Just as Li Qing and others were communicating with Bai Yu, Gu Yan stood alone outside the hall, staring at the hall in the direction of his eyes. The expression on his face was extremely calm, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

However, at this moment, another chief of Jiangcheng, Zhao Liu, suddenly appeared beside Gu Yan, wearing a blue shirt and a jade hairpin on his head, and carrying it behind him with one hand. He smiled very elegantly, looked at Gu Yan's eyes, and then asked calmly: "Yan'er, how have you seen your chess recently?"

Gu Yan shook his head and replied in a calm tone: "I admire you and chase you..."

Zhao Liu smiled silently and shook his head, "If you don't study, if you don't think, if you don't study, you will be in danger."

Gu Yan looked up at Zhao Liu, nodded sincerely, and then asked back: "Where is Mr. Zhao? What are you busy with recently?"

Zhao Liu's eyes were filled with fatigue and sighed helplessly, "What else can I do? Isn't it the same as usual?"

Gu Yan chuckled, "Mr. Zhao said this very resentful!"

Zhao Liu sighed again and smiled meaningfully: "I am of course very worried about such a situation now! How can I not complain about it?"

Gu Yan nodded after hearing this, and agreed very much, but the expression on his face was not so convincing. "Sir, have you come up with any good ideas?"

Zhao Liu looked at the five people in the hall and shook his head slowly, "Mr. Bai will arrange everything, so I won't worry about him."

Gu Yan smiled again, "Sir is so open-minded that the students are ashamed!"

"Open-minded? Yan'er, you said this beautifully, but unfortunately you read it wrong. I'm not open-minded at all, and I even have a little revenge!" Zhao Liu also laughed.

Gu Yan was a little puzzled and asked curiously: "In this way, the student really wants to see how the teacher calls revenge to remember?"

Seeing the four people retreating from the hall, Zhao Liu said directly: "If nothing unexpected happens, you will see it soon. Now let's reunite with them!"

After saying this, Zhao Liu walked away directly, and the expression on his face once again turned into that cold look.

Gu Yan looked at Zhao Liu's back as he left, and his expression changed again and again. Finally, he sighed helplessly, "I am both a world-famous person!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Yan's expression changed to excitement and he happily met Li Qing and others.

The group gathered together, talking and laughing.

Only Xue Nian seemed to be an outsider at this moment, watching the elegant scholar who suddenly appeared coldly, and couldn't help but feel a hint of annoying feeling in his heart. However, he didn't know where to start with this annoyance. When he saw that scholar before, he felt it was not so obvious, but this time he felt it was extremely obvious. He saw the expression he had seen before on the face of the scholar, and the warm face was cold and the unique expression in the market. Xue Nian didn't like this scholar from the bottom of his heart.

"Xue Nian, he is Gu Yan, and he almost became Lu An's apprentice! Do you still remember?" Yuwen Chuan introduced with a smile.

Xue Nian smiled silly and nodded at Gu Yan.

Gu Yan laughed as usual, "Xue Nian, I haven't seen you for more than two years. Have you almost forgotten me?"

"How can it be! Only two years have passed, and the young master's temperament has become a little unaware of it. He is becoming more and more like a saint." Xue Nian said with a silly smile.

Hearing this, Gu Yan's expression became serious and respectfully bowed to Xue Nian, saying sincerely: "Gu Yan is ashamed of being accused of being accused of being a serious man."

This sudden etiquette scared Xue Nian and jumped aside, looking at Li Qing with a frightened look on his face.

Li Qing laughed and cursed, "Okay! You want to scare us to death after all this happening? Suddenly, I thought the city lord was back!"

Gu Yan blushed and said embarrassedly: "What my senior sister said is that she is rude and rude."

Yuwen Chuan punched him directly, "You nerd's character has never changed at all! When Lu An saw you like this, he would just be punished again."

Gu Yan said yes again, looked around again, and asked curiously: "By the way, where is Master Lu? Didn't you come back with you?"

