My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty

Chapter 34 Tianji Pavilion's Consecrator in Langzhou? Female Emperor's Shock

The little child was, of course, Junior Daoist Zhongren.

It wasn't a lack of respect for the female Emperor that made him fall asleep. Elder Yunlong had informed him before his seclusion that he should wait for the two guests from the Jing Nation.

Fearing that he might miss them, he had been waiting. Exhausted, he couldn't help but fall asleep. However, this unintentional act turned out to be counterproductive.

Seeing Mu Yuyan angry, he was at a loss for how to respond, and the aura of the "Senior Brother" was instantly suppressed by the female Emperor.

"What was your name?" Mu Yuyan squinted her phoenix eyes and asked softly.

"Zhongren," Zhongren answered honestly.

"We were here that day to express our thanks. Several days ago, Elder Yunlong helped the Great Jing's garrison at Jade Gate Pass eliminate two Demon Emperors. Were you aware of this?" Mu Yuyan inquired.

"I didn't know," Zhongren shook his head. After parting ways with Gu Lan that day, he returned to his quarters, and he had no knowledge of what his master did afterward.

Mu Yuyan sensed that he was not lying. After a moment of contemplation, she raised a gentle smile and asked, "Junior Daoist, Tianji Pavilion has always had only inner and outer apprentices. When did it acquire a consecrator? Could you disclose more?"

The mystery of the "Senior Brother" had been unraveled, and although the result was somewhat unexpected, Mu Yuyan was curious about the significance of the Consecrator. Furthermore, she had an inkling that this sudden Consecrator might be related to the Great Jing, or else Elder Yunlong wouldn't have acted against the Demon Realm.

However, Zhongren seemed to become cautious. He looked at the two women with sparkling eyes and said, "The identity of the Consecrator's occupant is a taboo for Tianji Pavilion. Master forbade us from revealing it..."

"Alright," Mu Yuyan understood that this Consecrator's occupant might be crucial for Tianji Pavilion, and that's why the Elder had ordered them to keep it confidential.

"Could you please convey our gratitude to Elder Yunlong on behalf of us? If Tianji Pavilion ever needs assistance from the Jing Nation, we would certainly not decline," Mu Yuyan said, trying to get some information.

Unable to extract more details, Mu Yuyan smiled faintly and prepared to take her leave.

At this moment, Zhongren seemed to recall something. Scratching his head through his Daoist hat, he took out a sealed letter from his robe. "Oh right, Master seemed to instruct that this letter should be shown to the guests from the Jing Nation..."

Mu Yuyan: "..."

A letter from the head of Tianji Pavilion was something no one should have underestimated. How could it have almost been overlooked? Was this little Daoist truly the Senior Brother of Tianji Pavilion and the only direct apprentice of Elder Yunlong? He didn't seem very clever. Mu Yuyan looked at Zhongren, seemingly worried about the fate of this venerable sect that had existed for thousands of years.

Taking the envelope, Zhongren yawned as if he had no interest in the contents of the letter. He arched his hand in a gesture of farewell, "Dear friends, my task is complete. Take care."

"Goodbye," Mu Yuyan watched him leave, fearing that the drowsy little Daoist might tumble down the mountain. Only then did she slowly open the envelope.

As she scanned the contents, she became aware of the formidable abilities of the Head of Tianji Pavilion.

"Were the two Daoist friends here to express gratitude for the matter at Jade Gate Pass?" she read.

"I can only say that Tianji Pavilion remains a neutral force, with no intention of forming ties with any side. I hope Daoist friends can understand."

If those mysterious experts really intended to harm Gu Lan, there would have been plenty of opportunities before. How could things have been so calm and peaceful?

"Let's go back first. We shouldn't stay away from Master Gu for too long in the future," Mu Yuyan lightly instructed, pinching the sword tactic with her jade hand and soaring into the sky.

Even though the female Emperor's character was calm and composed, when it came to someone she cared about, it was inevitable to feel a bit restless.

"..."

Liu Yexi could only nod in response and hastily follow.

On the other side, in Langzhou City.

Three days had passed, and the Autumn Examination had already completed its first day.

Gu Lan stretched lazily and returned to the simple courtyard in the corner of the city. Lin Lu had left yesterday, and instead of renting an inn, Gu Lan and Old Yang chose to stay in the small courtyard to take care of the still unconscious Lin Dan'er.

"Young Master, finished the exam?" Old Yang, currently fetching water by the well, raised his head to see the Young Master returning.

"Yeah, just the first day."

"With Young Master's knowledge, it shouldn't be difficult, right?" Old Yang asked with a smiling face.

"Oh, it's just so-so," Gu Lan casually replied.

He didn't lie; the difficulty of the questions was indeed average. If he were to write seriously, it wouldn't be difficult to achieve a top result. However, he didn't write anything!

This year, the Chief Secretary of Langzhou would receive the first blank paper in its history—Examinee No. 295, Gu Lan.

He was pretty confident about failing...

Gu Lan thought to himself with peace of mind, then asked Old Yang, "By the way, Old Yang, has Miss Dan'er's medicine been decocted?"

When he went out in the morning, he had picked a few Yin-cold spiritual herbs from the system space and instructed Old Yang about it. It was all for the sake of taking care of Lin Lu's sister.

"It's ready, Young Master. It's placed by the bedside," Old Yang said.

"Okay, you can continue with your work."

Gu Lan walked into the room, sat by the sickbed, and began to feed Lin Dan'er the medicine.
