The Evil Emperor's Beloved

Xuanyuan Chen only felt a gust of wind passing by his ears, and he had already left the palace.

"Boy, tell us quickly, which direction are we going?" The fourth elder carried Xuanyuan Chen like a chicken.

Xuanyuan Chen was also extremely helpless. He had no idea that the Fourth Elder was so anxious.

He was carried straight out of the imperial city without hesitation.

"Fourth Elder, please wait. My friend is in the Imperial City. We don't need to leave the Imperial City."

"Hey, kid, why didn't you tell me earlier? You really made me waste my time."

"Senior, you didn't even give me a chance to speak!"

"What are you mumbling about? Are you cursing at me in your heart?"

Xuanyuan Chen immediately shut up and pointed in a direction, "Go that way!"

The fourth elder no longer hesitated and immediately changed direction, flying towards the place Xuanyuan Chen pointed.

A moment later, the two of them landed in the Jing family's yard!

As soon as the two landed, Mr. Jing noticed it and immediately left the house.

When he arrived in the yard and saw who was coming, Mr. Jing immediately stepped forward and saluted Xuanyuan Chen, then looked at the old man standing next to Xuanyuan Chen.

Although he didn't understand, Old Master Jing didn't neglect him. "What's the name of the person next to Prince Chen?"

"This is the Fourth Elder. We came here to see Yue Li. We were in a hurry just now and went straight into Prime Minister Jing's courtyard. We are very rude. Please forgive us, Prime Minister."

The fourth elder? He doesn't have this elder among the elders of the Xuanyuan royal family!

Regardless of whether it is true or false, they are people brought by King Chen, so there will be nothing wrong with it.

"Okay, go ahead. Li'er is in her yard. She has guests today. They are all young people. I'm sure you two can have a good chat."

Prime Minister Jing signaled Uncle Zhong to take them to see Jing Yueli.

Soon, the two arrived outside the Glass Garden.

An old man and a child could hear the sounds of talking and laughing in the garden from far away.

In particular, the voice of one of the girls was particularly loud, but as soon as Xuanyuan Chen heard the voice, he knew it was not Jing Yueli's.

Jing Yueli noticed someone coming towards them and looked up at the entrance of Li Garden.

I saw Uncle Zhong striding over with two other people.

She knew the person behind Uncle Zhong, who else could it be but Xuanyuan Chen.

But who is the old man next to him? And why is he dressed like this?

Jing Yueli was puzzled.

The old man also saw several people in the garden from a distance. When he saw Feng Xuanyi and Jing Wenhao among them, he had a bad feeling!

Several people in the garden also noticed the movement here.

When Feng Xuanyi saw his master following Uncle Zhong, he jumped up from the stool.

He hurriedly trotted to his master and looked him up and down, "Master, why are you here so soon? Didn't you go to the palace? Didn't you eat the imperial meal? That's not right, there are pastry crumbs at the corners of your mouth..." Feng Xuanyi looked at his master's hands again, cough, they were full of oil.

"Have you returned from the palace?..."

Before he could finish, the Fourth Elder slapped Feng Xuanyi on the head.

Jing Wenhao in the distance twitched his mouth. His good friend never learned his lesson. Look at how many people are there in the garden. If you expose your master's shortcomings like this, who else should I beat?

"You unfilial disciple, your master was specially invited by Emperor Xuanyuan to discuss something with you. Tasting the imperial meal was just Emperor Xuanyuan's hospitality to your master. Is it worth talking about?!"

"How could you go there just for the imperial meal? You are the most ignorant among the disciples. Humph!"

"Look at what Wenhao said? Evil disciple!" The fourth elder pointed at Jing Wenhao who was eating melons on the side.

Jing Yueli looked at the old man and then at her brother.

Jing Wenhao received his sister's gaze and nodded at her.

Jing Yueli understood. It seemed that this person was the legendary ninth-rank alchemist, Feng Xuanyi's master, and the fourth elder of Yunhai College.

Jing Wenhao saw that he couldn't avoid it, so he walked around his sister and came to the Fourth Elder, "Fourth Elder, I'm glad you're here as a guest. Please come in and talk!"

From what the Fourth Elder said, he understood what Jing Wenhao meant. Is this his Jing family mansion?

He turned around and looked at Xuanyuan Chen, and saw Xuanyuan Chen nodding at him, "This...?"

Xuanyuan Chen explained, "Fourth Elder, my good friend the alchemist is Brother Jing's sister." As he spoke, he stepped forward and led the Fourth Elder to Jing Yueli.

