The uneasy eunuch was still a little frightened, but he had to agree to His Majesty's decree. He had no choice but to nod silently.
Jian Shiyi and the two followers who never left him galloped through the imperial city on horseback. When the people saw him, they gave way one after another, and the guards did not dare to stop them. After a while, they left the imperial city.
"Master, Your Majesty asked you to find the man in the well in the academy. Why should we leave the city first?"
one of the followers asked.
Jian Shiyi turned around and looked: "The man in the well escaped from the academy. He must have something important to do. If he was in the imperial city, there would be no place for him to hide. If it were me, I would definitely be mediating outside the imperial city. Let's
Just waiting outside the imperial city, even if others are now in the imperial city, won't they be discovered? If he is done with his work, he will definitely find a way to get out of the city and return to the academy. The north gate of the palace is where the academy disciples can come and go freely.
Although the north gate bypasses the main entrance of the imperial city, we can completely observe it from our current position."
"The master is smart. We don't have to look for anyone everywhere. We just need to wait patiently here."
Jian Shiyi smiled and nodded, jumped off the horse, tied himself to a wooden stake, and sat down against it.
"I haven't returned to Dong Chu for many years. In addition to the imperial city, many sects are eager to try in Dong Chu. As the last line of defense for Emperor Shang, there are still many dangerous roads to take."
“I don’t know if coming back this time will be a mistake!”
The followers didn't say much, they just held the swords and sheaths in their hands and sat blankly beside Jian Shiyi.
Jian Shiyi has not developed any habits in the past few years in Xihuan, but he has developed a lot of patience. I don't know how long it will take to do this.
Gradually he leaned against the tree stump and fell asleep.
At this time, in the academy, Zhou Tian hurried to Xu Qingnian's room the next day.
Boom!
Xu Qingnian was still eating scallion pancakes when he was interrupted again, and there were many things on his mind, which made him a little tired for a while. This scallion pancakes just happened to give him peace of mind for a moment.
Unexpectedly, this urgent knock on the door came again, almost making him furious.
"Who!"
He held the hot scallion pancake in his left hand and opened the door with his right hand. When he saw it was Zhou Tian, his temper suddenly disappeared: "Master? Are you looking for me?"
Zhou Tian looked at his left hand and sighed: "Every time I come to see you, you are either on the way to buy scallion pancakes or eating them. I really don't understand what is so good about these scallion pancakes!"
Xu Qingnian put the scallion pancake in his mouth and swallowed it.
"How is Senior Brother doing now? I heard that Master has gone out to do some business, and now you are the only one who can take care of things in the academy. Can you help Senior Brother get better soon?"
Xu Qingnian took a sip of water, patted his stomach and asked doubtfully: "Master, why are you so enthusiastic about Zhang Manman? Are you and he also sworn sworn friends?"
Zhou Tian entered the room and sat at the table, and said anxiously: "Only when the senior brother is well can he tell me what happened when he was in Tianqian Town. Although he has already told it once, I haven't asked him about many details, such as Bai Bai.
How did Ling'er appear? How did he know Zhang Manman's identity, etc..."
Xu Qingnian knew that what Zhou Tian said at this moment was completely an excuse. He just wanted Zhang Manman to get better and go to Bai Linger with him. He knew that Zhang Manman was impulsive. When he mentioned Bai Linger, Zhang Manman
Shou would definitely leave the academy with him. How could such thoughts escape Xu Qingnian's eyes?
He paused and said slowly: "Your senior brother, he was beaten badly by Bai Qinghe. Although his life is not in danger, if he fully recovers, I'm afraid it will take more time. Don't be anxious, young master. I will let you go as soon as possible."
He recovered!"
Xu Qingnian spoke in a smooth tone, which made Zhou Tian very tired.
"Old Xu! You..."
There was no other way, so Zhou Tian had no choice but to turn around and walk out.
I came to Su Xinghe's room again and saw that he seemed to be a little better.
"Lao Su, how are you?"
Zhou Tian asked worriedly, Su Xinghe's eyes were still filled with tears, and he forced a smile: "Thirteen, are what you said the Master said true? Is Senior Bai Qinghe really what he said?
How many things does Master hide from us?"
When Su Xinghe said this, Zhou Tian was a little at a loss.
"Old Su, you know better than me what Master is doing. I have only been in the academy for a short time, but based on what I have learned these days, Master is still very reliable in his work. Are you still doubting Master?"
Su Xinghe was originally relatively small, and he had obviously lost weight in the past few days. He looked very thin, as if a strong wind could blow him away.
"Thirteen, in order for you to successfully enter the academy, Master sent Mr. Hu and Senior Xu, and also allowed you to successfully obtain a divine beast like Lu Wu as a self-defense beast. Now he has taught you the energy of thought, the thought of thunder, and
The soul-eating energy on your body is beyond the reach of ordinary disciples, so don't you wonder why the Master did this?"
Although what Su Xinghe said sounded strange, it was indeed true when you think about it more closely.
This was the first time Zhou Tian was asked this question, and he didn't know how to answer.
"Lao Su, what do you mean by these words?" Zhou Tian felt that there was something in his words and he seemed to know something.
Su Xinghe shook his head: "That's all, that's all, as long as there is no accident with Senior Bai Qinghe, everything will be fine. Why are you coming to me? What's the matter?"
