Hearing Zhang Dongyun's question, Ao Ying was a little hesitant.
The girl next to her smiled and pulled her sleeve, "Sister, I'm sorry. I was wrong to lie to you before, but I also have to be careful. Don't bring the person who pretends to be the daughter of the ape and Dragon King back to Chang 'an to see His Majesty. It's my fault. I'm sorry."
Ao Ying shook her head, "I don't blame you. What you did was right. I was too reckless before."
She thought for a moment and reported to Zhang Dongyun, "Father and I agreed that if we were separated, we would meet at a place called Wavy Moon Lake in Xiangxi County of the Eastern Tang dynasty."
The girl smiled bitterly, "Father lost control and went crazy. He may not remember the agreement. I can only hope that he will remember it on my birthday."
"Usually, I will ask someone to pay attention there."
Zhang Dongyun said, "On your birthday, someone will accompany you to Wavy Moon Lake."
Hearing that Zhang Dongyun said that he had changed, Ao Ying was stunned and then came to her senses, "Thank you … uncle."
"Go and rest. Dark Cloud will arrange a place for you to live in Daming Palace." Zhang Dongyun said, "After you settle down, draw a portrait of my reincarnation and give it to Dark Cloud."
"Yes, uncle."
Ao Ying thanked Zhang Dongyun and left the hall.
Her injury was healed by Zhang Dongyun and her mind was no longer weak. But at this moment, her mind was still empty. She had been nervous for a long time, but now she was slightly relieved.
After Ming Yixue turned her head and watched Ao Ying leave, the childishness on her delicate face disappeared.
There was a little pity in her eyes, "Brother Eleven is like this now. It's hard for the little girl."
Zhang Dongyun looked at the ten-year-old Ming Yixue criticizing the sixteen-year-old Ao Luan. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"But I'm very happy." He coughed.
Shen Herong smiled and said, "Because Brother Eleven is not a traitor?"
"Yes." Zhang Dongyun said.
"Little sister is also very happy, but …" The smile on Shen Herong's face disappeared.
"I'm happy with every new trustworthy person. After all, excluding Yang Li, I'm also suspicious of the remaining ten people."
Slowly, Zhang Dongyun said, "Now we have you and Eleventh Brother. Very good, very good.
Yang Li, Ying Xiao, and I are not worth mentioning. "
"I understand."
Shen Herong's expression also softened. "With you and Brother Eleven here, I'm also very happy."
"This time, other than Eleventh Brother's daughter, we also gained something else." Zhang Dongyun pointed his finger in the air.
Inside the main hall, the air fluctuated, flowing with light and vibrant colors, displaying the scene outside the hall.
In the image was a middle-aged man. He was exhausted and had a dejected look on his face.
"Someone who was with Northern Qi's Misty Sky Peak. Although they are of the same school, they don't seem to be going the same way." Shen Herong glanced at him.
The middle-aged man in the image was Mu Hongyuan, who was from the Northern Qi Dynasty's martial arts sect Misty Sky Peak and later betrayed his sect.
"It is true that he is from Northern Qi's Misty Sky Peak, but now, he is working for the Eastern Tang's Secret Pavilion," Zhang Dongyun said coolly.
Shen Herong's eyes lit up. "Big brother means that Yang Li is in the Secret Pavilion?"
The previous incident in the Sky Wolf Secret Cave had made Zhang Dongyun and Shen Herong suspicious, and they had determined the approximate range where Yang Li could be hiding.
Now, the Secret Pavilion had secretly sent people to pay attention to Huan Tianlong and the "Ape Dragon King" Ao Kong.
Zhang Dongyun and Shen Herong both turned their attention to the Secret Pavilion.
They turned their attention to the current master of the Secret Pavilion, Murong Ting.
"Big brother, what do you plan to do?" Shen Herong asked.
"I already have a plan," Zhang Dongyun said. "However, Yang Li is not stupid. He should have some guesses."
Shen Herong nodded. "It is good that big brother has plans. Then I will wait at Moon Wave Lake and see if Brother Eleven will go there."
