【Water Chapter】

The summer evening breeze in the mountain stream was slightly cool. Qi Ruoyun was wearing a single dress and knelt in the bamboo yard, regardless of whether her body could withstand the cool coldness after being injured. Her black hair was drooping straight to her waist, her face was pale, and her hands were squeaked on both sides. Looking from her back, she was shaking, but she still knelt there with her inner persistence. In the room, Posa's grandma was not asleep. She stood in front of the window and looked at Qi Ruoyun in the yard, and her old face still showed an unpredictable look. The little fox in her arms stared at the figure in the yard, making a squeaking sound to Posa's grandma who was holding her.

"Puff, it's been three days. Do you think she will give up in the end or face the difficulties and still persevere." After saying that, she ignored the reaction of the fox in her arms.

"It's late at night, and the moisture in the stream is heavy. Your serious injury has not healed. Do you want to aggravate your condition and let me, the old woman, cook medicine for you?" After saying that, he closed the window and walked to the bed. When Qi Ruoyun, who was kneeling in the yard, heard this, his eyes, which were originally silent, flashed in an instant. Looking at the closed window, his inner thoughts became a little firmer.

The sunlight at noon was a little hot, and circles of halos hit the face of the woman sleeping soundly on the bamboo bed. I don’t know what she thought of, she suddenly opened her eyes, looked at the time, sat up, and cursed her secretly, saying, "Damn it, why have you ever been sleeping. When she was about to get out of bed, she was sitting on the chair in the room and was drinking tea. The old man was shocked. Seeing a bag on the table, she thought that Grandma Posa wanted to drive herself away, and she blurted out without thinking, "Senior, I got up late today, but you can't drive me away either! You said at the time that even if you don't accept me as your disciple, you won't force me to leave. Now, is it because of the senior who wants to go back on his word?"

After hearing what Qi Ruoyun said, Posa's grandma was not annoyed. She drank the tea in the cup, put down the cup, stood up to sort out the wrinkles on Riyin's clothes that had been sitting for a long time, looked at her, and said lightly, "I have not taken away people who look like appearance or are dressed in a miserable manner, nor have the habit of taking part in half-dead people as disciples. Baofuli is a girl who changes clothes and hair accessories."

After hearing these words, Qi Ruoyun, who was sitting on the bed, had a surprise expression on his depressed face and said anxiously, "Ruoyun pays homage to Master. I hope Master will not take what he said just now."

"Master dare not take it. You should think about the two things clearly first." The old man who turned around and walked out paused. "There is food in the kitchen, it's hot. After you pack it up, you drink the medicine in the medicine jar while it's hot. Cough, Puff likes the food you prepared for it."

Looking at the old man who went out and the words that were cold but caring, Qi Ruoyun felt a warm current in his heart, and his face showed his first smile in many days since the accident occurred at home. Thinking of the little fox who liked to follow him, her smile expanded a little. Looking at the bag on the table, she walked over and opened it with a light blue women's clothing, paired with a light blue butterfly hair accessories, which was clear and elegant. Her hands holding the clothes tightened, and her heart felt a little more grateful to her grandma.

She washed and dressed neatly, put on her makeup, looked at herself with a pale face in the bronze mirror, and the eyes in her eyes became a little firmer. She got up and went out to walk towards the kitchen. The light blue dress followed her walking, drawing a faint curve behind her, just like Qi Ruoyun's mood at this time.

After entering the door, he knelt down at the old man sitting on a chair and teased Puffs. He kowtowed twice and said, "The first is that I am grateful for my care these days. The second is that Ruoyun begs me to agree to accept me as his disciple. Ruoyun knows that he is stupid, but I am willing to endure hardship and not afraid of fatigue."

"Get up first. Well, you're wearing these hair accessories and clothes well." Looking at Qi Ruoyun who knelt down after entering the door, he still said in a faint tone: "You are very smart and know that it's much easier to make Puff like than to make me like it. However, what really makes me change my mind is inseparable from your persistence. You are not respectful to tea."

After hearing these words, Qi Ruoyun's mind was blank for a moment, but she soon came to her senses. She lowered her head and pinched herself and heard the gentle laughter coming from the front, she realized that Grandma Posa really agreed.

"Master is here, please accept a prayer from my disciple." He respected tea with both hands, and after the tea was drunk, he gave a ceremony to apprenticeship.

"Since you have become a teacher, you must abide by my rules. You must not have a smile before you have finished your studies. Moreover, since you become a disciple, it indicates that you can change your name during this period without thinking about the irrelevant matters of learning."

"Yes, Master. The disciple obeyed the order." Thinking about the name, I wanted to refute it, but considering that the name Qi Ruoyun might be inconvenient after leaving, I thought for a moment, "Qi Liyan, I will call it Qi Liyan in the future."

After hearing this, Grandma Posa opened her mouth and stopped what she wanted to say. She got up and walked to the bookshelf, took out a book, and handed it to Qi Liyan, "I will give you five days to memorize this meridian interpretation, and I will test you in five days. If you don't answer, you don't have to stay here, and you will become invalid if you become a disciple."

Qi Liyan took the book and said, "Yes, Master." He opened the book and started reading it.

