The devil is below, I am the master

When Wen Ran heard this voice, his body froze, and when he looked up, he saw the crane coming out of the gate of Dark Moon Palace.

He Ming is Uyue's number one confidant, and can be regarded as the second in command of Dark Moon Palace. Seriously speaking, he is sometimes busier than Uyue.

So Wen Ran didn't expect him to come out in person.

Seeing Wen Ran standing there blankly without any response, He Ming approached with a sullen face, and said, "My lord hates outsiders hanging around the palace the most. If you have nothing to do, leave as soon as possible."

Wen Ran curled her lips secretly, Uzuki's feathered temper has not changed a bit for so many years.He just stayed at the door for a while, and he was about to be driven away.

But the eyes looking at Heming became colder and colder, he really didn't dare to provoke him.After all, Heming is famous in the fairy world for not being recognized by his relatives - except for Maoyue, the fairy court he presides over is even more severely punished.

Wen Ran thought for a while, a good man would not take advantage of the immediate disadvantages, and he was afraid that today would not be the right time to talk about marriage, so he ran away in despair without saying anything.

He Ming's eyes were quite dark, and he was sure that Wen Ran had really left, so he turned and went back to the hall.

It is said that Wen Ran went all the way back to Yuelao Pavilion, and as soon as he entered the courtyard, he couldn't wait to catch Qingfeng.Two days ago, he borrowed another mental method from Bai Zhe for him to stabilize his foundation, and now he is eager to know how his apprentice is doing on his own.

Qingfeng pointed in the direction of the Marriage Tree with his chin, and replied: "It's been a day, and I haven't left the land. Young master, I don't think he is going to be the master of the fairy world, but he is going to enter meditation and become a Buddha!"

Before Wen Ran secretly informed Qingfeng of the Heavenly Emperor's entrustment, although the other party was also very surprised, but after all, he was an old man from Yuelao Pavilion, so he naturally fully supported this matter.

Just at this time, Bai Zhe made a breakthrough in his cultivation, and Wen Ran received a prompt from the system——

[Apprentice has made some small achievements in mental cultivation, and the immortal grid has increased by ten grids. 】

Wen Ran knew that Bai Zhe was talented, but he didn't expect the progress to be faster than he imagined. He immediately pulled Qingfeng and said, "My apprentice is so smart and eager to learn. I am very pleased with my teacher. In order to encourage him, I decided to—"

Qingfeng's eyelids suddenly twitched.

"Cooking tonight!"

Immediately afterwards, Wen Ran rushed into the kitchen full of courage.

After an unknown amount of time, Bai Zhe, who had been practicing with his eyes closed, finally opened them.

And the direct reason why he stopped practicing is that the entire courtyard of Yuelao Pavilion has been filled with an indescribable smell since sometime.

He could tolerate it, but the strong smell had reached the point where he couldn't help suspecting that his Yue teacher might have been poisoned and fell to the ground.

Although he was not very interested in what Wen Ran did, but remembering that the Heavenly Emperor had been admonishing him thousands of times before, asking him to restrain his mind, follow Wen Ran well, and never fall into the devil's way again, so he got up and went to confirm.

The source of this smell is the kitchen of Yuelao Pavilion.

When Bai Zhe passed by, he saw Qingfeng coming out of the next room, with a sneaky expression and a white scarf covering his face.

Qingfeng was secretly happy that Wenran didn't pull him over to try it this time, when he turned around and saw Bai Zhe, he almost jumped up in fright.

Bai Zhe: "..."

Qingfeng: "Don't get me wrong, I didn't do anything bad."

Bai Zhe frowned slightly: "What is he doing?"

Qingfeng moved to the edge of the kitchen curtain, and said mysteriously: "You will know when he comes out."

As soon as the voice fell, Wen Ran inside heard a sudden "ow", opened the curtain and ran out.

There was also a plate of black things in his hand.

"It's out of the pot—!"

Qingfeng could smell the strange smell through the white scarf, and he couldn't help asking: "Master, what are you doing?"

Wen Ran raised the plate as if offering a treasure, "Fish! Have you ever eaten fried fish? This is a technique I learned from the human world."

