"You want to tell me yourself, or should I go and ask each one of you? I'm pretty free today, so I don't have anything to do."

Yan Huailiu chose to trick his apprentice.

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Chang Sui's head immediately drooped.

"Master, don't be angry. This was all our idea."

The sun outside is already quite scorching, so it's not a good idea to stand here and talk.

Yan Huailiu looked around and saw Chang'an Residence not far away, so he walked in with Chang Sui.

Chang Sui was too embarrassed to sit down, so he stood there and explained everything in detail.

"Second Brother told us something last night. This morning, Big Brother took us to see off the guests, and I accidentally overheard them talking nonsense..."

Having said that, Chang Sui looked at Yan Huailiu cautiously, making sure that he didn't have any big reaction before continuing.

"Many of my fellow apprentices were there at the time. They...well, they all knew about this and were very angry. They argued with the guests for a few minutes, but it wasn't a fight."

"Later, I forgot who suggested it, but the brothers took those copied gossip books with them, and when they encountered unreasonable people, they would hit their sore spots and scold them back, to help Master and Senior Brother vent their anger."

Yan Huailiu felt inexplicably sad when he thought of the scene he had just seen.

"We didn't all curse. The eldest brother said that we should be sensible in our actions, otherwise it would cause trouble for Master. So we tried to reason with him first, and only cursed him when he refused to listen..."

Chang Sui slowly approached and tugged at his clothes: "Master, don't worry, we have all been warned, they don't dare to say anything unpleasant..."

"Big Brother said there's no need to bother you with these troublesome things, and he didn't want us to disturb your rest..."

Yan Huailiu didn't know how to describe his current mood. He had been thinking about how to face the people from the sect for so long, but he didn't expect...

"Jingming, don't you have anything to ask me?"
