Chapter 59 Departure

  Rushing back to the Imperial Academy, despite her objections, with Ximen Lingfeng as the main culprit and Dongfang Qi as an accomplice, they directly pinned her down in Liancheng.

  "Master Lian Cheng, Master Lian Cheng..."

  The door creaked open and Lian Cheng gave him a direct glance, successfully shutting him up.

  "Master, Master, quickly take a look at her, she's injured..." Without saying another word, he supported Xīng Liǎo Kuáng as he sat down, and Xī Mén Lù Shuāng was even more anxious than the person who was injured.

  After washing his hands, Lian Cheng glanced at her, "Still hurt?"

  "It's nothing."

  "What's the big deal? Haven't you seen such a long wound?! If it were someone else's daughter, she would have cried out in pain long ago. Who is as stubborn as you?" The loud scolding was clearly forgetting that he was facing an injured patient.

  Carefully checking the wound, Lian Cheng stood up straight and walked into the house. Before long, he brought out a short and stout porcelain bottle. The others just watched, while Xi Men Ling Xue was still muttering to herself, continuously bombarding Zhan Qing with questions.

  Pour out the medicinal herbs, Lian Cheng looked at these men in a circle, his eyes fell on Zhan Qingkuang's body, "Go inside?"

  "No need, I'll just put it on here! I'll leave after I've finished wrapping up." He took off his clothes and wore only a bellyband, but Warlight didn't think much of it.

  The men beside her turned around in unison as soon as they saw her shoulders exposed, awkwardly not knowing what to say. Ximen Ruxin stumbled and turned around, frightened and shouting loudly: "Hey, I'm asking you if you're a woman or not! How can you be so immodest, daring to undress like this in front of men?"

  They always say she's not a woman, just wait for the opportunity! She will let him know what it means to rather offend a petty person than a woman, especially a vengeful woman!

  "You're so noisy!"

  In front of her, his skin was as white as jade, and his collarbone was finely carved. Even a fleeting glance would make one unable to look away from the fabric in his hands, which he wound around in circles. Zhan Qing felt that she could even see the fine down on Lian Cheng's face, his beautiful eyes with their curled lashes, his straight nose bridge, and his slightly pink lips. This Lian Cheng was indeed a handsome man!

  The two of them were very close, and they could feel each other's breath. However, Zhan Liang was looking at him with a bright and upright gaze, while Lian Cheng, even if he was calm, had some evasiveness in his eyes.

  "Hmm!"

  "Sorry, I got a bit heavy-handed!" Her crossed arms behind her back paused for a moment before relaxing slightly.

  "What's wrong? What's wrong?" The mentor, you're being too rough!" Hearing her painful cry, Ximen Rongchuang anxiously wanted to turn around, but suddenly stopped and instead instructed Lian Cheng to come over.

  That was a bit tight just now, but this medicine is cool and refreshing, still has some use.

  "It's okay, you continue." Finally wrapped a few more rounds and tied it in the front, Zhan Qingcang put on his clothes.

  "Alright."

  Upon hearing this, Xi Men Rou Xiang carefully looked her over a few times, confirming that apart from her face being slightly pale, everything else was fine.

  "This is a three-day dose, be more careful yourself." After another busy half day, Lian Cheng handed the small bottle to her.

  "Three days? Can it be cured in three days?"

  "Do you suspect me?" The originally calm and flat voice suddenly made Ximen's words get stuck in his throat.

  "Mentor, don't misunderstand, he's just too worried." Dongfang Ji pulled him back, signaling him to shut up.

  "Yes! Mentor, how could we possibly doubt you? Your level is renowned throughout the Imperial Capital." Lian Cheng was a rare talent in alchemy, and at just 23 years old, he was already famous throughout the Imperial Capital. Even his father, the Emperor, had wanted to invite him, but the man before them had refused, choosing instead to be an ordinary instructor at the Imperial Academy.

  "Alright? Let's go first!" He tidied up his clothes and looked at this group of people with a cold smile.

  "Let's go, let's go! You should go back and rest well. Mentor, thank you so much." Just as he was about to push her from behind, Ximen Rong noticed her waist and stopped again.

  "Don't touch water."

  "Alright, alright, I'll tell her."