After finishing speaking, he took the plate and went to find his apprentice.

"Apprentice, in order to reward your diligent cultivation, I specially made you a nourishing dish." He stared at Bai Zhe expectantly.

Bai Zhe glanced down at the contents of the plate, the whole body was black and the texture was hard, and he didn't know whether it was repaired or not, but there was a kind of air that would cool after eating from top to bottom, from beginning to end.

He looked at the huge crescent moon in the night sky, and said quietly: "Compared with its taste, I want to know more, what kind of fish can make you fry it for half a night without frying it?"

Speaking of this, Qingfeng also slapped his forehead: "That's right, young master, where did you get the fish from!"

Wen Ran lowered his voice and said, "Of course it's the overlord of the carp of the Koi Daxian! Apprentice——how am I treating you?"

Qingfeng's eyes immediately darkened: "It's over, Daxian's koi is worth grandma's money, if you let him know that you stole his cub... this month Yueyue Laoge will be unable to make ends meet again!"

Wen Ran gave him a push and said, "No! I specially asked the boy next to him to buy the human world variety with money, but after all, I soaked it in Yaochi, so the taste must be unusual."

Qingfeng stared at the mysterious object on the plate without saying a word, and murmured: "It's really not ordinary."

Wen Ran was anxious to let the apprentice taste it first, but suddenly remembered that he didn't have the chopsticks, so he ran back to get the chopsticks.

The three of them sat down at the table in the living room.

Wen Ran picked up the chopsticks and wanted to help his apprentice catch the fish, but after poking for a long time, he didn't move at all.

Xiaoyuelao finally realized that something was wrong with his cooking.

Desperately wanting his apprentice to eat the dishes he cooked, Wen Ran tried his best to fork——

In an instant, the fish flew away.

Seeing the mysterious object draw a perfect arc in the air, and then landed with a crisp sound.

Wen Ran felt that her heart was about to break.

"There is still a chance in the future, there will be a chance in the future!" Qingfeng finally coaxed him back to his room to sleep.

Holding the frozen fried fish in his hand, Qingfeng suddenly had an idea: "It happens that I will buy new accessories next month, why not keep this fish as a decoration!"

Seeing him happily carrying the fried fish back to his room for processing, Bai Zhe suddenly felt tired.

The next morning, Wen Ran got up early.

Although yesterday was unfavorable, the task entrusted by the Emperor of Heaven still had to be completed, Wen Ran decided to cheer up and go to the Dark Moon Palace again.

By the way, he also brought his own apprentice to strengthen his courage.

When he was about to go out, he happened to catch a glimpse of a dark thing hanging in the yard. After looking at it for a long time, he realized that it wasn't the fried fish he made yesterday.

"Qingfeng! What are you doing?" He asked strangely.

Qingfeng opened the curtain and came out: "Have you heard of dried salted fish? It's still in the drying stage."

Wen Ran: "..."

Due to time constraints, Wen Ran didn't have time to study the dried fish anymore, so she had to take Bai Zhe to the Dark Moon Palace first.

Today's Dark Moon Palace is still deserted.

Wen Ran pointed to the plaque above and introduced: "This is the Dark Moon Palace, and it and the Divine Fire Palace are the two largest forces in the inner court."

Just as he was talking, He Ming, who had appeared yesterday, reappeared at the door.

He Ming first looked at Wen Ran, and then shifted his gaze to Bai Zhe who was beside him, "The Lord is already waiting for you, go in quickly."

The two entered the yard together with Heming.

Because there is a fairy Furong who specializes in gardening flowers and plants under the command of Dark Moon Palace, the whole palace is very elegantly dressed.It's not as colorful as Shenhuo Palace, but it has its own sense of tranquility.

Wen Ran looked at the piece of jade hibiscus that was in full bloom, and was about to cry.

He Ming turned around and glanced at him impatiently: "Don't keep the Lord waiting."

In the main hall of the Dark Moon Palace at this time.

As soon as you enter, you can smell a faint fragrance from the burning incense burner.

