Therefore, it is normal for him to accept an apprentice with good qualifications and good looks, cultivate it carefully, and send it to the pavilion master in the future.

"How did you know that?" Di Xiu's eyes fell on the young man's face, and his voice was faint, but the young man's face changed suddenly.

"Back to the Pavilion Master, this matter is the fault of his subordinates." Hall Master Xi bowed his head and took the initiative to take responsibility, "The subordinates have selfish intentions, speculate on the pavilion master's thoughts, and try to cultivate Shao Hang to replace the position of Qin Gongzi, which is really a big rebellion, please ask the pavilion master to take heavy responsibility." ”

Di Xiu didn't speak, and took a sip of tea in silence.

After a moment, he said lightly: "Qin Shang, what do you think?" ”

Qin Shang's back twitched.

What does he think?

Shouldn't this kind of thing be decided by the owner himself?

"The subordinates feel that the master of the Xi hall is inherently wrong to speculate on the master's mind, but it is understandable." Qin Sheng spoke cautiously, quietly looking at the master's expression, "The first master is originally based on his own ability, and the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves. If the subordinates are not as skilled as others, they should give up this position. ”

Of course, this is just a rhetoric on the scene.

The fact is that he had the same idea as Hall Master Xi before.

No wonder Hall Master Xi thinks so, what the Pavilion Master did to him five years ago would never be considered a favor in anyone's eyes.

Didn't read the accusations written in his notebook?

He has a history of sadness, blood and tears all the way, who can understand?

Qin Shang silently slandered in his heart, but he categorically didn't dare to say these grievances, paused for a moment, and said: "The subordinates think that a small punishment and a big admonition are enough, please calm the anger." ”

After all, he is a hall master, and even after he resigns from his position, he still has to accept apprentices for teaching, so it is not good to lose face too much.

Moreover, in the final analysis, this is not a crime that violates principles, whether to punish or not, how to punish is just a matter of the master's words.

"Thirty rods." Di Xiu's tone was indifferent, "You can't make such mistakes again in the future." ”

When Hall Master Xi heard this, he almost couldn't believe it.

Thirty rods?

And then what?

Just gently peeled it off?

He thought ......

A raised heart fell quietly, he lowered his head, and his voice was slightly tight: "Xie Pavilion Lord forgiveness, his subordinates will never dare to commit it again in the future." ”

Di Xiu raised his eyes: "Prepare a quiet courtyard, and this seat will stay here tonight." ”

"Yes."

Hall Master Xi got up and ordered his subordinates to prepare their quarters immediately, then turned his head and bowed slightly towards Qin Shang: "Thank you Gongzi Qin." ”

Qin Sheng shook his head: "I don't dare to take credit, it's the master's tolerance." ”

Hall Master Xi was silent and didn't argue with him, but he knew in his heart that the Pavilion Master had never had much tolerance.

As one of the Nine Hall Masters, he knew very well in his heart how sad Qin Shang's life was by the Pavilion Master's side in those years.

If it weren't for seeing Qin Sheng being punished so badly every time, he wouldn't have the illusion that the pavilion master was disgusted with this person, so he thought that Qin Shang wouldn't last long at the top of the Nine Pavilions - either he escaped by himself, or he would die at the hands of the pavilion master sooner or later.

That's why he had some thoughts.

However, no one thought of it......

He was not unaware of what happened a few months ago, Qin Sheng used a death in exchange for the pavilion master's different eyes on him - he didn't know whether this price was worth it, and he didn't know what Qin Shang's attitude towards the pavilion master was.

He only knew that in the future, there might be no one to replace the position beside the pavilion master - even if the order to re-elect the first master was given by the pavilion master himself, it would not change anything.

Emperor Xiu got up and walked to the backyard with Qin Shang.