Zhou Tiangang came out of the illusion, and although he felt much relieved, deep down he still wanted to tell Bai Ling'er about Senior Bai Qinghe as soon as possible. He didn't want people from Xuantian Sect to have anything to do with Haotian Pavilion.
Zhou Tian then thought about it and remembered what happened to Xuan Si on the day of the sect's martial arts competition, so he hurriedly asked: "You said you helped me arrange Xuan Si, now tell me, I want to go find him and ask him for details!
"
Su Xinghe looked outside the door and smiled sarcastically: "Now that the entire academy is under lockdown, Master should have told Xu Qingnian when he left that no one was allowed to go down the mountain. Even if he told you where Xuan Si was, what would you do?
go out?"
Zhou Tian frowned and thought for a moment, and then he had an idea: "Don't you always want to find Senior Bai Qinghe? We can go out together. I'll go find Elder Xuansi, and you go find Senior Bai Qinghe. How about that?"
When Su Xinghe heard this, he immediately became interested, stood up with a whoosh, and said to Zhou Tian: "Very good! Very good! When should we leave?"
Because all the disciples are next to the Wuming Water Pavilion, if the Master is here, their every move will be discovered by the Master, but now that the Master is not here, it should be easy to escape Xu Qingnian's vision.
Zhou Tian looked outside the door, then at Su Xinghe's physical condition, and his heart sank: If he left like this, what would happen if Su Xinghe encountered any danger?
Thinking of this, Zhou Tian still didn't want to take Su Xinghe with him.
"Lao Su, this matter needs long-term consideration. I will tell you after I go back and think about it seriously!"
Su Xinghe didn't feel anything unusual. When he said this, Su Xinghe nodded happily: "Okay, I'll wait for your news. Brothers, I believe you will never lie to me!"
Zhou Tian gave a fake smile: "Don't worry, Lao Su, wait for my news!"
After that, he turned around and walked out of Su Xinghe's room. He suddenly saw Wang Ranran at the corner, and he was startled: "Senior Brother Seventh? What are you doing here? Are you lying in the corner and eavesdropping? This doesn't look like your character.
!”
Wang Ranran's behavior made Zhou Tian feel very strange. Since coming to the academy, Wang Ranran has been obsessed with black and white chess pieces and various chess games. Why did he eavesdrop this time?
But what he didn't know was that Wang Ranran's behavior was completely arranged by Xu Qingnian, just because he was afraid that he would do something stupid so that he could know what he was doing at the first time.
Wang Ranran had never done anything like this before. He was caught eavesdropping on the first day.
"Zhou? Oh, no, Thirteen? What are you doing in Lao Ba's room?"
Wang Ranran stuttered a little, which surprised Zhou Tian even more.
"Su Xinghe and I are sworn brothers. Isn't it normal for me to come here? Why are you eavesdropping here? Did Lao Xu arrange for you to come here?"
Wang Ranran felt guilty as a thief, Zhou Tian kept asking, and he kept backing away, unable to even meet Zhou Tian's eyes.
"Senior Brother Seventh, did Lao Xu ask you to spy on me? Are you afraid that I will do something outrageous?"
Zhou Tian's aggressive posture is very much like his father's.
Wang Ranran was a little unable to resist his constant questioning, and said to himself: "It's easy to ask me to use force to resist, but I really can't resist with this kind of language. I really don't know why Senior Xu asked me to do this."
thing!"
Although he was talking to himself, Zhou Tian heard clearly: "What on earth is this Old Xu doing? I asked him to save Senior Brother quickly, but he didn't want to. Instead, he came to spy on me secretly! I'll go find him!"
After saying that, Zhou Tian angrily threw up his sleeves and walked behind Wang Ranran.
"Master, there's no need to look for it, I'm right here!"
Xu Qingnian suddenly appeared next to Wang Ranran, and said with a smile: "Young Master, Master is out on business, and the only one I have to answer to is you. I said I can't let you step out of the academy. I am Master's disciple, and Wang Ranran is also a disciple of the academy.
Your disciple, it is our duty to stop you, and it is our duty to eavesdrop and monitor you. We are also following Master's orders. You can't blame Lao Qi for this!"
Xu Qingnian's words made Zhou Tian feel uncomfortable. Even when his father was alive, he never monitored him like this.
"I just want Bai Ling'er to escape from the control of Haotian Pavilion. What's wrong with this? Xuantian Sect is now in dire straits. As a member of Xuantian Sect, I can't watch Bai Ling'er become a member of Haotian Pavilion."
He is a lackey of the pavilion and doesn’t even know it!”
Zhou Tian's voice became louder and louder, and Xu Qingnian found it difficult to deal with it. On one side was his master's instructions, and on the other was the young master he had served for many years. Being in a dilemma, he sighed repeatedly.
"Haha, what a righteous and awe-inspiring academy disciple. I haven't seen someone like you in our academy for a long time. You have a strong character and can speak righteously. It seems that the master has really recruited a lot of good disciples in the past few years!"
Suddenly a huge roar pierced the sky. Zhou Tian and Wang Ranran were startled. They looked around, raised their heads and looked at the sky again, but could not see anyone.
"who?"
But Xu Qingnian felt a little shaken in his heart at this time. This voice was obviously him!
