"Bet? What bet? What kind of bet? "
In the main hall, Yan Silu heard that Wang Ji wanted to bet with him. He raised his eyebrows and asked in a deep voice.
Wang Ji thought about it and didn't answer directly. Instead, he looked at Li Zexuan and asked, "Xiao Xuan, how much longer until Yanhuang College starts school?"
When Li Zexuan heard this, he could roughly guess what Wang Ji wanted to do. He thought for a while and replied, "The academy will officially open on the 18th of September. Counting the days, there are only eight days left. However, I don't plan to let the students attend classes in the first month of their enrollment. I have other plans for this month. So, if Mr. Wang wants to read 'Chemistry' in this period of time, I can give you forty days ~!"
Wang Ji's heart tightened when he heard that there were still ten days left. However, when he heard the second half of the sentence, he couldn't help but smile. He laughed and said, "Okay! I don't need forty days. Thirty days is enough! "
Then, he looked at Yan Silu and said, "Konggui, let's set a limit of one month. After a month, Xiao Xuan can choose from this book. At that time, if I can't answer all of them correctly, I won't be able to bring up the matter of teaching at the academy anymore! If I can pass Xiao Xuan's test, then it should be worth the salary of five buckets of wine a month, right? At that time, I don't need you to apologize to me. You just need to treat me to wine for a month! How about that? "
Yan Silu's face darkened. He wasn't an idiot. How could he not see the loophole in this bet? Old Man Yan's face darkened. He said unhappily, "No matter if I win or lose, it doesn't benefit me at all. Why should I bet?"
Wang Ji defended himself. "Hey! Brother Yan, you can't say that! If you don't accept this bet, what if I really have an undeserved reputation like you said? When I enter the academy to teach, won't I lead the students astray? And aren't those students also your students, Brother Yan ~? So, if Brother Yan is really thinking about the future of your future students, then you must accept this bet. Don't you think so ~? "
Speaking of this, Wang Ji couldn't help but despise himself in his heart. Shameless, really too shameless, but what can I do ~? He used to be a hermit! Not only did he not have a way to earn money, but he also had to drink every meal. In this way, he was really penniless now. What could he use to gamble with Yan Silu? He couldn't possibly ask his brother Wang Jing for it, right? In any case, Wang Ji couldn't bring himself to do it. Thus, he could only use his mouth to gain something without risking anything.
Encountering such a shameless old rogue, everyone in the room was a little embarrassed. They all wanted to cover their faces to show that they didn't know this person. Yan Silu was even more speechless. He pursed his lips and resisted the urge to curse. Finally, he said gloomily,
"Alright! This old man will accept this bet! I hope you remember what I said today. If you can't pass Little Xuan's test after 30 days, please leave the Yanhuang Academy! Little Xuan, you can't take extra care of him when the time comes ~! "
He wasn't deliberately targeting Wang Ji. In terms of personal relationships, he and Wang Ji could be considered good friends. The reason why he was acting like this was because he felt that Wang Ji's personality wasn't suitable to be a teacher at all. That was why he was strongly against it.
Li Zexuan quickly replied, "I understand!"
Wang Ji was very dissatisfied and snorted, "Hmph! What kind of person do you think I am ~? Even if I lose, I will lose fair and square ~! "
Then, he said to Li Zexuan, "Little Xuan, how about this old man also make a bet with you ~?"
Li Zexuan's face was full of black lines. After this old guy tricked Wanyan Silu, he wanted to trick him too ~! However, Li Zexuan was also very curious as to whether Wang Ji could thoroughly study the first volume of "Chemistry" within a month. Thus, he said, "Mr. Wang, feel free to say it ~!"
Wang Ji squinted his eyes and smiled, "Little Xuan, as the Yamachō of the College, if this old man can pass the test in 30 days, then this old man's salary will be set at five buckets of Tenderness ~? If this old man can't pass the test, then this old man won't disturb you and will go back to my hometown ~! "
At this moment, Wang Ji was ruthless in his heart and thought to himself, This old man is going all out for this one month. Last year, this old man was willing to drop eight levels in order to drink at the Tai Le Department. Now, in order to drink more delicious Tenderness, this old man is willing to study hard for a month ~!
Sure enough, this is another cunning bet ~!
The corner of Li Zexuan's mouth twitched. After a moment, he stretched out a finger and said, "Without rules, nothing can be accomplished. This old man has already stated clearly on the newspaper about the treatment that you will receive from the College. How about this, a bucket of Immortal Drunken Wine and five buckets of money, this is the most this old man can do for you. What do you think ~?"
Li Zexuan did this to uphold the rules of the College. Secondly, he was afraid that Wang Ji would really give him five buckets of wine every month. At that time, Wang Ji would probably be so poor that he would have no food to eat and would have to drink every day.
Wang Ji was slightly disappointed. However, when he thought that Li Zexuan had promised that the wine was Immortal Drunken Wine, he felt somewhat better. After all, Immortal Drunken Wine was much stronger than Tenderness. If he drank every day sparingly, a bucket of wine would be enough to last him a month. (This old man was actually afraid that 12 buckets of highly concentrated white wine would not be enough for a month. If Li Zexuan knew what this old man was thinking, he would definitely vomit blood.) Thus, he nodded and said,
"That's good. This old man is not an unreasonable person. It's settled then ~! In the following days, this old man will often look for you to teach me. You brat, don't think that this old man is annoying ~! "
Li Zexuan had already said this. How could he refuse? He could only say, "Sir, feel free to come. This old man will definitely not have any complaints ~!"
After hearing this, Wang Ji happily hugged the "Chemistry" textbook, stood up and said, "Haha ~! That's good ~! Kong Gui, Wen Ji, Brother Mo, this old man will go back to study first. Goodbye ~! "
As soon as he finished speaking, the old man actually slipped away nimbly. His speed was so fast that it did not seem like a person of his age ~!
Li Zexuan could not help but shout from behind, "Hey, Mr. Wang, wait. Do you have a place to stay in Chang 'an ~?"
From the conversation between Li Gang, Yan Silu, and the others, he vaguely understood Wang Ji's current situation. That was why he asked this question.
Old Man Wang's reply came from outside the door. "Oh … Little Xuan, you don't have to worry. This old man has a younger brother in Chang 'an. I can stay with him for a few days. When Yanhuang College reopens, this old man will move to the college to live ~! There should be a place for this old man to stay ~? "
Li Zexuan said, "Of course there is ~! But in a while, I plan to bring all of you to visit Yanhuang College. Why don't Mr. Wang come along ~? "
"I'm not going, I'm not going ~! No matter how luxurious it is, it's just a pile of dead things. There will be opportunities to meet in the future. Don't delay this old man's studies ~! "
After saying this, the sound of the mansion door opening could be heard. After that, Wang Ji's movements could no longer be heard.
