Seeing Qu Yangze's distressed look, Jiang Beiran smiled and said, "You think everyone has something to do, but you are the only one who stays here?"
Qu Yangze, who was seen through at a glance, first stared in surprise, then nodded and said: "Well... how about you let me go back to the ancient ruins?"
"Then have you ever wondered why I brought you alone with me?"
"This..." Qu Yangze thought for a moment, but still shook his head and said, "I don't know."
"Because I think you have the greatest potential, that's why I took you with me to train you."
Qu Yangze couldn't help but trembled after hearing this. He originally thought that his senior brother was keeping him with him because he was the most worried about him, but he didn't expect that the opposite was true.
‘Senior brother, it’s me who values the most?’
Extremely excited, Qu Yangze immediately stood up and saluted, saying: 'This disciple will definitely live up to Master's expectations.'
"Well, let's sit down and eat."
In fact, the reason why Jiang Beiran brought Qu Yangze with him was because the Emperor Gu was still in his body, but in this case, there was no use in telling him the truth. It would be better to drink a bowl of chicken soup, which would warm his heart and refresh his mind.
After finishing the meal, Fei Fu happened to be on top of Pan Lingfeng of Qian Tian Sect.
After walking out of Fei Mansion, Jiang Beiran heard Yan Guangqing's familiar voice before he reached the door of the central hall.
"Come in, come in, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
"It is indeed rude of me to keep Master Yan waiting for so long. Please..."
"Stop asking, hurry up, hurry up."
After Yan Guangqing finished speaking, he grabbed Jiang Beiran and walked into the inner hall.
Judging from his eager look, Jiang Beiran was basically sure that he had indeed made some important discovery.
All the way to Shadow Moon Tower, Yan Guangqing pulled Jiang Beiran to the deduction board and said, "Come, take a look."
Looking at the deduction board, Jiang Beiran discovered that Yan Guangqing had really not been idle these days, and took the layout method they had discovered before a big step forward.
After rotating the formation on the deduction board twice, Jiang Beiran raised his hands towards Yan Guangqing and said, "Sect Master Yan is worthy of being a master of this Tao. He actually cracked the true meaning of this teaching in just a few days. This junior admires him."
Although he has heard such compliments countless times, most of the people who say them cannot impress Yan Guangqing.
But when Jiang Beiran said this, Yan Guangqing felt very comfortable, heart-warmingly comfortable, because Jiang Beiran was not only very attractive to him, but was even a being that he could look up to.
Being truly admired by such a person is indeed one of the great pleasures in life.
"Hahahaha." After laughing happily for a few times, Yan Guangqing nodded and said, "Beiran's words are still pleasing to the ear, but I can only deduce it so far. You and I still need to discuss it together in the future."
After the exchange of business blows, Jiang Beiran looked at the deduction board again and asked: "Does Sect Master Yan also feel that this talisman is between the seven and eight stars after the solar term, and there is a sense of freedom that can be moved forward or backward?"
Yan Guangqing was not surprised that Jiang Beiran could see the problem at a glance, but it was precisely because he had such a superb level of formation reading that he was so willing to discuss it with him.
Otherwise, if it were those idiots from the Formation Association in the past, it would be great if he would not be angry to death, and he would be able to discuss something.
"This is indeed the trouble. For this distance, it is not natural to use the leap method, and the Dingjia method is completely unreasonable. It is really difficult to solve."
Jiang Beiran paused for a moment and said: "Although this super large formation is different from ordinary formations in most places, it is the same in that it uses the nine palaces as the framework and distributes the sixty stems and branches within it, but its overall layout is the same. The number seems to be much more than three hundred and sixty..."
"Oh?" Yan Guangqing's eyes lit up, "Why did you say that?"
"I can't explain this yet, it's just a feeling."
If other people talked about things based on their feelings, Yan Guangqing would definitely kick him out. When discussing such a rigorous matter as formations, why don't you tell me your feelings?
But Jiang Beiran said that Yan Guangqing could only admit it, because every time he felt something, it was always right.
Without exception.
"Okay, then let's deduce its games a few more times."
…
Deducing the number of games is an extremely complicated and time-consuming matter. The old man and the young man were obsessed with each other, and half a month passed. During this period, Jiang Beiran received a letter from Lin Yuyan.
The content of the letter said that her father was out on business, and she would ask other people first. If no one else knew, she would have to wait for her father to come back.
"Huh~" Jiang Beiran stretched his body, raised his head and rubbed the bridge of his nose.
In the past half month, he and Yan Guangqing had deduced more than 500 games together, but they couldn't figure it out no matter how hard they tried, and they really couldn't stand it any longer.
