Xi strained with all her might against Nian, her pretty face turning bright red from the effort.
"My older sister lives in Shangshu, don't force me to go and complain to her!"
"Oh, oh, oh, so you're not going to hold a grudge about the fact that the boss never takes the initiative to contact you?" Nian teased Xi while also bringing up her shortcomings. "Some people, you know, always expect the boss to take the initiative to contact them, but they're too proud to admit it."
Let me tell you, the eldest sister has even come to see me a few times. Why don't you think she would come to see you first?
Oh, my poor little melon girl, because of your withdrawn personality you avoid your older brothers and sisters. Besides me, your good older sister, who else would put up with your grumpy face and get close to you?
Xi immediately broke down: "Shut up! She didn't come to see me for other reasons!"
"My poor sister, is she starting to run away from reality?" Nian continued with her sarcastic expression.
Xi was so angry that she gritted her small silver teeth.
Year, through the shield, makes crazy faces at dusk.
Unable to bear it any longer, Xi let out a "howl" and actually leaned forward to bite Nian's face.
The sudden attack startled Nian, who screamed and struggled to get up.
Unfortunately, the balance of power reversed at this moment. Xi, like an octopus, clung tightly to Nian with all four limbs, pinning him to the ground and biting his face, refusing to let go.
Everyone in the inn was stunned by what they saw.
Just as Taihe was hesitating whether to take a picture or step forward to dissuade them, the inn's door was kicked open.
"You people are making such a racket, don't you have any sense of public decency?" Qi Yan strode into the house. "Don't the neighbors need to sleep? They have to go to work tomorrow... huh?"
This time, Qi Yansmo smoothly completed the citizenship procedures for the spiritual Liberian. Looking at the two sisters entangled together in the room, she was completely dumbfounded.
The moment Bai Tianshi saw Qi Yan, he immediately withdrew all his powers and, driven by psychological trauma, climbed out the window and made a hasty escape.
"Holy crap, what just shot out like that again?"
Qi Yan was startled by Bai Tianshi's commotion and finally came back to his senses.
When he turned his head, his eyes widened instantly.
"That damned Second Brother Sui! He was so busy with his own affairs that he forgot about something so important!"
Before he finished speaking, a thin strand of black appeared in Qi Yan's white hair.
His figure left a trail of afterimages, and before anyone in the room could react, he crashed into the two Qi Lins, reaching out to pull them into his arms.
Just as Qi Yan was about to bury himself in the pleasure of inhaling, one of the Qi Lins, out of surprise, lost his composure and turned into ink on the spot.
Watching the joy that was about to be tasted vanish, Qi Yan felt as if the sky had fallen.
"Do not!!!"
His knees buckled, and he knelt before the ink stains on the floor, tilting his head back to unleash a mournful roar.
Qi Lin herself stood beside him, her two wolf ears drooping slightly in disdain.
But seeing her unfortunate little thing howling so sadly, a hint of pity flashed in her eyes, and she slowly reached out... to add snowflake effects to Qi Yan.
Chapter 851 Li Boli is actually myself
Qi Yan's mournful cry not only drew everyone's attention, but also caused Nian and Xi, who were entangled in a struggle, to stop what they were doing.
Xi released her mouth, propped herself up from Nian's body, and licked her lips with a hint of lingering satisfaction.
The man beneath her was somewhat distraught, wiping the saliva from his face.
Just then, Liang Xun, who had rushed over, appeared in front of the inn's gate.
Upon entering the room, Liang Xun was stunned by the scene before him.
Kneeling on the ground, surrounded by snowflake effects, Qi Yan cried and begged for help in front of a puddle of ink.
Lying on the ground, with her younger sister pinning her down, Nian frantically wiped the saliva and teeth marks from her face.
Lying on the ground, with her older sister pinned beneath her, Xi wore a smug expression.
In the corner, Wuyou, out of sorts, was at a loss, while Chen, with an excited expression, dutifully held up the terminal and recorded the video.
At the window, Taihe and Zuole remained indifferent to everything, huddled together whispering and discussing something.
