Chapter 37: Redeemer

Lu Xiafan of the casino can't be more familiar. After all, as soon as the

master disappeared, he went to the casino in all likelihood, and 10% was a

brothel.

Of course, the probability of going to the latter is low, not because he is

more gambler, but because he always has a minority when he can win.

The guards of the casino were also familiar with Xia Fan, and after asking

about his intention, they took him directly to the door of the host’s room.

"Oh? His master happens to be here, let him come in."

The voice of the owner came through the door panel.

The guard who got permission stepped aside and made a gesture of asking.

what? Master is here? Xia Fan's heart tightened slightly. Instead of putting

the debtor in a private cell, he took it to the owner's room... Could it be

that they were using violence to force the debt?

He quickly opened the door and walked into the house quickly, "Stop it, I

brought all the ransom--"

In the middle of speaking, Xia Fan suddenly became dumb.

I saw the casino owner and the master sitting face to face. There was a pot of

boiled fish between them. The milky white soup was decorated with red peppers,

which looked so delicious. There are still a few empty hip flasks in the

surrounding area. Judging from the fish bones stacked in front of them, it

seems that they have been drinking three times.

what's going on? Why did the master who owed money become a guest of the

casino instead of seeing him for a month?

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Xia Fan would never believe that this

red-faced and beautiful middle-aged uncle was his cheap master-Zhao Dahai.

"What do you do, your kid is drinking too much? What nonsense!" My master

patted the mat next to his feet, "Have you had dinner, come and drink a bowl

of fish soup first."

"Lao Zhao, this is your disciple who told us to leave you alone and promise to

redeem people in a month? Hehe..." The boss smiled and looked at Xia Fan, "I

just heard it before, but I finally saw it today. A month’s time to gather

thirty taels of silver, most people are afraid that they will escape far away

early, and you dare to come back. That alone is commendable courage. Yes, it

is a young hero!"

"He might as well run away." Master put a mouthful of fish in his mouth.

"Apprentice, let me introduce you. This is the shopkeeper Xiao who runs

Chunxiao Street. The shops we used to visit are basically his. industry."

In other words, this person not only runs the casino, but he also runs the

brothels, tea houses and inns on the street?

In this way, Xia Fan's doubts in his heart are even greater, why would such a

big boss mix up with his master, and seem to be talking and laughing?

"Hahaha... Actually it's not as complicated as you think." Shopkeeper Xiao

seemed to see Xia Fan's puzzlement and proactively explained, "Dao Chang Zhao

did owe a gambling money, but he also helped me a lot. I, Mr. Xiao, pays

attention to debts and gratitudes. When the two balances, he still has

kindness to the Xiao family."

After some details, Xia Fan finally figured out what was going on-there was

also a brothel on Lianhua Street next door called Hongying Pavilion, which was

in competition with Xiao's Ruanxiang Pavilion, and At one point, the latter

could not breathe. The master happened to know a set of massage techniques,

which were originally used to relieve fatigue during the journey. When he

proposed to teach these techniques to Ruanxiangge women and use them on the

guests, the form was instantly reversed. Nowadays, Hongying Pavilion has very

few customers, and people outside Ruanxiang Pavilion are waiting every day, so

the income is naturally rising. The thirty-two debts are not worth mentioning

compared to Chunlou’s income.

After listening, there was only one thought left in Xia Fan's mind: Is this TM

OK?

"Why, do you think I'm at the end of the road, I can only wait for you to save

it?" Zhao Dahaizhi triumphantly took a cup, "I have been traversing the rivers

and lakes for decades, and I have not seen any big winds and waves, so how can

I be frustrated? Stuck!"

"..." Xia Fan couldn't help but twitched his mouth. He had imagined many

scenes of redemption, some of whom were crying and expressing repentance, and

some were biting their heads and wanting face, but he didn't foresee such a

situation.

Feelings No matter whether he can take the exam of a valor, it has no effect

on Master.

It really made him think too much.

"So... Did you pass the exam?" Zhao Dahai suddenly asked.

"Yes." Xia Fan said weakly, "I thought that the master was suffering and the

disciples could not sleep at night. After receiving the placement fee, I

rushed back here day and night. I didn't expect it to be a waste of work."

"Bah, I don't know what your kid is thinking about. It's not bad to think

about being a teacher once a month." The master said disapprovingly, "But

since you came with the ransom, you can be considered as dedicated, but there

will be no way in the future. Travel the world with me again."

"You seem to be enjoying wandering." Seeing that he was not pretending to be

in front of Shopkeeper Xiao, Xia Fan didn't bother to act again. "When I was

so hungry that I was about to faint, I didn't mean to do anything for a meal.

Huh? Now that I am an alchemist in the Privy Council, I will prevent you from

being hungry anyhow."

"This, this moment, that moment, when I am hungry and panic, can I believe

it!" The other party glared at him, "Is it sure where to go?"

"I don't know yet. But no matter where you go, it's okay to find a place for

you, Master."

Zhao Dahai pondered for a moment and then shook his head, "No, you will go

alone in the future."

Xia Fan was startled, "What do you mean?"

