Chapter 161

Lin Qingyue took a white jade hairpin from her sleeve and pinned it in Hong Yao's hair.

"This hairpin is one you liked before, so I got it back for you. It really looks good on you."

"Hong Yao, I don't lack people to serve me. You have skills; making you a maid who serves tea and water is a waste of talent."

"If you are willing, I can recommend you to the Xuanjing Division, which can be considered a proper path."

Hong Yao couldn't believe it after hearing this: "I... can I? But I, I have committed crimes before..."

Lin Qingyue smiled: "It's true you committed crimes, but you have made contributions repeatedly, and the Crown Prince has personally said that merits and demerits are offset, so you won't be treated differently."

Hong Yao was moved to tears and knelt down to kowtow: "Thank you, thank you, Miss!"

Lin Qingyue smiled slightly: "From now on, you should call me Deputy Envoy Lin."

On the day Hong Yao was chased and fled to the Seventh Street, she could have continued to hide and find an opportunity to escape. But in order not to implicate the residents of the street, she was willing to be captured. This shows that her nature is not evil.

That's why Lin Qingyue was willing to give Hong Yao a chance to walk the right path.

Soon, Hong Yao filled the vacancy left by the traitor Wang Xian and officially became a guard of the Xuanjing Division.

Although there were many cases in the Xuanjing Division, most of the time they were trivial matters.

Hong Yao was a diligent person with good physical strength, busy all day long, never complaining of fatigue.

In the first month after taking office, she became the person who handled the most cases in the entire Xuanjing Division, surpassing even Xie Shouzheng.

Xie Shouzheng was initially proud of having a capable helper.

One day, when he heard Hong Yao say to Lin Qingyue: "I'm not tired. If I handle more cases and make more contributions, maybe in the future I can be like Deputy Envoy Lin and get an official position."

Xie Shouzheng thought: The organizational structure of the Xuanjing Division is simple, with only two official positions: the main envoy and the deputy envoy.

Hong Yao wants to be an official; what official? Could it be that she wants to occupy my position?

Thus, the competitive Xie Daren felt a deep crisis and rushed to handle cases every day, secretly competing with Hong Yao.

In this way, Lin Qingyue was relatively more relaxed, getting off work on time every day to go home and be a master to Dongfang Qi, teaching him the technique of talismans.

For the first two times, Xie Shouzheng accompanied Dongfang Qi to study. Later, he was busy competing with Hong Yao and was so busy that he couldn't even find time to accompany the Crown Prince.

Today, seeing Dongfang Qi visiting alone again.

Lin Qingyue joked: "Did Xie Daren dump you again? Alas, poor Crown Prince."

Dongfang Qi didn't care: "He has official business; let him be."

Lin Qingyue said: "It's really a good life to be your pet; it's spoiled beyond measure."

Dongfang Qi smiled: "Let's not talk about him; let's start."

Lin Qingyue had been teaching Dongfang Qi talismans for a month and was often shocked by Dongfang Qi's talent.

Not to mention the primary talismans, he could draw them after one look.

For the intermediate difficulty ones, he could also draw them decently after copying them twice.

And the most difficult talisman array requires quickly drawing a dozen talismans, then forming an array, and then using spiritual power to drive the power in the array.

In addition to the fast, accurate, and ruthless technique of drawing talismans, there is also the cooperation of spiritual power, the application of the array, etc., all of which are very demanding on personal ability.

And Dongfang Qi only suffered setbacks at the beginning, and after practicing for a few days, he could master it proficiently.

Lin Qingyue said to Dongfang Qi: "At this speed, you will be able to graduate in less than three months."

Dongfang Qi said modestly: "It's because you teach well. Actually, the more difficult it is, the more difficult it is. I have been feeling powerless recently. If I make slow progress in the future, don't dislike me."

So from that day on, he really made slow progress.

The fire array talisman taught a few days ago, he actually practiced for more than ten days and didn't learn it. Either the angle of the talisman was not good enough, or there was a deviation in the use of spiritual power.

Tonight, the strength of the fire array was not controlled well, and Lin Qingyue's house was almost burned down.

After hurriedly extinguishing the fire, Dongfang Qi felt very sorry: "Sorry, sorry, I will pay attention next time!"

Lin Qingyue glared at him helplessly: "You really can't be praised. I just said you had talent last time, and you started to regress recently. You need to reflect on yourself and think carefully about where the problem lies."

Dongfang Qi said: "Maybe I've been too busy recently, and my brain is not enough."

While speaking, he reached out and pressed his forehead, making a tired look.

Lin Qingyue scolded on the surface, but felt secretly refreshed in her heart: Sure enough, the talent is not as good as me, at least when I practiced the fire array talisman, I didn't set the house on fire.

"Okay, let's have dinner first, and then continue practicing after eating."

"Okay!"

The dishes were carefully cooked by the chef, with excellent color, fragrance, and taste.

The two chatted while eating. In a trance, it seemed like a family, intimate.

Lin Qingyue said: "By the way, there is something I want to ask you for help. Which set of history books here is the most comprehensive and true."

Dongfang Qi stopped his chopsticks and asked: "Why do you suddenly want to understand the history of the Qi Guo?"

Lin Qingyue said: "Not just the Qi Guo, it's best to be the history of this world from the beginning to the present."

Dongfang Qi was even more confused: "Why are you suddenly interested in these things?"

Lin Qingyue was not suddenly studious, but after the Chiying Land, she suddenly found that there were more cultivators and demons in this world than expected.

Although it cannot be compared with her original world, there are some similarities.

For example, the Jiangjiang beast, Xuxuhu, and Mayfly Demon exist in this world and also in the Immortal Cultivation World.

For another example, the Crown Prince can practice arts. There are people in Duke Li's family who practice evil arts secretly.

These coincidences couldn't help but make her suspect, what is the connection between this world and the Immortal Cultivation World?

And the most convenient way to understand a world is to start with history.

Dongfang Qi picked up a crystal shrimp for Lin Qingyue: "I can help you find history books, but it will take a lot of time for you to read. You may not be able to finish reading in one or two years. If you want to know which period of history, why not ask me."

He pointed to his brain, showing off: "From ancient times to the present, all history is in my brain."

Lin Qingyue was overjoyed when she heard this: "Really? That's great! Then why not start from the beginning of creation, so I don't have to spend energy flipping through books."
