Dafeng's Night Squad

Chapter 92

92 Young master Xu’s opening lecture (1)

Xu Qi ‘an went back to the courtyard to change out of his official uniform and take a shower. He had just put on his regular clothes when he saw the gatekeeper old Zhang push the door open and enter.

eldest son, there’s a guest here. The old master is calling you over. Old Zhang, who had a goatee, shouted.

“I know. Close the door and come in.” Xu Qi ‘an responded.

Old Zhang was stunned at first, and then he showed a guarded expression.

Didn’t you want to go to the main residence? she didn’t leave, closed the door, and even let me in.

What do you want to do?

Old Zhang ignored him and left the small courtyard without a word.

Old Zhang still remembered the last time when the servant was called into the bathroom and fainted for no reason.

Xu Qi ‘an walked out of the house and saw that old Zhang was already gone.

He had wanted to flip old Zhang over the wall so that he wouldn’t have to make a detour back.

He leaped over the high wall and walked toward the front hall. Second uncle had ordered someone to call him, which meant that the guest who came to the manor was most likely related to him.

When he arrived at the front hall, a yellow-dressed woman appeared in his line of sight. It was Yan Caiwei, whom he had not seen in a long time.

She was wearing a light yellow dress and had fluffy hair.

She had a deerskin bag on her waist and an octagonal feng shui compass hanging from it. Her almond-shaped eyes were clear and bright.

“Why Did You Come to My House?” Xu Qi ‘an asked in surprise.

Yan Caiwei was sitting at the head of the table with her second uncle by her side. She was eating a large bag of top-grade pastries from the guiyue restaurant. She slowly took a sip of tea and swallowed her food before saying,

“If you don’t go to the Directorate of Celestials, it will be senior brother song next.”

Xu Qi ‘an suddenly realized that he had not fulfilled his promise.

Zhou Li’s matter had been resolved, but the periodic table of elements had not been sent to the Directorate of Celestials yet.

The main thing was that he had initially paid attention to whether Assistant Minister Zhou had fallen from power, but was later called to the Yamen by the night watchman to be publicly executed.

After that, he became a glorious Gong and began a life of social animals where black and white were reversed.

He had forgotten about the Directorate of Celestials. Xu Qi ‘an swore to the heavens that he had not gotten used to it.

“Another day, I’ll go another day.” Xu Qi ‘an said.

“Don’t tell me you didn’t prepare anything.” Yan Caiwei questioned.

“I’ve definitely prepared it.”

A clear glint flashed across Yan Caiwei’s big eyes.”You’re lying.”

“....”

“Senior brother song said that since you’ve owed him for so long, you have to pay him back with interest. The alchemy knowledge you’ve written in the blue leather book is a little profound, and the alchemists of the Directorate of Celestials can’t grasp it for a while.” Yan Caiwei ate a piece of pastry,

it’s the end of the year. Senior brother song hopes that you can make a trip to the Directorate of Celestials and give a lecture to sixth-grade alchemists and warlocks below the sixth grade.

“Alright then!” Xu Qi ‘an nodded. It was only right to pay back what one owed.”But I need an hour to prepare.”

“I’ll supervise you.” Li Caiwei beamed.

After saying that, she was in a good mood. She turned to Xu lingying, who was standing at the side with her big eyes shining with desire, and said,”Little sister, do you want to eat big sister’s pastries?”

Xu Lingyin pecked her head.

“Then I’ll give you a little.” Li Caiwei jumped up and down, her skirt flying in the wind as she followed Xu Qi ‘an.

This child had been coveting her desserts. He had the ambition of a Wolf. At first, she did not want to let him eat, but Xu Qi ‘an agreed so readily that she was in a good mood. Anyway, she was just a small child and could not eat much.

The two of them arrived at Xu Qi ‘an’s small courtyard. Yan Caiwei held the door, crossed one leg, and peeked into the kitchen.

“That day, you said that you would make me delicious food.”

“.... Maybe next time.” Xu Qian said,”you still remember?”

Yan Caiwei was not happy and puffed up her cheeks. Her originally sweet and cute oval face was like a dumpling, very cute.

It didn’t matter if he was the supervisor’s disciple or not ... ‘I can do it with this girl ...’ Xu Qi ‘an was a little stunned.

Among the beauties he had seen, each of them had their own characteristics. There was a plump and beautiful aunt, an elegant and refined girl, a courtesan who looked like a well-bred young lady on the outside but was actually charming and amorous on the inside, and Yan Caiwei was the cutest and sweetest girl.

“I’ll cook you some noodles after I make a low-quality chicken essence.” Xu Qi ‘an said.

An hour later, Xu Qi ‘an finished writing the manuscript and returned to the front hall of the main residence with the big-eyed beauty.

Xu lingying was sitting on the chair that Yan Caiwei had just sat on. Her two short legs hung listlessly in the air, and her little belly was round.

“.....”Yan Caiwei’s mouth slowly opened wide as she stared at the empty table.

Where are my pastries? Where’s the pastry I bought with two taels of silver?

That’s a big bag of pastries!

Yan Caiwei’s eyes were glistening with tears.

Thank you, sister. The pastries are delicious. Xu lingying hiccuped and thanked him politely.

The big-eyed beauty was left speechless. She glared at her small belly and left with Xu Qi ‘an with a wronged expression.

The horse’s hooves clattered. Xu Qi ‘an turned his head to look at li Caiwei, who was bouncing on the horse’s back, her pink cheeks puffed up.

