Immortal Dynasty Hounds

Chapter 69 Raging Demonic Flames
"By the way, have you found the princess's whereabouts?"

Zhuo Biyu's words made Lian Shanxin's heart skip a beat.

Qi Shiyun casually replied, "I've only been in Jiangzhou for a few days, how could I have time to visit the princess? What, is His Majesty urging me?"

"No, that's not true. Before I left the capital, several princes and princesses approached me openly and secretly, telling us 'Nine Heavens' not to put in so much effort."

Zhuo Biyu's tone was also very casual.

"The 'Heavenly Calculation' expert only calculated that the princess was in Jiangzhou. Jiangzhou is so big, who can say for sure that we can find that princess who has been living among the common people? I'm afraid that if we find her, we might be resented by the princesses who have already been granted titles."

Lian Shanxin took the initiative to ask a question he was concerned about: "Miss Zhuo, does His Majesty have many children?"

Zhuo Biyu objectively said, "Our Emperor is wise and mighty, and has extraordinary energy."

"Your Majesty is mighty," Lian Shanxin said with admiration.

I can finally relax completely.

His guess was right; the top-ranked guy is very prolific.

So even without Zeng Ningbing, there will be no shortage of another princess.

"It seems His Highness the Crown Prince's health has been a bit off lately." Tian Ji also started gossiping about the capital city: "The Second Prince's frequent actions have made His Highness the Crown Prince's already poor health even worse. The Eastern Palace has already announced that anyone who presents a thousand-year-old snow lotus will be rewarded with ten thousand gold pieces and granted the title of Earl."

Lian Shanxin remained calm and composed.

Qi Shiyun yawned sleepily: "The Crown Prince's health has never been good, it's nothing new. It's getting late, everyone should go and rest, we can talk about it tomorrow."

"Alright."

Lian Shanxin was the first to take his leave.

A lot happened today.

He needs to go back and reflect on his experience before preparing for his studies at Bailudong Academy.

Lian Shanxin never expected that Tian Ji would leave with him.

"Brother Lianshan, I'm new to Jiangzhou and have nowhere to stay. We feel like old friends, would it be convenient for me to stay at your place?"

Lian Shanxin looked at Tian Ji with suspicion: "Brother Tian, ​​isn't this request a bit presumptuous?"

Tian Ji explained, "It is indeed a bit presumptuous. Our lineage has always been hermits, and I am new to the world, so I don't want to be too conspicuous."

“Brother Tian doesn’t look like a hermit,” Lian Shan said.

Tian Ji chuckled and said, “My master is... but his realm is too high for me to reach. I am still at an age where I cannot see through fame and fortune. Perhaps in another thirty years, I will be able to see through the world like my master. Right now, I do not want to disobey my master’s teachings, nor do I want to remain detached from the world forever. Therefore, I ask Brother Lianshan to lend me a hand.”

"I'm facing quite a few troubles," Lian Shanxin kindly reminded me.

Tian Ji didn't take it to heart: "Brother, it's not that I look down on you. If this were in the capital, I wouldn't dare say such a thing. But in Jiangzhou, I can handle any trouble you've caused."

Lian Shanxin stopped and carefully examined Tian Ji for a few moments.

Then he laughed heartily: "Deal."

Since they are so sincere, Young Master Xin really can't turn them away.

“I have a private room at the academy. Brother Tian, ​​you can sleep next to me tonight. Tomorrow, I will arrange a house for you in Jiangzhou City. What do you say?”

"That would be great." Tian Ji was overjoyed: "Consider it a favor I owe you. Don't hesitate to come to me if you need anything."

"Don't worry, I won't stand on ceremony. Brother Tian, ​​why don't you ask Scholar Qi to make the arrangements for you?"

Tian Ji explained, "Qi Fengzi is too troublesome. I might not be able to handle her troubles, but I can handle yours."

Lian Shanxin smiled sincerely, truly hoping that Tian Ji could live up to the boast he had made.

"Moreover, our lineage values ​​fate the most. The first person I met when I arrived in Jiangzhou was you. That's our destiny."

"I will cherish this bond with Brother Wada," Renshan Xin said sincerely.

……

The day after Dai Yueying's death.

It was also the day that Bailudong Academy officially opened for the new semester.