  "Excuse us, Master!" Huangfu Minghui and the others bowed and turned to catch up with Ximen Yurong and the others.

  On the way back to Huisuiyuan, Ximen Qing said for the 98th time: "Don't touch water, don't eat spicy or smelly food..."

  "Stop! I'm here."

  "So soon? You're being reckless, let me tell you..."

  "Don't mention it, I've remembered everything!"

  "Also..."

  I'm tired!

  "Alright then!" With a smack of her lips, Ximen Qingxia thought for a moment and decided not to say anything after all.

  "That's all for today, we'll send you back now. Make sure to rest well when you get back." Beitang Qimeng nodded with a smile, and Zhan Qingcui acknowledged it.

  "Rest well, we'll be off first."

  "Good."

  "You must get plenty of rest! If there's anything, come find me or them. Don't be stubborn, I think you should still come home with me! My family has many people and it's convenient to take care of you, isn't it? Just go back with me!" Ximen Rui had just taken a few steps when she suddenly ran back again.

  A blue vein bulged on his forehead, and he was so angry that he wanted to punch him in the face.

  "Hehe, don't mind him, Ximen is just concerned about you. Let's take him away now and not disturb you." With a pull, Ximen was dragged back, Beitang Qimeng smiled apologetically and took the oblivious Ximen away.

  Even after walking far away, I could still hear his struggling voice.

  "Don't pull me, ah, why are you pulling me? I haven't finished speaking yet..."

  "Alright. Ximen, don't say anything for now, aren't you supposed to go home? I'm sure the master of the Ximen household is still waiting for your news!" This guy didn't see that Qingxiao was already on the verge of furious anger, yet he was still chattering away, if they didn't pull him away soon, he worried that his fist would make intimate contact with that handsome face!

  The ear root child finally calmed down, taking a deep breath to comfort his heart. After entering the house and closing the door, he directly entered the space.

  "Mom..." As soon as she appeared, the little one rushed into her arms and kissed her several times.

  "Xiao Er, Mommy misses you so much! MUA~" She kissed him several times, and after a gentle struggle, she still couldn't bear to put him down.

  She wrinkled her little nose, and Xuan Xi looked at her waist with his eyes. "Mother, you're hurt!"

  "It's okay, I've already taken the medicine!"

  "Mother's words don't count, Mother is hurt again!" Xiaopang's hand reached for his waist, rubbing the bulge wrapped around it. Lowering his head, a red glow flashed in his eyes again, no, there was a demonic aura on Mother's wound, who was it? Who dared to hurt his mother?!

  "It's Mother's fault, don't be angry with Mother."

  "Xu'er is out of breath, just feeling sad... Mother's heart is hurt, Xu'er's heart aches..." With a bitter face, the little one lifted his head to look at her, and there was still a glimmer of tears in his eyes.

  "It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt, Mom promises, there won't be a next time, okay?" She had never felt her heart so soft before. The son in front of her was the warmest existence in her heart! No matter what hardships she faced outside, as long as she saw her son's lovely face, she felt that everything was worth it.

  "This time it's settled! No more going back on your word!"

  "Alright, Mother promises you." She kissed his little nose and gently rubbed her forehead against his.

  "Mother, go and wash, it's good to hurry up, let's go, let's go..." Holding her hand, the little one pulled her to the water's edge, looking up at her.

  The precious life-saving water was used by the mother and son as "disinfectant" to treat their wounds, it's really frustrating!

  Undo the gauze that was just wrapped, wipe off the layer of medicinal paste, and with a light and quick motion, scoop up a handful of water to rinse the wound. After cleaning the wound thoroughly, in the blink of an eye, a white-golden light appears on the wound, shrinking bit by bit until it returns to its original smooth state.

  She changed into a new set of clothes, and Warlight held her little treasure in her arms, hugging his small waist, gazing at him gently. It turned out that she wasn't without a gentle side, but her gentleness was limited, only given to the most important people in her life.

  "Mom, I want to go out and be with you too."

  "Good!"

  "Watching over Mother~"

  The childlike words made Zhan Qing laugh out loud, "Good!"

  She agreed, and the little man was satisfied. His small arm still wrapped around her neck, his soft head nestled on her shoulder.

