Jia Xu didn't know how long he had been away, but finally came to a temple.

The temple is hidden among the green trees, and the traces of time leave a monumental mark on its walls.

Jia Xu gently pushed open the temple door, and the door shaft made a low sound.

When I entered the temple, I saw an old monk sitting on the futon in front of the Buddhist temple, and several young monks were cleaning around quietly.

Jia Xu walked forward and said softly: "Master, I'm lost. I wonder if I can stay here for a night?"

There was a hint of fatigue and pleading in his voice.

The old monk slowly opened his eyes, looked at Jia Xu, nodded slightly, and said, "If the donor needs it, let's rest here."

Jia Xu was delighted and hurriedly thanked: "Thank you for taking it in by Master."

At this time, the sun shone in through the temple windows, illuminating the Buddha statues in the Buddhist temple and adding a sacred atmosphere to the entire temple.

The little monks also stopped their movements and looked at Jia Xu curiously.

The old monk looked at Jia Xu and asked gently: "Where is the donor coming from? Where are you going?"

Jia Xu sighed and said, "I am wandering all the way, and I want to find a place to stay, but I don't want to lose my direction."

The old monk smiled slightly.

In this quiet temple, Jia Xu's heart gradually calmed down.

A few days later, Xu Dong's health finally recovered. Zhao Yun, Wenxuan, and Dongfang Hong were about to take Xu Dong to continue moving forward.

Xu Dong packed his bags and said to his grandfather excitedly: "Grandpa, I'm ready, we can set off."

However, Xu Dong's grandfather looked unhappy, his eyes gradually became wet, and tears rolled in his eyes.

Seeing this, Xu Dong asked in confusion: "Grandpa, what's wrong with you? You should be happy. I'll follow the Prime Minister. What a good thing this is. You agreed before!"

Grandpa trembled and said, "Dong'er, of course, Grandpa hopes you have a good future, but when he thinks of you leaving Grandpa, Grandpa feels uncomfortable."

Xu Dong held grandpa's hand and comforted him: "Grandpa, don't be sad, I will come back to see you often. And with the Prime Minister, I can learn a lot and I can better repay you and my relatives in my hometown in the future!"

Grandpa wiped his tears and said, "Grandpa knows that the Prime Minister is a good person, and you will have a future with him. But Grandpa just can't bear to leave you, for fear that you will suffer outside."

Xu Dong smiled and said, "Grandpa, don't worry, I have grown up and will take good care of myself. And I believe that under the leadership of the Prime Minister, I will definitely be able to do a great career!"

Grandpa looked at Xu Dong's firm eyes, feeling both relieved and reluctant.

He knew that the child had grown up and had his own ideals and pursuits. He could only silently bless Xu Dong, hoping that everything would go smoothly.

In the room specially prepared for Xu Mingtian in the backyard of the county government office, he sat at the desk intently. After several days of hard work, he finally completed a novel.

Xu Mingtian carefully picked up the novel he wrote, with a look of expectation on his face. He thought to himself: "I hope the Prime Minister will like this story."

He came to Xi Yu's mansion and showed it to Xi Yu.

"Prime Minister, I have written a story and want to show it to you."

Xi Yu raised his head, looked at Xu Mingtian, and said with a smile: "Come in, let me see your achievements."

Xu Mingtian walked into the office and handed the novel to Xi Yu, with a little nervousness and expectation in his eyes.

Xi Yu took over the novel and started reading it carefully.

After a while, Xi Yu raised his head, looked at Xu Mingtian, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "It's well written, tomorrow. The plot is very attractive and the characters are portrayed vividly."

After hearing this, Xu Mingtian felt a sense of joy and said, "Really? That's great!"

Xi Yu thought about it and said, "But let's talk about the next issue of the newspaper, this issue is probably already arranged."

Xu Mingtian showed a look of disappointment on his face. He felt a little disappointed, but he still said, "Okay, then I'll wait a little longer."

"Don't be discouraged, your story will be published in the newspaper, it's just a matter of time. If you keep working hard, I believe you will write better works."

Jia Xu has lived in the temple for many days.

On that day, the old monk sat with a few young monks.

A young monk said, "Abbot, what's going on? Why does that person live here every day? If we don't drive him away, why won't he raise it?"

Generally, there is a rule in their temples that it will take only two days to keep people.

How could anyone be so silly?

The old monk said, "Don't worry, I'll ask later."

After a while, the old monk asked someone to call Jia Xu.

Jia Xu came in, and his face was extremely embarrassed.

Of course he understood what the old monk was talking about.

"Master, what's your business?"

Jia Xu pretended not to know.

"You have been here for several days, shouldn't you leave?"

Jia Xu sighed.

"Master, I want to stay, okay?"

Jia Xu had thought about it, but if it really didn't work, he would become a monk.

Although there are many concerns, perhaps only in this way can one avoid being asked about one's sins.

The old monk felt surprised.

"How did you have this idea?"

Jia Xu didn't know what to say.

I can't say that I have such an idea because I am afraid of being guilty, right?

"You must have something to do, otherwise you wouldn't have thought like that, right?"

Jia Xu sighed again.

"I hope you tell the truth."

Jia Xu had no choice but to tell the relevant situation.

At the same time, Jia Xu knelt down.

It looks very painful.

The old monk sighed.

"So you are a person of extraordinary status."

Jia Xu didn't say anything.

"I can't keep you, you must surrender yourself outside."

Jia Xu had a disappointed expression on his face.

"Okay, since that's the case, I'll say goodbye. Thank you for your care these days."

Jia Xu had no choice but to ride a horse and leave.

When a few young monks saw him, they smiled faintly.

Jia Xu continued to move forward.

Zhao Yun and the other two brought Xu Dong to Youzhou.

As soon as he entered the Prime Minister's Mansion, Xu Dong felt a little nervous. He secretly cheered himself up and wanted to show off in front of Xi Yu.

"Prime Minister, Zhao Yun is back." A servant reported.

Xi Yu said: "Hurry and ask."

After a while, Zhao Yun and the other four arrived.

Xu Dong was introduced.

"You report to the Prime Minister, this is the little prodigy Xu Dong."

Xi Yu sat in the hall, looked at Xu Dong with bright eyes, and asked gently: "Xu Dong, I heard that you are quite knowledgeable, how many are there?"

Xu Dong was so happy that he replied with a smile: "Prime Minister, why not take the test for me so that I can have the opportunity to show what I have learned."

Xi Yu nodded slightly, and felt a little fond of Xu Dong's calmness.

Xi Yu thought for a moment, then asked, "Then tell me, what do you think about the current situation?"

Xu Dong paused, sorted out his thoughts, and then answered seriously: "The situation is unpredictable now,..."

His voice was firm and confident, and he explained his views one by one.

During Xu Dong's answer, Xi Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and listened carefully, secretly admiring Xu Dong's unique insights in his heart.

Zhao Yun and the other two watched nervously from the side, and they were also worried about Xu Dong, hoping that he would be recognized by Xi Yu.

Before he knew it, time passed for a long time, and Xu Dong's answer made Xi Yu very satisfied.

Xi Yu stood up, patted Xu Dong on the shoulder, and said, "Yes, Xu Dong, you do have real talents and knowledge."
