Starting from a thatched cottage, the farmer embarked on the road to wealth through imperial examina

Ye Changyan didn't want too many people to know about his relationship with Yujing Palace, and he didn't want people to know about his special identity in Yujing Palace. Therefore, he declined the kindness of Qingxuzi and his senior brothers who wanted to see him off, and went to the guest house under the guidance of a little Taoist boy who was unaware of the situation.

When Liang Jingcheng, Sang Li and others saw Ye Changyan dressed in fur, they all stepped forward to ask about his situation.

"That day I was buried in the collapsed snow and thought I would not survive. Fortunately, we were rescued by Taoist Cangqin, who brought us to Yujing Palace."

Liang Jingcheng and Sang Li both nodded at Ye Changyan with lingering fear on their faces, and listened to Ye Changyan continue speaking.

"My injuries were quite serious at the time, so Taoist Cangqin sent me to Elder Qingyang. Thanks to Elder Qingyang's help, I finally woke up after lying in bed for three days."

When Sang Li heard Ye Changyan mention Elder Qingyang, he looked at Ye Changyan with excitement.

"Chang Yan, have you seen Elder Qing Yang?"

Ye Changyan nodded and listened to Sang Li's anxious questioning.

"Can you help me introduce someone? I came here to ask Elder Qingyang for medicine."

Seeing Sang Li's anxious face, Ye Changyan had no intention of teasing him, so he simply took out a medicine bottle and handed it to Sang Li.

"When Elder Qingyang heard me say that you were the son of City Lord Sangxiong, he guessed your purpose. He was busy refining pills, so he asked me to bring you the pills you requested."

Sang Li couldn't hide his excitement. He quickly stretched out his hands and carefully took the medicine bottle, fearing that it would fall to the ground and break.

"That's great. Chang Yan, have you thanked Elder Qing Yang for me?"

Seeing Ye Changyan nodded, Sang Li finally felt relieved and carefully put away the medicine bottle.

"I have already said goodbye to the Palace Master and several elders. Sir, you are already waiting anxiously at home. We can go down the mountain now."

Liang Jingcheng saw that Ye Changyan did not mention whether he had gained anything from this trip, and thought that it was not convenient to talk about it at this time, so he did not ask. He was about to get up and leave when he heard Ye Changyan continue.

"Oh, by the way, Taoist Cangqin has a disciple named Xingwang who grew up in Yujing Palace. Taoist Cangqin plans to let Xingwang go down the mountain with us to gain some experience. It was this young Taoist Xingwang who took care of me these past few days, so I agreed."

As soon as Ye Changyan finished speaking, he saw Cangqin and Xingwang coming to the guest house.

Cangqin was seen carrying a small bag, and there didn't seem to be any reluctance to leave Cangqin on his face. Instead, he asked Ye Changyan excitedly.

"Sir, I'm ready. When are we leaving?"

Cangqin saw Xingwang’s excited look, but turned towards Ye Changyan with some reluctance.

"Master Ye, I'll leave my disciple to you."

"Master Cangqin, you're welcome. We should thank you for saving our lives."

After a few brief greetings, Ye Changyan and the others, accompanied by Cangqin, arrived at the gate of Yujing Palace.

Ye Changyan looked back at the majestic and magnificent Yujing Palace behind him, then patted Xingwang on the shoulder and walked out of the gate of Yujing Palace.

As soon as Ye Changyan and his companions walked out of the Yujing Palace, the palace gate of the Yujing Palace slowly closed. Before they had walked far, they turned back and the palace gate of the Yujing Palace was gone.

"This Yujing Palace is indeed mysterious. We just walked a few steps and the palace gate disappeared. No wonder outsiders can hardly get in. Fortunately, by chance, we got the medicine, so it's worth the trip."

Sang Li turned around and found that the gate of Yujing Palace was gone, and he couldn't help but sigh.

Xing Wang, who was walking behind Ye Changyan, did not show any sadness of parting. Instead, he was excited. He found everything new and kept asking Ye Changyan about what he had seen and heard along the way.

If Ye Changyan didn't know Xingwang's situation, he would have probably become impatient long ago.

Liang Jingcheng was also a little confused and glanced at Ye Changyan from time to time. Being asked non-stop by this child, and all of them were about trivial matters, Ye Changyan did not seem to be angry at all. Instead, he had a good temper and explained to the child enthusiastically, which made Liang Jingcheng even more confused.

Fortunately, the speed of going down the mountain was much faster than going up the mountain. When Ye Changyan and his party arrived at the foot of Mangshan Mountain, they saw that the two carriages originally waiting at the foot of the mountain had become three.

Sang Li's steward You Xin was anxiously pacing around the carriage. When he saw Ye Changyan and his group coming down the mountain, he hurried over to meet them.

Ye Changyan and Liang Jingcheng then realized that Mr. Cai had been waiting in Shengjing for two days but had not seen anyone return. In a panic, they rushed here yesterday with You Xin.

Fortunately, they met Sang Li's entourage waiting at the foot of the mountain, and Cai Lao and You Xin felt relieved.

Upon learning that the teacher had been waiting here for a day and a night, Ye Changyan and Liang Jingcheng hurried towards the carriage. They saw Mr. Cai wrapped in a blanket, leaning on the carriage for a nap, and they felt relieved.

When Mr. Cai heard the hurried footsteps, he slowly opened his eyes and saw that his two disciples had come to the carriage. The heavy stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

Mr. Cai lifted the car curtain, looked at the sky outside, and then told everyone to get in the car.

"If you have anything to say, please get in the car. It's getting late, so we have to speed up. If we can't get into the city before the gates are locked, we will have to sleep outdoors tonight."

After hearing what Mr. Cai said, everyone hurriedly climbed onto the carriage.

After hurrying all the way, they finally entered the city half a quarter of an hour before the city gate was locked.

Sang Li and his servant went straight back to Gujing Lane. As soon as Ye Changyan and his party's carriage stopped at Shigu Lane, the butler Dai Xing came out to greet them.

When the cook Aunt Zhen saw that the master and the two young masters had returned, she hurried to the kitchen to prepare food.

Soon, a pot of steaming mutton dumplings was served on the table.

Xing Wang saw the bowl of dumplings on the table and started drooling. When Mr. Cai saw it, he laughed out loud and felt like he had an even better appetite.

"Look how hungry this kid is. Come on, come on, everyone come sit over and eat together."

Xing Wang heard Mr. Cai calling for dinner, but he looked up at Ye Changyan. Seeing Ye Changyan nodded at him, he sat down on the chair beside the table.

But what he did next made everyone present stunned.

I saw Xingwang pull the bowl of dumplings in front of him, then picked up the chopsticks beside him, picked up a dumpling and started eating.

Both Mr. Cai and Liang Jingcheng looked at Ye Changyan with some confusion, then turned to look at Xing Wang, only to see him putting half a bowl of dumplings into his mouth one after another. Both Mr. Cai and Liang Jingcheng couldn't help swallowing.
