Chapter 450

Xu Qi 'an returned to the little yard to change out of his uniform. He took a bath and had just put on his regular clothes when he saw the gatekeeper, Old Zhang, push open the door and come in.

"Dalang, a guest has arrived. Laoye is calling for you," Old Zhang, who had a goatee, said loudly.

"Understood, close the door and come in," Xu Qi 'an responded.

Old Zhang was taken aback at first, then he revealed a vigilant expression.

Didn't you want to go to the main compound? The person didn't leave, closed the door, and told me to come in.

What do you want to do?

Old Zhang ignored him and left the small courtyard without making a sound.

Old Zhang still remembered the matter of the servant being called into the bathroom and inexplicably fainting.

Xu Qi 'an walked out of the room and saw that Old Zhang was gone.

He had wanted to take Old Zhang over the wall so he wouldn't have to go around.

He jumped over the high wall and walked towards the front hall. Second Uncle had ordered someone to call for him. This meant that the guest that came to the compound was most likely related to him.

When he came to the front hall, a yellow dress appeared in his sight. It was Chu Caiwei that he hadn't seen for a long time.

A light yellow dress and fluffy hair.

There was a small deerskin bag at her waist and an octagonal fengshui compass hanging from it. Her almond-shaped eyes were clear and bright.

"Why did you come to my home?" Xu Qi 'an said in surprise.

Chu Caiwei sat at the main seat with Second Uncle by her side. She was eating a large bag of top-quality pastries from Osmanthus Restaurant. She slowly drank a mouthful of tea and swallowed the food. She said,

"If you don't go to the Celestial Commissioner, the next person to come will be Song Shixiong."

Xu Qi 'an suddenly realized and remembered that he really hadn't fulfilled his promise.

The matter of Zhou Li had been resolved. The periodic table of elements that he had agreed upon had not been delivered to the Celestial Commissioner yet.

The main reason was that he had been paying attention to whether Assistant Minister Zhou had fallen. Later, he had been called by the night watchman to the yamen to be publicly executed.

Then he became a glorious gong and started to live the life of a social animal that reversed black and white.

He had forgotten about the matter of the Celestial Commissioner. Xu Qi 'an swore to the heavens that he wasn't used to being a freeloader.

"Another day. I'll go another day." Xu Qi 'an said.

"Don't tell me you didn't prepare anything?" Chu Caiwei questioned.

"Of course I am prepared."

Chu Caiwei's Kazilan eyes flashed. "You're lying."

"Shixiong Shixiong said that you owed me for a long time.

"Senior Brother Song said that since you've been in arrears for so long, you have to pay him back with interest. The alchemy knowledge you've written in the blue book is rather profound. The alchemists in the Imperial Astronomer can't understand it at the moment. "Chu Caiwei ate a piece of pastry.

"It's the end of the year. Senior Brother Song hopes that you can go to the Imperial Astronomer and give a lecture to Tier 6 alchemists and warlocks below Tier 6."

"Okay." Shixiong. nodded "Xu Shixiong." Shixiong on. "Shixiong". "Shixiong, he said." Qi 'an "was paying." I said.

But I need an hour to prepare. "Chu Caiwei smiled." I will supervise you. "

Then she said to Xu Lingyin, who was standing on the side with her big eyes shining with desire, "Little girl, do you want to eat my cake?"

Xu Lingyin pecked her head.

"Then I'll let you have some." Chu Caiwei bounced up and down as she followed Xu Qi 'an.

The child had been coveting her cake. Chu Caiwei didn't want to give it to her, but Xu Qi 'an agreed so quickly. She was in a good mood. Anyway, the little girl couldn't eat much.

They came to Xu Qi 'an's courtyard. Chu Caiwei held the door, crossed one leg, and looked into the kitchen.

"You said you would make delicious food for me that day."

"… Next time." Xu Qi 'an thought, "You still remember that?"

Chu Caiwei was unhappy. She puffed up her cheeks, which made her sweet and cute oval face look like a steamed bun.

"It doesn't matter if she is the Supervisor's disciple … I can do this girl …" Xu Qi 'an was amazed.

Among the beauties he had seen, they all had their own characteristics. There was the plump and beautiful aunt, the elegant and refined younger sister, the courtesan who looked like a lady from a noble family but was actually a charming and affectionate courtesan, and Chu Caiwei was the cutest and sweetest girl.

"When I make the low-grade chicken essence, I will cook some noodles for you." Xu Qi 'an said.

An hour later, Xu Qi 'an finished writing and returned to the front hall of the main house with the big-eyed beauty.

Xu Lingyin sat on the chair that Chu Caiwei had just sat on. Her two short legs dangled in the air, and her belly was round.

"…" Chu Caiwei opened her mouth slowly and stared at the empty table.

"Where are my cakes? Where are the cakes I bought with two taels of silver?

It was such a big bag of cakes! "

Chu Caiwei's eyes were filled with tears.

"Thank you, sister. The cakes were delicious." Xu Lingyin burped and thanked her politely.

The big-eyed beauty was speechless. She stared at her little belly with hatred, then left with Xu Qi 'an with an aggrieved expression.

The horse's hooves clattered. Xu Qi 'an turned his head and looked at Chu Caiwei, who was jumping up and down on the horse's back with her cheeks puffed up.

"Aren't you ashamed? My sister only ate some of your cakes and got so angry." Xu Qi 'an sneered.

