People in the Imperial Music Bureau: The Storytelling Demon Child Nezha

Second-rank officials are everywhere, while first-rank officials are a real headache.

Xu Qi'an was talking about what happened that day, and he listened with great boredom.

Xu Pingzhi returned soon.

He also brought back some green tangerines for the little boy.

The little one doesn't want to eat.

"Father couldn't eat anymore, so Qiye Guo gave me some of the food."

Xu Pingzhi was speechless.

I have no choice but to eat it myself.

The family started eating, but Xu Xinnian hadn't returned from Yunlu Academy.

Li Qiye felt like he had forgotten something.

Is there some poem that you forgot to give to the two great scholars?

It doesn't matter, we'll talk about it when they want it.

After eating, Li Ru planned to move tomorrow, and Qi Ye would go to the Jiaofangsi to perform storytelling, while everyone else would stay home to help.

After making this plan, Li Qiye went to rest.

Meanwhile, at the same time, the night watchman's office and the Haoqi Tower.

Wei Yuan, dressed in a blue robe, is drinking tea.

Nangong Qianrou walked in.

"Godfather, tomorrow at 5 PM, Li Qi will be telling the story of the Demon Child causing havoc in the sea."

Wei Yuan glanced sideways upon hearing this.

"Why do you want to go?"

Nangong Qianrou quickly said, "No, I wanted to ask my godfather if he's going or not."

Wei Yuan flicked his robe and said, "Of course I'll go!"

"Prepare some silver."

Nangong Qianrou gave a sassy smile and quickly went to prepare.

On the other side, the Imperial Observatory.

Six floors.

Chu Caiwei sat on the table, swinging her legs and eating sugarcane.

Song Qing was studying alchemy nearby.

Chu Caiwei asked.

"Senior brother, the Jiaofangsi (a government-run entertainment institution) just announced that they will be telling stories about Nezha and the Demon Child causing havoc in the sea for seven nights tomorrow. Do you want to go?"

Upon hearing this, Song Qing immediately put down what she was holding and said decisively, "Yes, of course I'll go!"

Chu Caiwei's pretty face was filled with surprise.

His senior brother, an alchemy fanatic, actually put aside his alchemy work to listen to storytelling.

In response to Chu Caiwei's surprise, Song Qing offered this explanation.

I'm very curious about how Li Qiye, Nezha, and Ao Bing's physical bodies will be reconstructed!

Chu Caiwei suddenly realized.

Indeed, she was curious too.

The two decided to skip work tomorrow to attend the meeting.

However, at this moment, a surge of magical energy began to flow, followed by the drifting of peach blossoms that came into view.

"This is!"

Chu Caiwei and Song Qing's eyes widened in shock.

He is back!

Yang Qianhuan!

On the other side, Yunlu Academy.

Zhang Shen and Li Mubai also heard the news.

"Quick, quick, get ready to listen to the audiobook."

"He hasn't given me my poem yet."

The two were packing up when they ran into Zhao Shou, the headmaster of the academy, before they could even leave the house.

"Where are you going?"

As a second-rank scholar, Zhao Shou was well aware of Li Qiye's reputation.

“These days, your visits to the Jiaofangsi to listen to storytelling have become quite famous in the capital.”

"The Imperial College has made quite a few jokes."

Zhang Shen and Li Mubai held the Imperial Academy in utter contempt.

"They're a bunch of pedantic bookworms, completely unaware of young friend Qiye's talent."

The Imperial Academy held Li Qiye, the storyteller, in particularly low regard.

Zhao Shou had been curious for a long time, "Tomorrow, I will go with you."

Zhang Shen and Li Mubai were surprised.

The director is going to the Jiaofangsi (a government-run entertainment district)!!

Huaiqing, Wang Simu, Lin'an, Mu Nanzhi, and Luo Yuheng also found out.

It can be said that everyone in the capital of the Great Feng Dynasty knew him.

They all planned to go and listen to the story of the mischievous child causing havoc in the sea.

Candlelight flickers in the palace.

Emperor Yuanjing was practicing Taoism.

Not long after, the eunuch walked in.

