kept calling me brother."It's not the wine that's the problem, it's the glass.Bei Chen Yi cannot drink alcohol during her treatment, otherwise all her efforts will be in vain. She'll have to take his...: []
On the other side, after shaking off the pursuers behind them, Beichen Yi and Yun Anan arrived at an alley.
The moonlight stretched the couple's figures long and thin, and in the alleyway besides the two of them there was also an old man trembling with cold.
The elderly man who questioned the auction of the nameless scripture at the black market was none other than Xiao Lao Tou.
"Two valiant heroes, please spare my life. This old man doesn't know where he has offended you, and begs you to show mercy and spare his life."
How did you know the forgeries of the untitled scrolls at the black market auction
Yun'an lowered her voice and asked the elder why he knew the Wuzitianshu was a forgery.
If she hadn't had the nameless scripture in her hands, she wouldn't have known that the goods auctioned on the black market were fake.
"As for the words of a valiant man, in my younger days I once witnessed a genuine Wǔzì Tiānshū. Only then did I understand that this Wǔzì Tiānshū was not truly without words."
Where have you witnessed the genuine, blank celestial book
Isn't the Wuzitianshu always enshrined in the ancestral hall of Ruiqin Wangfu
More than fifty years ago, when I was still young, I went with the guards of Prince Rui's Mansion to a tomb. Inside the tomb, there was an untitled scripture.
The elder spoke of what he had seen and heard.
Initially, an earthquake caused a mountain slope to collapse, revealing an ancient tomb buried within. The elderly Wang Ye, the head of Rui's Mansion, personally led a team to excavate the tomb.
Because he was unfamiliar with the terrain, he hired several local people as guides, and he was one of them.
The ancient tomb was fraught with perilous mechanisms, and by the time they reached the main burial chamber, only a tenth of the original group remained. The Wuzitianshu, or "Book Without Words," was found within a colossal coffin.
"Old Wang was kind and didn't kill me. He even gave me money to earn a living, which allowed me to survive until now."
If someone else were in his place, I'm afraid the entire clan of the old man would be wiped out.
"I see."
How many more things is this old fox, Bei Chen Zong Rui, hiding from her
"Consider today never happened. If you want to live, I advise you to leave Kyoto tonight."
A bag of silver was placed before the old man, and when he raised his head, the person had vanished.
It was already past midnight when we returned to the Yiwangfu.
Yun An'an took off her black robe and gazed at the nameless heavenly scripture inlaid with red and blue gemstones, scrutinizing it carefully.
"Uncle, look, there are words here."
On the side of the counterfeit blank scripture, some writing can be seen from a certain angle.
The words were a jumble, she could only vaguely make out the two characters "xia juan".
"Lower volume Wait for me!"
As if remembering something, Yun Anan rummaged through boxes and drawers looking for the genuine blank heavenly book in her hand.
When viewed from the same angle, there were some faint characters on the side of the genuine blank scripture. Yun An’an noticed the words "upper scroll" .
Upper and lower volumes
Suddenly, a daring guess popped into Yun An'an's mind.
By the candlelight, Yun Anan opened the genuine blank scroll in her hand to the first page, which perfectly aligned with the first page of the fake one.
When two blank books are overlaid, the originally empty pages, when illuminated, project a map onto the second page.
The third pages of the two blank books repeated each other, and a new map appeared on the fourth page.
"Uncle... the nameless scriptures sold on the black market aren't fakes, they're the lower scroll."
Heaven knows that even the Heavenly Book of Unwritten Characters is divided into two volumes.
Grugru~
Swallowing nervously, Yun Anan smiled a little awkwardly.
"Did I ruin Yuo Shan"
Yun An'an rarely had a moment of conscience, but now she felt a bit uneasy.
But she's absolutely not going back, at the very least she wants a little more money.
……
Having discovered a new way to use the scriptless book, Yun Anan didn't sleep all night, organizing the map projected by the scriptless book.
Ten small images are like a jigsaw puzzle, with no correct coordinates, no sequence, and it's impossible to put together a complete picture.
Until the next day when she went to school, Yun An'an looked listless with panda eyes.
"Master, did you do something bad last night"
Xue Qiancheng had a wicked grin on his face.
"Ha~"
Yún n'ān yawned and was too lazy to pay attention to Xuě Qiānchéng, who continued lecturing.
One morning passed quickly, and it was almost time to get off work.
"Tomorrow I will start my vacation, the headmaster will be teaching in my place. You all should study hard. If I come back and hear that the headmaster has given you a bad report, you're in trouble."
"How long will the master be gone"
The distance to Taiji Mountain is neither near nor far. Plus, with the time off, it's probably going to be half a month before I can return.
"Just let things happen. I've already handed the schedule to the Dean. You guys need to practice your swordsmanship diligently every day, and don't be lazy. Also, take good care of Gongsun Lang, understand"
Yun'an looked at Gongsun Lang. While she said it was about taking care of him, she was actually hinting that Gongsun Lang should pay more attention to the safety of Class A and Ding.
"Understood, Mother. Don't worry, Lang will be good."
"Master,"
Zhu Dabo slowly stood up, bashfully lowering his head, and then lifting it again. He took out an envelope from his backpack and handed it to Yun Annan.
"What is this"
The envelope was bulging. Was it her travel money
"Master is going to Taigu Mountain and will pass by Wantu County…Wantu County has suffered a disaster this year. I want Master to send this money to my father."
Zhu Dabao's voice was very soft, and Yun An'an could only barely hear a few words.
"Zhu Dabei, can you speak louder You're so fat, why is your voice so small"
Xue Qiancheng teased Zhu Dabao, his voice as soft as a mosquito's whine. They didn't need such a weakling in their Grade A Ding class.
