    Chapter 299: Two Conversations

    “Master of the State, Master of the State?”

    The veiled woman shouted a few times and realized that Luo Yuheng’s face was dull and his eyes were lax, like a jade beauty, beautiful but without spirit.

    The veiled woman reached out to push, but was blocked back by a wall of air.

    Outer city, a certain small courtyard.

    A ghostly light that could not be captured by ordinary people descended and landed in the courtyard, transforming into a beautiful woman wearing a basilica-colored Taoist robe and a lotus flower crown.

    She had almond eyes and peach cheeks, her features were stunningly beautiful, her hair was dark and beautiful, and her loose Taoist robes couldn’t hide the proud stiffness of her chest.

    Luo Yu Heng pushed the door and saw an old Taoist with white hair lying on the bed with a peaceful face.

    After gazing and sensing for a moment, she poked out her hand in her loose Taoist robe and suddenly grabbed it.

    A few breaths later, a slightly illusory silhouette returned from the distance and was taken into her palm, and with a wave of her sleeve robe, she struck into the old Taoist’s physical body.

    Daoist Master Golden Lotus opened his eyes and sat up cross-legged, helplessly saying, “I’m already on my way back.”

    Saying that, Daoist Master Golden Lotus scrutinized Luo Yu Heng’s tall and buoyant figure and said, “Senior sister has even gone out of her Yang Shen and is so eager, what is so important?”

    Luo Yu Heng didn’t talk nonsense and asked bluntly, “Did you watch the fight today?”

    Daoist Master Golden Lotus nodded.

    “The Confucian carving knife has appeared.”

    Daoist Master Golden Lotus hesitated slightly and nodded slightly.

    “I’m asking you, what exactly is Xu Qi’an.” Luo Yu Heng took a step forward, her wonderful eyes burning.

    “An ordinary person.” Daoist Master Jinlian’s reply was actually a bit hesitant.

    “An ordinary person can use a Confucian carving knife?” Luo Yuheng sneered.

    Daoist Golden Lotus frowned.

    After a long time, he slowly said, “When I first met him, I could see that he was someone with great fortune, so I gifted him the fragment of the Earth Book, borrowing his fortune to avoid the Purple Lotus’ tracking.

    “Afterward, I did some research on his identity and found it a bit strange. Regardless of whether it was Li Miaozhen, Chu Yuanzhuan, or anyone else, almost all of them had already risen to power by the time I gifted the Earth Book fragment to them.

    “Only Xu Qi’an is at the Refined Essence Realm, and his family lineage is even more mediocre, so how can he be blessed? Heh, blessed destiny is either to do good deeds or to be blessed by one’s ancestors. He doesn’t have either.

    Luo Yu Heng listened patiently without interrupting.

    “Then something happened that made me realize something wasn’t right with himOnce, the kid exposed himself in a fragment of the Earth’s book, saying he picked up silver every day and wanted to know why.”

    Hearing this, Luo Yu Heng couldn’t help himself, “This isn’t a blessed fate, is it.”

    Daoist Master Golden Lotus gazed at her, his eyes deep and bright as he said word for word, “This is qi luck, heaven-splitting qi luck.”

    Despite his guesses, Luo Yu Heng’s pupils abruptly contracted when he received confirmation from Daoist Master Golden Lotus.

    Xu Qi’an woke up in a ghostly manner, pain in every part of his body, especially his neck, a fiery pain coming out.

    He rolled his eyes and swept the scene around him, a white bed tent, a brocade quilt embroidered with lotus leaves, simple but elegant furnishings . At the round table in the outer hall sat an old man in a Confucian shirt.

    The old man in the Confucian shirt has white hair hanging down in a messy manner, the Confucian shirt is loose, the white beard has not been trimmed for a long time, and the whole person has a “funereal” atmosphere.

    Who was this cynic? Doubts flashed through Xu Qi’an’s heart.

    “You’re awake,” the old cynic got up and said with a smile, “I’m Zhao Shou, the dean of the Cloud Deer Academy.”

    The headmaster of the Yunlu Academy . Rhetoric had said that the dean of the academy was of the Confucian Third Grade Lifelong Realm! Xu Qi An immediately straightened up and arched his hand:

    “So it’s the dean, the dean has an extraordinary temperament, elegant and introverted, truly a respected elder.”

    There was a pause before he said, “Why is Dean in my room?”

    Dean Zhao Shou did not reply, his gaze falling on his right hand, and Xu Qi’an realized that he had been holding the carving knife at all times.

    He was first stunned, then had a guess: this carving knife was from the Cloud Deer Academy? That’s right, other than the Cloud Deer Academy, what other system could be wrapped in the Hao Rong Zheng Qi.

    “This carving knife is the greatest treasure of my academy, you’ve been holding it in your hand and no one can take it away, so I had to wait here for you to wake up and ask you something in the meantime.”

    After Zhao Shou finished speaking, he glanced at the ancient carving knife again, with a look that seemed to say: still holding it? The little scion doesn’t understand anything at all.

    Xu Qi’an offered it with both hands.

    Zhao Shou didn’t pick it up, but looked at the table.

