The next day, early in the morning, the weekly meeting in the teaching and research room.
As usual, there was a lot of nonsense.
Then there was the arrangement of academic affairs for the next week, the coordination of the internal affairs of the school, and many other trivial matters … These things had long been settled by the vice president. Now, at the meeting, it was announced to see who dared to stand up and speak up.
Huai Shi was still sitting in the corner like a salted fish.
Headache.
If he had known, he would not have drunk so much wine.
After shrinking back a little, he lowered his head and pretended to be deep in thought, ready to take a short nap. But he noticed that there were frequent unsettling gazes from the top.
He looked up, and the sight disappeared.
He looked down, and the sight disappeared.
He looked up, and the sight disappeared again …
He glared at Russell. What the hell was this old guy doing?
But Russell was still drinking tea as if nothing had happened.
It was full of arrangements.
He snorted coldly and closed his eyes to rest.
He looked as if he was not in the three realms, and it was futile. No matter what you arrange, don't expect me to respond.
Finally, he heard a familiar voice from the top.
"Speaking of which, there is one more thing that I forgot to inform everyone."
Russell put down his teacup and suddenly said, "Next month, our exchange with Kyoto University should also be on the agenda. We will set off this Friday with Mr. Isaac leading the team. In addition to the teams that have already been scheduled, in accordance with the principle of voluntary registration and participation, who would like to participate in the exchange? "
Although he said so, two eyes were staring straight at Huai Shi.
One was Russell, full of expectation, which meant, "What are you waiting for? Hurry up."
The other was the vice president, full of disdain, which meant, "Go wherever you want, don't come."
These two people stared straight at Huai Shi.
Huai Shi, on the other hand, was wearing headphones, looking down at the music score in his notebook, as if he did not notice. After she calmly finished writing two pages, more and more people in the silent meeting room noticed the two people at the head of the table and looked over at Huai Shi.
Huai Shi was still calm and collected.
He was not moved at all.
Want me to talk? Dream on!
However, Russell was not angry or anxious. Instead, he took the initiative to speak. With concern and expectation for the younger generation, he asked kindly, "Teacher Huai Shi, as a disaster musician, don't you want to communicate with the Yingzhou Philharmonic Orchestra?"
"I'm sorry, Principal."
Huai Shi raised his head and calmly retorted, "Their cellist skills are notoriously bad in the industry. There's nothing to talk about."
Russell was stunned. "Is that so?"
"Yes, that's right."
Huai Shi nodded solemnly, with a look that said, "I'm talking nonsense. I'm not going. Hit me if you have the ability."
"Since that's the case, let's have Teacher Huai Shi guide him."
Russell smiled and turned to the vice-principal. "Write down his name."
… Motherf * cker, are you waiting for me here?!
"Sorry, it's my ex-girlfriend's birthday next month, so I have to take annual leave to go to London. “
Huai Shi made up a lie that he didn't even know what kind of lie it was and sighed sadly. "Although I have lost this relationship, I hope there's still a glimmer of possibility to recover it. It doesn't matter even if it's a wasted trip. "
Russell was shocked. "When did you have a girlfriend?"
Huai Shi smiled and raised his finger to point at his head. "Principal, look at my face. Do I look like someone who can't find a girlfriend?"
"…"
Then, taking advantage of the short period of time when Russell was stunned, Huai Shi immediately used a stomachache as an excuse to leave early and run away.
Oh, I've grown up, Russell!
You want to set me up again?
Dream on!
.
.
In the afternoon, in the corridor outside the meditation room.
"Thank you for your long-term care, Professor."
Sasaki knelt on the ground and bowed his head. "Please forgive me for not staying long."
Behind the paper door, an old voice coughed.
"Are you leaving now, Sasaki-kun?"
Sasaki didn't speak, but lowered his head and closed his eyes with guilt. It was difficult to repay the professor's kindness.
"Then go. Don't worry about me, an old man. Isn't this the so-called samurai? You have to set foot on the battlefield. "The old man behind the paper door slowly got up and stared at the figure outside the door.