Zhang Dongyun said, "I will send someone else to Moon Wave Lake. I have other things to do now, so I will leave it to you."
"Oh?" Shen Herong smiled. "What is it, big brother?"
"The literacy of the people in the city has been established. We can raise the next level."
Zhang Dongyun said, "I intend to set up a level four institution under the rule of Chang'an. It will correspond to scholars of different ages and have different levels of knowledge."
"Level four?" Shen Herong asked with a smile. "According to the traditional classification, level four is too much. If we divide it more carefully, level four is less."
Zhang Dongyun said casually, "For now, level four is enough. We can improve step by step. After that, people can continue to improve."
Shen Herong nodded. "Okay, I will raise the money seriously. I will not disappoint you, big brother."
"There is no hurry. You have worked hard on your trip to Xin Yuan Prefecture. Rest more," Zhang Dongyun said.
Shen Herong bade farewell to him and left the hall.
Zhang Dongyun was the only one left in the hall. He leaned back in his chair and looked up at the top of the hall.
After Gao Jun, Yun Mo and Chen Xingwen, two Eighth Realm experts, were captured one after another, helping Master Zhang earn a large sum of Guardian Experience Points.
[Random Guardian Mission 5.5: Kill or capture the Villa Master of Qing Xia Villa, Yun Mo, who has entered the city.]
[Random Guardian Mission 5.6: Kill or capture the Elder of Misty Sky Peak, Chen Xingwen, who has entered the city.]
[City Lord, your subordinate has captured Yun Mo, who has entered the city. Random Guardian Mission 5.5 completed. Obtained 700 experience points to level up.]
[City Lord, your subordinate has captured Chen Xingwen, who has entered the city. Random Guardian Mission 5.6 completed. Obtained 700 experience points to level up.]
Unfortunately, the other people of Qing Xia Villa and the Seventh Realm Mu Hongyuan did not generate a random Guardian Mission. They were 'eaten' by Yun Mo, who had a higher cultivation level than them.
Chen Xingwen came with the intention of negotiating, so he was not immediately judged as an enemy by the system.
But the problem was that the moment he counterattacked Purple Sun, he triggered a mission.
The system did not care what his original intention was, whether he was in the right or not, or whether he was passively counterattacking …
If Chen Xingwen did not want to trigger the mission, he could only escape from the city without making a single move, other than not resisting and allowing himself to be captured.
However, he obviously could not do this, but he was unwilling to not fight back and let Purple Sun capture him back to the city.
The result was that he contributed an additional 700 experience points to Master Zhang.
With the accumulated points from the previous mission and the accumulated points from previous missions, together with the 1,400 points from today, Zhang Dongyun had accumulated a total of 6,700 experience points from the current guardian mission.
In terms of numbers, he had already met the requirements for the fifth expansion and upgrade.
Now, he only needed to wait for the construction mission to accumulate 5,000 experience points.
The mission was handed over to Shen Herong. She was very good at it, and at the same time, she was also enjoying it. Master Zhang would not have to worry about it.
It was just that he did not know how long it would take. Right now, Zhang Dongyun could only hope that Twelfth Sister would be quick.
However, these aspects were still within his control. As long as he worked hard, it would be fine.
There were some things that could not be accomplished by relying on his own efforts at the moment.
Zhang Dongyun stood up from his seat and paced around the hall.
Given Ape and Dragon King Ao Kong's current situation, what if he still did not go to Moon Wave Lake on Ao Ying's birthday? What should he do then?
Zhang Dongyun stopped in his tracks and pondered.
He projected Mr. Dark Cloud and interrogated the Villa Master of Qing Xia Villa, Yun Mo.
The other party intended to find Ao Kong, who had transformed into the Mountain Moving Demonic Ape, through Ao Ying.
Zhang Dongyun decided to investigate the reason for the grudge and gather more information before making a judgment.
While he was thinking about Ape and Dragon King Ao Kong, others were also thinking about it.
