Chapter 279 Secret Return to the Capital, Suburban Academy
Wenwen caught up with Wen Chengjian and the others, and the group walked together toward the back mountain.
Wen Chengbin asked everyone mysteriously, "Guess what, will we set off tonight?"
Wen Chengjian refused the game and asked him in return, "Have you prepared something delicious for Brother Eagle?"
Wenwen: "Yes, Second Brother, Brother Eagle has a big appetite, you need to prepare more food for him."
Wen Chengxi: "Second Brother, how much does Brother Ying eat in one meal?"
Wen Chengbin: "Second brother, is it difficult for eldest brother to raise an eagle?"
Wen Chengbin...
What kind of questions are these?
He's really his good brother/sister.
These people are very good at bringing up sensitive topics.
Did this hit a nerve?
Speaking of which, the number of demonic beasts he hunted in the mountains had already been consumed by the eagles in just a few days. He was afraid that they would run out before he could restock, and what would happen if his eagle brother got angry? He also wondered if his eagle brother could get used to the food of the mortal world.
The siblings discussed the eagle's diet all the way here, and arrived at the reading room before reaching a conclusion.
Wen Yuanqian called to the younger generation, "You guys hurry up and come inside."
The people inside the room had calm expressions, seemingly just exchanging pleasantries, which was a bit hard to understand.
Wenwen blinked her big eyes and looked at Wen Yuanqian suspiciously, but she didn't dare to speak.
Wen Yuanqian noticed their confusion and, without keeping them in suspense, said directly, "Listen up, all of you. This matter is of great importance. What I'm about to tell you is... That's how it is. Alright, eldest brother, second brother, eldest son, and Wen'er, you all pack up and get going."
Wen Chengbin was surprised not to hear his grandfather mention him. He was about to raise his hand to ask a question when Wen Yuanqian beat him to it, "Second Brother, how many people can a Cangying carry in one trip?"
"Huh? Oh... eight or nine, what's wrong?" Wen Chengbin answered honestly.
"Take your Uncle Ye and your grandmaster with you."
"Oh...and what about me?"
Upon hearing this question, Wen Yuanqian glared at him. "What do you think? If you don't go, who will Cangying listen to? You bastard, have you lost your head? Did you forget to bring it?"
Wen Chengbin shrank his neck, realizing he had been scolded by his grandfather for no reason. It turned out his grandfather had been holding back his anger, and he had just gotten himself into the crossfire. It was true, he was both made and broken by the eagle. What had he done to deserve this? Humph, he was going to cut back on Eagle Brother's food.
"Okay, I know. I've prepared some good food for it. Don't worry, Grandpa."
On a clear, moonlit night, the group rode on the back of an eagle, heading towards the capital.
Uncle Ye is currently at the third level of Qi Refining, and has been stuck at this level for more than half a year.
As for our grandmaster, he truly lives up to his reputation of being young at heart despite his age. After spending so much time in the valley, he actually broke through to the second level of Qi Refining. At over sixty years old, he successfully stepped into the world of cultivators, making him a role model for the elderly.
The two men were sitting on the back of an eagle, feeling excited. It was the first time they had experienced the rushing wind high in the sky, so unrestrained and exuberant. They had never had such an opportunity in their lives before.
At this moment, the grandmaster was wide-eyed, laughing heartily, as curious as a child, turning his head from left to right, almost standing up to clap his hands in delight.
Such a lively grandmaster made Wen Qilin and Wen Qiyuan, who were protecting him on both sides, extremely nervous. They were afraid that their grandmaster might accidentally fall from the sky, and then what would happen to them... They dared not imagine it. The two were too embarrassed to call out or say anything, and their expressions were as awkward as if they had eaten a pile of shit.
Ye Jingchuan, who was sitting behind them, had no choice but to speak up.
"Grandmaster, be quiet, or you'll fall down and that would be a real pain."
"Grandmaster, shut your mouth. With such a strong wind blowing in, don't let it get on Brother Eagle's back."
"Be careful, Brother Eagle might throw you down, or you'll still fall."
"Grandmaster..."
The old master, Old Rascal, wasn't annoyed by his disciple's teasing. "Alright, alright, you little brat, I'll listen to you. Okay? I'll shut up, and you shut up too."
"Hehehe..."
Listening to the banter between the master and apprentice, the others were quite amused, and even Brother Eagle called out to them several times.
After a night of flying, just before dawn, the group landed on a hilltop a few dozen miles outside Beijing.
Ye Jingchuan and his apprentice parted ways with the Wen family here.
The grandmaster said to Wen Qilin, "Nephew, you go ahead and find people to help you. We'll meet at the temple in a few days, shall we?"
Ye Jingchuan also said, "Brother Wen, brother-in-law, nephews, it's inconvenient for my master and me to go into the city with you this time, so let's split up and go our separate ways. We'll meet at the temple later."
"it is good."
Watching Uncle Ye and his apprentice walk away, Wenwen asked, "Daddy, where are we going next?"
Wen Qilin glanced at everyone and said, "Second brother, you take Erlang to find those people first. I'll go to the academy in the outskirts of the capital first, and come find you in two or three days. Wen'er, I'll take you to find your maternal grandfather."
Before setting off, everyone tidied themselves up, changing clothes and grooming as needed.
Wen Qiyuan disguised himself as a warrior and, with his tall and strong son, went to join the army.
Wen Qilin disguised himself as a wealthy old man and, accompanied by two handsome young men, went to the academy to study.
After checking each other and confirming that nothing was missing, the five people split into two teams and got busy with their own tasks.
After daybreak, Wen Qilin and his two sons traveled by carriage to the academy on the outskirts of the capital.
The academy is located on a beautiful mountain outside the capital, not far from the city, less than an hour's journey by carriage.
When they arrived at the academy gate, they happened to see a number of teachers and students coming from the capital to the academy.
The academy on the outskirts of the capital was a noble academy of the Zhongzhao Kingdom. Its students included the sons of powerful and wealthy families in the capital as well as the young masters of wealthy families in the surrounding area. Therefore, parents who brought their children to enroll would often wait at the gate, or students who were waiting to become disciples of a famous Confucian scholar would seek an audience with him.
Today, a carriage was parked outside the academy. The carriage did not look very wealthy, but the horses pulling it were very spirited, which made passers-by turn around frequently and exchange a few words with the people sitting in the carriage.
"Master, those two horses by the gate look very spirited. Would you like to take a look?"
"Young master, look at those two horses over there, they're gorgeous, just your type!"
"Hey, look at that horse! It looks so different. Compared to it, mine looks like a pile of poop..."
Wenwen...
She heard everything everyone said, but she couldn't tell them that these two horses ate food from the space, drank water from the space, and breathed the spiritual energy of the space. Of course, they were different from ordinary horses. You guys have good taste.
"Wen'er, Dalang, your maternal grandfather's carriage has arrived."
One sentence brought Wenwen back to her senses.
A carriage bearing the Ren family's insignia was seen approaching the academy.
