Don't be afraid, fairy, I'm blind

Chapter 378 I am not alone

The Mathematical Olympiad master strolled leisurely on the busy street.

The sun is shining today, and the Mathematical Olympiad Master is in a good mood.

Although Beiaozhou is still cold, this is actually the warmest time of the year in Beiaozhou.

In July, it would have been scorching summer in other continents. At this time of year, monks who are proficient in ice-attribute magic would become the objects of scramble in major cities.

While people in other continents were praying for a bowl of cool jelly to relieve the scorching heat, people in Beiaozhou were still roasting sweet potatoes that had been stored for half a year since winter.

Master Olympiad took a roasted sweet potato with a smile. He gently blew away the charcoal ash on the potato skin, and then peeled it carefully as if it were a precious work of art. The potato flesh was golden and soft, and looked very tempting, with a sweet aroma that hit his nose directly.

However, Master Olympiad did not rush to enjoy it himself, but broke off a large piece and handed it to his collar.

A ball of white fluffy stuff immediately emerged from his shirt collar. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a mischievous white cat. The white cat leaned forward, nibbled its delicate nose, and then immediately withdrew its nose in disinterest, apparently not wanting the roasted sweet potato.

"You are such a picky person, are you?" said Master Olympiad Mathematics with a laugh.

"I'm not a vegetarian." Xiao Bai Ze answered confidently.

Following a Master Dongxu, Bai Ze could speak whenever he wanted. Anyway, the sounds he made could only be heard by the Taoist priest Hua in front of him, so he didn't have to worry about others discovering that there was a monster here that could speak human language.

Upon hearing this, Master Aoshu smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Your master is so good to you that you have never suffered. When I was a child, I was very lucky to have a piece of roasted sweet potato to eat."

After saying this, the Mathematical Olympiad Master felt a little disappointed, and wondered if all older people would start to recall the past and think of the good times like this? And then use the hardships they have experienced to educate those children who are pampered...

Bai Ze was too lazy to correct You Su's claim that he was its owner.

But thinking back, although it had to hide from You Su everywhere and would get angry at his words from time to time, the boy had never treated it badly. If he had a deer leg, it would also have one of its.

"Then why didn't he come back with us?"

Bai Ze asked worriedly. Even though he didn't want to admit it, he was actually a little scared. He was afraid that the boy would abandon him and follow this flower Taoist priest who didn't seem like a good person.

"What you paid before was the deposit, and what you pay now is the final payment..." said the Master of Mathematical Olympiad with deep meaning.

With You Su's facilitation, Venerable Qianhua quickly changed his mind and adopted Venerable Aoshu's suggestion, and even generously promised to distribute Qianhua Pavilion's defective products to refugees outside the city for free.

Venerable Qianhua changed his expression so quickly that Venerable Aoshu began to believe those bizarre stories about wealthy men who lost their fortunes because of the whispering of their concubines.

After reaching a pleasant cooperation, Venerable Qianhua kept You Su on the pretext that he had something to do to ask Dabang for help. Venerable Aoshu had to leave tactfully, leaving only a promise to come back to pick up You Su tomorrow.

"What's all this mess? Did he spend a lot of money?"

Bai Ze was a new comer, he had not lived a rich life, and he had not developed a lavish personality. After spending many days with You Su, he seemed to have regarded You Su's money as his own.

"Yes."

"But where does he get so much money?"

You Su seldom fulfills Bai Ze's wishes, so Bai Ze thinks You Su is quite stingy, probably because he is poor. He is also very considerate and has never touched You Su's soft spot.

The Master of Mathematics smiled and said, "If you don't have money, you can use something else to pay off your debt."

"What to use?"

"Body."

"He, he wants that woman to eat him?"

The Master of Mathematical Olympiad was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he showed a guilty smile: "That's about right."

"Why don't we go back and save him?!" Bai Ze seemed really anxious, and was spinning around in circles around Hua Taoist's collar.

"This is a deal he made voluntarily. Saving him would be a betrayal of his kindness. How can we save him?"

The Master of Aoshu rubbed Bai Ze's little head, as if to comfort him, but the hand had just peeled a sweet potato, and the gray-black charcoal ash had painted Bai Ze's head into a tiger cub. Seeing this, the Master of Aoshu quickly apologized and withdrew his hand, pretending nothing had happened:
"Don't worry, he will return safely. Venerable Qianhua is extremely shrewd. Even if she wants to eat Dabang clean, she will wait until next time. After all, I am also an immortal official on the Kongyuan Divine Mountain. If she wants to do business in Beiaozhou, she will definitely give me some face."

