Chapter 202: Problem of the Century
The guest room is not big, but it is clean and simple. The fragrance of tea on the table floats in the air with the rising heat. A simple wind chime is hung on the window eaves, swaying in the breeze and making a clear and pleasant sound.
Yian and Qichi, two handsome boys, were sitting by the bed, whispering something to each other. From time to time, their eyes curved into crescent shapes and they laughed softly.
Sitting at the square table in the center were Jun Lin, Yan Yu and Wen Suili. This was definitely a master-disciple relationship.
Normally, Yunyu always stayed away because of the difference in status, so this was the first time these three had the opportunity to sit down at the same table and talk.
Jun Lin patted Yan Yu's arm and raised his eyes in Wen Sui Li's direction: "Call me Master."
The young man absolutely obeyed his master's orders and called Wen Suili "Master" in a humble manner.
After calling, everyone was stunned, Master???
Wen Suili was even more confused than him. When did I have a disciple?
Suddenly, two confused and shocked eyes fell on Jun Lin, making Jun Lin feel like she didn't know whether to drink the tea she had just raised or not. She asked Yun Yu in confusion, "When I accepted you as my apprentice, didn't I tell you that my master's name was Wen Suili?"
Yanyu was dumbfounded. You did say that! But usually everyone calls him the high priest, who knows he is Wen Suili!
She turned her head and looked at Wen Suili, saying sincerely, "I must have reported this important matter of accepting a disciple to my master. Did you forget what I said?"
Wen Suili was even more dumbfounded. I remember everything you said, even the smallest thing as small as a sesame seed. You can't take advantage of my bad memory and deceive me. You never said this at all, okay!
Not only has it not been said, not even a hint of it has been leaked.
She finally figured out the legendary telepathic response.
Jun Lin: I want to quietly recruit a disciple and then surprise everyone!
Wen Suili was really surprised. It turned out that the feeling that her little cotton jacket was leaking recently was not just an illusion. Was it because she went to warm other people's hearts?
He frowned slightly without leaving any trace, and looked at the jade politely and with great discretion with his bright eyes.
Yanyu's body was tense and stiff, his hands tightly grasping the edge of the fabric, his narrow eyes narrowed into round cat eyes, and he waited for his master's comments in fear and panic.
The long silence seemed to sentence him to death. The young man felt like a wilted flower. It didn't matter how strong the storm was, he had lost all hope of living.
"He's a good candidate for martial arts."
With a "swoosh", Yanyu felt that he was alive again!
"As a teacher, I have no objection to accepting him as my disciple."
With a "swish" sound, Yuyu felt that she could bloom two more small flowers!
"But I have a question."
Wen Suili used to have no interest in the boring debates among his subordinates in private, but now he thinks this makes sense and can measure a person's status and weight in the other person's heart.
Jun Lin: "Master, please speak."
The man looked serious, as if he was asking a question that could change the world: "If I and Yunyu fell into the water at the same time, who would you save first?"
Jun Lin: “……?”
Even the two young boys who were happily chatting beside the bed were paused. Yi An was quite surprised to see the unfamiliar side of his brother. Qi Chi stared with eyes wide open in surprise and suspicion, waiting for the answer to the problem of the century with curiosity.
Nowadays, if a wife and mother fall into the water, who would you save first? In ancient times, if a master and his apprentice fell into the water, who would you save first? Some cultures have been passed down for thousands of years and will never become outdated, which made Jun Lin choke up for a moment.
She wondered, "But you all can float."
Wen Suili smiled slightly: "What if none of us can do it?"
Please answer the teacher's questions carefully.
Jun Lin understood clearly that even a rabbit will bite when it is cornered.
She considered: "Based on my ability, I can lift them all up with one hand."
Yu Yu kindly explained for Wen Suili: "That's not the case, Master. Master means that you must make a choice between saving them first and saving them later. Saving them together is too opportunistic."