    Understanding this, Xu Qi’an dropped the carving knife on the table with a clang.

    Zhao Shou’s eyebrows jumped, and he hurriedly made a bow and paid three obeisances towards the carving knife before taking out a wooden box from his sleeve and storing the carving knife inside.

    “Does Lord Xu know where the carving knife came from.” Zhao Shou smiled.

    Xu Qi’an’s heart stirred slightly as he made a bold guess, “The Sub-Saint’s Carving Knife?”

    Zhao Shou shook his head, “This is the carving knife of a saint.”

    Sage’s Carving Knife Is that saint, is it a saint beyond the grade That, carving knife can let me touch it for a while longer, I haven’t taken a picture to send it to my friends . Xu Qi An opened his mouth, his throat felt like it had lost its voice, unable to speak.

    “Since the passing of Yasha, this carving knife has been silent for more than a thousand years, and even though future generations could use it, they were unable to awaken it. I didn’t expect it to break out of the box today to aid Lord Xu.”

    Zhao Shou gazed intently at Xu Qi’an and said in a deep voice, “There are some words that need to be mentioned to Lord Xu in person.”

    Xu Qi’an’s heart sank with a sense of foreboding as he rose from the bed and bowed, “Please instruct the dean.”

    “No way. No way.”

    Luo Yu Heng kept shaking her head, her two delicate and slender eyebrows furrowing as she retorted:

    “I’ve come into contact with him many times, if he’s harboring qi, there’s no way I can’t detect it, how can my Human Sect not detect it?”

    Daoist Master Golden Lotus asked rhetorically, “What if it’s shielded from the heavens? And now that you look at Xu Qi’an again, you will be just as unable to detect any abnormality in him.”

    “You mean Supervisor Zheng?” Luo Yu Heng took a deep breath and frowned in a beautiful gesture, and as his brows furrowed, his eyes were as sharp as knives:

    “Haven’t you investigated Xu Qi’an, he’s a tiny silver gong, there’s no figure in his ancestry that warped the heavens and the earth, how can he afford to have his qi fortune added to his body?”

    “I’m sorry, I haven’t figured this matter out.” Daoist Master Golden Lotus got up from the bed and walked over to the table and sat down, pouring two cups of water and gesturing for Luo Yu Heng to take a seat.

    The woman’s state teacher ignored it.

    How could she have the leisure to drink tea right now.    Luo Yu Heng pondered for a long time and suddenly said, “If it’s a warlock shielding the heavenly chances, it’s reasonable that you can’t see his blessings at all. The Supervisor is laying out the grass snake, if he doesn’t want others to know, others will never know, this is a first grade warlock.”

    “What you can think of, I naturally thought of.” Daoist Master Golden Lotus sipped his tea and spoke in a calm tone, “Some time ago, I realized that his blessing had disappeared and purposely went over to take a look.

    “It was discovered that it was the Supervisor Zheng who shielded the heavens to conceal his specialness. I knew then that this matter was unusual, and that this person Xu Qi’an was hiding a huge hidden secret behind him.

    “That day I left the Xu Mansion, and as I walked, I came to the Bagua Terrace of the Stargazer’s Building and met the Supervisor Zheng.”

    “What did he say?” Luo Yu Heng’s beautiful eyes narrowed.

    “Well water does not interfere with river water.” Daoist Master Golden Lotus said in a deep voice.

    The figure of the floating and convex Luo beauty, silent for a long time, biting the silver teeth and teeth, gas said: “The dynasty’s fortune plummeted, really with the Secretary for Heavenly Supervision can not get out of it.”

    Daoist Golden Lotus frowned, “What do you mean.”

    Luo Yu Heng finally sat down at the table, picked up her teacup, her delicate red lips pursed the rim of the cup, took a sip, and said, ”Some years ago, Wei Yuan had come to Spiritual Treasure Guan, pointing his finger at my nose and berating the red face.

    “He said that in the twenty years since His Majesty’s monasticism, the power of the Dafeng nation has been declining, that the tax and silver and granaries of the states are not collected from time to time, that the people are in distress, and that corrupt officials are rampant.

    “This was all caused by me compelling His Majesty to cultivate for the sake of my own cultivation and causing His Majesty to neglect his government.”

    Is it not? Daoist Master Golden Lotus ventriloquized in his heart.

    “From then on, I suddenly realized that the dynasty’s qi was beginning to drain away, a blunt knife cutting into the flesh, making it difficult to notice. If it wasn’t for Wei Yuan’s talent for governing and familiarity with civil affairs, he was the first to notice and gave me a head start, I’m afraid I would have had to wait a few more years before realizing the signs.”

    After hearing this, Daoist Master Golden Lotus nodded and reminded, “Don’t say so much, this is the Supervisor Zheng’s territory, so I can’t say that the content of our conversation has been listened to by him.”

    “Not so much,” Luo Yu Heng bristled, rather confidently, “He can’t hear it.”

    It’s not a matter of whether he can hear me or not, it’s a matter of me not wanting to get involved in this shit. Taoist Master Jinlian was full of wisdom and digressed from the topic:

    “If, and I mean if, Xu Qi’an really does have a fortune added to his body, will you dual cultivate with him.”

