They're all here to repay

Chapter 56
Back home on a sunny afternoon.

Bai Suzhen was tending her flowers and plants in the corner of the yard.

Su Zhi stood behind and watched for a while, took a deep breath and walked over. After talking with Wu Che during lunch, he felt that he had to say something, but he just opened his mouth and suddenly didn't know what to say.

Bai Suzhen seemed to concentrate on taking care of her flowers and plants, watering here, pruning branches there, never leaving the flowerbed, but in fact, she knew that Su Zhi was approaching her, and she seemed to have something else to say to her, waited a while Finding that Su Zhi hadn't spoken, he took the initiative to ask, "Is there anything Xiao Su wants from me?"

"It's nothing." Su Zhi replied subconsciously.

Su Zhi paused, and said, "I was just wondering if I'd be bothering you if I've been living here."

"Huh?" Bai Suzhen put down the shower and turned her head.

"That's right, think about it..." Su Zhi said, "You are girls, and I am a man...how should I say, as long as I live here, you can't be so casual...you have to wear good clothes at all times, You can’t sometimes just wear a piece of clothing for convenience, or run around without anything.”

"I will never do that kind of thing." Bai Suzhen said seriously.

"I'm just giving you an example." Su Zhi said, "Even if this one doesn't exist, what about the others?"

"Xiao Su, tell me what else is there."

Su Zhi thought for a long time, and said, "For example, drying underwear... Aren't you afraid that I will be shy when I see underwear?"

"Why are you shy? What's the big deal?" Bai Suzhen said naturally.

Su Zhi opened his mouth and closed it again. He remembered that when he was studying, he could see those girls drying their underwear in the corridor of the dormitory. When he just graduated, he lived in a village in the city and often saw the tenants drying their underwear outside the window.

"Will Xiao Su feel shy when she sees a girl's underwear?" Bai Suzhen asked, "If it is still the case, I will remind Xiao Qing to put them all away."

"I don't care, I'm worried about you."

"As long as Xiao Su doesn't secretly do weird things with our underwear, I'm not afraid."

"No." Su Zhi said firmly, "absolutely not."

"That's fine." Bai Suzhen said.

"Does Xiao Su feel uncomfortable living with us?" Bai Suzhen asked, "I think there are many rooms here, and they are vacant. If you move out to find a house, you need to pay rent every month, and you need to pay for the Internet. The conditions may not be so good...Anyway, Xiao Su is not an outsider, and it is more lively when everyone lives together."

"It's an outsider." Su Zhi said.

"So Xiao Su has always regarded us as outsiders?" Bai Suzhen was stunned, "I thought we were masters and apprentices, not outsiders."

"No, no, no, I've never regarded Sister Bai as an outsider." Su Zhi said quickly, "Otherwise, it's like this...you don't mind, I certainly don't mind. If you feel inconvenient, you must tell me, and I will Move out immediately."

"Okay." Bai Suzhen replied.

"Besides that, I was thinking," Su Zhi said again, "You are the one who prepares the food every day, and it costs a lot of money to buy so many things every day..."

"It won't cost much." Bai Suzhen knew what Su Zhi wanted to say as soon as she heard it, and she interrupted him, "Don't look at us who have been studying and have no formal work. Just completing a commission will use up a lot of money."

Su Zhi was stunned for a moment, thinking that Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing were powerful, and this little food money really meant nothing to them.

Bai Suzhen didn't give it up if she didn't want it, but she couldn't say nothing. He made up his mind to buy more fruits and snacks to go home as a repayment for rent and food. Then he thought that they didn't ask for anything in return to teach him how to practice, and insisted on calculating clearly. Chu said that he owed them a lot, and being too fussy would make him seem hypocritical.

It seems to be very hypocritical now.Thinking of this, Su Zhi laughed.

It is true that I owe them a lot now, and it will be fine to pay them all back in the future.

"I see." Su Zhi said.

"It's good to know." Bai Suzhen smiled, "Xiao Su doesn't need to be embarrassed. This is to repay her kindness."

"Even if it is to repay the favor, it feels so heavy."

"Just get used to it." Bai Suzhen asked, "Is there anything else?"

"One last thing." Su Zhi pondered for a moment.

"Tell me." Bai Suzhen waited quietly.

"About what you said yesterday, you said that I am like a primary school student on the road of cultivation, right now my main task is to study." Su Zhi stared at the flowers and plants, "What I said is that the task of primary school students is not limited to study. To become a useful person to society in the future, one should develop morality, intelligence, physique, art and labor in an all-round way."

"If the primary school student's task is only to study, it will be even worse for his future development. In the end, he may become a nerd who doesn't know anything and lacks the ability to take care of himself and common sense of life... Sister Bai can take care of me for a while, and she can also take care of me forever?"

"Yes, yes...if Xiao Su needs it." Bai Suzhen said hesitantly.

Su Zhi felt a little out of breath, and he said, "I know that Sister Bai has good intentions, but you will only raise and useless people like this."

"I think a student..." Su Zhi paused, "Study is of course the most important thing, but you should also pay attention to other aspects of development after studying. In your spare time, you can help with housework and participate in social activities. , go out to exercise more, develop one or two hobbies, and make a few friends."

Su Zhi looked into Bai Suzhen's eyes and said, "What do you think?"

Bai Suzhen smiled and said, "I never allowed Xiao Su to do those things, I just reminded Xiao Su that she can rely on us a lot."

Su Zhi nodded.

"Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles; traveling thousands of miles is not as good as reading countless people; reading countless people is not as good as being guided by a famous teacher, and it is not as good as being guided by a famous teacher to enlighten yourself."

Bai Suzhen was silent for a moment and continued: "I have a plan for Xiao Su, Qingxiu is not the best path of cultivation, Xiaosu may not be able to bear the loneliness of Qingxiu... Just like Xiaosu obtained the relic of the traveler Xu Xian through going out, Xiao Su's opportunity is not in this clean cultivation."

"Even if this is the case, Xiao Su is currently in the late stage of Qi training, and he still doesn't have the combat power to match her... When Xiao Su gets stronger, I will let Xiao Su go out like those sects arrange disciples to go out for training." Bai Suzhen said patiently , "Don't worry."

"I'm not in a hurry...just talking." Su Zhi said, "I know that my main task now is to learn supernatural powers and spells, improve actual combat experience, and have the strength to match my realm."

After communicating with Bai Suzhen, Su Zhi is full of hope for the future.

That was it for today, and then the weekend was over, and Su Zhi started to learn magic powers every day.

Then one day, Su Zhi received a call from Wu Che—they exchanged contact information at the dinner table——Wu Che asked him if he had ever played in the Fighter Club's grading match. He had a colleague who was in a similar situation to him. The strengths are evenly matched, they may be able to get to know each other, and occasionally learn from each other to improve.
