Qi Yan put down his teacup, smacked his lips, and said with dissatisfaction, "Wei Lao Er, how could you try to fool us with such shoddy tea leaves?"
Wei Yanwu: “…”
He was overwhelmed by suffocating pain.
The Grand Tutor took a sip of tea and asked疑惑地问道, "Why do you think that? Have you had better tea here before?"
“That’s right. The tea I had at his place last time wasn’t much better than this one, but it was definitely better.”
Qi Yan spoke with such conviction that his expression instantly convinced the Grand Tutor of most of his words.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Wei Yanwu meaningfully.
Even as a high-ranking official, Grand Tutor, he couldn't just drink this tea whenever he wanted, yet Wei Yanwu had such an ability.
More importantly, Wei Yanwu had the ability to obtain good tea, but he kept it hidden and never secretly used it to treat himself.
The bond between teacher and student has faded.
Wei Yanwu felt the Grand Tutor's gaze upon him, and his heart trembled.
He turned to Chen for help, hoping she could explain things to him.
Unfortunately, after Qi Yan came in, Chen's attention was entirely focused on Qi Yan, and he didn't even glance at his uncle.
Wei Yanwu's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, was completely dead.
On the contrary, Qi Yan, who had a big mouth and no self-control, took the initiative to complain to the Grand Tutor:
"Tell me about Wei Lao Er. He serves this kind of tea to his guests. It tastes very weak, with only a little bit of sweetness, and there's hardly any tea foam."
Without tea froth, is it still tea? I seriously suspect this is some cheap beverage he concocted using technology and ruthless techniques!
The Grand Tutor was somewhat bewildered.
For a moment, he couldn't tell whether Qi Yan's remarks were a joke or a serious statement.
Wei Yanwu was so heartbroken he could hardly breathe. He reached out to grab the teapot in front of him, but Qi Yan slapped his hand across the back.
"What? You still want to destroy the evidence?" Qi Yan raised his eyebrows and glared at Wei Yanwu. "You're such a high-ranking official, yet you're so stingy every day. You're ruining the etiquette of Yan Kingdom!"
Wei Yanwu wanted to cry but had no tears.
Given your personality, Qi Yan, and all the mess you've made over the years, you think you can talk to me about etiquette?
Do you even have those two words in your head?
"Okay, stop making trouble."
At this moment, the Grand Tutor finally spoke up to smooth things over: "These are all minor matters, there's no need to argue. Qi Yan, I will teach him a lesson, so please don't hold it against him for my sake."
This time, it was Qi Yan's turn to be surprised: "You're really going to teach Wei Lao Er a lesson?"
The Grand Tutor nodded without hesitation.
His credit card was maxed out!
Although the culprits were Qi Yan and my own carelessness, sometimes we must learn to be lenient with ourselves and strict with others.
Qi Yan is someone you absolutely cannot offend, and you absolutely cannot tolerate being mistreated.
The Grand Tutor turned his gaze to Wei Yanwu.
"My card account is actually registered with the Ministry of Revenue, which means the funds were allocated from the national treasury."
The Grand Tutor, holding his teacup, casually uttered words that made Wei Yanwu's eyelids twitch: "Because I was planning to go to Ursus, although I have been delayed for some time while waiting for the Mirror Beast to be refined, fortunately I have not yet formally sent a letter to Ursus, so this matter can be postponed for a little while."
However, I really don't have the time or energy to go back and argue with the people in the Ministry of Revenue, so I still need someone to handle these matters for me.
Wei Yanwu gritted his teeth inwardly.
The Grand Tutor raised an eyebrow, realizing that Wei Yanwu was truly audacious, daring to use such a double entendre in front of him.
Then don't blame him, as the teacher, for disregarding the teacher-student relationship!
"This matter is not urgent. I have more important matters to attend to," the Grand Tutor said leisurely.
"Grand Tutor, please speak freely," Wei Yanwu said, seemingly resigned to his fate.
