When the treasury officer arrived, everyone became very alert. Shen Jiezhu and the museum directors stood up and greeted them with the etiquette of the younger generation.

It wasn't the first time for everyone to meet. Jeon Hee-jin, the oldest among them, spoke on behalf of the others and asked everyone to sit down and not be too nervous. They just heard that there was a disciple competition and wanted to come and take a look. There was no other intention.

These are her original words, but it is hard to say whether she had any other meaning.

As the organizer of the fortune-telling hall, Director Chi originally wanted to give them space and let them sit in their own seats, but was rejected.

"Don't bother, we can just take a look. Director, please take a seat. We can sit next to you."

Quan Xizhen brought a few people and sat next to her, next to Shen Jiezhu.

Shen Jiezhu originally thought that Quan Xizhen would sit next to her, but in the end it was An Sheng who sat closest to her.

This arrangement...

Shen Jiezhu didn't understand. She was the only one she wasn't familiar with, An Sheng. She had been planning to chat with them, but now what could she say in this situation?

Out of courtesy, Shen Jiezhu still greeted An Sheng very friendly: "Nice to meet you again, An..."

She subconsciously wanted to call him An Sheng, but she felt that he seemed older than her, so it was not a good idea to call him that. At this moment, she suddenly remembered that everyone used to call him Mr. An, so she should also call him Mr. An?

"Mr. An."

Sure enough, this title is much more comfortable.

Shen Jiezhu squinted her eyes very casually, but An Sheng was slightly stunned when he heard this title.

Mr. An?

Oh……

"Seeing you again, Miss Shen, it seems we have a connection."

Is it fate?

Shen Jiezhu didn't say anything, but that's not necessarily the case...

"Ms. Shen, do you think what I said is wrong?"

An Sheng asked again, and Shen Jiezhu looked up in response, looking at the man in front of her who was dressed like a gentleman, with gold-rimmed glasses that were neat and tidy. The warmth in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows was like a spring breeze, which would make people unconsciously let down their guard.

People like this are most likely to mislead others. Tsk tsk tsk, stay away from them.

Shen Jiezhu curled her eyes, raised her hand solemnly, and made a calculating gesture: "I am the best at calculating fate. Wait a moment, Mr. An, I will calculate it."

An Sheng raised his eyebrows at her, indicating that he should listen to her.

Shen Jiezhu muttered something in a mysterious way for a while, then put down her hand: "Well, it's just like what Xiao An always said, we are destined to be together, a great fate!"

"Oh? Great fate? What is great fate?"

"It's the kind of fate that might have been a relative in a previous life."

"Relatives, that's really a great affinity. Maybe I'm the older brother and you're the younger sister."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah."

Shen Jiezhu's answer was not sincere, so sincere that it was perfunctory. The curators listened to their chat and wanted to persuade Shen Jiezhu to be a little more polite. They couldn't afford to offend this person!

Shen Jiezhu was eager to end the topic. It was too much effort to talk to someone like An Sheng. He was full of traps and she would fall into them if she wasn't careful. And he always said something meaningful, such as fate, brother and sister...

I'm so tired, my brain cells are almost dying, is there anything I can't just say?

Shen Jiezhu's attitude of refusing to chat was very obvious, but An Sheng was unusually not angry. He just looked at the ear hole in her left ear and chuckled.

Shen Jiezhu looked around boredly, and suddenly, her scattered vision focused and she found something very interesting.

She looked at the curators on her right, all wearing uniform black suits.

Look at the presidents on the left, they are also wearing black dresses.

She looked down at her pale blue cheongsam, cape, and the delicate little flowers.

No, did they agree to wear black clothes without telling me? Or... is it illegal to wear colorful clothes with flowers in Han country?

Don't understand.

Shen Jiezhu was originally sitting at the edge, but now that they are here, she has become the center of attention. Especially against the backdrop of other people wearing black clothes, she is the most eye-catching person in this row.

Looking at the excited eyes of the disciples below the stage, Shen Jiezhu quietly moved to the inside of her seat and said, "Director, can we continue? Except for the Feng Shui Hall, the other halls have not responded yet."

And so, in the strange atmosphere of Caivalin's presence, the game continued.

Shen Jiezhu sat in her seat, watching helplessly as the disciples from the other three halls failed to learn their skills well, moved the stones around, and finally messed up the feng shui of the fortune-telling hall.

Once the feng shui is messed up, the weather will also be messed up.

For half an hour, there was wind, rain and thunder. The lightning struck An Sheng's chair in an irregular direction and almost knocked it off.

