Starry sky, I can hear their secrets.

Furthermore, it achieved the remarkable feat of slaying three of Bu Liren's Nest Fathers and sinking the Wing-Maker Na Yun ship.

Therefore, he was highly praised in the streets and alleys of Luofu, which made Yanqing stand out and not know how to restrain himself.

However, after this battle, Yanqing realized that there was still much for her to learn.

There are many key factors that determine victory or defeat on the battlefield.

His defeat today stemmed from his mindset; his underestimation of his opponent was the main reason for his loss.

Su Jinyan had clearly revealed a flaw to him on purpose.

But he believed it to be true, and if he had been more cautious, he would not have lost to him.

Su Jinyan smiled gently and comforted her:

"Little brother Yanqing, is something bothering you?"

Yanqing glanced at him, as if to say, "You know the answer already, don't you?"

Su Jinyan: "If you have anything sad to say, feel free to confide in me."

"Look, I just won the game, and I'm very happy now."

Yan Qing: “?”

Please, have some decency.

Yanqing let out a long breath, bowed and said, "Yanqing is willing to accept defeat. Teacher, please accept Yanqing's bow."

Su Jinyan nodded in satisfaction: "Yanqing, to be honest, you actually played quite well."

"However, would you like to know where the difference lies between you and me in that battle just now?"

Yanqing humbly asked, "Teacher, where is it lacking?"

After returning, Yanqing will also review the battle.

However, if Su Jinyan could point out the shortcomings that he couldn't see, that would be the icing on the cake for him.

Su Jinyan said seriously, "They're worlds apart."

Yanqing couldn't hold back any longer. "Look at what you're saying! Is this even human language?"

Su Jinyan: "Just kidding, just kidding. Actually, as long as you keep a steady mindset, you might not be the one who loses in the end."

Yanqing nodded. Jokes aside, he could accept defeat and let it go.

The two of them became friends after a fight.

After this battle, the stiff and unfamiliar relationship has eased considerably.

……

"Uh... Ahhh..."

"How could my young friend Yanqing have lost?"

"My three million, three million..."

Master Gongshu stood frozen in place like a stone statue, letting the bleak, cold wind blow by.

The craftsmen and apprentices of the workshop all had long faces.

Without exception, they all bet on Yanqing to win, and lost everything.

Who would have thought Yanqing would lose?

Everyone thought Su Jinyan was doomed to lose, and that she would lose terribly. Now it seems they had clearly underestimated her.

Tingyun beamed with joy, her fluffy tail wagging back and forth: "This time, I've really struck gold."

Su Jinyan walked briskly to Tingyun's side and asked, "Tingyun, how many credits did you earn this time?"

Tingyun said happily, "I made a small profit of over 30 million."

"Don't worry, my benefactor, you'll also get a share of these credits. We'll split them 50/50."

Su Jinyan smiled slightly: "I'll be third, you'll be seventh."

Tingyun smiled broadly: "My benefactor is truly generous."

"Then I will accept your offer without hesitation. I will transfer the nine million credits to your account immediately."

Su Jinyan explained, "No, no, no, you misunderstood."

"What I mean is, I'll take 30 million, and you take the remaining 70,000."

Tingyun: “?”

Fu Xuan asked, "Tingyun, I bet on Su Jinyan to win. When will the 900 million credits be transferred to my account?"

Tingyun: “?”

Alright, alright, so you two are ganging up on this little lady?

Fu Xuan stopped talking and turned to look at Su Jinyan, who was also looking at her.

Neither of them spoke, both waiting for the other to speak.

Fu Xuan pursed his lips, his expression one of hidden annoyance.

This guy seems even more troublesome than Qingque.

After a long pause, Fu Xuan finally couldn't hold back any longer: "Su Jinyan, you—"

Su Jinyan's expression changed, and she looked down at her phone.

"The auspicious time has arrived. Today is my grandfather's joyous day. Lord Fu Xuan, I shall take my leave now."

Tsk, the reasons for taking leave are exactly the same as Qingque's. She also comes up with such random ideas to fool me.

Fu Xuan decisively grabbed his wrist and said calmly:

"I should have told Tingyun to remind you to go to work at the Taibusi immediately after you wake up."

Tingyun looked completely innocent; she had given her instructions.

But her benefactor wouldn't listen and insisted on bringing her to the Bureau of Works.

Su Jinyan turned the tables and said seriously, "Tingyun, what's wrong with you? Why didn't you tell me about something so important right away?"

Tingyun feigned grievance and said, "Please don't be offended, my benefactor. It just so happens that it happened to be your grandfather's wedding."

"I got so excited that I forgot."

Su Jinyan was puzzled: "Why are you so excited about my grandfather's wedding?"

Tingyun smiled slyly: "Besides, although my benefactor missed the time to go to work at the Imperial Apostles, didn't you still gain something?"

Su Jinyan couldn't help but ask, "What did you gain?"

Tingyun parted her lips slightly: "Think about it, the reason I brought my benefactor to the Bureau of Works was to let him meet your grandfather."

"Although your benefactor did not meet your grandfather, you did meet your grandmother."

Su Jinyan looked bewildered: "Huh? Grandma?"

"Where is Grandma? I can't find her."

Tingyun opened her folding fan, covered her mouth, and chuckled softly: "Oh, my benefactor is too kind. Grandma is right here!"

Su Jinyan: "?"

This was the first time someone had won a verbal exchange against him.

A hearty laugh came from afar, causing Fu Xuan to turn his head to look.

"It's been a long time. Miss Tingyun is still as eloquent as ever."

Yanqing followed closely behind the man like a child who had done something wrong, not daring to say a word.

Tingyun smiled gently: "General, you flatter me."

"No matter how eloquent I am, I can only be bullied in front of my benefactor."

Su Jinyan twitched the corner of his mouth: "Hehe."

You have my weakness in your hands, you wicked fox, you have it all under your thumb, and yet you let me bully you.

Chapter Twenty-One: Fu Taibu's Little Apprentice

The golden-eyed man with his white hair tied in a high ponytail walked over slowly and said with a smile:

"If it weren't for Qingzu's report, I really wouldn't have known that so many people were gathered at the training ground."

Is there anything more embarrassing than being caught by the general while slacking off?

The artisans at the workshop were all somewhat embarrassed.
