Between words, the unconscious opens the heart.

Gu Mingyan himself thought it was strange, but the warmth from the hug was still there, and his usually cold fingertips were still burning faintly.

She was a fool to reveal her true appearance!

He glared angrily at Xiao Qiran who was beside talking to Mr. Xu, and simply gave up on his cup, flicked his sleeves and stood up, taking the chance to casually grab a book on a shelf to read.

Xiao Qiran followed her gaze over, and waited until Gu Mingyan was leaning on the table to study it, before withdrawing his gaze.

Xu Chang watched the actions of the two juniors attentively and coughed twice.

"Since you're here to clean up the academy and he has matters to attend to, I won't interfere. But before you do anything, you must tell me everything. If you continue to act recklessly, don't blame me for teaching you a lesson, you stinking brat!"

"Rest assured, sir."

Xiao Qiran smiled awkwardly, and did not agree to it.

Imperial Father had asked him to investigate the Rui Pavilion, but many people in the academy knew that this was a strange place.

The Rui Pavilion was built together with the academy and had been built for a long time, but even Xu Chang did not know the secrets behind it. The Rui Pavilion had sent people to disturb them everyday, but there was nothing extraordinary about it, only a broken real item called the Nine Immortals Star Plate, which was carved by the twin brothers and worshipped by the two brothers in their little village.

However, in the end, the two brothers were unable to get into an agreement. In one breath, they destroyed the Nine Immortal Star Plate, then for some reason, they ended up in the Rui Pavilion and stored it for a long time.

Now, other than this broken item, there were only a few other miscellaneous items in the Rui Pavilion. There was nothing else.

I don't know where my royal father heard this, but even an attic in this small academy was suspicious.

He was still indulging in his fantasies when he heard Xu Chang continue to speak, "I have also heard of the rumors regarding the Nine Immortal Star Plate, and the little village that the two brothers were born in was also not simple. It was not an ordinary village, but a village used to worship the gods, with only nine families.

Saying that, Xu Chang shook his head.

Xiao Qiran took the opportunity to catch up, "I have heard of this before, it seems like these nine fairies were born in the Savage Land, and had been through many hardships before finally forming a road. However, they did not need the Burning Incense Sculpting Cave, but instead used their blood to raise their immortal sculptures.

People in Shengan will never believe such things, so they can't find any clues at all. However, this Rui Pavilion was built by a Shengan craftsman, and I've asked him a few years ago. He only knows how to build a tower, and there's nothing amiss about it. Xu Chang put down his cup and asked doubtfully, "Why would the emperor remember to come to this auspicious pavilion?

"Someone must have found something." Xiao Qiran also frowned, how on earth did such a matter that had nothing to do with Shengan reach royal father's ears?

Speaking till here, it had nothing to do with Xu Chang.

Since he was a member of the Academy, he was supposed to assist the imperial court, but he did not participate in the secrets of the palace.

Those who were able to personally speak to the Emperor about this academy definitely weren't court officials who only had eyes for the River and Mountain Society …

It could only be the words of a certain prince.

After a moment of silence, Gu Mingyan finally raised his head. Seeing the master and disciple looking at each other, they withdrew their gazes and started to ponder.

Closing the book in her hand, she was actually curious about the Nine Immortals' matter. "If you want to know about the Nine Immortals' Star Plate, why don't you first think about what the Nine Immortals have accomplished?"

"How?" Xu Chang asked.

"If we have a son to send to Guan Yin, and an Earthen Lord who protects a region, then what is the position of the Nine Immortals Division?" Once you know what the Nine Immortals have done, you will know why they have been so hard to find, and why they have not hesitated to use their blood to nurture them. When the two brothers were born in a village to offer sacrifices to the heavens, there was always one person in the family who worshipped the Immortals, and they only offered sacrifices to the heavens once in the entire sixty years.

Gu Mingyan walked around the bookshelf and gently held the book in his hand.

"It doesn't matter if you believe in gods or evil beings. Disciples all have their own needs, but with so many people believing in such things, and even with time passing by, there will definitely be people secretly operating behind them. That's the real deal."

"Perhaps it really is the manifestation of Lord Buddha?" Xu Chang looked at her.

The corner of Gu Mingyan's mouth rose into a helpless smile, and with a gentle voice, he said: "If it's just a simple trust between men and women, it's just adding some incense, I am willing to ask for Buddha's blessing. However, to serve them with blood would require a lot of courage, and who gave that courage to them? "

"If it was only one or two God's Staff that talked about this, it wouldn't have been enough to create a village. A person would be sacrificed once every sixty years for a long time, and they wouldn't be able to earn much money. How could they deceive a person for so long?"

After he finished speaking, Gu Mingyan sat down with the scroll in his hands.

"There is only one possibility."

"It is only because someone is behind the Nine Immortals that they are able to win over the hearts of the people. That is why they can be trusted for a long time."

Although she didn't believe in ghosts or gods, she still held a respectful heart.

But if any belief was tainted with blood energy, she would treat it as an evil being and believe that there were evil spirits in this world, and she did not believe that all evil beings were good.

After hearing Gu Mingyan's words, Xu Chang glanced at her and smiled: "You are indeed intelligent."

"Mr. Xu should praise me more normally." Gu Mingyan welcomed him with a smile, and started flipping through the handwritten book again, no longer disturbing him.

However, Xiao Qiran was suspicious: "I didn't think that you could even talk about matters regarding the Evil Sect."

"If it's true, then at least I am such a person." Gu Mingyan raised his head from within the book, and revealed a smile as he revealed his white teeth.

He won over the hearts of the wealthy merchants and rebuilt the name of the Medicine Aristocrat Clan.

In her previous life, her family did indeed know how to raise their status. Even if they were to spend money to make a name for themselves, they would definitely not accept the cheap deal. They always took the high-end route, which was why they were able to take down the wallets of rich people.

However, Xu Chang thought that she was talking about her Prime Minister father.

Xiao Qiran smiled faintly: "Then if it was you, why did you do this?"

"Since they are able to offer up all their blood, then they are naturally able to offer up even more things." Gu Mingyan made a throat slitting gesture, "Perhaps they were the ones who used their hands to take someone's life, or perhaps they stole something? It is possible that it is related to the transmission of news. After all, there are many believers and many spies, and all of these believers are commoners; how can we possibly distinguish them? "

"Perhaps, this is the reason why royal father has asked me to come."

Xiao Qiran was clearly not surprised by this answer.