Liang Xun hesitated for a moment, then turned and went out the door again.
He then patted his face outside the door and carefully stepped back inside, changing his pace.
But nothing has changed.
"Is this way of entering wrong too?" Liang Xun was dumbfounded. "I'll go and try another one..."
"Lord Liang, stop making a fuss."
Chen put away the terminal and waved to Liang Xun, saying, "This is normal. You'll get used to it. If you went to Rhodes Island or Qi Yan's nursing home for a few days, you'd encounter even more bizarre situations."
I heard that not long ago, the Sarkaz Bloodlord was almost driven to suicide by jumping off a building, but unfortunately I wasn't there to witness that spectacle.
Liang Xun: "..."
Qi Yan, who was wailing, suddenly seemed to receive a signal, her voice abruptly stopping, and she turned her head to stare straight at Liang Xun:
"Lord Liang is going to my nursing home?"
"Sorry! I'm very busy with work and can't get away!"
Liang Xun refused three times in a row, then immediately changed the subject: "I saw a thunderous phenomenon in the direction of the inn before. If nothing unexpected happened, it should be the work of Master Bai Tian. But why can't we see Master Bai Tian now?"
Qi Yan propped himself up on his knees and stood up, pointing to the window as he explained:
"Who knows what's wrong with that old man? As soon as I arrived, he jumped out of the window, acting like there were a bunch of pretty girls in this room and I wouldn't even look at him."
Liang Xun ignored the latter half of Qi Yan's words and breathed a sigh of relief, saying:
"Fortunately, no conflict broke out."
"Hey! Are you sure there wasn't a fight?" Nian shouted from the ground, "Can someone come and save me first?"
Upon hearing the commotion, Liang Xun prepared to step forward to inquire about the situation, but Qi Yan rushed over and stopped him:
"I advise you to mind your own business. I, Qi Xiaobai, love watching women fight!"
Between Nian and Qi Yan, Liang Xun decisively chose the latter.
Then he remembered his business and asked Qi Yan:
"Lord Qi Yan, now that you're back, I wonder how Miss Du is doing now..."
"Didn't anyone tell you?"
"say what?"
Seeing that Liang Xun really didn't know, Qi Yan couldn't help but laugh: "You, the local official of Shangshu, are not very good at governing. I even took Xiao Du to break into the prison, and you didn't even hear a word about it."
Liang Xun was shocked: "The prison has been destroyed?"
Qi Yan waved his hands repeatedly, explaining before Chen could react:
"Don't talk nonsense. I, Qi Xiaobai, always keep my promises. If I say I'll protect Shangshu, I will protect Shangshu. I just used the Time Authority to teleport the officials in the prison... Oh right, they've all been teleported away. How can they report to you?"
Realizing that this was his fault, Qi Yan decisively moved on from the topic:
"Xiao Du and Manager Zheng are safe now. I have arranged for them to go up the mountain overnight. Now we are going back to the inn to help Manager Zheng get the Frost Blade that he didn't have time to take with him."
"...It seems that Old Carp has actually followed your strategic thinking." A hint of admiration flashed in Liang Xun's eyes.
Qi Yan felt an itch on his head, as if feathers were growing out of it.
Seeing Qi Yan scratching his head, Liang Xun said confidently:
"Old Carp has already deduced the game between you and that agent. He has now pretended to give the wine cup to a little girl who controls sleeping beasts, and then, based on the clues given by you and that agent, he went up the mountain overnight to find the answer."
Now that I have learned that your arrangements are exactly as Old Li predicted, I am quite surprised, and I hope you will forgive me.”
Qi Yan scratched his hair hard, looking at his palms with trepidation, checking if he had pulled out any feathers.
Liang Xun didn't take Qi Yan's prank to heart. He lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then speculated to himself:
"Since the situation is entirely under your control, then it seems that Bai Tianshi's appearance and departure were also part of your plan. Allow me to make a bold guess..."
The Baitian Division belongs to the Ministry of Rites, but the Ministry of Rites has not sent anyone here like the Sisutai (the official in charge of the year's affairs). This indicates that in this power struggle, there must be a powerful figure behind the scenes who can oversee both sides.
