Chapter 399 Resignation
"Hmm?" Yun Qingqing looked at Ji Wujiang in confusion, thinking that this man was a little crazy.
"Master, you don't know this, but right after you left this morning, the old Taoist priest from the Tianxuan Sect arrived..."
Ji Wujiang recounted how he had tricked Qingpingzi into going to the capital.
"...So what you mean is, even if I go to Tianxuan Sect now, their leader won't be there, and he ran to Dijing to find me because of your words?" Yun Qingqing raised her eyebrows and looked at him with a smile.
She found it somewhat amusing. This man was known as the contemporary ancestor of Xuanmen, but his personality didn't act like that of an old senior at all.
"Uh..." Ji Wujiang touched his nose, "Then I'll send someone to tell them to bring Qingpingzi back right away. It should still be in time..."
"No need. I don't have time to deal with those chores lately anyway, so let's put it aside for now." Yun Qingqing stood up calmly, "I'll lend you this tower to retreat for a few days. We'll discuss everything after I come out of retreat."
"You want to go into seclusion?" Ji Wujiang was stunned. "Why are you so anxious to do so?"
Yun Qingqing's face was pale:
"Nothing, I just got some good raw materials and plan to refine something."
Ji Wujiang didn't say anything, but his glowing eyes betrayed his thoughts.
Yun Qingqing glanced at him and threw something over:
"You can't digest more, this piece is enough."
Ji Wujiang happily took it in his hand, and after taking a look at it, he became even more excited:
"Master... This is a top-grade refining material! Where did it come from?"
"The remains of the Demon-Suppressing Tower." Yun Qingqing said lightly and left.
Liu Ji Wujiang was left there stunned.
"The Demon-Suppressing Tower...???"
Hiss... I always feel that since the appearance of the Lord, the prospects for cultivation in this world/world have become brighter and brighter.
But... Ji Wujiang looked at the heavy material in his hand and sighed softly.
No matter how bright the future is, it belongs to others.
As for himself, from the day he tied himself up in the Xuanyuan Tower, there was no possibility of him making further progress.
…
Nan Yu.
Late at night, when Nan Zheng entered the study, he saw his own prince sitting at the desk, frowning as he looked at the documents in front of him.
Although he looked like he was reading a document, Nan Zheng, who had followed him for many years, could tell at a glance that the prince's mind was not on the document at all and he was clearly in a daze.
"Your Highness?" he called softly. "Tomorrow's schedule is busy. You should rest up."
Xiao Changheng came back to his senses and rubbed his eyebrows:
"I see. I still have a few documents to deal with. I'll rest after I finish them. You can go down first."
Nan Zheng's eyelids twitched as he looked at the pile of documents in front of him.
There is such a backlog... The prince has never been so inefficient in his official duties. How long has he been in a daze?
He hesitated for a moment, but still advised:
"Your Highness...are you feeling unwell? Otherwise, please rest first."
"I'm fine, please leave." Xiao Changheng glanced at him coldly.
Nan Zheng's heart trembled.
The subtle hostility emanating from the prince was exactly the same as when the princess had not yet entered the mansion and his legs were unable to stand up!
What on earth is happening?
But he also knew that he could not persuade him, so he had to retreat.
Xiao Changheng was the only one left in the room. He stood up and walked to the window, looking at the dark night outside with a serious gaze. His hand subconsciously touched his waist, then stopped.
The Bagua protective stone tablet that was supposed to be there is gone.
He remembered very clearly that in Pingzhou, he went to see the strange formation on a whim and found that the protective stone tablet was still there.
When he woke up, Yun Qingqing was right beside him, so he didn't pay attention to her for a while. It was not until he returned to Nanyu and she left that he suddenly realized that the stone tablet on his waist was gone.
If the stone tablet was lost, she would have discovered it first, so it must have been taken away by her.
Xiao Changheng lowered his head to look at his empty waist, slowly closed his eyes, and clenched his fists.
She took away the protective amulet she had made herself and replaced it with Zhiluo to protect her safety in Nanyu. The meaning was obvious.
"Hello." A charming woman's voice suddenly came from behind.
Xiao Changheng paused slightly, and when he opened his eyes, he had returned to his calm and indifferent state.
He turned his head and looked at Zhiluo calmly:
"What is it?"
Zhiluo sat on the table with her arms folded, her red dress and long hair moving in the wind, and she squinted her eyes and looked at him intently:
"Did you do something to make her angry these past two days?"
Xiao Changheng's eyes darkened slightly. He walked to the table and sat back down. He picked up the document and continued to read it, saying calmly:
"Perhaps. I know nothing about the affairs of the Xuan Sect. Perhaps I did something in the Seven Stars Hall that offended her fellow practitioners."
"What?" Zhiluo was confused. "No, Qingqing is such a person. If you do something unintentionally, she will definitely tell you the truth..."
"Miss Zhiluo." Xiao Changheng interrupted her calmly without even raising his head.
"Hmm?" Zhiluo heard that he had something to say, so she stopped and waited for what to say next.
Xiao Changheng lowered his eyes and said calmly:
"You once said that if there's anything I want to know about Xuanmen, you'll do your best to help me. Do you still mean what you said?"
Zhiluo raised her eyebrows:
"What do you want to ask this time?"
Xiao Changheng picked up a piece of paper and pen and quickly wrote a few words. He pushed it to the front and looked up at her:
"this."
…
…
Yun Qingqing stayed in seclusion for a full ten days this time.
On the third day of her retreat, Qingpingzi arrived in the capital with his disciple Cangqi.
The master and disciple went straight into the palace and met the Emperor of Liang.
In the imperial study.
The emperor was overjoyed and stood up to greet him personally:
"You two Taoist priests have come from afar, please take a seat!"
Most of the people in the Taoist sect in this world think very little of themselves and seldom get involved in worldly affairs. Therefore, a Taoist like Cang Rong, as long as he is willing, can easily be treated as a guest of honor by princes and nobles, or even become a teacher of a country.
Although the Imperial Master had been away for an unknown period of time and had not returned recently, his fellow master had come in person, and the Emperor was naturally delighted.
Qing Ping Zi stroked his whisk, looking like an immortal, and nodded.
"Your Majesty is too polite. This time I came here to personally inform Your Majesty."
"Cang Rong has violated the sect's rules and has been punished. He will be dismissed from his position as the Imperial Master."
"What!" The emperor was stunned.
