Eastern Court Tenki-in Hall, An Xiaolang had two celadon teacups placed in front of his desk. The aroma of the tea wafted through the air. At this moment, he was greeting Yao Li, who had just come to visit him.
Today, Yao Li had combed her hair into a bun. She wore a plain begonia patterned robe, tied up with a red silk sash. A scented pouch hung from her waist, and a coral pearl necklace was on her wrist. In Eastern Court, this was a very common attire for Tianxia girls.
Today was a rest day. Auspicious Light City was not far from An Province's Tenki-in Hall, so it was very convenient to take a flying boat here.
An Xiaolang had never seen Yao Li before. They had only exchanged letters. Because he knew that Yao Li was also Zhang Yu's student, he was very enthusiastic. He even took half a day out of his busy schedule to entertain her. He curiously asked, "Why didn't Junior Sister Yao Li go to Zhou City to play? Instead, you came to my place."
Yao Li said, "Last time, I heard Senior Brother Qing He mention you, so I took the liberty to send you a few letters. Thinking that I had never seen you before, since I came to An Province this time, I came to pay you a visit."
An Xiaolang laughed, spread his hands, and said, "How is it? Senior Brother's appearance didn't disappoint Junior Sister Yao Li, right?"
Yao Li looked at him, shook her head, and said, "I wasn't disappointed, but I wasn't surprised either."
An Xiaolang's smile unconsciously froze.
Yao Li picked up the teacup on the table, covered her mouth with her sleeve, and looked at him with a pair of clear black eyes, and said, "I was just joking with Senior Brother."
An Xiaolang grinned, and said, "Your expression is too unconvincing." He pointed at a plate of sparkling vermilion fruit pancakes on the table, "Junior Sister, this is a candied fruit unique to An Province. It's secretly made from spiritual plants in Fu Province. It's fragrant and sweet, not greasy, just right. You can't eat it anywhere else. Junior Sister, why don't you try it?"
Yao Li said, "Thank you, Senior Brother."
At this moment, a Jade Flower Fox seemed to have smelled the fragrance. Suddenly, a Jade Flower Fox trotted over. It laid its paws on the table and looked at An Xiaolang expectantly. Its fluffy tail also swayed there.
Yao Li's eyes slightly brightened as she asked, "Is this senior brother's pet?"
An Xiaolang said, "That's right. Back then, when Teacher and I lived in the Kui Residence in the outer layer, we specially adopted him. Right, Junior Sister, you haven't been there yet, right?"
Yao Li lightly shook her head.
"Don't look down on it," An Xiaolang said in high spirits, "It's a mystical creature, it can understand what we're saying, it's very smart. If you don't believe me, you can take a look." He coughed, waved his hand and said, "There's nothing for you to eat tonight, these are all mine, mine! You can go back. "
The Jade Flower Fox was stunned. It stared at him blankly for a moment, then suddenly leaped forward and bit him. An Xiaolang cried out, and the Jade Flower Fox ran off with its tail wagging.
Yao Li's eyes couldn't help but reveal a trace of a smile.
An Xiaolang rubbed the back of his hand that had a bite mark, and put it behind his back as if nothing had happened, saying, "Junior Sister, don't be envious. Who knows when Teacher will find you a mystical creature. Whether it's to protect you or help you pass on information, it's very convenient."
At this moment, a servant walked in from outside the hall and said, "Xiaolang, there's someone outside asking to see you. He says he's from the Yujing."
An Xiaolang said, "From the Yujing, could it be Teacher Guo?" He said apologetically to Yao Li, "Junior Sister, please wait for a moment, I'll be right back." Yao Li said, "Senior Brother, please go ahead."
An Xiaolang walked out. Not long after, he hurriedly walked in and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Junior Sister, my other teacher is looking for me. I need to go to the Yujing, I'm afraid I won't be able to entertain Junior Sister. I can take care of servants, if you're interested in creation, you can stay here for two more days."
Yao Li suddenly said, "Senior Brother, do you have any guards with you?"
An Xiaolang was startled, and he scratched his head. Originally, the Jade Flower Fox was his guard, but she was driven away by him. He muttered, "I don't need any guards to go to the Yujing, right?"
However, although he said so, he was still very cautious. He obediently went to find two armored soldiers to be his guards. In fact, even if he didn't mention it, the Tenki-in Hall would still assign people to him, because in the Tianji Workshop, other than Master Craftsman Wu, he was the most important person.
He prepared a few things, and brought his entourage onto the airship. They flew across the vast ocean, and in less than ten days, the airship landed in the Yujing. Then, it directly headed for the Yujing Tenki-in Hall.
When he came out of the underground car and passed by the square, two cultivators and the middle-aged man stood on a metal platform at the side, looking at his figure.
The middle-aged man was a little nervous. "He even brought two guards with him. Will it work?"
One of the cultivators with strange eyes said, "An Zhizhi's main defense force is in the Dongting. Because of his relationship with that big shot and his deep connection with Xuanfu, the best way to make him lose his protection force is to transfer him to the Yujing. Here, as long as that big shot doesn't personally follow him, he will be like a fish out of water, at our mercy."
