The three of them pretended nothing had happened. Heng Ye and Heng Chen went back to pack their bags and look for the three flowers on the top of their heads. Shangguan Qingyue went back, took out the divine root, and strolled around the yard, intending to find a place to hide it deeper.
But as the saying goes, you don't have to worry about thieves stealing, you have to worry about thieves thinking about it.
Since it is unavoidable to be stolen, then...
Shangguan Qingyue smiled as he cut the divine root into pieces and had Hong Xing throw it into the Gongchi pool in the princess's mansion.
【Ha ha ha ha……】
Then the little guy happily went to find his mother!
Hong Xing, who was entrusted with an important task, grabbed a purse full of broken ropes and went to Gongchi, the most remote part of the princess's mansion.
As soon as I got close, the stench made me want to vomit.
As summer arrives, flies and insects are flying around everywhere.
The huge Gongchi was filled with three days' worth of excrement and urine from hundreds of people in the princess's mansion. After three days, a special person took it to the farm to be used as fertilizer.
Originally, the wealthy families collected their night-blooming incense once a day and destroyed it, but one day, the stingy Mr. Tao said that it was too wasteful and it would be better to save it and use it as fertilizer for farmers.
When Emperor Jianxi heard this, he thought it was a good idea and approved it. So Gongchi was built in the capital. It was a square house. To prevent the stench from overflowing, only a trough and a door were left at the bottom. On weekdays, night incense was poured from the trough, and the door was opened when it was transported away.
Gongchi was guarded by someone, and they were a little surprised to see a grown-up girl like Hongxing coming. Hongxing thought about Shangguan Qingyue's instructions, and asked the guard to open the door a little. Hongxing held her breath and scattered the broken rope into Gongchi like bait.
Heng Lin was about to go out for a walk to relax, but was suddenly pulled into an alley. He took a closer look and his brows lit up with joy. He called out, "Xitang?"
Goddess Xitang looked at Heng Lin, tears in her eyes, her longing overflowing with words, "Master Divine Ancestor!"
She was about to pay her respects but was stopped by Heng Lin.
"No need for empty formalities!"
Goddess Xitang looked at Henglin's pale appearance and stretched out her hand to touch his face, but Henglin dodged. Goddess Xitang then realized something and frowned to apologize, "God Ancestor, please forgive me. Xitang is just... Xitang feels sorry for him."
Heng Lin shook his head at her, a little anxious. "Now is not the time to talk about this. Since you are here, the divine realm must have received the news. Why are you here alone?"
When this matter was mentioned, Xitang's expression suddenly turned cold. She said angrily, "It's because of those cowards who are unwilling to come!"
She smiled bitterly, "I wanted to provoke them, but they changed their minds. I am insignificant and my words carry little weight. I was concerned about the safety of the Divine Ancestor, so I came here alone."
Heng Lin was surprised, "No one wants to come?"
This shouldn't be the case...
If you don’t want to come, then don’t come. It’s useless anyway.
Xitang concealed her guilty conscience. Actually, all the Shinto people believed her and wanted to come, but she suddenly thought that if they all went, her importance would not be revealed.
She must make good use of this opportunity and become the most important woman in the heart of Henglin Divine Ancestor!
So, she found a reason to ask them to stay put and wait for her news.
The group of people were also happy because entering the Hetu Luoshu also had risks, so they just avoided it if they could.
Xitang changed the subject, "Don't worry, Divine Ancestor. I came here this time and brought good things with me."
Xitang pulled out a bottle, narrowed his eyes and said sinisterly, "This is Qilin's blood essence, extremely poisonous. If ordinary people from the Six Paths took it, they would be reduced to ashes in an instant. If that little devil took it, he would be seriously injured if not killed."
Heng Lin stared at the bottle of Qilin blood, his eyes dark. After a while, he took it and whispered, "To be on the safe side, you must help me return to my place first. Do you still have the divine power to find my divine root?"
Looking for the divine root?
It’s a small matter!
Xitang smiled confidently, "Xitang will definitely live up to your mission!"
After the two finished talking, they went their separate ways.
Xitang was walking when he suddenly disappeared on the street.
On the second floor of the teahouse, Shangguan Chengjing rubbed his eyes in shock. Was he dazzled? How could he see someone suddenly disappear?
Just as he was wondering, someone behind him called out, "Zhai Jingxuan!"
Shangguan Chengjing turned around and saw Zhai Jingxuan and Gao Qi looking at him.
He felt upset when he saw Takaki's sneaky eyes.
No, Takasaki has nothing to do?
Haunting Zhai Jingxuan and him all day long?
They are an engaged couple, so what's his deal?
What a lack of vision!
Shangguan Chengjing sat over, and the three of them formed a corner, no one close to each other. Shangguan Chengjing said calmly, "Master Gao, don't you have to go to the Imperial College today?"
Gao Qi glared at him, then looked at Zhai Jingxuan guiltily, as if blaming him.
"Isn't it okay to say this in front of... Chengjing?"
The worst thing is that I care about Shangguan Chengjing’s studies in front of him!
Takaki felt so tired. He didn't want to disappoint the girl's love, nor did he want to cheat on his good brother.
Zhai Jingxuan sat there with a look of despair.
Why……
She and Gao Qi had just found a good place and were about to talk things out when Shangguan Chengjing arrived.
She saw it.
They are true love.
You bastards!
Shangguan Chengjing sneered when he heard this. Gao Qi, this kid, even skipped classes because of Yin and Yang. How could he be the same as him?
He studies martial arts!
On the surface, he is as unlearned as him, but secretly he has learned everything from his father about swords, spears, axes, halberds, hooks and forks!
He learned secretly!
Gao Qi also didn't expect that Shangguan Chengjing's whole life's intentions were all put on him.
Shangguan Chengjing said deliberately, "Learning those pedantic poems and writings all day long is so boring! I don't want to learn them, even if you kill me I won't learn them!"
Gao Qi was surprised. He didn't expect that "Zhai Jingxuan" looked bookish but didn't like poetry and books. No wonder Cheng Jing liked her.
He rubbed the calluses under the table, which had been rubbed from staying up late to write articles, and said bitterly in front of Shangguan Chengjing, "Great minds think alike. None of us three like to read!"
Zhai Jingxuan: …
Stop talking nonsense, I’m the top scholar in Qingbai Lane!
Knock knock!
"Master, Master Gao, tea is here."
The waiter set out plates of exquisite refreshments and then walked out.
Gao Qi picked up a piece and was about to put it in his mouth, but was stopped by Shangguan Chengjing.
Shangguan Chengjing snatched the cake from his hand and threw it onto the plate, his tone blaming him with a hint of concern, "Have you forgotten that eating green plums will make you sick?"
Gao Qi looked at Shangguan Chengjing deeply, and the emotion in his eyes could no longer be suppressed.
She...she even found out that he couldn't eat green plums.
Help, she was too crazy about him.
In this world, besides his mother, his grandmother, and his maternal grandmother, she is the fourth woman who cares for him like this!
Takaki felt a desperate urge.
Shangguan Chengjing was still drinking tea and eating cakes foolishly, and occasionally recommending them to Zhai Jingxuan.
Zhai Jingxuan ate absentmindedly, always feeling that something was wrong in the atmosphere.
Finally, the three of them had enough and left the teahouse. Gao Qi sent Shangguan Chengjing away and said to Zhai Jingxuan, "Chengjing, I see that you don't treat Miss Zhai as the rumors say..."
"That's right! Because the rumors are false!"
"Miss Zhai and I have no friendship at all!"
