Chapter 256 The Grand Master is Not Serious at All
"Miss, the princess is back and wants you in."
I don’t know how much time passed before I heard the voice of a female official.
Chu Wantang opened her eyes. The peach blossom eyes that used to be sparkling and misty were now cold and sharp. She stood up and walked towards the depths of the palace.
The original name of Wuyang Palace was Princess Mansion, but the Grand Master did not like this name, so he changed the name to Wuyang Palace.
It is said that there was also a Wuyang Palace in the imperial palace, which was the residence of the founding emperor and empress. Later, for unknown reasons, the Wuyang Palace was demolished and rebuilt and converted into the Chengqian Palace.
The Grand Master changed the Princess's Mansion into Wuyang Palace, which was an act of great disrespect, but the founding emperor did not pursue it and even wrote the plaque himself.
This incident made the Grand Master the talk of the town and shrouded her in mystery. Even though Chu Wantang and the Grand Master had a close relationship like mother and daughter, she did not know the secrets of the royal family.
Deep inside the palace there is a warm and fragrant air, and the palaces with carved beams and painted rafters are spacious and bright, displaying luxury.
An extremely graceful figure sat behind a desk, reading a book in her hand. The figure had a stunning face and was very noble. She was the legendary being regarded as a god by millions of people, Princess Longjia Wei Jinyao, the almighty Grand Lord.
But she was not as aloof as the common people imagined, but rather a bit lazy and casual.
“Master.” Chu Wantang bowed and greeted him, then raised his head and reminded him, “The book is upside down.”
The chief secretary looked up with a smile in her eyes. She didn't like reading to begin with, she was just pretending. Now that she was exposed, she was not angry. She simply threw the book on the table, stood up and said, "Lanlan is back? Did you have fun outside?"
As she stood up, the two heavy fruits on her chest trembled slightly.
The Grand Master perfectly inherited the virtues of the royal family, with a flamboyant and bright appearance, as stunningly beautiful as a rose with thorns.
The purple dress was as soft as water waves, fitting her plump body, her breasts were like full moons, with an amazing curve.
She was lazily wearing a white fox fur coat, which fell to her arms as she walked, hanging loosely behind her. As she walked, her long legs wrapped in black stockings were faintly visible, vaguely outlining her plump buttocks.
She was dressed brightly and seductively, but without any trace of frivolity, only the elegance and dignity of having held a high position for a long time.
This charm and maturity are just the natural charm that "fermentes" with age, not the charm and sexiness that are deliberately created.
The eldest princess is a ripe woman, like a peach, which will produce juice if pinched.
But no one dares to do it so far.
"Master, what did you do just now?" Chu Wantang did not answer, but looked at her master quietly. This was the first time in all these years that her master did not wait for her to greet him.
Chu Wantang didn't mind waiting outside, but she felt something was wrong.
If someone else were here, they would probably be very surprised. It is unheard of for an apprentice to "question" his master.
The chief master was not angry, but spoke in a friendly tone: "There are no outsiders here, Lanlan, and you are not practicing, so there is no need to be so cold... Hurry up and return to your normal state and talk to the master!"
"Then other people will think that both of us, master and disciple, are not serious." Chu Wantang insisted.
Since her master is able to control the Demon Suppression Bureau, her skills and thoughts are naturally unfathomable. However, she just disdains to use her thoughts and prefers to use her fists. She acts quite casually when she is outside.
In the eyes of the nobles in the capital, the eldest princess is a hypocrite. She looks imposing, cold and noble on the surface, but in fact she is a crazy woman who must not be provoked.
Fortunately, the nobles in the capital did not dare to gossip about him, so he was able to maintain his reputation as the Grand Master in public.
It was for this reason that Chu Wantang activated the jade pendant immediately after returning to Bian Jing, switching himself to aloof and serious mode. Otherwise, outsiders would think that both the master and disciple of Wuyang Palace were abnormal.
The chief priest looked at his good disciple in front of him and regretted it deeply: "If I had known earlier, I would not have given you the jade pendant. Look at how cold and boring you are now. You are much worse than that kid named Lu."
"Master went to see Lu Zhan?" Chu Wantang immediately became alert. Master was only serious about the affairs of the Demon Suppression Bureau. He had no plan at all for other matters. She was afraid that Master would leave a deep psychological trauma on Lu Zhan.
But think about it, Lu Zhan is not a serious person... If he really meets his master, it is not certain who will leave a psychological trauma on whom.
Chu Wantang felt relieved.
"No..." The chief minister denied it flatly: "I want to see him, but do I have to do it secretly? I can just ask him to come and see me."
After he finished speaking, a glimmer of purple light suddenly lingered on the fingertips of the Grand Master. The light suddenly turned, and Chu Wantang felt as if an acupoint was pressed. In a flash, he was forced back to normal mode.