  The next day, early in the morning, Ximen Qing came uninvited. Hearing the noise, Zhenzhuang patted the sleepy meatball to sleep and walked into the courtyard with an unpleasant expression.

  "So this is your style, Ximen Daxia? Disturbing people's peaceful morning?" With arms crossed and leaning against the door frame, countless sharp gazes pierced him.

  She glanced at the flowers and then at the grass, but Ximen Qingxue didn't dare look up at her.

  "Either talk about something meaningful or get out of here!"

  "Ah! Something's up, something's up, do you know or not? This time the academy urgently summoned us back, what's it for?" Ximen Linfeng also couldn't be bothered to hide anymore.

  "Go on!"

  "The triennial Academy Festival is about to begin, and the top academies of each empire will participate. This year's venue is in the Lou Nan Empire, and our academy has called us all back just for this festival."

  "Then go, what does it have to do with me?" She had only been at the Imperial Academy for a short time and was always busy running around, learning nothing. And since it was a grand gathering between empires, how could she possibly attend?

  "Who said you're not related to this? Your name is on the list, I'm here to tell you to prepare more, we're leaving tomorrow. Looking at your current state, it's clear you don't know anything yet!" Ximen Rui looked at Zhan Qing's completely unaware expression and felt pleased with herself for getting him the inside scoop.

  "How could it be me? There are so many capable people in the academy, and I'm just a newcomer who tagged along?"

  "You don't know yet, do you? Of course, it wouldn't have been you originally, but that old devil had to go and recommend you. Although he's a bit poisonous, his words still carry weight in the academy, so they agreed!" Ximen Linfeng's expression turned ugly as she furrowed her brow, clearly thinking of something unpleasant.

  Who is that old man who taught me martial arts?

  "Alright, you go prepare quickly! Bring everything that the girl's family should bring, and also your medicine. Although time is pressing, your injury can't be taken lightly." Ximen Ruxing remembered the wound on her waist, the 99th reminder of hers.

  "Alright, I'll go!" Raised an eyebrow at him, meaning that's all, now scram!

  "What's with that expression! Hmph! If it weren't for the fact that you're injured... I!" Just as he was about to shout, his arrogance encountered Warlight's aura and instantly fizzled out.

  "What's wrong with you! Young Master Xi Men, do you know how to write 'offending the eyes'?"

  "You say I'm annoying? I'm so elegant and refined, surpassing even Pan An's Ximen young master, and you dare to say I'm annoying? What kind of gaze is that, have your eyes grown crooked? You're infuriating me! Not being gentle is one thing, having a bad temper is another, but even if your personality is twisted, I've been magnanimous enough not to mind! However, I absolutely won't allow you to insult my face!" Ximen young master corrected her with righteous indignation, his finger trembling as he pointed at Zhan Qinghong's hand.

  "Shut up!" The voice was so loud, what if it woke up her baby?

  "You want me to shut up, I'll shut up, but wouldn't that be a loss of face for me? I won't shut up, come and bite me if you dare!" Ximen Qingxue stuck out her tongue and made a face, she was being utterly defiant.

  Bite him! She's still worried about dirtying her own mouth! But biting is not allowed, hitting is. Taking off the shoes from his feet, she swiftly and fiercely slapped that crooked face with a loud "slap", all sounds stopped abruptly.

  "How can you hit my face? How...” She took the shoe off her face and slammed it to the ground. Ximen Qingxue was about to shout loudly, but she saw her pick up another one, covering her face, and retreating to the door. "I won't fight with you anymore, I won't fight... I still have something to say, something to say! Our Xinlu Auction House has a grand auction tonight, aren't you an honored guest? If you have time, go take a look. Alright, I've said what I wanted to say, I'm leaving first..." After hastily finishing her words, Ximen Qingxue quickly ran away, not wanting to be hit in the face by another shoe.

  She picked up her shoes and rushed back to the house, hearing a commotion knowing that her treasure had been awakened, she couldn't help but scold Ximen Qingxue.

  A small ball of flesh on the bed stretched out a chubby hand to rub his eyes, and then yawned. His eyes immediately became watery and couldn't focus. The quilt was kicked open by him, and his little clothes were also wrinkled beyond recognition, revealing a white and round belly. After a long while, he finally came to himself and reached out for a hug.

