Chapter 378 Nan Yi Returns to Beijing
Nan Yi returned from the capital on the morning of July 27th.

After saying goodbye to Dong Lingtian, Nan Yi did not return to Luo's house directly. Instead, in order to prevent Huagui Pavilion from monitoring Luo's house, he concealed his whereabouts and randomly found an inn to book a room to rest.

Kong Qian came to cause trouble for Nan Yi because of personal vengeance and it had nothing to do with Huagui Pavilion.

But Kong Qian and Lin Du are both dead. In Nan Yi's eyes, the Huagui Pavilion, which was originally unrelated, will most likely be implicated and become related to him - after all, the Huagui Pavilion has ulterior motives and must be sensitive and suspicious during this period. They will not just pretend nothing happened when someone died.

Normally, the death of Kong Qian and Lin Du would not be known to Huagui Pavilion immediately. This is because Huagui Pavilion is not a formal sect, and there are no special instruments such as the Soul Lantern that are used to display the life and death status of disciples.

But it's always better to be on guard.

If Huagui Pavilion already knows about it, then he should avoid possible surveillance first; if Huagui Pavilion still doesn't know about it, or has not yet determined the outcome of Kong Qian's fight with him, then he should delay the time as much as possible and expose himself to the eyes of Huagui Pavilion later.

Nan Yi sat on the bed in the inn, his mind immersed in the martial spirit world, and chose to call Huang Nian'er first.

When he left the capital before, he did not let Huang Nian'er go with him, but let Huang Nian'er continue to watch Huagui Pavilion from afar, to see if he could pick up any more information.

Because Huang Nian'er's real body is still in the Phoenix inheritance spiritual realm, only a wisp of her consciousness is placed on Nan Yi. Her mental energy is limited and she cannot take care of both the real world and the martial spiritual world at the same time.

If Nan Yiruo called out to Huang Nian'er in the Martial Spirit Realm, Huang Nian'er would have to temporarily stop talking and doing in the world, just like changing channels on TV, and start jumping around in the Martial Spirit Realm.

Nan Yi waited for a few breaths, and saw Huang Nian'er lying in the corner of the Wuling Realm, and opened his eyes again.

However, Huang Nian'er seemed a little listless and dispirited, which was completely beyond Nan Yi's expectations.

"You were discovered by the Painting Gui Pavilion?"

Nan Yi's first reaction was that Huang Nian'er had been discovered. Huang Nian'er, who could walk around in the real world with a wisp of spiritual consciousness through a real projection body, could use her mind-reading ability to steal information quietly, making it hard to guard against.

But once the cultivators noticed something, even if they just suppressed her with a slightly suspicious consciousness, the red and black crow vest that Huang Nian'er was currently wearing would be in extremely bad condition.

As a result, Huang Nian'er said weakly: "I shouldn't have been discovered, but I saw a noble person I shouldn't have seen. I was impacted by the dragon energy ban, and my consciousness was unstable. I will be a little blind in the short term."

It turned out that when Emperor Li transformed himself into Li Ziming and rushed to Huagui Pavilion with Zhongli, he happened to fall into the sight of Huang Nian'er who had built a nest on a tree not too far from Huagui Pavilion.

Huang Nian'er subconsciously used her mind-reading ability to try to spy on Li Huang and Zhongli's thoughts.

As a result, Huang Nian'er actually saw the golden dragon of fortune transformed from the dynasty's fortune, which is the root of what is commonly known as the "Dragon Qi Magic Ban" in the cultivation world.

The golden dragon of luck opened its eyes and met Huang Nian'er's gaze, which immediately caused Huang Nian'er's spiritual consciousness to be greatly shaken and almost completely shattered.

However, it is because the "Dragon Qi Prohibition" has the effect of warding off all evil spirits. On a macro level, it can only accommodate yellow-level things normally, thereby restraining the gods and ghosts, separating the immortals and mortals, protecting the country and the people, and establishing a peaceful and happy place for the people to live.