"Master, Da Bao said that Wan Tong County suffered a disaster this year. He wants to entrust you with delivering four thousand taels of silver notes to the magistrate of Wan Tong County for disaster relief."
Yuwen Xiu recounted what Zhu Dabao had wanted to say.
Four thousand ounces meant nothing to Yun An'an, but for many poor people, it was a sum of money they could never earn in their lifetime.
Zhu Dabao bowed to Yun An'an and then returned to his own position.
"Alright, I'll bring it to you."
Having received the envelope, Yun Anan continued to instruct those in Class A, Ding, on the matters they should pay attention to during her absence.
It’s finally time to get off work.
Yun An'an was taking light, quick steps and was about to leave. Before she could even get out of the Jia Ding class, Xue Qiancheng and Zi Ming ran up and blocked her way.
"You really don't want to see us, do you Walking and singing all the way."
Xue Qiancheng frowned, he could clearly see just now, this woman humming a song like that was indescribably happy.
"Speak your mind if you have something to say, I've got things to do."
"Cut it out, here you go~ This is my and Qi Ming's money, a total of three thousand five hundred taels."
Xue Qiancheng gave Yun An'an 3,500 taels of silver notes. As he was giving them out, he felt it was inappropriate and drew back two hundred-tael silver notes from the 3,500 taels.
"We should still keep some for emergencies."
"Respect your father"
"Bull****, that's for Zhu Dabao's father! Wan Tong County wasn't affected by the disaster, how come Zhu Dabao is also one of our Class A Household members If he's in trouble, lend him a hand!"
Xue Qiancheng and Qi Ming's actions were quite unexpected to Yun An'an.
"You two are quite something! Father is very proud!"
“Why do you always want to be our dad, when you're actually younger than me”
Xue Qiangcheng grumbled in dissatisfaction, while Qiming chuckled beside him.
"Master, this is my two thousand taels of silver. Take it with you as well."
"Master, I have three thousand taels here... No, make it two thousand nine hundred."
"Here are five thousand taels, please trouble the Master to bring them to Wan Tong County."
Tang Jie, Wen Xiu and other top-tier Ding class students from the academy all took out the money they had earned in recent days. The small amounts accumulated to a large sum, with An Yun'an holding several tens of thousands taels of silver bills in her hands.
Zhu Da Bao, not far away, had his eyes red and tears streaming down his face. He bowed deeply to the crowd.
Thank you.
"Thanks for what We're all classmates in the same class. It's only natural to help each other out when something happens."
Looking at the students helping each other, Yun An felt very pleased as a teacher.
"My dearest sons, you have grown so much."
"Mr. Yun!"
……
Most of the matters concerning Class A and Class D have already been explained.
At the gate of Yutian Academy, You Changyuan bid farewell to Bie Yun'an.
"Rest assured, Mr. Yun. While you're on vacation, I will take good care of the children."
"On this point, I can rest assured. The dean is one of the top three carefree immortals in the Seven Kingdoms."
Yun Anan smiled sweetly at Yu Changyuan, looking at him so intently that a chill ran down his spine.
"Master Yun, please don't look at this old man with such eyes. This old man is advanced in years and can't stand intimidation."
"I wouldn't dare to threaten the Immortal Xiao Yao, but you know, Dabao's father is in Wan Tong County, and Wan Tong County has suffered a disaster. As the dean, shouldn't you show some concern"
A goose's passing leaves a few feathers behind, and a person's passing leaves footprints.
Besides, she believed that this old man and Yun Qian Shan definitely didn't do anything good at the black market last night. If they hadn't extorted money from Ruoshan, her three characters "Yun An An" would be written backward.
"Oh~~ Oh! That's natural, as the headmaster of Yantian Academy, I should express my gratitude. Here are five taels of silver."
Saying that, Yu Changyuan reluctantly handed the five taels of silver to Yun An'an.
"Five taels"
"Little...little what ...It's a little less, then fifty taels."
"Fifty taels"
Yun An'an raised an eyebrow.
"As the headmaster of Yingtian Academy, a top-three expert among the Seven Kingdoms known as the Immortal Wanderer, and the head of the Yu family, renowned pharmacists across the Seven Kingdoms, do you really think fifty taels is an appropriate fee for your services"
"Master Yun… you're engaging in moral blackmail. Do I look like a rich man"
Heh~
Yunan smiled happily.
"Moral blackmail You don't seem like an ethical person, three thousand two hundred, lump sum."
"Why don't you just take the old man's life then"
You Changyuan, as always, adhered to the principle of "taking money but not life," and Yun Anan spent time idly.
But in the end, he still lost and obediently gave up 30,000 taels.
Because Yun An an promised to cook him a lavish feast until he could eat no more.
Extortioned Yu Changyuan, Yun Qianshan will still be far away.
Before returning to the Duke's mansion, Yun An sat in the carriage and went straight to Yun Xiangfu.
And Yun Qianshan, who had received the news beforehand, closed the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion tightly.
"Old Man Yun, if you don't open the door I'm going to break in! If I break something, like flowers, plants, or valuable antiques, don't come crying to me!"
Just as Yun An'an was about to kick the door in, it opened.
Yun Qianshan walked out with a face full of resentment, reluctantly pulling out a pile of silver notes from his sleeve.
"Eight thousand taels, this is my coffin money. Dare to ask for one more cent, and I'll die right in front of you."re, now I only know regret, what use is that!"General Han."His warm voice carried a hint of coldness.At an unknown time, Yuan Si Nian in a white robe appeared in the courtyard.
