The small tree in the flowerpot stretched out its branches and leaves, pulled out its roots, and turned into a handsome scholar.

"That's me, isn't it all right? Let's have a meal. You came early. Why don't you sit and stand?"

Saying so, Master Qingmu casually dismissed the student who brought Yang Zhao over, summoned a teapot and handed it to her, and put some tea in it.

"Try it, this is the tea I roasted with my own leaves, it's a good thing."

"Thank you, real man."

Yang Zhao took the teapot with both hands, the tea was still hot.

She thanked repeatedly and poured tea for herself and Masato Aoki.

Master Aoki curled his lips: "Drink it yourself, I don't like to drink this stuff, I always feel like I'm drinking my own bath water."

The teacup that Yang Zhao had brought to his mouth suddenly froze, not knowing whether to put it down or take a sip.

Seeing her reaction, Aoki really laughed.

"Drink it, my leaf is indeed a good thing for you juniors in the foundation building period. It can calm your mind and calm your mind. Drinking it often has the effect of forging your body."

"After drinking this cup of tea, I guarantee that you can practice with half the effort today."

Yang Zhao cracked his mouth and smiled dryly, and poured the tea around his mouth into it.

As soon as the water is in the mouth, a faint bitter taste fills the mouth. The tea has no astringent taste, and the lips and teeth feel fresh after swallowing.

But Yang Zhao, who is calm and restrained, has reservations.

Aoki Masato sat on the chair, grabbed a handful of small beetles from his sleeve, and threw them into his mouth one by one like eating melon seeds.

"You have also been followed. Lijing has been doing something for the past few days. People say that you are being followed every day."

Yang Zhao quickly put down the tea: "That should be me, I'm just a little rookie in cultivation."

Master Aoki paused the movements in Wenyan's hands, and looked at Yang Zhao with a little bit of puzzlement in his eyes.

"Ah, don't you call me Xiaocaiji?"

"Ah... ha... um... I just started casually."

Yang Zhao raised his teacup in embarrassment, and took another sip.

Real Aoki saw her uneasiness, and resumed the rhythm of eating melon seeds.

"Tell me, how did you get into trouble?"

There is nothing to hide about this matter, so she told the details of what happened a few days ago.

"Whether you have a close relationship with that Liu Sheng, you can find out by asking Liu Sheng's neighbors for two silver coins."

After she finished speaking, the handful of small beetles in Aoki's hands were almost eaten.

"Seeing how they are so attached to you, they probably came here for you. The reason why you didn't come out to meet you no matter how much you called them, probably didn't have any good intentions. I guess it was to go out of the city to block you."

"If I let you meet and report to the Yamen at that time, they will have concerns about making a move."

Yang Zhao nodded silently, she felt the same way.

Aoki Masato took out another handful of hairless soft bugs from his sleeve, it was as sweet as eating QQ fudge.

"Then why didn't you leave when you went to Linghu Xiaozhu a few days ago, that day is the best time to leave, and they will be caught off guard."

Yang Zhao didn't hide it either, buying pills was nothing shameful.

"Senior doesn't know, this junior came to Beijing this time to ask the alchemist to practice this batch of elixir. The elixir hadn't been practiced the day it went to Linghu Xiaozhu. If I leave early, I won't be able to receive it. Even if the alchemy is received, the alchemist will not be able to receive the rest of the money."

"And I'm afraid that they've already set up manpower at the gate of the city, waiting for me to leave Beijing."

Although Lijing is a land of all kinds of benevolence, there are also many beggars and idlers, and it would not cost much money to let them guard the city gate with their portraits for a day.

"You are right in thinking. The reward I want to escort you out of Beijing this time is to let my students see Sujin Pagoda once, you know."

After eating a handful of hairless soft worms, Master Aoki took out a handful of colorful chrysalis and ate them.

Yang Zhao couldn't control his eyes and wanted to stare at the handful of bugs. He felt that it was too impolite, so he moved his eyes away forcefully.

"Yes, Zong Yan has already told me, but he didn't say how many people he will bring."

"I heard the master from the Yunzhou Prefecture School boast that the children you introduced to the Sujin Pagoda had higher numbers of pagodas. I don't know if it's true or not."

"Are you drinking tea? Why do you want to taste this little snack in my hand?" Seeing the curiosity in Yang Zhao's eyes, Master Aoki wanted to dig out his pocket again.

"Ah, no, I only eat cooked worms, I don't eat this kind of live ones."

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Yang Zhao wished he could slap himself both.

This is really dare to say anything!
"Then how can life be sweet? You humans don't know how to enjoy it. I'll find you something that everyone can eat, and you can eat it with tea."

Master Aoki dug out a handful of meat worms from his sleeve, fired a small fireball and roasted the worms fragrant, and then used his spiritual power to find a small plate in the room, put the roasted meat worms on it and handed it to the Yang Zhao.

The whole process takes less than ten seconds, and the main point is that it is fast and convenient.

"Try it, my skill of cooking insects is the best in the government school."

