The years when I was doing things in another world

Chapter 450 Meet the actors, who can pretend better [Two in one]

Xue Xiuping still remembered Zheng Qishan's complicated attitude towards Gui Yuejun during the entrance examination.

He could see that Zheng Qishan didn't really want to deal with the perverse Gui Yuejun, and even had a tendency to want to get rid of him quickly, but for some reason, he had to let him come to Hongchu Academy as a guest secretary, or even After being given no face, I still have to contact the other party.

Hongchu Academy is so abnormal, it is difficult for Xue Xiuping not to be interested in Gui Yuejun.

"Why did Fellow Daoist Xiao go to see my master? But it has something to do with yesterday's incident?" The two chatted for a while, and their relationship became closer, and Xue Xiuping stopped politely calling Xiao Jingshui Mr. Huayue.

What happened yesterday obviously refers to Zheng Qishan asking Xiao Jingshui to help deliver a letter to Gui Yuejun.

Xiao Jingshui nodded: "Yes, it turns out that Fellow Daoist Xue has also heard about it."

Xue Xiuping smiled and said, "I'm afraid there is no one who doesn't know about this now, right?"

When he said this, Xue Xiuping kept paying attention to Xiao Jingshui's expression, wondering if Xiao Jingshui did this on purpose.

Xiao Jingshui was a little embarrassed: "I didn't expect so many people to know about it, obviously there were only a few people around at that time."

Xiao Jingshui's tone was very sincere, even vaguely apologetic.

However, this kind of apology does not allow people to attribute the mistake to her, but makes people think that others are talking too much.It was also their fault that Xiao Jingshui expressed apology.

At this time, Xue Xiuping thought so, and felt quite ashamed.

He is used to guessing others with sinister thinking, but he forgot that the object of his guess this time is Xiao Jingshui, the bright and beautiful Young Master Huayue, he shouldn't use his usual thinking to guess him.

Xue Xiuping comforted Xiao Jingshui: "You can't blame Xiao Daoyou for this matter, after all, everyone is very curious about Gui Yuejun."

This is not Xue Xiuping's nonsense to comfort Xiao Jingshui, but the fact is so.But if you change someone, it won't spread so fast.

Xiao Jingshui sighed lightly: "I didn't expect that everyone would be so curious about Gui Yuejun."

Hearing this, Xue Xiuping laughed a little and said: "Fellow Daoist Xiao, you have to know that not everyone can be like you, and they know a lot about Guiyue-jun."

Xiao Jingshui blinked, and said in confusion: "But it seems that this has nothing to do with not understanding Guiyue-jun? What about Guiyue-jun has nothing to do with them; and caring about Guiyue-jun can't bring them anything. In this case, they still have nothing to do with it. Why do you care so much about Guiyue-jun?"

Xue Xiuping didn't expect Xiao Jingshui to ask such a question, and he didn't know what to explain to Xiao Jingshui for a while.

After all, everyone has a sense of curiosity, and gossip is human nature. The more common things are, the harder they are to explain.

"Probably... because of curiosity."

Xue Xiuping explained dryly.

"Curiosity?" Xiao Jingshui tilted his head slightly, as if he was a little puzzled, "Curiosity doesn't mean that everyone knows about it, does it?"

Xiao Jingshui seemed to be asking with a somewhat bewildered look, is their curiosity a little too much?
Xue Xiuping wanted to agree with Xiao Jingshui's point of view, but he still remembered that this incident was not everyone's fault.

"Normally not. However, Guiyue-jun is different from ordinary people. They are extra curious, which is human nature."

Xue Xiuping explained patiently.

Xiao Jingshui thought for a while, finally shook his head, and said, "I don't quite understand it."

Xue Xiuping was a little overwhelmed, he couldn't help but asked Xiao Jingshui, "Aren't you curious about something? Is there ever a time when you couldn't help but want to explore something?"

Xiao Jingshui hesitated: "It's like sometimes exploring the truth of the Dao, or improving the alchemy formula or formation map?"

Xue Xiuping: "..." Curiosity in the conventional sense is a desire to gossip and has nothing to do with cultivation!
"...Let's just call it that."

Xue Xiuping was a little tired, and finally decided to confuse this question.After all, he couldn't explain to someone who wasn't curious in the conventional sense why everyone was so gossip about Ghost Moon.

He could tell that Young Master Huayue was devoted to cultivation and was lacking in human sophistication.

Xiao Jingshui noticed that Xue Xiuping's words were tired, so he gave up asking why he said it was just for the time being, and tactfully changed the topic.

For the rest of the journey, the two were silent for a long time.

But fortunately, the road that Xue Xiuping led was really close, and he arrived at Zheng Qishan's usual office in a short while, so it wasn't too embarrassing.

Seeing Xiao Jingshui coming, Zheng Qishan looked a little excited: "Master Huayue is here, it's quite early."

Xiao Jingshui smiled slightly, and said, "I was afraid that Dean Zheng would be in a hurry, so I sent the letter as soon as I received it."

Zheng Qishan was about to say something, but when he saw Xue Xiuping at the side, he calmed down a little, frowned slightly and said:
"Why did Xiuping come with Mr. Huayue?"

There was a hint of questioning in Zheng Qishan's tone.At this time, he didn't trust anyone, even his own disciple.

Xue Xiuping accepted Zheng Qishan's scrutiny calmly, and said frankly: "The disciple came to see Master for something, and happened to meet Fellow Daoist Xiao on the way. Fellow Daoist Xiao is not familiar with Master's way here, so I sent Fellow Daoist Xiao here along the way."

Zheng Qishan saw that Xue Xiuping's eyes were clear, and most of his suspicions disappeared, his expression eased, and he said, "Is Xiuping's matter urgent? If it's not urgent, we will talk about it later."

Xue Xiuping said tactfully: "Of course there is no rush, Master, let's be busy first."

If he was busy with his work first, there would be no reason to stay.This is not what Xue Xiuping wants.

Zheng Qishan turned to Xiao Jingshui and asked, "Where is Guiyuejun's letter?"

Xiao Jingshui didn't go to get the letter immediately, but glanced at Xue Xiuping, as if he was a little embarrassed.

Zheng Qishan noticed Xiao Jingshui's movements, waved his hands and said, "Xiu Ping is my disciple, it doesn't matter if he stays here."

Zheng Qishan was quite satisfied with Xue Xiuping's talent, he originally planned to let Xue Xiuping leave first, but he wanted to test it temporarily, so he didn't say anything to drive him away.

If this disciple is knowledgeable enough and loyal enough, then he will be used again in the future; on the contrary...he does not have a deep relationship with this disciple, so in order to prevent major incidents in the future, he can clean up the family as soon as possible.

When Zheng Qishan turned around to communicate with Xiao Jingshui and stopped talking to him, Xue Xiuping realized that Zheng Qishan didn't mean to let him avoid him, and his mind sank for a while.

Although he really wanted to stay and get some news, it was definitely not in such an aboveboard way.

Zheng Qishan's behavior is obviously to test him.

If he made a wrong step... probably Zheng Qishan would not let him go.

Although Xue Xiuping has been acting like a transparent person under Zheng Qishan for so many years, he still knows this very kind master very well, and this is definitely not a benevolent master.
