In fact, before he spoke, Zhang Lan almost thought that even if this Gaya priest was not a descendant of Taoism, he was at least of the same clan, but the questioning and interrogation in his words made Zhang Lan alert.

Zhang Lan's thoughts changed sharply, but his expression remained unchanged. He neither showed panic nor retracted the surprise in his eyes. Instead, he changed his subject and pointed at the priest's cuff without looking sideways. gone."

"...Huh?" Priest Gaya didn't expect him to give such a reaction. He was dazed for a few seconds before he lowered his head and looked at his cuff. When he saw that there was indeed a crack, he put away the With questioning eyes, he smiled and said: "The fourth princess has good eyesight."

Zhang Lan said calmly, "Well, I have nothing to do and I'm leaving."

Priest Gaya lingered on him for a few more seconds, with an unpredictable expression, and finally said: "Go, Her Highness Aisha is waiting."

Walking away slowly, the slight tension in Zhang Lan's heart was relaxed, but at the same time, he was puzzled.When deliberately pointing out the flaws of the cuff, Zhang Lan took the opportunity to quickly observe the gossip mirror and water bowl in the hands of the priest, and found that there was no image of yin and yang in the gossip mirror, and the arrangement of the five mountains on the water bowl was even On the contrary, there doesn't seem to be any spiritual power flowing. Judging from Zhang Lan's eyes, these two objects are fakes at all.

He has never seen the ability of Priest Gaya, but Ji Haoguang has seen it. It is definitely not a Taoist technique. Since they are not of the same clan, this man and Ji Haoguang are both priests. Before they figured out their relationship, Zhang Lan thought he was the best It's better not to ask rashly, and there is no need to reveal the secret that you know Taoism.

While thinking about it, he walked towards the front hall, and arrived at his destination before he knew it. The empress was waiting for him there and prepared dinner.

Zhang Lan glanced at the dining table, and found that the shredded potatoes were still made with care, which was a bit ugly, but it was beyond expectations that the empress could prepare vegetarian food.

"The queen mother knows that you don't like nutritious meals, so she specially asked someone to make these. Would you like to try it?"

Under her expectant gaze, Zhang Lan took a bite. The taste was average and half-cooked, but he still said, "Yes, not bad."

Only then did the empress smile, and chatted with him while eating. The topic was nothing more than asking him about his studies and whether he was adapting to school life. After Zhang Lan answered them one by one, she slowly led the topic to what she wanted. direction.

"I heard that you have a good relationship with Ares recently, and you even went on honeymoon together."

Zhang Lan choked: "Honeymoon?"

"Didn't we go to Bellingham to watch the meteor shower together?"

Zhang Lan wanted to explain, but found that there seemed to be nothing to explain, and replied vaguely: "Hmm."

The empress's [-]-year-old girl's face showed a gratifying and loving smile that she didn't want to say: "I heard that you stayed there for a few days?"

"Well."

The empress looked at him ambiguously. According to her information, the two of them booked the best suite. Based on her understanding of her son, Ares knew all day long that the Yumu head killed by the mecha could think With such a romantic idea, the two must have made qualitative progress.

The empress chatted with Zhang Lan casually, and the topic was Ares. Seeing that he didn't show disgust or a little bit of impatience, but was listening carefully, she secretly mustered up the courage to tell her plan.

"Lan'er, you've been married for a while." The empress still smiled softly, but her tone was somewhat solemn, "Although it's a bit early to say this, the empress thinks it's almost time to prepare."

Zhang Lan realized that she was going to mention the "important matter" mentioned earlier, so she stopped eating and sat upright to listen.

The empress said slowly: "You can consider having children now."

Zhang Lan's eyelids twitched: "Child?"

"Yes, you are 32 years old now, and your body functions are just right. No matter which method of birth is the best time," the empress thought of something, her eyes were a little lonely, "I happened to be 35 years old when I was pregnant with Ares, but here I had three miscarriages before, so Ares is the fourth prince, not the eldest prince. It is true that the genes of our Gaya people are strong, but reproduction is relatively difficult, so most of them are born when they are 30-50 years old. Cultivating offspring, I called you back this time because I want the doctor to give you a comprehensive physical examination, and if possible, it’s time to start preparing.”