After a long silence, the old man whispered, "Kindness is important, but … I also hope that one day I can drink with Sasaki-kun again.
Just like in the story, when it's over, you and I will meet again under the cherry tree, drink, sing songs, and laugh. We won't go home until we're drunk. "
"Even if we can't make it in time, it doesn't matter if the cherry blossoms fail …"
Please come back safely.
The old man didn't say the last sentence in the end.
He just tidied up his clothes, propped up his decaying body, sat upright, and said goodbye to the friend he met in the mortal world. "Take care of yourself."
Sasaki didn't speak anymore. He got up and left.
He was already in tears.
.
.
After seeing Sasaki off at the station, Huai Shi returned home.
He was still immersed in the sadness of parting.
Then, he saw the red letter on the table.
"Fang Shu, what's this?"
He scratched his head, instinctively feeling that something was wrong.
"I don't know. It was just sent by express," Fang Shu replied, "I always feel that it's not a good thing. How about I throw it away for you?"
Huai Shi frowned, lowered his head, and carefully looked at the letter on the table, turning it around.
It was as if he was looking at a bomb package.
There was something wrong with this thing!
But as soon as he picked up the letter, it disintegrated in his hand, revealing an iron plate the size of a business card, branded with the logo of the Cooking Demon Competition Organizing Committee.
[Hell: Cooking Demon Competition Designated]
The first line of big words made Huai Shi's eyes twitch.
The aura of an arrangement came back again.
[Mr. Huai Shi, according to the customer's special request, you have a Cooking Demon Competition to be held in Nara, Yingzhou, in half a month. We hope that you can continue to promote Hell's food and beverage culture in the competition, creating new achievements and new heights.
— Hell Cooking Demon Competition Organizing Committee]
"…"
In the silence, Huai Shi's expression changed, as if on a color palette.
Cooking Demon Competition Designated …
A designated task from the Hell Cooking Demon Competition Organizing Committee.
Huai Shi took a deep breath and roared at the sky.
"Russell, you old bastard!"
Ten minutes later, Huai Shi finally finished cursing. He calmed down a little, pinched his chin, and thought for a while. Finally, he took out his phone and called Hu Po.
As if she had been waiting for a long time, the call was quickly connected.
"Stinky sister, who told you to call me?" Huai Shi asked bluntly.
On the other end, Hu Po was quite calm, and her answer was concise.
"Big Cousin."
Fine … …
Zhu Hongchen's arrangement was also on the way?
What kind of shameful deal have the two of you made behind my back?! "
Huai Shi harrumphed coldly, "Sorry, but I'm not going!"
The other party seemed to be in a good mood, as if she were laughing. "You owe me a favor, Huai Shi."
Huai Shi rolled his eyes.
She was referring to the reminder Huai Shi had given him when he had taken Ai Qing with him.
"You can't possibly treat that as a favor, right? You were defeated by me, okay? Little Sister Hu Po, don't be mistaken. "
"That's fine." Hu Po shrugged. "The Mystic Bird said that you also owe him a favor."
"… …"
Huai Shi was once again rendered speechless.
He could deny the first, but he couldn't deny the second.
After all, he hadn't been able to control himself after being drugged by the Origin Reversal Medicine, which had allowed him to ascend to the Creation Wood Tier. He had gone in and out of the Eastern Summer Country like he was in a hotel, jumping around repeatedly.
The Azure Emperor had even lent him Mount Tai for free!
If it had been anyone else, they would have died a long time ago.
Did he think that the White Wolf Hook and Painting Scroll were a joke?
After a long silence, Huai Shi couldn't help but sigh. "I say, the Eastern Summer Country Country Country has a lot of businesses, so there's no need to keep an eye on a sheep like me, right?"
"Who said that I'm only keeping an eye on you?"
Hu Po asked back. "Besides, although I really don't want to call you, I have to admit that you have advantages that others don't have."
"Good looks?" Huai Shi sneered. "Miss, I sell my skills, not my body."
