Fortunately, Princess Pingyang stopped their brainstorming session, saying, "Let's not do it. What if we become ugly?"
Xu Qi'an felt exhausted. Her senior sister was truly a wonderful senior sister; she was beyond words.
Then, Xu Qi'an heard Chu Caiwei's voice again, "Pingyang, haven't you forgotten that stupid monk yet!"
Hearing Princess Pingyang's voice, Xu Qi'an panicked a little, "Caiwei, don't talk nonsense, let bygones be bygones!"
Chu Caiwei pointed at the coffin from afar and said, "Then why did you shave your junior brother's head!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Qi'an was greatly shocked!
His soul is no longer embedded in his body, so he doesn't feel that he has no hair.
Princess Pingyang explained, "Those fell out by himself. The hair and fur that fell out of the coffin were all his own!"
Xu Qi'an suddenly realized why Chu Caiwei and Princess Pingyang were so far away from him.
It must have been after facing death and being reborn that one's physical body underwent a complete transformation, shedding hair and dead skin. Although it didn't smell bad, it probably didn't smell good either.
After a thorough examination, Song Qing reluctantly closed the coffin and turned to Princess Pingyang, saying, "Your Highness, is Lord Li at home? I have something to discuss with him."
Princess Pingyang said, "Yes, but I'm meeting with a friend right now. Is there anything I can help you with?"
Song Qing pointed at Zhong Li and said, "My master hopes that Junior Sister Zhong can follow Lord Li for a period of time, and asks Lord Li to give her more guidance."
Princess Pingyang looked closely at Zhong Li. Her hair was loose and she was dressed in a simple robe, but judging from her face, she must be a great beauty.
"Then you can wait in the front hall for a while."
As the group walked towards the front hall, Chu Caiwei asked with dissatisfaction, "Why didn't Master let me train with Li Chang'an for a while? It's obvious that I need more training."
Song Qing patiently said, "Master said that even if he didn't say it, you would still be running around Li Chang'an every day, so there's no need for that."
In the study.
Mu Nanzhi's emotional infidelity spiraled out of control, revealing her true colors once again, prompting Professor Li Chang'an to create calligraphy and paintings.
She was conflicted. Just three months ago, she had vowed never to see Li Chang'an again.
But after only a few days, she couldn't resist the urge.
Because her life was so boring, she was married in name only but never touched a man, and she was merely bearing the title of the most beautiful woman in Da Feng without anyone appreciating her.
The Bodhi seed bracelet that Li Chang'an sent her became her lifeline. Every time she disguised herself and went out, she couldn't help but want to go to the Li residence to take a look.
She herself only checked and occasionally inquired whether Li Chang'an had returned.
However, Xu Lingyue is now at the eighth rank of cultivation, and there is a Taoist formation in the Li residence, so Xu Lingyue can perceive things around the Li residence.
Therefore, Xu Lingyue knew very well when Mu Nanzhi had come.
"Your Highness, why are you always so distracted..."
Li Chang'an grasped Mu Nanzhi's hand directly, causing her heart to tremble.
Another hour has passed. Time always seems to fly when I'm with Li Chang'an.
"Thank you for your guidance, Mr. Li. I'll take my leave now."
Although she was extremely reluctant to leave, the red thread in Mu Nanzhi's heart remained. She repeatedly reminded herself that she was only there to learn calligraphy and must not have any other thoughts.
This is the last time! You absolutely can't come again!
Mu Nanzhi made up her mind and lightly slipped into her carriage.
"You little slut!"
This was Luo Yuheng's voice. This leader of the Human Sect had appeared on Mu Nanzhi's carriage without anyone noticing.
Seeing Luo Yuheng's ambiguous smile, Mu Nanzhi's face immediately fell.
"I promise, this is the last time!"
Luo Yuheng stretched out his long, slender, fair fingers, removed Mu Nanzhi's Bodhi seed bracelet, and then pinched her delicate, fair face.
"I believe you, this is the last time today."
Mu Nanzhi was both amused and exasperated, then her face filled with worry.
"I've just never been in contact with other men, which is why I've developed some dependence on Li Chang'an..."
Luo Yuheng couldn't help but laugh, "So, this is your reason for secretly meeting with him?"
"If you see him often and gradually get to know him, you won't feel that he's anything special, and then you might just become ordinary friends!"
Luo Yuheng stared at Mu Nanzhi in shock. What kind of brain could come up with such logic? Love-struck people are terrifying.
“Yuheng, think about it. Li Chang’an was famous before, and I have long admired him. It’s inevitable that I have some unrealistic fantasies about him.”
"But now, as you get to know him better, you realize he's just a human being, not a god..."
Luo Yuheng chuckled lightly, "And then, don't you realize he's not so great after all?"
Mu Nanzhi shook her head, then said bitterly, "No, I think he's even better than the rumors say. He's no ordinary person! He's handsome and talented..."
