"Yan'er, have you touched any ominous objects recently, or entered some forbidden area?"
"This disciple has never come into contact with any ominous things, nor has he entered any forbidden area."
"Then have you ever practiced anything other than the techniques given to you by the sect?"
"Disciple never."
"It's strange. Can the elders in your family..."
…
Listening to Hall Master Ran asking questions one after another, Lin Yuyan, who was under the watchful eyes of the several stewards in the hall, became increasingly irritable.
It had been three quarters since she was brought to the Hall Master's Mansion.
'What if my senior brother comes to see me during this period?'
'What if senior fellow apprentice can't find me and thinks I'm not waiting for him?'
'What if senior brother thinks that I went out with other male disciples in the sect?'
'How could it be, senior brother, Yan'er will always only love you? Yan'er also knows that senior brother, you only love Yan'er. Whenever she thinks of the explicit words in the letter, Yan'er can't sleep well all night long.
'
Recalling that her senior brother always told her to practice hard at the end of his letters, Lin Yuyan knew very well that this was his senior brother telling her that as long as her cultivation level caught up with his, they would get married immediately.
Otherwise, why would you remind her in every letter?
'Senior brother, Yan'er already understands your thoughts. Just wait, Yan'er will go back soon.'
As the longing in her heart became more and more intense, Lin Yuyan gradually began not to hear the hall master's questions. She only had one thought in her mind, and that was to go back as soon as possible.
"Yan'er, Yan'er?"
Seeing Lin Yuyan suddenly fall into silence, Hall Master Ran asked doubtfully.
But Lin Yuyan not only didn't answer her, but turned around and walked towards the door.
"Lin Yuyan, the hall master is talking to you, how can you leave without permission!?"
At this time, Protector Qin from Mo Yutang stepped forward and shouted to Lin Yuyan.
Seeing that Lin Yuyan didn't respond, Protector Qin was about to reprimand him when he saw Lin Yuyan's neck twisting as stiffly as a zombie. Before Protector Qin could make a sound in confusion, he saw Lin Yuyan suddenly opened his eyes and emitted a faint purple light.
With his eyes wide open, a voice came out of his mouth that sounded like the Nine Nether Hells.
"If you stop me again, you will die, hehehehe..."
Following Lin Yuyan's creepy laughter, an ominous aura rushed toward Protector Qin. Protector Qin instinctively wanted to use his energy to resist, but found that the spiritual energy around him had become extremely violent and could not be absorbed at all.
in vivo.
Seeing Lin Yuyan slowly grabbing her hand towards him, Protector Qin, whose cultivation was far superior to Lin Yuyan's, stepped back in horror.
Hall Master Ran was also completely stunned. Lin Yuyan could be said to be her favorite disciple in the past two years. She was beautiful, quiet, gentle, extremely talented in cultivation, and loved calligraphy as much as she did. She recently wrote
A font was created that amazed her.
But the Lin Yuyan in front of her has nothing to do with Wen Jing and Wan Shun. She is like a messenger from hell, exuding a frightening aura.
Even she instinctively felt the emotion of never getting close to her.
"Stop her!"
Although she was very frightened by the ominous aura constantly exuding from Lin Yuyan, as the leader of the Guixin Sect, she could never let such a dangerous person leave like this.
Protector Qin, who had been scared back just now, gritted his teeth and pulled out the Rainbow Sword from his waist.
"No! Don't hurt her!" Hall Master Ran shouted quickly: "I'm afraid Yan'er has come into contact with something dangerous. We just need to remove the curse on her."
After saying that, Hall Master Ran jumped directly in front of Lin Yuyan and said in a soft voice: "Yan'er, calm down, no one here will hurt you."
Lin Yuyan ignored her and just continued walking towards the door.
Feeling the ominous aura slowly calming down on Lin Yuyan's body, Hall Master Ran decided not to irritate her anymore and said to the others: "Qiong Lan, go tell the sect leader about this matter, Ningxuan, you go find Hall Master Wan
, told him that something dangerous was found in the sect."
"Yes." After receiving the order, the two people immediately flew out of the window and ran in two directions.
After waving to the remaining people, Hall Master Ran carefully followed Lin Yuyan out of the door. She decided to stabilize the situation without irritating her, otherwise the situation would develop in the worst direction.
On the other side, on Tianyun Peak, Jiang Beiran was still discussing the county reform with several senior officials of the sect. Listening to the several opinions put forward by the three people, Jiang Beiran couldn't help but sigh that his sect leader really knew how to choose people. These three
The senior management are not just freeloaders, and the suggestions they make are very informative.
