"You said that person is Marquis Wu'an's White Moonlight?"
"It must be him. I've seen his portrait."
Su Shien was instantly alert: "Where did you see it?"
"In Marquis Wu'an's bedroom, he hung it above his bed."
Su Shien was speechless. No one else would treat the Marquis' Mansion as his own backyard.
With Han Zeyu's ability and gossipy spirit, it would not be surprising for him to appear under the bed of any minister in the middle of the night and collect local materials.
"The Emperor should assign you a job to monitor the ministers' every move."
Han Zeyu curled his lips in disdain: "No, the salary is too low."
He was the one who talked me to death today.
Su Shien covered his chest, endured the heart-piercing pain, went out for a walk, and brought Han Zeli over.
Although An An is young, as a fellow sufferer he is very responsible and followed in with his short legs.
Han Zeyu sat upright with a sharp look in his eyes, and the interrogation began.
"Who took him away?"
"It was that tree demon. I fought four of them alone and held my own, but the demon attacked me by surprise and captured this guy to threaten me."
"Brother Zeli has surrendered, and he even calls the tree demon "Big Brother."
Su Shien touched his chin. This kid is articulate and quick-witted. He is a good seedling.
He's over four years old and hasn't gotten any enlightenment yet, so why not let him do it for you?
Han Zeyu looked at his stupid brother with a smile, while Han Zeli glared at the little guy.
It's not a good idea for him to betray his brothers at such a young age.
"Do you remember the route into the mountains?"
Han Zeli shook his head. He was blindfolded the whole time and the men in black didn't speak, so he didn't get any useful information.
"I heard the sound of water. We must take a boat for part of the journey."
Han Zeyu raised his eyebrows. Take the water route into the mountains?
Little Ma Zhuoan immediately added in a flattering tone, "It's a big ship, not a small one. There are steps at the entrance of the cave."
Han Zeli...
No way, bro! You'll make me look useless.
Han Zeyu stood up and walked towards the two of them.
Han Zeli swallowed nervously, and the little guy hid behind him.
Han Zeyu pulled the person out, held him in his arms, and looked at him carefully.
The little guy straightened his body and tried to lift his feet backwards, for fear that his shoes would dirty the big devil's clothes.
"I think you have good talent. How about becoming my apprentice?"
“I, I…”
Su Shien snatched the child from Yuger's hands and looked how scared he was.
"Go out! He's teasing you!"
The little guy ran away as if he had been pardoned.
Han Zeli caught up with him in a few steps, picked him up and ran together.
Han Zeyu sighed and said, "Once a teacher, always a father. What a wonderful child! He will surely become a talented person in the future and be suitable for my old age."
Su Shien was speechless. "So you still have this in mind? What about Tiezhu?"
"Do you understand what a sense of crisis is? Do you understand what double insurance is? Besides, Tiezhu is a bit old, and An'an is so young!"
The half-new iron pillar at the door broke gently, as if it heard the sound of its own defense being broken.
Ma Zhao brought his son back to the Qianhu residence and immediately started talking to him as soon as he entered the house: "You are so stupid! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, something your father wouldn't even dare to think about, and you actually gave it up?"
"It's not like I'm the only one who's afraid. It's obvious that everyone is afraid of him."
"Why are you afraid?"
"I don't know, but I was really scared. It's the kind that can stop a baby from crying at night."
Han Zeyu, who had ulterior motives, lost his beloved disciple and rolled around on the bed throwing a tantrum.
Suddenly, he was hit by the scroll and immediately revived with full health. He showed it to Su Shien.
Su Shien...
Before I even started to coax her, she recovered on her own, leaving him no room to do anything.
"Eunuch Wang gave it to me. It must have been the Emperor's instruction. Look at what's written on it. Is it some ancient parable saying that I'm the savior, a god sent down from heaven?"
Su Shien unfolded the scroll and took a quick look at it. Although there were a few characters he didn't recognize, he could still understand the general meaning.
"You're overthinking it. This is about the legend of the power of the five elements."
Han Zeyu smiled awkwardly. He was being too sentimental. It turned out that the emperor, who was very cunning, did not force him to be the savior.
Su Shien finally asked, "Do you want to help?"
Han Zeyu asked back: "Do you want me to help?"
Su Shien shook his head: "I hope you are safe."
Han Zeyu threw herself into the arms of her beloved husband and arched her back excitedly. He was so sweet-mouthed, was he trying to kill himself?
"Hehe~ I will still go and help you, within my ability, but I definitely won't give you a chance to remarry, so give up on this idea as soon as possible!"
Su Shien, who was pushed down on the bed, rolled his eyes and said, "I didn't have that intention anyway."
"I bet you wouldn't dare. Now that the atmosphere has been set, how about I invite you to bathe with me?"
Su Shien then remembered that Han Zeyu had joined them in looking for someone as soon as he came back, and he must have not taken a shower since he was so exhausted from the journey.
"Thank you for the invitation, but you should wash it yourself. I always wash it myself every time I leave the Imperial Examination Hall."
Han Zeyu...
This bastard actually holds a grudge.
Half an hour later, Han Zeyu, who had taken a shower, threw herself into her husband's arms again, and they were so affectionate with each other that Su Shien was late for going to the yamen.
It doesn’t matter, he approved leave for himself. This is the advantage of being an official sent abroad.
Han Zeyu was still sleeping soundly, while Su Shien went to ask Abbot Deyun for advice.
As soon as the old monk saw the words he asked, he knew what he was asking.
Since the emperor has made it clear, there is no need for him to hide it.
After explaining the meaning of a few words to Su Shien, he talked to him openly about the contents of the scroll.
The text on the scroll was copied from a stone tablet, which is more than eighty years old and older than he is.
These are what his master told him, hoping that he could solve the mystery of the stone tablet.
On the road of pursuing the truth, too many lives were lost, including his master, uncle, and even himself.
The catastrophe that happened more than ten years ago was something he experienced personally.
The stone tablet records the origin of the power of the five elements, saying that it is a gift from heaven from another world that can give people strength and immortality.
Emperors of all dynasties have been pursuing the way to immortality, and therefore have never stopped exploring the power of the five elements.
Su Shien pulled the corner of his mouth awkwardly. Just as his son Yu Ge'er said, becoming a zombie can give you power, and as long as you don't get shot in the head, you can live forever.
But if you really become a walking corpse, it would be more dignified to be buried in peace.
Master Deyun has been traveling a lot these days. He is not sightseeing, but visiting the fields.
He had Prince Rui's birth date and fortune in his hand, so he told him his fortune. Combining this with the information he got from his visit, he came to a shocking conclusion.
Prince Rui's time is up, and he wants to use the power of the five elements to extend his life or achieve immortality.
Su Shien was stunned for a moment. Prince Rui was only in his early fifties, and his time was coming to an end?
Yu Ge'er had seen him before, but he didn't see anything wrong with him!