  "Xiao Er, wake up?" Taking his hands, gently kissing his little face, giving him a morning kiss.

  "Mom..." Nuo Nuo's voice was weak and boneless as she lay on her, the little one was being spoiled early in the morning.

  "Mom will hug you, and after a while, we'll finish eating. Then Mom will take you out." She picked up the lotus root-like small arm, gently bit it lightly, changed his clothes for him, and the soft and fluffy little ball leaned on her, following her movements.

  It wasn't until he washed his face that he suddenly came to and was completely awake.

  "Mom..."

  "Hurry up and eat your breakfast, after you're done, we'll go to the Crazy Cliff Pavilion." He wiped his little hands clean, had him rinse his mouth, and pinched his cheek, then carried him to the table.

  Don't eat too greasy for breakfast, crystal dumplings, thin porridge, and refreshing small dishes. Hold the little one next to you on your lap, gently test the temperature of the porridge, just right, feed it into the little treasure's mouth with a ceramic spoon, and it was sucked in with a slurp.

  "Mommy, eat too..." Wuwu said, the little one looked up at him and kicked his little feet happily.

  "Good, mother will also eat, and have another dumpling." Ah Wu took a bite, her small mouth biting down, savoring the flavor.

  After finishing breakfast, mother and son put on the same white parent-child outfit and set off.

  Looking at the imperial capital, it is still as bustling as ever. Street vendors are enthusiastically hawking their wares for a living, and shop owners are diligently serving customers. The Li family, with Li Qingzhou holding his son, strolled from door to door.

  "Xiao Er, is there anything you want?"

  They were all ordinary things that couldn't arouse his interest at all. He shook his head, and then picked up a strand of hair in front of her chest to play with it.

  Alright! The son doesn't want anything, it's actually saving her money, but she still has a pet that eats, so let's just buy some for both of them then!

  The Kuangsha Pavilion was still that side house, Lou Xinglan looked at the girl in front of him and thought about the intelligence in his hand, but he was still a little uneasy.

  "Master, is everything really all right?"

  "I'm fine now. I need to take a long trip, going south of the building."

  What's going on downstairs? A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and Lou Yinglan's face suddenly sank, thinking of those people, he hated!

  "Happiness and anger don't show on your face, you didn't do a good job!"

  "Please punish me, master."

  "I'm not going to punish you just because of your expression, but there are things that need to be done and done well, and how to make amends afterwards requires careful consideration from you!" Jingyun tidied up Rong'er's clothes and gave him a gentle reminder.

  "Yes, Master. However, for this trip, do you need me to prepare anything for you? And should I also prepare something for the young master?" He carefully looked at the child, and Lou Yinglan could never forget how that small body had intimidated him, making his heart tremble with fear, not daring to show any disobedience or resistance.

  "No need to prepare, I've already prepared everything. By the way, is there an auction at New Luo Auction House tonight?"

  "Yes, master. Are you going to take a look?"

  Think about it, the Ximen family still owes her a promise from the Crazy Killer Pavilion! Go! Why not go? Is she the kind of person who lets others take advantage of her for nothing?

  "I will go in the past."

  After spending a day in the Kuangsha Pavilion, they made a good plan for the future development of the Kuangsha Pavilion. As the sky darkened, the three set off together towards the Xinlu Auction House.

  "Xiao'er, you go in first, Mother will just say hello and then come find you, okay?" Lightly squatting down, she brushed the little one's hair to the back, revealing a round and smooth small face.

  "Hurry up!"

  "Alright, got it. Can you take care of me a bit more?"

  "Don't worry, master, I'll take good care of young master."

  For a moment they parted ways, and Zhan Qingcang took the VIP badge and walked in unimpeded.

  As soon as Zhan Qing left, Xuan Xi was no longer in the obedient state from earlier. He turned his back and said coldly, "Let's go!"

  "Yes." Although he didn't know why Young Master was always two different people in front of and behind Master, that wasn't something he should be concerned about.

  When Lou Xuanlang arrived, he was immediately treated with enthusiasm. Isn't this the master of Kuangsha Pavilion? The whole imperial capital's golden-masked noble son, it's him! Moreover, relying on Zhuji Dan, they have a place in the imperial capital, not only having good relations with the royal family and the four major families, but also owing a great favor to Kuangsha Pavilion. How dare they be slow in treating this great god?!

