Lan Sinian didn't come back until the next day. It had been a long time since he had been separated from Qin Changqing for such a long time. When he returned to the garden, he hugged the queen and wanted to kiss her.
"What are you doing?" Qin Changqing pulled the folder next to him to cover his face and gave him a sidelong glance.
"My dear, one day without seeing you feels like three years. Don't you miss me?" His Majesty the Emperor is affectionate and knowledgeable.
Qin Changqing rolled his eyes and ignored him. "How's it going? Are you having any problems?"
"It's all solved, don't worry, honey. With me here, everything can be solved smoothly." Lan Sinian took the opportunity to kiss him on the face.
Qin Changqing pulled him back into the house and said, "I've chosen a gift for Master. Can you help me take a look?"
"Okay." Lan Sinian agreed happily.
The family made an appointment to visit their master Chen Feng the next day. That night, Qin Changqing suddenly felt a little nervous. He lay in bed for half the night but couldn't fall asleep. Not wanting to disturb Lan Sinian's rest, he quietly got up, put on some clothes and left the bedroom.
The scenery of the Chinese garden was even more exquisite and mysterious under the moonlight. Qin Changqing sat down on the vermilion corridor, staring at the deep blue starry sky above his head in a trance.
He recalled that when he was in college, his master took him under his wing to teach him. The old man was very strict and almost never said a word of praise to him. Even so, Qin Changqing still made the old man satisfied with him from the bottom of his heart with his talent and hard work, although he never said it.
If the war had not suddenly broken out, Qin Changqing might have continued to study with him, and occasionally accompanied him as he carried his medicine box around to practice medicine.
Back then, the master treated him almost as his own son, teaching and guiding him in everything personally. The only time he got angry with him was because of Xiao Xu.
At the beginning, Qin Changqing naturally would not let others know the secret that Xiao Xu was born by him. It was only when his master Shen Feng blamed him for abandoning the child to someone else and forced him to tell him who the child's biological mother was that he learned this shocking fact. Even though Shen Feng had been practicing medicine for many years and occasionally heard rumors about men giving birth, he had never seen it with his own eyes.
However, Shen Feng was a medical graduate, so he naturally wouldn't look at his apprentice differently. After examining him, he was very puzzled because Qin Changqing wasn't the hermaphrodite as rumored. He was a perfectly normal male without any extra female organs in his body. Both the master and the apprentice couldn't understand why, and this was a mystery that had never been solved in their hearts.
It was not until Qin Changqing went to the empire that he began to have more doubts in his heart. Could it be that the problem actually lies with Xiaoxu's other father, Ahua?
As he frowned and thought, he subconsciously touched the cinnabar mole on his wrist. What is the connection between Ahua and the empire?
"Can't sleep?"
The sudden voice pulled Qin Changqing back from his thoughts. He raised his head and saw Lan Sinian standing beside him in silk pajamas.
"Did I wake you?"
"I am a super-class psychic. As long as I want, I can know everything within a ten-mile radius." Lan Sinian said with a smile.
"Then go back and rest. You have to get up early tomorrow." Qin Changqing took his hand and stood up, and the two walked towards the bedroom together.
"My dear, whoever built this corridor is truly talented. The way you were sitting there admiring the moon just now looked like a white-feathered wind god descended to earth."
"Wind God?" Qin Changqing asked doubtfully.
"The Wind God Pterosaurs are naturally peace-loving, and every White-Feathered Wind God is incredibly beautiful. Therefore, the people of the Empire call them messengers sent down from the gods to the mortal world. They are as joyful as the breeze."
Isn't that an angel? Qin Changqing laughed and said, "You're flattering me. I'm just an ordinary human on Earth."
"But in my heart, you are the White Feathered Wind God." His Majesty the Emperor never forgets to express his feelings.
Qin Changqing suddenly thought of something, looked at him curiously, and asked, "There is the White Feather Wind God, so what is the Black Feather? Are they related?" He remembered that the gang that Lan Sinian "worked for" was called Black Feather.
The Emperor, who was speaking eloquently, suddenly stopped talking. Qin Changqing thought he had asked about some taboo topic, so he stopped asking.
Lan Sinian was silent for a moment, then took the initiative to speak: "There are always places in this world where light cannot reach, which is why light is so precious. The white feather represents light, and the black feather represents darkness."
Qin Changqing wanted to ask him what the connection was between him and Heiyu, but then he suddenly remembered the handsome black-haired young man in Kah Castle. He made an association in his mind: Could he be the Black Feather Wind God?
Lan Sinian raised his hand to his lips and kissed it, whispering, "If you want to know about the Wind God Pterosaur Clan, you can ask Qi Feng."
"Qifeng?"
"Yes, he is from the Wind God Pterosaur Clan and is also the White Feathered Wind God."
Qin Changqing was stunned for a moment, then thought of Qi Feng's gentle personality, and thought that if all the Wind God Pterosaurs were like this, it was no wonder that the people of the Empire called them messengers of the gods. Qi Feng did have this trait.
Lan Sinian told him some legends about the eight clans of the empire, including the five major gangs in the empire. Qin Changqing was fascinated by what he heard.
"The five major gangs in the empire, besides the Sharp Knife and Black Feather you already know, the other three are the Poison Insect, the Fang, and the Rose Garden."
"Rose Garden?" Why does this not sound like a gang, but more like a sanctuary of love.
"Well, the leader of the Rose Garden is the Flower Vine Clan. Although the Flower Vine Clan is a neutral faction, they are peace-loving just like the Wind God Pterosaur Clan. However, as I said before, there are always places in this world where light cannot reach. Sometimes, the closer you are to the light, the darker it becomes."