Yan Guangqing was not much better either. Not only was he mentally depressed, but his demeanor was also much haggard.
It looks like a programmer who works overtime for seven days in a row.
When Jiang Beiran came back to his senses, he found that half a month had passed, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
'This thing of formation is really untouchable, it's so addictive.'
After sorting out his clothes, Jiang Beiran stood up and said to Yan Guangqing: "Sect Master Yan, let's take a rest today. If we continue like this, we will all easily get into trouble."
In fact, Yan Guangqing couldn't stand it for a long time, but Jiang Beiran couldn't stand it and never offered to stop. Of course, he couldn't take the initiative to say that he couldn't do it anymore.
So when Jiang Beiran suggested taking a rest, Yan Guangqing breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
'You're finally tired, kid.'
After standing up and adjusting his robe, Yan Guangqing patted Jiang Beiran on the shoulder and said, "It is quite good to have such determination at such a young age. I will follow your wishes and rest today."
Regarding Yan Guangqing's face-saving remarks, Jiang Beiran didn't even bother to complain.
Elders, just give in.
"Thank you for your understanding, senior." He bowed his hands towards Yan Guangqing, and the two of them walked towards the outside of the tower together.
Feeling the long-lost sunshine, Jiang Beiran took a deep and comfortable breath, and then heard a familiar voice ringing in his ears.
"You two are finally willing to come out. I have been waiting here for many days."
After hearing this, Jiang Beiran immediately raised his hands in the direction of the sound and said, "Junior, please pay homage to Mrs. Yan."
After hearing this, Nie Yixin nodded and said in return: "Bei Ran doesn't have to be so polite."
At this time, Yan Guangqing stepped forward and said, "Madam, have you been waiting for a long time?"
"No." Nie Yixin said softly, "I've been waiting here for you for three days."
"Didn't you say that no one is allowed to disturb you when you are in the tower?"
"It's for your husband, isn't it? It's for your husband, isn't it? I wonder if Madam has anything important to do with me?"
"It's nothing important. I just saw that my husband hadn't come out for a long time, and I felt really uneasy physically and mentally, so I came here to wait."
After hearing this, Yan Guangqing hugged Nie Yixin into his arms and said, "Next time, just ask the servants to wait at the door. Why bother, Madam, to come and wait in person?"
Nie Yixin, who was hugged, immediately said shyly: "Master, Bei Ran is still here."
"You are here, you are not an outsider. Besides, if I hug my wife, what does it have to do with others."
After listening to this, Jiang Beiran said at the right time: "You two are really a couple of gods and gods, you are the envy of others."
"Hahahaha." Yan Guangqing laughed heartily after hearing this.
Nie Yixin smiled and said to Jiang Beiran: "I have prepared some side dishes, Beiran, please come and eat some too."
"Since the dishes are cooked by Madam herself, I would rather be respectful than obey my orders."
Sitting in the pavilion, there were already several exquisite cold dishes on the table. After Jiang Beiran and Yan Guangqing sat down, Nie Yixin came over, picked up the wine flask, poured a glass for each of them, and said: "I'll go get the hot dishes."
Bring it here, you can eat and drink first."
"Thank you for your hard work, madam." Yan Guangqing said with soft eyes.
Nie Yixin smiled slightly and turned around to go to the east kitchen.
After Nie Yixin left, Jiang Beiran picked up the wine glass and said to Yan Guangqing: "Sect Master Yan, I would like to propose a toast to you first. Thank you for the many tips you have given me these past two days."
"Hahaha." Yan Guangqing laughed happily a few times, picked up the wine glass and touched it with Jiang Beiran, "There are talents in this generation, Beiran, with your understanding, it will be a matter of time before you catch up to me.
.”
"Zongzhu Yan is so complimentary. You are like a mountain standing in front of us. I have just reached the foot of the mountain."
"Hahaha, humble, so humble."
However, Yan Guangqing obviously still felt that these words were very useful, and his face was full of satisfaction and happiness.
He picked up the jug and poured Yan Guangqing another drink, and the two of them chatted about their discoveries in the formation deduction over the past two days.
"The food is here~"
After a while, Nie Yixin's voice came, and Jiang Beiran and Yan Guangqing looked back at the same time, and they were both stunned.
Because it was not only Nie Yixin but also Yan Guanyue who came with hot dishes. If only Yan Guanyue was there, Jiang Beiran wouldn't be stunned. After all, this was not the first time they had dinner together.
What surprised Jiang Beiran was that there was someone following Yan Guanyue.
‘Lu Ningxiang?’
I saw this princess of the Kingdom of Xing coming over with a plate of eel silk. Although she was doing the job of a maid, she could not hide her royal temperament at all. What's interesting is that she was actually wearing the same clothes as Yan Guanyue. No.
