Finally, Qin Yiyi stood up with a soft sigh.
âThank you, martial uncle.â
She raised her hand and received a string of bracelets from Old Master Zhao. It was warm and cool in her hand.
She couldnât help but raise her eyebrows.
Good stuff!
It could actually calm her heart in an instant!
It would be a waste not to accept itâ¦
Qin Yiyi thought for a moment, then reached out and took out a small jade pendant that she had casually carved and played with. She handed it over to him.
âThis is something I made for fun, uncle-master. Please donât mind its shabbiness.â
âHaha, I donât mind it.â
Old Man Zhao was very happy.
He played with it back and forth in his hand, and even raised his eyebrows at the angry old Professor Zhou who was sitting at the side.
The meaning was very obvious.?âLook, your good disciple gave it to me.â
Looking at Old Man Zhouâs angry face, he knew that this girl had probably given him a gift first.
It was no wonder that old man Zhao was causing trouble thereâ¦
Qin Yiyi turned around and looked at the teacher who had been barely acknowledged by her. She shook her head and took out a few more jade pieces to give away.
There were three or four old men who knew Old Professor Zhou.
She had five jade pendants on her.
The last one was a carved image of a Jade Buddha. She handed it over with a smile.
âTeacher, this is yours. Take a look and tell me if you donât like it. Iâll prepare what you want and give it to you later.â
These words made old Professor Zhou instantly happy.
His eyes narrowed into slits. âOkay, okay, okay. Iâll tell you later when Iâve decided what I want.â
âGood girl.â
Although he said that he would tell her later when he had decided what he wanted.
But!
His action of reaching out to take the Jade Buddha from Qin Yiyiâs hand was very fast!
It was as if he was afraid that Qin Yiyi would go back on her word.
Qin Yiyi,ââ¦â?Forget it, this old man is quite cute. Iâll just acknowledge him as a teacher.
Moreoverâ¦
Qin Yiyi had a vague feeling just now.
There was karma between her and this old man!
Since that was the case, there was no harm in acknowledging him as a teacher.
âAll of you are very stingy. You actually only returned a gift after accepting my discipleâs things. You donât even have a greeting gift anymore, right?â
Accepting his discipleâs thingsâ¦
The most important thing was that he had successfully lured such a good little girl to his side as his disciple.
Professor Zhou was very happy!
While he was happy, he couldnât help but turn around and have the intention to pick on the few old men beside him, âEach and every one of you is too kind. Donât make my disciple call you martial uncles and martial aunts one by one. You didnât even give her a gift for your first meeting and even let my disciple give you a gift first. Even if you are willing to give up your old face, I canât afford to lose face!â
The corners of the old menâs mouths twitched.
One of them pointed at Old Professor Zhou and opened his mouth, wanting to say something.
Then, he thought of something and changed the topic decisively.
âQin Yiyi, right? Your teacher is right. We have known this old thing for many years. Since you called us uncle-master, we naturally canât forget about the greeting gift. How about this? Iâll send someone to send you a gift later where you live.â
âRight, right, right. Little girl, where do you live? You look like you are still in school. Which school is it? I will send someone to send it to you.â
The few old people all thought that Qin Yiyi was from the capital.
She did not explain much. She just smiled and told them her address. Then, she accompanied the few old people and chatted for a while before she got up to leave.
Qin Yiyi was about to leave.
Old Professor Zhou also got up directly.
âYiyi, wait a moment. Iâll send you back to the hotel.â
The newly-acknowledged master and disciple didnât take a taxi or anything. They slowly walked towards the hotel.
On the way, Qin Yiyi didnât ask Old Professor Zhou about the trouble.
Old Professor Zhou naturally didnât say much. He only gave her the address when he heard that she was going to stay in the capital for another two days.
âYou must come over before you leave. Iâll introduce you to your teacherâs wife.â
When he mentioned his wife, Old Professor Zhou was all smiles.
âYour teacherâs wifeâs dishes are really delicious. Weâll let her make whatever you want to eat later.â
Qin Yiyi smiled and nodded. After seeing Old Professor Zhou get into the car, she turned around and returned to the hotel.
In the room.
Shang Jingheng did not return.
She sat and read for a while, then watched two episodes of the television series to pass the time.
Shang Jingheng finally appeared a while later.
Qin Yiyi raised her eyebrows when she saw him. âHave you eaten?â
âNot yet. Are you going to eat with me?â
Although Qin Yiyi had eaten a little with old professor Zhouâ¦
She felt a little hungry at this moment, so she stood up and nodded.
âThen letâs find something to eat in the hotel restaurant?â
Shang Jingheng, who had turned around and walked outside, stopped and turned around to look at her.
âAre you tired?â
âIâm not tired. Iâm just afraid that youâll be tired.â
Qin Yiyi glanced at him. Although he looked as energetic as usual, the occasional hint of fatigue in his eyes could not fool her.
She did not know why this person had come to the imperial cityâ¦
In the next moment, she suddenly raised her head to look at Shang Jingheng.
After thinking for a moment, she looked at him again carefully.
Her brows furrowed slightly. She glanced at Shang Jingheng and softly followed his footsteps.
âWhere are we going to eat? Do you have a place in mind?â
âYes, I want to bring you somewhere. However, youâre right. Thereâs no rush. Iâll bring you there tomorrow.â
Qin Yiyi nodded. âTomorrow then.â
The two of them went to the hotel restaurant and ordered two dishes before returning to their rooms.
Shang Jingheng made some tea and the two of them sat down to talk.
Qin Yiyi pursed her lips and looked at him again, her eyes thoughtful.
âWhy? Is there something wrong with me? Otherwise, why do you keep looking at me?â
Shang Jingheng vaguely knew that Qin Yiyi was slightly different.
But he never took it to heart.
In his opinion, people had to lose something to gain something.
No matter what ability Qin Yiyi had, if she used it, she would have to pay a price.
He didnât want her body to be damaged at all!
Therefore, after asking softly, he immediately changed the topic.
âI heard that someone came to look for you, and it was unpleasant. Do you want me to help you deal with it?â
Qin Yiyi knew that he was talking about Teacher Zhu.
She smiled and shook her head. âNo need. She probably wonât be able to create any trouble for me for the time being.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
In a few days, there would be a big turn of events on Professor Zhouâs side.
When the person surnamed Zhu and the person behind her realized that the matter was already very disadvantageous to them, it would be too late for her to deal with the aftermath.
How would she have time to deal with her then?
This was also one of the main reasons why she was relieved that Professor Zhou would leave on his own and did not say anything.
This was a calamity that old professor Zhou could survive on his own.
If she interfered, it might become unpredictableâ¦
Taking a deep breath, Qin Yiyiâs gaze fell on Shang Jingheng once again.
âWhere did you go today?â
âWhatâs wrong?â
Although he was asking, Shang Jingheng still thought about it very seriously and then spoke a few words. Finally, he looked at Qin Yiyi quietly.
âDonât worry about me. I know my own matters.â
Pausing for a moment, he said softly, âEven if some people are bent on dealing with me, believe me. It wonât be so easy.â
Qin Yiyi glanced at him and shook her head,
âYou have the aura of death on you.â
It was very thick.