"This Miss Jing is the alchemist that the kid mentioned who is very good at making pills."

Jing Yueli was confused, but after hearing Xuanyuan Chen's introduction, she put aside her doubts and bowed to the Fourth Elder, "Junior Jing Yueli, greetings to the Fourth Elder!"

"Yueli, this is the fourth elder of Yunhai College. I saw that you two seem to know each other, so I won't introduce you to each other."

"Before, the Fourth Elder went to the palace, and my father called all of us brothers to the palace. During the conversation, we talked about alchemy. I told the Fourth Elder that I also have a friend who is very good at alchemy. Now, the Fourth Elder is eager to meet the person I mentioned..."

Before Xuanyuan Chen finished speaking, everyone in the pavilion understood what he meant.

"I didn't expect that we have such a fate. Originally, the Fourth Elder was supposed to come to the mansion today. I heard from Brother Feng earlier that his master was delayed by something, so he will arrive later." After Jing Yueli finished speaking, she turned to the Fourth Elder.

"Look, senior, isn't this our fate?"

The fourth elder looked at the smart and cunning girl in front of him and was very satisfied. What a smooth little girl, but he liked her, "Hahahaha...hahaha...Okay, well said, this is fate. How about, girl, how about taking me as your master, and making our master-disciple relationship come true, hahahaha..."

"Uh..." So soon? He wants to accept a disciple right away.

"Senior, you may not know that I already have a master who lives in seclusion, so how can I accept you as my master?"

"Oh, girl, who would complain about having too many masters? At worst, let him be the head master, and I'll just take the loss and be the second master. Hehe..."

The old man looked at the expression on the girl's face and smiled secretly in his heart, hehe, fate, look at this fate, isn't it? I am not at a disadvantage as an old man, it's so nice to have such a lovely little apprentice. Unlike those who have no sense, humph.

"This..." Jing Yueli was in a dilemma. She had never thought that the old man would do this. Besides, according to what others said, he had already made concessions. He is already the second master, you can't refuse.

Well, I’m not afraid of having too many masters. I can teach one or two. It seems like it wouldn’t be bad to have a master who is a ninth-level alchemist in the future.

"Then Yueli will pay respect to the Second Master here!"

"Hahaha, good, good, hahaha, refreshing, I, Nangong Qingyang, also accepted a cute little apprentice."

"Come here quickly, you little brat. You haven't met your junior sister yet. Take out the gift for us!"

Feng Xuanyi hadn't recovered from his master's amazing operation yet. When his master yelled at him, he came back to his senses instantly, "Yue Li has become my junior sister?"

"Of course, I personally recognized you as my disciple, do you have any objections?!"

"No, it's not that I was too surprised. I haven't...come back to my senses yet." Feng Xuanyi was afraid that his master would hit him on the forehead again, so he explained quickly.

Feng Xuanyi came close to Jing Yueli and whispered in her ear, "I never thought that we would become senior brothers and sisters one day. Hehe, it seems that my tea leaves will not be able to escape from me in the future!"

Jing Yueli glanced at him sideways. This senior brother must be stupid. Why didn’t she see it before?

Jing Yueli spread out her hands, "Brother, where is the gift from my sister?"

"Huh? Haha... Yes, we will give it to you. When you arrive at the academy, the seniors will prepare it for you."

"Isn't it that Senior Brother doesn't know that there will be a Junior Sister today? Don't you think so, Little Junior Sister~~"

"Well, you can't escape anyway."

"That's right, that's right, I should prepare a gift for my junior sister, that's my duty, my duty..."

Jing Wenhao poured tea for Jing Yueli and the Fourth Elder, invited the Fourth Elder to take a seat, and asked Jing Yueli to perform the ceremony of paying homage to his master. Only after performing the ceremony of paying homage to his master did he officially become the Fourth Elder's apprentice.

"Okay, this tea should be served!"

The fourth elder sat down on the stone bench in the pavilion, and Jing Yueli served him tea in a polite manner, "Master, please have some tea!"

"Okay, be good!" The fourth elder took the teacup, drank it in one gulp, then waved his hand and a box appeared on the stone table.

"This is a gift from the master, take it!" The fourth elder put the box in Jing Yueli's hand.

Jing Yueli looked at the box in her hand. It had a very simple and antique appearance. Jing Yueli touched the patterns on the box and felt that the things in the box were not ordinary.

"Open it and take a look!" The fourth elder urged her when he saw that she was reluctant to open it.

"Click!" The box opened.