"Master!" Xiao Chu stomped his feet, very dissatisfied with his master's behavior.
The chief minister smiled without saying anything, but a glimmer of purple light appeared in his eyes. A vague aura enveloped his heart. Chu Wantang immediately bowed his head and did not dare to stamp his feet again.
The Grand Master smiled again. She sat back at the table, placed the heavy fruits on the table, and asked like a sister chatting, "You and Lu Zhan traveled together, a man and a woman, did you do anything?"
Xiao Chu's eyelids jumped, and he said in shame and anger: "Master is really... really indecent. Lu Guanqi and I are just friends. How can Master ask such a question?"
"Just make a joke to liven up the atmosphere." The chief steward smiled.
Chu Wantang sighed. If Lu Zhan saw his master like this, it would probably destroy the beauty in his heart. In the eyes of many people, the master is high and mighty and cannot be looked at directly.
Who could have thought that Master would be so frivolous in private.
Xiao Chu pouted and her face was as red as an apple.
The Grand Master stared at Chu Wantang for a long time, her eyes seemed to see through Chu Wantang. She deliberately said, "Since you are not interested in him, Lanlan, I will let him take charge of Baihu Street. Baihu Street is the most important part of Bianjing, and it is a good job for Lu Zhan to be in charge of it. After he has gained experience for a year or so, I will find an opportunity to promote him."
Ok?
Chu Wantang suddenly felt something was wrong. Bian Jing Baihu Street was indeed special, but this street was special not because there were many dignitaries, nor because it was a strategic location... It was simply because it was a brothel street, and the Twelve Floors of Bian Jing was among them.
The Twelve Floors of Bianjing refers to the twelve brothels which were extremely large in scale. Every year during the Flower Festival, the Twelve Floors would hold a Flower Festival Conference where many courtesans would compete with each other for beauty. The one who won the title would become a celebrity in Bianjing and be sought after by thousands of people.
in short……
Baihu Street is full of prostitutes who are hungry for food and have strong professional abilities.
Lanxiefang, the most famous restaurant in Jinling, cannot be compared with Twelve Floors in terms of professional ability.
Lu Zhan is a romantic man. If he were to be in charge of that street, with the right time, right place and right people, how could he be so great?
Chu Wantang said tactfully: "Master, Lu Guanqi has just been transferred here, and it is not appropriate to give him such a lucrative job. I suggest that you train him first and let him achieve some results."
The Grand Master knew what her apprentice meant. She clearly cared about Lu Zhan, but she refused to admit it... She pretended not to understand and said sarcastically, "You were the one who recommended him to me, and now you are the one who finds fault with him. What should I do?"
Xiao Chu hesitated for a moment and said, "I am afraid that he cannot convince others, not that I do not recognize his ability."
"What's there to be unconvinced about? Lu Zhan's fist is so hard, whoever disobeys can just be beaten up. In the Demon Suppression Bureau, fists speak the truth, whoever dares to provoke us will be beaten until he submits!" The chief officer said aggressively.
Chu Wantang's heart skipped a beat. She didn't doubt her master's words at all... because when her master didn't like someone, he would take action and beat the person into submission.
But Lu Zhan is different. No matter whether he can defeat the opponent or not, he cannot go to Baihu Street to manage things... Otherwise, the brothels in Baihu Street will definitely send him many women to get close to him...
Thinking of this, Chu Wantang said, "Lu Zhan has no foundation. If he just uses his fists, it may not be appropriate."
The chief priest took a deep look at his disciple and did not continue the topic. Instead, he narrowed his eyes and said, "Lanlan, you like reading storybooks, right?"
Chu Wantang was stunned. He didn’t understand why his master said this, but he didn’t hide it: “That’s right…”
“It’s nothing for you to read storybooks. It’s normal for a young girl to have love affairs, but…” The chief minister took out a book, threw it on the ground, and sighed, “But when you read this kind of storybook, I can’t help but worry about you… I thought you admired Lu Zhan, so you collected his masterpieces, but you said you didn’t like him. Then his masterpieces appeared in your room, which can only mean that you were peeking at them…”
Chu Wantang's eyes narrowed, and when she saw the book on the ground, her bright face suddenly froze, her eyes full of shock and embarrassment.
About Rope Art
This happened during the Princess Chang Yi case. Princess Chang Yi was very interested in rope crafting and had a mutual admiration for Lu Zhan. She asked Lu Zhan to write a book and teach her his rope crafting experience.
Later, Lu Zhan lived up to expectations and finally wrote his first book, sharing all the essence of rope art that he knew.
Princess Changyi regarded this booklet as a treasure. After returning to Bianliang, she printed a lot of it and gave it to many noble ladies. It could be said to be a top-secret book circulated among ladies.
When Zhu Fei brought this book to Chu Wantang for inspection, Chu Wantang scoffed at it and asked Zhu Fei to take the book and leave. Unexpectedly, Zhu Fei not only did not take it away, but even left it randomly, which was seen by the master...