In Luyang City of the Eastern Tang dynasty, in a small bamboo building in the backyard of the Mingguang Pavilion, it was dark.
Even though it was daytime, the pavilion was still as dark as night.
In the darkness, two green lights suddenly lit up and flickered back and forth.
They were human eyes.
At this moment, he was reading an urgent letter.
There was no need to light up. The dim environment did not affect this person's reading.
He read it very carefully.
He read the letter that was less than a hundred words for a long time.
After a while, the man put the letter aside and closed his eyes in deep thought.
The two green dots of light then disappeared.
"Chang 'an …"
After a long time, murmurs sounded in the pavilion.
The man stood up, walked to the door, and opened it.
Sunlight finally shone into the small building and illuminated the man's face.
It was the new Pavilion Master of the Hidden Pavilion, Murong Ting.
He squinted his eyes and looked towards the sun.
Dust flew aimlessly under the sunlight.
Murong Ting's thoughts were also in a mess. He needed to sort them out.
Previously, when the Mountain Moving Demonic Ape was causing trouble in Ye Chuan County, he had something to do and did not send anyone to keep an eye on it.
But later, the news showed that people from Chang 'an City had appeared there.
If it was Ye Chuan County, it could be said that Chen Jiezhi was looking for the Chen family and coincidentally bumped into the Mountain Moving Demonic Ape, then what about the Huan Tianlong this time?
There was also the earliest time in the Sirius Secret Cave.
It seemed that Chang 'an City had sent people to take revenge on Fuzhen Guan, who had a conflict with them.
But who knew if they had been targeting the Sirius Demonic Soul in the secret cave from the beginning?
This time, the Huan Tianlong was eventually brought back by Chang 'an.
Because Mu Hongwen did not report it in time, Murong Ting was not sure if it was a real demonic dragon or a demonic cultivator.
Once or twice was a coincidence, but what if it happened again and again?
He did not believe that it was a coincidence …
Murong Ting looked northwest in the direction of Chang 'an.
The sudden appearance of this mysterious city had already aroused his suspicions.
Now, he was almost certain.
It was just that he could not be sure who it was.
The other party had captured Mu Hongwen. If they knew that the Hidden Pavilion was also concerned about the Huan Tianlong, then …
Would they suspect me as well?
While Murong Ting was deep in thought, his subordinate reported that the King of Tang had summoned him.
He collected his thoughts and went to the palace to see the King of Tang.
"Is there any news about White Horse College?" King of Tang asked Li Xuanxin.
"We have the general information. The Dean of White Horse College did not go to Chang 'an and immediately returned to the Academy after fighting with someone. It was not because he was injured."
Murong Ting replied, "He should have been inspired after fighting with the other party, so he returned to the Academy to study quietly and digest what he learned."
"So, he will go to Chang 'an soon." King of Tang nodded. "Have you found out the identity of the person who fought with him?"
Murong Ting shook his head. "We only know that the other party's name is Zhang Zhonghang, and he is from outside the Tang Empire. We don't know his specific background. This person has disappeared in the Tang Empire."
King of Tang ordered, "Don't relax. Keep investigating."
Murong Ting replied, "Yes, His Majesty."
"There is news from Northern Qi that Gao Tiankai's sixth son, Gao Jun, is also detained in Chang 'an."
King of Tang continued, "Northern Qi intends to join forces with the Tang Empire to encircle and suppress Chang 'an. Minister Murong, you will lead the Secret Pavilion and speed up the collection of information about Chang' an."
Murong Ting replied, "This official obeys the imperial decree and will do his best."
King of Tang nodded and then motioned for everyone to leave. Only he and Murong Ting were left in the hall. "Relax."
Murong Ting smiled slightly. "Thank His Majesty."
Although he said so, his attitude was still respectful.
"I have been thinking these days. Where did Chang 'an come from?" King of Tang got up and walked around. "Who is its owner? It is so mysterious … "
He came to Murong Ting and looked at him. "Just like you, isn't it?"