Li Qing sighed and replied slowly: "He went to seclusion as soon as he came back."

"In retreat? Master Lu is so strong and hardworking. He is really a role model for us!" Gu Yan shook his head and sighed.

Li Qing also nodded, "This retreat should be extremely important to him, otherwise he would not be so anxious."

Xue Nian asked curiously: "This time the master comes out, his strength will at least reach a big step, right?"

Li Qing shook his head, "How could I know about this? But with Lu An's temperament, he would probably give us all a surprise."

"It just so happens that the situation is unstable. On the day when Master Lu comes out of seclusion, he will definitely soar into the sky, make a final decision, and make a big splash..." Gu Yan threw out a series of modifiers.

Even Li Qing couldn't listen to these exaggerated words, and quickly interrupted: "There is no need to flatter you, you should do what Lu An told me well, and try to understand the situation in Jiangcheng when he leaves the seclusion, and hope that the situation will not change significantly in the past few days."

The group nodded seriously.

Gu Yan said unscrupulously: "You can rest assured about this matter. I have been in Jiangcheng for so long, so I naturally have a very good understanding of the current situation."

Li Qing twitched slightly and said angrily: "Uncle Master dares not say that. You should just take care of your book. We will handle these things ourselves."

Gu Yan was immediately dissatisfied and kept clamoring to go out with Li Qing and the others tomorrow.

Li Qing was also extremely helpless and could not resist Gu Yan's tantrums, so he had to agree.

Bai Yu stood at the door and watched the children making noise there, with a very gratifying expression on his face. This scene reminded him of the past, and it seemed that he was like this. After reading too much, scholars naturally wanted to practice it. However, the ending was completely different from what was written in the book. It was only after suffering losses again and again that he came to this day, which was completely different from the geniuses in the rumor.

The scene in front of you is so similar now, it is simply a replica of the past.

At this time, a sigh suddenly came from beside me.

Bai Yu asked slowly, "What? Is it affectionate when I touch the scene?"

Zhao Liu shook his head.

"Why are you suddenly so emotional?" Bai Yu asked again.

Zhao Liu's brows trembled slightly and said slowly: "Suddenly I thought of something. Two or three years later, will these children in front of us still be by our side?"

Hearing this, Bai Yu's brows thundered wildly, and said in an extremely unkind tone: "You! It's a pity not to write a book! Every day I think about some things that are whining without any illness!"

Hearing this scolding, Zhao Liu burst into laughter and looked at Bai Yu apologetically, "Mr. Bai's words really touched my heart. I really have this leisure and elegance recently."

Bai Yu showed an extremely helpless expression, "You! I really don't know what you should say!"

Zhao Liu smiled faintly, "Although there are some small problems in Jiangcheng now, it is still easy to deal with with the talent of Bai Shi. It is not a big problem. Zhao can just take advantage of this gap and enjoy it."

When Bai Yu heard Zhao Liu say this, he glanced at him directly, "It's this time, you still have leisure and elegant!"

Zhao Liu nodded, "Of course, there is, the city lord is here, the white master is here, and the craftsman is here, what's there to worry about?"

Bai Yu was about to refute, but he seemed to be a little unaware of how to answer, so he could only nod, "The words are rough but not rough, but you don't want to give up. These days, these kids will be handed over to you. I want to see the people outside, how many days can they endure!"

"Master Bai, you have just been putting this bait for a day, and you hurriedly want to close the net. Isn't it too urgent?" Zhao Liu persuaded.

Bai Yu shook his head, "That's not what he said. These children are not that big. If they catch a big fish, the line breaks and the bait is gone, it will be a waste of money! It's enough if a small fish takes the bait."

Zhao Liu immediately understood what Bai Yu meant and said in convincingly: "With your prudence, I don't know how those people should win!"

After hearing this, Bai Yu shook his head and said helplessly: "Big fish and small bait, do you think I don't want to catch big fish!"