"Huai Shi, if I wanted to find a male prostitute, there are plenty of them in the streets and alleys of the capital. Why would I find you to be unhappy?" Hu Po sighed. "Of course it's because you're cheap."
Huai Shi was stunned. "How cheap?"
"Seventy million." The number Hu Po reported gave him a fright.
"Heh … …"
Before Huai Shi could squeeze out a sneer, he heard the unit Hu Po added, "US dollars."
"… … You call this cheap?"
Huai Shi's knees suddenly went soft. He couldn't believe it. "Do you Chinese all use money printing machines?"
"What a joke. How can money printing machines make as much money as being Chinese?"
Hu Po snorted in disdain. "How much do you think the Rijian family's name and position as the head of the family is worth? How much is the Rijian family's family supervisor worth? The Anfang family's guardian? The Guan Shan Group's shares … … "
"Okay, stop talking. I know I'm a country bumpkin!"
Huai Shi's face twitched.
Although she gave a lot of money, Huai Shi still didn't waver. "Miss Hu Po, even a country bumpkin has a backbone! Don't use money to humiliate me.
Let's just leave it like this and — — "
Before he could finish the word "see", he heard a voice from the other side.
"Yuzhi Treasure."
？？？
Huai Shi frowned. "What's Yuzhi? Do you guys build a treasure house just for Matcha? "
"You know what I'm talking about, Huai Shi. Don't play dumb."
Hu Po said coldly. "I'm talking about the Capital City's Equal Court, the treasure house of Ying Zhou's lineage — — Yuzhi Treasure. Didn't you want to say goodbye? Let's just leave it like this. "
"Wait!"
Huai Shi raised his voice. "As a Matcha lover, I want to hear a few more sentences! Tell me in detail. This is what I like to hear! "
"… …"
On the other end of the phone, Rijian Hu Po took a deep breath and resisted the urge to hack this guy to death through the phone.
"The Capital City's Equal Court is one of the most important bases of Ying Zhou's lineage. The Yuzhi Treasure is where the Origin Codex of many Stigmata miracles are stored.
Among them, the most precious are the remains of the four great demons. They're comparable to the crystals of the Philosopher's Stone. They're shared by all Chinese. In fact, each family gets a few different portions. "
Rijian Hu Po directly stated the price. "If I can become the head, then the Rijian family's portion can be given to you."
Huai Shi swallowed his saliva and asked, "Please enlighten me. What are the four great demons?"
"Shutendoji, one of the pinnacle of Ying Zhou's evil spirits. Otsuhimaru, formed by the degeneration of divinity. Tamamo, the demon fox with the highest degree of distortion. Finally, the third generation Daitengu with the highest achievement in cultivation.
You can choose from them. Even if the Rijian family doesn't have it, I'll exchange it for you. "
Seeing that Hu Po had spoken up to this point, he changed the topic. "However, this is something I'm giving you, so your job won't be as easy as before.
Similarly, I can't give you an advance payment. Only by becoming the head will you have the right to enter. Therefore, you'll only be rewarded if you succeed. Let's get the ugly words out of the way first. You have to consider it carefully. "
"Aiya, look at what you're saying!"
Huai Shi's voice suddenly became gentle. "Hu Po, you're really too much. We're so close and you're talking about rewards. My good sister is in trouble. How can I just stand by and watch her die … …"
"Enough." The girl on the other end of the phone took a deep breath. "Please don't say things that make my stomach uncomfortable."
"What a coincidence. I also have stomach problems." Huai Shi sighed sympathetically. "The doctor said that it'll be fine if you live off a woman, but I'm afraid you don't have that ability."
"Huai — — Shi — —"
Cracking sounds came from the other end of the phone. It was as if the phone was about to be crushed.
"Alright, there's no need to say anymore. I'll be there next week!"
Huai Shi rubbed his hands excitedly. "Us brother and sister are of the same mind. Our sharpness can cut through metal. Come on, fight! Victory belongs to you, Hu Po dear! Heart to heart ~ "
Bang!
The phone was finally completely crushed.
