Chen Yang was slightly startled. He felt as if he had been kissed. Tian Lai Xiao said that he also knew that it was healing, and he also knew that Qiao Ning was not someone he could make fun of.
"Where's Nie Meiniang? And how's the old demon from the mountain doing?" Chen Yang asked Qiao Ning.
Qiao Ning said: "I don't know, I brought you here after you were injured."
Chen Yang looked at the sky. At this time, the bright moon was in the sky, and the earth was silver-grey. He hurriedly asked: "How long have we been here?"
"About an hour." Qiao Ning said.
Chen Yang said: "Let's go back to the Tianshan Shrine?" Qiao Ning said: "You go first, I still need to cultivate for a while."
Chen Yang was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that Qiao Ning's injuries were serious. He said: "Were you injured while fighting with the old demon from Tianshan?"
Qiao Ning glanced at Chen Yang, then shut up.
Chen Yang was stunned for a moment. He was also a smart man and he immediately woke up. Qiao Ning was not injured in the decisive battle with the Tianshan old demon, but she lost a lot of vitality while treating herself.
Qiao Ning has a proud personality, so she won't say much to herself.
"Why don't you leave?" Qiao Ning asked Chen Yang.
Chen Yang laughed dryly and said, "I'll wait for you here."
Qiao Ning said, "It's up to you." Then she closed her eyes and concentrated, no longer paying attention to Chen Yang.
Chen Yang waited for Qiao Ning for three hours. Within three hours, Chen Yang gave Batu a good meal. Batu played for a while and then took the initiative to return to Jie Xumi. Three hours later, Qiao Ning's skills were fully restored.
"Let's go!" Qiao Ning stood up.
Chen Yang also stood up. Qiao Ning used the Dapeng Golden Wings Spirit. Chen Yang and Qiao Ning stood up, and the Dapeng's golden-winged soul took off and flew towards the Tianshan Temple.
Soon, Tianshan Shrine arrived.
The back garden of the Mountain Shrine that day was already in a mess, all traces of the previous battles.
Qiao Ning let Dapeng's Golden Winged Soul fall in the back garden. As soon as the two of them got out, two Blood Sword Guards came out to greet them.
The two Blood Sword Guards came forward, and they were very polite to Chen Yang and Qiao Ning.
"Miss Qiao, Mr. Chen, you are finally back. We have been waiting for you for a long time under the orders of the Governor."
Chen Yang smiled and said, "Where is the Governor now?"
The Blood Knife Guard said: "You two, please follow me."
Chen Yang said: "Okay!"
Then, Chen Yang and Qiao Ning followed the Blood Sword Guards to the main hall of the shrine.
This Tianshan Shrine has a magnificent building with nine palaces and eighteen palaces. When it was most powerful, it could be said that the streets were deserted. Every year, believers kneel down from the mountain and go up the mountain to worship.
But now the Tianshan Shrine has become a place for government affairs, and there is no such thing as worship by believers.
In the main hall, there are several gilt beams and pillars carved with dragons and wind.
Lin Xianyang sat upright, with a maid holding a teapot serving beside him.
Nie Meiniang was sitting underneath. In the room, many rosin lamps were lit, which made it brightly lit. When Chen Yang and Qiao Ning came in, Lin Xianyang immediately stood up to greet them.
"Miss Qiao, Mr. Chen, you are finally back. We have been waiting for you for a long time. Please sit down quickly!" Lin Xianyang said.
"You're welcome, sir." Chen Yang returned the gesture with fists raised.
Qiao Ning didn't have to be polite, she just sat down.
Lin Xianyang was not surprised either. He and Chen Yang sat down one after another. Afterwards, the maid served tea.
When Nie Meiniang appeared from Chen Yang, her hanging heart finally subsided. Nie Meiniang breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Chen Yang was fine.
Nie Meiniang's mouth moved slightly, but she glanced at Qiao Ning again, and in the end, she said nothing.
Chen Yang did not pay attention to Nie Meiniang's mental activities.
After Chen Yang sat down, he asked: "Sir, will the old mountain demon be killed that day?"
Lin Xianyang couldn't help but feel angry after hearing this. He said: "I chased him out, but the old demon had many tricks and tricks, and he escaped in the end." After saying this, he stood up and said, "Thanks to Master Chen today." Take action with Miss Qiao, otherwise Lin and his eight Blood Sword Guards will all die at the hands of this Tianshan old demon today. Moreover, the Tianshan old demon will kill many people by then. The two of you are me, Lin. He is the benefactor of the Blood Sword Guards and the entire Beihai City."
Qiao Ning said: "I took action all because of Chen Yang. Otherwise, the life and death of your Beihai City has nothing to do with me. If you want to thank me, just thank Chen Yang."
Qiao Ning's words sounded unkind, but in fact she wanted to put all the credit on Chen Yang. Lin Xianyang was slightly startled, and then he said to Chen Yang, "Thank you, Mr. Chen."
Chen Yang naturally accepted Qiao Ning's favor. He clasped his fists and said, "Your Excellency, you are too polite." He then changed the topic and said, "I'm afraid that the old demon of Tianshan Mountain will not let it go. Master Lin, you still have to be early." Make plans!"
Lin Xianyang said: "The old Tianshan demon will probably have to recover from his injuries for a while, and I have already reported this matter to the Holy One. The Holy One will give his approval tomorrow morning."
Chen Yang suddenly realized.
