The young man who was cooking tea was staring out the window in a daze, and suddenly heard footsteps coming from the steps behind him. Looking back, he saw that the visitor was a woman in her early thirties. This woman was as beautiful as a flower, wearing white fur, and elegant in temperament. She was Hu Jiuniang, the shopkeeper of Xiangxie Pavilion.

"My nephew has met Aunt Hu Jiu, and I still have to thank Aunt Jiu for making arrangements today." The young man quickly stood up and saluted.

Hu Jiuniang smiled faintly and said, "Why should Young Master Ning be so kind to me? It was originally a family, isn't your business just your own business? By the way, how are you doing your business?" It turned out that this young man was not someone else, but Hu Ning, the son of Mrs. Nine-tailed.

Hu Ning smiled bitterly when he heard this, shook his head and said, "It's shameful to say that my nephew bets against others for a hundred years. I'm afraid he will lose so much this time, but it will embarrass Uncle Yun."

"Absolutely defeated?" Hu Jiuniang was stunned and said, "Mr. Ning, how could you lose with your divination skills? Who is your loser?"

Hu Ning sighed: "It's true that after this great defeat, my nephew is afraid that he will never be able to calculate anything anymore. As for that opponent, he is my senior brother, and his skills are not as good as others, and it is not unfair to lose."

Hu Jiuniang suddenly said, "So that's it. Then who are you going to meet when you come to my place for a banquet today?"

Hu Ning said: "It is my senior brother Yuan Shoucheng."

Hu Jiuniang's eyes flashed and she said, "As for this reason, I want me to help you? Now that Chang'an has just settled, the boss has left a few masters for me to help you. You only need one word, I will help you get rid of your senior brother."

Hu Ning quickly shook his head and said, "Aunt Jiu misunderstood. The bet is the rule in my master's sect, and even my mother dares to interfere. Why do you need help? My nephew asked his senior brother here today to practice the rules of the sect, and there was no other intention."

Hu Jiuniang was slightly stunned and said, "Since that's the case, you can only deal with it yourself. But if you have any needs, just speak up, with the relationship between our Buddha Xiangxie and your Uncle Yun, even if it is a huge matter, I dare to take it on your behalf."

Hu Ning had no choice but to salute again and said, "Thank you for your help from Aunt Jiu."

Hu Jiuniang nodded and was about to speak again, but suddenly she heard someone coming downstairs saying: "Report to the shopkeeper, do you need to lead him up?"

Hu Ning pondered for a moment and said, "Hurry up and invite me, Aunt Jiu, just go and do it. You don't have to worry about the matter here." After that, he sat down again and fiddled with the teapot again.

A moment later, a maid led a middle-aged man with a fairy-like appearance to come up, but happened to pass by the departing Hu Jiuniang.

This person is Hu Ning's senior brother Yuan Shoucheng. He faced Hu Jiuniang's cold and frosty face, but he just smiled faintly, nodded, and then walked to the opposite of Hu Ning, and sat cross-legged.

Hu Ning raised his head, stared at the other party for a while, then sighed and said, "Senior Brother, it's been a long time since we saw each other, so don't be fine." As he said that, he picked up the teapot in his hand and poured it into two tea cups, then respectfully picked up a cup and handed it on it.

Yuan Shoucheng took the cup of tea casually, and regardless of the hotness of the tea, he drank it in one sip, put down the cup, closed his eyes and savored it for a while, and then said, "No, I haven't seen you for many years, but my junior brother has cooked good tea, which is rare, rare."

Hu Ning drank his cup of tea, filled the two tea cups, and said, "Senior brother laughed. I was not as good as my senior brother on the road of Busan, so I could only put some effort into this path of making tea."

Yuan Shoucheng's eyes lit up when he heard this, he chuckled and said, "Junior brother, could you admit defeat?"

Hu Ning sighed: "Now the overall situation has been settled, only ordinary people like Wang Shichong, Dou Jiande, and Liu Heita are left. It is only a matter of time to calm down. No matter how much I refuse to admit defeat, it will be a waste of time. However, I still have questions in my heart. I would like to ask my senior brother to solve the problem on my behalf, so that I can also be convinced."

Yuan Shoucheng smiled and said, "It's a coincidence that I have some doubts in my heart. It just so happened that you and I have solved the doubts for each other, and this trial is completed."

