Xu Qi'an was resurrected from Yunzhou and made a contribution. He was conferred the title of nobility, and his relationship with Lin An and Huaiqing improved by leaps and bounds.
As for the night watchman, Wei Yuan also promised to promote him to be a silver gong. Whether it was his future, his career, or his love life, they were all improving steadily.
It could be predicted that in a few years, he would become a duke, marry a princess, and reach the peak of his life … It was also very possible.
The capital had been prosperous since ancient times. It was rich in resources, medical care, and social welfare. It was at the forefront of this era. People liked to gather in prosperous cities, and Xu Qi'an was no exception.
He had drifted north in the past.
It was not that he had no choice, but that he did not want to leave the capital.
"Master, you are making things difficult for me …" Xu Qi'an frowned and asked, "Master, why do you want to leave the capital?"
Shen Shu tilted his head and looked in a certain direction. "I can feel that the Western Sect is coming."
Western Sect?
Xu Qi'an was startled for a moment before he realized that Shen Shu was talking about the Western Buddhist Sect.
"Right, during the Sampo Case, when Monk Pan Shu of the Green Dragon Temple learned that Master Shen Shu had escaped, he immediately left the temple and headed west … So, the Buddhist Sect is coming to punish me?
"No wonder Shen Shu wants me to leave the capital. If the baldy from the West finds out that Shen Shu is in my body, I may really be suppressed in the Five Fingers Mountain for 500 years.
"And I don't have the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal's thick and hard Sea Stabilizing Needle, so I don't even have a chance to resist."
"So you want me to leave the capital temporarily?" Xu Qi'an looked worried.
Shen Shu nodded slowly.
"Alright, we are now in the same boat. Oh right, Master, I heard that the Buddhist sect has a mystical body tempering technique that allows one to cultivate the Invincible Vajra Body without tempering the body. Can you teach me?"
He had to reap the benefits first.
Shen Shu shook his head. "I am just a remnant soul."
"I don't know if you are a remnant soul, but I know that you want to freeload me …" Xu Qi'an's mouth twitched.
The thin mist gathered and enveloped the dilapidated temple. Then, it gradually faded and disappeared … Xu Qi'an opened his eyes and returned to his room. He was sitting on the bed in the same posture.
"There's no need to think about it to know that the Buddhists of the Western Region are here for Monk Shen Shu. It's already been more than a month. At most, they'll look through the files and understand what happened. It's impossible for them to stay in the capital for too long.
"Then, my departure from the capital is only temporary, and it won't be long before I return."
Xu Qi 'an nodded slightly. He could still accept such a proposal. He would just take it as a vacation and rest. He would go to a rich city and live the boring life of a rich person for a few days.
"On the other hand, it's not easy to write a leave slip. Leaving the capital for no reason is not allowed by the yamen's system. Moreover, Wei Yuan can't leave me.
"The world is so big. If I want to see it … I'll definitely be rejected. Old Wei doesn't understand my joke.
"Right, I'll find the Jinlian Taoist priest to discuss it. Let him think of a random reason. For example, someone in the Underground Book Chat Group is in trouble and needs my help …"
Xu Qi'an planned to find the Jinlian Taoist priest to discuss it. He could say that he wanted to leave the capital for a period of time, but the yamen's system was strict and he couldn't leave the capital for no reason. The main thing was to give Wei Yuan an acceptable reason.
But before that, he still had some matters to finish. For example, attending the banquet tomorrow and instructing the prison guards to keep an eye on the couple. Whether or not Erlang could stay in the capital after the civil service examination depended on them.
Another example was to test how Wei Yuan planned to take revenge on Imperial Concubine Chen.
Although the Concubine Fu case was over, the enmity had been formed. Wei Yuan wanted to investigate the power behind Imperial Concubine Chen and would definitely follow up.
And the Empress had lost her only brother. It was likely that she would no longer be a Buddhist. The Yuanjing Emperor's harem was bound to start a reign of terror between the women.
