Evil Master and Disciple

When Ye Feng arrived at Eunuch Lu's courtyard, the sky was already dotted with stars and a crescent moon hung in the night sky.

When Old Eunuch Lu saw Ye Feng with a bruised nose and swollen eyes, he seemed a little surprised.

"Young Master Ye, your face...were you attacked?"

"Well, today I encountered dozens of demon sect masters. After a bloody battle, I finally defeated the powerful enemy!"

Ye Feng rubbed his aching cheek and tried his best to maintain the demeanor of a master's son.

"Oh, such a big fight, why didn't our family notice it?"

"Since we're far apart, it's normal that you couldn't notice it. Let's not talk about that anymore. Senior Lu, is the Imperial Seal ready?"

Old Eunuch Lu looked at Ye Feng suspiciously, then nodded slowly.

He pointed to the seal wrapped in yellow cloth on the table.

Ye Feng hurried forward and reached out to open it.

Under the yellow cloth is a heavy jade seal.

Ye Feng looked at it carefully.

Whether it was the color, size, pattern, style, or the five coiled dragons on it, they were all exactly the same as what he had seen in the Jiaotai Hall.

Seeing the ink pad on the table, Ye Feng pressed the imperial seal on the ink pad, and then took out the clothes that were printed with the imperial seal that he treasured.

Then print it on white paper and compare it with the mark on the clothes.

I felt that there was a difference in the material of the white paper and the clothing, so I printed it on a blank area of ​​the clothing and compared them carefully under candlelight.

The seals are exactly the same size, and every stroke of the eight characters "Received the Mandate from Heaven, May You Live Long and Prosper" engraved on them are exactly the same.

"It's really so real."

Ye Feng grinned, but the injury on his cheek moved and he grimaced in pain again.

Sitting on a chair drinking tea, Eunuch Lu said slowly, "My family has been in Jiaotai Hall for decades, and we have also privately studied the imperial seal for many years. No one in the world understands the structure of the imperial seal better than us. The material used for this imperial seal is the same as the one in Jiaotai Hall. The only difference between the two is the luck inside.

Inside the real imperial seal, a number of magic arrays and barriers were set up by Confucian masters tens of thousands of years ago to collect and condense luck.

Although our family has also set up some magic arrays and barriers in this imperial seal, which can also absorb luck and righteousness, it is still far from the real imperial seal.

After all, the real imperial seal fell into the hands of many Confucian saints over tens of thousands of years, and each saint re-seal the magic circle inside the imperial seal.

"Master Ye, are you really not going to inject some luck into this Imperial Seal? If there is no luck involved, it won't be long before the Confucian masters will discover that this Imperial Seal is a fake."

"So what if they find out? Do they dare to tell anyone? If the emperor knew that the Confucian family had lost the imperial seal, he would definitely hold them accountable."

Ye Feng has now begun to learn to understand human nature.

He thought that if the Confucians lost the imperial seal, they would not need to forge one themselves and would hide it behind the plaque of Jiaotai Hall.

Besides, it’s not like I won’t return them. I’m just borrowing them for a while and will return them after fully charging the Shanhe Pen and the Zhongsheng Inkstone.

Eunuch Lu laughed dumbly and said, "That's right. In the past few hundred years, the royal family has been suppressing Confucianism. The Si Tianjian was established to contain Confucianism.

If the Confucians really lost the Imperial Seal, Your Majesty would certainly take the opportunity to attack them."

Ye Feng asked, "Senior Lu, when would it be convenient for you to visit your adopted son, Eunuch Luan?"

"Little Luanzi will be on leave tomorrow and will come to see us. We will then tell him about this."

"Ah? You haven't mentioned this to Eunuch Luan yet? Will he cooperate?"

"Even my family couldn't refuse the Chaos Divine Spring, so how could Xiao Luanzi refuse? He's still young, and he wants to become a man again even more than my family does."

"Haha, that's true... Wait, Senior Lu, your address seems to have changed. You used to call yourself the old slave, but now you call yourself our family?"

Old Eunuch Lu chuckled sharply and said, "Hahaha, after some time, when I become a man again, the name will change. Young Master Ye, which name do you think is more suitable for me, 'Old Man' or 'Old Man'?"

"You have such a high level of cultivation, but you are only about a hundred years old. Since I am a little old, you should call yourself this young master, this master... It's best to marry three or five more wives to make up for the shortcomings of these years."

"We think so too, hahaha!"

It can be seen that Eunuch Lu is very happy.

He gave Ye Feng the remaining jade and waste materials from carving the imperial seal.

Ye Feng felt like he was being taken advantage of.

Eunuch Lu only used one-fifth of the entire piece of jade to carve the imperial seal. He should not have bought two pieces at that time. Only the small piece that was cut should have been enough.

As a result, he spent a total of one million taels of silver.

Ye Feng put one of the largest pieces of jade into a black silk bracelet.

There are still a lot of small pieces left.

He said, "Senior Lu, I won't accept these."

"You want to give it to our family? Young Master Ye is really generous. We would be disrespectful to refuse it!"

"No, no, no, senior, you misunderstood. I didn't say I was giving it to you. I meant that if you have time, please help me carve some jade pendants, bracelets, and the like. It would be best if they were in pairs. I will keep them and give them to the little girl as a token of love!"

When Eunuch Lu heard this, his expression froze, and then he shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Said: "Young Master Ye, you really know how to do business."

"Haha, that's right. I've opened a Lingbao Pavilion at the foot of Yunhai Sect's mountain. After things in the capital are done, you can come find me at Yunhai Sect. I'll arrange a job for you. Help me carve various jade pendants... I'll take care of you in your old age!"

"Okay, Young Master Ye will be our adopted son."

"Godfather, please..."

Ye Feng likes this old eunuch Lu very much.

At first, Ye Feng thought that the old eunuch Lu was quite sinister, but after spending a few days with him, he found that this old eunuch was not a bad person, he just wanted to become a man again.

The most important thing is that although Eunuch Lu has not reached the limit of heaven, he is definitely a strong man at the peak of Huaxu realm.

Calling him godfather might help save his life in the future. Ye Feng felt that he would not lose money on this investment.

An old man and a young boy walked out of the courtyard while chatting and laughing.

They were going to the Imperial City's Hanlin Academy to find Qiu Changlin and others.

It was easy to pass through the imperial city gate with the golden token.

When we arrived at the Hanlin Academy, it was already the second watch.

The Hanlin Academy was as quiet and deserted as usual, but candles were still lit in many rooms.

"I've lived in the palace for decades, but this is my first time entering the Hanlin Academy. This place is truly filled with the fragrance of books."

Ye Feng stretched out his nose and sniffed, saying, "Is there a scent of books? Why can't I smell it? Godfather, your nose is sharper than a dog's!"
