In this life, one of his sensational jokes earned her countless looks.
In the previous life, although there was no coffin painting, Liu Shaowei sat behind her and bullied her from time to time.
For her who was helpless and fragile at that time, every sarcasm and every roll of the eyes was a shadow of her life.
When this belated apology actually appeared, Chi Zao suddenly realized that he didn't actually care that much anymore.
It’s not that I forgive, but that I no longer take it to heart.
Compared to those who wanted her life with malicious intentions, Liu Shaowei seemed to be nothing.
Chi Zao twitched the corners of his lips sarcastically and looked away.
Several people nearby looked at it, not quite sure what was going on.
Dean Chen's eyes met the person next to him, and he coughed slightly, "Well, Xiao Yuan, please come in, I have a job to give you."
Dr. Yuan was called into the office, and the only ones present were Chi Zao, the old man in Tang suit, and the young housekeeper behind the old man.
"Little girl, what's your name?" The old man in Tang suit's eyes sparkled, his eyes wrapped in old folds staring closely at Chi Zao, hiding his suppressed excitement and joy.
Chi Zao glanced at the old man and said, "My surname is Chi, what about you?"
Unexpectedly, she would ask back. Mr. Qin was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "My surname is Qin."
After thinking about it carefully, Chi Zao found that he had not found a wealthy family named Qin in Ningcheng, and he had no impression of the unusual old man in front of him.
But next, the old man's words stunned her.
"You are less than 20 years old and were born in a small county village east of Ningcheng, right?"
The old man's voice was old, and although there was a hint of excitement, he was more indifferent to everything.
This cannot be accomplished overnight.
It definitely takes years of accumulation and being in a high position to be able to have such composure.
Chi Zao narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at him without saying anything.
Mr. Qin was even more delighted with her vigilance and calmness, and he appreciated her even more.
He has met several people who meet the conditions in the past two days.
But no one was like Chi Zao at this moment, who was calm and composed when facing him, without even a trace of nervousness.
"Little girl, don't be nervous. I am telling you this for only one purpose." Mr. Qin looked at her and asked solemnly and seriously, "I want to accept you as my disciple. Are you willing to accept me as your teacher?"
Chi Zao didn't expect him to say such a sentence and was slightly startled.
Taking on a disciple?
Apprenticeship?
"Not interested." Chi Zao paused and spoke directly.
The old man didn't expect that she would refuse without hesitation. He didn't even have time to reveal his identity and what he could give her.
Faced with such a situation, the old man didn't know what to do.
Just like when facing Xiao Yu.
At the back just now, Mr. Qin just thought that this little girl was transparent enough. If it had been a few years ago, he might have accepted her as a disciple without hesitation.
But when I saw her face...
He was extremely sure that the girl in front of him was the one she was looking for!
It's just that this person seems to be different from everyone else...
Mr. Qin's thoughts changed and he tried to persuade, "Don't you first understand what you are studying as a disciple?"
Chi Zao originally wanted to continue to refuse.
She was almost overwhelmed with her own affairs.
Her daily tasks, preventing Xiao Yu from turning black, take up most of her energy.
But looking at the obviously extraordinary old man in front of her, she paused.
Seeing her wavering, Mr. Qin smiled slightly and said, "Little girl, do you know what metaphysics is?"
Chi Zao's eyes flickered.
"Metaphysics includes many things, such as Feng Shui, physiognomy, breaking hexagrams, changing fortunes... A good master of metaphysics is hard to find, hard to buy with a thousand pieces of gold, and admired by thousands of people." Mr. Qin spoke slowly, and although his voice was old, it sounded like someone
It has a magical power that makes people inexplicably calm down and want to listen to it.
But this time.
"Master of metaphysics...surnamed Qin..."
The soul of Professor Liu next to him murmured, and suddenly thought of something, his face changed drastically, and he exclaimed: "It's Master Qin, the master of metaphysics in Kyoto!"
Chi Zao's eyes narrowed slightly.
Master of metaphysics?
Kyoto?
Chi Zao didn't know the Qin family, let alone Mr. Qin, because she had never been to Kyoto in her previous life. It was difficult for her to move around when she was alive.
After death, although her soul can walk freely, it cannot leave Ningcheng.
For things outside Ningcheng, she could only listen to rumors and hexagrams.
After being reminded by Professor Liu, she suddenly remembered that when she followed Xiao Yu in her previous life, she seemed to have indeed heard about conversations between Mr. Qin and Master Qin. However, they were too few, so few that she could simply ignore them.
"Little girl, promise him! You must promise him!!" Professor Liu was so excited that he shouted beside Chi Zao with his body floating, as if Mr. Qin wanted to accept him instead of Chi Zao.
Chi Zao was stunned for a moment. Before he could think about anything, there was a sudden tinkling in his ears.
"Master Qin is the most powerful and prestigious master of metaphysics in our country. If you say the word "Qin" in Kyoto, almost everyone knows about it! Not to mention other places, we in Ningcheng don't know how many people want to invite Master Qin.
Go and tell fortunes. But I spent ten years studying the Book of Changes and didn’t even get in. Now he wants to accept you as his disciple, you must agree to him quickly! There are only benefits and no disadvantages!"
Over there, Professor Liu's body has been carried away.
But Professor Liu didn't even look at him. If he hadn't been a soul, he would have rushed forward excitedly and pressed Chi Zao's head to become his disciple.
Chi Zao didn't move, there wasn't even an expression on his face.
"You just talked about fate. Half a month ago, I calculated that my last apprentice came from Ningcheng. This is destiny." Mr. Qin looked at Chi Zao with a rare light shining in his eyes.
Chi Zao listened and thought.
suddenly.
Under the gaze of the two people in front of her, she raised her eyes and asked a question that neither of them expected, "Is your name Qin Yuanshan?"
Mr. Qin was stunned.
Butler Qin behind him was stunned.
"Have you heard my name?"
Chi Zao looked at the old man.
In all these years, the old man had never been looked at so blatantly, and her gaze seemed very indifferent and ordinary, but it carried a complex and profound meaning that no one could understand.
Chi Zao lowered his eyes, "Well, Master Qin's name is like thunder."
The old man was subconsciously delighted, but soon he felt that something was wrong. Her performance was too calm.
He frowned slightly, "Then you are willing to become my teacher?"
"Yes, yes!" Professor Liu nodded excitedly beside him.
The next second, the girl shook her head slightly, "I'm sorry, Master Qin, I'm not very smart. I'm afraid I won't be able to learn such advanced things."
Professor Liu froze.
Butler Qin had a strange look on his face.
The old man also paused slightly.
Chi Zao checked the time on his phone and said, "My mother is still waiting for me at home, see you Master Qin." After saying that, he turned around with the medicine in hand.
The old man's expression changed, and he said in a deep voice, "You don't have to rush to refuse, I will give you time to think about it. If you change your mind, come to me at the Honor Hotel."
Chi Zao didn't stop and walked into the elevator in one step.
In the silent space, she opened the system's life and death book.