"Your Majesty, tomorrow at 0 PM, Li Qi will be telling the story of 'The Demon Child Havoc in the Sea'..."

Emperor Yuanjing opened his eyes.

After pondering for a long time, he ordered, "Tomorrow you will go and listen, and tell me everything you hear, not a single word is omitted."

Upon hearing this, the eunuch couldn't help but think to himself: Your Majesty, you really want to hear this but don't want to go.

This old servant would be too impolite to refuse.

The eunuch was overjoyed to be able to leave the palace to listen to the story of "The Demon Child's Havoc in the Sea," and he loved it.

And so, amidst the anticipation of countless literati and scholars in the Great Feng Dynasty, the night passed.

The next day, at the hour of You (5-7 PM)!

The Jiaofangsi (Imperial Music Bureau) was already overflowing with people; all the side rooms were empty, and there was nowhere to stand on the main stage.

Zhao Shou was in a first-class cabin with the two men this time.

The old man still cared about his reputation.

Wei Yuan remained seated on the platform, as did Wang Simu. Chu Caiwei and Song Qing, however, had somewhat unusual expressions, their eyes showing worry, panic, and fear.

It seems they knew something bad was about to happen.

Huaiqing and Lin'an are already in the side rooms.

They were all waiting for Li Qiye.

At this moment, Li Qiye had already arrived at the street behind the Jiaofangsi (a government-run entertainment venue).

He guessed that there would be a large crowd in front of the Jiaofangsi today.

This is my first time visiting Backstreet.

There were far fewer people.

There were quite a few vendors, but what caught Li Qiye's attention the most was a person dressed as a Taoist priest.

This man had long, black and white hair tied up, his eyes shone with wisdom, and his sideburns hung down. The way he waved his whisk exuded the air of a master.

However, seeing his face instantly makes you think he's some kind of charlatan, or in short, a fraud!

He played archery as a game, throwing two taels of silver at a time, and winning a prize if he hit the target.

He looks somewhat like Master Jinlian.

Li Qiye glanced at him sideways.

And as if his guess had been confirmed, Jinlian also noticed him for a moment.

Upon seeing Li Qiye, Jinlian rushed forward, her hopeful gaze as if she had found the person she was looking for.

Li Qiye planned to leave.

A figure flashed in front of him.

"Taoist priest?"

"What's the matter with you?"

Li Qiye frowned slightly.

Jinlian asked, "Are you Mr. Qiye, a storyteller from the Jiaofangsi?"

Li Qiye nodded. "Who are you, Daoist Master?"

Jinlian introduced herself, "My Taoist name is Jinlian."

Upon hearing this, Li Qiye's eyes flickered slightly.

Jinlian! It really was him!

He asked, "What business does Daoist Jinlian have with this young man?"

Jinlian explained, "Young friend Qiye, this humble Taoist priest has great fortune in your temple and will bestow upon you a magical artifact of great opportunity."

Li Qiye knew perfectly well what he was going to send.

He feigned curiosity and asked, "What kind of magical artifact?"

Jinlian smiled mysteriously and took out a long mirror that looked like green jade from her sleeve.

Exquisite and mysterious.

Li Qiye knew what it was in an instant.

A small jade mirror, fragments of the book written on the ground.

The function of that thing is storage space.

It can also be used for communication, which is somewhat useful, but not very practical.

He had a slight headache.

This thing should be given to Xu Qi'an, why give it to him?

Moreover, Li Qiye also knew the purpose behind Master Jinlian's actions.

The goal is to eliminate Black Lotus, the leader of the Earth Sect.

Back then, the leader of the Earth Sect made a mistake in his cultivation, which caused him to split into two, one good and one evil, the Golden Lotus and the Black Lotus. The Black Lotus, representing evil, now controls the Earth Sect.

It can be said that Black Lotus is a wicked and evil demon who does all sorts of evil deeds.

As for why Jinlian sought out Li Qiye, it was because she had heard the story of Nezha. Li Qiye possessed so many magical artifacts and was also a demon, so he could surely suppress the Black Lotus.

The pollution of the Black Lotus is extremely terrifying; it can cause people to lose their minds and go mad.

Li Qiye was the best way to suppress him.
