Chapter 88 Four People at One Table (Part )
"Master Jiashan."

Gu Yue Jia Rong put away his strange look and saluted in return: "Galan Temple is very far from Longdong, Master, you must have been very tired all the way."

Wei Canghao disdained the roundabout way of exploration by scholars: "Young Master Chi, Master Jiashan, it's rare to see you leave your territory. What urgent matter have you come to Longdong for this time?"

Chi Jiangdong was still glaring at Xu Shanshan, but when he heard Wei Canghao calling him, he turned around.

He apologized to Wei Canghao in a casual and unrestrained manner.

"I just acted in a hurry. Don't be surprised, Mr. Wei." Then he showed a small expression on his face, and muttered indignantly: "I'm not here to do anything urgent. I'm just here to find Xu Shanshan."

Most of the people present could not hear what he whispered, but Wei Canghao was a martial artist with sharp ears and eyes, so he could hear it clearly.

Facing the two people's inquiries, either oblique or direct, Master Jiashan remained calm and said, "I am also here to see Donor Xu."

After hearing this, the old headmaster and the other students in the academy understood that this "Xu Chu" and the "Xu Shanshan" they were talking about were the same person.

Gu Yuejiarong forced a smile. He glanced in the direction of Xu Shanshan and asked, "Why are you looking for her?"

Could it be about breaking off the engagement?
That shouldn't be the case. They had made it clear at the Quexie Mountain that they wanted to break off the engagement with her. Their attitude was clear, so there was no need to come all the way here to reiterate it...

Wei Canghao's strong eyebrows and eyes swept over Xu Shanshan lightly, his jaw tightened a little, and he looked a little sharp because of his unhappy mood.

When did this woman provoke them?
"She has something very important to me, I must follow her!"

"I promised to ferry benefactor Xu to safety. But now that she has not attained Buddhahood, I still have a long way to go."

The reasons given by both of them sound... a bit too far-fetched.

After hearing this, Wei Canghao found it absurd.

Why did she want to become a Buddha? What kind of extraordinary Tai Sui was she? Would she become a demon if she didn't become a Buddha?
"Xu Shanshan, tell me, do you want to stay in Yingtian Academy and let Mr. Gu Yue continue to teach you, or do you want to practice with Master Jiashan and let him help you become a Buddha, or do you want to travel the world with Young Master Chi?"

"Or, leave with me immediately."

Wei Canghao asked very fairly, not leaving anyone out, but he singled himself out, and it was not a question. This was either to distinguish himself from the others, or to be sure that he was not among those chosen by Xu Shanshan...

He should be her other, unhesitating choice.

Seeing that the criticism was suddenly directed at Xu Shanshan, Xu Shanshan quickly and quietly pulled the hem of Xu Shanshan's sleeve.

"Don't choose..."

She mouthed the words.

This would be a bad choice.

The bad thing about having many men is that once there is an argument, they will be forced to take sides. But once you take someone's side, it is equivalent to offending the other three at the same time. Smart women must know how to weigh the pros and cons.

"Master Wei, why did Xu Shanshan want to leave with you?" Chi Jiangdong's eyes moved between the two of them in a strange way: "When did you two become so familiar with each other? Didn't you..."

I hate her so much that I want to avoid her just by hearing her name, let alone being alone with her.

Gu Yue Jiarong also thought that Wei Canghao's words were a bit overbearing, so he advised kindly: "She is my student. Before she drops out of school, as a teacher, I should bear the cost of her studies. I hope you can stop pushing her too hard."

Jiashan lowered his eyelids and said apologetically: "...Did I disturb you?"

Wei Canghao was a little annoyed. He thought that this trip to pick someone up would go smoothly, but he encountered these people's obstruction, which added trouble. "I have something important to do with her."

Chi Jiangdong held the sword and tilted his head, asking suspiciously, "What's the matter?"

"If it is a matter of life and death, concerning the rise and fall and survival of the Wei family, then naturally your matter, Canghao, is more important." Gu Yue Jiarong said sympathetically.

Jiashan assured: "Don't worry, Patron Wei, I won't get in your way."

He almost said, I'm not here to disrupt your (business), but to join you.

It was the first time that Xu Shanshan met men of such high level. She was worried that Xu Shanshan could not control them, so she winked at Xu Shanshan.

Don't be in a hurry. Wait until the four of them have argued out who is better. Then she can intervene, which will just balance the strength.

But you can't tell. Mr. Gu Yue looks so calm and indifferent, but he can be like a fire starter. Once he opens his mouth, the atmosphere between the two sides always drops to freezing point.

Wei Canghao's eardrums hurt from listening to their chatter. He called out to Xu Shanshan directly, "Xu Shanshan, the matter of your Xu family has been resolved. I have already made an appointment with the county magistrate to discuss it in private. It seems that the time is almost up. If you don't leave now, there will be no next time."

"The Xu family's matter?" Gu Yuejiarong's mind worked very quickly. He suddenly realized that none of the three of them might have a chance of winning this dispute, so he changed the topic.

"Cang Hao, don't make it difficult for her. Business is more important. The interruption of her studies is only temporary. I will find time to catch up with her later."

"What is it that requires a detailed discussion with the county magistrate? In that case, I will go with you." Chi Jiangdong was destined to be a dog-skin plaster anyway.

Jiashan found a very appropriate excuse: "Last year, the grandmother of the Wei family came to the Galan Temple to pray for blessings, but she has not come to fulfill her wish this year. Since I am here, could you please help lead the way and visit her?"

Wei Canghao: “…” He only wanted to take Xu Shanshan away, but never thought of taking her “men” back with her.

Before, he believed in his heart that he would not marry Xu Shanshan, let alone share a wife with other men, so he never thought that if he really married her, he would not only face the struggle between men, but also have to accept the existence of other men for her.

Just thinking about it made him feel suffocated. A man's dignity and possessiveness were hard for Wei Canghao to accept.

As expected, I have to resolutely cancel this marriage!
"Wei Canghao, let's go."

As soon as Xu Shanshan opened his mouth, the expressions of the other three people froze at the same time.

Xu Shanshan also looked at her in surprise.

Does she really not understand the way of balance?

After hearing her answer, Wei Canghao's ugly expression finally improved a lot. She was willing to reject other men for him. Just as he had guessed before, she really had bad intentions towards him.

"Xu Shanshan, Master Jiashan and I came all the way to find you, but you didn't say a word to us and just turned around and ran away with another man?!" Chi Jiangdong was really angry now.

If he was really angry, would he say such irresponsible things?
After seeing Xu Shanshan decisively choose Wei Canghao, Gu Yuejiarong remained silent.

Xu Shanshan said to Chi Jiangdong: "I saved you before, so you can consider that thing as a reward for my kindness. Lend it to me for a while, and I will return it intact afterward."

After saying that, she looked at Jiashan again: "Master Jiashan, I gave you a month to save me, but you can't ask me to spend my whole life to fight you for something you can't do, right?"

Finally, she said to Gu Yue Jiarong: "Sir, I will drop out of school today. Please choose another registered student."

As soon as she opened her mouth, she seemed to be ruthless in her attitude of severing ties with them. Facing her like this, they felt both unfamiliar and heartbroken.

Thinking of the various scenes of their time together before, her eyes and words now all showed that they were nothing but "yesterday's flowers" to her, and only Wei Canghao was her "moon in her heart" today.
