Black Fairy, the master is a female ghost

A few days later, the new song played and sung by the great writer Lu Chenglong became popular throughout the city.

Ordinary people in the streets, men, women, young and old, as well as princes, princesses, concubines and noble ladies in the palace, were all singing it.

The whole city is filled with "Cang Hai's Laughter".

There was a heavy snowfall in Longzhou City, covering the yard with a blanket of white.

Lu Xunhuan put his hands in his sleeves, leaned against the window, and looked at the snow scene.

"They actually moved to another place without even saying hello. Where are we going to find them now?"

Before coming to Longzhou City, Lu Xunhuan found the branch president of the Nanjun City Immortal Friends Association and the branch leader of the Nanjun City Shenlong Pavilion.

I have inquired about the addresses of the Longzhou City branch of the Immortal Friends Association and the Longzhou City branch of the Shenlong Pavilion.

But when he brought Li Susu to the house, it turned out that it was not the case.

The relevant houses are inhabited by wealthy people in Longzhou City, but not the Immortal Friends Association and the Shenlong Pavilion.

Obviously, they had moved, but Lu Xunhuan didn't know where they moved to.

Just then, there was a knock on the gate.

A servant went to open the door.

Lu Xunhuan saw Yan Bei standing outside the door, and behind Yan Bei, there was a group of people following him.

He walked out of the room and went to meet Yan Bei and the others who had already entered. "I apologize for not welcoming you from afar, Your Highness."

Yan Bei stepped on the snow and asked, "Aren't you going to sweep the snow?"

Lu Xun Huan bowed and said, "It's very rare to see snow in Nanjun, so I'm reluctant to let it go. I'll keep it for a few more days."

Yan Bei smiled, turned around and said to a woman behind him, "Ningxue, this is the great writer you've always wanted to meet."

The woman took a step sideways and saluted Lu Xunhuan: "Yan Ningxue greets the great writer."

Lu Xunhuan responded, "You're welcome."

Yan Bei then said to Lu Xunhuan, "I brought you some things."

Lu Xunhuan said, "Please sit in the living room."

He brought Yan Bei and Yan Ningxue into the reception room and sat down at the host and guest seats.

The attendants who came with the deliveries brought the items in one by one, put them down, and then went out again.

The maid in the yard made hot tea and poured it for everyone.

Yan Bei waited for the maid to pour the tea and said, "Okay, you can go out now."

After the maid left, Yan Bei asked Lu Xun Huan, "Since I came back, I've been busy with many things, so I neglected the great writer. Are you not angry?"

Lu Xun Huan smiled slightly: "Your Highness has made very thoughtful arrangements. Life is comfortable and easy. How could he be angry?"

Yan Bei nodded and said, "You can stay here for the time being. If I need anything written or advice from you, I will send someone to find you."

"When you have nothing to do, you can write your masterpiece, write your songs, write about your experiences in Longzhou City, especially the bad things, you can record them all."

Lu Xunhuan saluted: "Yes, Your Highness."

Yan Bei turned his gaze towards Yan Ningxue and said to Lu Xunhuan, "Ningxue is the daughter of the Third Uncle. She has read your masterpieces and sung your songs. She admires you very much and came to me, insisting on meeting you."

"So, I've brought her here today to visit you. Let's get to know each other."

Lu Xun Huan bowed again: "Greetings, Princess."

Yan Ningxue seemed a little shy: "You're welcome, great writer."

Yan Bei added, "If you have any difficulties, you can also tell Ning Xue, and she will pass it on to this prince."

Lu Xun Huan nodded: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your thoughtful arrangements."

Yan Bei stood up, took a gift, opened the box, and took out a jade ruyi.

"You may not be interested in these things, but I don't know what to give you. This is just a token of my appreciation."

He put down the jade ruyi and opened a larger wooden box, revealing neatly packed silver.

He said, "Your position is to be this prince's advisor, with a monthly salary of one thousand taels of silver."

"If you see something in Longzhou City that you think is not good or needs to be changed, you can write to this prince at any time."

"As long as this prince thinks it makes sense, I will write a memorial and report it to my father."