    Luo Yu Heng’s expression froze once again.

    “Do you know why the Sage Carving Knife broke out of the box? Why is it that apart from the Sub-Saints, those in later generations can only use it and cannot awaken it?” Zhao Shou asked two questions in a row.

    I am just a crude martial artist ah Dean Xu Qi An shook his head, indicating that he did not know.

    The dean didn’t sell himself short and said in a deep voice, “There is a lack of qi. This carving knife was used by sages, who used it to carve out the Spring and Autumn Annals, the Rites, the Music, the Yi, and so on.

    “It cannot be used by those who have not gathered the great fortune of the earth.”

    In the dean’s passage, he finally solved for Xu Qi’an the mystery that had been troubling him for so long, that his odd luck was in fact qi luck.

    Every day to pick up silver, this is not the son of luck a day to pick up a money, slowly become a day to pick up three money, a day to pick up five money or a will be upgraded luck.

    No, instead of upgrading, I would say that it is slowly reviving inside me Xu Qi An s heart sank.

    There was a reason why he would think so, as his rank increased, his luck became better and better. At first glance it seemed like luck was upgrading, but how could this thing still be upgrading?

    The only explanation was that the qi in his body was slowly reviving.

    But I’m just a child of an ordinary family in the capital, my Xu family is just an ordinary family, my second uncle and my biological father are crude martial artists, a big-headed soldier.

    Unless I’m not a pup of the Hsu family.

    This suspicion has been entertained before, for in the palace there is a licking dragon . Scratch that, there was a Spirit Dragon that was very pleasing to him. Taoist Master Jinlian said the Spirit Dragon only likes people who are blessed with purple energy.

    Xu Qi’an said at that time, Aigoo, finished, finished, I still think of Huaiqing beauty, I won’t be the illegitimate son of which prince of the royal family in the folk.

    But Xu Qi’an’s face before “plastic surgery”, and Xu second uncle quite similar, from the genetic analysis, the two are related.

    He, Xu Qi’an, was the pup of the Xu family, the heir of Xu Pingzhi’s elder brother. Even if he was Xu Pingzhi’s illegitimate son outside the family, he was still a pup of the Xu family.

    The essence remains the same.

    So, where’s the chi?

    Dean Zhao Shou Wen said, “This qi fortune is mysterious but real. In the nine states, there are three things related to qiyun: first, Confucianism; second, magicians; and third, earthly emperors.

    “The third is not confined to the Great Bong, as are the Witch God Cult and the Buddhist sects of the West. As for the northern and southern barbarians, the former’s tribes are scattered and have not been unified. The latter’s clans are sparsely populated, and neither has been able to gather qi.”

    Confucianism mostly has nothing to do with me, or else the dean wouldn’t be beeping me about this . Then, there are only two reasons for my chi to be added: the royal family and the Divine Providence.

    If I am a royal heir, then it is finished, Lin An and Huai Qing are my sister, or cousin. However, Spirit Dragon’s attitude suggests that I’m unlikely to be a royal heir, and wouldn’t a rooted royal son or daughter be more deserving of a lick than a stray bastard.

    Besides, I don’t see framing and Huaiqing picking up silver every day.

    I am now steadily growing in my relationship with Lin’an, and I am getting along well with Huaiqing, and I have become a Viscount myself, so I can hope to marry the Princess in the future if I can bring the Viscount up to an Earl.

    I can’t have any blood involvement with the royal family no matter what.

    Combined with the Supervisor’s past attitude and performance, Xu Qi’an suspected that this matter was mostly related to the Sitian Supervisor, no, it was related to the Supervisor.

    Seeing that he seemed to have figured something out, Dean Zhao Shou said smilingly, “What else do you want to ask?”

    Anything you want to ask? Well, Dean, Xu Qi’an’s gun, will never fall. Do you think it’s feasible? Give me a line if it works. Xu Qi An said.

    Outwardly, he shook his head, “Nope, thanks for clearing that up Dean.”

    Zhao Shou nodded, “The eunuch from the palace has been waiting outside for a long time, ask him to come in, His Majesty has something to ask you.”

    A palace eunuch?

    Xu Qi’an knew the purpose of the eunuch’s search for him after a brief moment of contemplation.

    During the fight, he had made two great power breakthroughs, the “Eight Bitterness Formation” and the “Vajra Formation”, which were outbursts that exceeded the limits of his strength.

    Although some “smart people” may speculate that it is the Supervisor who is secretly assisting them, routine inquiries cannot be avoided.

    Moreover, Xu Qi’an glanced at Zhao Shou, the first two blades could still dump the pot on the Supervisor, this carving knife of the academy appeared and shattered the Buddha realm, this was beyond the Supervisor’s control.

    Emperor Yuan Jing is a controlling emperor, he won’t turn a blind eye to these details . If I don’t cope well, I could be in trouble, exposing things that shouldn’t be exposed, such as . The carving knife was summoned by me.

    Xu Qi’an put on his clothes and sable hat and headed to the hall with Dean Zhao Shou.