Hu Ning nodded and said, "Since that's the case, senior brother is the leader, so please ask me first."

Yuan Shoucheng said: "Looking back then, you and I almost calculated that Yang Jian was the savior of the world at the same time, and he also came to him at the same time, but he valued you and refused to use me. Why is that?"

When Hu Ning heard this, he seemed to be trapped in memories and said for a while: "It turns out that it is this. To be ashamed, this is not my ability, but I am just lucky, but I let my senior brother lose first."

"Good luck?" Yuan Shoucheng said in a daze: "How do you say this?"

Hu Ning said: "Senior brother must also know that my uncle is Yunchan, the sage of Yunxiang, the leader of the Shuangcha Village. He once told me that when he went to Suizhou City to rescue the Huai River floods, he saved Yang Jian's grandfather, Yang Zhen and his wife. Since then, the Yang family has worshipped my uncle's temple and dared not forget it at all. So I went to lobby before. Naturally, he believed in me and refused to believe you."

After hearing this, Yuan Shoucheng suddenly realized: "It turns out that there is still this origin. In this way, my previous secret loss was not wrong."

Hu Ning sighed, "It's a pity that my divination and calculation skills are too shallow, but I have never calculated that the Great Sui Dynasty had only twenty-eight years of life. Even if I tried my best, it would not help it last for a hundred years. In the end, it was still a move that was missing. Can the senior brother tell me why he could have seen that the True Dragon Emperor was Li Yuan and not Yang Jian thirty years ago? Could it be that my senior brother's divination and calculation skills were already sophisticated that he could calculate what happened thirty years later?"

After hearing this, Yuan Shoucheng picked up the tea and drank it all. He shook his head and said, "When talking about this, it's just like my junior brother, it's just luck.

I was rejected by the time I defected to Yang Jian, but I was not willing to give up. I also assisted Yu Wenhua and Li Mi and others, but they never improved at all. Finally, I defected to Li Yuan. Originally, I was just a dead horse as a living horse. However, I didn't expect that the Sui Dynasty was short of life and died in three lifetimes. Li Yuan became more and more emperor-like, and he was lucky enough to beat his junior brother.

In short, there are still some time left for the century. Does my junior brother want to give up and not want to compete with me again?"

Hu Ning said helplessly: "Senior Brother, you also know that according to the rules of the master, you and I are each other's furnaces and cauldrons, but if there is a victory or defeat, the cultivation of Bu Suanzhi will also increase and decrease. After Li Yuan became emperor this time, I can no longer calculate anything. It is enough to show that the victory or defeat has been decided. Even if I want to fight, I can't fight. It's better to admit defeat directly and come happily."

Yuan Shoucheng sighed, "So that's it. When the Sui Dynasty was established, my magic power was greatly reduced. The calculation results were unclear, but they were not as serious as you today. It seems that during the trial between you and me, there was still a way to judge in the master's sect." Speaking of this, he looked solemn and said, "Junior brother, do you know that according to the rules of the master, what will happen to those who lose?"

Hu Ning nodded and said, "How could I not know? If I lose, I need to offer the magic weapon, the heavenly treasure, but the heavenly treasure is my natal magic weapon. If I offer it, I will definitely die. Therefore, I have a reluctant request, please ask my senior brother to agree."

Yuan Shoucheng frowned and said, "Come and listen?"

Hu Ning said: "Now my Uncle Yun is gone, and my mother is lonely and helpless. If I leave, I am afraid that she will not be able to bear it. According to the century-old promise, there are still fifty years left. I want to ask my senior brother to leave more time for me to accompany my mother. When the time comes, I will bring my magic weapon with both hands according to the rules. I wonder what my senior brother wants?"

Yuan Shoucheng pondered and said, "So, do you want to delay until the last time agreed to practice the rules?"

Hu Ning nodded and said, "That's true. Brother, please rest assured. Since I have admitted defeat, I will definitely believe it."

Yuan Shoucheng thought hard for a long time before saying, "I'm afraid this matter is a bit difficult. If I wait for another fifty years, what if..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a leisurely voice coming from the stairs and said, "What do you think of losing? Ning'er, why are you so unscrupulous? I'm so angry."

A loud bang came, but Hu Ning was so scared that he kicked the tea stove over. He hurriedly got up and looked at the stairs. He saw a familiar and unfamiliar figure, and he murmured: "Yun...Uncle Yun? Why are you back?"
