Xiao Yuanbo was overjoyed: "Great! Great! Great!"

"Qingchen, quickly thank Grandma!"

Xiao Qingchen's face lit up with surprise: "Thank you, Grandma!"

Grandma Mei glanced at him, her face expressionless.

Eunuch Cao was bewildered and quickly stepped forward: "Um... Madam Mei, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

"The people chosen by the Holy Maiden of the Xuanqing Sect, how can they be changed so easily?"

Xiang Shuying remained kneeling on the ground, tears welling in her eyes, her expression utterly broken: "Does the old lady also look down on me...?"

Old Madam Mei said coldly, "I believe that Qingchen also has great fortune."

"What's the difference between being with him and being with Su Yun?"

"Or does the Holy Maiden think that Qingchen is not suitable?"

Xiao Yuanbo was immediately displeased when he saw the Holy Maiden's expression.

Su Yun clicked her tongue: "Goodness, Grandma is quite the troublemaker."

Xiang Shuying's lips twitched a few times, as if she had a thousand grievances weighing on her heart: "I just..."

She talked for a long time but couldn't come up with a reasonable excuse.

Eunuch Cao smiled wryly: "Madam, look at this mess... Xuanqing Sect is, after all, a major sect in the Five Regions, and the Holy Maiden has already come..."

"Let's give His Majesty some face too!"

Boom!

Grandma Mei tapped her cane: "If the Holy Maiden thinks Qingchen is not up to the task, I will bring him back."

Xiang Shuying was defeated. She took a deep breath and said, "The old lady is a prominent figure in the capital. Of course, we will listen to the old lady."

This capital city is a place where hidden talents abound!

The Xuanqing Sect possesses a secret technique; even before getting close, they could see three great energies above the capital.

Upon arrival, they discovered that Xiao Qingchen and Su Yun were equally matched, both blessed with good fortune and protected by fate.

Xiang Shuying couldn't see it very clearly, but she could still sense that Xiao Qingchen's luck was higher.

but……

With her keen senses, she deduced from the few scattered conversations that Su Yun held a higher status.

Moreover, this child has rosy lips and white teeth, and looks intelligent and clever. Anyone with normal aesthetic sense would like him.

Most importantly... Su Yun is only three years old!

Children this young are most easily influenced.

If someone with such great fortune could control it, wouldn't they be showered with opportunities in the future?

Unexpectedly, he didn't give me any face and rejected it outright.

Xiang Shuying didn't dwell on it; she was very good at playing it seamlessly.

There's no need to waste time being heartbroken if you haven't gotten your hands on someone better.

Without a moment's hesitation towards Su Yun, the next target was—Xiao Qingchen!

Xiang Shuying bit her lip lightly: "Young Master Qingchen, I told your father before that you are a person with great fortune."

"However... the sect has ordered me to find a suitable Daoist companion."

"I didn't choose you right away..."

"It's all my fault, please don't blame Xuanqing Sect."

Her pitiful appearance was truly heartbreaking.

Even an emperor like himself couldn't help but feel his heart pounding at this moment.

Xiao Qingchen blushed slightly and quickly tugged at her hem: "How could that be... Rules are rules, and there's nothing the young lady can do about it."

After my body grew, it actually developed!

Xiang Shuying revealed her brightest smile: "I knew Young Master Qingchen would understand me."

"Then... I'll have to trouble you and me for the foreseeable future..."

Her pretty face flushed slightly: "I'll search for the vital point alone."

Xiao Yuanbo's ears tingled with pleasure. He glared at Su Yun and cursed inwardly, "Idiot!"

"What a naughty child! He doesn't even know how to cherish the saintess!"

"This is such a blessing, Qingchen should accept it with pleasure!"

Su Yun applauded inwardly: "Amazing, truly amazing!"

"A single sentence reversed everything, turning even the Emperor into a sycophant."

"What exactly is a 'god-level green tea'?"

Perfect. The green tea bitch and the chosen one are mixed together, and she manages to absolve herself perfectly.

With the matter settled, Eunuch Cao left first.

Xiao Yuanbo wanted to go home, but was stopped by someone who vaguely directed him in another direction.

Xiang Shuying revealed her gentlest and most graceful smile, and took the initiative to say to Xiao Qingchen, "Let's not delay, let's go find the vital point."

Xiao Qingchen smiled slightly and patted his chest: "The Holy Maiden has ordered that I will go through fire and water without hesitation."

At this moment, Xi Yaoyue spoke up: "Yun'er, do you still remember Minister Li?"