Qin Changqing, who had also experienced great ups and downs in life, nodded in agreement.
Lan Sinian continued, "The poisonous insects are notorious. The Fangs are a branch of the Blood Wolf Clan. They have close ties with the other clans, yet in some ways they exist independently. Therefore, the Empire has only been able to contain them, unable to completely eliminate them."
Qin Changqing lay down on the bed, tilted his head and listened carefully for a while, then suddenly said, "Why are you suddenly telling me this?"
Seeing that he understood the key so quickly, Lan Sinian's eyes flickered with a smile, but soon his brows furrowed again. He looked at him seriously and said, "I may need your help after returning to the empire."
"What's wrong?" Qin Changqing became interested.
Lan Sinian thought for a moment before telling him about Baron Shaman. Finally, he said, "I just received a message from Shen Hai about adjusting his police officers. One of them suddenly developed mania. However, this officer's abilities are above the mid-level. Although people have always believed that those with mid-level and higher abilities are more dangerous when they develop mania, it's also important to know that it's not that easy for them to develop mania."
"So you suspect this has something to do with that Baron Sandman?"
"Well, Baron Shaman was my bodyguard from my childhood to adolescence. When I was about ten years old, something happened and I was captured by... a group of people. I was not rescued until a few years later. Baron Shaman was bestowed with the title by my father, the emperor at the time, because of his outstanding performance in that rescue and the fact that he saved me from almost dying." When Lan Sinian talked about this, his usually bright and clear face seemed to be covered with a layer of mist. Qin Changqing felt that he was a little confused about what he was feeling at the moment.
Qin Changqing subconsciously grabbed his hand, but didn't know what he should say. No one's life is smooth sailing, just like Lan Sinian, who is now strong enough to protect all the people he cares about under his wings, his path of growth is also full of thorns.
Lan Sinian came back to his senses, looked at his hand, and smiled at him. Qin Changqing felt that this smile seemed to be mixed with something inexplicable. He pulled his hand and said, "It's late, go to bed."
"Yeah." Lan Sinian leaned close to him quietly.
After a while, Qin Changqing, who had closed his eyes and was about to go to sleep, grabbed the hand that was causing trouble on him and said through gritted teeth, "If you move again, go sleep in the living room!" He had to see his master tomorrow. Did he have to go with a face that looked like it was made of kidney deficiency?!
His Majesty the Emperor raised his hands in front of him to prove his innocence and said innocently, "My dear, you are wronging me again. Where did I move?"
If Qin Changqing hadn't known that this man not only had both hands and feet intact, but also had eight tentacles, he would have believed him. In just a moment, he felt more indescribable touches moving around his body. He was so angry that he wanted to kill people. He shouted angrily: "Lan, Si, Nian!"
After the door was slammed with a deafening bang, the Emperor, who had just been distressed by the Queen for less than five seconds, was driven out of the bedroom. It was a tragedy!
Lan Sinian lay on the sofa and sighed. Everything about China was good, except for the wife's habit of sending her husband to sleep on the sofa when she got angry. It was truly unacceptable. Of course, he still didn't understand that sending her husband to sleep on the sofa was the least of her problems. Earthlings had even more brutal corporal punishments, like kneeling on clotheslines, keyboards, and circuit boards... As the saying goes, beating is love, and scolding is affection.
In the middle of the night, the tightly closed door suddenly opened. Lan Sinian had his eyes closed and did not open them. He felt someone walk out of the bedroom, cover him with something, and snort lightly above his head before returning to the bedroom.
In the dark living room, His Majesty smiled so hard that his teeth were visible. It seems that he still feels sorry for him! He must love him so much that he can't help himself!
His Majesty the Emperor sighed. "Kissing is good in every way, but she's just too stubborn. Sooner or later, I'll have to find a way to soften her!" His Majesty the Emperor fell asleep contentedly, full of ambition.
The next morning, Qin Xu got up early, dressed, and came out because he knew he had to visit his master. He was surprised to see... He was sleeping on the sofa with his tall body huddled up and feeling wronged, with his eyes wide open and his hands covering his mouth.
Lan Sinian rubbed his eyes and sat up from the sofa. Seeing the little guy staring at him, he waved to him.
Qin Xu leaned over to him curiously and asked, "Did you make Dad angry?"
"No, I think this sofa is quite comfortable to lie on. I want to sleep on it." His Majesty still has to save some face in front of the little guy.
Qin Xu was so smart and sensible that he certainly wouldn't expose his lies. He just nodded obediently.
Lan Sinian thought the little guy was incredibly cute. He picked him up and walked towards the luggage storage area while discussing with him, "I'm going to meet your father's master today. I don't know what to wear. Please help me choose something."
"Okay." Qin Xu is very helpful.
He ended up changing into several outfits, all of which Qin Xu liked, but Lan Sinian himself wasn't quite satisfied. He belatedly began to worry and get nervous. His relatives didn't have parents, so wouldn't his most respected master be like his parents? So, was this his first time meeting his father-in-law?
Lan Sinian's expression was solemn, his chin stroking in a handsome, thoughtful pose. He'd been hanging out online a lot lately, and he'd heard that Earthling fathers-in-law and mothers-in-law were incredibly difficult to deal with. Chinese mothers-in-law and fathers-in-law, in particular, were always irritated by their foreign sons-in-law. So, wouldn't his alien son-in-law... son-in-law... be even more difficult to deal with, and less marketable? He'd also heard that his dear master, the one who had a strange temper... wouldn't he just be kicked out with a broom?