"You go back to your room to see, by the way, don't forget to cook for Puff." Xiri Tan Xiaojing was still the same in her mind, but her old friend had already suffered a disaster. Alas, the only blood left in your life, my sister must protect her from being fully prepared. Looking at Qi Liyan, Grandma Posa thought to herself.

"Li Yan left." After saying that, he clasped the book tightly and walked out.

"Sir, do you think the prince will come?" Ge Shu, who was wearing black clothes with his arms and his hair was tied with only one hairband, stood beside Han Yuting, and asked uncertainly. "Why are Mu Feng going to do something about where Qing Xuan Ling is looking for, but he ran away all day long. Sir, how many days can you give Mu Feng?"

"Whether to come or not depends on whether your good friend Mu Feng is reliable in doing things. As for the grace you mentioned, if his work is done, you can consider it." Han Yuting was wearing a court suit, holding a teacup in his left hand, and slowly turning it around.

"Mu Feng is the leader of the secret guard. You can rest assured about your ability to do things. If I go to do what my master told me, I will definitely need Mu Feng's help."

As he was speaking, he saw Mu Feng, who was also dressed in black, coming in from outside the door in a slightly embarrassed manner, saluted Han Yuting, and clasped his fists: "Sir, the matter has been done. The prince is on the way here."

"Yeah, I understand." After the words came, a gloomy and cold voice came from outside the door with internal force.

"I have been back to Beijing for a few days but have not visited the Right Prime Minister of Han. I feel very guilty. In the past three years, I have to rely on the Right Prime Minister of Han to assist my father in the court, so that I can be at peace with the world. It just happened that I have nothing to do today, so I came to Yan Sitang for a visit." Feng Chenyao was wearing a black shirt with a cloud brocade dragon pattern, carrying a hint of coolness, slowly walked in from outside the door, his eyebrows were relaxed, and he smiled slightly, "Does the Right Prime Minister of Han think that I am disturbing me when I come here today?"

Looking at Feng Chenyao, who sat in his seat without any politeness after entering the door and poured himself a cup of tea, Han Yuting narrowed his peach blossom eyes and signaled to the Mu Style Shu standing beside him, asking them to retreat. He looked at Feng Chenyao who was drinking tea for a while and smiled, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is polite to say such words. Yan Sitang was originally built by the emperor. In his early years, he was fortunate to be appreciated by the emperor and could manage Yan Sitang. Accepting the emperor's kindness to share his worries, this is what he should do. The crown prince is here today, making Yan Sitang shining bright, which is indeed a honor for Han."

"I heard that my father handed over the important task of finding Qingxuan Ling to Prime Minister Han, but I don't know what the current progress is. Chen Yao was quite curious about this. I believe that Prime Minister Han knew that Qingxuan Ling also had a great relationship with my Feng family." After drinking all the tea in the cup, he said slowly.

"I know a little about the origin, so I have to worry about finding the whereabouts of Qingxuan Ling." Han Yuting didn't know what he thought of, put his right hand on his forehead, sighed, and said, "I heard that when the ancestors of the Qi family were young, they helped Emperor Taizu when he was fighting. When Emperor Taizu ascended the throne and became emperor, they asked to retire. Qingxuan Ling was given to the ancestors of the Qi family at that time. At that time, the emperor was instructed to go to Qijiazhuang to find Qingxuan Ling. I thought Qingxuan Ling could find the emperor, but...ah. It's just that the current Lord Qi Zhuang had a guilty heart."

Feng Chenyao listened to Han Yuting's words and made no statement. "The current owner of Qijiazhuang, Qi Lianfeng not only refused to hand over the Qingxuan Order, but also said that if the ancestors of the Qi family did not choose to retire a hundred years ago, now the Li Kingdom is still unknown which surname is the emperor."

"I don't know what the father reacted after he knew it."

Han Yuting sighed, "The emperor is kind and has not made too much trouble because of this. However, Qi Lianfeng actually took advantage of his true nature to stay in the village and cooperated with the Daman inside and outside, hoping to kill the original nature representing the Emperor Xun Ling. The one who steals chickens and loses rice is probably Qi Lianfeng. He didn't know that the great barbarians had long had bad thoughts about the treasures of the power behind Qingxuan Ling. The great barbarian seemed to be apart from his true nature, but in fact his purpose was to Qingxuan Ling."

After pouring a cup of tea, changing seats, he continued, "The night before the heavy rain, the Great Barbarians actually put the water to the Qijiazhuang to dissolve the water. The next day, he was awakened by the thick smoke and lost all his strength. The village was already full of corpses. When the secret guard rescued the original person and wanted to go again, he had already died with the leader of the Great Barbarians. Alas, poor that more than 200 people in Qijiazhuang were killed by the Great Barbarians."

"I heard that Han Youqiao's martial arts skills are not low, and his secret guards are also top-notch masters. Didn't you notice anything at all that was disturbed the night before?"

"Haha, Han Youxiang's tea is pretty good, and the food is probably more delicious. However, I still have some things to deal with today, so I left first. I have the chance to come to Yan Sitang another day and must stay for dinner." Feng Chenyao stood up and said to him.