This year has been unlucky for Bailudong Academy. The deputy headmaster was discovered to be an elder of the Demonic Sect, and the headmaster resigned to take responsibility. "Tianjian" will temporarily take over as headmaster and will give a speech at the opening ceremony.

Lian Shanxin naturally wanted to support Zhang Aniu, so he got up early to wash up.

"Brother Tian, ​​you can sleep a little longer. After class, I'll take you back to Jiangzhou City to settle down." "Okay."

Tian Ji readily accepted the good advice and quickly started snoring.

Lian Shanxin was very envious of this pig-like sleep.

After quickly washing up, Lian Shanxin pushed open the door, lightly tapped his right foot, and flew onto the roof in the next moment.

Facing the rising sun, Lian Shanxin sat cross-legged in meditation, attempting to absorb the essence of the sun and moon and begin to solidify his realm of true intention.

Half an hour later, Lian Shanxin opened his eyes, feeling that he had made considerable progress, and nodded in satisfaction.

It then sped towards Minglun Hall, twice as fast as it had been yesterday.

Minglun Hall, also known as Yilun Hall, is a brick and wood structure with white tiles and gray roof. It has a gable roof and four bays with a front corridor. It was the place where the academy held classes. A couplet hangs outside: "Deer and pigs roam together, a place where self and things are forgotten; springs and peaks reflect each other, a heaven where benevolence and wisdom are uniquely attained."

Upon arriving at Minglun Hall, Lian Shanxin discovered that about half of his classmates had already arrived, and he also saw Zeng Ningbing and Mingren's younger sister.

However, the two women didn't notice him and were whispering together, talking about something.

Lian Shanxin nodded slightly: "Now Zeng Ningbing has truly become a demon, no wonder she is the offspring of the number one leader."

His Majesty himself is connected with demons, and even with an elder of the demonic sect.

It makes perfect sense that his daughter is a demon.

Lian Shanxin has accepted reality and is beginning to think about when to capture and bring these two demonic witches to justice.

Another half hour passed.

It was time for Zhang Aniu to speak, but he didn't come.

The students were talking a lot.

Lian Shanxin also found it somewhat strange.

Just then, he saw Qi Shiyun waving at him.

Lian Shanxin quickly stepped forward and came to Qi Shiyun's side.

"Qi Tanhua, where is Lord Tianjian?"

Qi Shiyun whispered, "We've been assassinated."

"What?" Lian Shanxin's pupils dilated: "Where were you assassinated?"

"The Prefectural Governor's Residence".

Lian Shanxin gasped, "Governor Jiang, you've got quite the 'black pot' (meaning you're a bit of a scoundrel)."

He didn't think the governor would dare to assassinate Tianjian in his own home.

Qi Shiyun's expression was grave: "Was Tian Ji with you last night?"

Lian Shanxin was taken aback: "Yes, I am."

"Are you sure?" Qi Shiyun continued to ask.

Lian Shanxin suddenly became uncertain: "Tian Ji is a grandmaster. I slept very soundly. I can only be sure that he was there before I fell asleep and after I woke up."

Qi Shiyun gave Lian Shanxin a deep look and reminded him, "Remember, Tian Ji slept with you last night."

Lian Shanxin: "...Where are you and Miss Zhuo, the third-ranked scholar?"

“We slept together too,” Qi Shiyun said directly.

Lian Shanxin gasped again at the aroma: "Qi Tanhua, you guys don't have that much guts, do you?"

“I can confirm that Zhuo Biyu and I did not make any moves, so don’t make wild guesses. Lord Tianjian was furious after the assassination attempt. He didn’t want the governor’s office to investigate the matter and preferred that we investigate it ourselves. You have talent in this area, so I recommended you, and Lord Tianjian agreed.”

Qi Shiyun placed her hands on Lian Shanxin's shoulders, looked him in the eye, and asked earnestly, "Do you know how to investigate?"

Lian Shanxin nodded solemnly: "I know, this is 'Thousand Faces' counterattack. The demonic cultists in Jiangzhou City are too arrogant."

Qi Shiyun was equally solemn: "The demonic flames are raging and arrogant, but in order to restore a bright and clear world for the people of Jiangzhou, we will never be afraid."

　I'll schedule future updates for noon to avoid everyone staying up late and me doing the same. Cultivating immortality is too harmful to the body; let's all maintain healthy sleep schedules.
