Arknights, are you a good person?

The situation at the scene makes one doubt.

"Could it be that Qi Yuan is leading the real dragon to inspect his workplace?"

Croissant knew some social etiquette, and said to himself in confusion, "It's really hard for me to imagine Qi Yuan being so terrified and nervous as he acted as a tour guide for someone in a high position, introducing people all the way here."

"I can't imagine it either." Texas nodded slightly.

"Tsk..."

Hearing the unhappy sigh, everyone turned around to observe and were surprised to find that Wei Yanwu had not left yet.

He was still thinking, lost in thought.

"what happened?"

Wei Yanwu said to himself.

Seeing this, the emperor couldn't help but shake his head, put on his sunglasses and commented sharply: "It's probably useless."

-----------------------------------------

Hundred stoves.

A flash of green lightning passed by the towering palace walls and pavilions that exuded the aroma of pepper and aniseed.

Qi Yuan slowly put down the cocoon in his hand, and with a thought, the green lines loosened immediately, throwing out the lively real dragon.

“It’s nice to have transportation.”

Although it was not his first time experiencing this, the real dragon still clenched his fists in disbelief and marveled.

"It's delivered. I'll leave now."

Qi Yuan didn't plan to stay for long. After confirming that the food had been delivered, he turned around and walked towards the edge of the platform. He couldn't wait to go back and eat the pizza he had packed.

Anyway, the public morality has been paid.

"Come often when you are free."

The real dragon waved his hand and said goodbye to Qi Yuan very eagerly.

After the cooling time was over, thunder and light resounded together, and only silence remained between the palace walls. The silence was like a tide, instantly drowning the only person inside the palace walls.

Zhenlong slowly lowered his arms, his expression not as lively anymore.

"Exhausting."

He turned around and gently sat on the cold dragon chair. He reached into his wide sleeves and gently took out...

A bag of popcorn.

Unable to wait to tear open the wrapping paper, he picked up four with his five fingers and threw them into his mouth one by one.

"It's quite crispy and sweet. It tastes really good."

The real dragon praised repeatedly.

He gobbled up all the popcorn hungrily in a few minutes, as if he was eating some delicious delicacy. After finishing, he gently drew the True Dragon Sword at his waist, and chopped the wrapping paper into the tiniest pieces with one sword. He then scattered the crumbs into the wind, and they disappeared into thin air.

After doing all this, the real dragon felt a little relieved.

He gently stroked the armrest of the chair with carved beams and painted buildings, and sighed softly at the empty hall.

"Soon, I'll be able to leave soon."

-----------------------------------------

Dayan, the north.

To the north of the northernmost Dahuang City, Dayan actually has a vast territory, but in any official document, that place is rarely mentioned tacitly, as if it is tacitly assumed that the fewer people who know about it, the better.

Today, a bolt of lightning broke the silence of the bloody battle here, and there was also a voice of surprise.

"You're here to take my place?"

It was a childish voice, as if coming from a young child.

"Sorry, that's not the case." The voice of the Grand Tutor was calm and dignified.

"Your ancestors didn't come here to replace me, so you came to the north to tease me?" The child's voice was a little embarrassed, and his words were murderous. "I remind you, Master Taifu, I have been fighting in the north for decades, and I am in a very violent mood now. If you say another word, I may not be able to control the fiery fan in my hand!"

"I'm here to ask for advice."

The Taifu's tone was even a little nervous: "Among the three ministers, the Taiwei and I both agree to let Master Zhongyue go abroad for fun. What do you think, Old Heavenly Master?"

"..."

"are you crazy?"

The old Taoist priest was extremely rude and didn't give any face at all.

553: The old Taoist priest steals the tribute

The northern border of Dayan is filled with wind, snow and murderous austerity.

This is a battlefield meat grinder where countless heavenly masters have sacrificed their lives.

However, due to the special nature of the enemy, these heroes died silently and without much publicity. Many people did not even know that such a rotation army existed in the northern border of Dayan.

This army is too important. In theory, it is personally led by the Grand Commandant, but in reality, they are directly led by a group of monster-level celestial masters who have lived for a very long time. The spells of this group of celestial masters are of natural disaster level, and they can even suppress some of the fragments of the year beast. For example, Xi was bullied by the old celestial master without any ability to fight back.

The old Heavenly Master represents the pinnacle of Yan Nation's magic.

"Is there something wrong with your brain?"

At this time, the old Taoist priest crossed his arms and said indignantly, "Step back. You want me to look up at you. My neck is sore. Will you reimburse me for the plaster?"

Her voice is clear and tender, and her figure is short and slender.

The old tutor was already tall and straight, and standing in front of the old Taoist priest, he was like an iron tower, and his long shadow completely enveloped the old Taoist priest.

"You, get back off right now." The old Taoist pointed at the tutor, as if he was scolding a junior.

"alright."

The Master slowly stepped back, and the light once again fell on the old Taoist priest.

The beautiful feathers draped behind her head are a typical feature of the gods and people. I can say responsibly that as long as the old Taoist priest doesn't speak, she is a very cute little loli of the gods and people.

