Who is knocking on the door?
The Grand Tutor did not speak immediately.
Qi Lin also remained silent.
"strangeness……"
The person inside the door sounded uncertain: "Did I hear that right?"
As they spoke, the sound of footsteps receding into the distance came from inside the door.
The Grand Tutor looked at Qi Lin, puzzled. When he saw that Qi Lin was deep in thought and seemed poised to break down the door, the Grand Tutor suddenly realized what was going on.
This girl has fallen into her habit of 'not speaking unless Qi speaks' again!
"It's me, open the door," the Grand Tutor hurriedly said.
The footsteps that had been receding into the distance inside the door stopped, and then someone asked in confusion, "What are you? Who are you?"
Grand Tutor: "..."
Yes, this isn't the capital city, and his voice isn't yet widely known.
Having been slightly rebuffed, the Grand Tutor spoke again: "The current Grand Tutor has come to see Vice Minister Ning with important matters to discuss."
The voice from inside the door carried a hint of sneer:
"Where did this swindler come from, daring to try and deceive our Ning family, coming to harass Lord Ning in the middle of the night? Don't you know the relationship between Lord Ning and Lord Liang?"
Believe it or not, I'll send you, you old liar, to jail for a good reformation!
Chapter 855 Bai Tianshi: I want to escape, but I can't~
The Grand Tutor's face darkened.
Today, more unexpected things happened to him than he had in his entire life combined.
It's one thing to be humiliated by Qi Lin, since he can't afford to offend her brother.
But when did you, a mere errand boy in the Ning family, become so arrogant in front of my Grand Tutor?
The Grand Tutor took a breath, stepped back, and whispered to Qi Lin:
"Please don't hurt anyone, otherwise it will put me in a difficult position with your brother."
Qi Lin didn't reply, and raised her hand to push the door open.
Suddenly, the gate of the Ning residence was opened from the inside, and a man dressed as a steward peeked out from the crack in the door:
"What are you muttering about outside the door, you old liar... Holy crap, Grand Tutor!"
Realizing his slip of the tongue, the steward was startled and immediately opened the doors wide, breaking out in a cold sweat.
"Grand Tutor, I was unaware that it was truly you who personally graced the Ning residence. I know my mistake, and I deserve punishment!"
As he spoke, the steward prepared to kneel down and kowtow to beg for mercy.
This lightning-fast apology startled the Grand Tutor, but he quickly recovered.
This steward probably didn't really know him, but since he was working at the Ning residence, Ning Ciqiu must have specifically shown the portraits of important officials of the court to the servants of the residence.
Seeing that the misunderstanding had been cleared up, the Grand Tutor stepped forward and raised his hand to stop the steward from kneeling down.
"It's alright, it was my late-night visit that was a bit abrupt." The Grand Tutor didn't take these trivial matters to heart, and instead breathed a sigh of relief.
If possible, he still didn't want Qi Lin to take action.
The manager, still shaken, repeatedly said he dared not, and then stepped aside to let the two of them into the room.
"We won't bother you by going in. We've only come to see Minister Ning to take care of some business," the Grand Tutor said, waving his hand in refusal.
The steward looked troubled and said in a trembling voice:
"Grand Tutor, Lord Ning went out not long ago."
"Going out so late, are you going to Lord Liang's residence?" the Grand Tutor asked.
The manager's expression was somewhat strange.
Previously, he had assumed the person outside the door was a charlatan, and had been quite open about his words. But now that he realized the person was the Grand Tutor himself, he dared not gossip about certain things.
The Grand Tutor chuckled and said, "It's alright, we can just go to the Liang residence again."
What does Miss Qi Lin think?
Qi Lin turned away in silence.
The Grand Tutor waved to the anxious steward and followed Qi Lin's steps.
The old man and the young man hadn't gone far when they spotted a familiar figure on the street.
"Master Bai Tian, why are you still here?" the Grand Tutor asked first.
Bai Tianshi clearly did not expect that after the Grand Tutor had given him instructions, he would still have the leisure to stroll around the streets.
The two bumped into each other again. Bai Tianshi coughed and explained:
"I just went to handle the task assigned by the Grand Tutor, and now Jiuzhan is already on his way to the mountains."
Speaking of which, I just met Minister Ning traveling with a skilled warrior in a straw raincoat. They said they were going to retrieve Jiang Feng. Was this also arranged by the Grand Tutor?
The Grand Tutor smiled and said, "It was Qi Yan's arrangement. It seems that Qi Yan still cares about Miss Qi Lin and can't bear to let her run around outside in the middle of the night."
Qi Lin glanced at the Grand Tutor.
She found the old Grand Tutor too talkative and annoying, and he was always misunderstanding things, but she loved hearing this sentence.
Bai Tianshi looked left at the Grand Tutor and right at Qi Lin, puzzled, and asked:
"Grand Tutor, what important matter are you discussing with Qi Yan's sister?"
"Perhaps I should excuse myself so as not to hold you both up any longer."
The Grand Tutor stopped the other man, saying, "You must come up the mountain with us too."
"Do I absolutely have to climb this mountain?"
Bai Tianshi's face fell.
