After becoming the prince of the demon clan, the beautiful master pampers him every day

When Chu Xinglan came out of the library, it was already completely dark, with stars twinkling in the night sky.

He did not stay outside for long and went back to his residence. Outside the palace, there was no trace of Song Ling and his companions.

Only the lantern at the door was still emitting warm light, and the entire bedroom looked quiet.

Chu Xinglan whispered, "Is the Master back?"

Perhaps because he had been reading for an entire afternoon, Chu Xinglan's mentality had returned to normal.

As I stepped into the palace, I saw that there was candlelight in my room. A silhouette was reflected on the window of the room, and a person was reading a book in his hand.

Chu Xinglan didn't think about it at all. He pushed open the door and shouted happily: "Master, I'm back."

Sang Yunqi put down the book in his hand, turned around, and waved at him with a smile.

"Let's eat first."

Chu Xinglan hadn't eaten all day. He hadn't felt like eating before, and he was so engrossed in reading in the library in the afternoon that he almost forgot about it. Only when he heard Sang Yunqi's words did he feel hungry.

I walked over curiously and looked at the table: "What's delicious?"

On the table were two plates of colorful stir-fried vegetables, a bowl of thick white fish soup, and a plate of red bean paste rolls.

There aren't many types or quantities of dishes, but each one is very exquisite. I guess he just wanted to add another meal to his meal.

Chu Xinglan was not polite and scooped a spoonful of fish soup into his mouth.

This fish soup must have been simmered for a long time. The fish meat has completely melted into the soup, which is rich, sweet and fresh, without any fishy smell.

Chu Xinglan simply put down the spoon, picked up the bowl and drank it in a few gulps.

Sang Yunqi used a handkerchief to wipe the soup that had overflowed from the corner of his mouth: "Eat slowly."

Chu Xinglan nodded, picked up another bean paste roll and stuffed it into his mouth in just three or two bites. Perhaps because it was a staple food, only a small amount of sugar was put in the bean paste. The slight sweetness mixed with the aroma of the bean paste instantly conquered his taste buds.

"Master, is this the same breakfast you bought for me last time?"

"Is this restaurant in Cangyun? Let's go there tomorrow to eat. It's so delicious!"

Sang Yunqi hesitated for a moment before speaking: "I didn't buy it."

"Didn't you buy it?"

"Well, if you want to eat it, I'll make it for you later when I have the chance."

Chu Xinglan didn't think much about it and nodded regretfully, thinking that this chef was just a private chef who wouldn't do anything easily.

"This morning..."

As soon as he opened his mouth to say this, Chu Xinglan choked and quickly picked up the water cup next to him and took two sips.

Sang Yunqi looked at him with some confusion, but continued, "What are those little guys doing so early in the morning?"

"They actually barged into your room. That's so rude. I punished them directly."

Chu Xinglan thought that his master had found out about those people’s imaginations after returning, so he heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this.

"Master, you are right to punish them. They are just too idle. I came back and gave them another beating. Master, don't bother with them."

Sang Yunqi felt relieved when he saw that he did not look dissatisfied.

"Then go to bed early. I'll take you out to meet someone tomorrow."

"Is he a friend of Master?"

"Well, he happens to be in the Imperial City as well."

Chu Xinglan was somewhat curious about the other party's identity, and he was indescribably happy. This was the first time that the master brought him to meet his friends. He should be considered his elder, right? Should he bring some gifts?

Sang Yunqi seemed to see through what he was thinking, "No need to bring anything, he should give you a gift."

The two talked for a while. After Chu Xinglan finished his meal, Sang Yunqi called the palace servants to come in and clean up the dishes, and then they went to bed to rest together.

At first, Chu Xinglan felt a little awkward, but after getting used to it, he quickly fell asleep in Sang Yunqi's arms.

……

Sky Mountain.

Chen Zheng was working day and night to deal with the trivial affairs of the sect. Reading documents for a long time made his eyes a little tired.

He pinched his brows, relaxed his eyes, and picked up a letter casually.

After reading just two lines, Chen Xiu, who was originally a little lazy, suddenly sat up straight, quickly read the contents of the letter, and his face unconsciously became serious.

After thinking for a while, he got up and went directly to Xu Zhuo's residence.

"Master, I have something important to report."

Chen Xiu stood outside the door and waited for a while before Xu Zhuo yawned and walked out of the room. "What's the important matter? Can't you handle it tomorrow?"

Chen Xiu pretended not to hear his complaint and handed the letter in his hand to Xu Zhuo.

Xu Zhuo glanced at it with sleepy eyes, and instantly became alert and serious after seeing the content.

"Have any of your disciples sent any relevant information?"

Chen Xiu shook his head, "No signs at all."

Xu Zhuo carefully read the contents of the letter again, and finally set his eyes on the signature, Shangguan Wei.

Chen Xiu thought for a moment and said, "Master has sent messages to all the heads of the sects and families in the cultivation world since last time in Cangyun Town, and we have received replies one after another. Only the Shangguan family has not received any news so far."

"We have always thought that it was because the Shangguan family was in the midst of a power transition and had no time to care about other things. Now it seems that the Shangguan family is in the same trouble as us."

"The head of the Shangguan family was besieged by black-robed men when he was undergoing the tribulation, resulting in him being seriously injured and failing to survive the tribulation. This was beyond our expectations."

Xu Zhuo stroked the signature and narrowed his eyes.

"Have you heard any news about Shangguan Chen, the son of the Shangguan family master?"

Chen Xiu didn't expect that his master would suddenly ask about Shangguan Chen. He thought about it for a while before speaking.

"There is only news that Shangguan Cheng, as the most likely heir to become the head of the family, has been very close to Shangguan Chen recently and has been taking good care of him. We can often see the two of them going out together."

"Shangguan Cheng also released news that he would bring Shangguan Chen to this cultivation exchange competition, but of course he would not participate in the competition."

"Shangguan Cheng has the highest support within the Shangguan family, and this is also partly the reason."

After saying this, Chen Xiu seemed to have thought of something, "Master, do you think that Shangguan Cheng betrayed the head of the Shangguan family?"

"Isn't this necessary? Shangguan Wei has already intended to give up the position of Patriarch. As long as he maintains a good relationship with Shangguan Chen, this position will be his sooner or later."

Xu Zhuo shook his head, "Those black-robed men probably still look down on Shangguan Cheng."

"Let's put this matter aside for now and let the spies inside continue to gather information to see if Shangguan Wei is really injured."

"Today, the ancestor sent me news that something might have happened to the demon clan. Tomorrow morning, I will personally go to the border to inspect it. I will just tell everyone that I am in seclusion."

Chen Xiu can handle the affairs of the entire Cangqiong Mountain with ease and has been recognized by Sang Yunqi. He must have a very good brain.

In just one short sentence, Chen Xiu heard a lot of hidden meanings. There might be something wrong with the elder stationed at the junction, and there might also be problems inside the sky.

He did not stop him, but looked at Xu Zhuo worriedly: "Master, please be careful in everything."

Xu Zhuo patted his shoulder with relief: "Go back and have a rest. If you have any questions while I'm away, just go find the old ancestor."
