After rebirth, she became the favorite of the powerful minister.

"Don't you want to play mahjong?"

"Yes, I never play." The steward answered honestly, wondering secretly: Why does this young master look so disappointed? Is he planning to drag this young lady to play mahjong with him? What a joke!

Master Xu did look quite disappointed. He repeatedly lamented that the other party didn't play mahjong. He walked towards the main house door, stepped onto the steps and walked into the corridor. From his angle, he could just see Zhan Yanfeng sitting by the window immersed in his own world. Xu Chengjin smiled suddenly and asked the steward, "If you don't play mahjong, have you been to the gambling house at the foot of the mountain?"

The steward paused, but was pushed forward by Xu Chengjin, who had not yet stopped, and nearly fell.

The wind blew in from the window, brushing against the other person's meticulously groomed black hair. The man seemed to be oblivious to everything that happened at the door. He only raised his hand to gently stroke the non-existent hair on his temples, then looked up and called out in a gentle voice, "Nan Yin is here, but he won't come in. What are you talking about?"

Xu Chengjin grinned, "Speaking of mahjong, there's also that gambling house at the foot of the mountain, it's called, something like Laicai Gambling House, has Third Elder been there?" He had a pair of naturally affectionate eyes, which narrowed slightly when he smiled, and he looked quite charming and a bit out of place, making it hard to tell whether he was genuine or not.

Zhan Yanfeng put away the book and sat back in the rocking chair, admonishing and admonishing her earnestly, "You are still the same. You only know how to eat, drink and have fun, and you have no ambition to make progress. With your talent, if you concentrate on studying, you will have a bright future. But you... you are just like that girl. I don't know if she led you astray, or you led her astray."

Looking at his expression, he is full of restraint and caution as a teacher.

However, Xu Chengjin was shameless. After entering the room, he asked the steward to make tea first. He then said he was hungry and went to the kitchen to order two bowls of noodles. During this time, Zhan Yanfeng glanced at Xu Chengjin with some surprise, but finally waved his hand and asked the steward to do it.

Xu Chengjin then pulled a chair for Yuan Ge to sit with him, and then he smiled nonchalantly, "She and I, it's not that one of us led the other astray, it's more like we share the same interests. But I didn't expect that the dead girl spent so much time learning poison, but in the end she died in the mouth of a poisonous snake... Speaking of which, how could there be such a big snake cave at the foot of Zhixuan Mountain? Has it never been discovered before?"

Yuan Ge, who was watching from the sidelines and pretending to be a non-partisan, raised his eyelids and rolled his eyes when he heard this.

At dinner time, dusk had already risen in the mountains, rising layer by layer. The light in the house became dimmer and even the expressions so close together became a little blurry.

Zhan Yanfeng sighed softly, stood up and walked to the candle to light it, still speaking in that gentle and restrained voice, "In the past two years, Zhixuan Mountain has not been as good as before. My eldest brother is obsessed with martial arts and has no interest in management, and my second brother is even more suspicious of making money. I am the least capable of the three. I am not good at speaking and I am not liked by students. In addition, Zhixuan Mountain has a great reputation and its reputation has become a burden. Even if I am short of money, it is not easy to expand the scale to make money... This time when I came back, you also saw that some of the older generation have already left the mountain, and the younger generation is still lacking in succession. It is already difficult to maintain it, so how can I have the energy to pay attention to a snake cave at the foot of the mountain?"

He turned to look at Xu Chengjin, his eyes deep, "You and Yuan Ge's talents are rare in this world, but you both don't know how to cherish them. One of you went down the mountain early and never heard from again, and the other's heart and eyes are filled with only her brother... Alas."

The topic has already been diverted.

Xu Chengjin seemed unaware of this, and he tilted his head and smiled jokingly, "I always thought you didn't like Yuan Ge."

The other person walked back to the rocking chair with a calm expression, and then said seriously, "As an elder, you should not have your own likes and dislikes, and you should not be biased. I just feel sorry, not unhappy."

This is Zhan Yanfeng, the youngest of the three elders and the one who looks younger. He always has a serious expression like an old scholar, and is the nightmare of almost all the students on Zhixuan Mountain. Although Yuan Ge doesn't like this Zhan Yanfeng, he at least admires him. Unfortunately, now all signs show that this kind of self-discipline and restoration of etiquette is just an illusion. What exactly is the real Zhan Yanfeng like... Yuan Ge doesn't even dare to imagine.

While the two were talking and Zhan Yanfeng's attention was on Xu Chengjin, Yuan Ge secretly looked at the interior layout.

When she was still Yuan Ge, she seldom came here. Regardless of whether Zhan Yanfeng disliked her or felt sorry for her, she really didn't like this kind of serious chat style where he would start to teach her after just two or three sentences. It was more annoying than a monk chanting sutras, so she was somewhat unfamiliar with this room. The room was not big and ordinary, and the furniture was visible at a glance. There was only a bookcase on the whole wall to her right. If Goudan didn't lie, the dark room was behind it.

Goudan was vague about how he entered the secret room that day. He only said that he didn't know how he pushed the door open. After he came out, he was worried and scared for a long time, and he could no longer remember some details.

But the furnishings here are simple, without even a single extra ornament...

Over there, Xu Chengjin had already used his shameless and shameless ability to "concern" about the romantic affairs of his elders. "Third Elder, you are also responsible for the lack of successors. You see, if you were like the Second Elder, marrying a wife and taking in concubines, and expanding Zhixuan Mountain, even if these branches and leaves are not good, there will always be one or two outstanding ones, so wouldn't that make the successor? In the final analysis, it is you who is holding us back!"

The other party was slightly stunned, and his expression changed slightly, "You kid..."

"Hehe, just kidding." Xu Chengjin continued to uphold his usual principle of "don't hit someone who smiles", put his grinning face closer, and asked tentatively, "In all these years, have you really never seen a girl you like? Or, tell me what kind of girl you like? You know, I'm a well-known person in Shengjing City, and I've seen a lot of girls. I'll introduce a few to you later?"

Zhan Yanfeng's expression had turned completely cold.

He slowly sat up, straightened his back and looked at the other person. His expressionless face seemed to be covered with a layer of mist in the early morning of late autumn. It was cold and without any warmth at all.

He looked at Xu Chengjin and ordered them to leave. "It's getting late. Please go back."

Mr. Xu didn't feel like he was being asked to leave. He stretched his neck to look outside and grinned again, "Come on, I was just joking! Besides, the noodles I ordered haven't arrived yet, how can I leave?"

The tactic of not hitting someone with a smiling face obviously failed. The other party didn't give him any face at all. "You ordered two bowls of noodles, wasn't it just to get him to talk to you about all this nonsense? You have achieved your goal. Go back. I'm tired."