After saying this, he turned around and left angrily.

Zhao Liu was still standing there, looking at the children who were still talking and laughing not far away, and a faint smile appeared on his face. He was about to leave when he saw the familiar location in the hall, the location he had dreamed of.

After thinking for a while, Zhao Liu slowly walked into the hall, and then sat directly in the position that belonged to Bai Yu, in the main seat in the center of the hall.

After Zhao Liu sat down, his expression suddenly relaxed, and he couldn't help but let out a comfortable moan. Just as he was about to open his eyes and look into the distance, his brows frowned instantly, and an extremely depressing aura instantly enveloped him, as if the entire hall was squeezed on him. He couldn't sit still and immediately stood up from the cushion.

He gasped for two heavy breaths with lingering fear, took several deep breaths before he calmed down.

"Not everyone can sit in this position. This is not only the main center of the city lord's mansion, but also the main center of the craftsman city. It is not that simple to sit here. You scholars have a saying that if you give great responsibilities to this person, you must first make your mind and mind hard, and do your muscles and bones well. If you do, you must first sharpen your tools? That's about this. If you want to sit in this position, you can't do a bad foundation and you have to withstand it!" Lao Fang walked in from one side with a broom.

Listening to the warning like a reminder, Zhao Liu nodded helplessly, "What Lao Fang said is that I almost do, Bai Yu is much better than me."

Lao Fang burst out laughing, "This is hypocritical. The adult's sick body may disappear one day. Mr. Zhao's body is much better than that of the adult."

"I can sit on Bai Yu, but I can't sit on it. This is the difference between me and him." Zhao Liu shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Lao Fang stopped sweeping the floor, looked at Zhao Liu, and asked curiously: "Mr. Zhao really wants to sit in this position?"

"Doing things that ordinary people cannot do is the goal that our scholars have always pursued." Zhao Liu responded sincerely.

Hearing this, Lao Fang approached, stared at the futon for a while, and then kicked it gently, "Try it now?"

Zhao Liu sat down skeptically. He really didn't think about the feeling he had just now, but when he looked at the door, his brows frowned again, crooked!

Zhao Liu then realized that Lao Fang was playing tricks on him, so he stood up and said in anger: "You can kill but not be humiliated!"

Lao Fang laughed and quickly apologized to Zhao Liu, "Is this a futon? Where is it not a sitting place? Hehe!"

Zhao Liu's face turned red in an instant, "Do you think I'm ignoring this cushion? Humph!"

After saying this, Zhao Liu left in anger and was embarrassed.

Seeing Zhao Liu leaving angrily, Lao Fang sighed and slowly moved the cushion back to its original position. His expression was extremely disdainful and he was still cursing, "If you don't have that ability, don't think so much. If you don't have that ability, don't be tilted, can you sit down? I'm so shameless. He actually sneaked in and sat in the adult position. You can only do opportunistic things. It's still ten years early to sit here seriously..."

The next day.

As soon as Li Qing opened his eyes, he heard a lot of commotion coming from the mansion, and a sound full of energy echoed in the mansion.

Hearing this loud noise, Li Qing immediately stood up and walked out of the house.

As soon as I came out, I met Yuwen Chuan and others. Their faces were also confused and didn't know what was going on.

The few people followed the sound and met Lao Fang after walking a few steps.

Lao Fang stretched out his hand and stopped them directly, reminding him: "Don't worry about Miss Qing. Don't forget your current identity and you can't be exposed at will."

"Lao Fang, has something happened outside?" Li Qing asked directly.

"It's nothing big, it's just someone coming to talk to the adults." Lao Fang replied.

Li Qing frowned instantly and asked back, "What do you mean is someone coming to cause trouble?"

Lao Fang nodded and shook his head again, "Who has the courage to come to the city lord's mansion to cause trouble?"

"What's the noisy sound outside?" Li Qing looked at Lao Fang in confusion.
