It was getting dark, and Ling'er became more and more uneasy as he thought about it. Finally, at the end of the first watch, he went out with his sword in hand, preparing to guard near Wenshan Academy.
In fact, Ling'er didn't know what he was doing there. If he really met Brother Qi Yang, what could he do? Stop him, or help him?
Ling'er only knew that she was full of uneasiness and anxiety, and she couldn't stay at home like this and do nothing.
But when Ling'er just flew up the eaves and was about to leave, he was stopped by Ji Cangyu.
"Why is it you?" Ji Cangyu looked at the sword in Ling'er's hand in surprise and asked, "Where are you going in the middle of the night?"
Ling'er didn't know how to answer, so he just stood there with his head bowed.
"How is it appropriate for a girl to run out in the middle of the night? And it's dark and windy at night. Don't you know how dangerous it is outside?" Ji Cangyu scolded.
"I know I was wrong." Ling'er said softly.
"It's good to know that you're wrong. Since you haven't rested yet, check my pulse. My chest is stuffy and very uncomfortable." Ji Cangyu frowned.
After hearing this, Ling'er looked up at the full moon in the sky and thought: "Uncle Ji's strange disease is indeed related to the rise and fall of Yin Qi."
After returning to Ji Cangyu's bedroom, Ling'er repeatedly checked Ji Cangyu's pulse several times, but never found anything abnormal about his pulse.
"Is there anything unusual again?" Ji Cangyu asked.
Ling'er didn't answer, but Ji Cangyu already guessed the answer.
Ling'er thought to himself: "It seems that Uncle Ji's heart ailment has occurred again. But why is this heart ailment related to the rise and fall of Yin Qi?" This really puzzled Ling'er.
After checking Ji Cangyu's pulse, it was already past the second watch.
When Ling'er was hesitating whether to go to Wenshan Academy again, Ji Cangyu said: "From now on, you are not allowed to go out at night. Don't think you are safe in the capital. There are more thieves in the capital than anywhere else."
"I know." Ling'er had no choice but to go back to the room angrily.

Look at the sun in September.
Linger got up early in the morning and sneaked out of Jijiazhuang.
Worried about what happened last night, she rushed to Qingfeng Inn first.
The Qingfeng Inn was deserted, with only a few diners having breakfast.
Ling'er had no choice but to sit down and wait, while ordering some breakfast.
Ling'er was thinking that it was a rare day when Xiaoxu was not in the inn when she saw Xiaoxu walking into the inn.
Xiaoxu also saw Ling'er, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet her warmly: "Girl, why are you so early today?"
"Well, I'm here to find Feng'er and the others." Ling'er said.
"There has been no news about Qingfengxia in the past few days. Those ladies will not come over until the sun rises." Xiaoxu said with a smile.
Ling'er's heart brightened. Even if the well-informed "Feng'er" people said that Qingfeng Xia didn't take action, Qingfeng Xia didn't necessarily take action. But Xiaoxu was different. He said that there was no news about Qingfeng Xia. It is certain that there is no news about Qingfengxia.
Ling'er's heart, which had been hanging for a long time, finally settled down. She asked: "Did you go to Qi's house across the street just now? Is Brother Qi Yang back?"
"No." Xiaoxu shook his head and continued, "The second master is in the west of Beijing, and the younger one just sent him a letter."
"Sending a letter? It must be a very important letter, right?" Ling'er said.
"It should be very important! It's a letter from Zhenbao Villa." Xiaoxu whispered in Ling'er's ear.
"Jewel Villa?" Ling'er was shocked. Is it about the reward for the ancient books of Wenshan Academy? Her heart, which had just fallen to the ground, was beginning to rise again.
Seeing that Ling'er's beauty turned pale, Xiao Xu didn't know the reason. After thinking about it, he said, "Isn't this strange? Zhenbao Villa and the second master often exchange letters."
This sentence really comforted Ling'er greatly, and she said to Xiaoxu: "I have to go to Fentan."
Xiaoxu watched Ling'er leave.

