It has to be said!
Sometimes, fate is just so interesting. Two completely unrelated people, yet they share an unspoken understanding.
Both of them, on this very day, sent letters to the capital to report their findings!
The only difference is that—
One was going to the Inspectorate, and the other was going to the Duke's Mansion.
Soon!
Two letters from Nanhai County to the capital, were quietly sent out in different ways.
As for Chu Yuan, the person involved!
Naturally, he was unaware of this.
But given Chu Yuan's personality, even if he knew, he would probably just laugh it off.
After all, in a way.
The Inspectorate, or the Second Madam Liu of the Duke's Mansion, were not truly malicious villains.
They wouldn't cause Chu Yuan much trouble!
So even if he knew about it, he wouldn't care too much.
To him!
The hustle and bustle of the outside world, while he would occasionally pay attention, would never bother him.
The days that followed!
He continued to attend his classes as usual, then read books in his spare time, enjoying everything life had to offer.
At the same time!
He was also making ample preparations for next year's Spring Examination.
Nanhai County is a beautiful place. The most beautiful summer had left, and autumn, with its coolness, had arrived.
The Blind Man was always so mysterious!
He would disappear for a while, then suddenly reappear. The Old Poison, Master Fei, was similar.
His identity dictated it!
While his main job was to be a teacher at the Ye Residence, he would also go on missions occasionally in the vicinity of Nanhai County.
Obviously!
As the second-in-command of the Inspectorate, he carried a heavy burden.
Sometimes, he would frequently leave the residence.
In comparison!
Chu Yuan, also a language teacher, had it easy.
He would cheat his way through classes, and after class, he would lie on the roof to sunbathe, watch the moon, or read books and drink.
Sometimes, he would also watch Ye Xiao practice martial arts!
Today, it just so happened that the Blind Man had taken someone out, so Chu Yuan, feeling at ease, lay there reading and soaking up the sun.
Facing the Blind Man's direction.
Speaking of the Blind Man, he had changed a bit recently.
Ever since he became the physical education teacher, he would occasionally say a few more words, as if he were learning to do class summaries.
It has to be said!
This robot's learning ability is quite impressive.
……
……
Just then.
Chu Yuan felt a gust of wind pass by him. Turning his head, he saw the Old Poison standing there.
"Had your class stolen again?"
Chu Yuan glanced at him and said nonchalantly, "Such a coward!"
"You're just saying that because you're standing and don't have to worry about back pain!"
As one of the three top poison experts in the world, Fei Jie silently took two bites of his scallion pancake:
"In the entire world, how many people can beat the Five Elders?"
"Having your class stolen isn't a shame!"
Chu Yuan smiled!
He didn't mock the other party any further, after all, his words were true.
"Speaking of which!"
"I've been wanting to ask you something?"
Master Fei thought about it, and eventually decided to ask, "Why is it always my class that gets stolen, but yours never?"
"Logically speaking, your morning class is more suitable for stealing!"
"Why does the Five Elders only steal mine and not yours? I've been racking my brains trying to figure it out!"
As he spoke!
Master Fei also sat down beside Chu Yuan.
"Who are you? You're the second-in-command of the Inspectorate, if you hadn't retired, you might have even become the head of the Inspectorate."
"Isn't it more rewarding to steal from you than from me?" Chu Yuan chuckled with a mischievous grin.
To this!
Master Fei was speechless, "I'm serious!"
Seeing his earnest request.
Chu Yuan stopped joking, and smiled faintly, "Do you see that general store down there?"
"I do, it's run by the Five Elders, isn't it?"
"I often buy things there. Money talks, do you think he'd dare steal my class?"
"It's that simple?"
"It's that simple!"
"I don't believe it!"
Master Fei still seemed unconvinced.
"Look at his shop, it's a miracle it's even open. As the only patron who willingly pays, wouldn't you say I'm different from everyone else?"
"That's true!"
"So he can steal your class, why would he steal mine?"
"……”
——————————
In fact!
Chu Yuan wasn't lying to Fei Jie.
He could sense that, despite his cold and aloof demeanor, the Blind Man wasn't truly unapproachable.
As a bio-engineered robot!
He was ultimately governed by programming. So as long as you knew his limits, then you could decipher his programming.
Like Chu Yuan!
Why did he often go to the general store without saying a word?
Was he trying to get a bargain? Or was he trying to curry favor with the Blind Man?
Neither!
He knew that the Blind Man's programming wouldn't be so hostile towards someone who was always in his line of sight.
Think of him as a game NPC.
Chu Yuan's frequent purchases and appearances were like gaining experience points.
So!
For the same stranger, even if Chu Yuan had just a little more experience points than Master Fei, the difference was obvious.
Naturally.
It would be Master Fei, not Chu Yuan, whose class was stolen.
After saying that!
Chu Yuan stood up, brushed off the dust on his clothes, "How's your class been going lately?"
"I don't know." Master Fei shook his head.
"You don't know?" Chu Yuan was slightly taken aback. What kind of answer was that?
"Because I haven't had a class, damn it..."
Chu Yuan laughed!
He didn't respond, looked at the direction the Blind Man left in, and then went down from the roof.
He left Master Fei there muttering to himself:
"Buying things, huh? He likes handmade things, huh? I'll go buy too tomorrow, I'll buy out his entire general store."
"Keep him busy!"
