Starting from crossing the Fengshen

Yin Qi said: "Oh, what kind of treatment?"

Chu Yue smiled and said, "With the status of 'extraordinary scholar', you can enter the palace to meet the emperor at any time and offer advice. With a monthly salary of 10,000 gold coins, you have the right to call on the power of the country so that you can practice or do research..."

Yin Qi nodded: "I would like to add one more thing."

Chu Yue said: "Please speak."

Yin Qi said: "I hope your royal library can be fully open to me."

"no problem!"

Chu Yue smiled happily and was very decisive.

Although the Royal Library contains countless classics, many of which are unique copies, including books on martial arts, spiritual practice, magic, etc., most of them are written in ancient characters and are extremely difficult to decipher.

No one can understand it even if it is placed in the library.

For ordinary people, the royal library is naturally a treasure trove where many precious cultivation secrets can be found.

But for Yin Qi, that’s just the value.

After all, Yin Qi was most likely from some ancient hidden sect or family with a family background. He would definitely look down on the martial arts in the royal library of the Chu State and was probably looking for something.

In fact, in addition to the royal library, the Chu royal family also had a Sutra Library, which contained a large number of rare books.

That is the foundation of the royal family and it is never open to the outside world.

Chu Yue turned to look at Chen Nan and said, "Mr. Chen, are you interested in joining the Qishi Mansion? Your cultivation has been lost, and it may not be easy to recover. I can ask a medical expert to help you recover faster."

Chen Nan thought for a moment and said, "Okay. But I also hope to be able to read books in the Royal Library."

Chu Yue smiled slightly and said, "Of course."

.........

Pingyang City is quite large, with walls that are sixteen meters high and twelve meters wide at the top.

The walls are covered with blue bricks, which are thick, solid, majestic and deep.

There are towers, arrow towers and gate towers on the city gates, towering into the sky, majestic and magnificent. Outside the city wall is a moat 40 meters wide and 10 meters deep, with rippling blue waves and flying boats in the moat.

Chen Nan exclaimed: "What a magnificent city!"

Chu Yu took the opportunity to retort: ​​"Haha, you stinky scum, you really haven't seen the world, our Pingyang City is magnificent."

Yin Qi, however, looked indifferent.

In his eyes, Pingyang City is just a small city.

Chu Yue observed secretly and felt more and more that Yin Qi's background was not simple. Even though she lived in Pingyang City, she would occasionally sigh at the vastness of Pingyang City, but Yin Qi was unmoved.

It wasn't long before the group entered the city.

Pingyang City is bustling with traffic and pedestrians, and there are shops lining both sides of the road, creating a prosperous scene.

The Emperor of Chu had already received the report. Not only did his eldest daughter return from her western tour to attend the court, but he also found the little princess who had secretly run away from home. He was extremely happy and sent people out of the city to welcome her.

Escorted by five hundred elite cavalrymen and a large number of royal guards from the imperial city, Yin Qi and his companions arrived at the gate of the imperial palace.

After entering the palace, Chu Yue said, "Mr. Yin, Mr. Chen, let's go and pay our respects to our father and mother first. You guys wait in that side hall. My father will meet you later."

"it is good!"

Yin Qi and Chen Nan nodded.

……

The queen's bedroom.

Chu Yu snuggled up to the queen, chattering about her experience of going out.

After she finished speaking, Chu Emperor Chu Han said in a deep voice: "I didn't expect this Ren Jian to be so bold that he actually had evil intentions on the border of my Chu State. If I didn't want to destroy the peace of the continent for many years and put the people in dire straits, I would definitely send people to conquer the Baiyue Kingdom."

Chu Yue nodded and said, "Father, you are right. We shouldn't start a war out of anger. Besides, Ren Jian didn't get any advantage at all. He was even robbed by my little sister. Haha."

Speaking of the latter part, she couldn't help but chuckle.

Chu Han also shook his head and laughed, then said, "What do you think of Yin Qi and Chen Nan, Yue'er?"

Chu Yu interrupted, "Father, let me tell you, Chen Nan is a stinking scum, uneducated and unskillful, and has been causing trouble for me all the way. Humph, if Yin Qi hadn't been next to me, I would have wanted to teach him a lesson." As she spoke, she waved her fist.

Chu Yue said seriously: "Chen Nan looks like a scoundrel, and for some reason he has lost all his cultivation recently, but he must have something extraordinary to be able to become Yin Qi's good friend.

As for Yin Qi, I can only say that he is an outstanding person.

This person's cultivation is at least at the late third level, and he is knowledgeable and talented. Whether it is playing the piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, governing the country, marching and fighting, etc., he has extremely deep attainments and insights.

He has deep knowledge in almost every field I can think of.

To be honest, I can't see through him.

Therefore, I guess that he might be from an ancient hidden sect or family, and he is the most outstanding one. He happened to meet Xiaoyu and the others while traveling."

"Oh, you are so talented."

Chu Han was shocked.

He knew how outstanding his eldest daughter was, and even she was willing to admit defeat, which showed how outstanding this man was.

Thinking of this, he looked at Chu Yu inexplicably.

Chu Yu was confused by the look on his face.

Chu Yue knew Chu Han's thoughts and said, "They have agreed to join the Qishi Mansion and follow us into the palace. Would you like to meet them, father?"

Chu Han said happily: "Great, Yue'er, you have done a great job. If our Chu State wants to grow and develop, we must recruit experts from all sides. Well, how can I not meet such a genius? Go ahead."

……

"Greetings, Your Majesty, Queen."

Yin Qi and Chen Nan just bowed.

"No need to be polite!"

Chu Han laughed heartily, his eyes fell on Yin Qi, and he couldn't help but nodded secretly.

He is indeed a handsome man with extraordinary bearing.

"Since you two have joined the Qishi Mansion, you should treat Chu as your home from now on. If you need anything, just let me know. I will do my best to satisfy you."

Yin Qi and Chen Nan nodded: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Next, Chu Han said some words to win people's hearts and ended the meeting.

Yin Qi and Chen Nan also had an extra gold medal in their hands.

This gold medal not only allows free entry and exit of the palace, but also free entry and exit of the royal library. It can be regarded as Chu Han's exchange for the promise made by Chu Yue.

……

Qishi Mansion is not far from the imperial palace.

Chu Yue led Yin Qi and Chen Nan and soon arrived at a mansion covering a very large area.

The tall gatehouse is of extraordinary majesty, with majestic stone lions carved from white marble on both sides. On the vermilion gate hangs a plaque with red background and gold characters, which reads: Qi Shi Mansion.

Chu Yue said: "Master Yin, Master Chen, those who can live in the House of Extraordinary Scholars are either young talents like you, or extraordinary people with special abilities.

At the beginning, you may feel a little uncomfortable.

But it will be fine after a long time.

If you wish, you may associate with them.

If you don’t want to, you can just ignore them.”

The interior of Qishi Mansion is divided into numerous independent courtyards. It is not as grand and luxurious as the one in front of the mansion, but rather has a sense of returning to nature. Each courtyard has its own unique garden view.

When the so-called extraordinary people inside saw Chu Yue, they just smiled and nodded, and did not come forward to salute. This shows how noble the status of these extraordinary people who enjoy the treatment of national scholars is.

In the end, Yin Qi and Chen Nan moved into two adjacent courtyards.

There is a small patch of green bamboo on the west side of Chennan Courtyard, and a small pond with lotus flowers blooming in the east side of Yinqi Courtyard. (End of this chapter)