Anyway, he only has to endure these last few days. After Master Qi Yan and the Grand Tutor leave, Wei Yanwu will eventually be able to rise again!
The Grand Tutor did not rush to answer, but instead turned to look at Qi Yan:
"According to the information I received from the Arctic, you should head south to Iberia next."
"I'll be passing through Lateran on the way. Considering the upcoming World Summit, I still need to make the trip," Qi Yan replied.
“That’s exactly what I was saying.” The Grand Tutor’s gaze returned to Wei Yanwu. “This is a grand event and a rare opportunity for exchanges among nations. Yan needs to reveal some of the current crises to the other nations.”
This matter cannot be taken lightly, so I have decided to send Lord Wei personally. It would also be convenient for him to travel with Qi Yan and have someone to look after him.
"I'm fine with it," Qi Yan readily agreed.
Wei Yanwu's expression, however, was somewhat stiff.
But the Grand Tutor did not stop speaking: "Of course, according to etiquette, we cannot let Qi Yan do extra work for no reason and take care of someone. Wei Gong will take care of your expenses along the way."
"Then I'll have to plan my route carefully."
Qi Yan instantly became serious and began to think about where he should travel to maximize his benefits.
Logically speaking, Wei Lao Er is quite capable when he gets serious, and his mind is generally sharp. Should we go around leaving him in Iberia to help Kal'tsit with her worries, and then have the Witch King lead the way to Laterano to see the Little Liberians?
A low chuckle suddenly broke through Qi Yan's thoughts.
Everyone looked over at the same time and found that Wei Yanwu's eyes were glazed over, and bursts of somewhat manic laughter came from his mouth.
Before anyone could react, Wei Yanwu suddenly refocused his eyes and looked at Chen Zhenren, saying:
“I plead guilty and I want to turn myself in. I’ve received a lot of bribes over the years, enough to keep me in prison for seventy or eighty years.”
“…Hmm.” Chen scratched his head and replied just as seriously, “According to the laws of the Great Yan Dynasty, you won’t be serving seventy or eighty years…most likely life imprisonment.”
Wei Yanwu: “…”
My dear niece, your uncle was just trying to play the victim, but you really want to ruin your uncle!
"Okay, stop making trouble."
The Grand Tutor spoke up again to smooth things over.
He stood up, casually picked up the teapot on the table, and said, "That's settled then. I have a lot of things to do now, so I won't chat with you any longer."
With that, he turned and left gracefully, waving his sleeves and leaving not a single pot of tea behind.
The people in the office looked at each other, and for a moment no one knew what to say.
Chen was only thinking about how to find out all of Wei Yanwu's crimes. Qiu Bai, who came with Qi Yan, belatedly realized that things had completely deviated from his goal. Qi Yan, on the other hand, was calculating how to fully exploit Wei Yanwu's value.
Wei Yanwu suddenly broke the silence: "Do you think if we crashed the Dragon Gate into the capital of Great Yan, we'd still be able to get back to attend the International Summit?"
Qiu Bai: ? ? ?
"No, what are you going to do?!" Qi Yan leaned back tactically.
“If I go back directly to the Ministry of Revenue and tell them to balance the accounts, they definitely won’t agree,” Wei Yanwu said sincerely. “But if you personally confront them and leave them bewildered, they will be willing to settle the accounts on their own.”
"Hey TerraWei Shuren, are you trying to pull the demolition effect on me?"
Qi Yan said angrily, "And what do you take me for, Qi Xiaobai? If I were to be anyone, I'd be the Great Sage Equaling Heaven. Why would I be crazy enough to become the Great Sage Who Settles Accounts?"
"After this is done, I will introduce you to some of the most famous ladies from prominent families in our Great Yan."
Where is the map?
Chapter 935 Natural Vision
Ultimately, Qi Yan and Wei Yanwu's plan failed to materialize.
The reason for this was that Wei Yanwu's precious desk was cleanly and efficiently cut into pieces by a Ms. Chen, who wished to remain anonymous, wielding a famous sword that claimed to be able to cut through all magic.