Fortunately, Shen Jiezhu reacted quickly and stepped aside to distract the crowd, thus avoiding a collectively embarrassing situation.

Director Chi's hands were shaking as he gripped the handrail. If there hadn't been other people present, he would have exploded long ago.

Finally, the Feng Shui Center Director's test was over.

Director Chi wiped the sweat from his forehead, waved his hand tremblingly, gave the first-place Feng Shui Hall ten points, and pretended to be very happy, praising them for their young and promising talents.

Ha ha ha ha!

Shen Jiezhu was watching the show while cracking melon seeds.

These melon seeds were not hers. They were prepared by the curator for An Sheng and others. An Sheng refused to eat them, so out of the spirit of cherishing food, she had no choice but to help him.

The fruits and other things that came with the melon seeds naturally also went into Shen Jiezhu's stomach.

Among the four halls, except for the fortune-telling hall, the other three seemed to have agreed to deal with the fortune-telling hall together. The questions asked by the directors were tricky and strange, but each question would target the fortune-telling hall intentionally or unintentionally.

The physiognomy shop insists on reading the fortune for the fortune-teller.

The wizard house said that they had hidden ghosts in various corners of the fortune-telling house in advance, and asked everyone to find them at the specified time.

Shen Jiezhu watched them fighting each other, not trying to hide her joy at watching the show.

At the end of the competition, the Wizarding Hall and the Fortune Telling Hall were tied, and the other two teams ranked third and fourth respectively.

Next, we will compete for first place.

But the four curators had already finished their questions, and Shen Jiezhu was looking forward to what the overtime would look like. Just as she was looking forward to new tricks, the four curators' eyes turned to her.

Shen Jiezhu:???

Four curators: Zhuzhu, do you understand what we mean?

Shen Jiezhu pointed at herself in disbelief: "No, you're not asking me to do it, are you?"

"Yes! Zhuzhu is indeed smart!"

"I knew you were prepared, Zhuzhu, hahaha!!"

"Don't be soft-hearted, Zhuzhu. Just train them!"

…

Shen Jiezhu blinked and helplessly put down the watermelon she had just picked up. No wonder, she kept calling from abroad, insisting that she must participate. It turned out that he was waiting here.

If that's the case, then it's not her fault. She had already prepared a gift for everyone, but there had never been a suitable opportunity. Today, she finally got it.

Being stared at by dozens of pairs of eyes, Shen Jiezhu finally took action. In full view of everyone, she bent down and opened the wooden box next to her seat.

He took out a gourd from it.

Much requested gourd.

Anyone who has watched her episode of "Please Take Care of My Refrigerator" knows that this gourd is used to pretend to be a ghost.

Is she going to let the ghost out?

Using ghosts to train disciples is exciting!

Just as everyone guessed, Shen Jiezhu really wanted to let her disciples practice in actual combat. Although today's disciple competition was quite interesting, it happened to be missing something very important.

She's going to take a drastic measure and let everyone know about this thing!

Shen Jiezhu was just about to open the gourd, but thinking that Madam Jiang, Chairman Quan, and An Sheng might not be able to see this thing, she had to add a step before releasing the ghost.

Draw a revealing talisman on the gourd.

In this way, everyone in the place can see them, and only by seeing them can they feel involved. Otherwise, what's the point of watching the disciples running around?

After doing all this, she opened the gourd and said, "My conditions are simple. Defeat these ghosts I released."

As soon as she finished speaking, someone in the audience asked her.

"Master Shen, can you kill him? What if you kill him by accident?"

Sister Shen was happy: "As long as we can kill him, we can do it!"

With Shen Jiezhu's words, the disciples immediately became energetic, holding their weapons and staring at the ghosts that ran out of the gourd. There were six in total, old and young, male and female, and they seemed to be caught at random, and it seemed that their fighting ability was not very high.

There are only six of them, and there are twelve of them!

There isn't a demon like the one just now, how can we lose when two are against one?

impossible!

Everyone shouted and rushed forward.

"Ouch... bang!"

He failed before he could even begin. A twelve-year-old girl could kick him away with one kick.

Everyone became nervous instantly. It seemed that these six people were not as easy to fight as they thought!

After a minute's standoff, the two sides finally started fighting.

The six ghosts were well trained by Sister Shen. Apart from the people they should attack, they would not touch anyone else sitting next to them. Sometimes they would even protect them to prevent them from being hit by flying stones. They were completely the guardian angels of mankind.

The disciples watching were deeply moved and their eyes filled with tears.

Some people actually switched sides on the battlefield and started supporting the little devils.

"Come on, senior brother! Come on, little sister!" This is a typical fence-sitter who doesn't want to offend either side.

