I had planned to leave the next day, but who knew something unexpected would happen.

Yun An'an returned to Xianhe Garden, washed up, and the three of them left Taichi Mountain in the afternoon.

Leaving the carriage at Taichi Mountain, Yun'an gave Old Wang a withering look. She couldn't help but disdain how he was still eating his snacks along with her.

"Is the Rui Prince's Mansion so destitute that it has come to this In this rather small space, Old Wangye insists on sharing a carriage with me"

"You're saying this as if I'm afraid of you being bored."

Crunch!

With loose teeth, Old Wang gnawed on sunflower seeds while chattering with Yun An'an about the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion on Tiangong Mountain.

From now on, the Heavenly Machine Pavilion will be at your disposal. However, there is something I do not quite understand. Why didn't you directly ask Su Yanhe about the Sky Academy and the black market

If it were him, he would have to find out who bought the corpse pill from Tiangjigu and why they entrusted the black market with selling the nameless celestial book.

Of course, I have my own considerations and I'm not in a hurry.

The greater the debt owed to Tiangji Pavilion, the easier it will be for her to accomplish what she wants in the future.

"Line by line, you have your considerations, old man doesn't ask is all. However~~"

Halfway through his sentence, Old Master Wang took a sip of tea with a satisfied sigh.

"I thought the folks at Tianji Pavilion were all high and mighty, but turns out they're all blind as bats."

I don't know how this group of people managed to make the business of Tiangji Pavilion so big, and they haven't been wiped out yet.

If he hadn't confirmed their identities, he would have truly suspected that those clueless individuals were imposters posing as members of the Tianji Pavilion.

Last night's battle on Zuowang Peak, if it weren't for Beichen's unexpected move and Yun An'an's scheme, I'm afraid they wouldn't have been able to easily rescue Su Yanhé and the others.

Keep in mind, even a Tier 3 assassin from the Heavenly Machine Pavilion could infiltrate the palace to assassinate Han Ying, let alone elder members and core figures.

This group's performance... how do they not look like masters of various arts, but rather a bunch of fools

Well, never mind. Let it go.

"The bridge back is repaired now, so we don't have to take the detour this time. We can be back in Kyoto in two or three days."

"Old Wang."

Yun An'an leaned against Bei Chen Yi, her phoenix eyes half-lidded as she gazed at the old King.

"What are you doing Don't look at me like that."

"I'm starting to suspect that the bridge might have been sabotaged by you."

When going, it's always troublesome and upon return, everything runs smoothly. This road is said to be broken when it's convenient and mended when it suits them, inevitably making one suspect the hand of a con artist.

"Look at you, I'm such an innocent old man, I just have a kind face. Would someone like me do bad things"

Feeling a little guilty, he awkwardly looked away. Old Wang dared not meet Yun An'an's eyes, but in his heart, he was muttering, "How did this little brat guess so accurately"

As the old thief said, the bridge is fixed.

It took several days to reach Mount Taiji, with encounters with the Divine Might Army and events in Wanto County along the way. However, the return journey to Kyoto only took less than three days.

Upon arriving at Yiwangfu, Old Wangye yawned and refused to get off the carriage. He insisted on Qingfeng sending him back to Ruipinwangfu.

Before leaving, Old Master Wang told Yun'an that the less people who knew about what happened on Mount Taiji, the better.

"My lord, you've finally returned."

Bai Shiqi let out a long sigh.

Since the Wangye and Yun'an'an went to Taixia Mountain, the mansion has experienced dozens of attacks, big and small.

The guards of Yi Wangfu hardly slept as they stood watch, but even so, the study was still robbed.

How about it, I guessed right, didn't I

He chuckled, not the angry expression Bai Shiqi had imagined. Instead, Yun Anan wore a look that said "I told you so," humming a tune as she walked toward her study with her hands behind her back.

Creak—

As I pushed open the door, a faint fragrance lingered in the air.

As expected, some people took advantage of their absence to cause trouble at Yi Wangfu. Thankfully, she was clever and had set up traps beforehand.

But anyone who tries to take anything from the secret compartment, the poison hidden within will evaporate into the air. Upon contact with skin, it will enter the bloodstream.

Although this poison won't cause immediate death, the suffering it inflicts is worse than death itself.

The most important thing is that only she has the antidote.

Unless a great immortal descends, those poisoned will suffer.

Before leaving Yi Wangfu, Yun An'an hid all her precious belongings under the stone table in the courtyard.

The most dangerous place is the safest place. As always, no one would ever suspect she hid things right under their noses.

"My little darling, I'm here~"

Thinking of Barrett constantly, Yun Anan took out the complete blank celestial scroll, , and the box containing Barrett from under the stone table.

"This feeling~ is amazing!"

The familiar feel began to spread from her fingertips, Yun Annan raised the Barrett and aimed at the distance.

When I tried to move the trigger, I found that the gun was loaded.

With a bang!

A bullet shot into the wall, and just as Bai Shiqi was passing by with a stack of confidential letters in his arms, he jumped in fright.

"Did I offend you"

Bai Shiqi had witnessed the terror of this thing called an eight-letter, a single bullet could take a human life.

"Seventeen girl."

Yun'an's face was grim as she looked at Bai Shiqi.

"During my absence, has anyone approached this stone table"

"Never."

Bai Shiqi knew exactly what was hidden beneath the stone table, and he would absolutely not allow anyone to get close to it.

"Someone has been here and touched my sniper."

