Chapter 33 Zhao 7 Sister Goes to Chang'an to Deliver a Letter
"Mr. Wang, it's getting late. My seventh sister and I will head back to Shennong Temple first. I'll be returning to Penglai after the tenth of the month, and I won't be able to come back until the first month of the lunar calendar next time."
You're a good friend of Old Chen, much closer than Lu Xiu and Huang Fengzhi. We can keep in touch more often in the future.
"Wang has noted it down."
After the conversation, Wang Ji also had a very good impression of Chen Yue.
The couple personally escorted Chen Yue and Qi Mei a long way.
"Husband, what did you two talk about just now? Why did your attitudes change so drastically?"
Yao clearly remembered that Wang Ji hadn't shown much interest in Chen Yue while they were fishing, but in a short while, he was like a completely different person, showing great respect.
"Madam, this Shennong envoy is completely different from Elder Chen. He truly deserves to be called the old Shennong's grandson."
Wang Ji did not offer any further explanation, but the image of his nephew Wang Fuzhi resurfaced in his mind, more than two years ago.
"Let's go, pack up, and go home."
"Going home? Husband, are we going to Fen'er's place? I'll go right now."
Yao was a traditional woman who only wanted her family to live together in harmony and missed her children and grandchildren very much.
"What are you going to Shuzhou for? To go back to your hometown for the Chinese New Year."
Wang Ji's ancestral home is in Longmen, which is under the jurisdiction of Jiangzhou. That is the root of their family. Now only the lineage of his eldest brother Wang Tong remains there. He and his younger brother Wang Ning left long ago.
As Shennong's envoy, Chen Yue couldn't have named his nephew's unborn third son without a reason; there must be some explanation.
He even had a strong intuition that this third son named Wang Bo would definitely achieve extraordinary things in the future. He needed to go back and discuss it with his elder brother's family. There was still less than a month until the New Year, and the family could get together.
"it is good."
In short, as long as they can leave Zhongnan Mountain, that's fine. Yao is already thinking about writing a letter immediately to her son's family to return to Longmen County, as well as her third brother's family in Chang'an, so that they can have a lively gathering.
"Seventh Sister, what did Madam say when she took you to the side room?"
On the way back, Chen Yue casually asked a question.
"Huh? No, no..."
Zhao Qimei, who was lost in thought, blushed instantly when Chen Yue suddenly asked her a question, and quickly waved her hand.
"I was just asking, why are you so nervous?"
Chen Yue was somewhat puzzled, but he didn't want to pry too much into women's affairs.
"Alright, it's getting late, you should go home."
Where they are standing now, to the east is the Shennong Temple, and to the southwest is Zhao Family Village. In winter, the days are short and the nights are long, and it is estimated that it will be completely dark in about an hour.
There was still a lot of food left over from lunch. Seventh Sister was very thoughtful and kept it warm in the pot before leaving, so Chen Yue could take it out to eat anytime.
"I wonder how the case of the Ghost Child is going. The Time Gate hasn't indicated that the mission is complete yet, so it seems the murderer hasn't been caught."
After finishing his meal, Chen Yue continued reading the erotic novel, but his mind wasn't on it.
Simply complete this task to obtain that mysterious universal card, although the old man didn't specify what it was used for.
But his ability to use those magical methods to enter people's dreams, as well as other abilities, all come from this. Chen Yue was very curious about what he would get with his first universal card.
Night quietly fell, and Chen Yue didn't know when he fell asleep. When he woke up, the book was still beside his pillow.
"Young master."
Seventh Sister arrived early as usual, cleaned the house, heated up breakfast, and brought hot water.
"Did you remember the words I taught you yesterday?"
Chen Yue took the towel, wiped himself quickly, and casually asked a question.
"Yes, Seventh Sister has remembered everything. Thank you, young master."
Now, in the entire Zhao Family Village, not only her cowardly father and wicked stepmother, but even Zhao Xiong has to treat her with utmost respect and dare not offend her in the slightest.
Moreover, they all knew that Chen Yue was teaching Zhao Qimei to read and write, and they were extremely envious of him.
"No need to thank me. By the way, today is the sixth day of the lunar new year, right?"
"Yes, young master, the Ascension Ceremony in Chang'an City begins today. Would you like to attend?"
The girl had really guessed what he was thinking. Chen Yue really wanted to join in the fun, but after thinking about it carefully, he decided against it. Better safe than sorry.
If we happen to run into trouble, even if we eventually emerge unscathed, it might still take up valuable time.
Only the Shennong Temple is absolutely safe.
"I won't go, but you can."
As Chen Yue spoke, he seemed to remember something and immediately wrote a letter.
"After you go to Chang'an, go to the government office in Wannian County, then find Lord Fan Tao and tell him that I sent you. Then give him this letter, and also..."
Chen Yue originally wanted to ask her to help him inquire about his family's house and the situation of Wanbaolou, but after thinking about it, he decided against it.
Since the old man didn't use his identity as Shennong Envoy back then, it's best not to reveal it yourself. It won't be too late to go to Chang'an in person once you have the ability to protect yourself.
"Okay, I'll go right now."
Seventh Sister, who had just received Chen Yue's letter, was about to leave when she suddenly remembered something and turned around to ask.
"Young master, what about your lunch?"
"It's alright, you can bring it back after you finish your business."
Watching Zhao Qimei leave the Shennong Temple, Chen Yue continued to sit at his desk and read.
The Immortal Cultivation Hall in Chang'an is exceptionally lively today.
The annual Ascension Ceremony will officially begin at noon or early afternoon on the large platform in front of the Jade Bright Pavilion.
Every year, many people from Chang'an come to watch the spectacle, but this year there are especially many people.
The matter of the Blood Child caused a great uproar in the East City. Master Yu Ming publicly declared that he would personally capture the Blood Child. As the most famous mage in the Immortal Cultivation Hall, he was deeply concerned about the matter.
Many people believed he had the ability to do it, and at the same time, everyone was very curious about what exactly the Blood Child was.
Therefore, before noon had passed, many people who had finished lunch gathered at the Immortal Cultivation Hall. The altar had been set up on the large platform in front of the Jade Bright Pavilion, and the number of people gathered around it had reached several hundred.
Among them were Fan Tao and Liu Boyan, who were in a private room on the second floor of a nearby tavern. They opened the window and could see what was happening in front of them.
"Brother Fan, this Ascension Ceremony is quite lively! Has Magistrate Ma still not found her? Could it be that the mute girl has truly left Chang'an?"
Liu Boyan looked at his friend, whose brows were furrowed, and said softly.
Fan Tao hasn't rested since yesterday. With the Ascension Conference just around the corner, things will get very complicated if he can't find the mute girl soon.
Fan Tao remained silent; he was equally worried about this situation.
"At this point, we have no choice but to gamble."
Just then, there was a knock on the door of the private room. The county magistrate of Wannian County entered, followed by a beautiful young girl.
"Sir, this young lady claims to be from Zhongnan Mountain. She says her master knows you and came to the government office saying he has a letter to deliver to you."
"Seventh Miss?"
Upon seeing who it was, Fan Tao immediately stood up, quite surprised.
Upon hearing this, the county magistrate looked at Zhao Qimei with great surprise. She was just a mere maid. As the magistrate of Wannian County and a member of the Fan family of Chang'an, how could he address her in such a way? Could it be that her master's background was extraordinary?