Wouldn't it be eaten up completely and nothing would be left? Bai Ze thought worriedly.

"What on earth is he doing this for...?"

If it was the Aoshu Master before today, he might think that You Su was really just repaying him a favor. As for the theory of using great merit to offset the great evil of the sacred mountain, he guessed that the young man didn't believe it at all.

But today's Mathematical Olympiad Master has changed his mind.

"The rich are feasting and drinking, while the poor are freezing to death on the streets..."

Venerable Aoshu leisurely recited the poem that the young man used to admonish Venerable Qianhua today. As far as his vision could see, there were the streets and alleys of Feicheng, the bustling crowds, but in the corners of the prosperous Feicheng, there were also people begging for mercy and people who were terminally ill...

The immortals on the mountain can see thousands of miles away, but they cannot see the suffering of all living beings. Beiaozhou is getting better, but the method is to abandon the weak outside the warm town and let them fend for themselves in the wind and snow.

Is it true that when all the poor people die, only the rich people will be left in Beiaozhou?

The harsh reality of the world is vividly expressed in the young man's poem.

But such a young man was willing to sacrifice himself to create more opportunities for those who were abandoned...

"Hey, Taoist priest, I want to ask you a question!"

Seeing that Master Olympiad was actually in a daze, Bai Ze was so angry that he scratched his neck with his claws.

The Master of Mathematical Olympiad came back to his senses and smiled towards the bright sun.

Although the residents passing by him were surprised by the man's strange clothes and did not dare to approach him, they had to admit that this middle-aged man had a charming smile.

“He’s trying to make the world a better place.”

The Master of Mathematical Olympiad said this with certainty.

Although he had no idea, You Su was asking Venerable Qianhua to benefit the people so that his reputation would last forever, but in fact he was secretly playing with some newly developed gadgets of Qianhua Pavilion in order to force the noble fairy to submit.

Although he didn't know, You Su was willing to agree to let him take a detour to see Venerable Qianhua just to meet his family, collect more information, and vent his anger...

"I am not alone in my ways!"

The Master of Mathematical Olympiad suddenly let out a long roar toward the sky, feeling delighted.

People on the street looked at him as if he were an alien and kept their distance from him.

The usually timid Xiao Bai Ze was not frightened and hid in his collar under so many strange looks. For some reason, after hearing about You Su's purpose of "selling himself", he also felt a sense of honor.

"Hey, Taoist priest."

"Master Bai Ze, what are your instructions?" Master Ao Shu teased it intentionally.

"Bring the sweet potato here." Bai Ze snorted and ordered rudely.

"Didn't you say you're not a vegetarian?" "It's okay to eat it occasionally."

"Okay, okay! Even though I've eaten so many delicacies from land and sea, I still miss this bite of hot sweet potato. How about it?"

"Yeah! It's delicious!"

On the long street of Feicheng, a strange Taoist priest dressed in fancy clothes kept breaking sweet potatoes, and his loud laughter hovered in the air.

And in the warm and cozy Qianhua Pavilion, lingering above the room were bursts of moaning sounds.

It’s just that you can’t hear the noise outside from inside, and outside can’t hear the birds singing inside.

"Since you want me to agree to it, why don't you just ask me to agree to it? Why do you have to make me pretend to decline?"

Venerable Qianhua bit his lower lip tightly, looking at the string of crystal beads on the coffee table that he had pulled out from somewhere, feeling extremely ashamed and angry.

"If you agree too quickly, he'll get suspicious."

You Su played with the crystal necklace, secretly sighing that Qianhua Pavilion really had good aesthetic taste and made everything so beautifully.

"Oh! Hypocrite!" Venerable Qianhua laughed as if he was angry, "Then you should have given the order in advance, why did you have to act on impulse? You are obviously doing this to satisfy your perverted hobby. If you admit it frankly, I would still think you are a man. With such inconsistent words and deeds, I will only think you are a villain!"

“When a smart person starts to curse, it means he is really at his wits’ end and is really anxious.”

You Su leaned back and leaned unscrupulously on the expensive wooden chair. He was not the master of Qianhua Pavilion, but as long as he was the master of the master of Qianhua Pavilion, it was enough.

Venerable Qianhua frowned, his red lips were dyed more vividly by anger, but it also inadvertently added a bit of seductive charm.

Her bright eyes were burning with anger as she stared at You Su, but she was helpless and could only hold her anger in her chest, letting it rise and fall.

"You really still have your heart set on that fat woman."

