Chapter 93 – No. 3 is worthy of being a reader

There is such a good thing …. Xu Qi’an was stunned, thinking, “Lord Supervisor, you won’t also pull out a mirror and then say to me: if you are a brother, join the Tiandi Association!

While he was still frozen, he suddenly heard a cracking sound in his ears and looked in the direction of the stairs.

A black and a gold two iron lumps shot up, whistling and skimming between the two golden gongs and Xu Qi’an, flying towards Supervisor Zheng.

The two iron lumps melted in flight, turning into brightly colored iron slurry and splashing water at the Supervisor Zheng.

The two strands of iron mingled together, outlining the outline of the long blade.

“Snort.”

Misty vapor was born out of thin air, hardcore quenching. When it fell into the Supervisor’s hands, it was already the embryo of a long knife.

The Supervisor was holding the embryo of the blade, and with his other hand, he wiped at the blade, and a long, dark golden blade came into being, with an internalized color and a sharp blade.

Supervisor Zheng flexed his fingers and this knife embryo flew and spun and landed in front of Xu Qi’an, slicing into the lapis lazuli board like tofu.

The two golden gongs who didn’t use the knife stared at the long dark golden knife with fiery eyes.

It’s alchemy?

It’s clearly magic, shouldn’t alchemy be about extracting and separating substances in jars and bottles?

Xu Qi’an’s three views were strongly impacted.

Shocked, Xu Qi’an realized that Supervisor Zhenglu was merely giving a gift with this hand? No, he’s slapping me in the face.

He’s telling me, lad, you know nothing about alchemy ….

The appearance of this sword was somewhere between the tang and taijutsu of the previous life, curvier than the tang and straighter than the taijutsu.

The blade is long and slender, up to four feet, and is understatedly luxurious and introspective, yet cool.

“Don’t thank Supervisor Zheng yet.” Wei Qingyi said.

“Thank you, Mr. Superintendent.”

Pressing down the joy in his heart, Xu Qi’an took off his robe, wrapped it around the blade, and carried it in his hand.

This knife is so sharp that it can easily hurt people and oneself.

“With this blade, my battle prowess rises by at least one step, no, two steps.” Xu Qi’an was secretly excited.

Wei Yuan bowed toward the Supervisor and led three of his men out of the Sitian Supervisor.

As he descended the stairs, Xu Qi’an encountered Chu Caiwei and the eldest princess ascending the stairs, seemingly to go up to the Bagua Terrace.

Under the watchful eyes of Wei Yuan and the Eldest Princess and the others, he pulled Chu Caiwei’s lower hand and thumped to the side.

“Are you free tonight, I’ll treat you to dinner at Gui Yue Lou.” Xu Qi’an proposed an invitation for a date.

Who knows that foodie Chu Caiwei refused in one bite, “Later to enter the Imperial City, rest in the Princess’s residence today.”

The Rapunzel’s Mansion had an endless supply of pastries and delicacies, and although the meals at Gui Yue Lou were delicious, how could they be compared to the Imperial City’s cooks.

This way …. Tomorrow and the next two days will be on night duty, and the day after that is the day the emperor will pay homage to his ancestors, and the night watchman will be responsible for security …. Xu Qi’an thought about it, then said, “Then after His Majesty’s ancestor sacrifice, come to my house for dinner.”

He thought, why don’t we just make a simple version of chicken essence, Gui Yue Lou’s consumption is still a bit expensive.

“Do you lay noodles for me to eat.” Chu Caiwei remembered.

“Uh-huh.”

“Uh-huh.” She nodded back.

Xu Qi’an revealed a smile, “jing waiting for good yin.”

The two separated, Chu Caiwei led the Eldest Princess up the stairs, Xu Qi’an descended the stairs along with Wei Yuan, Xu Qi’an looked up and happened to see the Eldest Princess looking down at him.

The two of them met their gazes, Xu Qi’an grinned, the Rapunzel’s face was expressionless, and when she couldn’t see Xu Qi’an’s silhouette, she gently skimmed her lips.

Along the way, he came across a white-robed man, and Xu Qi’an handed him the Black Gold Blade, instructing the other party to give it to Senior Brother Song to cast the handle, and that he would be coming over to pick it up tomorrow.

After exiting the Stargazer Building, Wei Yuan entered the carriage, and Yang Yan glanced at Xu Qi’an and beckoned:

“Can you drive?”

Xu Qi’an shook his head, decent people who drive.

Yang Yan nodded and handed the horse’s reins over to him, entering the carriage himself.

“???” Xu Qi’an froze for a moment before responding.

The face-palmed leader is trying to groom him.

……

Bagua Terrace.

Chu Caiwei sat on the edge of the gossip platform, her feet in small leather boots swaying in the air.

Carrying a bag of preserves in her arms, she ate them with gusto.

The Rapunzel stood at the edge, her skirt flying, fluttering like a fairy.

“Supervisor Zheng, this palace has always had a question.” The Rapunzel’s voice was cold and pleasant.

“Princess, please speak.” The old man of the Supervisor raised his wine cup, his gaze always looking into the distance.