Zhang Lan never expected that when he returned to the palace this time, the empress would have such an idea.Naturally, he also thought about having offspring, but now his bodily functions—three streams of blood co-exist, are not in the best physical condition no matter how you look at it, not to mention listening to the empress, this comprehensive physical examination should be very good. In detail, if the secrets of his body are found out, I don't know what Ji Haoguang will do to himself who has exposed the secrets. Even if he can't find out, the offspring he bred will not be the best quality.

If you refuse directly, it will definitely attract inquiries from the empress. Based on the principle that one thing more is worse than one thing less, Zhang Lan pushed the problem to her son: "Sorry, I haven't reached an agreement with Ares on this issue yet. Opinion."

"However, the inspection can still be done..."

"If he doesn't agree, I won't do it." Zhang Lan replied confidently, "If I do, he will be angry. Code No. 30 of the Code of Couples, the two spouses must reach an agreement on the issue of offspring, otherwise it will be illegal."

Empress: ...

"Okay, okay, I'll communicate with him slowly." The empress seemed unwilling, but she understood Ares' temperament, and originally wanted to slowly persuade her son through Zhang Lan, but Zhang Lan didn't cooperate With a cold appearance and self-cultivation like her, it's not easy to force her.

After the meal, the Empress handed over a small, boxy, palm-sized package to Zhang Lan, saying that Ji Haoguang asked her to hand it over.

"It is said that it is a special product of your fairy poems. The queen mother doesn't know what it is, but it smells very fragrant and sweet."

When Zhang Lan took it, the corners of his mouth raised slightly unconsciously, and he couldn't wait to open it.

The empress insisted on sending him back to the Fourth Prince's Mansion, and naturally she kept lobbying him for a check-up. In the bedroom, the emperor and the empress failed to convince him even half of it.

Before parting, the empress asked casually, "I heard that Ares wants you to be his domain master?"

Zhang Lan shook his head. The empress thought he was going to deny it, but he said, "I want to be his domain master, and I don't want to. We have already decided to establish an alliance relationship after we get the qualification."

The empress paused for a moment: "Lan'er, I didn't say that we, Gaya, prefer to join forces with the strongest, rather than helping each other. Tennyson is actually more..."

Zhang Lan interrupted her calmly: "Aris is the strongest. Empress, don't you trust your son?"

The empress said anxiously: "The empress also believes in Ares, but..."

"That's enough." Zhang Lan looked at her indifferently, "I believe you are not a eccentric mother, so you naturally understand what is the most important reason for the difference in grades between the two of them."

As long as you are not blind, you can see the level difference of the mechs, and there is no way to escape the obvious fact.

The face of the empress who was accused of being "eccentric" suddenly flushed red.

Zhang Lan smiled at her and isolated her outside the bedroom.

When he came to Ares' room again, Zhang Lan had an inexplicable feeling of being a master. He walked around it like a king, and couldn't help thinking that Ares didn't seem to call him all day today, so he took the initiative to call. past.

To his surprise, Ares did not answer the ring tone for a long time, and when he called again, he heard the electronic prompt tone of "the user you dialed is not in the service area".

Thinking that the signal on the earth is indeed relatively poor, Zhang Lan gave up, turned off the bracelet, and picked up the small gift Ah Zheng gave him.

Carefully disassembled, the sweet smell came out, a small gray-green square cake was placed in the center of the box, very delicate and delicious, and there were two delicate spoons on the top - this It's a snack for two, which probably means to let him and Ares taste it together.

Zhang Lan couldn't help picking up a small spoon, digging a piece into his mouth, and immediately the fragrant bean fragrance filled his mouth, and the taste was so delicate that it melted in his mouth.Of course, there is a big gap with the ones he has eaten before. Ah Zheng put a little too much sugar, it was so sweet.

After taking a few mouthfuls, Zhang Lan stopped, intending to re-wrap it and put it away for Ares, but found a small note at the bottom. When he opened it, it was Ah Zheng's crooked handwriting.

"Your Highness, the Priest doesn't want me to go with you, but Ah Zheng misses you very much. Here is my contact information: XXXX, if Your Highness thinks the ancient mung bean cake is not bad, please do me a favor and let Ah Zheng hear your voice." .”