It can be said that Jiang Beiran accepted the opinions of these sect leaders with an open mind. After all, his reform plan completely copied the era he lived in, and some details would definitely collide with the ideas of the indigenous people in this world.
Jiang Beiran had no intention of making drastic changes from the beginning. He brought out these plans just to make his "cake" more delicious, otherwise how could he win the support of the sect leader.
"Bei Ran, you seem to be very interested in papermaking and printing. Will you use it heavily in your future plans?"
There is paper in this world, but the technology is not very mature yet. The paper and books produced are very limited, and they are only enough to supply the upper class. It is basically impossible for the people at the bottom to enjoy the convenience of paper.
As a person in the 21st century, Jiang Beiran understands the importance of delivering information quickly.
It can be said that from carapace to bamboo slips, bamboo slips to paper, the birth of these three things directly led to three huge changes in the ancient political system, not to mention the Internet, which was truly earth-shaking.
Therefore, after Jiang Beiran came to the throne, he has been recruiting papermaking experts from the private sector, hoping to pool their wisdom and improve papermaking technology as soon as possible.
Every time he saw those craftsmen trying and failing with various raw materials and methods, Jiang Beiran regretted that he didn't take a closer look at Cai Lun's life and see how this big man improved papermaking.
However, Jiang Beiran, who is proficient in various skills, also has strong hands-on ability.
Compared with those old papermakers, his biggest advantage is that he knows there is better paper, so he is not afraid of failure at all.
This is just like building a nuclear bomb. The hardest part is not building a nuclear bomb, but not knowing whether it can be built.
"Yes, the paper has plans for the future..."
"Report to the sect master, Qin Qionglan, the protector of Mo Yutang outside the door, has something important to ask for."
While Jiang Beiran was describing the function of paper, the gatekeeper Moman trotted to the door to report.
Lu Yinlong, who was sitting in the host's seat, nodded after hearing this and said, "Let her go to the side hall."
"yes!"
After hearing this, Mo Man turned around and ran out.
Standing up, Lu Yinlong looked at Jiang Beiran and the others and said, "Then you continue to discuss here. I will come back as soon as I go."
Just as Jiang Beiran was about to say yes, he saw two options pop up.
[Option 1: Continue to stay here to discuss. Completion reward: Zhiwutu (top grade Xuan level)]
[Option 2: Follow Lu Yinlong out. Completion reward: Random basic attribute point +1]
'Huh!? Why are you involved in me again?'
Jiang Beiran, who felt a little inexplicable, recalled what he had said so full of words just now.
'Mo Yutang Dharma Protector is asking for an audience... Damn, it's not because of that woman Lin Yuyan, is it?'
But when I think about it, I feel strange. If Lin Yuyan really caused the problem, then he should stay away now. Why does the system still want him to take the initiative to get involved?
Although he couldn't figure out why this happened, Jiang Beiran still chose the second choice, cupped his hands towards Lu Yinlong and said, "Sect Master, my disciple will accompany you there."
Lu Yinlong, who was about to walk out, paused, turned around and looked at Jiang Beiran with a surprised look on his face and said, "You want to go with me?"
"Yes." Jiang Beiran cupped his hands again.
After hearing Jiang Beiran's confirmation, Lu Yinlong, who thought he knew Jiang Beiran quite well, was a little confused.
'How can being an emperor change people so much? This guy who keeps to himself is actually meddling in other people's business?'
Looking at Jiang Beiran strangely again, Lu Yinlong nodded: "Then you can go with me."
"Thank you, Master."
Seeing that the option rewards hadn't popped up yet, Jiang Beiran knew that there should be other follow-ups, and felt that this matter was not simple.
Following Lu Yinlong, he came to the side hall. After a while, Protector Qin was brought over by Moman.
"Meet the sect master." Qin Qionglan raised her head after saluting Lu Yinlong, and found that there was a person she had never seen standing behind the sect master, and he was dressed very gorgeously.
But Qin Qionglan had no intention of caring about this at this moment, and quickly told the sect leader exactly what happened in Mo Yutang.
When he heard "a disciple in the hall", Jiang Beiran felt that it must be Lin Yuyan who didn't run away.
'When did this woman become so strong? Even the master of Mo Yutang couldn't suppress her, so she came to seek help from the master?'
Lu Yinlong also reacted very strongly when he heard the words "big and dangerous thing", but his reaction was not that he was worried about the big and dangerous thing, but his expression was as if the thunder he planted had exploded inexplicably.
"Are they still in Mo Yutang?"
"It should still be there."
"Then it won't be too late, I'll go and have a look with you."
"Thank you, Master!"
Before setting off, Lu Yinlong glanced at Jiang Beiran and said, "Do you want to continue with us?"