Xu Qi'an was concerned about how intense the war would be. He didn't want to come back to the capital only to hear that Imperial Concubine Chen had died or that the Empress was dead.
If that was the case, Lin 'an and Huaiqing would be like fire and water, unable to be sisters.
His dream of a free threesome by the Daming Lake would almost be shattered.
At this time, a servant came to the door and shouted, "Dalang, Miss Caiwei of the Celestial Commissioner is here to visit."
"What is she doing here?"
Xu Qi'an replied, "I know. Let Auntie entertain her first. I'll go over later."
He put the diary, silver and other private items into the Underground Book fragment to prepare for leaving the capital. After confirming that he didn't leave behind any dead items, he breathed a sigh of relief and went out to see Chu Caiwei.
…
In the living room, Chu Caiwei had a piece of water chestnut cake in each hand. She quickly stuffed it into her mouth. The way she wolfed it down was as if someone was fighting with her for food …
There was indeed someone fighting with her for food. Xu Lingyin, who was standing opposite her, had a piece of water chestnut cake in each hand. She quickly stuffed it into her mouth, and the way she gobbled it down showed that she was fighting with Chu Caiwei for food.
Between the two of them, there were seven or eight kinds of pastries. The variety was rich and the quantity was not small.
Today, Chu Caiwei brought a big bag of food to the Xu Mansion. She ate while waiting for Xu Qi'an. Suddenly, a little child appeared out of nowhere and looked at her eagerly.
The big-eyed beauty still remembered her. She was Xu Ningyan's younger sister. She was a gluttonous child who could eat a lot.
"Take whatever you want to eat. Big Sister has a lot here …"
Chu Caiwei remembered that she said this.
In the beginning, the big and small foodies could coexist peacefully. You eat your food and I eat mine. It was a happy and harmonious life. However, as she ate, Chu Caiwei suddenly realized that this girl ate faster than her.
No, I'm at a disadvantage. I have to eat faster too.
Xu Lingyin saw that this big sister suddenly ate faster. It was obvious that she wanted to compete with me for food. No, I'm at a disadvantage. I have to eat faster.
There was no communication during the whole process, but the battle between the foodies quickly became white-hot.
When Xu Qi'an came to the back hall and saw this scene, he was stunned.
"Hey, hey, hey. You can't eat like this."
Xu Qi'an looked at the little bean's round belly. He pulled her to the side and looked around. "Where's my aunt?"
Aunt wasn't in the hall. He guessed that she was preparing for tomorrow's banquet. Otherwise, she wouldn't have let the little bean eat like this.
"Big Brother, Big Brother, water chestnut cake is delicious …" Xu Lingyin struggled with all her might to express her anxiety. In the blink of an eye, that big sister had eaten a few more pieces.
"It won't kill you."
Xu Qi'an pointed to the pastries on the table and grumpily said, "Put them away, put them away … What does Miss Caiwei want?"
He guessed that Chu Caiwei was looking for him to play. After his resurrection, he had been busy investigating Concubine Fu's case and hadn't seen her for half a month.
With my current appearance at the peak, it's not strange that she's thinking about my beauty … Xu Qi'an smiled.
"Teacher asked me to invite you to Stargazing Tower." As Chu Caiwei spoke, she picked up the teacup and took a sip. She packed the remaining pastries into the deerskin bag on her waist.
Supervisor invited me to Stargazing Tower … Xu Qi'an secretly frowned, but he didn't resist too much.
Xu Qi'an couldn't estimate which floor the Supervisor was on, but the Supervisor knew exactly which floor he was on.
The two went out of the Xu Mansion together, each riding a horse to Stargazing Tower.
"Fifth Sister asked me to buy those pastries, but most of them were eaten by your sister." Chu Caiwei held the reins, looked ahead and said in a sweet voice,
"Xu Ningyan, you have to pay me money."
