I have the best bloodline

Upon hearing the aunt speak, the shop assistants who had previously pretended not to know her nodded repeatedly in agreement.

"Let's slaughter that mountain rascal!" Zhou You said, looking at the Yinqi fruit handed to him by the shop assistant, three black lines immediately appearing on his forehead. "That dead pig, it's so delicious but it chooses the expensive one."

Yinqi Fruit and Yangqi Fruit, one plant produces two fruits, the two fruits are one of the main ingredients of two pills, and the two pills are also a combination, so you can't just buy one to eat.

As Zhou You spoke, he tossed the spiritual fruit back to Wen Juntong, telling him to dispose of it himself.

Shan Huan, who used to be so talkative, seemed to know that he had made a big mistake. He buried his head at Wen Juntong's feet and trembled, not daring to say a word even when Zhou You complained.

"It does have some uses. Drying and grinding the fruit into powder can nourish yin and improve complexion, but it seems that you need to be selective about your skin type when using it." The aunt led the staff of the Treasure Pavilion to the backstage, and also explained the uses of the single fruit to Su Yan's friend.

"If you use the wrong medicine, it seems like it will ruin your face. Your human race has a particularly complicated way of using medicine. I don't really understand it either. We usually just apply it and then eat it."

After giving a brief instruction, the aunt followed the appraiser to the inner hall to collect the consignment payment, and also took out several hundred kilograms of spiritual fruits and plants to consign in the shop.

"Would you like to sit over there?"

Su Yan looked at Wen Juntong and Zhou You, pointed to the teahouse next to them, and said with a slightly strange expression on his face:

"Why do I feel like every time I see Brother Wen you're either having bad luck or on your way to getting into trouble?"

“It’s just his personality,” Zhou You said, shaking his head.

Wen Juntong was born into a family in the Demon Suppression Division. His ancestors were all cautious and ruthless, holding high positions in the Demon Suppression Division. However, Wen Juntong did not inherit the fine traditions of his ancestors at all. Instead, he was carefree and seemed to lack common sense. His biggest dream was to live a life of ease and find a Golden Core cultivator as his wife.

My motto is: My ancestors worked so hard, they have already done their part for me. No matter how hard I try, I can never reach their level. It's better to live a carefree life in the legacy of my ancestors.

Why cultivate oneself? For freedom and liberation! And haven't I already avoided hundreds of years of detours and am enjoying it now?

Zhou You was speechless at this idiot. If they hadn't known each other since childhood, he would have wanted to beat him to death.

The three sat down in the teahouse. Wen Juntong put Shan Huan in the cage, then looked at Su Yan with a wry smile and said:

"Brother Su, you've kept this from me for so long. If I hadn't passed by the study the day before yesterday and overheard the old man talking about you, I wouldn't have known that you were such a powerful person."

"If I had known earlier, I would have lifted you high above my head. Wouldn't all those Golden Core stage girls who ignored me have flocked to me then?"

"Why are you so obsessed with the Golden Core Girl?" Su Yan complained helplessly.

"Because the Golden Core stage can preserve youth! Imagine marrying a Golden Core stage wife, and seeing her still looking the same even when I'm in my coffin. Just thinking about it makes me happy," Wen Juntong said smugly.

Upon hearing this, both Su Yan and Zhou You showed a hesitant expression on their faces.

Yu the Great did not say that widows could not remarry, and in fact, there were indeed women who liked these beautiful women.

Chapter 479 The Actions of the Demon Suppression Division

"If I could marry a beautiful woman at the Golden Core stage, my life would be worthwhile."

Wen Juntong spoke with a face full of emotion, completely unaware of the strange looks on the faces of his two good brothers.

Zhou You's face darkened as he said, "With your family background, you could easily find a merchant family to marry into with Madam Wen without any problem, right?"

“Unlike a loveless marriage, where everyone goes their own way after the wedding, I’m going to win over a beautiful woman who loves my charm through my own hard work,” Wen Juntong said confidently.

Given Wen Juntong's cultivation level at the Qi Refining stage, it's simply a pipe dream for him to marry a Golden Core stage cultivator without relying on his family's influence; there's absolutely no possibility of it.

Su Yan and Zhou You were both speechless, unsure how to persuade Wen Juntong. They could only silently change the subject, not wanting to continue discussing the topic of the beautiful woman with the Golden Core cultivator with the stubborn fool.

"By the way, Brother Su, you must have received the letter from the Inner Court Bureau too, right?" Zhou You said with a resentful look on his face. "If I'm not mistaken, you should also be going to Old Dragon's residence in three days, just like me, right?"

The Inner Court Bureau was the agency that managed affairs within the Imperial City. All matters, large and small, concerning the passageways, palace maids, eunuchs, and other personnel within the Imperial City fell under its jurisdiction.