Luo Yuheng decisively interrupted Mu Nanzhi, "He is indeed no ordinary person. How could an ordinary person dare to seduce the Princess Consort of Zhenbei, who is also a princess consort bestowed by His Majesty?"
Mu Nanzhi's expression tightened, and she immediately corrected herself, "No! I was the one who approached him!"
Luo Yuheng glanced at Mu Nanzhi with pity, "Li Chang'an is an unpredictable person. We don't know what his purpose is. You'd better be careful."
Mu Nanzhi nodded, then asked with some suspicion, "Yuheng, what are you doing here?"
Luo Yuheng paused for a moment, then said naturally, "Li Chang'an is trying to resurrect the dead; it might be some kind of evil magic."
“As the head of the Human Sect, how can I tolerate his use of evil magic? That’s why I’ve come to check on the situation.”
Mu Nanzhi said with concern, "Mr. Li is a man of integrity. Isn't it said that all those who cultivate Confucianism are good people? You must be mistaken."
Luo Yuheng shook his head. "His disciples didn't die at all. It was just a martial artist advancing through a process of facing death. I don't know what they're up to."
As their carriage gradually left Xuanwu Street, another carriage suddenly approached from the opposite direction, also heading towards Li Chang'an's residence.
The carriage sped past, and passersby quickly made way for it. Mu Nanzhi put on her bracelet and peeked out from behind the curtain.
"Huh? It's a carriage from Lin'an, why is it going so fast!"
"Is this girl in such a hurry to find Li Chang'an? What kind of behavior is this for a princess!"
Mu Nanzhi pouted, her words dripping with sourness.
Chapter 333 Biao Biao: Cases the Night Watchman Can't Solve, I'll Solve!
Li Chang'an's residence.
Song Qing and the others finally met Li Chang'an and explained their purpose.
Zhong Li, the fifth disciple of the supervisor, is a fifth-rank prophet. Because he often pries into the secrets of heaven, he may suffer a backlash from the heavens, leading to misfortune.
She must endure 3,600 tribulations to advance in her cultivation; otherwise, she will perish.
The supervisor guessed that Li Chang'an had extraordinary luck, so he let Zhong Li follow Li Chang'an.
"So, those who can advance to the fourth-rank sorcerer are all people with great fortune? Like Yang Qianhuan?"
According to Song Qing and the others, only those with great fortune can withstand the misfortune of being a fifth-rank official.
Zhong Li nodded and said, "That's right, Senior Brother Yang's luck is indeed amazing. Master said that your luck is strong and that letting me follow you will reduce bad luck. You are my opportunity."
Li Chang'an could tell at a glance that Zhong Li was also a great beauty, just not the flamboyant kind.
At this moment, Chu Caiwei said with great concern, "I'm about to become a prophet too. Won't Li Chang'an have to bear the misfortune for both me and my fifth senior sister at the same time?"
Song Qing said, "Master said that Brother Li's luck is unprecedented. Not to mention two sorcerers, even ten would be no problem."
Li Chang'an was taken aback. The supervisor was really treating him like family. They weren't even that familiar with each other.
According to the supervisor, Li Chang'an is a perfect breeding ground for fifth-grade prophets. As long as a fifth-grade prophet is placed by his side, he can successfully resist misfortune.
At this moment, Zhong Li took out a small box from her bosom, which looked like it contained pills.
“Mr. Li, this is a Mind-Calming Pill that my master gave you. He said you should be able to use it.”
This is a rare find. In this world, only the Human Sect and sorcerers are skilled in alchemy, and this kind of pill can promote the cultivation of the Yang Spirit. Even Luo Yuheng might not have it.
With this elixir, Li Chang'an's cultivation speed at the third-grade Yang God Realm will be greatly increased, and the possibility of entering the second-grade Tribulation Transcending Realm will be greatly enhanced.
Of course, dual cultivation with Luo Yuheng or Mu Nanzhi also yields good results.
Li Chang'an gladly accepted it, then looked at Chu Caiwei and said, "Caiwei, when you advance to the fifth-grade prophet, you can also stay by my side."
Chu Caiwei clenched her little fist and said excitedly, "Don't worry, Li Chang'an! I will definitely work hard!"
"When I advance to the rank of Prophet, I will ask my master for elixirs. I can't let you help me ward off misfortune for nothing!"
Song Qing and Zhong Li were both a little embarrassed. Was this their master's most beloved junior sister? This wasn't just siding with outsiders; it was like she was siding with someone else entirely.
Just then, Xu Lingyue's voice suddenly came from outside the door, "Young Master, Prince Lin'an is here, and he seems to be in a great hurry!"
"Ahem!" Song Qing coughed twice. "Mr. Li, I shall take my leave."
As soon as Song Qing stepped out of the front hall, he saw Princess Lin'an wiping away tears as she entered the room, sobbing softly as she ran.
"Li Chang'an, you must save my brother, the Crown Prince!"
Biao Biao was very excited and, ignoring Zhong Li, Chu Caiwei, and Princess Pingyang watching from the side, threw herself into Li Chang'an's arms.