Chu Caiwei twisted her waist and said, "I planned to eat them when I listen to your lecture."

Xu Qi 'an thought for a moment and said, "It's just cakes. I will buy them for you. How much is it?"

Chu Caiwei smiled and said, "Two taels of silver."

"Don't let Senior Brother Song wait. Giddy, giddy …"

'Horse, hurry up and run.'

Chu Caiwei rolled her eyes and chuckled as she urged her horse to catch up.

…

The Celestial Commissioner.

As soon as Xu Qi 'an stepped into the stargazing tower, he was warmly welcomed by the people in white. He went up to the seventh floor and saw the alchemists led by Song Qing.

"You're finally here. If you don't come, I will go to your house myself." Song Qing stared at him with two dark circles under his eyes. He looked like he had overindulged.

He was very dissatisfied with Xu Qi 'an's delay.

He violated the principle of being "upright and upright" and did bad things for him. In the end, he waited and waited, but he still didn't come.

"There are a lot of things to do recently." Xu Qi 'an took out the manuscript in his arms and said, "Aren't I here now? How is Senior Brother Song's research on grafting?"

"The grafting of plants will have to wait until next spring. My main research direction is animals. Wait … "Song Qing said excitedly and hurriedly ran away. After a while, he came back with a manuscript.

"This is my recent idea of grafting. I heard that you joined the night watchman. Help me find a prisoner on death row."

Xu Qi 'an took a look and saw that it was a centaur. His drawing skills were not bad.

He cupped his hands at Song Qing and said, "We'll talk about this later. I have to fulfill my promise now."

Xu Qi 'an did not want to be killed by the Supervisor.

"Senior Brother Song Qing's alchemy has obviously gone astray … I have to use my profound knowledge of chemistry to straighten him out."

The teaching venue was the hall on the seventh floor.

The warlocks in white brought the cases over and sat upright like students. There were a total of 46 people from ninth to sixth rank, not including the people in white who were currently out of the country.

Xu Qi 'an knew that they were actually greedy for his theoretical knowledge of chemistry. In terms of hands-on ability, every sixth rank alchemist could beat him up.

"I have a hunch that after this lecture, my position in the Celestial Commissioner will rise again. When I copy poems to please the great scholars of Yunlu Academy and hold onto Father Wei's thigh, will I be able to do whatever I want in the capital in the near future? "

Xu Qi 'an's heart was suddenly burning with passion.

With the support of these three forces, as long as he did not do anything rebellious, he would be as stable as an old dog.

Erlang, big brother still loves you. He has already paved the way for you to be the Cabinet Secretary.

But you are so stingy that you are not willing to give big brother a promise.

Xu Qi 'an glanced at the warlocks in white. "Everyone, what do you know about alchemy? Before we start, let's talk about alchemy. "

…

Two luxurious carriages came and stopped outside the Stargazing Tower.

Yang Yan, who was acting as the coachman, jumped out of the carriage. He took out a small wooden stool and welcomed Wei Yuan down from the carriage.

Nangong Qianrou, who had a feminine temperament, also stepped out of the carriage.

A woman in a gorgeous long dress came out of the other carriage made of gold-threaded nanmu wood. She was tall and beautiful. Her eyes were cold, and her pretty face was plain white. She looked like a peerless beauty.

A light breeze blew, and the way she walked could only be sensed but not described.

"Princess!" Wei Yuan bowed respectfully.

His two adopted sons also bowed.

"Duke Wei is also here to see the Supervisor?" Princess Royal chuckled. She could not hide her noble temperament.

"Yes." Wei Yuan sighed. "A saltpeter mine was discovered in Taikang County, but it has been completely mined. It is suspected that it was done by the remnants of the Myriad Demon Kingdom. I suspect that there are still demons hiding in the capital. I would like to ask the Supervisor to open his Heaven's Eye and search for them. "

As for the information about the Earth Sect and the Earth Book Fragment, Wei Yuan did not intend to tell Princess Royal.

Those who were good at scheming would not make their foreshadowing known to the public in advance.

However, just the news of the remnants of the Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom caused the Grand Princess's expression to turn serious. Hence, there was a sense of majesty in her cold beauty.

"Where is Princess Royal?" Wei Yuan asked.

"I'm here to see Caiwei." Princess Royal replied. She asked casually, "Duke Wei, do you think Count Pingyuan's death has anything to do with the demons?"

Wei Yuan shook his head. "Count Pingyuan has nothing to do with the demons. He has no value."

Both parties entered the stargazing tower together. They were shocked to find that the tower was empty. No one came to greet them.

It was the same for the second and third floors.

Princess Royal frowned. "Celestial Commissioner, what happened?"

Wei Yuan remained silent.

They continued to climb the tower. When they reached the fifth floor, they finally saw a busy man in white.

When the man in white saw Wei Yuan and Princess Royal, he walked over and greeted them.

Princess Royal asked, "I have only seen you since I entered the tower. Celestial Commissioner, what happened? "

The man in white was furious. "I also don't want to see Princess Royal … Ah no, I also want to go to the seventh floor. However, I still have things to do. My senior brothers won't let me go. I'm so angry."

After he finished complaining, he explained, "Young Master Xu is giving a lecture on the seventh floor, imparting knowledge on alchemy. All the senior brothers have gone to listen."