"Ah...ah!"
Qi Yan paused for a moment out of habit, but then immediately realized, "Yes, the old man, the Grand Tutor of the current dynasty, is here."
"He came to Shangshu in person?!" Liang Xun exclaimed in surprise.
This time, even Taihe and Chen couldn't help but take a few steps forward.
Qi Yan casually responded and walked to the window to look at the night view outside.
As Bai Tianshi darted away like a giant rat, the strange thunderous phenomena in the sky gradually dissipated, restoring a normal night to the people of Shangshu.
However, compared to these things, Qi Yan was thinking about something else.
"I originally planned to force Manager Zheng up the mountain so he could settle his old grudges in the martial arts world ahead of time, but what kind of clever idea did that damned Lao Li have?"
The current situation is giving Qi Yan a headache: "If things continue like this, the glory days of Wangshuiping will repeat themselves. Doesn't that mean we're back to the old ways of Sui Lao Er... No, I've made a stupid mistake!"
Qi Yan suddenly realized what was happening and clenched his fist, punching his palm hard.
His move to collect Sui Lao Er's pieces, seemingly to disrupt Sui Lao Er's rhythm, actually carries the risk of being outmaneuvered by the opponent.
After all the back and forth, it all boils down to wrestling with the second oldest on the chessboard.
This is clearly using one's own weaknesses to attack the other party's strengths.
Once she realized what was happening, Qi Yan smiled again.
He turned his head and his gaze swept over everyone in the inn, finally landing on Qi Lin:
"Little sister, you're in for a solo mission now."
Inside Shangshu City, Bai Tianshi ran a long way before turning back to see that Qi Yan hadn't followed, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He was genuinely scared now and didn't dare to act recklessly in front of Qi Yan.
This guy was truly ruthless when it came to hitting people. As he swung the stick, several terrifying auras locked onto him, leaving him no choice but to grit his teeth and take the beating.
"Qi Yan has returned. I can't interfere with Nian and Xi's affairs anyway. Let's go back and discuss it further."
Having made up his mind, Bai Tianshi was about to continue forward when he suddenly noticed a familiar presence approaching from the street.
His face turned serious.
An elderly man dressed in the official robes of the Yan Kingdom slowly walked into Bai Tianshi's line of sight.
The old man had white hair and beard, and a pair of black dragon horns on his head. He had his hands behind his back and walked with a calm and unhurried pace. Without any deliberate gestures, he exuded a natural sense of nobility cultivated from years of being in a high position.
"Master Bai Tian, it's been a long time," the old man greeted him.
Bai Tianshi gazed at the old man before him and slowly nodded:
"Yes, Your Excellency."
Chapter 852 Master Bai Tian, you can't rest now!
The Grand Tutor revealed a faint smile, which eased the sternness in his expression and made him appear more amiable.
However, Bai Tianshi did not show any negligence because of this. After answering, he remained quiet and waited for the Grand Tutor to continue speaking.
"I have already asked someone to send you medicine from the capital. You've worked hard this time."
Grand Tutor slowly walked up to Bai Tianshi: "You no longer need to confront Qi Yan directly."
"It seems the Grand Tutor is already prepared?" Bai Tianshi asked.
To his surprise, the Grand Tutor's smile vanished, and he shook his head, saying:
"Facing Qi Yan, any preparation is futile. I don't know if his strength has exceeded the limit of Yan Kingdom's constraints, but I can be sure that the benefits of restraining Qi Yan are completely disproportionate to the costs."
"Is the Grand Tutor not going to take responsibility?" Bai Tianshi exclaimed in surprise. "This is the Yan Kingdom! We must be responsible for the millions of people of the Yan Kingdom!"
The Grand Tutor reached out from behind his back and gently pressed down on his chest, offering words of reassurance:
"Your willingness to do this is a blessing for the Yan Kingdom, but you must not go to extremes in anything you do."
The Yan Kingdom refuses to even expel the giant beasts because they live within its borders but do not obey the true dragon's mandate and do not bring blessings to the people of Yan Kingdom.