To avoid facing Qi Yan directly, he shamelessly pushed the matter aside, even at the cost of being chased and beaten by sleeping beasts in the middle of the night. Now, the Grand Tutor's words have dragged him back into the mess, so wouldn't he have gotten another beating for nothing?
Wait, why did he say "again"?
Years, covered in dust, climbed back onto the plank road from the ravine and immediately saw Qi Yan and Xi together, one digging a pit and the other carving a monument.
Chen and Wu You and the others looked gloomy and kept their distance, fearing that any trouble that might happen later would affect them.
Looking around, Nian had a bad feeling.
She first looked at Qi Yan, who was carving words on a stone with a knife, then walked over and looked closely.
'My friend, the best director on this land, a seasoned hotpot enthusiast, one of the founders of Dongfeng Express, a rare and wonderful older sister, and now, at the tomb of Nian.'
Year:"……"
Qi Yan suddenly nudged Xi, who was digging a hole, with the scabbard of his sword and asked:
"Should the birth and death dates be written on the tombstone?"
"Write it down, do you even need to ask?" Xi said disdainfully.
"How is the character '卒' (zu) written?" Qi Yan asked in a trembling voice.
"Alright, stop what you're doing and help me dig the hole first. I'll personally inscribe the name for the year later."
Xi stopped digging the hole, straightened up to stretch her back, and happened to turn her head to see Nian, whose face was so dark that it almost blended into the night.
"Hey, you're back!" Xi greeted him with a bright smile.
"Yes, my dear sister, I've crawled back from hell!"
Every word of the year seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.
Xi paused for a moment, then suddenly reminded Qi Yan:
“Did you hear that? My rare and wonderful sister said that her epitaph should include the title of Legendary Climber.”
“Easy... but how do you write the character ‘攀’?” Qi Yan uttered a sound as strong as the square of “丈育”.
"Good good!"
Nian laughed angrily: "Is this how you two treat me? If I had come back even a little later, would you have already booked the banquet for me?"
Qi Yan hurriedly spoke up to comfort him:
"Don't worry, I've already persuaded Xi to put aside her reclusive nature and go to Baizhao in the capital to find your younger brother."
With him in charge, he guarantees this banquet will be a resounding success!
Nian's anger instantly turned to joy: "If my little sister were to step in, she might actually be able to persuade my little brother to cook for me!"
"Wait for me, I'm going to find a higher place to jump again, and try to kill myself."
"let me help you!"
Xi immediately summoned a scroll and opened it in front of Nian, revealing a bottomless abyss in the scroll that seemed to swallow one's soul.
"what!!!!"
Amid Xi's screams, Nian snatched the scroll and tore it to shreds in front of Xi.
“I think it’s because you, the one everyone dotes on, are in trouble that my little brother can turn his grief and anger into strength and use all his skills,” Nian Wei said with a smile.
Just as the two sisters were about to start fighting again, Qi Yan suddenly spoke up:
"If something happens to both of you, will I be able to have two meals a day?"
Year:"……"
evening:"……"
The two sisters suddenly panicked, put aside their differences, and hugged each other tightly.
With a broad smile, Qi Yan, carrying Zheng Qingyue's frost blade, approached the two sisters step by step. The two sisters retreated accordingly, gradually pressing themselves against the stone wall of the plank road near the mountain.
Qi Yan drew his frost-covered blade, its edge gleaming coldly in the night.
Just then, an angry shout suddenly came from the mountain.
"Hey! Stop it, you little thief! How dare you hurt someone!"
Qi Yan turned his head and looked, but before he saw the newcomer, he saw a plain bamboo carrying pole, slightly bluish, falling heavily on his head.
In that instant, time seemed to stand still for a moment.
Qi Yan had no time to dodge, nor did he even think of dodging; instead, his head went straight towards the direction from which the carrying pole would fall.
"You dare to launch a sneak attack? I'll make sure you can't even pull up your pants today, even if I, Qi Xiaobai, am the PhD's biological father!"
Chapter 856 Terra's New King of Wrestling
The carrying pole fell, but not completely.
It hovered half an inch above Qi Yan's head, the ripples of wind blowing Qi Yan's white hair, and the carrying pole itself made a slight creaking sound.
With a palm strike, a fan, and a red-tipped sword, three figures simultaneously blocked Qi Yan's path, jointly preventing the incoming carrying pole from striking him.
The three of them, Taihe and his companions, couldn't help but show surprise as they felt the force coming from the carrying pole.
Even though the carrying pole posed no threat when the three of them worked together, they could all clearly tell that if any one of them were to fight the newcomer alone, they would inevitably end up in a sorry state.
"Are there any accomplices?"
Master Shang put away his carrying pole and his gaze swept over Qi Yan and the others like lightning.
"Hmph, you still dare to be so arrogant now that you've seen through it? You're pretty brave, aren't you?"
Qi Yan peeked out from behind the three of them, his face contorted with rage: "Come on, hit me! Shoot me on the head!"
"shut up!"
Unable to stand Qi Yan's bouncing around, Chen jumped up, tucked Qi Yan's head under his arm, and forcibly dragged him aside.
Taihe seized the opportunity and quickly spoke up:
