Zhao Yuanji stood up.

Then he heard his father say, "Please entertain these two immortal masters for me. I am tired and need to go practice martial arts."

This was already an order to expel him. Zhao Yuanji frowned, but could only lower his head and say, "Yes."

Pei Yu looked at the boy beside him anxiously, but he didn't expect Xu Qingyan to just give him a simple look.

She didn't know what this young man was planning.

So restrained.

Even if others look down on you, can you still bear it?

Are you a turtle?!

But soon she noticed that he was holding her wrist and didn't let go.

Pei Yu blushed suddenly.

"snort."

He snorted coldly and pulled his hand away.

The king, who was halfway through his walk, seemed to suddenly remember something, stopped and looked at the two of them and said.

"You two immortal masters can also exchange Taoist teachings with these Heavenly Masters. If you are not in a hurry, you can go to the Taoist temple I built for the four Heavenly Masters. Maybe you will get some insights from it."

Xu Qingyan let go of his hand.

But he suddenly said loudly, "I wonder how Your Majesty will deal with the plague."

"Plague? What plague?"

The chubby king looked over in confusion.

Zhao Yuanji was about to speak anxiously.

A Taoist priest came over, stood in front of the king, lowered his head and whispered something.

After this, the king raised his head and said impatiently.

"Natural disasters and man-made disasters are just minor incidents. Aren't they normal? Which country hasn't had a serious illness in a year or two... Yuanji, you handle it well. Don't disturb me while I'm practicing."

Zhao Yuanji seemed helpless and could only nod.

"I understand..."

I didn't even stay in the palace for an hour before the whole thing ended abruptly.

It didn't take long to leave the palace and return to Furong Inn.

Zhao Yuanji said helplessly at the door, "Father has been deceived by the evil spirits now, and those things...cannot enter Father's ears. Do you have any good ideas? Have you figured out anything?"

Pei Yu didn't say anything, and Xu Qingyan also seemed helpless.

"There's nothing we can do, Your Majesty. This matter seems to be a bit complicated. We need to return to the sect to discuss it as soon as possible. We really can't help with the matter here for the time being."

Zhao Yuanji looked at the two of them with a look of regret.

"Is that so... Then I won't bother you two immortal masters."

"Well, Your Majesty, please go back soon. You can't let your body get damaged by working day and night. After all, you are the only hope for the Zhao Tang Kingdom now."

Zhao Yuanji looked bitter.

"I'm afraid I'm powerless..."

After watching Zhao Yuanji leave with regret, Xu Qingyan and Pei Yu returned to the room and immediately closed the door and sat down.

"What do you think?"

Xu Qingyan asked.

Pei Yu frowned, "That emperor...has no luck."

Xu Qingyan nodded, "You saw that too."

"What do you mean I can see it too? Can't you tell who the mountain master is?"

Xu Qingyan smiled.

Indeed, this is what the two of them discovered just now.

The ruler of a country, even a small one, should have good fortune.

This kind of thing can be seen at a glance, it is not like the guarding of immortals against each other that causes the aura to be blurred.

This is the so-called emperor's image, not just a simple facial feature.

"So... that person is not the king of Zhao Tang? Was he replaced?"

Pei Yu frowned and asked.

Xu Qingyan shook his head, "I don't know. If someone has been replaced, who can do it?"

"...Zhao Yuanji?" Pei Yu was in a daze for a moment, "So you lied to him when you said we were going back?"

Xu Qingyan blinked his eyes, "Master Pei Shan reacted very quickly. He understood what I meant so quickly?"

Pei Yu's hair was about to stand upside down out of anger.

"Xu Qingyan, if you keep talking to me in this tone!"

Xu Qingyan smiled and shook his head, "It's just a joke, don't be nervous."

"You really dare to joke around at any time."

"Okay, let's talk about the plan. We have to be comprehensive. We are definitely leaving the inn today, so where are we going next?"

Pei Yu felt that the other party's question was still an offense.

But after a little thought, she couldn't help but give the answer subconsciously.

“Taoist temple.”

"You're so smart! I'll give you a kiss as a reward."

"Xu Qingyan!!"

"Hahahaha...Okay, let's get ready."

Xu Qingyan immediately put away his cynicism.

Pei Yu's flushed face also faded slightly.

The room suddenly fell silent, as if it could smell some undercurrent flowing at a very fast speed.

Pei Yu had an intuition that once something started, it would be like a herd of wild horses out of control, and there was no way to stop it except to charge wildly.

And in the carriage not far from the inn.

Hu Chen, who was leading the horse, turned back to look at Zhao Yuanji who was silent in the carriage.

"They are leaving, and your plan will fail."

Zhao Yuanji raised his head and gave a completely unfamiliar sneer.

"It's just a lie. They won't leave at all."

"Is it."

Hu Chen didn't seem surprised.

Zhao Yuanji smiled coldly.

"It should be just in time if they are included...but we still have to go earlier than planned. So let's do it tonight. Get ready."

"oh."

Hu Chen's eyes were dull and he looked listless.

The sunset faded away with the carriage.

The wind blew into the night.

The only moon in the sky was quietly covered by dark clouds.

Dark night falls.

I don't know if it's because it's autumn.

The night wind was strangely cool, and the two left Furong Inn at sunset.

They left the city calmly under the setting sun, and left a bonfire not far outside the city.

Then we returned to Xinrang City at night.

Without using Pei Yu's magic weapon, he relied on pure footwork and pure infiltration.

Pei Yu looked at Xu Qingyan in a strange way.

"Even if we leave a bonfire, it would seem too deliberate. And if we send someone to look, it will be obvious."

Xu Qingyan shook his head, "It does seem a bit deliberate, but it's worth it if it can influence the other party's judgment for even a moment. Some things are like this, there is a high probability that they are meaningless, but they must be done."

"Why?" Pei Yu frowned. She was very annoyed that the boy always used a didactic tone to explain things to her.

But sometimes I really have to admit that what he said is a bit illogical.

Xu Qingyan smiled, "It's very simple. This will make me subconsciously feel that my success rate has increased. The sense of security is given by oneself. I hope you will never understand this sentence."

Pei Yu: ???

"What a mess!"

The woman said angrily, but Xu Qingyan asked her to keep quiet.

He pointed to a place not far ahead.

That conspicuous Taoist temple is obviously quite "new". It's not that the shape is new, but you can tell at a glance that it must have been renovated recently. Whether it's the brick walls or the gate, they are all brand new.

"Is this the Taoist temple? It looks very quiet, and there is no one guarding the area."

Xu Qingyan nodded, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Does it seem like you're inviting me into a trap?"

Pei Yu looked at the handsome boy with displeasure, and said, "I think you look like the turtle in the vineyard."

Xu Qingyan blinked his eyes, "Master Pei, can't you say something nice to me?"

"Are you worthy?"

Pei Yu was quite disdainful. If he wanted others to respect him, he should show his corresponding strength, instead of just being a hooligan and making jokes all day long.

Xu Qingyan thought for a moment, "If this thing is accomplished, does it mean that I am worthy of it?"

Pei Yu would never be fooled like that. "What if you didn't put in any effort at all and it was all my credit?"

Of course, I would probably write the same thing in my report back to the sect.

Isn't it natural for seniors to take credit for the achievements of juniors?

The strong will ruthlessly bully the weak.

Xu Qingyan sighed and shook his head, "If Master Pei says so, there's no business to discuss."

"What's the meaning?"

Xu Qingyan looked at Pei Yu, "I originally wanted to discuss with Master Pei. Once this is accomplished, all the credit and any possible spoils will belong to Master Pei."

Although Pei Yu wanted to say that it should belong to him... but there was a difference between something seized and something handed over by the other party.

People are lazy and always prefer things that don't require much effort.

"So what do you have to offer? In exchange for a little favor from me?"

Pei Yu didn't care about his narcissism at this time. Anyway, this bastard liked to talk nonsense, so why shouldn't he be allowed to be arrogant for a while?

Xu Qingyan blinked his eyes, "Master Pei, just spend one night with me."

"Xu Qingyan...!"

"Just kidding, just give me a kiss."

"Oh, so that's it... No, Xu Qingyan...!!"