Zhang Lan couldn't help feeling amused, and immediately typed according to the string of symbols, only to hear the other party say "Hello" cautiously after connecting, and after hearing Zhang Lan's response, Ah Zheng screamed in surprise.

"Prince! Is the mung bean cake delicious? How is your life recently? Has His Highness the Fourth Prince bullied you?..."

He kept asking.It was rare for Zhang Lan to pick out a few answers patiently, and finally calmed down the child.

"By the way, Your Highness, I am now the tenth apprentice of Lord Priest."

Hearing this, Zhang Lan frowned: "Why did you get involved with him?"

"Master Priest said I was a good seed! So he accepted me as an apprentice," Ah Zheng said with some pride, "He also placed a blood contract on me, saying that only core disciples can sign a blood contract..."

"Blood contract?!"

"Well, Lord Priest let me drink his blood, it's amazing, it's cool..."

Zhang Lan was taken aback, Ji Haoguang is going to heaven!Do you want to put a blood curse on everyone? !Suddenly slightly angry: "Did he threaten you?"

"No, the priest is very strict with Ah Zheng, but it's okay, learning is a very difficult thing, and I'm just getting started, so this time the priest didn't take me with him when he went to Gaya, but only the first five disciples .”

Doesn't seem like a blood curse?

Zhang Lan was slightly relieved, and asked again: "What exactly is your master doing in Gaya?"

Ah Zheng paused for a while, seemed to be thinking, and said with some hesitation: "I heard that it is a very serious matter, and the master was reluctant to go, saying 'it will consume a lot of energy', and said that he would Getting old or something... That's right! It seems to be going to seal something, something... It's written in the book, by the way, it's called 'evil energy'! But I don't know what it is!"

Evil energy? !

Zhang Lan felt that this word was a bit familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere, but before he could recall it, Ah Zheng interrupted his thoughts by chirping:

"Your Highness, let me tell you a secret! The priest seems to be very, very old, far more than superficially young. He told me that as long as you follow him and study hard, you will be as young as him when you get old. Hee hee, When the time comes, I have learned the technique of retaining the face, so I will tell His Highness..."

Zhang Lan finished listening with a smile, but she was a little absent-minded, still wondering what evil energy is?

Before hanging up the phone, Zhang Lan kept an eye out and told Ah Zheng not to tell Ji Haoguang about his contact.

After finishing the phone call with Ah Zheng, he went to the star field to check the information about the priest.

It turned out that there was a reason why the status of a priest was so exalted.Thousands of years ago, people discovered that there was an unknown energy field in the air that could damage the body's genes, which could not be eliminated by many methods. This energy is sealed, so that the high-quality genes of human beings can continue to evolve better.Since then, the Priests Association has suddenly risen to a position comparable to military power, and this phenomenon has continued to this day.

After reading the introduction, Zhang Lan continued to check the evil energy, and found that it was just some conventional explanation, claiming that it was a kind of "devil magnetic field", nothing else.

Without finding any useful information, Zhang Lan exited the Star Domain, took a shower, and continued to wait for Ares's call. Daily calls have become a habit. Moreover, he did not see Ares with his own eyes. Drink your own medicine well, always feel uneasy.

But this day waited until late at night, and Ares never contacted him.

Could it be that there is some danger over there?

But with this thought, Zhang Lan shook his head. There was no reason. He just believed that even if Ares was in danger, he would definitely have... er, the ability to escape. Thick and durable type, how powerful the attack must be suffered to pose a threat to Ares in the mecha.

So, it should be the reason for the signal.

But Zhang Lan couldn't fall asleep, and was worried that Ares would send messages willfully in the middle of the night, so he simply sat cross-legged and silently performed the practice exercises he had memorized by heart.

As he thought, the aura on the satellite of the palace became several times stronger than before, and even more ideal than in his previous life. Even if his current tendons are damaged, he can still absorb the living beings in the air in an extremely small range. Slowly injected into his empty dantian Qi sea.

However, in the middle of the night, the spiritual energy suddenly became very unstable, like a strong wind passing through, sometimes strong and sometimes weak.
