"Humph! What do you, a warrior who only knows how to fight and kill, know?"

A civil official indignantly condemned Xiao Qingning, and said angrily when he heard the words of the military general.

"Humph! I know nothing. How can you, a civil servant who can't even count, know anything?"

The general fought back without showing any weakness!

Now their military salaries are all under the management of the Ministry of Finance and have nothing to do with these civil officials. So he is no longer afraid of these civil officials and speaks to them with confidence.

"you!"

The civil official's face turned pale and blue with anger, and he could only look at Lord Si angrily and yell:

"You should understand the math before going to the Ministry of Finance!"

The scolded Lord Si looked aggrieved. You just praised me for being courageous and a gentleman with the character of a scholar, and now you are scolding me again!

Elder Zhou looked at Zhou Nianchu who was following behind Xiao Qingning, thought for a moment and then called out:

"Chu'er."

Zhou Nianchu suddenly heard Grandpa Zhou calling her. She glanced at Xiao Qingning, who nodded to her and left. Zhou Nianchu had no choice but to turn around:

"grandfather."

"Chu'er, you haven't been home for dinner for a long time. Come home for dinner today."

"No, Grandfather, you know that the Ministry of Finance has just been established and there are still many things to do. I have to rush back to handle some official business."

Zhou Nianchu refused directly.

She had finally escaped from the Zhou family's cage, and she would never step into the Zhou family's door again unless it was necessary.

After Zhou Nianchu finished speaking, he turned and left.

Lord Zhou looked at Zhou Nianchu's departing back without saying anything. He felt very complicated and he himself didn't know whether he agreed with Zhou Nianchu entering the court or not.

Feng Junyi entered his secret realm right after the morning court session and saw Xie Yiyao lying on her back under a peach tree, holding the copy of Taiyuan Talismans and snoring loudly.

Newly drawn talismans were all over the floor, even covering her face with one.

Feng Junyi walked closer with some amusement, and found that there was saliva on her mouth. She must have dreamed about something delicious at the moment. Her little mouth kept chewing and she was still mumbling softly, "Delicious, delicious!"

What a little foodie! Feng Junyi shook his head helplessly. Seeing that she was sleeping soundly, Feng Junyi went to get a thin blanket to cover her, and then he went to practice his martial arts not far from Xie Yiyao.

Xie Yiyao hadn't slept for two days and was sleeping soundly. When she opened her eyes, she found Feng Junyi practicing not far from her.

She wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth and looked at Feng Junyi guiltily. Didn’t this guy see such an embarrassing scene of hers?

She shouldn't have been drooling when he came, right?

Xie Yiyao instinctively felt that her face might have been completely lost, and she sat under the peach tree with a resentful look on her face, staring at the incredibly handsome Feng Junyi in a daze.

She couldn't help but secretly click her tongue in her heart, why would a man be so handsome? In the world of immortal cultivation, strength is respected, not looks!

Just as Xie Yiyao was daydreaming, her stomach suddenly growled. Feng Junyi had already finished his training at this time.

Apparently, he also heard Xie Yiyao's cooing voice, and said gently:

"What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you?"

Xie Yiyao's heart trembled suddenly. This man was teasing her again! But she couldn't care less because she was really hungry.

"I want to eat beggar's chicken! I want two!"

Xie Yiyao, drooling, pointed two fingers at Feng Junyi seriously, and looked at Feng Junyi with anticipation in her big black eyes.

The beggar's chicken made by Feng Junyi is simply the best of the best. Just thinking about it makes me drool!

"it is good!"

After Feng Junyi finished speaking, he stood up and walked towards the forest in the secret realm, and soon caught two pheasants.

Xie Yiyao looked at Feng Junyi. His hands were slender and clean with distinct joints, just like translucent white jade. At this moment, he was handling the two pheasants skillfully. It was obvious that he was someone who did this kind of work frequently, and there was no sense of incongruity at all.

