from simplicity to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.
She never wanted to chew such unpalatable medicinal herbs again. She
couldn't delay her younger brother's business, and she wanted to continue to have delicious "candy beans". With a turn of her brain, a best of both worlds came up.
"I want to go too!"
Looking at the girl with a joyful face, Chen Guan didn't express his opinion, and motioned the girl to ask the elder.
It didn't matter to him. Zi Yan's body was a little special. Without taking action, Chen Guan couldn't see her strength clearly.
But what is certain is that she is a Dou Wang at the bottom.
This is already among the top strong men in the Jia Ma Empire, and there is no such thing as dragging her feet.
On the contrary, it is still a free thug.
By the way, it can also deepen the relationship. What
's more, Zi Yan seems to have a talent for treasure hunting, and can be used as a treasure hunting mouse, which can be said to have many benefits.
Su Qianze frowned slightly. Because of Chen Guan's information, he also knew some of the situation in the Jia Ma Empire, and he was not very worried about the girl's safety.
On the contrary, he was worried about whether the girl would cause trouble for the boy.
"If Chen Guan is willing to take you, I won't stop you, but you have to promise to be obedient and not cause trouble."
Su Qian, who raised her as a granddaughter, knew this girl's temperament very well. She was not a person who could calm down.
Putting this aside, Su Qian was actually willing to let her go out and make more friends.
In the past few years, the girl seemed carefree and heartless on the surface, but in fact she had no friends and was very lonely.
Now that she finally had someone to play with, he was also happy to see it happen.
Seeing the elder kick the ball back, the girl stared at him with bright eyes, and Chen Guan nodded in agreement.
"Then let's go together, Zi Yan, my safety on this journey depends on you."
"Don't worry, whoever bullies you, I will beat him to death!"
The cute little girl
Chen Guan and the elder both laughed happily.
Without rushing for this moment, Chen Guan mentioned another thing.
"Grand Elder, I want to ask if there is any Absolute Star Secret Copper in the inner courtyard. I want to exchange some."
"Absolute Star Secret Copper?"
Su Qian looked puzzled.
It had been so long that even he didn't know what this material was.
"It's the material that was exposed on the surface of the Tianfen Qi Training Tower."
"Oh, you mean the black cold iron. We don't have this material in the inner courtyard either. However, more than ten years ago, some of it was removed when the Tianfen Qi Training Tower was inspected. Wait a minute."
Su Qian suddenly realized, asked the boy and the girl to wait for a while, and got up and left alone.
It only took a few minutes to come back. With a wave of his hand, the black stone platforms in the training room were taken out one by one, and the stacks were higher than people.
"These iron lumps are useless if they are piled in the warehouse. If you need them, take them away. There is no need to exchange them. They are not of much value. Zi Yan will follow you, so just take care of her."
For the academy, this is not much different from those abandoned tables and chairs. It even takes up space. Su Qian was very generous and gave them away directly.

Chen Guan also laughed. This is really the saying, your scrap iron is my immortal material.
Su Qian was generous, and Chen Guan was not hypocritical. He waved his hand to put away all the materials.
These black stone platforms were made of Juexing Secret Copper. If you spend some time refining, there should be a lot of them.
"I will. Thank you, elder."
After the discussion, Chen Guan did not stay any longer. He took Zi Yan and left. He rented a griffin beast and asked an elder to show him the way. Then he went to the outer courtyard.
Heping Town.
This can barely be regarded as the dividing line between Canaan College and Black Horn Region. After leaving this loess road, you can no longer be as lax as in the college. Everyone you meet, old people, children, women, if you are careless, they may bring you fatal threats.
However, within this loess road, it is a different scene.
Although there is a strong fierce breath in the bodies of the people who come and go, they dare not emit any murderous aura on their faces. This kind of appearance of hiding the murderous aura in the heart is not natural, but looks like forced oppression.
Therefore, these people's facial expressions are very stiff and weird.
On the left side of the town, there is an extremely creepy tree, which is pitch black and has fangs and claws. Among the branches, there are corpses hanging on it. The breeze blows, swaying, and emitting a terrifying creaking sound.
