The Evil Emperor's Beloved

"Okay, I've been waiting for you to say this. I'll reply to my master immediately."

Feng Xuanyi was extremely excited. He finally completed what his master had asked him to do. It was not easy for him.

On the other side, the Fourth Elder didn't know yet that in addition to meeting the alchemist who made the long-awaited Body Tempering Pill during his trip to Jing Mansion tomorrow, there was another unexpected surprise waiting for him.

Ye Zhengzhe and the others only knew that their uncle’s master was also an alchemist, but they didn’t know that their uncle’s master was so powerful, a ninth-rank alchemist.

Wouldn't that mean it is the best in Xuanyue Continent?

What surprised them even more was that Jing Yueli knew it so clearly.

Of course, since Jing Yueli has decided to go to Yunhai College, she still has to do this homework.

Otherwise, going to the college completely in the dark is not her style.

Jing Yueli always plans carefully before doing anything and never fights a battle without confidence.

She guessed that an alchemist from Yunhai College would come, but she didn't expect that this ninth-rank alchemist would come in person, and come for her Body Tempering Pill.

How could an alchemist who was so absorbed in alchemy pay so much attention to the news from the outside world? It was cross-border news, so of course someone deliberately leaked it to him. Hehehehe...

Of course Jing Yueli didn’t know all this.

The auction was still going on, but Jing Yueli had lost interest in it.

It turned out that she wanted to come to the auction, firstly, she wanted to see with her own eyes what kind of high price her Body Tempering Pill could fetch, secondly, she wanted to join in the fun and learn about the people from various countries, and thirdly, she wanted to see if she could buy some equipment for her people through this Treasure Pavilion auction.

But up to now, except for the Body Tempering Pill which barely achieved her expectations, the others had nothing to do with her.

As the auction drew to a close, Jing Yueli signaled to the people in the box that she wanted to leave the Treasure Pavilion early.

When the auction is over later and everyone gathers together, trouble is bound to occur.

Everyone thought so too. Now that the people of Ziyun Country had the Body Tempering Pill, everything else was no longer important.

Feng Xuanyi took Ye Zhengzhe and the others back to their previous box first.

Jing Yueli and the others were about to leave the box when a servant came to box number nine.

Then when they saw the tray in his hand, they understood what was going on.

The servant of the Treasure Pavilion directly brought the money obtained from the auction of the Body Tempering Pill to Jing Yueli.

"Miss Jing, these are the pills you sent for auction. After deducting our Treasure Pavilion's commission, the rest are all here. Please count them." The servant stepped forward respectfully and handed the tray to Jing Yueli.

"Okay, no need to order. I believe in the ability of your Treasure Pavilion to do things." Jing Yueli took the gold bills from the servant's tray.

Well, what Jing Yueli won in the auction this time was all gold.

After a while, Jing Yueli and the others came out of Box No. 9, and then left through the secret door of the Treasure Pavilion under the special guidance of the servant.

Jing Yueli felt it was strange at the time, but later she learned from the servant that it was Master Mo who gave special instructions.

This old man must be up to something bad again. Humph, I haven't forgiven him for what happened before.

Only Jing Yueli herself knew whether she had forgiven him or not. From the upturned corners of her lips, it could be seen that she was satisfied with Mr. Mo's arrangement.

She knew that this might have been someone's special instruction, but he just used Mr. Mo's name.

Grandpa Jing and Jing Wenhao were also proud that Jing Yueli had such a great reputation in the Treasure Pavilion. Their granddaughter/sister was different from others.

The little girl is amazing!

Just look at Mr. Jing’s straight back and you will know how proud he is in his heart.

It was already late at night when we left the Treasure Pavilion.

After returning to Li Garden, Jing Yueli asked Li Xue to prepare hot water so that she could take a good bath. She had been very tired throughout the day.

She needed to relax for a while. Before she knew it, Jing Yueli had leaned against the wooden barrel and dozed off.

It was not until Li Xue, who was outside the door, heard no more movement from inside the house and knocked on the door and came in that she came to her senses.

The water in the barrel had already gone cold.

Jing Yueli immediately left the bathtub, changed into the clothes she had prepared earlier, lay down on the bed, wrapped herself tightly in the quilt, and then fell into a deep sleep.

next day

Jing Yueli was awakened by a loud noise.

"Li Xue, what happened outside?" Jing Yueli asked Li Xue outside the door from inside the house.

"Master, it was Master Feng who came to the mansion with two young masters and a girl. They saw that you were still asleep and were drinking tea and eating snacks in the courtyard outside!"

"So early?! Is Feng Xuanyi planning to come to her house for breakfast?"

Jing Yueli even began to wonder what Feng Xuanyi's real purpose was in coming to her house today.

Did he come here specially to drink tea with her?

Jing Yueli walked out of the room with a suspicious look on her face.

When I stepped into the courtyard outside, I saw Feng Xuanyi, Ye Zhengzhe and his two siblings sitting in the pavilion outside. Elder Ye Hai was not here today.

Among the people in the yard who saw her come out, Ye Yunxian was the happiest.

As soon as he saw Jing Yueli from a distance, he started yelling, without any sense of being a guest in someone else's home.

Ye Zhengzhe held his forehead with his hand. His sister was really not shy at all.

"Sorry to disturb Miss Yueli so early in the morning!" Ye Zhengzhe is not as considerate of himself as Feng Xuanyi and his sister are, so he still has to be polite.

Although Jing Yueli didn't take these to heart, she was still happy to see someone being so considerate.

She couldn't help but look at Feng Xuanyi who was still drinking tea calmly. Her brother was there too, so Feng Xuanyi finally had someone to keep him company.

Therefore, Feng Xuanyi became even more shameless. Is it necessary to be so polite when visiting a friend's home?

The answer is obviously no.

Jing Wenhao didn't care about these things, and he didn't treat Feng Xuanyi as an outsider.

This is how they got along when they were in college.

"Yueli, wake up! Come here, let Brother Feng pour you some tea!"

Is this a case of the guest taking the lead?

Jing Yueli didn't really think there was anything wrong, "Prince Ye, there's no need to be polite, everyone, please sit down!"

Jing Yueli came to the pavilion and sat next to Ye Yunxian, with Jing Wenhao sitting on the other side.

Jing Yueli took a sip of the tea her brother handed her.

I just got up and I'm a little thirsty.

After drinking a cup of tea, people feel more energetic.

Then Jing Yueli went straight to the point.

"Didn't they say the Fourth Elder would come? Why don't we see him?" Jing Yueli asked.

"Hey, my master was invited to the palace by Emperor Xuanyuan early in the morning!"

"I don't know who leaked the news! Among the people who came to invite him, there was an alchemist, probably the royal family's personal alchemist. He flattered my master and tricked him into leaving!"

Jing Yueli couldn't believe it. A ninth-rank alchemist was fooled so easily? It couldn't be that easy, could it?

Jing Yueli looked at Feng Xuanyi with a look that said, "You are lying to me."

"Cough, cough!"

Is there an inside story? This is the first thing Jing Yueli thought of!

Seeing that he couldn't hide it any longer, Feng Xuanyi had to tell the truth, "Master, he was fooled by the imperial cuisine in the palace."

"Master, this is all he has a hobby. I don't know how Emperor Xuanyuan knew about it!"

Jing Yueli was a little speechless. Shouldn't someone like Master Feng Xuanyi have been practicing fasting long ago?

"Heh~" It turns out that this ninth-rank alchemist has such a hobby.

"Well, Master said that he will come after tasting the imperial meal. He will definitely come!" Feng Xuanyi also felt ashamed!
