The master is so popular that his disciples want to commit crimes against him.

In his spirit storage bag, there was only gold and silver, as well as various elixirs and pills.

He was walking aimlessly on the street alone.

"Host, are you really back? Where do you live? Do you have the currency here?"

Youyou came online at this time and said in surprise that she didn't expect Tang Yixin to act so quickly.

She seemed to be sipping coffee.

Tang Yixien also wants to drink coffee.

He was standing on the dimly lit street at this moment, with the drizzle bringing the coolness of autumn.

Youyou couldn't navigate here, so he had to rely on himself. Fortunately, as he walked, he found that the surroundings gradually became familiar.

The headquarters was quite considerate and sent him to a place near the university where he used to work.

The old man selling grilled sausages was still there at the door. Under the awning, the sausages were sizzling and emitting a faint aroma.

This is life.

Judging from the time, he probably gave up the lease on the house he rented before.

Fortunately, he did not default on the rent.

"Xiao Yuanzhi..."

When Tang Yixien suddenly heard the name, he took a moment to react.

He looked up and saw a man standing opposite him, holding an umbrella and looking at him in surprise.

After thinking for a moment, Tang Yixin recognized that it was his former colleague Zhuo Fan, who lived nearby.

Like him, Zhuo Fan is a teacher at this university, teaching music. He is lively and loves to laugh.

He remembered that he was a nice person and always smiled with all eight teeth showing when he saw people, just like now.

"It's been such a long time. Where have you been? The dean of the department has been asking about you. Without you, no one would even ask about his thesis."

"Your hair? It looks nice, but how long has it been since you cut it?"

Zhuo Fan was still the same as before, once he started talking, he couldn't stop.

"I just happened to pass by here and came to take a look." Tang Yixien said.

Zhuo Fan held the umbrella over Tang Yixian's head and said politely:

"Well...you can't be out here in the rain alone. It's so cold."

"I came from another place, the plane was delayed, and I didn't bring an umbrella." Tang Yixien made up an excuse.

Zhuo Fan is usually an enthusiastic and kind person. He always smiles at everyone. He held an umbrella for Tang Yixian and didn't notice that his shoulders were wet.

A gust of wind blew, mixed with raindrops, and the umbrella was blown left and right.

"Why don't you come to my house? It's nearby." Zhuo Fan said sincerely with a smile.

Tang Yixien looked at Zhuo Fan sincerely and with some sympathy.

Maybe they thought he was a homeless, unemployed young man.

He couldn't refuse such sincerity, and he had nowhere to go for the time being, so he said yes.

The other party seemed very happy and quickly led the way to the nearby community.

Their university is located in the bustling old city area, surrounded by old houses with dilapidated exteriors.

The broken wooden stairs creaked in protest from being stepped on, as if they were about to go on strike at any moment.

Tang Yixien walked cautiously, and Zhuo Fan in front seemed to have gotten used to it.

"It's a little run-down here, but the rent is right, so I can accept the shabby look."

After opening the door, the two entered the room.

Although the outside is shabby, the inside of the house is still warm. The house is not big, but it has everything you need, two bedrooms and a living room. There is a round table and two sofas in the living room.

It's just enough for two people to sit.

Zhuo Fan handed the towel to Tang Yixin and went into the kitchen to busy himself.

"Do you live in two rooms by yourself?" Tang Yixien asked while sitting on the sofa.

"My roommate went back to his hometown to get married and is no longer renting the house. I haven't found anyone to share the house with yet." Zhuo Fan's voice came from the kitchen, accompanied by the sound of machine beeps.

"Stop busying yourself. I'm sorry to bother you." Tang Yixuan said loudly.

"It's okay, it's rare for me to have friends over."

Soon, Zhuo Fan came over with two cups of coffee.

Tang Yixien's expression brightened, he took the coffee and took a sip.

Um..

It's been a long time since I last had a drink.

Zhuo Fan confirmed again that his former colleague was currently living in poverty and had no money to get a haircut or even a cup of coffee.

He actually saw Xiao Yuanzhi take a sip of coffee, and his eyes lit up. It has been a long time since he had a cup of coffee.

He couldn't help but feel a little sad.

"I'll make you another cup." Zhuo Fan almost wiped his tears, got up and went to the kitchen.

He understood best the pain of being a slave. This month, he only had a few hundred yuan left for his living expenses.

Tang Yixien had indeed not had coffee for a long time. When the second cup came to his hand, he drank it quickly again, his eyes slightly narrowed.

Delicious.

Sure enough, it was right to come back. It is difficult to give up the things I have loved since childhood.

"Today, let's just have some takeout. When I get my salary this month, I'll treat you to a big meal." Zhuo Fan took out his cell phone and asked Tang Yixin to order.

"Okay, thank you." Tang Yixien pursed his lips and smiled.

He took out a small piece of gold from his pocket and handed it to Zhuo Fan.

"I didn't bring any cash, only this. Don't worry, it's real. Just find a way to exchange it."

The heavy gold fell into his hand, and Zhuo Fan was stunned for a moment.

Although he did not study chemistry, he could tell real gold from fake.

This piece of gold, according to the gold price, is worth at least tens of thousands.

He looked at his former colleague in front of him, who was handsome and extremely good-looking.

This gold?

Is it him?

Which sponsor gave it to you?

It's really pitiful.

If Tang Yixien knew that the person in front of him thought this way, he would probably go crazy.

"This is too much." Zhuo Fan quickly refused. He couldn't take the money.

"It's okay, I'll stay for two more days."

Tang Yixin just stayed at his former colleague's house, where there happened to be an empty room.

In Yuanzhi Continent, the three little ones were in the yard wondering why their master was in seclusion.

"Is Master going to advance?" Xuan Yuran guessed.

"There's no need to go into seclusion to advance." Sheng Qingye pondered and said while lying on the table.

"Let's wait until he comes out of seclusion and then see." Jin Xiaoxiao looked at her master's villa and whispered.

He deliberately passed by Tang Yixin's inner room yesterday and set up a barrier.

Is it really just a simple retreat?

Zhuo Fan is a typical good guy. He helped Tang Yixin exchange the gold for money and returned the money to him.

Tang Yixin didn't expect that this colleague could be so nice.

He looked at Zhuo Fan's washed-out backpack on the sofa, and his shoes covered in several layers of glue.

The salary of a university music teacher is enough to support himself, but he heard that Zhuo Fan also has to send money to his younger brother who is still in school.

After repeated refusals, Zhuo Fan finally accepted part of the money.

But in his heart, he still felt embarrassed, so he took care of Tang Yixin everywhere.

The two days passed quickly. Tang Yixien wandered around, went shopping and ate, and the time passed quickly.

He told Zhuo Fan that he was going on a long trip and that the remaining money would be used to offset the rent.

He rented another room so that he would have a place to stay when he came back.

This can also help Zhuo Fan reduce his burden, killing two birds with one stone.

Tang Yixien felt that these two days were like a vacation, alleviating his nostalgia for his previous life.

Since I don't want to and can't leave Yuanzhi Continent, it's fine this way.
