Transmigrated into a Grandpa, Embracing the Laid-Back Life

Chapter 137: This thing is much harder than the imperial examination.

Su Ming walked out of the meditation room, the glaring sunlight making him squint slightly.

Wang the fat man was standing outside the door, and the moment he saw Su Ming emerge, he immediately stepped forward with a face full of smiles.

His small eyes were sparkling with nothing but appreciation and warmth.

"Su Ming, what did Elder Ma tell you? Did he have some important task to entrust to you again?"

Su Ming shook his head, tucking the jade slip further into his sleeve.

"Nothing much. The elder just offered a few words of encouragement."

He didn't want to reveal this matter too early.

"Oh, oh, but that is still an immense honor!" Wang the fat man rubbed his hands together, wearing an expression that said 'I understand'. "Su Ming, from now on, the Accounting Office will rely entirely on you! If you need anything, just say the word!"

Su Ming exchanged a few polite words with him, then bid farewell and left.

He walked out of the main hall of the External Affairs Hall, the glaring sunlight making him squint slightly once more.He did not linger outside the hall. Instead, as usual, he walked with his gaze fixed straight ahead, following the fixed route directly towards the direction of the menial disciples' courtyard at the foot of the mountain.

The hand in his sleeve held the jade slip steadily, but his mind was already operating the Aura Concealment Art, firmly locking away the anticipation and curiosity that might otherwise show on his face.

With a treasure in hand, one must be even more cautious.

Investigating it in this place bustling with people would be no different from a naive child carrying gold through a crowded market.

He understood deeply that any trace of untimely eagerness could attract unnecessary attention.

Just as he was about to turn onto the stone steps leading down the mountain, a somewhat teasing, youthful voice sounded beside him.

"Looks like Elder Ma didn't do anything to you. What's that in your hand?"

Qingfeng was standing with his hands clasped behind his back, impatiently kicking pebbles on the ground with the tip of his foot.

Mingyue was squatting on the ground, curiously watching a line of ants moving house.

"What are you two doing here?" Su Ming was somewhat surprised.

"Just passing by."

"We were waiting for you! We went to the Accounting Office, and the manager there said you came here." Mingyue stood up, her eyes curving into crescents as she smiled. "Senior Brother said he wanted to see if Elder Ma would chase you down the mountain."

Hearing this, Qingfeng's little face flushed red, and he glared at Mingyue.
