Luo Guan's heart sank. His intuition told him that there must be secrets hidden in the royal ancestral temple. But today, in full view of everyone, he had no way to investigate. He could only wait for the sacrifice process to be completed and leave with the old emperor.
First there was a banquet, and then there was a sacrifice at the Ancestral Temple. The old emperor looked tired and obviously lacked energy. "Dean Luo, I feel a little unwell, so I will go back to the palace to rest first."
"Your Majesty, you will go on your own." Luo Guan nodded and watched the emperor Luan Jia leave. At this time, he was standing on the high platform of the Ancestral Temple, overlooking the imperial palace.
Soon, a scorched black mark appeared in his sight. For some reason, when he saw this place, his heart suddenly contracted and he felt a little uneasy. It seemed that when he looked at this place, there was also a pair of eyes staring at him.
Luo Guan took another look, and under the respectful guidance of the palace people, he stepped down the stone steps and boarded the carriage, heading out of the imperial palace.
"Yunshan."
Outside the carriage, Yunshan, who was riding on a horse, bowed and said, "What are the orders from the dean?"
"There is a burning area north of the Imperial Ancestral Temple in the Imperial Palace. Please order someone to investigate and find out how it was caused." Luo Guan paused for a moment, "Be more cautious about this matter."
Yunshan's expression slightly condensed, "Yes, I understand."
Returning to Emperor Wu, Luo Guan dealt with a few things first, and then entered the back mountain. On the way to the sword tower, he always felt that he had forgotten something.
By the way, Hu Shanshan!
This girl was shameless and insisted on staying in Diwu. After being thrown into the zoo by him, he ignored her and ignored her.
How much is a bit too much.
We changed our route to the zoo, and as soon as we arrived, we saw Hu Shanshan's figure from a distance. This girl had changed out of a long skirt and wore a coarse coat and trousers. She was pushing a cart of meat and distributing it in the zoo.
The white tiger walked leisurely, following behind her, growling from time to time, urging her to work hard. After finally distributing all the meat, Hu Shanshan saw Luo Guan standing outside the zoo.
Eyes glaring Yuan, she rushed over with a "ouch" and hugged Luo Guan without letting go, "Cousin! I was wrong, cousin, for sending me home. You'd better have someone take me home!"
Hu Shanshan has been pampered since she was a child. She has never suffered much, let alone this kind of physical work. She burst into tears while talking.
This actually made Luo Guan a little embarrassed, "Ahem, aren't you afraid of being forced into marriage again when you go home?"
Hu Shanshan's eyes widened, her whole body felt numb, and her face looked lifeless.
The white tiger came over, lay down on the ground submissively, and wagged its tail to ask for credit.
It is really supervising Hu Shanshan very seriously. This girl has not succeeded in being lazy even once these days.
The old people in the zoo came out and bowed, "I'll pay my respects to the director."
Hu Shanshan raised her head suddenly, "Dean...you have become the dean..." Seeing Luo Guan nodding, her tears suddenly became more and more intense.
Think about it, the cousin of the dignified Dean Diwu, his own cousin!
To be reduced to doing hard labor in the Imperial Martial Arts and being bullied by a tiger all day long cannot be described as "miserable".
"Thank you for taking care of this girl during this time. I will take her away today." Luo Guan pulled her away. Hu Shanshan did not resist, she just kept crying silently. The sorrow in her eyes was almost overwhelming.
die.
Luo Guan sneered, "Stop that expression. We have been fighting since childhood, and I still don't understand you? Otherwise, I will turn around and send you back. Bai Hu will be reluctant to see you leave."
"Don't!" Hu Shanshan wiped her tears and changed her face in a second, "Cousin, you are the best. Cousin, I was young and ignorant in the past. Don't be as knowledgeable as me."
"cough……
Well, cousin, where are you going to take me? What I said just now was just for fun. It is impossible to go home. Even if my legs are broken, I will crawl out!"
Luo Guan let out a "hum" and knew that what you just said was all pretending. As expected, women are all born actors.
He glanced at her and said, "I'll find you a teacher. Since you're staying in Imperial Martial Arts, you have to learn something." He paused and said, "But I'm warning you, just study hard and don't make a mess.
Otherwise, I will send you away immediately!"
Hu Shanshan blushed and glanced at him secretly, "...What, that was all because I was ignorant when I was a child...I don't like that a long time ago...Oh, you are so annoying. Things that happened so many years ago are always on my mind."
Speaking of words, if it hadn’t been like this, I wouldn’t have been against you since I was a child.”
"I'm annoyed?"
"No, no, cousin, you're the best. My cousin said something wrong. You sir, please don't be the same as me."
"You are smart."
Cheng Xian hurried over, and when she saw Hu Shanshan, she blinked and understood, "You want me to take care of your cousin?"
Luo Guan gave a thumbs up, "Sister Cheng is smart, so I'll get straight to the point. This girl's cultivation aptitude is average, so I wouldn't trust her if she was handed over to someone else, so I'll ask you to take care of her."
The dean's cousin is going to become a disciple in the Imperial Martial Arts School. As soon as the news spreads, a large group of people will flock to her. But that is not what Luo Guan wants, and he does not want Hu Shanshan to be taken advantage of by people with ulterior motives.
.??.
After much deliberation, it was most appropriate to leave it to Cheng Xian. Based on his relationship with the Cheng family, they would not "superfluous things".
The call of Sister Cheng made Cheng Xian smile, "Don't worry, I'll leave her to you. I'll keep a closer eye on her on weekdays and won't let her run around. Don't worry."
Luo Guan called Hu Shanshan over and introduced her After giving it to Cheng Xian, he gave a few more instructions and turned to leave.
Nowadays, he really doesn't have enough time and wishes he could just practice in the sword tower all the time.
"Cousin!" Hu Shanshan shouted, her expression a little uneasy, "I can come to you if I need anything in the future, right?"
This time, the uneasiness she showed was genuine.
Luo Guan nodded, "Of course, if you have anything to do, come to the back mountain..." He suddenly thought that he was mostly practicing in the sword tower, and even the senior leaders of the academy could not see him easily, let alone Hu Shanshan.
After a brief pause, he turned over his hand and took out an Imperial Martial Identity Tag, "I'll give this to you. If anything happens, you can send me a message directly."
There are not many tokens like this in Imperial Martial Arts, so using it for Hu Shanshan is an exception.
"Thank you, cousin!" Hu Shanshan received the token and smiled.
Looking at Luo Guan's back and then at the token in Hu Shanshan's hand, Cheng Xian smiled and said, "Shanshan, right? Let's go, I will arrange a place for you first."
"In addition, regarding your identity, it is best not to tell others easily, so as not to create complications? Hmm...can you understand what I mean by being a teacher?"
Hu Shanshan nodded, "My cousin is now the dean of Diwu. The teacher is afraid that someone has ulterior motives and wants to take advantage of me... Don't worry, I know."
She's not stupid, but she still feels so good. She feels like she's paying a private visit incognito? Humph! Whoever dares to offend me will report it to the dean right away. Do you believe it or not?
If Cheng Xian knew what she was thinking now, she probably wouldn't be happy.
Luo Guan returned to the sword tower, entered the ninth floor, and bowed to Shimen, "Senior, I'm back, let's continue."
Rumble——
In the darkness behind the stone gate, a shocking sword cry rang out, and the majestic sword intent roared in, drowning his figure.