——The mysterious-grade strange weapons that appear in the mortal world are actually in a sealed state, or have the power of self-sealing, so they cannot be detected by the "Dragon Qi Magic Ban"; as for the mysterious-grade Taoist weapons or spiritual treasures, they can be stored in the nine palaces of the cultivator's body and will not be destroyed by the "Dragon Qi Magic Ban".

Specifically speaking, compared to ordinary people, the powerful and wealthy have additional protection from the "Dragon Qi Law". To a certain extent, there is a saying that "the law does not protect the noble."

All magic skills that target the "noble person" will first pass through the "Dragon Qi Magic Ban". In this way, as long as the "noble person" is within the range of the "Dragon Qi Magic Ban", he will basically not be affected by the magic skills of others.

However, this "noble lady" only refers to those who hold an official rank of the second rank or above. Even the third rank assistant ministers of various ministries are not considered "noble ladies".

Huang Nian'er said gloomily, "I need to stabilize my consciousness. For about a month, I won't be able to use my mind-reading ability again."

"Then yesterday afternoon, a woman in green, probably Zhongli, followed a pale-faced middle-aged Taoist priest to the outside of the Huagui Pavilion."

"The middle-aged Taoist priest is protected by the Dragon Qi Magic Forbidden Rule. When I tried to spy on his thoughts, I was repelled by the Dragon Qi Magic Forbidden Rule."

"But before the backlash, I got a hint from Zhongli." Huang Nian'er paused and imitated Zhongli's surprised and confused tone, "He can actually transform into Senior Brother Li Ziyin's appearance. How much does he know?"

"From this we can see that the middle-aged Taoist is not his true appearance."

Huang Nian'er told Nan Yi the last piece of key information she could provide in the short term.

Nan Yi pondered.

He felt that Huang Nian'er's ability to read minds was suddenly abolished, just like the result of fate, seemingly accidental but actually inevitable - the other party also had great luck, and when he faced him, under the pressure of luck, he would block his additional channels for obtaining information and prevent him from cheating.

The matter was a foregone conclusion, so Nan Yi no longer thought about it and only wondered in his heart who the middle-aged Taoist priest was.

In the Li Dynasty, the second-rank officials were the nine ministers of the nine ministries; the first-rank officials were the three officials, namely the prime minister, the general, and the censor.

There are only twelve people in total. Who could be the noble person who has dealings with Huagui Pavilion?

Nan Yi had some doubts about the Minister of Rites.

After all, the fact that Huagui Pavilion was able to facilitate the proposal of selecting a concubine was obviously arranged by the Ministry of Rites. It seems possible that Huagui Pavilion secretly colluded with the Minister of Rites.

After being sold information by Du Yuanfu of Du'e Academy, Nan Yi hated the whole family and habitually looked at the Ministry of Rites, which corresponded to the Du'e faction, with tinted glasses.

However, Huang Nian'er's ability to read minds was temporarily abolished. In the absence of definite evidence, Nan Yi just thought about it in his mind and stopped speculating without making any rash judgment.

He collected his thoughts, hid Huang Nian'er in the Wuling World again, and summoned Su Guang and Yan Qingyun who were still away from the capital, as well as his own clone Qiu Changsheng, to hold a small meeting and communicate briefly.

Nan Yi first briefly explained Kong Qian's death.

"I knew Kong Qian would set an ambush when the secondary vein blood was heading south, so I took advantage of the situation and asked the master of the Vessel Tower for help. I successfully killed Kong Qian and Lin Du of the Painting Pavilion."

"There are seven people in Huagui Pavilion, and I killed two of them. It can be said that we have a grudge against each other. Although Huagui Pavilion may not know about the death of Kong Qian and Lin Du, but since they have not seen Kong Qian and Lin Du rush back and have not received any news from them, they will probably guess that these two people were killed by me."

"I can't say whether they will care to investigate, but you still have to be more careful when you travel outside the capital, and don't get tricked by the Huagui Pavilion."