Quiet, deep, with traces of holiness, just like the feeling of moonlight quietly shining in the courtyard.

Looking along the source of the incense, the hall is facing a soft couch, on which is leaning on a beautiful woman in snow clothes, with a cold appearance.

The loose silver long hair was gently tied at the end of the hair, just like a piece of beautiful jade, shining in the moonlight, exuding a faint brilliance.

This is Uzuki, the master of Dark Moon Palace.

Uzuki seems to be in a bad mood, holding a book lightly with her slender fingers, but with a lazy expression.

"coming?"

Seeing that the other party spoke first, Wen Ran took advantage of the opportunity to explain the purpose of coming straight to the point.

He came here to find out Maoyue's thoughts on Princess Tianlan's marriage selection.

Uzuki put her eyes on Bai Zhe who was standing behind Wen Ran: "Who is this person?"

Wen Ran was stunned for a moment before replying, "This is my new apprentice, Bai Zhe."

Uzuki frowned, with a bit of disbelief in his eyes.

Wen Ran: "..." Your eyes are too obvious, okay?

Why can't we accept apprentices when we are old? !

But Uzuki's attention was soon diverted elsewhere.

After learning that this person was named Bai Zhe, Uzuki was actually taken aback, pressed her fingers tightly on the scroll, but didn't show it on the face.

He also had little interest in the matter of Princess Tianlan, and said bluntly: "Why do you come to ask me about this kind of thing?"

Wen Ran said innocently: "This is not to consider your thoughts, this month is still very open-minded, okay?"

Uzuki pressed the center of her eyebrows, feeling a bit of a headache, "I think you came to me after failing at Yanfei's place?"

Wen Xiaoran insisted on not admitting that he had just played a set of "Tai Chi" with Yan Fei yesterday: "You should express your opinion anyway, is it interesting to others..."

Seeing that Maoyue's complexion was not good, Heming leaned over to ask.

In the end, he simply raised his hand to drive Wen Ran and the others out.

He Ming is used to catching Wen Ran like a kitten, but this time unfortunately——

As soon as his hand reached out to Wen Ran, Bai Zhe who suddenly came over stopped him.

He Ming saw that he was a mere half-immortal and dared to confront him, so he couldn't help but sneered, "You can't do what you can!"

"He Ming."

Fortunately, Maoyue is still clear, he knows that Heming is eager to protect the Lord, but there is no need to do so, so he finds a step and tells Heming to stop.

Taking advantage of the situation, he also sent someone to stuff a box of dried fruit for Wen Ran.

Wen Ran was holding the big gift box blankly, with many question marks in her heart.

Why is he being fed wherever he goes now?

He is Yuelao, not the God of Cookery, okay?

Wen Ran could see that Maoyue didn't have any thoughts about Princess Tianlan's affairs, so she went down the donkey and took Bai Zhe back to Yuelao Pavilion first.

Holding the gift box and leaving the Dark Moon Palace, Wen Ran recalled the scene when his apprentice defended himself just now, and was both moved and sad: "Apprentice, don't confront that He Ming in the future, that guy is not easy to mess with."

Although I don't want to admit it, I still have to face the reality: "We can't beat them QAQ."

Wen Ran felt aggrieved and turned around holding the gift box.

Bai Zhe, who was behind him, turned around and took another look at the "Dark Moon Palace" plaque hanging quietly on it.

……

Wen Ran went into her yard, but Qingfeng was not there, and the dried fried fish that was still hanging in the yard before going out also fell to the ground.

He inexplicably felt a little distressed, and ran over to pick it up.

"Why isn't Qingfeng here?" He walked around the yard but didn't find him.

It was Bai Zhe who found a note left by Qingfeng on the table in the living room, which said that he was captured by the Koi Daxian to help feed the fish, and he reminded Bai Zhe to help coax some Wen Ran before he came back from the Dark Moon Palace It must be full of anger, maybe I came back with a box of snacks.And the people from Shenhuo Temple sent a pot of jade hibiscus, which was already placed in the yard.

Although Qingfeng was a bit rambling, he cared a lot for Wen Ran between the lines, and he had long thought that Bai Zhe must have found the note first.