"Master is awesome! Master is handsome! Master's walking stick is still intact!" This is directly abandoning one's master and turning to the dark side.

“Senior brothers! Senior brothers, be careful!” This means always standing with the senior brothers.

All kinds of noises filled the field, with both sides fighting fiercely.

It was the first time that Mrs. Jiang had seen such a scene. She never expected that in this peaceful age, she could actually see such an exciting fight, and it was even legal!

Various props fell from the ceiling, making the air around them tense and chaotic.

At this moment, she suddenly understood why the nobles in the ancient Roman Colosseum were obsessed with the fight between beasts and beasts, because such a scene was really exciting!

She had been bored for too long and was in urgent need of something interesting to liven up her mood. If she invested in building a new metaphysics museum to host this kind of activity, wouldn't she be able to see such exciting scenes more often?

Great idea!

Mrs. Jiang's plan gradually took shape in her mind. Shen Jiezhu noticed the infatuation on her face, frowned imperceptibly, and looked away.

She has a problem.

Be careful.

Soon, the tie between the two sides was no longer balanced. Everyone could clearly see that the metaphysical team of twelve people was gradually losing. The cooperation of the six people was too good. Their sneak attacks were useless and they would be intercepted by them halfway.

It's fine to intercept them, they will fight back in the same way.

They can't win at all.

Is the Xuanxue Pavilion going to fail? And in a disciple competition, this is simply a great humiliation!

The other disciples were so angry that they clenched their fists.

Seeing that the mood was almost there, Shen Jiezhu waved her hand and told them: "The third and fourth groups can also join in and practice together."

Twelve more people joined.

They originally wanted to use a wheel battle to wear down the six of them, but unexpectedly, in the end, they were defeated by the six of them.

After the big fight, twenty-four people all hung their heads, some sitting on the ground, some lying down, and some standing.

The six ghosts hugged each other to celebrate, throwing the little girl up and catching her again, just like when they were alive.

The atmosphere became increasingly depressing amid their laughter and cheers; even a few curators looked unhappy.

Shen Jiezhu waited until they finished celebrating before she smiled and said, "You played well. You didn't disappoint me. I thought you could handle twelve people, but you could handle twenty-four. That's amazing!"

After praising the little ghosts, Shen Jiezhu patted the gourd, called them back, and put them into the wooden box.

Turning back, in the atmosphere of decadence, she stood up, took two steps forward, lowered her eyes slightly, and spoke in a very calm tone.

“What a pity.”

…

"You are very powerful. You are very familiar with the techniques in your own hall and can use them freely. However, you have lost something very important. I originally wanted to use this method to help you find it back, but now it seems that it is of no use at all."

Shen Jiezhu sighed and continued, "Twelve people can't beat six people, and twenty-four people can't beat them either. Why? Obviously, there are six of them, including men, women, young and old, with varying fighting abilities. Unlike you, you are all young and strong. Why is that?"

The disciples lowered their heads and dared not say a word. Several directors looked ashamed and did not respond.

Shen Jiezhu tilted her head, her eyes dark and full of confusion: "Actually, I also want to ask you why? I want to ask you, are you enemies to each other?"

Enemy? ? !

Everyone was stunned.

What does this mean?

An Sheng had already seen the problem, but he was just waiting for Shen Jiezhu to say these two words. Just now he was worried that Shen Jiezhu would go off topic, but now it seems that they both thought the same thing.

I have to say that Shen Jiezhu has a good business sense.

She is smart and can think of many things about other people. She can also use examples to explain problems instead of directly explaining the reasons.

Failure is more likely to leave a deep impression on people than success. After this tragic failure, the metaphysics circle is going to be reshuffled.

Maybe the four museums can be merged into one?

If this is true, then she would be the most suitable candidate for head coach.

"The four halls are on guard against each other and have no trust in each other. More than 20 people, belonging to the same metaphysical circle, are calculating against each other, fearing that others will get a little more benefits!"

"Six ghosts of different ages, identities, and status, yet they can cooperate so seamlessly? I just want to ask, you are the same age and identity, how about your cooperation? Are you a team? Are you enemies? The four metaphysical halls have the same origin and inherit the same things, but they are divided into what they are today!"

"More than twenty people were beaten to the point of being unable to get up by six ghosts. If this story got out, it would be hilarious!"

"With the division like this, holding a disciple competition will only deepen the hatred between you and will not bring any benefit. You can't learn anything from such a good exchange opportunity. You can't see the strengths of others and only want to pull them down. With such thoughts, who would dare to cooperate with you?"

"Let's just disband and do whatever we need to do!"