This "dead tree" is one of the means for Canaan Academy to deter the Black Horn Region. It has even hung the corpse of a Douhuang strongman on it, and it is famous.
When Chen Guan was in the law enforcement team of the outer courtyard, he also personally killed a murderer here and hung him up.
"Chen Guan? Didn't you enter the inner courtyard? Why are you here?" A mentor who looked to be about 25 or 26 greeted the three people coming towards him.
Chen Guan recognized this mentor. His surname was Feng. He specialized in distributing a special pill that could sense murderous aura to people who came in Heping Town, and cooperated with the law enforcement team to protect the safety of the academy. He was quite familiar with him.
"Teacher Feng, someone from my family is here. I asked for leave. Is there anyone causing trouble today?"
"Haha, no. You influenced them before. The guys in the law enforcement team have become more brutal than each other. It's good that they don't take the initiative to go out and cause trouble. Who dares to take the initiative to die? Okay, then you go."
Chen Guan smiled and nodded. He took Zi Yan and, under the leadership of Gangzi, met the messenger who had been waiting for a long time at the inn, a middle-aged man dressed in black.
This man is quite powerful, at the level of a five-star Douling!
The most peculiar thing is his appearance. He
is not handsome, but he is definitely not ugly. He has no obvious features. He belongs to the appearance that will be forgotten in a blink of an eye if thrown into the crowd.
Seeing the young man, the man saluted respectfully.
"Sir, the princess asked me to pass on a message. The old man has lived up to everyone's expectations and can return slowly."
Hearing this, Zhao Gang and Zi Yan were confused for a while, but Chen Guan smiled happily.
He guessed that the person coming from the Jiama Empire must be Jia Xingtian who had come out of seclusion, but it was unknown whether he had successfully crossed the Dou Zong barrier.
Fortunately, Jia Xingtian seems to be very motivated.
In this way, the success rate of his plan has greatly increased.
It is time to fulfill the promise with Medusa.
"Hahaha, good, when the roc rises with the wind, it soars up to 90,000 miles."
"Let's go back to Gama!"
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 86 The Female Douhuang in the Desert
The vast land was covered with yellow sand. The sun was wandering between the north and the south, and the intense heat was pouring in.
In the sky, a huge demon beast spread its wings and flew over, leaving a fast-moving shadow in the desert.
A girl's slightly childish voice could be heard asking.
"Chen Guan, haven't we arrived yet? We have been flying for twenty days."
"Almost there. The Gama Empire is ahead."
"Humph, you said the same thing yesterday."
"This time it's true."
On the broad back of the griffin beast, a man in black stood like a statue, watching the young man in front of him coaxing the girl with a smile, without saying a word.
There is no doubt that the three people are Chen Guan, Zi Yan, and the messenger who rushed back from Canaan Academy.
Holding the girl's shoulders, Chen Guan smiled slightly.
This time, he really didn't lie to the girl. He had already entered the Tagor Desert. Is it far from the Gama Empire?
Because there were fewer people on board this time, and the weakest of them were Douling strength, the griffin beast could completely let go of its speed, almost twice as fast as the last time it went to Canaan College.
Even so, Zi Yan, who was lively by nature, still had no patience and complained more than once that it was too slow.
"Hey, Chen Guan, your hand is glowing."
Suddenly, the girl shouted in surprise, pulling the boy's palm and turning it over and over to check.
Chen Guan looked down and saw a snake-shaped mark on the back of his hand flickering, like a pigeon blood tattoo.
After a moment of stunned reaction, it should be Queen Medusa who sensed that he had entered the desert and was reminding him in this way that the agreed one-year period was approaching. He
understood it in his heart, but did not care too much. This time he came back for this matter.
The griffin beast continued to fly and flew over an oasis.
"Take a break."
Seeing the girl's eyes were moved, Chen Guan stopped the griffin beast and landed on the oasis.
As soon as he landed, Zi Yan couldn't wait to jump off his back, and with a "plop" she jumped into the shallow pond, splashing water happily, leaving the griffin beast who wanted to drink water speechless. In the desert, there is nothing more joyful than encountering an oasis.