But the Taifu knew very well that the old Heavenly Master was over a thousand years old, even older than his own teacher, the previous Taifu.

Although he knew in his heart that this unruly and childish appearance was to resist the cognitive pollution of the evil demons in the north, after the Grand Tutor took office, he had never seen the so-called true appearance of the old Taoist priest, not even once.

We can only regard her as a child with the power to destroy the world.

This kind of communication is good for everyone, even the old Taoist priest finds it very helpful.

"Stand further away."

The Taifu's concession did not satisfy the old Taoist priest, so she ordered him to step back a few steps. Only when the sunlight shone on every inch of the old Taoist priest's body did she feel satisfied and gently stretched out her fingers comfortably.

"Okay, say what you just said again." said the old Taoist priest.

"The problem of the year beast may not be so urgent. With unremitting efforts, we have found a solution."

The Grand Tutor bowed lightly: "So this key figure, who is also my disciple, wants to let Grandmaster Zhongyue..."

"You fart!"

"Although it is hard to imagine, Qi Yuan is indeed my disciple." The Grand Tutor defended, but seemed a little guilty.

"I don't care who your apprentice is!"

"Even if you go crazy and run to Ursus to take a holy fool as your apprentice, it's none of my business."

The old Taoist priest was so excited that his head was blazing with anger. He was really furious: "I have a problem with the front. Do you think I have been killing enemies in the North for so many years and have not had enough rest, which has damaged my brain?"

"..."

The old tutor lost his temper when he was confronted.

The Holy Fool also refers to the existence of evil demons that the North faces directly, but it is from Ursus. The old Taoist priest of Yan Country pretends to be a child to resist cognitive pollution, while Ursus is more extreme and uses dementia and crazy mumbling to resist pollution.

Such a disciple...Taifu personally thinks that he is not as good as Qi Yuan.

"It is what it is."

The Grand Tutor continued calmly, "If the old Taoist priest doesn't believe it, you can go and investigate it yourself. I believe that Qi Yuan will not let you down."

His tone was full of respect, and the old Taoist priest's irritable eyes turned slightly, and it was very obvious that he was thinking.

"Then...you'll take my shift?"

Her tone suddenly became kind.

The battlefield in the northern border of Yan Country is extremely important. It is basically a rotation of old celestial masters who are immortals. During the rotation period, the status of the old celestial masters is equal to that of the Three Dukes, and everything needs to be discussed.

The Grand Guardian in charge of criminal cases, litigation, and torture was previously held by a fragment of the Year Beast, but she has stepped down on her own during this sensitive period. For something like today, the Grand Tutor, the Grand Commandant, and the old Heavenly Master on duty needed their approval, so the Grand Tutor rushed to the northern demon front in a hurry.

"I would like to take your place in the guard duty for you, old master."

The Grand Master sighed softly, and the old Taoist's expression suddenly turned from sunny to cloudy: "Then tell me..."

"I come!"

Another old man jumped out from behind the Taifu and volunteered.

He was also wearing a black and red official robe, with a very messy beard. He looked as if he had just recovered from a serious illness and was still very fragile.

"General?!"

The old Taoist priest looked puzzled and pointed at the two old men: "I wanted to ask you just now. I heard about the feud between you two back then. What happened today? You came to me and vented your anger with one nostril."

"What did the old master say?"

The general smiled generously: "We are all serving Da Yan. At most, we just have some disagreements on the details. Now that the differences have been resolved, we will of course become united."

"But you..."

"Don't say anything that is not conducive to unity." The old lieutenant had a mysterious look on his face and forcibly interrupted the old Taoist priest's question.

"...?"

So just say nothing and just unite?

-----------------------------------------

Things soon came to fruition.

"The Grand Master is very busy and it is not convenient for him to come to the northern border to guard it, so I will let you, the Grand Commandant, guard it for me for a while."

The old Taoist priest did not hide the suspicion on his face at all.

"Aren't you also busy with affairs of state? Which of the three ministers is not busy with affairs of state?"

"After practice, we have learned the consequences of the general not going to work." The general sighed softly, "That is, there are no consequences. Old Master Tianshi can rest assured."

"How can you be so self-righteous about being a waste?"

Some changes must have taken place in the officialdom of Dayan that he was not aware of, because the two rivals, the Grand Tutor and the Grand Commandant, actually ran up to him and calmly started to tell crosstalk.

It’s really too...speaking, learning, and singing.

"Then you will temporarily command the Heavenly Master army for me."

The old Taoist priest waved his hand and said, "I will come back as soon as possible after verification. To be honest, I really don't trust your ability as a sickly ghost. You better not die here. Once it is proven that you are lying to me, I will chase you and beat you up."

"Hahaha, tuberculosis is a thing of the past!"

The general was in high spirits and laughed heartily.

The old Taoist priest was speechless, and he felt more and more that these two old guys were colluding to deceive him.

"Just wait for me."

The old Taoist priest grabbed the round fan of fireworks and grasped the Taifu's shoulder confidently: "Take me for a ride quickly."

"We need to go to the northernmost city of Dahuang first." The Grand Tutor said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"That's great. I'll grab some tribute on the way."

The deserted city.
