Tian Yuan

Chapter 2044 Arriving at the Academy and Meeting Again

Perhaps not wanting to make too much noise, Chen Qingyuan did not stand outside the door stupidly. Instead, he removed the restriction and quietly entered Daoyi Academy with An Xiruo.

After all, Chen Qingyuan was a member of the academy, so he didn't need to use brute force to break in. He was very familiar with the restrictions in various places and knew how to break them.

After coming in, he went straight to Baiyan Palace.

At the same time, Baiyan Palace was quite lively.

The pavilions are exquisite and the clear pond is vast.

There is an ancient pavilion in the middle of the pond, with three people sitting in the pavilion, drinking tea, fishing and talking about world affairs.

These three people have extremely high status, and they are the current president Zhao Yichuan and two vice presidents.

By the lake, there were more than a dozen respected elders. After reporting on various important matters of Daoyi Academy, they began to discuss loudly, occasionally exclaiming.

"Can you please move to another place and not disturb my quiet life?"

Yu Chenran, who was dressed in simple cloth, had not caught a single fish during this period and was in a depressed mood. He blamed the group of old friends for the fishing, thinking that it must be because they were making so much noise here that he had no luck at all.

What they were fishing for were not simple fish, but special spiritual creatures cultivated through the Dao rhyme. There were only a hundred or so of them, and they were extremely precious.

After catching the fish, you can cook and eat it if you want. If not, just put it back into the pond.

Fishing without using any external force is a form of spiritual practice.

Cultivate your mind and attain enlightenment.

"Old Yu, it wasn't like this when you asked me to drink tea with you before."

The other vice president was named Lin Wenchou, who wore a clean and tidy Taoist robe. He had sparse hair and a beard about one foot long, all of which were snow-white. He had a refined temperament and an immortal-like demeanor.

"Uncle Yu, you are not at peace."

Zhao Yichuan was dressed much more elegantly than the two vice presidents, with his black hair tied up in a crown, a well-fitting brocade robe, and a dignified expression.

"It's like you're calm."

Yu Chenran glanced at Zhao Yichuan who was pretending to be deep and sneered.

Zhao Yichuan's expression was calm: "Not bad."

Only when you are calm can you make the fish of spiritual charm bite the hook. Unfortunately, the three of them fished for many days, but no one took the bait.

Just now, when two colorful bighead carps swam past Zhao Yichuan's fishing hook, they glanced at him sneerfully, opened their mouths and exhaled, blowing the fishing hook that was blocking their way aside and flying away.

Arrogant!

It's really too arrogant!

Zhao Yichuan seemed indifferent, but a fierce look flashed in his eyes.

He quietly cast a spell, leaving marks on the two fathead fish. Next time when no one was around, he would sneak over and give them two hard slaps. If they were not convinced, he would fry them on the spot and serve them as snacks.

If Zhao Yichuan hadn't had to worry about his own reputation, he would have taken action long ago to let the two spirit fish recognize who is bigger and who is smaller and teach them a lesson.

"Dean, the gifts are ready. When will we leave for Qing Sect?"

At this time, an elder came quickly and reported the situation.

Not long ago, they heard that Chen Qingyuan and the new emperor appeared in Qingzong, which shocked the world and aroused great excitement.

Countless powerful men rushed towards Qing Sect like crazy. Even if they were not qualified to enter Qing Sect, they wanted to get closer. Maybe they would be lucky enough to look up and see the supreme style of the emperor of the time.

After Daoyi Academy learned the news, no one in the clan could remain calm.

I had thought of going to Qingzong immediately to express my sincerest respect to the new emperor. But then I thought it would be inappropriate to visit empty-handed, so I quickly asked the elders in the warehouse to select some precious items. If there were any missing, I would find a way to buy them.

"Going right now."

Zhao Yichuan stood up suddenly and gave an order.

"We agreed beforehand that whoever didn't catch any fish would stay home."

Seeing Zhao Yichuan standing up, Yu Chenran immediately spoke up to remind him.

"It's impossible for all three of us not to go!"

Lin Wenchou smiled bitterly.

No one can maintain a truly meditative state when going to pay homage to the new emperor.

"As the head of the academy, I should go there. The two vice-presidents should stay at home to guard the place."

Zhao Yichuan had a serious expression.

"No, I have to go too."

Yu Chenran was not satisfied with this proposal.

"Okay, you guys go, I'll stay at home."

Lin Wenchou had no objection.

One was the head of the academy, and the other was the master's mentor. Lin Wenchou knew his own status and took the initiative to give in.

"Just do it!"

Zhao Yichuan nodded slightly.

Therefore, Zhao Yichuan decided to lead a group of elders and core disciples to Qing Sect together.

Just as Zhao Yichuan and Yu Chenran were about to leave the ancient pavilion in the lake, they clearly sensed that a nearby void was twisting and deforming, and there was a familiar breath fluctuation.

The higher-ups of the academy subconsciously tensed their minds and cast sharp and vigilant glances.

Chen Qingyuan and An Xiruo appeared at the location where the space was distorted.

When the two of them appeared, the senior members of the academy present were stunned.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then came to their senses, their faces suddenly changed, and they were terrified.

"Your Majesty! Emperor!"

After reacting, Zhao Yichuan and others immediately bowed with respect and shouted in unison.

The senior executives present had never expected that Chen Qingyuan and An Xiruo would suddenly appear in front of them. They were so frightened that their legs were shaking and they were under great psychological pressure.

He appeared and disappeared so elusively that no one noticed him at all beforehand.

Fortunately, I didn’t say anything bad about Your Majesty and the Empress, otherwise I would be in big trouble.

The elders were frightened to the point of breaking out in cold sweats. They kept their heads down, not daring to look directly at the emperor.

Many elders wanted to perform the kneeling ceremony, but were supported by Chen Qingyuan with invisible force.

"You are welcome, elders."

Chen Qingyuan said with a smile.

"No need to be polite."

An Xieruo's words were like a gentle breeze that swept through every corner of Baiyan Palace, reducing everyone's pressure suddenly and dispersing the uneasiness in their hearts.

Others perform salutes out of respect for the current emperor. It would be inappropriate to stop them forcibly.

Originally, Yu Chenran also wanted to bow, but was stopped by Chen Qingyuan's gentle force.

"Master!"

Arriving at the edge of the clear pond, Chen Qingyuan looked at Yu Chenran in the ancient pavilion, called out with a faint smile on his face.

Yu Chenran opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he couldn't utter a word and just stood there in a daze.

Under the gaze of everyone, Chen Qingyuan and An Xiruo walked side by side on the water and arrived at the ancient pavilion in a few steps.

Then, An Xiruo gently placed her hands above her abdomen, nodded to Yu Chenran, and called softly, "Master."

An Xiruo already knew about Yu Chenran.

Whenever Chen Qingyuan was in danger, Yu Chenran was willing to do everything he could to help him.

Once, on the eve of the arrival of a prosperous era, Yu Chenran heard that Chen Qingyuan was bullied, and he rushed to Shenzhou in anger, not caring about his own life, in order to avenge his disciple.