"Talking about money hurts feelings. The feelings between us can't be measured by money."
Xu Qi'an squeezed the horse's belly and said, "Don't let Lord Supervisor wait for too long. Go, go, go …"
The horse, quickly galloped.
When they arrived at the Celestial Commissioner, Xu Qi'an pretended that the pastries had never happened. He didn't wait for Chu Caiwei and went into the building with ease.
"Hey, why is the Celestial Commissioner so quiet today?"
The lobby on the first floor was empty, with only a few doctors on duty. Their expressions didn't look right, and they looked at the stairs from time to time, as if they were afraid that a monster would come down.
Hearing Xu Qi'an's words, a doctor in white at the door replied, "Prince Xu, they all went to the medical center to see patients."
"What day is it today?" Xu Qi'an asked.
The doctor in white smiled awkwardly and didn't answer.
Xu Qi'an went upstairs in confusion. When he reached the seventh floor, he found that the alchemy room had been blown up, and the alchemists who were usually very active were nowhere to be seen.
He arrived at the Eight Trigrams Stage smoothly.
He first saw the back of the Supervisor. He was dressed in white, and his white hair was loose. He was sitting on the edge of the Eight Trigrams Stage, facing the outside of the building.
Then he saw a woman with disheveled hair sitting next to the Supervisor. She was wearing a simple linen robe, and she was eating and drinking at the table.
The reason why he could tell that she was a woman was that when a man was lying on his stomach, the outline of his buttocks would not be so full and round.
"Greetings, Supervisor!"
Xu Qi'an stopped far away and greeted her with a fist and palm salute.
"Not bad, your foundation is very solid," the Supervisor commented.
At this time, footsteps came from the staircase. Chu Caiwei's skirt fluttered as she came up with a few bags of pastries.
She put the pastries on the table and pushed them to the woman who was eating crazily. The woman looked sideways and said, "So little?"
"They were eaten by a stupid child." Chu Caiwei pushed the blame to Xu Lingyin.
The woman nodded and continued to eat.
Fifth Senior Sister?
At this time, Xu Qi'an came back to his senses and remembered the conversation he had with Wei Yuan.
The Supervisor had five disciples, and five of them were in closed-door training all year round. Those who didn't know the Celestial Commissioner would think that the Celestial Commissioner only had one female disciple, Chu Caiwei.
"So it's her?" Xu Qi'an thought.
At this time, the Supervisor's mellow voice sounded, "How's this saber?"
"It's very useful. Thank you, Master Supervisor," Xu Qi'an said respectfully.
At the same time, he cursed in his heart, "This saber is tailor-made for my Heaven and Earth Slash. Isn't this all within your calculations? Stop talking nonsense."
"How's the effect of the Birth Enhancement Pill?" the Supervisor asked again.
"Very good." Xu Qi'an said after some consideration, "It's just that the big change in my appearance has caused me some trouble. I'm not as gentle and low-key as I used to be."
"Is that so …" The Supervisor nodded and said with a smile, "I can help you restore your original appearance."
"Ah? You can change back to this … "Xu Qi'an was a little stunned and quickly waved his hand." I don't dare to trouble the Supervisor. "
Actually, being a naturally beautiful man who can't give up on himself would make me feel more immersed in it!
He didn't dare to say anything in front of the Supervisor, so he could only be mischievous in his heart.
The Supervisor nodded slowly and said, "Zhong Li is my fifth disciple, a Level Five Prophet. She will follow you for a period of time to gain experience."
Chu Caiwei was stunned. She looked at the Supervisor and then turned to look at Xu Qi'an.
So a Level Five Warlock is called a Prophet … But why does she need to follow me for a period of time to gain experience? Xu Qi'an said tentatively,
"This … Do I know the reason?"
The Supervisor didn't answer his question. He called, "Zhong Li."
The woman in linen robe stood up and bowed to Xu Qi'an. She said, "Teacher, you said I'm lucky. If I follow you, my bad luck will be reduced to a certain extent. You are my Fated Chance."