Chen Guan sat on the small slope and watched. After Qing Lin, he once again felt like an old father taking care of his children.
"Master, here."
The man behind him took out a pot of fresh water that had never been opened and handed it to him.
Chen Guan took it, drank half of the pot and returned it to him. He rested his head on his hands, lying comfortably on the slope, looking at the red clouds at the end of the desert, looking a little intoxicated.
"After leaving for a while and coming back, I feel that the sunset here is more beautiful. Do you think Sister Yaoye and the others who have been staying in the imperial city will have this feeling?"
The man still said nothing, standing blankly beside him, not knowing whether he was listening to him.
Chen Guan was used to it, just looking at the round sunset and talking to himself.
The sunset in the desert is beautiful, but there is always a sense of desolation, lacking the agility that it should have.
Just thinking about it, suddenly, Chen Guan's pupils shrank slightly, and he saw a figure flashing through the red sunset.
A woman, Dou Wang or Dou Huang?
Feeling that the person was familiar, Chen Guan quickly stood up.
"I'll go and take a look, you wait here for me."
He said, without giving Zi Yan a chance to speak, summoned the puppet and flew directly into the distance.
The puppet was very fast, following the moving trajectory of the figure, Chen Guan overtook the curve and blocked the opponent's way in advance.
Soon, a stream of green light came into view from a distance.
It was indeed her!
"Master Yun, where are you going in such a hurry?"
The sudden voice broke Yun Yun's chaotic thoughts.
Looking up, I saw a young man staying in the air not far away, greeting her with a natural smile, that look, just like a familiar neighbor who met her when he went out and asked her if she had eaten.
The young man was wearing a green robe of the same color as her, which showed off his slender figure. What was slightly inconsistent with his elegance was the pair of blood-red wings behind him that were so dazzling.

Dou Qi turns into wings, Dou Wang?!
No, it should be a flying fighting skill.
Obviously, she, at her prime, did not have the experience of Hai Bodong, nor had she seen anyone in the royal family use this fighting skill.
As she was looking at him, she saw the boy falling from the sky in a chic manner and stopped on the opposite slope.
A trace of suspicion flashed in Yun Yun's eyes, and she also put away her Dou Qi and turned into wings, landing two meters away from the boy.
"Little... Chen Guan, didn't you go to Canaan College? Did you come from there?"
"Almost. I left for a long time and I miss home. I came back to see."
"Did you meet other strong people when you came?"
Without delving into the truth of the boy's words, Yun Yun pretended to ask casually.
But when Chen Guan shook his head, he could still keenly notice that her eyebrows were slightly frowned.
"No, it was very peaceful on the way back. I didn't see many Dou Lings. I shouldn't be enough for you to consider him a strong person. What's wrong?"
Yun Yun shook her head without saying a word, turned to face Xi Chen, and there was a trace of worry in her eyes.
Due to her status as a young royal, she couldn't tell him about the Yunlan Sect, especially since it concerned her teacher.
In the past year, she had noticed something unusual in the back mountain more than once. That was where Yunshan was in seclusion. It should have been undisturbed, but she could hear strange noises every once in a while.
Worried, she had visited her teacher.
Although Yunshan hid it very well, Yun Yun, now a Douhuang strongman, could still detect the injuries on Yunshan's body.
When she asked, Yunshan smiled and told her that it was just the result of a failed attack on the Douzong barrier.
That day, Yun Yun wanted to say something but stopped herself several times.
She was not the kind of innocent little girl. The marks left by being beaten were very different from the injuries left by the attack on the barrier, both inside and outside.
She wanted to share her teacher's worries, but Yunshan kept silent, so she had no choice but to pay more attention secretly.
As a result, it was okay if she didn't pay much attention, but once she paid attention, she had more and more doubts in her heart.
First, the great elder Yun Leng was secretly summoned, and then Yun Leng secretly sent out many disciples of the Yun Lan Sect to search for something in the empire without being very serious.
All kinds of anomalies made her have to think more.
Finally, today, she heard the movement from the back mountain again. After secretly spying for a long time, she found a black shadow flying out of the teacher's retreat room at an extremely fast speed.
