C2 (1/2)

As an official, you are just an official. As you have some money, you can still enjoy it after retiring. Your son, Bai Qi, is an official in Sichuan. Therefore, even though it was for the sake of living and leisure, government officials were unable to drag things on.

As Mr Wu stepped into the back garden, the white jade steps greeted him from the parlour.

White Jade Rank was thin and didn't seem to be 60 years old. At this age, it seemed a little too early to retire.

”Mr. Wu?” Neglect! ”Halt!” Bai Yu Chi greeted Mr. Wu and welcomed him into the parlour.

It seemed that this was the first time they had met, and they had mutual respect and courtesies. White Jade Step immediately said, ”I've heard that my husband is building a house here. He has been wanting to visit us for a long time. He's been too busy. The place hasn't been peaceful recently, so he rarely goes out.”

”The reason why I invited Mr. Wu to come today is all because of Ol 'Nine's recommendation. Other than asking for mister's help in settling the accounts, it's mainly because I want to borrow mister's talent …”

”Mr. Bai, if you have something to say, please say it. I will definitely do my best.”

”Alright!” The white jade step raised two fingers and said, ”There are two things. The first is because you know that Teacher has great talent and the place hasn't been peaceful recently. You know that and would like to consult your defense method.”

Without waiting for the other party to reply, she said the second thing, ”The second thing is that I have a daughter who practices martial arts. You can speak to her if you want.”

Mr Wu nodded slightly, indicating that he had heard of it.

White Jade smiled and said, ”This girl's mouth is giving me a headache. She has been back from the Nine Flower Mountain for two to three months. ”The girl doesn't like needlework and red hair, always using a knife and shooting at people isn't a solution.”

My teacher smiled and said, ”Your daughter has been taught by a different person. She must have outstanding martial arts and is well-known for her skills. That's something to be proud of.”

White Jade Step sighed, shook his head and said, ”That's what worries me the most. Old bro, you must be joking. We are after all the family members who passed down poems and books. Of course, in this day and age, it was not a bad thing for them to get a little blood. However... ”We can't just cripple the civil affairs, right?”

Bai Yu Jie then returned to the main topic, ”Sir, I have heard a lot about your literary skills. If you don't mind, I would like to invite you to come over immediately and visit me. In the future, teach this naughty daughter of yours a good lesson. There are two things that I need you to agree on, sir. ”

Mr. Wu said, ”Old mister, you're being too serious. Even though I've read books for a few days, and they are written in bold characters, it is too far for me to marry you. Not to mention the Anbang plan. First of all, if the old gentleman pleads on the grounds of keeping the family safe, I shall be ashamed to be of no help. ”

Bai Yu Chi sighed and said, ”That's enough.” As for teaching my daughter how to read, don't decline. ”

”This matter has made it even more difficult for me.” My husband said, ”I am indebted to the gentry of the land for his respect and entrusting my children to me. If I accept your invitation, I will come to your house to read with you.” It was inevitable that he would resign from the library there. As a result, dozens of children's studies would be wasted. This one will become the talk of the people. ”

Bai Yu was stunned for a moment, and then a slightly unhappy expression appeared on her face. ”So you're saying that Mr. Wu isn't willing to play the tune?”

Mr Wu stood up and clasped his hands. ”Please forgive me. It's not that I don't want to, it's just that I can't do it. ”

White Jade smiled and said, ”It's just that my little girl said that she would change her mind and study with you. That way …”

Mr Wu smiled slightly and said: ”There are many sages in the house. I am just a common man. Besides, I will be away for a few days or I might have some medicine, so it would be bad if I delayed Miss's lessons.” I hope that old mister can forgive me this time around, and that I won't take any offense into account! ”

White Jade smiled wryly and said, ”People have ambitions, but they can't be forced to do it. Since Mr. Wu had said so. These two things were forgone. May I ask what is your name, mister? ”

”Snowplume.” Mr Wu stood up, bowed and left.

The white jade step read ”Wu Xueyu” in a low voice, and could not help but be a little depressed. Even with his reputation and identity, there were still times when he was unable to accomplish such a thing. This was something he had never thought of.

If he said it was too late, then it was too soon.

After Wu Xueyu's sudden alertness, the meteor hammer was now less than three feet away from his head. He would not even be able to survive if he was hit by this meteor hammer. It was definitely not fun to be carried on that chain even though the chain was more than ten feet long.

Wu Xueyu suddenly became alarmed and quickly took a step forward with his right leg. There was no time for him to do anything, and one of them had already appeared beside him in a flash.

People, people, hands!

With a ”pu” sound, a palm landed on Wu Xueyu's shoulder.