  But what's astonishing is that the ruthless and cunning master of the manor has brought a child with him. Could it be his son? This is earth-shattering news! The entire imperial capital will be abuzz, and who knows how many ladies' hearts will shatter into pieces!

  If a careful person observes carefully, they will find that the master of this Kuangsha Pavilion is not on an equal footing with that little kid, but instead is slightly half a step behind, following behind that little kid. The difference of half a step can reveal who is the master and who is the servant.

  "Ah, Master has arrived! We didn't expect such an honor! Quick, please come in, please come in." The manager of the auction house personally welcomed him, what a big shot!

  Under the support of the crowd, Lou Yinglan walked into one of the most noble boxes, looking at the young master's unkind face, feeling a little nervous.

  From time to time, there were voices asking to see him, and Xuan Xi's aura around his body became colder.

  "Get rid of them all!" Climbed up beside the soft couch, with a tone of great disgust.

  "But what about the young master himself..."

  "Go quickly!" Being swept by that gaze, Lou Xinglan hastily responded and swiftly went out.

  While fighting lightly and madly on this side, she had just arrived when Ximen Qing pulled her over.

  "What took you so long?! Everyone has been waiting for you."

  Zhan Qingkong was pulled by him through the crowd and into a private room. Fortunately, her injury had healed quickly, otherwise she would have been pulled like this and her wound would have burst open again?

  As soon as they entered the private room, they found several young masters, Huangfu Minghui was there, and two more girls were added.

  "Ximen, don't pull her, you know she's injured." With a reproachful glance at him, Beidong Qimeng led Zhan Qingchuan inside.

  "It's not like I'm in a hurry, I just forgot! Don't be angry, I didn't do it on purpose. Are you okay? Does it hurt?" Ximen Qingyang quickly withdrew her hand and explained with both hands and feet.

  "Die of pain!" A hand pushed away the face in front of her, and Warlight said with a bad tone.

  "Ah? Pain, pain? I really didn't do it on purpose, otherwise I'll go ask someone to take a look at you." Now this is good, hearing her in pain, Xi Men Rui Xiang blamed himself even more, his hands and feet didn't know where to put themselves!

  A giggle broke his embarrassment, it was one of the two girls wearing a red dress.

  "Bei Tang Xiner, what are you smiling at?"

  "Laugh at your foolishness!" Even if someone is really angry or not, it's hard to tell, isn't it stupid?

  "Who did you say? Say it again!"

  "Alright, alright, stop making a fuss. Xiao Kuang, let me introduce you to her. The one over there is Huangfu Minghui's sister, Huangfu Mingjia. And this is my sister, Beidong Xiner."

  "Hello! I've heard of you!" Beitang Xiner's eyes widened with curiosity as she stared at her. She had indeed heard that this girl had risked her life to save her brother and the others!

  "Hello." The woman in purple clothes smiled warmly, releasing her kindness.

  She nodded her head in response, but she still had doubts. "Why didn't the other family heads come? Shouldn't you be with them?"

  "Who'd want to be with them anyway! We young people will have our own fun, right?" Ximen raised his chin, seeking others' opinions.

  Just as he was about to say something, the sound of "ding ding ding" came from downstairs, obviously the auction had begun.

  "Ladies and gentlemen, good evening! Welcome to our new auction house, I am Zhang Xiao, the person in charge. Tonight, countless rare treasures will be on display. If you see something you like, please don't hesitate to bid, or else someone else might take it home, and then you'll regret it. Don't come crying to us later!"

  The newly displayed ones are usually not good, Zhan Light Crazy flipped through the treasure list and quickly caught her attention with a name.

  Five-Colored Divine Dragon Cauldron!

  Thinking of the broken alchemy furnace before, she was worried that she didn't have time to find a new one! Who would have thought that they could encounter such an unexpected surprise? The Ximen family is not simple! How did they get their hands on such a rare treasure?! This Five-Colored Divine Dragon Cauldron is from the ancient times, made of Huan Cai Xing Yu jade, with a pure white cauldron body and five-colored patterns carved with flying dragons that seem to come alive. It's as if it was naturally formed, without any artificial embellishments. One foot wide and half a foot high, its rounded arched shape makes it look somewhat adorable. This cauldron can only be used by alchemists of the Medicine Sect or higher, and the higher the alchemist's level, the higher the quality of the elixir produced, with even more astonishing effects.