All the winners of the spring outing received a letter from the Inner Court Bureau and a pass. The letter indicated the date of the assembly, and everyone was instructed to use the pass to gather inside the Grand Tutor's Mansion on the designated date.

When Zhou You saw the letter, he almost couldn't help but curse out loud. After the flower tour, he was now very clear about Grand Tutor Jin's wicked nature. When he saw the summons, he immediately knew that nothing good was going to happen.

"We agreed that after the spring outing, all our previous achievements would be converted into spirit stones, but now," Zhou You said with a resentful look, "Brother Su, do you know the inside story?"

"Brother Zhou, relax. I happen to know some inside information about what you're talking about." Su Yan chuckled upon hearing this and said, "The princess told me about the behind-the-scenes story of the spring outing. After we took office in the flower region, the rewards were already decided."

"The reason we're being summoned again is simply because Grand Tutor Jin feels that those guys have proven they do have some skills. Anyway, I'm going to reward them anyway, so why not keep them here for a while and let them work for free?"

Su Yan shook his head speechlessly. Grand Tutor Jin, who originated from the Dragon Clan, always had a set of rules when it came to being inhuman.

"In the past, we mainly helped Grand Tutor Jin with some trivial matters and recorded memorials. The rest of the time we could follow Grand Tutor Jin around and wander around, but we didn't have much to do."

“Very good.” Zhou You nodded thoughtfully: “I thought the Grand Tutor was trying to make a fool of us like a monkey!”

"what?"

Just as Su Yan and Zhou You were whispering complaints about Grand Tutor Jin, Wen Juntong let out a soft "hmm," reached into his wide sleeve, pulled out a vibrating communication jade, and connected to it: "Mother, is there anything you need to tell me?"

"Three things. First, I'm changing your sound transmission jade to a sound transmission mode instead of that damned external broadcast," Madam Wen's slightly annoyed voice came through the vibrations of the jade. "The next two things don't require your answers."

Wen Juntong's cultivation level was not high enough. If he changed the sound transmission jade to sound transmission mode, he might completely collapse after saying only a few words due to exhaustion. Therefore, his sound transmission jade has always been in external playback and conversation mode.

Intimidated by Madam Wen, Wen Juntong quickly adjusted the mode of his communication jade and obediently listened to his mother.

"Now listen carefully to me. The second thing is that the Demon Suppression Division is currently recruiting for a special mission. It is said that the Third Prince is leading a joint effort with the Imperial Medical Bureau and the Demon Suppression Division to form an experimental new army. Your grandfather used some connections to get you into the team."

"Don't waste resources. The Imperial Medical Bureau has really gone all out this time, bringing out a huge amount of pills." Although Madam Wen was not by his side, Wen Juntong seemed to be able to see the fierce and murderous look in his mother's eyes. He subconsciously shuddered and almost crawled under the table.

"The third thing isn't too important. You know Su Yan, the nephew of Old Insect Ruchun Garden, right? I remember you should have his communication jade's aura preserved. He's gone missing now."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Wen Juntong looked at Su Yan, who was sitting opposite him and eating a chicken leg, with a surprised expression. Had she gotten lost?

"Tell Su Yan that Ruchun Garden is overcrowded and she should come stay at Aunt Wen's house. We're making soup now, so Hu Bao can come over and have a couple of bowls."

Madam Wen was currently in Ruchun Garden. Upon learning that Su Yan was not there, she immediately remembered that her son seemed to have Su Yan's contact information. Therefore, Madam Wen directly called Wen Juntong and asked him to invite Su Yan to the Wen residence for a casual meal.

How should I put Su Yan's identity? His mother and the commander of the Demon Suppression Division were best friends and Daoist partners, so the commander of the Demon Suppression Division was Su Yan's aunt.

While it's not really about trying to win over the boss's adorable nephew, it's still necessary to have some casual conversation. Nine-tailed foxes are believed to possess various supernatural powers, so inviting one into the home to ward off evil and bring wealth is a good idea.

Madam Wen firmly believed this. Every time she lost all her money at the gambling table, touching Su Yan would immediately bring her good luck. Those old women who had been begging for money would all have their underpants and bellybands pressed into their hands.

Madam Wen firmly believed in Su Yan's ability to bring wealth, so she ordered Wen Juntong to invite Su Yan to their home.

"Brother Su, my family is having a big meal tonight. How about coming over for a couple of bowls of soup?"

Wen Juntong hung up the communication jade and said with a sorrowful expression, "This is a farewell banquet. My family has used their connections to send me here to suffer."

"Row!"

Seeing this, Su Yan didn't hesitate. She knew Wen Juntong's family members, and Madam Wen often helped with business and treated her to meals at her own Ruchun Garden. So Su Yan didn't stand on ceremony and nodded in agreement.

………………

In the following days, Su Yan did not return to Ruchun Garden to rest, but instead stayed temporarily at Wen Juntong's house and visited Princess Wuxi's house.

