    Chapter Index

    Xu Qi’an went back to the small courtyard to change out of his errand clothes, took a shower, and had just put on his regular clothes when he saw Old Zhang, the concierge, push the door in.

    “Da Lang, a guest has arrived, the master calls for you to come over.” Old Zhang with his goatee said loudly.

    “Got it, close the courtyard gate, you come in.” Xu Qi’an responded.

    Old Zhang was first stunned, then showed a wary look.

    Aren’t we going to the main house? People don’t leave, they close the door, and they have to let me into the house.

    What do you want to do?

    Old Zhang didn’t take any notice and exited the small courtyard without moving.

    The last time the servant was called into the bath room and inexplicably fainted, Old Zhang still remembered it.

    Xu Qi’an walked out of the house and saw that Old Zhang was no longer there.

    He also wanted to carry Old Zhang over the wall, saving him from having to make a detour back.

    Leaping over the high wall, he headed towards the front hall; the fact that Second Uncle had ordered someone to come and call out to him meant that the guest who had come to the mansion was more than likely related to him.

    Coming to the front hall, a yellow dress appeared in sight, it was Chu Caiwei who had not seen for a long time.

    Long pale yellow dress, bouffant hair.

    A buckskin pouch is tied around her waist, an octagonal feng shui disk is suspended, and her almond eyes are clear and bright.

    “Why did you come to my home.” Xu Qi’an was surprised.

    Chu Caiwei was sitting in the main seat with her second uncle by her side, she was eating a large bag of Gui Yue Lou’s excellent pastries, slowly sipping a mouthful of tea and swallowing her food, saying:

    “If you don’t go to the Si Tian Supervisor, the next one to come will be Senior Brother Song.”

    Xu Qi’an came to a sudden realization, remembering that he indeed hadn’t fulfilled his promise yet.

    The matter of Zhou Li has been resolved, and the promised periodic table of the elements has not been delivered to the Secretary of State so far.

    The main thing is, at first, concerned about whether Squire Zhou had fallen, and then was called by the beaters to the Yamen for a public execution.

    He then became an honorary gong and began a life as a black and white social animal.

    The matter of the Divine Constabulary, forget, Xu Qi’an swears to God, never is he white whoring habit.

    “Some other day, some other day I’ll go.” Xu Qi’an said.

    “You can’t have prepared nothing.” Chu Caiwei questioned.

    “I’m sure I’m ready.”

    Chu Caiwei’s large kaziran eyes flashed clear, “You’re lying.”

    “….”

    “Elder Brother Song said that after being in arrears for so long, you’ll have to pay it back with interest. The alchemy knowledge you wrote in the Blue Book is a bit esoteric, and the alchemists of the Si Tian Supervisor couldn’t grasp it for a while.” Chu Caiwei ate a piece of pastry:

    “It’s the end of the year, and Senior Brother Song would like you to make a trip to the Si Tian Supervisor to give lectures to the alchemists of the Sixth Grade, as well as the warlocks under the Sixth Grade.”

    “Fine!” Xu Qi’an nodded, it was only natural to repay a debt, “But I need to prepare for half an hour.”

    Chu Caiwei smiled with her eyebrows, “I’ll supervise you.”

    After saying that, in a good mood, she said towards Xu Suoyin, who was standing by the side with longing shining in her big eyes, “Little sister, do you want to eat elder sister’s pastries?”

    Xu Zhongyin pecked her head.

    “Then I’ll give you some.” Chu Caiwei bounced around, her skirt flying as she followed Xu Qi’an.

    This child has been coveting her pastries, wolf, Chu Caiwei originally did not want to give her to eat, but Xu Qi’an promised so painfully, she was in a good mood, anyway, a small a waif, can not eat much.

    When the two arrived at Xu Qi’an’s small courtyard, Chu Caiwei held the door, crossed one leg, and probed the kitchen.

    “You said the other day that you were going to make me something good to eat.”

    “…. Next time.” Xu Qi Min said, “How the hell do you even remember?

    Chu Caiwei was not happy, puffed out her cheeks, and her already sweet and lovely goose egg face, like a small cage, was very cute.

    It doesn’t matter if you’re a disciple of Supervisor Zheng …. This girl I can …. Xu Qi’an was a bit stunned.

    In these beauties he has seen, each has its own characteristics, the rich and beautiful aunt, the clear and elegant sister, the appearance of the big girl is actually inside the charming and sentimental flower girl, and Chu Caiwei is the most adorable and sweetest girl.

    “I’ll give it to you below when I make a low-profile version of chicken essence.” Xu Qi’an said.

    Half an hour later, Xu Qi’an finished his manuscript and returned to the front hall of the main mansion in company with the wide-eyed beauty.

    Xu Lingyin sat in the chair that Chu Caiwei had just sat in, her two little short legs hanging breathlessly in the air, her little belly rounded.

    “…..” Chu Caiwei slowly grew her mouth and stared at the empty table.

    Where are my pastries? Where’s the pastry I bought for two taels of silver?

    What about a big bag of pastries!

    There were tears flashing in Chu Caiwei’s eyes.

    “Thank you sister, the pastries are delicious.” Xu Suoyin burped and thanked her politely.

    The wide-eyed beauty was dumbfounded, stared hatefully at the small belly of the eye, and followed Xu Qi’an away with an aggrieved face.

    The horse’s hooves clattered, and Xu Qi’an looked sideways at Chu Caiwei, who was upside down and upside down on the horse’s back, her pink cheeks bulging.

    “Are you ashamed, my sister just ate some of your pastries and got angry like this.” Xu Qi’an sneered.

