Chapter 342: Man Chasing Woman Across the House and Car
"Prajnaparamita!"

"what!"

"Thank you for your help, and please accept the silver."

"No, I don't travel the world to exterminate demons for money, so don't use that thing to humiliate me."

Tan Wenjie felt like complaining when he saw Passerby A pushing silver to him and Yan Chixia staring at the money but pretending not to want it.

Obviously, he really wants to be severely humiliated by the other party with money.

Damn arrogant.

When they were walking back, they accidentally encountered a demon on the roadside who was trying to harm people. Yan Chixia, who couldn't bear it, took action to subdue the demon, and the other party took the initiative to pay money to thank him.

Because he didn't know much about the market price of exorcising demons, he took out twenty taels.

"You are so kindhearted, sir." The merchant took the money obediently and said, "We will build a longevity tablet for you when we return."

Fortunately, Yan Chixia's beard was as thick as a mask and his face was dark, otherwise he would have performed a face-changing show on the spot.

After the family left with many thanks, Tan Wenjie walked up to Yan Chixia and said quietly, "Twenty taels."

"Humph, I'm not interested in money!"

"Twenty-two-liang~ah~"

"You kid! Why are you following me?"

The bearded man got anxious!

"There is only one way. You go your way and I go mine. Hey, hey, Brother Yan, come on. I'll treat you to roast chicken."

The bearded man may seem thick-skinned, but underneath the lush hair is a thin skin that is so delicate that it can be blown away by a baby.

"I wanted to ask you before, why do you always carry a book box?"

"I'm a scholar. Isn't it normal to carry a book and a scroll of paintings? It's not right to hold a hunting bow."

He gets angry with anyone who says he looks like a hunter.

When I entered Guobei County, I happened to arrive at the bookstall I had visited before.

"Hey, you're here?" The bookstall owner greeted Tan Wenjie when he saw him.

"I'm here to sell books, hand-copied."

"Oh." The boss's enthusiasm suddenly disappeared and he sat down indifferently.

He flipped through the book sent by Tan Wenjie, poking around with his index finger.

"This one has ugly handwriting, I won't take it. This one has okay handwriting but has dents, like a second-hand book. I can only pay half the price."

Tan Wenjie understood that the copied book was fake and the guy was selling pens, ink, paper and inkstone!

I weighed the copper coins in my hand and finally only recovered the costs.

"You didn't cause any trouble to that person?"

This is not right. Based on his limited understanding of Tan Wenjie, he is definitely not someone who would suffer a loss.

“It’s not like I copied it.”

He was just an intermediary contractor, and the one doing the hard work was the banshee Xiaoxue.

As for the bookstall owner, one could only hope that he had gone on a long journey at noon, because Xiaoxue was full of resentment from copying books, and she would not kill people casually and would certainly not let him go, so something would happen sooner or later.

Before they parted, he heard Xiaoxue mumbling a lot, saying that she wanted to arrest the owner of the bookstall and force him to copy books, and only give him half a steamed bun a day. She was staring at Tan Wenjie while saying these words, so Tan Wenjie knew it very well.

After leaving Guobei County, we walked along the rugged path and did not arrive at an abandoned house until dusk.

"No door residence?"

Tan Wenjie looked up at the door plaque.

It is called Wumenju, and actually there is really no door. It is overgrown with weeds and covered with spider webs.

"You don't clean up when you live here?"

"It will be clear after the next rain." Yan Chixia said nonchalantly.

Tan Wenjie gave a thumbs up and expressed his admiration.

Rain can clean up and purify the body. Yan Chixia should not be a swordsman, he should help others pray for rain.

The environment is not even as good as that of Lanruo Temple. The technicians will also clean up in order to provide customers with a good experience. The ancient temple is dilapidated but not dirty.

"Master, are you back?"

Hearing the sound, a door opened and a young man about the same age as Tan Wenjie walked out.

"Hmm." Yan Chixia squeezed her nose and said, "Have you practiced well?"

"Of course!"

"This is my apprentice Shi'er." Yan Chixia introduced him casually, "Shi'er, take him to find a room to stay."

"Oh."

Shier looked at Tan Wenjie and was about to ask when he remembered that he didn't know how to address the other person.

Tan Wenjie: "I call your master Brother Yan, so you can just call me Uncle Master."

His fate is to be a master's uncle to others.

Yan Chixia, who had not left yet, opened his mouth but did not say much. He just said that with Tan Wenjie's strength, he could indeed be on equal terms with him. He, Yan Chixia, was not a mediocre person who only used his age to bully others.

"Uncle Master?"

"Nephew."

As expected, there can only be one tsundere in a family. If someone can tolerate Yan Chixia, she must have a very gentle personality.

"Uncle, let me help you with your luggage." Shi'er looked at Tan Wenjie's luggage.

The books were sold, the bookcase was disposed of second-hand, and only a painting was left.

