In the next room.
Neither Li Jun nor Jin Hao said a word.
Just sitting there.
A while later.
Jin Hao spoke softly, "Brother Taoist..."
Li Jun raised her head and looked at him.
His face was expressionless and very calm.
"What's wrong?"
Jin Hao opened his mouth, as if to say something, but then swallowed it back.
In the end, he just shook his head.
"fine."
Li Jun looked at him and remained silent for a few seconds.
Then he stood up.
Are you hungry?
"I'll go to the kitchen and see what we have to eat."
Jin Hao was stunned for a moment, then quickly stood up.
"I'll go with you!"
The two left the room and headed towards the kitchen.
As Li Jun passed the entrance to the main house, he paused for a moment.
The door was closed.
There was no sound inside.
He looked away and continued walking forward.
……
at the same time.
South City, Night Watch Division.
Liu Zhenguo sat in his office and dialed President Qin's number.
The phone rang twice, and then it was answered.
"President Qin."
Liu Zhenguo's voice was tired, but also relaxed.
"Master Li has safely returned to Qingfeng Temple, and the robes of Senior Xuanzhen have also been successfully retrieved."
On the other end of the phone, President Qin visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay, okay, okay."
He said "good" three times in a row.
"Zhenguo, thank you for your hard work on this trip."
Liu Zhenguo said, "It's no trouble at all, it's what I should do."
President Qin remained silent for a few seconds.
Then he spoke, his tone tinged with emotion:
"This trip to Kunlun has caused quite a stir..."
Liu Zhenguo did not respond.
He knew what President Qin was referring to.
Xiao Rizi was expelled from the human race.
The entire planet Earth is now trying to curry favor with Great Xia.
And all of this...
It was all because of the sword strike Master Li made in Kunlun.
"By the way," President Qin changed the subject, "how is Master Li's condition?"
Liu Zhenguo thought for a moment.
"Good."
"Well... my emotions have been a bit turbulent since we came back from Yuzhu Peak."
"After all, it's only natural for a person to go and receive the robes of their own advisor."
President Qin hummed in agreement.
"understood."
"Zhenguo, the day after tomorrow morning, the head of the Maoshan Qingwei Sect and Zhang Tianshi of Longhu Mountain will arrive in Nancheng."
"You will be responsible for receiving them and, on behalf of the Night Watch, accompany them to Qingfeng Temple to pay respects to Senior Xuanzhen."
Liu Zhenguo felt a chill run down his spine.
The leader of the Maoshan sect.
The Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain.
Two of the leading figures in Taoism today have come in person.
He quickly replied, "Yes! I'll make sure everything is arranged!"
President Qin added, "The scale should be high, but not ostentatious."
"Master Li prefers peace and quiet, so we shouldn't disturb his meditation."
Liu Zhenguo nodded: "Understood."
The phone hangs up.
Liu Zhenguo leaned back in his chair and let out a long sigh.
……
Night Watch headquarters.
President Qin put down the phone and leaned back in his chair.
It was as if a huge burden had been lifted off my shoulders.
He closed his eyes and rested for a few seconds.
Then I opened my eyes and looked out the window.
Outside the window is the city's night view, brightly lit.
Master Li's trip to Kunlun has come to a successful conclusion.
The promotion of spiritual practices is also progressing in an orderly manner.
Some middle schools have already started the new semester, and the "Basic Qi Refining Techniques" have been officially incorporated into the teaching system.
The small-scale rollout to the general public in some pilot cities has also generated a tremendous response.
The entire Great Xia was thriving.
The future is expected.
A smile appeared on President Qin's face.
Just then, there was a gentle knock on the office door.
"Enter."
The secretary pushed open the door and came in. "Mr. Qin, it's almost time."
"Oh, by the way, any new information from the observatory?"
President Qin nodded, then suddenly remembered the observatory's report on New Year's Eve.
Uranus and Neptune are shifting their orbits and getting closer to Earth.
The secretary opened the folder in her hand and quickly searched for:
"Mr. Qin, the observatory says that Uranus and Neptune haven't shown any unusual activity recently."
"All data remain within the range of that on New Year's Eve."
"but……"
The secretary paused.
"But what?"
"Some researchers speculate that Uranus and Neptune may still be moving toward the blue planet."
The secretary said, "However, the movement is very small and their volume is shrinking, so there are no significant changes."
"But this is just speculation at the moment, and there is no evidence to support it."
After listening, President Qin nodded.
"Keep an eye on it."
"Yes."
The secretary closed the folder.
But they did not leave immediately.
President Qin glanced at him.
"Is there anything else?"
The secretary hesitated for a moment.
"President Qin, there's been some trouble in Miao territory..."
President Qin frowned.
"What's going on?"
"Chief Lan has been frequently visiting other chieftains these past two days," the secretary said. "During this time, several unpleasant incidents have occurred."
"Several chieftains were beaten and hospitalized by Chief Lan."
President Qin was taken aback upon hearing this.
He then slammed his hand on the table.
"What is Lan Cailing up to now?"
"Can't things even stop this during the Lunar New Year?"
Seeing him get angry, the secretary quickly added:
"President Qin, the specifics are not clear yet, but..."
"On the seventh day of the month, Lan Nianzhen took Yin Jian back to Ling Gu Dong."
"It seems like they should be preparing for the wedding."
After listening, President Qin remained silent for a moment, and the anger on his face gradually subsided.
"Marriage..."
"Lan Cailing is going all out."
The secretary did not respond.
President Qin remained silent for a while, then waved his hand.
"Okay, I understand."
"You can go out now."
The secretary nodded and left.
The office door closed gently.
President Qin leaned back in his chair, staring at the ceiling.
The situation of the Miao witchcraft lineage is rather unique...
Lan Cailing is really willing to go to any lengths for her daughter.
However, that's just her style.
President Qin shook his head and stopped thinking about it.
He closed his eyes, preparing to rest for a while.
……
Qingfeng Temple.
In the kitchen.
Li Jun boiled water, put in two pieces of bread, added two poached eggs, and sprinkled some chopped green onions.
Jin Hao sat on a small stool by the stove, watching Li Jun busy himself.
"Brother Taoist priest, you can cook?"
Li Jun didn't even turn his head.
"It's just cooking instant noodles, anyone can do that."
Jin Hao chuckled twice.
The noodles are cooked.
The two of them sat at a small table in the kitchen, each holding a bowl.
Steaming hot.
Jin Hao slurped up a mouthful of noodles and looked up at Li Jun.
"Brother Taoist, I'll go see those five gentlemen tomorrow too."
Li Jun thought about it.
"Okay, then we'll go there in the morning and treat them to lunch."
Jin Hao nodded.
"Okay."
The two continued eating noodles.
The only sound in the kitchen was the slurping of noodles.
After finishing the noodles, Jin Hao helped wash the dishes.
Then he checked the time and stood up.
"Brother Taoist, I'm going back now."
I'll pick you up tomorrow morning.
Li Jun nodded.
"Drive carefully."
Jin Hao responded and left the kitchen.
Li Jun escorted him to the gate of the courtyard.
Watching his figure disappear into the night.
Li Jun turned around and walked back.
He stopped as he passed the main house.
The door remained closed.
There was no sound inside.
Li Jun stood there for a few seconds.
Then, he gently pushed the door open.
In the room.
The master sat on a stool next to the offering table.
With his back to the door.
Not moving at all.
Li Jun did not go in.
He simply stood at the doorway, watching his master's retreating figure.
After looking at it for a few seconds, he quietly closed the door and turned to go back to his room.
The person Master was waiting for has finally returned.