“Aren’t you embarrassed? my sister is so angry because she just ate some of your pastries.” Xu Qi ‘an laughed.

“I’m saving it for your class,” said Yan Caiwei as she twisted her waist.

...

Xu Qi ‘an thought for a moment. it’s just pastries. I’ll buy them for you. How much is it? ”

“Two taels of silver.” Yan Caiwei smiled.

don’t keep senior brother song waiting. Go, go ...

Horse, hurry up and run!

Yan Caiwei rolled her eyes and followed him with a smile.

....

Imperial astronomer.

As soon as Xu Qi ‘an stepped into the stargazing tower, he was warmly welcomed by the people in white. He went up to the seventh floor in one breath and saw the gold cultivators, led by Song Qing.

“You’re finally here. If you didn’t come, I would have gone to your residence personally.” Song Qing stared at the two dark circles under his eyes and looked like he had overindulged himself.

He was very dissatisfied with Xu Qi ‘an’s delay.

She had violated the principle of being “upright and honest” and done bad things for him. In the end, she waited left and right, but he didn’t come.

...

“There’s been a lot of things going on recently.” Xu Qi ‘an took out the manuscript in his arms. I’m here. Senior brother song, how’s your research on grafting going? ”

“We’ll have to wait until next spring for plant grafting. My main research direction is animals. Wait a minute ...” When Song Qing said this, he got excited and ran away in a hurry. A moment later, he came back with a draft.

this is my latest grafting concept. I heard that you’ve joined the night watchman. Help me find a prisoner.

Xu Qi ‘an saw that it was a Centaur, and his drawing skills were not bad.

He cupped his hands at Song Qing. we’ll talk about this later. I’m going to fulfill my promise now.

Xu Qi ‘an didn’t want to be killed by the supervisor.

senior brother Song Qing’s alchemy skills have obviously gone astray ... I have to use my deep knowledge of chemistry to straighten him up.”

The teaching location was in the hall on the seventh floor.

The white-robed warlocks moved the cases over and sat like students. From rank-9 to rank-6, there were a total of 46 people, not including white shirt who was currently out of town.

Xu Qi ‘an knew that they were actually craving for his knowledge of Chemical Theory. In terms of hands-on ability, every sixth-grade Alchemist could beat him.

“I have a feeling that my position in the Directorate of Celestials will rise again after this lecture. When I copy poems to please the great Confucians of Yun Lu Academy and hug father Wei’s thigh, will I be able to do as I please in the capital in the near future?”

Xu Qi ‘an’s heart suddenly burned with passion.

With the support of these three forces, as long as he didn’t do anything outrageous, he would be as stable as an old dog.

Erlang, I still love you and have already paved the way for you to become the first assistant.

But you were so stingy that you didn’t even give big brother a promise.

Xu Qi ‘an glanced at the white-robed sorcerers and asked,”what do you know about alchemy?” Before we start, let’s talk about alchemy.”

.....

Two luxurious horse carriages arrived and stopped outside the stargazing tower.

Yang Yan, who was acting as the coachman, jumped off the carriage and took out a small wooden stool to welcome Wei Yuan.

The feminine Nangong qianrou stepped out of the carriage.

From another carriage made of gold-threaded nanmu wood, a woman in a gorgeous long dress came down. She was tall and beautiful, with cold eyes and a pale face, as if she was an Independent Beauty.

As the breeze blew, the figure as he walked could only be imagined but not described.

“Princess!” Wei Yuan bowed respectfully.

The two adopted sons also bowed.

“Duke of Wei is also here to look for the supervisor?” The eldest Princess chuckled, her noble temperament difficult to hide.

“Yes.” Wei Yuan sighed, “a saltpeter mine was discovered in Taikang County. However, it was completely mined. It’s suspected to be the work of the thousand demon Kingdom’s remnants. I suspect that there are still demons hiding in the capital. I would like to ask you to open your heavenly eye and search for demons and monsters.”

As for the information about the earth sect and the fragment of the Book of the Earth, Wei Yuan had no intention of telling the eldest Princess.

The conspirator would not reveal his foreshadowing to the public in advance.

However, just the news of the thousand demon Kingdom’s remnants made the eldest Princess look serious, so there was a sense of Majesty in her cold beauty.

“Where’s the eldest Princess?” Wei Yuan asked.

“I’m here to look for Cai Wei.” The eldest Princess replied. She casually asked,”Do you think the death of count Ping Yuan is related to the demon race?”

Wei Yuan shook his head. ping Yuanbo has nothing to do with the demon race. He has no value.

The two entered the stargazing tower together and were shocked to find that there was no one inside, and no one had come to welcome them.

It was the same on the second and third floors.

“Imperial astronomer, what happened?” the eldest Princess asked with a frown.

Wei Yuan remained silent.

He continued to climb the stairs. On the fifth floor, he finally saw a busy white shirt.

When the white-robed man saw Wei Yuan and the eldest Princess, he walked over to greet them.

The eldest Princess asked,”ever since I entered the building, I’ve only seen you.” What happened to the Directorate of Celestials?”

When Bai Yi heard this, he said angrily,”I don’t want to see the eldest Princess either ...” Ah, no, I also want to go to the seventh floor, but I still have things to do. My senior brothers won’t let me go. I’m so angry, they’re simply not a son.”

young master Xu is giving a lecture on the seventh floor, ” he explained. he’s teaching alchemy knowledge. All the senior brothers are there.