"This painting." Noticing Shi'er's curious gaze, Tan Wenjie took the initiative to open the painting and said, "An old friend."

The person in the painting is Nie Xiaoqian.

"Old friend?" Shi'er looked at the woman in the portrait in confusion.

But Yan Chixia beside him suddenly laughed and said, "That's his wife!"

He had often seen the three women taking advantage of Tan Wenjie, and it was unclear who was taking advantage of whom. They could be called mistress, wife, or anything else. If Tan Wenjie had gritted his teeth to stop them, Xiaoqian might have stayed with him.

It’s a pity that this kid is too determined to seek the truth.

"Damn!" Tan Wenjie raised his middle finger.

Although there was indeed some intimate contact, it was Nie Xiaoqian who bit him first, and it was definitely the other person's butt that touched his hand actively.

He's a good boy, he just doesn't know how to say no.

Shier didn’t know what the two were talking about, he just felt that they were a little "unfathomable". He was just a boy who simply longed for love. He would blush for a long time when he looked at a woman’s face, and he didn’t understand.

"She has been reincarnated." Tan Wenjie casually changed the subject, "Nephew, is there a market nearby? I want to go buy something."

"Yes, I'll lead the way!" Shi'er didn't know what he was thinking about, and suddenly he laughed foolishly with joy.

This place is quite a distance away from Lanruo Temple, but there is a village a few miles away with a market inside, which is closing up around dusk.

Tan Wenjie needed to buy some food and drinks. If he wanted to get the cultivation method from Yan Chixia, he would definitely have to invest money. The bearded man had high demands on food and drink. He was happy as long as he had wine and meat, but he was also too arrogant and would not help others for free, but would force others to pay.

No wonder Yan Chixia wants to quit the underworld. With his personality, he will always suffer losses and be plotted against in places where he likes to build interpersonal relationships, whether in the officialdom or the underworld, and his life will be tiring.

"I'm short of money. I'm going to find some bandits to rob me tonight. It seems that the official is quite rich." Tan Wenjie had no psychological pressure when he started the robbery.

Robbing the rich to help the poor, robbing the wealth of the wicked and helping one's own poverty, it is not that he is greedy for money, but he just wants to maximize the efficiency of doing things. It is true that he has no money in his pocket, so it is better to help himself and get it done in one step.

As soon as Shier arrived at the market, other people immediately fled in panic.

"What's going on?" Tan Wenjie didn't understand.

"Master is ugly. When I was away from home, Master asked me to practice silent meditation, and we often caught monsters and killed ghosts at night."

"Then you deserve it." Tan Wenjie nodded.

A typical social weirdo, Shi'er's appearance is also modeled after Yan Chixia, walking around with an axe every day, for fear of being mistaken for a good person.

Shier: “…” He thought his uncle would comfort him.

I bought a plate of braised beef and poured two jugs of wine. When I turned around, I found Shi'er stealthily looking at someone like a thief.

He followed Shi'er's gaze and saw a small stall.

A pretty girl was selling purses, embroidered shoes, insoles and other handmade items.

There was also a little girl next to her who had lost her front teeth.

Tan Wenjie nudged Shier's arm with his elbow and asked, "Are you interested in her?"

"No! No!" Shier shook his head frantically, his cheeks flushed.

"understood."

"Really not!"

It just so happened that the girl at the stall also looked over here. The young man and woman's eyes met. Shi'er was the first to give in, while the other party's cheeks turned slightly red but she did not avoid him.

"There aren't many girls who are so straightforward and bold. Don't miss them."

"Uncle Master, I really don't have any!"

Tan Wenjie didn't say anything more.

He is very familiar with this business. Back then, he relied on Shi Shaojian to control Shi Jian. Now, it is no problem for him to conquer Yan Chixia through Shi'er.

After returning to Wumenju, Shier took the initiative to help Tan Wenjie clean the room and even found a clean quilt.

The room was a little empty, so Tan Wenjie casually hung Xiaoqian's portrait on the wall. He had already bought it, so he just treated it as a landscape painting, and the beautiful woman was pleasing to the eyes.

When the oil lamp is lit, it looks pretty good at first glance.

At dinner in the evening, Yan Chixia was drinking with gulps, Shi'er was eating meat with slurps, and Tan Wenjie was looking left and right.

He wanted to discuss cultivation with Yan Chixia, but just as he opened his mouth to say a few words, half a plate of food was gone. Just as he picked up some food, Yan Chixia had already started drinking the second pot of wine.

"Big beard, leave some for me!"

After eating and drinking, he rubbed his slightly empty stomach and went out in the night.

The next day, Shier got up, stretched, and went to the yard to practice martial arts when he found a lot of things placed under the eaves.

"Uncle Master, what is this?"

"Go find someone to order doors and windows today, make a new set of furniture, and then find someone to tidy up the yard. By the way, do you have a land deed?" He just remembered this after he gave the order.

"No." Shier shook his head.