Although Jiang Beiran was thinking "No, no," in his heart, the option reward did not jump, so he could only continue to hand it over and said: "Please take me for a ride, Master."
"You have really changed..." Nodding slightly, Lu Yinlong grabbed Jiang Beiran and flew out of Qiyun Peak with Protector Qin.
Arriving at Mo Yutang at an extremely fast speed, Lu Yinlong sensed the ominous aura without Qin Qionglan opening his mouth, and chased after him with Jiang Beiran.
In the Yaohua Garden, Hall Master Ran, who was carefully following Lin Yuyan, was thinking about Lin Yuyan's route, and finally realized that she seemed to be heading towards her disciple's residence.
"She wants to go back?" Hall Master Ran was a little worried, fearing that the dangerous thing was placed in Lin Yuyan's house. If that was the case, then even she would not be sure to handle the matter.
And just when she was hesitating whether to stop Lin Yuyan forcefully, she suddenly felt a powerful aura flying towards her.
Hall Master Ran breathed a sigh of relief when he knew that it was the sect master who had arrived, finally letting go of the worries in his heart.
The next moment, Lu Yinlong and Jiang Beiran landed next to Hall Master Ran.
"Meet the sect leader." Hall Master Ran saluted immediately.
"Thank you." After Lu Yinlong said, he let go of Jiang Beiran and looked at Lin Yuyan. At the same time, Lin Yuyan's eyes were also looking in his direction.
‘Senior brother!?’
Lin Yuyan did not shout out loud due to her long-term habit, but cheered in her heart.
'It turns out that senior brother came back to find the sect leader. That's right. Senior brother is the emperor. The reason for coming back must be that he has something to discuss with the sect leader. Oh! I really suspected that my husband was looking for those wild women. It's really inappropriate.
Got it!'
In an instant, Lin Yuyan's eyes regained clarity. She looked at the hall master who was facing a formidable enemy and the frowning sect master and saluted, "See you, sect master."
'Um???'
Feeling that the ominous aura on Lin Yuyan's body disappeared instantly, Hall Master Ran was confused again.
'what on earth is it!?'
Hall Master Ran, who couldn't figure it out, could only attribute this matter to the sect master, and saluted directly: "The sect leader has incredible magical powers, and just by showing up, the evil creatures that he suppressed do not dare to do evil."
Lu Yinlong was also confused. When he heard about this incident, he knew that this ominous atmosphere would be very troublesome, and he also knew that this matter would be extremely troublesome.
It's not that this energy is strong, but it's so evil that it can't be judged based on cultivation.
He originally thought that he would have to use some means to solve the problem, but he didn't expect that the ominous atmosphere dissipated as soon as he landed.
'Is this girl really afraid of me?'
After hearing Hall Master Ran's words of admiration, Lu Yinlong waved his hands and said: "This matter is a bit strange. Please step aside first and I will ask you a few more questions."
"Yes." Holding a fist towards the sect leader, Hall Master Ran quickly left the scene.
Then Lu Yinlong looked at Jiang Beiran and said, "You should retreat a little further first. There is some danger here. I will go find you after it is dealt with."
[Optional mission completed, reward: Spirit +1]
Seeing the option reward pop up, Jiang Beiran decisively raised his hand and said: "Yes."
After saying that, he turned around and ran away without any pause.
'Um?'
This made Lu Yinlong confused again.
He originally thought that Jiang Beiran, who was extremely active today, would forcefully want to stay and help find a solution together, but unexpectedly he ran away like this...
'This kid...why is he coming in fits and starts?'
Seeing her senior brother leaving quickly, Lin Yuyan knew that she had accidentally gotten into trouble again. She secretly cursed herself for not living up to expectations, then cupped her hands towards Lu Yinlong and said, "Uncle Lu, I'm really sorry, I couldn't control it for a moment."
"It doesn't matter, as long as you're fine, otherwise I don't know how to explain it to your father."
"Uncle Lu...please don't drive me away, okay? I promise it's just this once and I won't do it again."
"Haven't you been doing well these past few years? Why can't you suddenly lose control?"
"I encountered some troublesome things, but I woke up as soon as you came, Uncle Lu, so please don't worry, Uncle Lu, I'm fine."
"That's fine, but you'd better go back and tell your father, otherwise..."
"Yes, I understand. I will definitely let dad give you an explanation."
"It's not that serious, it's just..."
"Thank you, Uncle Lu~I'll write a letter to dad right away~" After saying that, Lin Yuyan waved and left.
‘None of these... are trouble-free.’ Lu Yinlong sighed and shook his head.
