why bother asking again."

Thinking of his old friend and his own reminder, Mr. Qingxi had to admit that his young disciple was indeed not a law-abiding person, but had lofty aspirations.

A long sigh, "This road is not easy to walk..."

"Xiao Jiu, have you thought about it?"

"I've thought about it." He rarely called his name in such a heavy tone, and Xiao Jiu answered silently.

"Do you really want to choose the Thirteenth Young Master? Why him?"

Mr. Qingxi frowned when he saw this, and his words also contained a bit of confusion and confusion, as well as a hint of disapproval.

Zhou Wuping was not a good choice for the king, and he didn't believe Xiao Jiu couldn't tell.

"Because he is the disciple's only choice." Xiao Jiu was silent for a long time before slowly spitting out an answer.

The mist of the tea soup slowly dispersed in front of the two of them. In the mist, Mr. Qingxi's expression seemed to be stunned for a moment.

Another period of unspeakable silence passed, and Mr. Qingxi said, "Do you want to go to the royal capital?"

He asked the young disciple in front of him seriously.

"I think I will definitely go to the Royal Capital."

Xiao Jiu's voice was full of determination and self-confidence. Mr. Qingxi sighed, finally helpless, "Then you can go alone. When your third senior brother was fifteen, he yearned to travel, and I gave him permission to go. If you

You have also found the path you want to take, and I won’t leave you too much as a teacher here.”

"When do you want to go?" he asked.

Xiao Jiu showed a smile, his teacher is really a very open-minded old man, he has always been from the past to the present.

"Not now, we need to wait for the opportunity."

"Then you are still willing to choose the Thirteenth Young Master? There are more than ten young masters in the king, but you have only met one, and you will make up your mind without looking at the others?"

Mr. Qingxi asked again.

He thought that Xiao Jiu had no choice but to choose Zhou Wuping as his assistant because he was trapped in a small place like Xun County, so he wanted to let him fly high and do whatever he wanted.

Xiao Jiu also understood what he was thinking, but shook his head and laughed, "By fate, we are not only friends of life and death, but also the relationship of master and minister. No matter how good the other young masters are, they will always be slightly inferior to him in my heart. Furthermore, I

Now that you have chosen him, you should not choose anyone else."

"My teacher, don't you remember that I taught you to be so pedantic?"

It’s not like he couldn’t change jobs because he recognized Zhou Wuping as his master. Mr. Qingxi was puzzled and felt even more strange.

Xiao Jiu knew what his teacher meant, but he still replied, "I can't say enough."

Mr. Qingxi couldn't help but feel regretful. He knew how outstanding his young disciple was, and he was already very talented in his teens. Such a person actually chose to assist a cowardly and incompetent Zhou Wuping to rise to power, which made people feel a bit worthless.

But deep down in his heart, he was even more worried. He was afraid that Xiao Jiu's ambition was far greater than he thought...

He looked at Xiao Jiu and asked hesitantly, "That's it?"

Did Xiao Jiu really choose Zhou Wuping because of this?

"That's all."

Xiao Jiu shouted loudly, and looked straight at Mr. Qingxi without dodge, which made Mr. Qingxi believe most of what he said.

"That's all...since you have made up your mind, it's not convenient for me as a teacher to give you more advice."

"You can go on your own."

His voice was low, like a helpless sigh.

Mr. Qingxi loved landscapes all his life and was indifferent to fame and fortune. The King of Qi could not let him set foot in the court several times.

He came to teach and educate people, and he originally lived a leisurely and comfortable life, but now he has a disciple like Xiao Jiu who is restless and makes him worry, which is really distressing.

Xiao Jiu glanced at his teacher and knew that it was useless to say anything, so he could only bow slowly and said, "Disciple, please leave."

Halfway through, he remembered something again, and then said, "This time, I would like to thank the teacher for sending the academy disciples to help outside the city, and also thank all the brothers for their hard work. When this matter comes to an end, Xiao Jiu will be very grateful.

"

Yes, at the beginning, he entrusted Mr. Qingxi to send academy students to evacuate refugees outside the city, count the number of people, distribute supplies, etc. He worked hard for a long time before settling tens of thousands of people outside the city as quickly as possible.

This incident is a huge favor Xiao Jiu owes to everyone at Qingshan Academy, and he should be grateful.

After hearing this, Mr. Qingxi just waved his hand gently and didn't take it to heart. He asked him to leave without saying anything.

When Xiao Jiu exited the door and turned around to walk to the courtyard gate, he saw Yu Luo, who obviously also saw him.

Their eyes met, Xiao Jiu looked away as if nothing had happened, walked forward, and then passed her by, leaving only one sentence, "Tan Yi, I'm back."

When the big man standing in front of Yu Luo heard this, he immediately grinned and responded loudly, "Good luck to the Lord!"

The two of them strode away with their backs to the people behind them, as if they didn't see Yu Luo.

Xiao Jiu's indifference and disregard made Yu Luo feel very embarrassed, and his face became ugly, but he didn't call out to Xiao Jiu, so what could he say?

The trace of gratitude that flashed through my mind at first disappeared. I pursed my lips, suppressed the anger and shame rising in my heart, and went into the house to find Mr. Qingxi.