Su Yun naturally remembered: "Grandpa Li from the Ministry of War."

Xi Yaoyue couldn't help but think to herself that Minister Li was several decades older than Su Changge.

Although they served in the same court, Su Yun helped him advance his generation in rank.

But she didn't intend to spoil the little banter, and said, "You and Qingchen, come with me. There are some things to discuss."

Xiao Qingchen's body stiffened: "What is it?"

Xi Yaoyue glanced at him indifferently and said, "Military secrets cannot be discussed outside the government office."

"I don't know either, I'll find out when I get there."

Xiao Qingchen had a very ominous premonition, but he couldn't even leave.

Xi Yaoyue said, "Then let's go."

Just then, a servant ran over and whispered, "Madam, there's something going on in the west wing..."

After listening for a while, Xi Yaoyue's expression changed slightly: "Someone, go and tell the Ministry of War that I have some matters to attend to. I will come to apologize in person tomorrow."

Su Yun also remembered something and said, "Let's go by ourselves."

"If Mother is worried, she'll have Uncle Chen go with them."

The head of the guards nodded: "Madam, rest assured, we will protect the young master."

He paused, then said, "And the young master."

Xi Yaoyue hesitated for a moment.

Xiang Shuying suddenly smiled and said, "Madam, let me and the two young masters go over there."

"In this great Qian Dynasty, under the clear blue sky, no one would dare to harm you, right?"

Swish!

Xiao Qingchen turned his head abruptly, looking at her incredulously: "You—"

Judging from his pale face, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that he didn't want to go to the Ministry of War.

And now... Xiang Shuying's gaze is entirely on Su Yun!

Because Su Yun wanted to go, she volunteered to go!

Xiao Qingchen spoke hoarsely, trying to get the other party to change their address: "Saint..."

Xi Yaoyue said, "Isn't the Holy Maiden of Xuanqing Sect looking for some auspicious feng shui location? How come she has time to go to other places?"

Xiang Shuying smiled sweetly: "Isn't Young Master Qingchen also going to the Ministry of War?"

"There's no other way; I need someone with great fortune to go with me."

"Hmm? Brother Qingchen, you don't look too well."

She then realized something was wrong, covered her mouth, and said sincerely, "Did I make you angry... I apologize to you."

"Are you unable to go out? I can stay here and keep you company."

Xiao Qingchen forced a smile.

Since things have come to this point, there's no way I can refuse to go.

He could only console himself: she knew nothing, it wasn't her fault, it was his fault.

Xiao Qingchen kept thinking that he had just said he was willing to go through fire and water, but the other party wasn't even paying attention to him...

Xi Yaoyue nodded: "Alright then, Guard Chen, be careful."

Su Yun was speechless; this green tea bitch was too good at finding opportunities.

But it doesn't matter, her companion is Xiao Qingchen, it has nothing to do with her.

Su Yun looked up: "Grandma, did you take that pill?"

Grandma Mei gave a curt "Oh," and said, "I ate it."

Su Yun pouted: "I didn't eat!"

Grandma Mei said coldly, "I didn't eat."

Su Yun chuckled: "Remember to eat, okay?"

After everyone left, Grandma Mei finally smiled and said, "Silly child, Grandma is old, why should I eat anymore?"

She coughed twice and took out a warm pill from her pocket.

He took a sniff, then put it back.

……

They traveled smoothly all the way to the Ministry of War.

Xiao Qingchen looked displeased, but since he was already there, he loudly proclaimed, "Minister Li sent us to see him!"

The guards at the gate blocked the way with their spears: "Unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter!"

The tiger fell down and was bullied by the dog!

Xiao Qingchen had never been treated like this before. Whether in his previous life or this one, everyone treated him with utmost respect!

He was about to explode in fury: "Dog..."

The head of the guards smiled wryly and took out a few high-grade spirit stones: "The Zhenyuan Marquis's residence received a letter from Minister Li and has come to pay their respects."

"Please pass on a message."

The guards exchanged a glance, their faces stern: "Wait here."

Su Yun tilted her head: "Uncle, could you please call Grandpa for me?"

The guard instinctively asked, "Your grandfather is...?"

Su Yun handed over the jade pendant: "My grandfather is Minister Li."

The guards were shocked when they saw the jade pendant: "The Heavenly Fortune Jade Pendant!"

"Young master, please wait a moment... no, please come in, please come to the guest room for tea, I will report right away!"

Xiao Qingchen: "..."

What? My Grand Secretary Grandfather?

Xiang Shuying glanced at Xiao Qingchen, then kept staring at Su Yun.