When the summons arrived, Su Yan and Zhou You strolled out early in the morning, hailed a carriage, and headed straight for the capital.

"belch"

Zhou You lay back in the carriage, patted his belly, and let out a burp:

"I feel like things are a bit strange at Brother Wen's house lately. The food is so high-class. They even made me stuffed with stewed beef hoof noodles for breakfast."

The Wen family's previous meals were not bad, but it wasn't like every meal consisted of a table full of stewed spirit beasts and hearty dishes. They could eat their fill of river and seafood.

Since Su Yan moved in, Zhou You felt like he had gained three to five pounds.

"I'm so full, I don't really want to talk." Su Yan transformed back into her little fox form and lay on the carriage table, patting her belly and letting out a burp.

Chapter 480 Don't do this, I'm going to scream! (Long chapter, please vote!)

"Little fox!"

Su Yan and Zhou You transferred to a special carriage inside the imperial city from in front of the city gate and arrived at the Grand Tutor's Mansion. Just as they were about to enter the mansion, Princess Luanming's clear and beautiful voice, like that of a nightingale, came from behind them.

Su Yan turned around and saw Princess Luanming and Feng Shiqi walking leisurely out of the forest path, smiling and greeting him.

"Sister Junxia!"

Su Yan stopped, turned around, waved, and said, "It's been a while since we last met. How is Uncle doing?"

Since returning to Xia Yu, Princess Luanming has stayed at home due to her father, King Xuan's, serious illness. She has not gone to Wanhua Pavilion for entertainment as before, nor has she had time to go to Ruchun Garden to flirt with talented women or pet foxes.

Therefore, when Su Yan greeted the princess, he first inquired about her father's situation.

"The magic power is still slowly dissipating, as usual. The newly appointed head of the Imperial Medical Bureau has improved the prescription, which has temporarily stopped the loss of magic power." Princess Luanming shook her head and said, "There should be no major problems for now. We still need to see how my father's condition is and take medicine to alleviate the loss of cultivation power."

The Xuan King's illness was not a physical ailment, but rather a backlash from the innate secret technique of the Luan Bird Clan. The death of the Xuan King's consort was like a stone hitting a vat, creating a crack in the foundation of the Xuan King's path to immortality. As time passed, the cracked vat would eventually shatter into pieces.

This disease is incurable by medicine, unless the bloodline of the Xuan King no longer contains the blood of the Luan bird, in which case there is a possibility of a cure.

The newly appointed Imperial Physician, Fairy Physician, possesses the method to heal the Xuan King's injuries. However, there is a fear that the Xuan King, who is determined to fight to the death, might not be willing to accept it.

"Where's Qingya? Why hasn't Qingya arrived yet?" Su Yan sat on the flower bed in front of the Grand Tutor's mansion. As the time agreed upon in the letter approached, the other group of four and two independent people had arrived at the gate of the Grand Tutor's mansion, but Qingya had not yet arrived. Su Yan couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

"Brother Su."

Upon hearing this, Zhou You paused for a moment before slowly saying, "Although Qingya helped us a lot in Flower City, she was sent to the Flower Region by order of the Imperial Medical Bureau to investigate the origins of the Eternal Life Sect and was not a formal member of the Spring Outing Tour."

"Shouldn't she still be at the Imperial Medical Bureau? How could she be here?"

Qingya did not participate in the imperial martial arts exercise, nor did she attend Yongle Academy. She was not originally part of the spring outing trip. The reason she was on the same boat was simply because someone gave her a ride along the way.

"Forgot."

Su Yan was slightly taken aback, but after Zhou You's reminder, he looked enlightened and said, "We used to be so used to the five of us acting like tyrants in Flower City that we forgot Qingya has always belonged to the Imperial Medical Bureau."

"Gentlemen."

Just as Su Yan was lamenting her forgetfulness, the previously tightly closed gates of the Grand Tutor's mansion opened, and two girls dressed as maids walked out. They looked at the ten people already waiting at the gate and said:

"The master is already waiting for you in the main hall. If there is nothing else, we will now lead you into the Grand Tutor's residence. Please do not wander around the residence unnecessarily, lest you see something you shouldn't see or know and lose your life."

The two maids looked at the students who were about to enter the Grand Tutor's mansion with warning expressions.

Su Yan didn't react to what she heard and followed the two maids to the courtyard. The layout and decoration of Grand Tutor Jin's house were completely unrefined, just piled up with materials. Everywhere you looked were precious handicrafts and decorations made of a large amount of spirit stones.

Everything on the ground and hanging from the ceiling are precious handicrafts woven from spiritual plants, exuding a maximalist style that is ornate and elaborate.

Despite its complexity, the design doesn't appear cluttered; the contrasting colors between the objects create a visually stunning effect.
