"Waiting for someone?" Zu'an was stunned. "Waiting for whom?"
“Xie Xiu,” Shang Liuyu slowly uttered a name.
"Xie Xiu?" Zu An was taken aback, but after a moment he immediately realized, "So the beautiful principal also arranged for Xie Xiu to go with her. She is indeed farsighted. With him by her side, the procedures for taking over the Plum Blossom Gang are indeed much easier."
Although Xie Xiu was a bit of a carefree person, he was, after all, the eldest son of the city lord's family. With him around, many official matters were much easier to handle.
Shang Liuyu shook his head: "It's not that Luo Fu arranged for Xie Xiu to go, but that you should go and invite her."
"I'll go and ask him?" Zu'an was dumbfounded.
“Yes,” Shang Liuyu smiled, “It’s not good to let outsiders know that the school accepted 7.5 million taels of silver from you, especially not the Xie family. You’ll have to step in. I’ll pretend to help you then.”
Zuan: "..."
She's so cunning! The beautiful principal's love for wearing black stockings has turned her heart black; she really doesn't miss any opportunity to take advantage of him.
"Are you in a bit of a dilemma?" Shang Liuyu asked considerately.
“No problem.” Zu An shook his head. To be honest, Jiang Luofu had been good enough to him. Anyway, the IOU for 7.5 million taels of silver was just a piece of waste paper in his hands, so he might as well do her a favor. At least Jiang Luofu’s return to him was real.
“Let’s go find Xie Xiu.” In almost an instant, Zu An had already analyzed the pros and cons.
Shang Liuyu naturally had no objections and followed him all the way to the top class, wondering several times about the relationship between Zheng Dan and him.
They were all distracted by Zuan's jokes.
Seeing that he didn't want to talk, Shang Liuyu smiled slightly and didn't press him further.
The two arrived at the top-tier class. Zu An called Xie Xiu out and took the opportunity to observe Chu Chuyan, who clearly rarely came to school.
As for Zheng Dan, he obviously didn't return to class either; we don't know where he went.
"Two... teachers, why did you call me?" After Xie Xiu came out, it was really hard for her to call him "teacher".
After all, looking at Zuan's smug face, it would be hard to call him "teacher" against one's conscience.
Unfortunately, the other party happened to call him out while he was in class, using the guise of a teacher.
As for the teacher who was teaching, he was overjoyed to see Shang Liuyu and didn't care about anything else.
Shang Liuyu smiled slightly: "It's not that I have something to ask you, but rather that Grandmaster...Grandmaster has something to ask you."
Why does it feel so awkward when I call him "teacher"?
Xie Xiu could only look at Zu An with a bitter face: "Zu...Zu..."
Zuan laughed and put his arm around his shoulder: "Let's talk about our own things. We don't need to call you teacher outside of public. Just call me Zuan from now on."
Xie Xiu gave an awkward laugh: "Auntie, what do you want from me?"
Zu An replied, "You witnessed me winning 7.5 million taels of silver from the Plum Blossom Gang last time, right? Mei Chaofeng wrote me an IOU back then, but he's dead now and can't repay it. I have to mortgage his property, and I need some help, so I came to you."
"Looking for me?" Xie Xiu was only interested in women and had never been interested in serious matters, especially since this matter was of great importance. Just as he was about to politely decline, he suddenly noticed Shang Liuyu beside him and couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Why is Teacher Shang with you?"
Zuan said, "Of course, you'll help me collect the debt."
Xie Xiu's eyes widened instantly: "Brother Zu is truly a divine being! You know, Teacher Shang is always aloof and everyone knows he doesn't care about worldly things, yet you managed to persuade him."
Zuan laughed heartily: "You flatter me, you flatter me. I'm just that popular."
Xie Xiu: "..."
He hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed. After all, even if he didn't care about Zu'an, he still had to consider Shang Liuyu's feelings.
A gentle and beautiful female teacher like Shang Liuyu is so popular that no male student in the entire school dislikes her, unless he isn't a man.
Although Xie Xiu didn't have any particularly strong feelings for her, being with such a beautiful woman was still quite a pleasant experience.
As for helping Zuan, that was just a side effect.
"Haha, thank you very much then." Zu'an cupped his hands in thanks, too lazy to care what the real reason was, as long as things were done in the end.
The group then headed out of the school. Of course, when they left the school gate, they were followed by a small team, who were professional talents sent by Jiang Luofu to truly settle accounts with and take over the Plum Blossom Gang's assets.
After all, she knew Shang Liuyu's personality well. It was already a big favor to persuade her to take charge. If she were to be in charge of these trivial matters, Shang Liuyu would most likely turn on her.
Along the way, Xie Xiu used all her skills to keep trying to strike up a conversation with Shang Liuyu.
Although he adhered to the principle of not abandoning the whole forest for the sake of one tree, the tree of Shang Liuyu was too beautiful, which made him waver in his Daoist heart.
So he couldn't help but strike up a conversation with her on the way, and even used the tricks he always used to deceive young ladies.
Unfortunately, Shang Liuyu responded to him politely from beginning to end, but always seemed uninterested.
Sensing the other party's attitude, Xie Xiu, no ordinary person, stopped pressing the matter and instead focused his attention on Zu An: "Brother Zu, I truly admire you more and more."
"What do you admire about me?" Zu'an asked subconsciously, still recalling his interactions with Zheng Dan.
"How exactly did you persuade Teacher Shang? And you even managed to win over Qiu Honglei of Shenxianju before. One time could be a coincidence, but there must be a reason for it happening several times in a row." Xie Xiu looked at him expectantly.
Zuan shook his finger: "You're wrong."