Looking at the expression on Master Aoki's face, Yang Zhao couldn't utter the words of refusal, so he could only take the small dish with a stiff smile.

She didn't expect that Master Aoki's movements would be so fast, he was stunned and forgot to stop him for a few seconds.

She came here to beg for help, and she couldn't disappoint the other party's kindness just because of a plate of worms.

"Senior Aoki, you are really too polite."

Facing the other party's impolite gaze, Yang Zhao picked the smallest familiar worm and put it in his mouth.

Huh, it actually tastes like seafood, but the meat is a bit soft, but it's still delicious.

The expression on Yang Zhao's face became natural.

"Is it delicious? This kind of insect is hard to find now. This is the insect seedling I found in Junzhou Lake, and I raised it myself."

Seeing Yang Zhao's appearance, Master Aoki looked proud.

"There are only ten of us entering the Sujin Pagoda this time. I will take these ten students to Chanzhou Prefecture to study with you, just to exchange feelings with the students there."

Swallowing the meat residue in his mouth, Yang Zhao took a sip from his teacup.

"Senior Aoki, when we leave the city, can you please walk with me in tandem?"

Masato Aoki summoned a small water polo and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Why, do you want to lure out Xiao Xiao? Are you not afraid of an accident?"

"I'm afraid, but there are only those who can be thieves for a thousand days, and there is no one who can guard against thieves for a thousand days. How can I know who I have offended, so as to save myself from worrying every day."

Yang Zhao's eyes were determined: "If I go with my senior, the other party will not dare to act rashly with the name of Lijing School."

"Sure enough, he is someone who has fought against Jin Danqi of the Sujin clan in the Grand Competition, so he speaks with confidence."

Master Aoki summoned another water polo to wash his hands, and threw the water polo into the flower pot in the corner after washing his hands.

"Okay, when the time comes, I will protect you before you leave and after I leave."

Yang Zhao: "Thank you, Senior Aoki, for not thinking of me as troublesome. When someone comes, I will throw a big fireball into the sky."

"Fireball is so troublesome." Aoki Masato took out a small green carapace bug from his sleeve and put it on the table.

"You take the green beetle with you when you walk in front. If you encounter danger, it will contact me by itself."

The green beetle shook its long tentacles, crawled straight towards Yang Zhao, and then flew to Yang Zhao's shoulder and lay still.

"When are you going to leave?"

Yang Zhao glanced at the green beetle on his shoulder.

"Of course, this is to see the itinerary of the seniors. You can go anytime you want."

"Hurry up sooner or later, let's do it tomorrow."

Masato Aoki made a decision on the spot.

"You go out from Dongcheng tomorrow morning, and I will follow you. Don't be afraid. If you are in the foundation building period, it will be good if the other party pays attention to you and send a golden core. You have experience in dealing with golden cores."

"Then should I rent a spirit beast for transportation?"

According to her past habits, Yang Zhao rented spirit beasts when traveling long distances, but now she was a little hesitant about this matter, mainly because she was afraid that the spirit beasts would harm Chiyu.

"No need, since you want to lure the snake out of the hole, do it thoroughly."

After the two discussed the matter, Yang Zhao said goodbye to Aoki.

Before leaving, Master Aoki enthusiastically stuffed her with a big bag of tea.

"If you drink it for a month, you will know the benefits."

Yang Zhao waved his hand to refuse.

"Senior Aoki, you can keep such a good thing for yourself, you really don't have to be so polite."

Master Aoki forcefully stuffed the tea into her bosom.

"This is my reward for you. If my ten students want to enter the Sujin Pagoda, how can they enter for nothing?"

Yang Zhao: "Yes, we clearly agreed..."

Master Aoki smiled slyly: "Bribe you first, if these ten students of mine have achieved good results in Sujin Pagoda, then I, as a teacher, can't favor one over another, and other students will also trouble you."

"Don't worry, when the time comes, I'll let them take the silver. If you don't want the silver, you can take Lingzhi. Anyway, it won't make you suffer."

Yang Zhao had a good teacher's heart, so he couldn't refuse, so he walked out of the school with tea leaves in his arms.

In the early morning of the second day, Yang Zhao asked the younger brother to find a woman who can dress up, and asked her to dress herself up with the pair of pearl and coral jewelry. Then, wearing the newly bought dress, she checked out of the inn and rented a A beast cart went straight to the east gate.

She had just left the city gate, when the green beetle on her shoulder spoke the voice of Master Aoki.

"Go at ease, I will follow behind you."

"Senior Qingmu, I have never been to the Chanzhou capital, which direction are you going now?"

"Just turn to the left and fly straight."

Looking at the bustling crowd at the city gate, Yang Zhao flew into the sky with a wave of his sleeves.

Just a few hundred meters after flying out, the feeling of being followed hit my heart again.

She checked up, down, left, and right, but found nothing eye-catching.

The green beetle cleans its wings with its hind feet.

"Don't come, you are so close to the city gate now, they won't mess around here."

Yang Zhao nodded, and continued to fly forward with the green beetle.
