The core meaning of her calling her \"Mom\" doesn't need to be said, right? Has Shen Tang ever been called that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Win!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Tinglan’s little bit of unhappiness didn't disappear, but at least it was suppressed. She smiled and hugged Anuo as she went out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou and Shen Tang were already waiting in the courtyard, and several dishes had been placed on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Tinglan thought that the cook of the Tianxing Sword Sect was not easy; they probably had to take a flying magic weapon over a mountain to deliver meals... just for the Sect Master and the gigolo to conveniently hide on a mountain to be lovey-dovey. So how can this Sect Master lead the team well?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She put down Anuo, and the four of them sat around the stone table. Ye Tinglan didn't eat anything and opened her mouth to say: \"You returned to Xiazhou to pick up Anuo and take her back to the capital. How long do you plan to stay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just after returning, she was going to take her husband away. The heart fire that Shen Tang had already calmed down rose up, and she said expressionlessly: \"I heard that the Master is the only First Grade in the Alchemy Academy besides Dean Qin. You wouldn't even have the power to decide the trial time yourself, would you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Tinglan said leisurely: \"That may be so, but we have already exceeded the original trial time by double. I shouldn't destroy the rules of the Alchemy Academy too much. This is also for Xingzhou’s own good, so as not to always be different and be gossiped about.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Tang was stuck, and after a long while, she said: \"It's not a day or two difference. Since there is no important matter now, and it's not urgent, let Anuo accompany the Master to walk around?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's okay to go back a day or two late. This is Xingzhou’s hometown and the location of his sect after all, and I cannot be heartless,\" Ye Tinglan said lightly. \"But I have two disciples, why only let one accompany me? Sect Master, don't trap Xingzhou in injustice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Tang: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Palace intrigue can win against this old woman, but this old woman using her identity to suppress people is too powerless. Whether it's the State Preceptor or the Alchemy Academy Master, the reasons are all set. How can a little wife refute them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou muffledly picked up a piece of food for Ye Tinglan: \"Master, eat first, eat first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Balancing water is too difficult. It's easy to imagine how the Master exploded in the room this morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who are arrogant are always arrogant. When playing with fish on the phone, did you ever think of today?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Tinglan glared at him. Of course, she wouldn't argue endlessly about jealousy like a village woman. She calmed down and ate, saying: \"Two months have passed, and the spiritual energy in Xiazhou is richer than last time. Have you prepared how to deal with the imperial court’s questioning?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Tang said: \"No one else has reported it yet. Father... the Emperor should not have noticed this place for the time being.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Tinglan thought for a moment and shook her head: \"He has many secret agents here collecting information; it's impossible for no one to pay attention and report. If he hasn't reacted, either the measures he took haven't started to show yet, or he has been distracted by other things and has no time to deal with other relatively less important matters for the time being.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou nodded and said: \"After Gu Shaoli went back, Gu Zhanting should know that some of his schemes have been exposed. What he should be dealing with now is the questioning from the Tianyao Sacred Land. Perhaps calculating how to deal with the State Preceptor is enough to make his head swell three times larger.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Tinglan glanced at Shen Tang, thinking to herself that this is the thunder I am helping you carry. You don't appreciate it, and you're still playing with me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Tang coughed twice and lowered her head to drink soup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou said: \"In addition, what Gu Zhanting did also angered the Monster Clan. I wonder if the Monster Clan has any other actions besides capturing Chen Yu?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes,\" Shen Tang interrupted: \"In just over a month, there have been several battles at the border. The current battle situation hasn't reached Xiazhou... Xiazhou is ultimately a bit remote, far from the core.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the current situation, you should arrange for people to enter the capital, specifically for passing messages.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Arrangements have already been made. In addition to those doing business in the capital, disciples have also been arranged to participate in the martial arts examination. When the time comes, we will try to arrange them into government offices like the Demon Suppression Division.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou said: \"Since their background in the Tianxing Sword Sect is known, can they really be arranged?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Tang secretly looked at Ye Tinglan and still said: \"I originally had some old relationships in the capital, and some officials support me, but the situation was not good before, so it was not easy for me to contact them. Now that I have re-established contact, I will give you a list, which will be useful when you enter the capital again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is probably the only contender for the throne who publicly leaked her political forces in front of the State Preceptor. It's simply heaven-defying. Ye Tinglan held a stomach full of strange emotions but didn't know how to complain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Am I your person, and you do this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seriously speaking, I am your enemy, okay, little princess?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking about seeing this little princess in her early years, she was still a soft little dumpling like Anuo. Now that she has become like this, Ye Tinglan feels that time is ruthless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Tang seems to be able to guess what she is thinking, and in her heart, she thinks, isn't it even more embarrassing for you to fight for a man with such a little dumpling you watched grow up?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou didn't notice the weird airflow between the two women at all and was seriously looking at the list. After reading it, he nodded slightly: \"It's actually much stronger than I imagined...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Tinglan said with a straight face: \"Of course it's not weak. This is the eldest daughter. Although she is a concubine, her ability is good, and she looks decent, so she is still remembered by a group of people.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Tang smiled slightly: \"Including the State Preceptor?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Tinglan said: \"That counts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, you would have died long ago, and you could still pose as the main wife in front of me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Tang also remembered that she really owed this old woman’s life-saving grace, and for a moment she felt a bit guilty and short of breath, so she said: \"The Master doesn't seem to eat much. Is it not to your taste?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Tinglan thought to herself that I can't eat when I look at your fox face, and said: \"I don't need to eat, just a little social interaction.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did you hear that? Social interaction. Get lost if you're sensible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Tang was still not sensible, pretending not to understand, and lowered her head to drink soup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Tinglan finally showed her cards: \"Xingzhou, take your Master out for a walk. I've been stifled on the mountain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou hurriedly put away the list and stood up: \"Xiazhou does have some other scenery. I will take the Master to visit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Tang wanted to say something but stopped. Thinking about it, forget it, this is really a life-saving benefactor. Ying ying ying...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anuo pointed at her own nose, watching the old woman take Master away, unable to say a word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Didn't you say you had more than one disciple? Didn't you say that only letting Anuo accompany you was trapping Xingzhou in injustice?\u003C\u002Fp>",1400,"2026-06-18T01:46:10.354Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","cd9fdd36989b651bfd0a0c67771b795547f090c06b7b7ed342b808799d89f9d6","the-grain-of-mountains-and-rivers-chapter-254","the-grain-of-mountains-and-rivers-chapter-252",325,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmountains-and-rivers-of-the-imperial-granary-cover.jpg"]