Her voice was quite pleasant and pleasant to hear.
Xu Qi'an stared at her face, but she lowered her head slightly. Her messy and thick hair completely covered her face.
"Bad luck?" Xu Qi'an asked.
Zhong Li thought for a while and replied sincerely, "A Prophet can pry into the secrets of the heavens. They will suffer from the backlash of the Way of Heaven and are plagued by bad luck. They can only be promoted if they can survive 3,600 Tribulations. If they can't survive, they will die.
"Anyone who can survive the backlash of the Way of Heaven is a person with great luck."
After listening to Zhong Li's explanation, Xu Qi'an thought of two things. First, he finally understood why there were so many Level Six Alchemists in the Celestial Commissioner. He had only seen one alchemist above the Level Six, Yang Qianhuan.
Second, the Act Tough King is a person with great luck. Unbelievable, unbelievable!
A Prophet can pry into the secrets of the heavens? Well, this is the prerequisite profession for a Prophet … Xu Qi'an asked curiously, "How does the backlash of the Way of Heaven appear? I have to evaluate how terrible the backlash is. After all, I'm just an ordinary gong. "
He was right. The Supervisor knew about his strange luck.
Zhong Li thought for a while and said, "A loose tongue can cause trouble. Sometimes, my unintentional words can turn into a substantial disaster and implicate the people around me, including myself.
"Sometimes, an unintentional action can bring about unforeseen disasters. And the size of it can't be controlled. Taking a step back can lead to a great disaster of life and death. "
As she said this, she symbolically took half a step back.
With such a simple movement, an accident happened. A dignified Rank-5 powerhouse actually slipped and fell from the Eight Trigrams Stage. Fell …
"Save him!!!"
Xu Qi'an's expression changed and he shouted instinctively.
The Stargazing Tower was 100 meters high. If Xu Qi'an fell from this height, he would die without a doubt if he hadn't reached the Copper Skin and Iron Bone Realm.
And the physique of a Warlock was very ordinary, far from being comparable to that of a Warrior.
At the same time, a song floated uncontrollably in Xu Qi'an's mind.
Are you serious about taking half a step back? Such a small action can cause so much damage …
The Supervisor sighed, reached out his hand under his wide sleeve, and gently grabbed.
Zhong Li, who had fallen from the building, was caught and pulled up, avoiding the fate of falling to her death.
She lowered her head, her black hair scattered, and her tone was very calm. "In fact, if I'm prepared, even if I jump from the Stargazing Tower, I won't be hurt. But I don't know why, just now, my mind was in a mess, and I didn't have any thoughts of saving myself …
"Well, if someone else helps me deal with the bad luck, it won't work. Only by going through the test myself will it work. "
So, you need me, the Emperor of Luck, to help you, the unlucky one, to minimize the bad luck … Xu Qi'an suddenly nodded and understood the real reason why the Supervisor asked him to come.
"Sorry."
Xu Qi'an shook his head and refused. "I have something important to deal with, and it's not convenient to take people with me."
Suddenly, a glass of wine flew in front of him.
As Xu Qi'an reached out to take it, the Supervisor's voice sounded in his ear. "Drink it, and you don't have to leave the capital."
"The Supervisor knows why I have to leave the capital?" "He really knows that Monk Shenshu is in my body … The wine is just ordinary wine, how is he going to help me …" Xu Qi'an drank the wine in the glass, and a corresponding speculation came to him.
Shielding Heavenly Secrets!
It was a Warlock's specialty.
…
In the military camp of the White Emperor in Yunzhou, thousands of miles away from the capital.
In the tent of the Flying Swallow Army, Li Miaozhen took off her Light Armor, put away her silver spear, and changed into the Taoist robe of Tenzō. She looked just like when she left the mountain.
The paper doll Susu was commanding a group of ghosts to help pack up the valuables.