  Seeing this, Zhan Qing's heart skipped a beat, it was tailor-made for her!

  "What are you staring at!" Ximen Ruxue stretched her neck and gave her a glance.

  "Look at the baby!"

  Xi Men's family stuff is a treasure, of course!

  Listening to the calls one by one, it soon came to the Five-Colored Divine Dragon Cauldron. The scene below was still for a moment before instantly boiling over - that's a precious cauldron!

  "Starting price: 500 Amethyst Coins!"

  Wow! The price is quite high, but a thousand gold coins are easy to get, while precious items are hard to find. Any number of crystal coins would be worth it!

  "I'm out 600 purple crystals!"

  "I'm 800..."

  “900……”

  "I'll bet one Crystal Coin!"

  "I'm going out for three..."

  "I'll give you ten..."

  The scene was silent as a crow, and the last bidder was complacent, thinking he had won, when someone broke the silence.

  "I'm betting 15 Color Crystals!"

  Everyone downstairs looked at the place where the sound came from, but there was no one in sight. The voice, however, belonged to a young woman.

  "Hum! I'm going all-in with 18!"

  "Twenty-five!"

  ……

  Everyone in the private room turned their attention to Zhan Qingcang, and they were all puzzled by her behavior.

  "You're being reckless, what do you want it for? You're not even an alchemist."

  I like it.

  "Just because you like it, you have to take a picture of it? I know you have a lot of crystal coins, but that's not how you spend them! Go back and find his old man to reason with him, say he's being wasteful? The real wasteful person is right here!"

  "Thirty-five!"

  "Are you still adding? Alright, alright! I'll go and tell them to give it to you, isn't that enough?" Ximen Ruxue rolled her eyes, she'd rather he gave his personal feelings to someone else. The crystal coins would be kept for herself, just in case.

  Someone sent you a gift, don't refuse it, especially since it's from Sephora, so just accept it!

  Call someone over and go tell the one in the back, Ximen Qingxue is still advising Zhan Leiqiang on how to make ends meet.

  Before long, the servant returned with embarrassment.

  "What's wrong?" Seeing him come back empty-handed, Ximen Qingfeng's expression wasn't very good.

  "This, Young Master, the Five-Colored Divine Dragon Cauldron has already been taken by someone who got here first." The servant wiped the sweat from his forehead and carefully looked at Xi Men Rui Xue, whose face was gloomy.

  "Who dares to be the first to climb up? Who is it?" Ximen Ruxin suddenly felt embarrassed as she slammed her teacup on the table.

  "Yes, yes, yes..."

  "Don't be evasive, speak quickly!"

  "He is the master of Kuangsha Pavilion."

  "There he is again! I didn't like him from the start, always wearing that mask, doesn't he get tired of it? Just now I heard he even brought his kids along, one look and you can tell he's not a good person, who knows how many women he's hooked up with...” Ximen Ruxue felt suffocated in her heart, all because of her old man, making empty promises for no reason, now they're all gone. If he wants to come back again, isn't that just slapping his old man's face? Just watch! He's already spoken out of turn, now let him lose face, how can he explain himself?"

  "Down, down, down..." He waved his hand impatiently, looking at Zhan Qing with embarrassment.

  "Lightly mad, really sorry. Otherwise, you take a look at others, what do you like, I won't say another word, I'll definitely give it to you." Ximen Qingxue patted her chest and guaranteed.

  Was it taken away by Kuang Sha? Is that hers? Not a single cent was spent, and for this result, Zhan Kuang is extremely satisfied. Moreover, thinking of Yi'er still being there, she should have gone over too.

  "Never mind, I'll go first."

  "Oh no, don't be like that! You didn't get it and now you're angry?"

  "No, I'm really leaving."

  "Wait a bit longer! If not, I'll go find someone to discuss with the people from Kuangsha Pavilion......" If he really let her leave in such a bad mood, he would be failing as a friend.

  "It's really unnecessary, my wound hurts a bit, I'll leave first, you all enjoy yourselves." He nodded to the others and walked towards the door.