Venerable Qianhua simply crossed his arms over his chest and turned his head away, not looking at the "murder weapon" that You Su had just used to commit the crime.

You Su took a while to react before he realized what the evil woman meant. He held his forehead and asked, "Do you think I'm harming your Qianhua Pavilion for the sake of Bihua Pavilion?"

"Otherwise?" Venerable Qianhua glanced at You Su.

"Are you really stupid or are you just pretending? Although Qianhua Pavilion has been the leader in the clothing industry for so long, many people buy Qianhua Pavilion's clothes not willingly but out of necessity. Qianhua Pavilion's condescending attitude has caused dissatisfaction among many people. It would be good for your reputation if you increase your investment in Beiaozhou and do some good things that benefit the people's livelihood."

"I am a businessman. I only need tangible benefits." Venerable Qianhua answered in a serious tone.

"Is it necessary to act stupid just to talk back to me?"

You Su raised his eyebrows and knocked the crystal necklace on his hand threateningly, making a popping sound.

When Venerable Qianhua heard the voice, he became a little more honest and remained silent.

In fact, as a far-sighted businessman, she was able to expand her territory to Beiaozhou, which naturally showed her trust in this snow-covered land. If she could gain a foothold in Beiaozhou, as long as Beiaozhou was developing, Qianhua Pavilion would not lose too much even if it did not make a profit.

Therefore, the matter of increasing investment depends on whether she is willing to put down some of Qianhua Pavilion's high-handed attitude. After all, in this slightly barren land, only a very small number of people can afford to spend money in Qianhua Pavilion. Only by lowering her posture can she earn more money from people.

"There's another reason, actually."

"what?"

"When the time comes and Qianhua Pavilion can no longer survive in Zhongyuanzhou, you can run to Beiaozhou to survive for a while." You Su said lightly.

"you!"

Venerable Qianhua clenched her fists in anger. She could easily kill the ant with her cultivation, but she could do nothing about the man who sat on her chair and drank from her cup. This feeling of powerlessness made her feel humiliated, but deep in her heart, she felt an unusual pleasure for some reason.

"How is the Third Elder?"

You Su finally changed the topic. After venting all night, he was finally able to talk about some serious matters.

Venerable Qianhua snorted coldly and replied casually: "Dead."

You Su took a deep breath and gritted his teeth, "It seems that you really won't be able to be honest without some tricks..."

Venerable Qianhua's pupils slightly widened. She was well-informed, but You Su always gave her some surprises. Looking at what he was holding, she instinctively felt a little scared, but her body trembled with excitement.

After a long time, You Su happily wiped his face with a handkerchief.

"So... they are all safe?"

Venerable Qianhua panted heavily, but still refused to let You Su go:
"You are the most dangerous person to them."

You Su was silent after hearing this, and his joy faded a lot. He murmured:

"It was not my original intention. I turned those people into my followers because they were originally evil puppets."

"That's enough." Venerable Qianhua suddenly interrupted You Su, "What are you explaining to me? Those who believe in you will believe, and those who don't will never believe. As for me, I have to believe it no matter what. So instead of explaining to me, you might as well find a way to clear your name."

Although the words were still sharp, You Su could still hear some warmth in them.

"I thought you would take advantage of my misfortune and hope that I would really die so as to sever this family relationship."

"Even if everyone in this world thinks you are dead, I am the only one who won't. Because the evil spirit in me has not disappeared!" Venerable Qianhua glared at You Su and said angrily, "Since I know you are not dead, I can only pray that I didn't bet on the wrong stone. After you polish away the impurities on the outside, I hope that what is revealed is really a piece of jade."

"Do you really think of me as your master?"

"If you bet right, you have to be careful; if you bet wrong, you have to be even more careful."

Venerable Qianhua looked at You Su provocatively, as if she would retaliate at any time, but she hid the complicated feelings in her heart very well. She couldn't tell how she felt about You Su, which made her choose to believe the boy even in this situation.

"Then you should still treat me as your master."

"you……!"

Before she could finish her words, You Su blocked her mouth. This woman always aroused his evil thoughts of bullying her.

"You must tell the truth! What is your purpose in coming to Beiaozhou? You definitely didn't come here for the so-called store celebration."

"Umm...looking for...you!"

Venerable Qianhua's cheeks became even redder because she spoke the truth.

You Su was slightly startled, but actually had expected it.

Looking at the stubborn fairy, he actually became gentler.

But Venerable Qianhua's next words made him unable to hold back and become even more violent.

"Your senior sister... is also in Beiaozhou!"