Xiao Chu was stunned and didn't know how to explain for a moment.
It turns out that Master asked so many questions before because of this book.
The chief secretary restrained her cynical look, she sat up straight, her plump buttocks outlined a beautiful arc: "This was given to me by the maid who cleaned your room. You peeked at it, but you didn't put it away properly and the servants saw you."
"I, the master, never set limits on love affairs. If you have a crush on someone, you must tell me directly. The master will definitely help you. There is no need to read books to relieve your loneliness. Books are dead objects. They don't have any warmth."
The Grand Princess has been in a high position for many years, and even though she has a bad temper, she has developed a certain aura. At this moment, her expression is serious, and the aura that naturally exudes is full of oppression.
Chu Wantang knew that what his master said was true. His master had never been bound by worldly matters. In his view, if two people truly loved each other, it didn’t matter even if the other person’s family background was not good.
After all, cultivators are cultivating the path to immortality, and external things are not important.
Besides, Wuyang Palace has everything it needs and there is no need to rely on the help of her husband to add to it.
but……
"But this is really a misunderstanding!" Xiao Chu's scalp tingled: "This thing was brought by Zhu Fei. I clearly asked her to take it away..."
"Master understands. Master also went through this age." The chief minister said seriously, "It is normal for a young girl to be in love. Why do you have to hide it? As for the group of old stubborn people in the Qin family, you don't have to pay attention to them. Master will protect you. At your age, you should find a partner."
Xiao Chu looked stunned: "What do you know? You really don't understand!"
Master's thinking has always been different from that of ordinary people, otherwise how could he have refined so many strange magic weapons and elixirs.
Chu Wantang was afraid that his master might be thinking inaccurately, so he quickly corrected him: "Before I entered the realm of creation, I never...never had any thoughts in that regard."
"?"
The Grand Master blinked, and she felt relieved when she saw her disciple's confident look.
As expected of his disciple, he even lied with a clear conscience.
Let alone anything else, she knew everything about Chu Wantang's time in Jinling.
Chu Wantang has been in Bian Jing for many years and has never been so close to any man, but she only favors Lu Zhan. If someone says that Chu Wantang has no feelings for Lu Zhan, no one would believe it.
The Grand Master originally wanted to help her apprentice, but seeing her apprentice's intense reaction, she felt that young people were really slow and couldn't help feeling a little impatient.
She leaned forward, squeezing the fruits, and said meaningfully: "Lanlan, think it over before you answer. Master will only ask you this once."
Chu Wantang was speechless. She opened her mouth, not knowing how to answer, and asked, "Everyone else wants their disciples to practice Taoism, why do you, Master, want me to get married?"
"Because Master is an experienced person." The chief steward took a sip of tea and sighed, "It's all Master's fault for not being a decent person when he was young. He did evil things every day and refined some messed up pills, so that those old guys found an excuse to attack me... You must not follow Master's old path, or you will become an old fairy."
The Grand Master was very concerned about his age, and whenever he was educating Xiao Chu, he couldn't help feeling disappointed.
If she had done something serious when she was young, her reputation would definitely be better than it is now, and she wouldn't be single at her age.
Even cultivators feel lonely sometimes.
"Your old path?" Chu Wantang keenly grasped the key points: "Master, do you regret being single until now? Do you want to find a Taoist partner?"
Xiao Chu was extremely shocked. If this matter were to get out, the outside world would surely be in an uproar.
The Grand Master 'sitting high on the lotus platform' is actually in love at an old age?
This is incredible.
The chief steward coughed dryly and squinted his eyes, "What are you talking about? The master is teaching you, but you are asking about the master instead? Since you said you don't like Lu Zhan, the master won't force you. Just be careful when you read this kind of book in the future... Don't let others see it and affect your reputation."
You actually still care about public opinion... Chu Wantang's scalp tingled. He knew that he couldn't explain it clearly, so he didn't explain it at the moment. He said in a muffled voice, "Disciple knows."
"Yes." The chief minister said lazily, "Xuan Luzhan will meet with the demon-suppressing department tomorrow."
Chu Wantang was not supposed to go to the audience with Xuan Ren, but she was also going to see Lu Zhan, so she replied, "Disciple understands."
"If you have nothing to do, go back and rest." The chief steward yawned.
Chu Wantang thought about the Disguise Pill and wanted to ask for two for Lu Zhan to do research, so he asked, "I heard that Master has recently developed a new type of Disguise Pill. Can you give me two?"
"Hmm..." When talking about his own elixir, the chief minister hesitated: "It was indeed researched, but there were some deviations in the process, which led to a few side effects."
"Ok?"
The chief priest covered his chest and sighed, "To put it simply, it will turn people into naughty children and restrict some of their power..."
Chu Wantang: "...I'll take my leave, disciple."