  So in everyone's eyes, it became a little girl who didn't buy what she liked and left with an excuse of being hurt.

  She said the wound hurts, but can't stop her from leaving. Ximen Liuxiang followed her to the door: "Alright! You go back first, but if I get anything good next time, I'll definitely give it to you first."

  "Good." Although this person is a bit nagging and has some bad habits, he doesn't have a bad heart.

  "I'll send you."

  "No need, there are still so many people inside. As the host, it's not good for you to leave. I can handle it myself, no need to see me off."

  "Alright then!"

  Watching her leave, Ximen Qingxue blamed himself to death and also scolded his father a million times in his heart.

  Waiting for the gaze behind him to disappear, Zhan Qingcang changed direction and found a servant of an auction house to ask about the location of Kuangsha Pavilion's master.

  Got it. Another one who came for the fame, tonight everyone is looking for the owner of Kuangsha Pavilion and they're all going crazy. Pointed to a direction, the servant shook his head and walked away with multiple trays.

  She arrived at the door of the room, lightly knocked on the door, and when it opened, she quickly walked to the sofa, picked up her baby, and gave him a big kiss. It's only been a little while since I haven't seen you, I really miss you to death.

  "Master, this is the Five-Colored Divine Dragon Cauldron. Just now, judging from your expression, it seems like you want this."

  "En, not bad." He turned the divine dragon cauldron over and over again, and Shi Qingxuan was very satisfied.

  "As soon as I heard the master's voice, I took the initiative to ask someone and had it delivered in no time. As long as the master is satisfied, I don't know what the master wants it for..."

  "Of course, it's alchemy!" With a satisfied nod, Zhan Qingcang casually put the Shenlong Cauldron into his spatial ring.

  "Is Master a Dan-making master?" Could it be that those medicinal pills were all made by Master himself?

  "Didn't I tell you I'm an alchemist?"

  "Hmm...no way..." Good grief! He should have thought of that earlier, right? The medicinal pellets that saved him back then, he thought it was just a coincidence, but with so many pellets, there must be a powerful alchemist supplying them. But he never expected this alchemist to be his master! And those seven high-grade foundation-establishing pellets, doesn't that mean his master is a Medicine Saint? Good grief, such a young Medicine Saint! It's too unbelievable!

  Lou Lulan was shocked there, Xuan Xi pulled on Zhan Qingkuang's clothes, "Mother~"

  "Xiao Er, what's wrong?" Looking into those eager big eyes, his usual arrogance instantly turned gentle as water.

  "Mom, I want that one!" Xiaopang pointed with his hand, looking through the window gap. The item being auctioned was a strange black crystal stone. Apparently, no one knew what it was, and the atmosphere suddenly became somewhat awkward.

  "Alright, Xi'er wants that. Mother will have someone send it over in a moment." This was the first time her precious child had asked her for something, and even if it were the moon in the sky, she would pluck it down and put it into her son's hands.

  The person next to Lou Lan heard this and immediately got up and left.

  "Xiao Er, I'll get it for you later, are you hungry? Eat some pastries first, and we'll go back later. Mom will make something delicious for you." She picked up a pastry from the table and fed it to her son's mouth, watching him take a small bite and swallow, then kissed his chubby face.

  The people downstairs originally thought that the crystal stone of unknown origin was worthless, but unexpectedly it was taken away by the Crazy Slaughter Pavilion in no time. Could it be something good that they didn't know about? The pavilion master of the Crazy Slaughter Pavilion is knowledgeable and experienced, so the things he wants are definitely not ordinary.

  When Lou Xinglan brought the things back, Zhan Qingkuang took them over and directly put them into her beloved son's hands.

  "It's yours, Xi'er."

  "Mom..." The little one hugged her and snuggled into her arms, with his back to her. But what was hidden in his eyes wasn't happiness, but excitement.

  "We'll leave first, and the rest is up to you." The following things didn't interest her; what was most important was that her son ate his fill!

  "Yes, master."

  She picked up her son and quietly left with him while the auction was in full swing.

  Back to the water courtyard, she put her son on the bed and whispered to him: "Hui'er, wait for a while, Mom will go make some delicious food for you, can you play by yourself first?"

  "Good~" The little guy lifted his head and gave her a big smile.

  "Good girl! Mommy will give you a kiss."