Lu Xunhuan replied, "Okay."

Yan Bei sat with Lu Xun Huan for half an hour before he stood up and said goodbye. "I have a lot to do and may not come here often. Ningxue will represent me and come here often."

Lu Xunhuan nodded: "Okay."

After seeing Yan Bei off, Lu Xunhuan returned to the reception room.

Li Susu has come over and is opening the boxes one by one to check what gifts they contain.

She asked Lu Xunhuan, "What did Yan Bei say?"

Lu Xunhuan picked up a pure gold pendant, looked at it, and put it on Li Susu.

"He said that my role was to advise him, and that if I saw anything bad about Longzhou City, I could write to him."

Li Susu looked at the gold pendant and said, "That's something to write about."

Lu Xunhuan asked, "Do you want to go out for a walk?"

Li Susu picked up the 1,000 taels of silver and asked, "Do you want to continue looking for the president and the captain?"

Lu Xun Huan said, "Let's go out and take a look. Sitting at home and waiting is not a good idea."

After an incense stick of time, when they had packed up the gifts, the two went out and wandered aimlessly along the east city wall.

Li Susu said, "You don't have much to do anyway, why don't we go to Master's retreat."

Lu Xunhuan looked up at the sky and said, "It's already snowing. It's two thousand miles north, so it must have been covered in ice and snow long ago."

Li Susu nodded: "Yes, it has been covered with ice and snow for a long time."

Lu Xunhuan took a small ball of snow from the snow pile and squeezed it in his hand.

"Yan Bei just told me that he wants me to be his advisor, so I have to write something for him."

"If I leave now, he'll think I'm dissatisfied with the arrangement and ran away."

He stopped.

"Actually, whether or not we should contact the Immortal Friends Association and the Dragon Pavilion is not important. The royal family confiscated a large number of dragon bones from the people back then. I'd like to go and take a look at the warehouse."

"But there's no way to explain this matter openly. We don't even know where the dragon bones we confiscated back then are kept. Even if we knew, we'd need someone to lead us in."

He threw the snowball in his hand and continued walking forward.

"Things have to be done step by step. Let's go and see if there's anything worth writing about. Write it to Yan Bei so that we don't have to do nothing all day."

The two of them wandered around the city until dusk before returning to the Dongli courtyard.

After dinner, Lu Xunhuan picked up his pen.

No matter whether what you write is useful or not, you have to write it. This is the attitude.

On the morning of the second day, Yan Ningxue came to visit Lu Xunhuan alone.

The two chatted in the living room for a while and became familiar with each other. Yan Ningxue felt much more relaxed and at ease, no longer shy as she had been when they first met.

The two chatted for an hour, and then Lu Xunhuan took her to the study and played the piano for her.

At noon, Lu Xunhuan invited her to have lunch with him again.

At the dinner table, Yan Ningxue looked at Li Susu and asked, "Are you his sister?"

Li Susu said: "Our great writer is not only good at writing, but also at cultivating immortality."

"As for me, I am his uncle by seniority. When I have nothing to do on weekdays, I guide him in his cultivation."

Yan Ningxue blinked her bright eyes: "What about his master?"

Li Susu said: "He passed away."

She asked Yan Ningxue, "Princess, have you ever learned to cultivate immortality?"

Yan Ningxue shook her head: "No, I'm already nineteen years old, how can I still learn?"

Li Susu said, "Sure. If you want to learn, I'll teach you. You two will be senior and junior brothers and sisters in the future."

Yan Ningxue became excited: "Okay, you will be my master from now on."

After dinner, Yan Ningxue went to Li Susu’s room and really began to learn the way of cultivating immortals.

It was not until dusk, when it was time for her to return to the palace, that she came to say goodbye to Lu Xunhuan.

Lu Xun Huan handed her a scroll of bamboo slips and said, "Princess, please pass on some of my observations in Longzhou City to the Second Prince."

Yan Ningxue took the bamboo slips and said, "I'll give them to my second brother tonight and come back tomorrow."

She waved goodbye: "See you tomorrow, brother."