In order to solve the doubts in her heart, Yun Yun followed secretly, but was worried about being discovered by the other party, so she could only keep a long distance.
She followed all the way until she entered the Tagor Desert and completely lost the other party's whereabouts.
It was so strange that Yun Shan consciously kept silent. Yun Yun felt a lot of pressure and had a premonition that a storm was coming.
If Yun Yun didn't say it, Chen Guan naturally didn't know the inside story.
But the mysterious strong man who made Yun Yun so concerned also made Chen Guan remember it in his heart. He wondered if the Wu protector in the original trajectory had arrived?
Doesn't that mean
"I remember when I was a kid, I often worried about things, until one day, Jia Lao gave me some advice."
"He said that people need to experience too many things in their lifetime. If you have to think about everything clearly, it will be too tiring. Instead of worrying, you might as well use this time to improve yourself and practice well, so that even if you really encounter something in the future, you will have more ability to deal with it. In other words, if it is really a problem that cannot be solved, the result will still be the same if you rack your brains, which will only affect your mood."
Yun Yun shook her head slightly, expressing her disbelief.
"Can Jia Lao be so free and easy?"
Chen Guan nodded in agreement, "I think so too, it is not in line with his style, but it is indeed what he said. Sometimes, this old man is very nagging, and he is like a different person when he is excited."
Yun Yun chuckled, "If Jia Lao knew that you said that to him, he would probably beat you to death."
Chen Guan was not afraid, because that was the fact, and he did not slander her. He
looked her up and down and teased.
"Perhaps Nalan Yanran is saying the same thing about you behind your back."
The sky is clear and the nine provinces are in full view. The most reunion night is the Mid-Autumn Festival! Belated blessings, happy Mid-Autumn Festival! What's a bit too much is that it rained all day here.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 87 Nalan Yanran is on the way to Xiao's house
. Yun Yun didn't believe the childish provocation. She and Nalan Yanran were master and apprentice, and they were also like sisters, with a very good relationship. She
turned back and rolled her eyes at the boy, "It feels like you are talking about Yanran like a child. Have you forgotten that you and she are of the same age?"
Chen Guan shook his head, "People of the same age have a common language. I can't talk to your precious apprentice. I think we are like peers now, standing together to appreciate the sunset, like friends, chatting about our troubles casually."
Yun Yun did not refute, ignoring the other party's age, and she did feel that way.
"I remember someone told me sincerely that he would not leave the imperial capital in a few years, but he turned around and ran away. Is this a friend?"
"Ha, that was purely an accident. Plans cannot keep up with changes."
"Oh, what about the puppet?"
"What puppet? Is there any problem with the puppet? That's a pity. Maybe it has been broken for a long time."
"Little liar! You never tell the truth."
"You are a bit arbitrary."
One is a member of the royal family, and the other is the current leader of the Yunlan Sect. They met in this desert and chatted happily. It was not until the setting sun completely disappeared that Yun Yun took the lead and returned in the direction they came from.
Chen Guan was in a good mood after meeting the great leader Yun, especially showing off in front of her.
Unfortunately, the good mood did not last long.
When he returned to the oasis, he only saw the griffin beast playing happily by the pond and the messenger who spoke very little, but the most active Xiaolongnu disappeared.
"Where is Zi Yan?"
The man shook his head. He really wanted to help stop her, but the girl was a monster and disappeared in a flash. He was just a small Dou Ling, how could he stop her?
Chen Guan had the urge to cover his face. He was careless and shouldn't have let her out of his sight.
This was not the first time. On the way back, the girl quietly left several times, and when she came back, she had some precious medicinal materials on her.
It was obvious that she went to "borrow".
The small country tribes on the road were okay, but in the Tagor Desert, the only force that could be found was the snake people.
Even though Zi Yan was gifted in space, Chen Guan didn't think she could escape from Queen Medusa. It all depended on Medusa's attitude. After all, they had a cooperative relationship, so she shouldn't be so disrespectful.
"Forget it, wait a while. If she doesn't come back in a quarter of an hour, go to the snake people to ask."