This will make it difficult for Junlin, the fair master who treats everyone equally.
Not only did she want to punch the unpopular and somewhat malicious Yunyu, she was also helpless with Wen Suili's reluctance to give in. She thought that the answer to this question would be worse than a collision between Mars and the Earth, destroying the world.
Jun Lin was like a lonely bird, taking a tentative step on the dangerous river bank: "I will never forget the kindness of Master's teachings. In this situation, I should save Master..."
At a glance, I saw Yanyu with his non-existent dog tail and ears hanging down, his head lowered in frustration.
She quickly retracted her foot and took another step forward: "My apprentice has just been accepted by me as my disciple and hasn't learned many skills yet. He is not well-trained and cannot protect himself, so I should save him..."
He glanced again and saw Wen Suili's tolerant and generous face pretending to be strong, which said "It's okay, I'm good and I won't cry", which made Jun Lin's body tremble with excitement.
It is indeed the problem of the century. Emperor Jing agreed and gave it a thumbs up.
She simply put on a sly smile and said, "It doesn't matter. I'll jump into the river and see who drowns first among the three of us."
Yu Yu: “…”
Wen Suili: “…”
Qi Chi was so amused that he burst into laughter, but he tried to suppress his smile. However, his slightly shaking shoulders revealed his mood.
He likes this feeling, which is daily and warm. It would be a pleasure to see this scene every day when the world is at peace.
Wen Suili sighed and said, "You'd better keep this a secret from your senior brother, or he will kill you."
Gongqing usually does not show off his wealth, but his possessiveness is definitely the top priority. The idea that "three Guiguzi are enough" is no joke. If he knew that Jun Lin had set up a trap to help him, he would kill Yanyu with a cold eye.
Jun Lin was rarely silent for a moment, then he patted Yan Yu's shoulder heavily and said in a low voice: "In the new year, your teacher will set a new goal for you."
Yan Yu was shocked: "Master, please speak."
She mourned: "Alive."
Yu Yu: “……?”
Seeing his confused expression that made him doubt his life, everyone in the room couldn't hold back their laughter any longer. Yian supported his chin with his hands and glanced at everyone with lingering eyes, as if he wanted to engrave these happy and beautiful memories in his mind forever.
When the atmosphere became lively, everyone let go of their initial nervousness and discomfort, and their conversations became more natural and cordial. Wen Suili then earnestly reminded Yunyu: "Take good care of Xiaolin during this trip to southern Xinjiang."
Yanyu showed great respect and love to the master: "Yes."
His eyes shifted to Jun Lin and said, "Be careful of Le Zhou."
Jun Lin nodded: "I will naturally not let down my guard after being bitten by a snake. Please rest assured, Master, I will finish what I need to do quickly and let you see the day you want to see."
Wen Suili was stunned for a moment, then his brows softened and his expression became as lively and bright as a spring breeze: "Okay."
Yi An also whispered to Qi Chi: "Have you thought about it? You might die if you return to Southern Xinjiang this time."
Qi Chi, who had been informed of what might happen in the future during a previous chat with Yi An, mustered up his courage and made up his mind to move forward: "If I don't go, Brother Lin and Brother Yan will be in danger, right?"
"If only I could save them—"
He clenched his fists slightly, and his round amber eyes were filled with starlight: "I am willing to go back."
Yi An put his index finger on his pale pink lips and smiled, his scarlet eyes gleaming with joy: "In the years that I have listened to the oracle, I have seen all kinds of human nature. Some are warm and kind like a piece of transparent jade, and some are smelly and cold like a rat in a gutter. Although the evil side of human nature often dominates, I still like humans."
He raised his lips, his smile was like the bright peach blossoms blooming on the branches: "Knowing that they are weak, they can still endure the fear and go to die. The human soul exudes the strength and boldness of a moth flying into a flame, pure and clear, so I always fall in love with this world over and over again, and fall in love with the stubborn and hopeless human beings."