Meanwhile, Qi Yan, amidst Wei Yanwu's repeated pleas to "voluntarily cover the rear," fled the office with Qiu Bai without looking back.
He even went so far as to kindly move a large stone sculpture from the corridor to block the door after he escaped.
After confirming that he was safe, Qi Yan patted his chest and let out a long sigh of relief:
"horrible."
Qiu Bai chimed in from the side, "Yes, it's truly terrifying."
Before Qi Yan could react with surprise, Qiu Bai began to speak to himself:
"Miss Chen's swordsmanship is flawless, with each strike imbued with unwavering determination. This is not a skill that can be acquired through mere hard work and practice. It seems Miss Chen has experienced much, for her swordsmanship contains insights and resolve that I cannot comprehend..."
As they were talking, Qiu Bai suddenly became thoughtful, his whole being lost in thought as if no one else was around.
Qi Yan was a little confused. He reached out his finger to poke Qiu Bai, but his wrist was immediately grabbed.
A shadow guard appeared beside him at some point, silently shaking his head to indicate that he should not disturb Qiu Bai in this state.
Qi Yan obediently stepped aside and whispered to the shadow guard:
"What's wrong with her?"
The shadow guard exclaimed in a low voice, "This young lady truly lives up to her reputation as a disciple of a grandmaster. She merely observed the sword intent of others and immediately gleaned her own unique insights from it."
Qi Yan gasped repeatedly upon hearing this.
But soon he was peering out of the corridor window, looking around curiously.
The shadow guard, somewhat confused by his reaction, asked, "What is Lord Qi Yan looking at?"
"Isn't it supposed to be an epiphany?" Qi Yan said matter-of-factly. "Why isn't there any extraordinary phenomenon? At the very least, there should be a couple of claps of thunder, a little rain, or divine light from the sky."
Shadow Guard: "..."
For a moment, he couldn't tell whether Qi Yan was joking or genuinely looked down on this level of enlightenment.
"What Lord Qi Yan said is probably..."
Before the Shadow Guard could finish speaking, thunder suddenly roared across the once clear sky, and thick, dark clouds seemed to appear out of nowhere, instantly taking over the sky. A damp wind filled every street in Longmen.
"No? There really is?!"
The shadow guard was dumbfounded.
He rushed to the window and was shocked to see a fiery red divine light pierce through the dark clouds, turning half the sky into a sea of fire.
Qi Yan and the shadow guard squeezed together in front of a window, both looking excitedly at the strange phenomena in the sky.
These strange phenomena lasted for a full quarter of an hour before slowly fading away. The two looked away with a sense of lingering interest, only to realize that the real culprit was right behind them.
After the two of them waited anxiously for a while, Qiu Bai finally recovered from his state of sudden enlightenment.
She immediately looked at Qi Yan, a glint of light in her eyes:
"Qi Yan, the Grandmaster was right to send me to find you. It seems that you brought me into these matters intentionally. I will never forget your kindness in teaching me!"
What did he do this time?
The shadow guard, unable to contain his curiosity, asked:
"What did Miss Qiu Bai gain from this sudden enlightenment?"
"Actually, the gains were not significant, but I did find some direction," Qiu Bai said modestly.
But upon hearing this, Qi Yan and the shadow guard were both somewhat stunned.
Although people from Dayan generally like to be modest, being too modest can seem hypocritical.
Qi Yan, being outspoken, immediately retorted:
"Stop teasing me. How can you lie like this? The strange phenomena in the sky are almost blinding me, and you still say you haven't figured anything out?"
How did she get involved with strange phenomena?
Just as the three of them were staring at each other in disbelief, the illusory figure of the Witch King emerged from Qi Yan's body and said irritably:
"The strange phenomenon wasn't caused by this little girl; it was because the mirror was successfully forged!"
Qi Yan suddenly realized what was happening, slapped his thigh, and hurriedly rushed outside:
"This is a big event that we should all witness! Let's go check it out!"
Upon hearing the call, Qiu Bai followed without hesitation.