"I'm used to it and don't want to live in one place for a long time. Take a

step back, it's better to live here than to live with you. There is no

shortage of eating, drinking and having fun. The girl in Ruanxiangge hopes

that I will go there every day, how cozy and cozy... …"

"I can testify, your master is telling the truth." Shopkeeper Xiao said with a

smile.

"Are you...serious?" Xia Fan frowned.

"Seriously, absolutely serious!"

"If this is the case, then I won't say much." He shook his head helplessly,

"But after the appointment and dismissal order, I will tell you where to go.

If one day Master regrets it and ran out of food, it's okay. Come to me

anytime. Then, the disciple retire."

"Go ahead." Zhao Dahai waved.

Xia Fan had to leave the room with his hands.

After he left, the shopkeeper Xiao looked at Zhao Dahai with a sigh, "This is

the first time I have seen a master and apprentice like you. Not to mention

that you are a master and a prudent, even if others are not, they will at

least pretend to be that way. ...You have to burn three sticks of incense when

worshipping the handles on the rivers and lakes."

"What's the use of the pretended master-discipline friendship?" Zhao Dahai

sneered, "I was still a close fellow the previous day, and the next day I was

stabbed in the back by a tiny little profit. I have also seen a lot of-

pretending It’s too much, and sometimes it will paralyze yourself. It’s better

not to stop at the beginning. You should be familiar with this truth."

"Hahaha...it really makes sense." Shopkeeper Xiao said after filling the two

glasses, "but your apprentice will eventually be admitted to the alchemist,

and the court official who will be an honest court official will be a happy

event. When you put it in another house, you must beat gongs, drums, and put

on red and colorful colors. Why do I think you don’t care too much? Could it

be... you think the disciple is lying?"

"That's not true. From the moment he proposed to take the exam, I knew that

there would be such a day sooner or later." Zhao Dahai's voice suddenly sank,

"To be honest, I don't really want him to leave. Go this way...become an

alchemist in the Privy Council."

"What's wrong with Guangzong Yaozu's business? No one else is qualified to go

this way."

"He is different...this kid makes me a little scared."

"Afraid?" Shopkeeper Xiao laughed blankly, "Old Zhao, you drank too much."

"Drink too much? It's too early! You haven't looked forward to him for a long

time, and it's normal if you don't know. I have taken him for ten years, and

naturally I know the details of this kid." Zhao Dahai waved his hand, as if he

wanted to vomit quickly, said Halfway through, he hesitated, "The more I teach

him, the more I can feel the gap between myself and him. You don't understand

the feeling, it's like, as if—" He couldn't describe it after thinking for a

long time.

"I understand, Qing is better than blue because of blue, he is already an

alchemist, you are still a ‘Dao Chang Zhao’..."

"It has nothing to do with this!" He interrupted, "I can't stand the rules of

the Privy Council, so I became this monk. I have also met many people who

claim to be geniuses, but that kid is not like them. same."

"Where is the difference?"

This time, Zhao Dahai was silent for longer, "Have you seen someone who is

born to know?"

I drank too much. Shopkeeper Xiao smiled, "Do you want to say that your

disciple is?"

"I don't know." He picked up the glass and drank it. "But if there is one, he

should be no different. I was only three years old when I picked up the kid.

It's strange at this age to perceive qi. Most disciples of the aristocratic

family began to learn to get angry from the age of four or five. But he was

able to draw talisman at the age of five, displayed a complete technique when

he was six, and mastered the talents of others for five to six years in two

years. The things learned will be regarded as first-class soon in Da Shi's

house."

"And when he talked about entraining air, he seemed to see the stars in the

sky, what the ** is that! Shouldn't you see nothing but vaguely aware of

something like a layer of gauze around him? But he does breathe Introduced

into the body, UU reading www.uukanshu.com, I had no choice but to pretend to

be like this."

"This... seems to be a bit exaggerated."

"If it's just that, that's all. He didn't know where to find a waste account

book, and he wrote and painted on the back every day. Later I accidentally

discovered that he remembered some things much earlier than when he said it."

Zhao Dahaiyue The faster he said, "This means that he deliberately slowed

down, so as not to seem to learn too fast-do ordinary people do this kind of

thing? Since then, I have kept my mind and I also found this kid’s problem.

More and more. The obsession with the abnormal skills of the other party, the

extreme self-control when practicing, and the orderly work, this is not simply

summed up by talent."

"Is high talent more suitable for the Privy Council?" Shopkeeper Xiao was

really puzzled.

"How can a place like the Privy Council be able to go smoothly by talent? With

my apprentice's temperament, it will either be folded inside or... will become

a part of the Privy Council." He sighed, "If it is the latter, the more

talented Higher, the greater the harm caused..."

Privy Council... Is it dangerous? At best, those alchemists will be a little

more domineering, but then again, which official with a little power is not

like that?

The shopkeeper Xiao found that the topic was getting more and more outrageous,

so he simply gave up asking, "Okay, I don't know the ways of the alchemist.

Since you don't want him to join the Privy Council, why didn't you stop him

from taking the exam?"

"This is the contradiction of people's hearts." Zhao Dahai smiled bitterly,

"My talent is ordinary, and the limit for my life stops here, but the more

ordinary, the more I want to see what truly talented people can achieve. Such

a height. There are only a handful of things I can teach, and the only place

where he can be fully developed is the Privy Council."