Every minute and every second, Chen Guan never felt that a quarter of an hour was so long.
Fortunately, although Zi Yan was jumpy, she knew her limits. She came back in ten minutes or so, holding seven or eight medicinal herbs of different sizes in her hands. She was jumping and swinging them like carrots. She had no awareness of treating high-level medicinal herbs as treasures. She was very happy.
She looked like a naughty kid!
She looked up and saw the calm face of the boy on the hill. It was obvious to the naked eye that she was frightened. Her smile froze and she completely forgot that she was a Dou Wang strongman.
It's over. She was too proud and should put it in her ring.
Hiding the medicinal herbs in her hand behind her back, the girl forced a smile again, and then, she changed her appearance and rushed over.
"Chen Guan, look at the medicinal herbs I found in the desert. I'm not bad. I can give you two."
She raised the medicinal herbs in both hands and sent them to the boy to ask for credit. Her big eyes stared at her, and she looked like she was eager for praise, trying to get away with it.
Resisting the urge to spank her little butt, Chen Guan took the medicinal herbs and took a closer look. They were clean without a trace of dirt.
"Truth."
"Well, actually I found it, I don't know who lost it."
"Huh?"
Chen Guan looked up. I suspect you think I'm a fool.
"Sister Medusa gave it to me. I've never been into their treasure house. Sister Medusa also asked me to tell you that in twenty-three days it will be a year."
"Didn't she blame you?"
"No, Sister Medusa is very good and kind. I like her very much. Chen Guan, are you friends? What do you think of Sister Medusa?"
If this were said, the strong men of the major empires would probably die of laughter. When did Queen Medusa become associated with the word kind?
However, Chen Guan had no doubt. In his memory, Queen Medusa seemed to like Zi Yan very much. In addition to the fact that the girl was indeed cute and likable, it was probably because they were not normal humans.
Without making any comments, Chen Guan could feel that there was a familiar breath watching him in the dark.
"Okay, since she gave it to you, just keep it. We have to speed up our journey. I will help you make the pills when we go back."
"Will we see Sister Medusa again in the future?"
"Don't worry, I will come to see her in a few days. There will be plenty of opportunities then."
Not wanting to stay any longer, he pulled the girl onto the back of the griffin, called the messenger, and the griffin took off again. The
entry of foreign flying monsters into the Jiama Empire forced several border cities to be vigilant. Fortunately, Chen Guan and the messenger had royal tokens on them, so they had no obstacles along the way.
Covered in the moonlight, the griffin slowed down a little and continued to fly. When flying over one of the official roads, a carriage below attracted Chen Guan's attention.
The carriage was decorated very luxuriously, and there was a cloud and silver sword logo on the side of the body.
And this logo represents the Yunlan Sect.
"I remember that Wutan City is also in that direction, right?"
"Yes, young master. From this official road, pass through Quzhou City, and go more than 200 miles, you will reach Wutan City."
Chen Guan nodded slightly, and his mental power spread like a tide, and the scene in the carriage also came into his mind.
An old man, a young man and a woman, all wearing the moon-white robes of Yunlan Sect.
What Chen Guan found most interesting was that the girl was Nalan Yanran, whom he had met once before!
This lineup, this time and place...
The famous scene of breaking off the engagement is coming!
Retracting his mental power, Chen Guan sighed lightly.
Unknowingly, more than ten years have passed, and I can feel the feeling of time passing by more and more.
"Yunlan Sect has made many small moves in the past year, but they are just going through the motions. The princess has analyzed it and guessed that they seem to be perfunctory to someone."
Seeing that the young man was a little absent-minded, the man thought he was confused and took the initiative to explain.
Chen Guan smiled back, thinking that this time it was not the kind of perfunctory small move, but something else.
"Don't worry about them, just go back to the capital."
The flower grower's love of watching the fun was at work again, but he was thrown away the moment he turned his head. He didn't have the golden finger to witness the famous scene, so there was no need to waste energy.
Whether it was breaking off the engagement or the three-year agreement, it didn't matter to him.
Compared to this meaningless thing, he wanted to go back earlier.