At this time, Chen Yang would naturally not ask for favors from Lin Xianyang. Or to ask Lin Xianyang to recommend him to the Holy Father, that would be too underhanded. Chen Yang believed that as long as Lin Xianyang knew how to behave, he would definitely mention himself when he presented the memorial.
"It's getting late." Lin Xianyang said, "How about I arrange for some of you to rest first, and after the matter of the Tianshan old demon is solved, I will hold a banquet to thank you for your help."
Chen Yang nodded and said, "Then thank you, sir." He immediately remembered something again and said, "No, no, no, I made an appointment with Brother Lei to meet at Qionglou." He immediately stood up and said: "Mr. Lin, I have something to do and I have to go out. I'll take my leave."
Lin Xianyang nodded and said, "Mr. Chen, if you have anything to do, go and do it first."
Chen Yang said: "Okay, farewell!"
Chen Yangxun left Tianshan Shrine and rushed towards Qionglou.
When he arrived at Qionglou, it was already closed. Because it was late at night, and Qionglou was not a place for fireworks, so how could it still be open at night?
Lei Bao has been waiting at the gate of Qiong Tower. Chen Yang saw Lei Bao as soon as he arrived.
"Brother Lei, I'm really sorry. I was delayed today and kept you waiting for a long time." Chen Yang apologized profusely as soon as he came up. Lei Bao didn't mind at all. He laughed and said: "Brother Chen, you are a god. You can look up to me, Old Lei. That is my luck, so why not wait a moment?"
Chen Yang said: "Brother Lei, no matter what, I must come to treat you tonight. Otherwise, I will be too worried about it."
"That's not okay. I promised to treat you. If I let you treat me, how would it be appropriate? Could it be that I waited for you most of the night just to ask you to treat me to a drink?" Lei Bao said with a serious face.
When Chen Yang saw Lei Bao insisting, he said, "Okay then."
Lei Bao laughed heartily, and then he whispered: "Brother Chen, at this time, if you want to drink, you can only drink flower wine."
Chen Yang laughed and said: "Flower wine is just Huajiao, I won't refuse anyone who comes."
"Aren't you afraid that Miss Qiao will cause trouble for you?" Lei Bao said.
Chen Yang said: "Brother Lei, don't say these nonsense! Miss Qiao and I are innocent. If you let her hear what you said, she will definitely not be able to forgive you."
Lei Bao said: "Brother Chen, I think it will work for Miss Qiao! You must seize the opportunity."
Chen Yang laughed.
Next, Lei Bao took Chen Yang to Chunfeng Tower. When the two of them were drinking, Lei Bao also found four girls to accompany him. Lei Bao hugged them on the left and on the right, raising and lowering his hands, so happy. Chen Yang was much more restrained, and he was just acting out of the situation.
At dawn, Lei Bao drank too much, took the two girls to bed and started to have fun. Chen Yang couldn't do such ridiculous things. The two girls wanted to go to bed with Chen Yang. Chen Yang rewarded them with ten taels of gold and then said, "Go to sleep by yourselves."
Finally, Chen Yang found a chair and took a nap.
He originally planned to sleep for a while, but he was too tired, so he slept until midnight. When he woke up, he heard Lao Lei and the two girls starting to mess around again.
Chen Yang couldn't help but chuckle to himself.
This old Lei probably suffered from suffocation while sailing in the sea.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Yang said goodbye to Lao Lei and returned to Tianshan Shrine.
That day in the mountain palace, Qiao Ning and Nie Meiniang were waiting for Chen Yang. When the two women met Chen Yang, Qiao Ning's expression was as cold as ever. Nie Meiniang took a deep breath, and then said with great disdain: "Did you go to the Flower House last night?"
There's no way to deny this. Chen Yang coughed dryly and said, "I'm going, but I didn't do it. It was Lao Lei who did it!"
"Who believes you!" Nie Meiniang said.
"Damn!" Chen Yang said, "Do you have such bad taste?"
Qiao Ning said: "Go back to the Imperial City as soon as possible. After I arrive in the Imperial City, I will help you refine the little dragon and then I will leave."
Chen Yang was stunned for a moment. He then said: "Where is Mr. Lin?"
Nie Meiniang said: "I am directing people to repair the back garden in the backyard."
Chen Yang said: "I'm going to resign."
Nie Meiniang said: "I will go with you."
Qiao Ning naturally won't go. Chen Yang and Nie Meiniang came to the back garden. When Lin Xianyang saw them, he immediately smiled and said, "Mr. Chen, you are back. You must be hungry. I will let my servants prepare food."
Chen Yang smiled and said, "Sir, I'm here to say goodbye to you. We are about to return to the imperial city."
Lin Xianyang said: "Leaving so soon?"
Chen Yang said: "Anyway, we have nothing to do now. We still have important things to do, so we won't delay."
Lin Xianyang said: "Well, wait until I return to the imperial city next time, and I will give you a drink."
"Definitely!" Chen Yang said.
Lin Xianyang then took out an envelope and said, "Mr. Chen, this is a letter that I want to present to the Emperor. Since you want to return to the imperial city, please bring it to me."
Chen Yang was stunned for a moment, and then said with some embarrassment: "But I can't see the Holy One either!"
Lin Xianyang smiled and said: "You take my warrant and go to Yufeng Garden first. When you get there, just hand over the warrant and the envelope."
"Okay!" Chen Yang accepted the envelope.