  With a satisfied smile, she turned around and went to the kitchen. The little person on the bed couldn't see her figure anymore, only then did he take out that black crystal, his eyes full of surprise.

  I didn't expect that such a low-level interface would have the existence of Yuemo Stone, it's really effortless! Covering my small hand over it, mobilizing the magic yuan in my body, and drawing all the energy from the crystal into my body. The magic yuan absorbed everything after running around for a while. Suddenly opening my eyes, red light flashed in my eyes, bright red like blood, and slowly turned black after a long time. The black crystal that was just now turned into powder in the blink of an eye, jumped off the bed, Xuan Xi opened the window, his small hand opened, and the powder dispersed with the wind. After doing everything, the little one returned to the bed, waiting for his mother to feed him like a good baby.

  After finishing dinner and washing up, the mother and son made a fuss for a while before entering a sweet dreamland.

  The next day, she was woken up by the noisy voices in the academy. Warlight didn't plan to sleep anymore. She directly dressed her son and looked at his chubby face, feeling joyful.

  They took all they could use and set off with their son to find the main force.

  More than a hundred people, countless mountain cattle formed a team, the college's people were all moving things upwards, the scene was very lively. The whole college except for those she knew, were all unfamiliar faces.

  Before long, someone arrived late, and upon closer inspection, it was Lian Cheng!

  Actually, thinking about it, college parties are just about comparing what, are tutors also going to compare?

  "You're here!" Empty-handed, Lian Cheng looked at her and the child in her arms.

  "Hmm. Are you going too?"

  "There will be a competition among alchemists."

  "Qingkuang, Qingkuang, where are you?! This isn't... that isn't... Qingkuang..." Ximen Ruxue searched around frantically, with a fierce determination, she wouldn't give up until she found her!

  "Here!"

  "Huff... huff... I'm exhausted, what are you doing here! You're really hard to find." Ximen Qingyang panted heavily, bending over at the waist.

  "I'm not here, where am I?"

  "Oh, come on, let's go, everyone is waiting for you up ahead. Hmm? Whose child are you holding?" Just as he was about to pull her arm, it seemed like something was off, and only then did he look down at what she was holding in her arms.

  "My son!"

  "What? You're kidding, right! How old are you? You already have a son? I've never seen him before. Alright, no matter where you picked him up from, hurry up and return him to his family. We're about to depart."

  "My son!"

  "I'll go ahead, your Maoshan beef is already prepared for you, come find me quickly, and don't forget to return the child to its owner!" He shouted as he walked away without looking back.

  "It's really my son!" He transferred the little meatball from his right hand to his left and Warlight said it again.

  "I believe you." Lian Cheng glanced at Xuan Xi again, he knew the girl in front of him wasn't someone who would joke about this kind of thing.

  "I'll go first."

  "Good."

  As she passed by the majestic mountain cows one after another, she truly felt that the Imperial Academy had a grand handwriting. These mountain cows were massive in size and could carry many things, with powerful limbs that made it easy to walk and travel long distances, even on mountain roads. However, these mountain cows were not easy to raise, as they required expensive food that ordinary families couldn't afford. The fact that the Imperial Academy could produce so many at once showed that its ranking as the number one empire was well-deserved.

  After walking for a long time, I finally arrived at the place where Xi Men said, but when I saw her, I exclaimed: "Qing Kuang, didn't you tell me to return the child?"

  "I'll say it one more time, this is my son!" If she had to endure any more of her nonsense, she wouldn't mind taking extreme measures.

  Upon hearing this, several pairs of eyes turned over, Dongfang Ji, Huangfu Minghui, Beidong Liu Mo...

  "Haha, you guys say it's not funny, but she insists this is her son..."

  After kicking down the exaggeratedly laughing Ximen Qingxue, facing the puzzled gazes of others, Zhan Qinghu loudly declared: "This is my son, Zhan Xuanyi!"

  "Hmm..." They didn't say anything either! Nor did they burst out laughing, they were just a bit puzzled, that's all.

  Put the son on the cow's back, and Zhan Liangkang also climbed up. Who cares about other people's eyes!

  Before long, the troops were ready to depart. Holding her son tightly in her arms, she urged on the fierce Mongolian cow under her and set off with the troops.