Bai Zhe took the note and informed Wen Ran.

Wen Ran touched the fried fish in his bosom, and said to himself that the koi celestial probably found the lack of fish, but he bought it with money, and it's just pity for Qingfeng.

When he comes back, he will make up for it with a meal.

Sitting in the living room with her chin in her hands, and the box of dried fruit that Uzuki gave her in hand, Wen Ran felt that her trip today was no different from being shut out.

Unexpectedly, the two camps robbed Princess Tianlan for a long time, but the two rightful masters who participated in the selection of relatives did not cooperate at all.

What is this called?

"The emperor is not in a hurry and the eunuch is in a hurry."

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, Wen Ran opened the gift box with a bang, opened a pack of pine nuts, and started knocking hard.

Immediately, there was a crisp sound of "click, click" in the living room.

Just as Bai Zhe went to the yard to help him bring the jade lotus over, when he entered the room, he saw Wen Ran sitting there like a squirrel, eating pine nuts.

Seeing Bai Zhe approaching, Wen Ran threw a handful of pine nuts to him, "Maoyue gave it to him, if you don't eat it for free, don't eat it!"

After finishing speaking, he gritted his teeth and grabbed a handful of crushed pine nuts and poured them all into his mouth.

After eating, he looked at the jade hibiscus sent by Yan Fei.

It's better for Yan Fei to treat him well!Although he is not very honest about the choice of relatives.

This jade hibiscus is pure white in color, with a faint fragrance, and it looks best when it is placed under the moonlight.

However, Wen Ran didn't even have the mood to enjoy the flowers.

Both sides have no clue, isn't this going to smash the signboard of Master Yuelao Pavilion?

Wen Ran started knocking on the pine nuts again, which at least relieved his anxiety.

Seeing him eating more and more, a large pine nut shell was already spread on the table, Bai Zhe, who had been standing by the side, remembered the note left by Qingfeng.

"Don't eat." He didn't know how to comfort others, after thinking about it, he just said this dryly.

Wen Ran was in a fit of anger, so naturally he refused to listen, and kept talking nonchalantly.

Bai Zhe directly clasped the bag containing the pine nuts, raised his hand up, and naturally the sitting Wen Ran couldn't reach it.

In a moment of anxiety, Wen Ran stretched out his hand to reach for it forcefully, but knocked off the dried fish and stepped on it.

I don't know what Qingfeng smeared on the fish last night, but now it is slippery. The moment Wen Ran stepped on it, she leaned forward and immediately rushed towards the apprentice in front of her.

Bai Zhe could have dodged backwards, but in just a moment, he thought of something, and he stopped in desperation.

So Wen Ran fell into the opponent's arms, taking advantage of the situation to push him down.

Bai Zhe pushed his palm, although he was still brought to the ground, but with the cushion, it didn't hurt.

Wen Ran's face bumped into Bai Zhe's solid chest.

The hem and sleeves of the two were also entangled immediately.

Wen Ran touched the tip of his nose in pain, and it hurt a little when he bumped into something hard.

Suddenly heard a prompt:

[Apprentice Moge increased by ten. 】

Wen Ran:? ? ?

Just when Wen Ran was at a loss, Qingfeng just came back, opened the door and said: "I'm back——"

"..." Qingfeng looked at the two people stacked together on the ground, and the entangled clothes, his throat suddenly choked up, and it took two seconds to swallow the word "了".

Wen Ran was still obsessed with the "magic grid" that suddenly appeared, and didn't notice that he and Bai Zhe were still maintaining the posture just now, until the body suddenly lightened.

He was picked up straight by Bai Zhe, and then he was placed on the ground to stand upright, and then he blushed belatedly.

Qingfeng was almost blind.

"You two, master and apprentice, actually take advantage of my absence—"

Bai Zheyin's red eyes shot a glance coldly, and Qingfeng shut his mouth instantly.

The author has something to say: Wen Ran looked at the fork in his hand and the fish flying out, and a doubt arose in his heart——

Wasn't I called Runtu in my previous life?