To be precise, it should be symmetrical clothes.
Seeing her benefactor looking towards her, Lu Ningxiang lowered her head shyly at first, but then she quickly raised her head and looked at her benefactor. Her eyes were three parts shy, four parts missing, five parts grateful, and twelve parts happy.
.
Yan Guangqing was stunned because he remembered something and couldn't help but smile and look at his wife and nodded.
Nie Yixin also nodded and smiled, without saying much.
Waiting for the three people to arrive at the pavilion with hot dishes, Yan Guanyue immediately started arranging the dishes.
Although there were some flaws because the dishes could not be symmetrical, Yan Guanyue still placed the plates and wine glasses symmetrically.
Everyone here was used to her behavior, so they didn't say anything and just sat there and let her adjust.
"I've met Sect Leader Yan." Lu Ningxiang first saluted Yan Guangqing, then looked at Jiang Beiran and said, "I've met my benefactor."
Jiang Beiran nodded, and then turned his eyes to Yan Guangqing, because he felt that Lu Ningxiang would not appear here for no reason.
Noticing Jiang Beiran's gaze, Yan Guangqing smiled and said: "Eat the vegetables first, eat the vegetables first."
Seeing that Yan Guangqing didn't say anything directly, Jiang Beiran didn't ask further questions and picked up his chopsticks again to eat the food.
"There are two more dishes. I'll bring them to you. You can sit down and eat first." Nie Yixin patted her daughter and Lu Ningxiang's shoulders and said.
"Mother (Mrs.), we are going with you."
After finishing speaking in unison, the two girls looked at each other and smiled, seeming to like this tacit understanding.
Nie Yixin also smiled gently, pushed the two of them into the pavilion and said: "You just eat first, I don't need your help for the rest."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Yan Guangqing glanced at his daughter, and then consciously gave up his seat so that his daughter and Lu Ningxiang could sit face to face.
"Thank you, father." He saluted Yan Guangqing, Yan Guanyue sat in his seat, and Lu Ningxiang sat opposite her.
After sitting down, they looked at each other and smiled, picked up their chopsticks and started picking up the food.
Jiang Beiran became more and more confused as he watched, a little confused as to where this song came from.
While eating, Lu Ningxiang's eyes would look at Jiang Beiran from time to time, but she always hesitated to speak.
At this time, Yan Guanyue said: "Master Jiang, what do you think of the taste of this fried eel?"
"The color and flavor are all good, and the small bones in the shredded eel are also deep-fried, which not only does not affect the taste, but also adds a bit of flavor. It is really a rare delicacy."
After hearing this, Yan Guanyue laughed and said: "This oily eel silk is made by Ningxiang herself. I believe she will be very happy to receive such praise from Young Master Jiang."
"Yueyue!" Lu Ningxiang exclaimed, then glanced at her benefactor shyly and said, "Well... as long as my benefactor likes it."
"I don't think you have this skill. It's not bad."
Jiang Beiran said what he said sincerely. It was already strange for a high-ranking princess to know how to cook. It was indeed rare for her to be able to cook decently.
"Thank you so much for your compliments."
Seeing that the atmosphere was good, Yan Guangqing suddenly said: "Bei Ran, I have something to tell you when I asked you to come here this time. I have already taken care of everything in the palace, and I have also taken over Ningxiang's family.
.”
‘Huh?’ Jiang Beiran was surprised.
Lu Ningxiang’s family? Does this mean that the current emperor has also been taken over?
Yan Guangqing was able to do this, which was expected by Jiang Beiran, but it was also a bit unexpected. At the same time, he also gained a new understanding of Yan Guangqing's power in the country.
'An old fox is an old fox. He doesn't show off his skills when he talks, but when he does something, you know he is a strong man.'
"Sect Master Yan is indeed a man of great powers, and I admire him in this younger generation." Jiang Beiran put down his chopsticks and said in his hands.
"Hahaha, it's just a little thing."
At this time, Lu Ningxiang also put down her chopsticks and stood up to salute Yan Guangqing: "Ningxiang, on behalf of our family, thanks the sect master for his great kindness. In the future, he will definitely..."
However, Lu Ningxiang was only halfway through when Yan Guangqing interrupted her and said, "Okay, okay, let's eat first. Why are you being so serious? It's just a casual mention."
"Yes." Lu Ningxiang agreed and sat down again.
Then Yan Guangqing looked at Jiang Beiran again and said: "I have already been to the other treasure house. There are indeed many good things in it. I will take you to see it later."
"That's not necessary."
"No, of course it is necessary. There is also a thank you gift from Ningxiang inside."
