After crossing over, I was favored by the villain

Guerlain glanced at the "ghostly scribbles" on the booklet and sneered, "Master Demon, is this your handwriting?"

Feng Hanyun glanced at her coldly, "How is it?"

Guerlain couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Your Majesty, your handwriting is like dog's crawling. Even a three-year-old can write better than you."

Seeing this, Jin Yan quickly snatched the booklet and said, "Um... Lanlan, aren't you here for dinner? Why don't you find a place to sit down? The food will get cold soon."

Guerlain found a seat while laughing, still mocking Jin Yan's handwriting. Jin Yan flipped through the booklet helplessly, muttering, "Is it really that ugly?"

[If I had known earlier, I would have asked my master to write for me, so I wouldn't have been criticized like this. ]

Feng Hanyun gently took the booklet from Jin Yan's hand and handed it back to Wan Ling, "Leave this matter to your junior sister. Eating is more important."

"Oh." Jin Yan pursed his lips, picked up the chopsticks and continued eating.

After dinner, everyone had their fill and each of them cleaned up the dishes. According to Jin Yan, this time was equivalent to "school time off", giving the disciples personal time to do whatever they wanted. The only thing was that they were not allowed to leave the Rosewood Pavilion without permission.

Just as Feng Hanyun and Jin Yan were about to leave, Jiaolan came over and learned that Feng Hanyun and Jin Yan would set off for an audience tomorrow. She looked at Jin Yan and said, "Sister Yan, Yingji has received intelligence that there is a flood in Yuanchi Village and a lot of damage has been done in recent days. Are you here to see me about this?"

Jin Yan was shocked, "What did you say?"

This time it was Guerlain's turn to be confused, "You don't know? I thought you were going to deal with the flood."

[The flood should have occurred some time after the competition, how come it happened so soon? ]

Jin Yan immediately asked, "What other information do you know?"

It was the first time that Jiaolan saw Jin Yan so nervous. She looked at Yingji behind her, and Yingji understood, "Master Demon God, there has been a serious flood recently. Half of the people in Yuanchi Village have been affected by the flood. Now Nanyuan Kingdom is selecting ministers to go to deal with the flood. However, all the ministers who are sent will encounter accidents. Before they arrive, they have already had accidents on the way. So far, two officials have been lost. Now no one dares to go to deal with it."

"How could this happen?" Feng Hanyun was also shocked. She didn't hear this from Jin Yan.

[In the original work, the first ones to be dispatched were the scumbag and the goddess, and no one else participated. Moreover, the flood was not a natural phenomenon. No one could replace the goddess in this matter. ]

[It must be destined that only the goddess can solve the problem. 】

Jin Yan sighed softly, "Master, we can't delay any longer. The flood is serious right now and we can't delay any longer."

Feng Hanyun also understood what Jin Yan meant, "Okay, let us, the master and the disciple, handle the flood issue. You take good care of the disciples of Zitan Pavilion for me."

When this matter was mentioned, Jin Yan thought of something. She pulled Jiaolan's sleeve and said, "Lanlan, there is something I forgot to discuss with you."

"Oh?" Seeing that Jin Yan really needed her, Jiaolan smiled and said, "Sister Yan, if there is anything, just tell me. As long as I can do it."

"My disciples are about to start their training, and the five of you are rare teachers. Can you serve as elders of the Red Sandalwood Pavilion and teach the disciples their talents? Don't worry, the Red Sandalwood Pavilion will give you the most generous rewards."

Jin Yan's proposal was not groundless. She had selected five people early on and brought them into the Rosewood Pavilion just to use them at this time.

She also knew the personalities of the five men very well. They were used to being free and undisciplined. It was indeed difficult to ask them to take apprentices, but the flood issue was the most urgent matter at the moment, so she could only get the five men involved in this way.

Guerlain was surprised. "You want us to take apprentices?"

Jin Yan's expression was serious. "I know it's a bit difficult for you to be entrusted with this task, but I will..."

"Okay." Guerlain interrupted her. She didn't want the relationship between them to be just one of interest.

Jin Yan blinked, still not recovering from the shock, "Lanlan, do you agree?"

[What's going on? When they were in Jiyun Country, Ming Cheng tried to persuade Jiao Lan to stay but she didn't agree. But now she has taken the initiative to agree to my request.]

Jiaolan nodded, "Anyway, the five of us have nothing to do, so we can't just eat and drink for free in the Rosewood Pavilion. But Sister Yan, we don't want any reward. We want to be the elders of the Rosewood Pavilion. I also want to claim to be a member of the Rosewood Pavilion when I go out!"

Jin Yan was really shocked this time. He never thought that the Five Saints would agree to stay. Wouldn’t it be best for them to be free?

Fang Tian smiled and said, "Jin Yan, you don't have to be too surprised. Lord Tianmo was going to tell you about this."

Even Feng Hanyun looked puzzled. "You originally planned to stay in Rosewood Pavilion? No complaints?"

Cheng Yun also said, "Of course, otherwise why would we return with Lord Demon? We have already decided whether to stay or leave. The philosophy and future of the Rosewood Pavilion are full of kindness and fearlessness of power. Isn't this exactly the concept that the five of us have always upheld?"

Shu Yan also said, "When we share the same ideas, we have found our affiliation. A sect that can accept demon cultivators is worth investing some effort into."

Even Yingji said, "The reputation of the Zitan Pavilion is now very high. Even the Dark Emperor Pavilion has set up a special database for the Zitan Pavilion. If it can be valued by the Dark Emperor Pavilion, it will definitely become a powerful sect in the future. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the leader of the five sects."

Listening to the praise from the five people, Jin Yan slowly breathed a sigh of relief. She and Feng Hanyun looked at each other and saw expressions of approval in each other's eyes. Jin Yan took a step back, bowed solemnly to the five people, and said, "On behalf of Zitan Pavilion, Jin Yan thanks the five of you for your trust."

"Sister Yan, you are too polite. It's getting late now, you two should set off as soon as possible." Jiaolan instructed.

After the two of them talked to the five people for a few more words, there was nothing much to pack, so they went to Lingji Pavilion to take a last look at the chubby little Sibu Xiang. Then, taking Ruibao with them, the two of them set off for the imperial city.

In the Imperial City Cabinet, Gong Xi Haoran, wearing a cloak, was furious, "What's going on! The flood in Yuanchi Village is so serious, and you waited until the flood happened before reporting it. What crime should you be punished for?"

A group of ministers knelt down below, begging the emperor not to get angry. "Your Majesty, we have already submitted a report about the flood in Yuanchi Village, but..."

"Just what?" Gong Xi Haoran stared at the prime minister who was speaking.

The prime minister knelt down and kowtowed. “A few days ago, there was a strange phenomenon in the sky and thunder fell, which broke the dam of Yuanchi Village outside Linggao City, affecting the flow of water, so that the flood came early. This matter should be dealt with by finding the person who caused the thunder.”

Gong Xi Haoran glared at the prime minister coldly, "There were bursts of thunder and lightning at that time, which was a sign of things to come. You are not responsible for these things, but you want to find someone who has successfully overcome the tribulation to take responsibility. What use do I have for you!"

"Your Majesty, please calm down. It's not that we didn't deal with this matter in advance. I had already arranged troops to go there. However, they were attacked on the way, and the entire army... was wiped out." The prime minister was also confused.

Gong Xi Haoran slumped down on the dragon throne, "Forget it, I have already issued the imperial decree, Su Gong, go and invite someone else!"