    Chu Caiwei twisted her waist, “I’m going to save it for when I listen to your lecture.”

    Xu Qi’an thought for a moment, “Isn’t it just pastries, I’ll buy them for you, a few dollars.”

    Chu Caiwei smiled, “Two taels of silver.”

    “Don’t let Senior Brother Song wait in a hurry, Hei, Hei ….”

    Horses, run the fuck up.

    Chu Caiwei rolled her eyes and smiled as she steered her horse to follow.

    ….

    Szeto.

    Xu Qi’an had just stepped into the Stargazer Building when he received a warm welcome from the whites, and in one breath, he went up to the seventh floor to meet the alchemists, mainly Song Qing.

    “You can finally come, if you don’t come I’ll personally go to your mansion.” Song Qing stared at the two dark circles under her eyes, a look of overindulgence.

    He was displeased with Xu Qi’an’s delay.

    He violated the “open and honest” principle of being a human being and did bad things for him, but he waited and waited and waited, but he couldn’t come.

    “Things have been a bit much lately.” Xu Qi’an drew out the manuscript in his arms, “Isn’t this coming, how about Senior Brother Song’s recent research on grafting.”

    “Grass grafting will have to wait until next spring, and my main research is in animals. You wait ….” Song Qing was energized when he said this, hurriedly ran away, and in a few moments, came back with a manuscript.

    “Here’s my latest grafting idea, I heard you joined the Mockingbird, find me a death row inmate.”

    When Xu Qi’an looked at it, it was a centaur, and the drawing was not bad.

    He arched his hand toward Song Qing, “We’ll talk about this later, I’m going to redeem my promise now.”

    Xu Qi’an didn’t want to be slapped to death by Supervisor Zheng.

    “Senior Brother Song Qing’s alchemy is obviously going askew ah …. I’ll have to use my deep knowledge of chemistry to break him straight.”

    The teaching location was chosen to be in the lobby on the seventh floor.

    The white-clad warlocks moved their cases and sat like students. From the ninth to the sixth rank, there were forty-six in total, not including the white coats who were in the field at the moment.

    Xu Qi’an knew that what they were craving for was actually his theoretical knowledge of chemistry. When it came to hands-on ability, every Sixth Grade Alchemist could hang him.

    “I have a premonition that after this lecture, my status in the Sitian Supervisory Authority will rise once again. When I copy poems to please the great Confucian scholars of the Cloud Deer Academy and hold on to Father Wei’s thighs, will I be able to walk sideways in the capital in the near future?”

    Xu Qi’an’s heart was on fire.

    With these three forces backing him up, as long as he didn’t do anything treasonous, he was as steady as an old dog.

    O Erlang, Big Brother still loves you and has already paved the way for your path to the position of chief minister.

    And you’re too stingy to give big brother a promise.

    Xu Qi’an swept past the white-clad warlocks, “Gentlemen, what do you know about alchemy? Let’s talk about alchemy before we start the lesson.”

    …..

    Two luxurious carriages drove up and stopped outside the Stargazer Building.

    Yang Yan, who acted as a coachman, jumped off the carriage, took out a small wooden stool, and welcomed Wei Yuan down in the carriage.

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

    In another carriage made of golden nanmu, a woman with a gorgeous long dress came down, she was tall and had a stunning appearance, her eyes were cold and her pretty face was plain, as if she was a unique woman who had been left alone in the world.

    The breeze is fresh, and the posture between the walks can only be imagined and not described.

    “Princess!” Wei Yuan bowed respectfully.

    The two righteous sons saluted likewise.

    “Lord Wei is also here to find the Supervisor?” The Princess lightly laughed, and it was hard to hide her noble temperament between her brows.

    “Yes.” Wei Yuan sighed, “Within the territory of Taikang County, saltpeter mines were discovered, but they have been collected and emptied, suspected to be the work of the remaining members of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom. I suspect that there are still demons lurking in the capital, and I would like to ask the Supervisor to open the eyes of heaven and search out the demons.”

    As for the information about the Earth Sect and the Earth Book Fragment, Wei Yuan had no intention of telling the Elder Princess.

    A trespasser is a snake in the grass and will not make his ambush public in advance.

    But just the news of the remaining members of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom made the Princess look serious, so a sense of majesty came out of her cool beauty.

    “Where is the eldest princess?” Wei Yuan asked.

    “I came to find Caiwei.” The eldest princess replied, as she seemed to casually ask, “Does Duke Wei think that the death of Uncle Ping Yuan is related to the demon race?”

    Wei Yuan shook his head, “Ping Yuan Bo can’t have anything to do with the demon race, he doesn’t have that value.”

    Both parties entered the Stargazer Building in company, and were shocked to find that the building was empty, and no one came to greet them.

    The same is true for the second and third floors.

    The Rapunzel frowned and said, “What is this happening to the Divine Constabulary?”

    Wei Yuan sulked.

    Continuing his ascent, he reached the fifth floor and finally saw a busy white man.

    That white coat saw Wei Yuan and the Eldest Princess and came over to salute without slowing down.

    The Rapunzel asked, “Since this palace entered the building, up to this point, you are the only one I have seen. What has happened to the Secretary of Heaven.”

    White clothes heard, angry: “I also do not want to see the eldest princess …. Ah no, I also want to go to the seventh floor, but I still have things left to do, my senior brothers won’t let me go, I’m so angry, it’s simply inappropriate.”

    After he finished his rant, he explained, “Eunuch Xu is holding a lecture on the seventh floor to impart knowledge of alchemy, and the senior brothers have all gone to listen to the lecture.”
