Are all the love-brained villains my apprentices?

"Yes."

Although he didn't know why Elder Gan had to repeat himself, Sheng Shuzhou still answered obediently.

"okay, I get it."

The tip of the brush in Elder Gan's hand fell on the paper again and wrote Sheng Shuzhou's name.

After finishing writing, Elder Gan stood up and said to Sheng Shuzhou as he passed by him who was standing there in a daze.

"Come with me."

A look of joy appeared on Sheng Shuzhou's face. He turned around, waved goodbye to Zhu Ping'an, and followed Elder Gan closely.

Elder Gan brought Sheng Shuzhou to a medicine garden in the medicine gate.

When Elder Gan and Sheng Shuzhou arrived, there was already a young man sitting on a low stool next to the medicine shop, pulling weeds on the ground out of boredom, looking like he was waiting for someone.

Hearing the approaching footsteps of Elder Gan, the young man looked up in surprise, revealing a face that Sheng Shuzhou found familiar.

When the young man's eyes fell on Sheng Shuzhou, he was obviously stunned for a moment, but he quickly withdrew his gaze awkwardly, stood up and saluted Elder Gan.

After the salute, when the boy looked up and saw Sheng Shuzhou's slightly unfamiliar gaze, he showed some anger.

Elder Gan sensed something was wrong with the young man in front of him, but he didn't say much. He just briefly explained to the two of them what needed to be done.

The work in the medicine garden is not that difficult, it is just a bit troublesome.

The medicinal materials here all need to be cultivated with a special medicinal liquid mixed with spiritual energy, so what Sheng Shuzhou and the young man need to do is to mix their own spiritual power with the medicinal liquid that has been prepared in the medicine garden.

Then carefully sprinkle the mixed medicine liquid on each medicinal material.

This task is not difficult, but it is rather complicated and requires people, so I sent out the task and asked some disciples to come.

“This medicinal garden will be in the charge of the two of you.

Did you understand what I just said?"

Elder Gan asked after he told the two what needed to be done.

After seeing Sheng Shuzhou and the young man nod, Elder Gan nodded with satisfaction.

“Then I’ll leave this to the two of you.

After two hours, a disciple will come to check the results.

The remuneration will also be paid at that time.”

After explaining all this, Elder Gan left, leaving Sheng Shuzhou and the young man alone looking at each other in bewilderment.

"that……"

As soon as Sheng Shuzhou opened his mouth, the young man pretended not to hear him. He immediately turned around, picked up the wooden barrel containing the medicine and left, ignoring Sheng Shuzhou.

Anyone with a bit of insight would probably be able to tell at this moment that the young man disliked him.

Unfortunately, Sheng Shuzhou is a very persistent child.

Seeing that the young man pretended not to hear what he said, Sheng Shuzhou also picked up his wooden barrel, said nothing, and just followed the young man closely.

He does whatever the boy does.

The young man mixed the medicine and prepared to water the plants. Sheng Shuzhou also picked up the medicine he had mixed and followed him.

The young man watered one row of herbs, and Sheng Shuzhou watered the adjacent row.

Finally, the young man couldn't bear it anymore and put down the wooden spoon that scooped the medicine heavily, and finally looked Sheng Shuzhou in the eye.

"What on earth are you going to do?"

Seeing that the young man finally paid attention to him, Sheng Shuzhou put down the wooden spoon in his hand.

"You finally pay attention to me!

Um, I just wanted to ask, have we met somewhere before?"

When the young man heard this, an angry look appeared on his face again.

He replied unhappily, "Yes, I have."

After saying that, he turned around and prepared to leave from the other side.

But Sheng Shuzhou came around in front of him again.

"What are you doing again?!"

"Then can you tell me your name?"

The young man saw Sheng Shuzhou's attitude and thought that if he didn't say anything, he would pester him all day long.

"Ji Pei."

Ji Pei said his name, and Sheng Shuzhou finally remembered where he had seen this familiar brother.

"So he's my brother's friend!" Sheng Shuzhou showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.

They did meet once in front of the service hall.

When Ji Pei heard Sheng Shuzhou say the words "senior brother's friend", a look of disappointment appeared on his face.

He has been busy earning spirit stones and advanced elixirs these days, and his friendship with Yayin has become less close.

Ji Pei now doesn’t know that the biggest reason for the estrangement between him and Yayin was because of the malice he showed in front of the Renshi Hall last time, which caused Yayin to gradually distance herself from him.

But despite the disappointment, Ji Pei still mocked Sheng Shuzhou with a hint of sarcasm: "Humph, you are really a noble man who forgets things easily."

In fact, even Ji Pei himself couldn't explain where his malice towards Sheng Shuzhou came from, as Sheng Shuzhou had clearly not done anything against the law or done anything to let him down.

But the guilt in his heart did not last long, and disappeared completely when Ji Pei's gaze fell on Sheng Shuzhou, who was stunned by his words.

He even hoped to see Sheng Shuzhou's next reaction in a somewhat malicious way.

But he never expected that after hearing his malicious words, Sheng Shuzhou was stunned for a moment, and then an embarrassed smile appeared on his face.

"Hey, my memory is really not that good..."

"……what?"

It is not well known that Sheng Shuzhou was an illiterate child.

Even under Yayin's careful teaching, after learning to read for several months, Sheng Shuzhou knew many more words, but he still did not understand the implied praise or criticism of idioms.

So when faced with Ji Pei's words, Sheng Shuzhou automatically translated them literally.

Noble man, he is very expensive.

He often forgets things.

So this is a way of praising him while reminding him that he often forgets things!

Sheng Shuzhou, who thought he understood Ji Pei's meaning, thought so.