When he left, there was no bullet in the chamber, but now one has been fired.

Not only that, but some subtle details about Barrett have also been corrected. Upon closer inspection, the clarity of the magnifying glass is significantly better than before.

Someone must have made adjustments to Barrett during her absence, and they were very familiar with sniper rifles.

But then again, in an ancient society of cold weapons, who would be so familiar with modern hot weapons

For the entire afternoon, Yun An'an kept her gaze fixed on Barrett without blinking. The questions swirling in her mind formed a knot that tightened with each passing moment.

Who is it!

I don't understand.

……

The moment Bei Chen Yi returned, Bei Chen Han immediately sent all the work he had accumulated over this period to the Prince's Mansion.

Luckily, Gao Pangpang is an individual and came to the palace to help handle government affairs.

In Gao Pangpang's words, no matter how bitter or tiring it is, as long as there is food to eat, it will work.

The next day, it wasn't until noon that Yun Anan went to Yingtian Academy to report.

Last night, due to some unforeseen circumstances, I slept until noon again.

As soon as she entered Yingtian Academy, she saw a woman she really didn't want to see.

Mr. Yun is back.

In a soft voice, eyes full of tenderness.

Li Ruolan laughed, her smile as beautiful as a blooming flower. She looked just like one.

"Um."

She simply replied with a sound, and Yun An'an turned to leave. The voice behind her rang out again.

"Master Yun, please wait a moment. There are some things that Luo Lan wants to tell you."

What's up

Li Ruolan took a step forward, and Yun An'an took a step back to maintain a safe distance.

"Well, a few days ago, I saw a man in front of the Yiwu Mansion. He was wearing strange clothes. I went to ask him about it, and he said that he was an old acquaintance of the master."

"An old friend"

I'm not sure if Li Ruolan was telling the truth. If what she said is true, why didn't the guards from the palace speak up when it was her turn

"Yes, I asked him his name, but he refused to tell me, only asking me to tell Master Yun that Barrett's work was a bit rough."

As they were speaking, Li Ruolan paid close attention to Yun An'an's expressions, especially when she mentioned Barrett. She clearly saw a flash of surprise in her eyes.

"Master Yun, what is Barrett"

"Just a little thing, didn't he say anything else"

Yun An'an asked again, Li Ruolan shook her head.

"After that, on my subsequent visits to Yi Wangfu, I never saw the man in his strange attire again."

"Understood, thank you."

Upon arriving at Xie, Yun'an glanced at Li Ruolan, uttered a single sentence, then turned and walked towards the Jia Ding class.

After that, Master Li had nothing to do and rarely went to Prince Yi's Mansion. The prince was busy during this time.

Watching the back gradually disappear from view, Li Ruolan's eyes, which were once filled with tenderness, were instantly replaced by coldness and malice.

"Yun'an An."

"The time is ripe, I want to see how long you can keep boasting."

Except for Li Ruolan, no one else knows when the action took place. But it can be confirmed that the timing of the action must have something to do with Yun An'an.

Class A, Group Ding.

In the classroom, Yuwenxiu was explaining previously learned lessons, consolidating knowledge.

On the nearby rocking chair, You Changyuan was sleeping soundly, not at all like a teacher who should be educating others.

Yun'an frowned. He couldn't possibly keep "teaching" like this for the entire journey, could he

Suddenly, a white figure attacked from behind.

As soon as the words left her mouth, Yun An'an swiftly grabbed Gongsun Lang's hand and with a swift over-the-shoulder throw, sent him crashing to the ground.

"Mother has finally returned, Lang'er misses you very much."

Gongsun Lang, who wanted to hug Yun An'an from behind but was knocked down like a somersault, still smiled 'brightly'.

Attracted by Gongsun Lang's voice, Yuwen Xiu and the others in the classroom all turned their heads. The moment they saw Yun An'an, the students rushed out of the classroom in a swarm.

"Master, Master, you're back!"

"I thought you were a hermit living in Taichi Mountain."

"Master, tell us, what's fun about Mount Taiji"

Everyone chimed in, waking You Changyuan from his slumber.

Yu Changyuan, who was still dreaming, got up in a daze, wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and walked a few steps to Yun Annan's face. He patted her shoulder.

"Just come back, old man will go to sleep first. We'll talk about anything tomorrow."

Yu Changyuan didn't even want to open his eyes, and left the First Grade Ding Squad stumblingly.

What did you do to the dean

"Nothing much, Master. While you were away, we've all been very obedient and haven't played truant. We practice our swordsmanship diligently every day."

If someone else had said this, Yun Annan would have believed them.

But when it comes out of Xue Qiancheng's mouth, there's definitely something fishy going on.

As it turned out, Yun'an'an's intuition was right.

Classmate Jia, from the Ding Class, didn't spar with his fellow students from the Yingtian Academy, but he brutally beat up a group of hooligans outside school. The beaten ruffians then went to Yingtian Academy to complain to You Changyuan.

He was accused of being a bad teacher who failed to discipline his students and even allowed them to hit others.

"What's going on Did Dàbǎo join in the commotion too"

"Master, let me tell you, Da Bao is the most ruthless when it comes to fighting. Don't look at him as chubby, innocent, and friendly; once he starts a brawl, we three can't pull him apart!"need."Yunan An arrived and with pen and paper, she wrote down the needed medicinal herbs, needles, and other supplies.Beichen Han then ordered everyone to leave the hall.At this time, only Han Ying, w...