But when Ling'er arrived at the Jingxi branch, Qi Yang went out again.
"Do you know where Brother Qi Yang has gone?" Ling'er asked the Yixing disciple who was guarding the gate.
The Yixing disciples shook their heads and said, "Brother Qi didn't explain anything. I only know that he went west."
"To the west? To the west is away from the capital. Last time I heard sister Qian'er say that Zhenbao Villa is in a small town to the west of the capital. Is Brother Qiyang going to Zhenbao Villa?" Ling'er thought to herself.
A member of the Yixing clan said, "Miss, is there anything wrong with Brother Qi? Brother Qi should be back soon."
Ling'er thought for a while and said, "Give me a horse too! I'll go find him."
Without saying a word, the Yixing clan brought a white horse for Ling'er.

Upon learning that Qi Yang was coming, Qi Yunshu came to entertain him personally.
"I kept you waiting for a long time." Qi Yunshu said with a smile.
"It doesn't matter." Qi Yang said, "The letter from Lord Qizhuang said that the things have arrived?"
"Well, the 'Soul Locking Pill' has arrived. I didn't expect that the second master would come over as soon as he received the news." Qi Yunshu said, with a calculating light flashing in his eyes.
"I really need the 'Soul Locking Pill', and the price is negotiable." Qi Yang said frankly.
Qi Yunshu said with a smile: "Don't worry, Second Master, the things will be kept for you. Qi wants to talk to Second Master about another thing first."
"Master Qizhuang, please speak." Qi Yang said.
"It's like this. A few days ago, a mysterious figure offered a lot of money to get Wenshan Academy's "Monogatari Listening to the Wind."" Qi Yunshu said with a smile.
"Master Qizhuang has so many masters at his disposal, even a mere copy of Monogatari Listening to the Wind is no problem." Qi Yang said.
"It seems that the second master is not interested in the ancient book, but I wonder if the second master is interested in the two thousand taels of gold?" Qi Yunshu asked with a smile.
"Two thousand taels of gold?" Qi Yang asked with raised eyebrows, "He doesn't want the ancient book, but someone's life, right?"
"Then he still missed the two thousand taels of gold!" Qi Yunshu said with a smile, "I wonder if the second master is interested?"
"I have some trivial matters these days." Qi Yang declined politely.
"Second Master really regards money as dirt! He doesn't even care about these two thousand taels of gold!" Qi Yunshu felt a little disappointed, and then he asked, "Is it possible that only the 'Soul Locking Pill' can catch your eye?"
"Is Master Qi planning to give the 'Soul Locking Pill' to me at a high price of two thousand taels of gold?" Qi Yang raised his eyebrows.
"You know the goods, you should know that this 'Soul Locking Pill' is marketable and priceless." Qi Yunshu said with a smile.
Qi Yang lowered his eyes and said, "Then let me think about it for a few more days!"
"Second Master, please listen to Qi Mou's words again. Second Master will definitely not lose out on this deal. Don't you really want to know the identity of that mysterious figure?" Qi Yunshu said with a smile.
Qi Yang hesitated for a moment and then said: "I have other important things to do recently."
"Qi can wait." Qi Yunshu couldn't hide his joy when he saw that things had turned around.
"Can we wait?" Qi Yang asked.
"As long as the second master agrees, Qi can wait as long as he wants." Qi Yunshu looked at Qi Yang expectantly.
"Okay then!" Qi Yang nodded.
Qi Yunshu breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'd like to ask Lord Qizhuang to keep the 'Soul Locking Pill' for me. I'll take my leave now." Qi Yang said.
"Second Master, go slowly." Qi Yunshu said, personally sending Qi Yang to the door.
After Qi Yang rode away, a steward walked up to Qi Yunshu and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the owner of the village for making another big deal."
Qi Yunshu said with a smile: "It's not easy!"
"The owner of the village is good at planning. No wonder he asked about the 'Soul Locking Pill' a few days ago," the steward said.
"How can money buy someone like Mr. Qi who is neither fame nor profit?" Qi Yunshu said with a smile.