There was a token lying in the quaint box. Several people in the pavilion stretched their heads over to take a look, especially Feng Xuanyi. He wanted to see what kind of gift the usually stingy old man gave to his junior sister.

When he saw the token in the box, even he was surprised. "This... This is the elder's token."

"Elder's order?"

"Elder's order!"

“You may not know that in Yunhai Academy, the token to see the elders is like seeing the elders themselves, and only closed-door disciples have it!” Jing Wenhao said, and took out a token from his storage bag.

The token in Jing Wenhao's hand is different from that in Jing Yueli's. The front of Jing Yueli's token has the word "Yunhai" and the back has the elder's name, Nangong Qingyang. The token in Jing Wenhao's hand has the word "Yunhai" on the front and only one word "Yuan" on the back, which means the dean of Yunhai College.

Feng Xuanyi added, "You are the only one in our Alchemy Academy who has this token."

After saying that, Feng Xuanyi immediately became jealous and looked at Jing Yueli with a resentful look on his face.

"Hey! Don't look at me, senior brother. After all, I am the most adorable little disciple of our master!" Jing Yueli was not afraid of big things and rubbed salt into Feng Xuanyi's wounds.

“Hahaha…” laughter suddenly rang out from the garden.

They all sent their congratulations to Jing Yueli.

"I'm going to practice harder. When I go to the academy in the future, Sister Yueli, you have to take care of me!" Ye Yunxian hurriedly tried to establish a relationship.

"Hahaha, look at your uncle's face, hahaha..." Jing Yueli almost laughed.

"You are such a heartless person. You immediately defected to the 'enemy' camp!" Feng Xuanyi looked heartbroken and covered his heart with his hands.

Then there was another round of laughter...

Xuanyuan Chen was also happy for Jing Yueli, but he felt as if he was getting further and further away from her, as the light on her body was getting brighter and brighter. Xuanyuan Chen made up his mind that he must keep up with her.

Everyone gathered around the stone table again and started to make tea and taste cakes.

Jing Yueli specifically instructed Li Xue to prepare some special snacks for the second master.

The fourth elder was very satisfied with the behavior of the little disciple. He praised the little disciple for being sensible and thoughtful while glaring at Feng Xuanyi.

Feng Xuanyi felt that today was the most miserable day of his life.

What Feng Xuanyi didn't know was that as long as Junior Sister was around, he would always be in this position. Hahahaha... Of course, this is a story for later!

"My little disciple, quickly take out the elixir you made and show it to your master. Before, Xuanyuan only gave your master a small bottle of elixir. Although I have seen something, I still need to verify it again."

Jing Yueli also knew that her master had always been obsessed with her Body Tempering Pill, so she took out a Body Tempering Pill and handed it to the Fourth Elder.

The fourth elder took the pill, and the fragrance of the pill instantly entered his nose. Then he brought the pill under his nose and smelled it, then looked at Jing Yueli.

Jing Yueli also looked at him. Jing Yueli was not afraid of the Fourth Elder's eyes. She dared to take it out and was not afraid.

Seeing Jing Yueli like this, the Fourth Elder sighed helplessly and said lovingly to his little disciple, "In the future, if you take out a pill like this and someone asks about it, just say that the pill was made by your master."

Jing Yueli thought that the Second Master wanted to say something, but she didn't expect it to be such a sentence. She...

Jing Yueli's eyes instantly turned red, and she choked up, "Second Master..."

"No need to say more. You are not yet able to protect yourself. The world you are in now is too small. You will understand when you go to the academy!"

"There is also the Wuji Realm above the academy. I can't tell you too much now, as it will affect your path of cultivation."

The people nearby were also listening silently. As the elder brother, Jing Wenhao felt it the most. He also had a hard time when he first arrived at the academy.

It was only later, thanks to his desperate fighting style and day and night training, that he was able to gain a place in the academy.

Everyone only sees his current glory, but no one knows how much effort he has put in behind the scenes.

Others will not treat you differently just because you are the dean's disciple. On the contrary, it is because you are the dean's disciple that you will be challenged by disciples from other schools, because others also want to take your seat.

Your previous identity will not be of any help to you there. A place like an academy is all about strength.

Xuanyuan Chen, Ye Zhengzhe, Ye Zhengyu, Jing Yueli, all of them will go to the academy later, and they now have an idea of ​​the situation in the academy in advance.

Let them experience through a few words the fierce competition in the academy and even in places like the Wuji Realm that the Fourth Elder just mentioned, and the law of the jungle in the outside world.