The two chickens were quickly taken care of by Feng Junyi. While waiting, Xie Yiyao came over with a curious look on her face.

"Feng Junyi, I didn't expect your cooking skills to be so good! Tell me if you often roasted chickens for people before."

Feng Junyi showed no expression:

"Why should I bake for others? Can't I bake for myself?"

"You are not from an immortal family. Do you need to do it yourself just to eat a chicken?"

Xie Yiyao had an expression that said, "I studied today, don't lie to me."

"I don't have a father, my mother's cultivation is not high, and I have an uncle and a cousin who are always trying to seize our family property. How well do you think I will be treated?"

Feng Junyi was lying on the grass, staring at the blue sky and white clouds in a daze. He had been in the mortal world for so long and didn't know what was happening to his mother and master.

Cloud Rising Continent

"Madam, the Second Master and his men are really going too far. Now they don't even give us charcoal!"

A maid in a plain dress said with tears in her eyes as she looked at the beautiful middle-aged woman lying on the bed.

The beautiful woman's face was pale and she looked like she was seriously injured.

"Use this to exchange for some spirit stones, and then buy some charcoal."

The beautiful middle-aged woman was Feng Junyi’s mother Xie Yuanzhi from Yunqi Continent. She took out a healing pill and handed it to Na Luoshu.

Luo Shu's tears grew brighter when he saw this: "Madam, you injured your tendons and veins during your last retreat. This healing pill is your life-saving medicine, you can't sell it!"

"I still have a few here. You can buy them first for emergency use. Otherwise, we may not be able to survive this winter."

Xie Yuanzhi knew Luo Shu’s worries, but the situation was stronger than the person.

Feng Xun was getting more and more aggressive. He was afraid of being punished by heaven and didn't dare to kill himself with his own hands, so he came up with such a sinister trick to torture himself, hoping that he would die.

But she would never accept the fact that she hadn't seen her son return.

"Madam, these are the spiritual herbs that the Xie family collected with great difficulty and carefully refined for you. We only got 10 in total. Now there are only 3 left. We can't sell them! Otherwise, I will go back to the Xie family to find the master, he..."

Luo Shu really didn't want to exchange the healing pills for spirit stones, so he tried to persuade him.

"My mother's family is not having a good time right now. The Xie family hasn't produced any alchemists with good talent in the past few hundred years. We should not cause any more trouble for our father."

After Xie Yuanzhi finished speaking, she waved her hand and let Luo Shu go out.

Yi'er almost died when he failed to survive the tribulation. Fortunately, Yi'er's master had an opportunity in his early years and asked Master Taixuan to give him a chance of survival.

But he must reincarnate in the mortal world and gain great merit before he can return to Yunqi Continent.

She was worried that the lack of spiritual roots of mortals would affect Yier's spiritual roots. In order to ensure that Yier's spiritual roots were safe, she asked Taixuan Zhenren to choose a person whose life span had ended for her.

Xiao Wan Ning had not much time left because she had accompanied Emperor Wende in his battles for many years and had blocked a sword for him.

So after Xiao Qingning died, she buried her in a Feng Shui treasure land, transformed into her appearance, and gave birth to Yier again. The price she paid was that her cultivation was dissipated and her spiritual roots were destroyed.

Although she had no memory of her time in the immortal world, fortunately nothing went wrong and she gave birth to Feng Junyi smoothly.

What made her regretful was that she did not recover her memory until she was dying, but it was too late to find Yi'er and she had to return to Yunqi Continent.

Luo Shu thought that she was too impatient in her retreat and injured her tendons and veins. In fact, her trip to the mortal world had caused too much damage to her immortal body, and she had reached the end of her life.

Xie Yuanzhi suddenly coughed a few times, and a fishy sweetness surged in her mouth. She couldn't help but reach out to catch the blood. Looking at the blood on her palm, Xie Yuanzhi couldn't help but mutter to herself:

"I hope my son can return safely."

She didn't care whether she would die or not, she just wanted her child to be safe and sound.
