Evil Master and Disciple

Yun Shuang'er and the others all knew that Ye Feng came to the capital because he was asked to meet an old woman at the Observatory on New Year's Eve.

And it was for this matter that the ancestor Dugu came to the capital.

They all knew that Ye Feng must be hiding something important from them, but if Ye Feng didn't say it himself, Yun Shuang'er and Shen Tianqi would not take the initiative to ask.

Ye Feng said a few words to Yun Shuang'er and others, telling everyone that he would definitely come back here before dawn, and asked everyone not to leave the Saint Building at will before he came back.

Negotiation requires skills and bargaining chips.

Yun Shuang'er and others are people Ye Feng cares about. Ye Feng is worried that Li Ruoxi will play some tricks while he, the ancestor and others are negotiating with Li Ruoxi in the Observatory.

Yun Shuang'er and others are the people Ye Feng cares about. If they fall into Li Ruoxi's hands, it would be like holding Ye Feng's Achilles' heel.

Judging from the situation in Chongyifang last night, Li Ruoxi has deployed dozens of first-class masters in the capital.

These masters are a very powerful force. They can not only restrain top-level masters like Lao Zu and Zhang Qingyun to a certain extent, but also carry out kidnapping activities.

So Ye Feng asked Yun Shuang'er and others not to leave the Saint Building until the results of his negotiations with Li Ruoxi came out.

With the protection of the sage Louqiu Yuanzhu and other great Confucian scholars, even if Li Ruoxi's men wanted to attack Yun Shuang'er and others, it would be difficult for them to get past the Confucianists.

Yun Shuang'er and the others were also smart people who knew the big picture. Seeing Ye Feng's serious expression, they all nodded slowly.

Yun Shuang'er said, "Xiao Feng, you should be careful too."

Ye Feng grinned and said, "Don't worry, Shuang'er, I have the old ancestor, Senior Qingyun, Sister Shenxian and my adoptive father by my side, no one will hurt me.

The affairs of the capital will be completely concluded tonight. You wait for me to come back, and we will continue to wander around the world, accompanied by the mortal world, enjoying the mountains and rivers, and galloping on horseback..."

"Hey, little Ye, stop being so affectionate with your little beauty and showing off your love in public. Let's go!"

Zhang Qingyun, who had already walked out of the small wooden door, saw that Ye Feng was still not catching up, so he poked his skinny little head in from the small wooden door and shouted at Ye Feng.

"coming!"

Ye Feng responded.

The Hanlin Academy is not far from the Observatory. Suzaku Street runs across the north and south of the capital, dividing the capital and the imperial city into two equal areas, east and west.

The Hanlin Academy and the Sitianjian, where the Astronomical Observatory was located, were both located west of this central axis, one in the southwest corner of the Imperial City and the other in the northwest corner. The straight-line distance between the two was less than a thousand feet.

This distance is nothing for a monk.

Yun Shuang'er and others watched everyone leave.

Dean Qiu seemed to know what Ye Feng was worried about.

Since Ye Feng asked this group of young people from the Yunhai Sect to stay in the Saint Building temporarily, he must have taken the possible risks into consideration.

Even a peerless powerhouse like Dugu Chan showed up, but Dean Qiu couldn't be sure who the potential enemy might be.

So he contacted several other sub-saints in the palace through secret methods and asked them to come to the Hanlin Academy for tea.

If someone really wants to attack these young people from the Yunhai Sect, the six sub-saints are here to protect them.

Unless the other party has at least three powerful people at the Tianzhi realm.

However, considering that the Sage Building is very close to the Observatory, if any accident occurs in the Sage Building, the people in the Observatory will know the situation first.

So Dean Qiu was not worried.

The small wooden door of the Saint's Building was closed again, and only Dean Qiu was standing outside the Saint's Building.

The weather is very good tonight. The moon is not bright, and a crescent moon hangs in the eastern sky.

When the moon's light dims, the stars in the sky become more prominent.

Dean Qiu looked at the starry sky and suddenly remembered something.

In two hours, it will be the Jiazi year.

According to estimated records, today's Jiazi year is the beginning of a new era and the end of an old era.

And this era is the time when nine planets are in conjunction.

Qiu Yuanshou had no knowledge of astrology, but he had read many books and was considered the best scholar in the world.

According to ancient texts, when the Nine Yuans return to their ultimate state, all things will restart.

This year's Jiazi year is the beginning of the Jiuyuan return to the extreme, and it is also the end of the previous Jiuyuan return to the extreme.

Dean Qiu looked at the starry sky, pinching his beard and muttering, "Time flies by so fast. We've entered the cycle of the Nine Stars aligning and the Nine Elements returning to their ultimate state. If I'm lucky, I might be able to witness the grand spectacle of the Nine Stars aligning in my lifetime."

According to ancient records, the nine planets in conjunction will enter the preparation period after midnight tonight.

This cycle is uncertain, ranging from ten to three hundred years.

Maybe in ten years, the nine stars will be connected in a line, or maybe in three hundred years.

In the next ten to three hundred years, the grand event of nine stars aligning in a straight line may occur at any time.

If Dean Qiu is lucky, he might actually be able to see nine stars in a row.

If you miss this time, it will take another 3,600 years to wait until the next time.

The atmosphere inside the Saint Building was a little depressing.

An Nian finally couldn't help but speak up. "Shuang'er, Tianqi, do you know what happened in the Observatory tonight? Even our ancestors came and told us not to leave the Sage Building. Who is Ye Feng going to meet in the Observatory tonight? Is there any danger?"

Yun Shuang'er and Shen Tianqi shook their heads slowly at the same time.

They didn't know much about Ye Feng and couldn't answer An Nian's questions.

Shen Tianqi said, "We don't know for sure. We only know that Xiaofeng came to the capital this time because an old woman asked him to meet her at the Star Observation Tower in the capital on New Year's Eve."

An Nian rolled her eyes and said, "He said an old woman is an old woman? Maybe it's a young and beautiful girl? Chuchu said that you two cousins ​​are recently in love with Xiaofeng. It probably won't be long before the three of you will develop into a dual cultivation couple.

You two girls are so inexperienced and careless that you didn't even ask for clarification on such an important matter."

Shen Tianqi said, "If Xiaofeng doesn't want to say it, he won't tell us even if we ask him, and we believe in Xiaofeng..."

"Believe it or not, you have no idea what kind of character men are. Even an honest man like Hong Jiu sneaks around to find girls through secret doors. Don't you know Ye Feng's character? He's only been in the capital for a month, and how many times have you caught him drinking with prostitutes?

Men must be kept firmly in their hands and must not be allowed to hide or keep any secrets from themselves. Once they let their guard down, they will definitely cheat.

I've lived for over sixty years, and I've never seen a cat that doesn't steal fish!"

"Ahem... Senior Sister An, I'm right here. If you're talking about Old Ye, just talk about Old Ye. Don't involve me. Also... that time when I went to Yunyaju, I went with Old Ye to secretly investigate the Hehuan Sect's stronghold. We definitely didn't go there to drink and have fun, no!"

Hong Jiuyi spoke righteously, while secretly glancing at Qin Chuchu beside him.

His relationship with Qin Chuchu is now steadily improving, and it shouldn't be long before they can practice dual cultivation together. But he can't let An Nian ruin his plans at this critical moment.