The other cultivator said coldly, "What's more, he came to the Tenki-in Hall. There's no one here to cover for him. "
The middle-aged man said, "It's good that it works. But don't make a move if you can. "
The cultivator with strange eyes said, "Master Craftsman Shang, you're thinking too much. We won't use force. That might anger the big shot behind him, and also break the rules of Tianxia. We just need to confuse him and make him tell us everything."
The middle-aged man was relieved. It was good that they didn't make a move. This way, even if they found out, it wouldn't be a big mistake.
The letter An Xiaolang received was from Guo Ying. They hadn't seen each other for several years. He wanted to go directly to see this teacher, but when he arrived, he heard that she was in charge of something in the Institute of Creation, so he could only stay for now.
He had just booked a room in the guest pavilion prepared by the Heavenly Secrets Court. Before he could even tidy up, the middle-aged man and two other cultivators walked over. The middle-aged man bowed to him and said, "Greetings, Master Craftsman An."
An Xiaolang was a little surprised. He bowed and said, "You are …"
The middle-aged man put down his hand and said, "Master Craftsman An, you might not know me. I'm Master Craftsman Wei's student, Shang Ke. I just returned to the Yujing Tenki-in Hall not long ago."
An Xiaolang said, "So it's Master Craftsman Shang. This junior has heard of senior's name. Senior, what brings you here?"
Solemnly, Shang Ke said, "There's a matter. We're looking for Master Craftsman An because we want to ask for your help."
An Xiaolang asked, "Is it about the art of creation?"
Shang Ke said seriously, "We're looking for Master Craftsman An because we want to ask you to hand over the art of creation of that world you know, and hand it over to the Tenki-in Hall."
An Xiaolang was stunned. He dug his ears and said, "Wait, I didn't hear you clearly. Say it again."
Shang Ke persuaded him with a kind expression, "Master Craftsman An, are you not willing? You should know that the art you know is very useful to the Tenki-in Hall. You shouldn't hide it. You should share it with your colleagues. With this, our Tenki-in Hall can improve faster and benefit more people. "
An Xiaolang looked at this person. He didn't know whether to be angry or laugh. He calmed himself down and raised his hand to bow. He sincerely asked, "Senior, please teach this junior. How shameless must a person be to say such words so matter-of-factly?"
Shang Ke's expression changed. He said unhappily, "Master Craftsman An, I'm seriously discussing with you. I'm not joking."
An Xiaolang resisted the urge to curse. He slapped the table and said, "I'm also not talking to you. What does what the teachers gave me have to do with you?"
The two Daoist cultivators couldn't help but look at each other.
Shang Ke sighed and said, "Master Craftsman An, your thinking is too narrow. If the art of the Tenki-in Hall can improve, it can promote the improvement of all of Tianxia's art of creation. Compared to this, what's a little art that doesn't belong to you?"
An Xiaolang crossed his arms and said disdainfully, "While my curses are still on the way, please leave now. When they arrive, I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it."
Shang Ke looked disappointed.
At this time, one of the Daoist cultivators said, "I've told you before, words are useless. We still have to do it."
An Xiaolang asked cautiously, "What do you want to do?"
The Daoist cultivator was slightly startled. His eyes focused and he said, "You can see us?" Then he reacted and shouted, "He has a magic item on him. Break it first!"
This was actually very rare. Very few Daoist cultivators would carry the items of the Daoist cultivators on them. This was because the Daoist cultivators would lose their vitality. Generally speaking, the Tenki-in Hall wouldn't allow these items to be brought in by people who weren't Daoist cultivators.
At this moment, the eyes of the Daoist cultivator with different pupils shone with a psychedelic color, and the entire inner chamber suddenly flashed. An Xiaolang was only slightly dazed, but a jade talisman on his body emitted a gentle glow, and his mind was immediately fixed.
The other cultivator took the opportunity to take the jade talisman. However, when his mind's light touched it, his expression changed and he spat out a mouthful of blood. He couldn't help but be shocked. Just as he was about to act recklessly, he suddenly heard a shout, "You dare to use magic in Yujing City? You have guts!"
The two Daoist cultivators' expressions changed. "Are you from the Baizhen Mountain? Let's go! "
However, the two of them had just turned into light when they were covered by a rainbow light. In the blink of an eye, they were sucked in. The light in the room faded and a beautiful girl in colorful clothes came out. She waved her hand at An Xiaolang. "Hey, are you okay?"
An Xiaolang asked cautiously, "Who are you?" In his eyes, the other party was clearly a paper person. It was just a face and a body that was outlined with lines.
The girl in colorful clothes was startled. She smiled and said, "You can see my spell. You must have a talisman given to you by an expert. Don't worry, this is a talisman drawing technique. I'm thousands of miles away. My Martial Uncle, you and my teacher are from the same sect. She asked me to take care of you. "
At this time, she walked to the side and patted Shang Ke. "Hey, you even tricked your junior. You're too inhumane, aren't you?"
Shang Ke was confused and said, "What did you say? Who are you? "
An Xiaolang said in surprise, "You're too good at pretending."
The girl in colorful clothes frowned because she felt that this person wasn't pretending. He was indeed bewitched. If that was the case, this person was also being used.
However, there was a problem. Who could say that he didn't mean it?
However, without sufficient evidence, they couldn't convict him. This person was also someone who was affected by the magic. She snorted. "Count yourself lucky. Let's go."