They picked up the abandoned house and lived in it.

"That needs to be cleaned up too, so we'll just have to make do with it for now."

"Oh."

Shi'er didn't understand what Tan Wenjie was going to do, but he was very obedient. It might be because Tan Wenjie discovered the secret in his heart yesterday, and he subconsciously felt inferior.

After a while, Yan Chixia finally got up.

His injuries have not yet healed.

"What about people?"

Both the master and the disciple were there, and the person they were asking about was naturally Tan Wenjie, who had suddenly moved into Wumenju but without being at all out of place.

"Uncle Master just went out." Shi'er was sweeping the floor.

Yan Chixia glanced at the things under the eaves, as if he understood something. Finally, he sighed and said nothing, but he did not agree with Tan Wenjie's approach from the bottom of his heart. He was going to have a good fight with Tan Wenjie after he came back. He, Yan Chixia, would not accept charity, and neither could his apprentice.

It was not until noon that Tan Wenjie came back, and he was followed by a smiling woman.

"Did you see it?" Tan Wenjie pointed at Shi'er who was sweeping the floor.

"Your son is really handsome and hardworking."

Shi'er, who was covered in dust and looked even more miserable than a beggar because of cleaning the spider webs, was puzzled.

Some people actually praise themselves.

Shier looked at the two of them with a dull look that was full of wisdom.

"Look at these eyes, they are so bright."

"Hehe." Smirk.

"Laugh often and your life will be prosperous."

"I..." Shier stuttered.

Yan Chixia is a typical example of a persuasive education. From childhood to adulthood, Shier was only scolded and rarely praised. Yet, like today, no matter what he does, people still praise him.

"And still speak."

"That's enough!" Tan Wenjie quickly stopped him.

If he continued to praise him, he was afraid that the other party would also praise Shi'er for being able to breathe, having hair, and having two eyes, neither too many nor too few.

"Okay, you've seen the person." Tan Wenjie walked under the eaves and took out two large bags of snacks and handed them to the woman. He also took out two silver ingots from his pocket and put one of them in the woman's hand. "You did a great job, and I'll reward you."

Money can make anything possible. Tan Wenjie may not be very good at other things, but he is very good at using money to attack people.

"Tell me who your son wants to marry. As long as it's not a princess, I will definitely make it happen."

"Shi'er, what was the name of the girl I saw selling purses yesterday?"

Shier also understood what Tan Wenjie meant at this time. His cheeks flushed and he stammered, "Call, call Xiaowei."

"That's the one selling purses at the market." Tan Wenjie gestured, "She's so tall, very pretty, and has a younger sister whose front teeth are just coming out. Her family must not be wealthy."

"I know!" the woman nodded repeatedly.

"If her family is willing to marry her, it would be fine to marry her in a formal ceremony. If not..."

"Not willing? Of course I am! I have been a matchmaker for most of my life, and there is no marriage that I cannot arrange."

The matchmaker happily left with the snacks in her arms, looking back every few steps and repeatedly assuring everyone that everything would be fine.

"Bang!" The door suddenly opened, and Yan Chixia walked out with a very dark face.

"If he wants to marry a wife, he should work hard to earn money himself and not take other people's money. He is not even grown up yet. Even if he marries a wife, can he support her?"

If he doesn't take mine, how can I take yours?

Tan Wenjie was disdainful, what a tsundere. If you really didn't want to, why didn't you just come out and chase the matchmaker away when she came? Instead, you waited until everything was settled before coming out to nag her. You even deliberately waited until the matchmaker left before you spoke, for fear that she would hear you.

Shier: “…”

He doesn't love money, but he has someone he loves.

Tan Wenjie: "As the saying goes, if a girl chases a boy, it's easy, but if a boy chases a girl, it's easy."

"?"X2
The topic suddenly became very realistic.

Tan Wenjie didn't give Yan Chixia face: "Nephew, don't listen to the bearded man. He is so ugly that he can't get a wife even if he has money. But you are different. You have to make money from now on. Have you ever thought that the girl you like may not be able to wait. By the time you are rich, her children can already help you."

"I..." Shier gritted his teeth.

He found that Tan Wenjie and Yan Chixia had been looking at him without saying a word, as if waiting for him to express his opinion.

Should I choose to listen to the master at this time, or choose to follow my own ideas and disobey the master's decision for the first time.

"Master, after I marry Xiaowei, I will definitely be filial to you." Shi'er turned around and knelt down and kowtowed to Yan Chixia.

"Hmph! Do whatever you want!" Yan Chixia left arrogantly.

"Uncle master, Master..." Shi'er felt uneasy after getting up. It was the first time that he opposed his Master.

"Him? He's hiding in the room, laughing."

"what?"

Shier didn't understand.

"Go buy some new clothes and get ready to wait for news from the matchmaker. There should be news in the next few days," said Tan Wenjie.

"Oh, I'll go right away!"