“The Human Sect moved into the Imperial City, compelled Father to practice monasticism, and ignored the government for nineteen years. Banditry in Yunzhou is difficult to quell, and disasters are frequent everywhere. The imperial court’s control over the southern border is getting weaker and weaker, the northern ministries are wolfish, and the Da Feng is in trouble both internally and externally.” The eldest princess sighed, “What are you waiting for?”

For a long time no one answered, the Rapunzel looked back, the supervisor was squinting and falling asleep.

Chu Caiwei didn’t have the good sense to say, “Princess, you don’t pay attention to this bad old man, a big age, can live a few years is a few years.”

“….” Rapunzel glanced at her, there was only one female disciple in the Sitian Supervisor, everyone favored her, and she was the only one who dared to talk about the Supervisor Zheng like that.

“You know that gong well?” Rapunzel changed the subject.

“Well nah,” Chu Caiwei squinted and smiled, her crescent moon eyes, “Xu Ningyan is a talented person and speaks well, I find him quite interesting.”

…..

Permaculture.

Master Everest, who had been waiting quietly for two days in the neighboring households, finally waited for the anomaly.

A small official of the ninth rank in green robes embroidered with quails led a group of craftsmen into the health hall, and it wasn’t long before the sound of banging came from inside, continuing until dusk.

Master Hengyuan waited until nighttime to make sure that there were no ambushing night watchmen or white coats of the Divine Constabulary in the vicinity, and then he left the civil household and entered the Yangsheng Hall to check it out.

He was surprised to find that the door of the health hall had been replaced with a new one, the potholed floor had been paved with lapis lazuli slabs, and the aged and weathered stone tables and benches had been replaced with new ones.

Doors, windows, eaves, and various appliances have been repaired or simply updated.

The stout “Lu Zhishen” stood in the yard and was silent for a long time.

The old mandarin who managed the health hall was a light sleeper and woke up when he heard the commotion and came out with a lantern to check it out.

“Master Hengyuan, you’re back?” The old official was surprised for a moment and said:

“You don’t need to go and make money, the court has just allocated money to make up for the arrears of silver from previous years, and in the afternoon they sent craftsmen to repair the courtyard.”

“Appropriation?” Master Everest whispered.

“Yes, two hundred taels of silver.” The old official said with relief, “The children and old people in the courtyard, they have expenses for the coming year, I’m planning to match each of them with a set of winter clothes tomorrow. Hey, how timely, otherwise many of the old companions wouldn’t have survived the winter.”

…..

Xu Qi An was awakened in the middle of the night, and in his heart, he was annoyed for a while, saying that which fucking psychopath was in the water group in the middle of the night.

He drew out the mirror under his pillow, went to the table and lit the candle, and glanced at the message.

[VI: No. 1, No. 3, did you find my hiding place?]

[2: Dead bald, not sleeping in the middle of the night, what’s all the noise about.]

Number Two was grumpy and seemed to have been awakened by the noise.

[Nine: What happened.]

Taoist Master Jinlian bubbled up and alerted the members of the Tiandi Association that something must have happened to Number Six.

Number One didn’t say anything and should have been peering at the screen again.

Xu Qi’an couldn’t fathom the situation and likewise didn’t open his mouth.

[VI: Heh, I didn’t expect the hiding place to be exposed so soon, it doesn’t hurt to say, I’m in the East Side of the health hall I sent all the children I saved here.

The place has been meticulously maintained by a few old mandarins who also have no place to go, and a bunch of homeless kids, widows and orphans.

But today, the court suddenly remembered this place and sent people to repair the courtyard and make up for the arrears of silver in previous years. The old officials had been to the Ministry of Revenue a few times before, and all of them were thrown out.

I know that it is impossible to have silver allocated without a special reason].

If it had been a night watchman who had found him, Number Six wouldn’t have been surprised. But the fact that Number One and Three were able to find out where he was hiding so quickly surprised Lu.

[I: Not me.]

Number One denied it instantly.

If it wasn’t number one, then there was only number three, number three was worthy of being a reader from Yunlu Academy, he had found out the root of number six because of Ping Yuan Bo’s case, but didn’t take any unfavorable action against number six, instead, he helped behind the scenes in silence.

Number three is no less of a reader.

Some admiration rose in the hearts of the members of the Heaven and Earth Association, recognizing Number Three’s character more and more.

[Two: Three are you done.]

…. It’s not me, I don’t have it, don’t lift me up. Xu Qi’an stays silent.

If I don’t explain it, I’ll take it as a tacit admission. If people find out the truth afterward, I’ll be able to say the same thing: I didn’t admit it, either!

In addition, Xu Qi’an thought of something, the day before yesterday he had sold number six to Wei Yuan, with Wei Yuan’s means, based on the clues he had provided, it wouldn’t be hard to find out the location of number six.

Six saved so many children. How will they be housed?

In Xu Qi’an’s place, his first choice would definitely be to check the health halls in various parts of the capital.

Then again, according to Six, who could make the imperial court other than Wei Yuan.

Of course, Number One is capable of that, but he or she just denied it.

The murderer of Ping Yuan Bo was found but not apprehended; instead, he made up for the arrears of silver owed to the Sanatorium and sent people to repair the courtyard.

“Wei Yuan ….” In the dim candlelight, Xu Qi’an whispered.
