Chapter 981: Grand Secretary Cui’s Goodwill

While the others were attending court, Zhang Ronghua and Ding Yi were not. When the officials passing by saw them, they thought of what had happened in the past few days and quickly swept their eyes over them. Then, they withdrew their gaze and secretly guessed their true purpose in the Hall of Ten Thousand Books.

Ignoring the strange looks of others, he nodded and greeted acquaintances.

Seeing the Vermilion Bird Gate, Chen Youcai and Xu Xing’s carriages arrived one after the other. The two of them got off the carriage. There were many people at the city gate, and it was not convenient to talk. After a simple greeting, they entered the Imperial Palace.

Not long after he left.

Uncle Ding stopped his carriage.

“Brother, let’s go over,” Ding Yi called out.

When he was close.

“We’re going to the Fate Academy,” Zhang Ronghua said as they got into the car.

In the car, breakfast was placed on the table. After such a long time, the two of them were hungry and ate casually.

After breakfast.

“I’m so sleepy.” Ding Yi yawned and patted his mouth.

Zhang Ronghua was even more exhausted. He hadn’t slept well for five days in a row. He only slept for about two hours a day. The rest of the time was spent on creating the Celestial Thearch God Sealing Technique. It consumed a lot of his mental strength.” Bear with it for a while longer. I’ll catch up on my sleep when we get there.”

“Yes.” Ding Yi nodded.

The carriage moved forward.

As they left, the news spread like a gust of wind and reached the ears of some people. They gave a death order to find out the secret hidden behind Zhang Ronghua.

According to the original plan, Emperor Xia ordered Wei Shang to release the news “inadvertently”.

It was said that Zhang Ronghua was in the Hall of Ten Thousand Books, reading ancient books and trying to write a perfect article about Yang Hongling to pass the first test of the old teacher. Although the suspicious people did not believe it, they still explained it.

Zhang Ronghua treated Fate Academy as his home. He could enter and leave as he pleased without any notice. It was not a secret that he could play together.

They had deep feelings for each other.

Now that he was a third-grade official, he naturally wanted to bring the beauty home and proposed to marry her. It was reasonable for the old master to set a test and desperately break through the situation.

There were also some who did not give up and secretly ordered people to continue investigating.

No matter what they thought.

At this moment.

The carriage stopped at the gate of the Fate Academy. The two of them got out of the carriage. Uncle Ding drove the carriage to the side to wait. The person guarding the door was not Duan Jiu, but Du Changge.

After the small talk, they entered the academy.

“Brother, there’s really no need to report?” Ding Yi was surprised.

Zhang Ronghua chuckled.” I’ve been here many times. Everyone knows each other. Naturally, there’s no need.”

” What’s going on between you and Sister Hongling?” Ding Yi asked in a low voice after he glanced around and saw that there was no one around.

Bang!

“You talk too much.” Zhang Ronghua smacked him with a chestnut and glared at him.

They entered the old man’s courtyard without any obstructions.

The sky had not yet completely lit up. It was still between dawn and night. At a glance, it was hazy. Xiao Si was lying by the spirit lake. When he heard the sound of footsteps, he opened his eyes and looked over.” Has the matter in the palace been resolved?”

“Yes.” Zhang Ronghua nodded.

” Fourth Uncle!” Ding Yi called out to him without waiting for him to speak.

Little Four raised his head proudly and smiled until his eyes narrowed.

“Can you change the way you address me?” Ding Yi’s face was bitter and resentful.

“No!”

Zhang Ronghua looked at him mockingly. The old man must have known his grandfather, which was why he addressed him like that.” Hongling hasn’t gotten up yet?” he asked.

“I cultivated the Haoran Divine Sword Technique until very late last night. I just fell asleep not long ago,” said Little Four.

The Righteous Divine Sword Technique was the fusion of the Righteous Myriad Sword Technique and the Taiyi Divine Sword Technique.

A pair of beast eyes rolled.

“It’s almost time for breakfast. What do you think…?”

“We ate on the way here,” said Zhang Ronghua deliberately.

“Hong Ling hasn’t eaten yet.”

He wasn’t teasing it.

“What do you want to eat?” asked Zhang Ronghua.

“Fish soup?”

“Good!” Zhang Ronghua agreed.

They walked to the lakeside.

He grabbed at the air and a terrifying suction force came from his palm. He grabbed four spiritual fish and strung them together with a straw rope before walking towards the kitchen.

Ding Yi sat down on the grass and laid down lazily. It was really comfortable. He asked curiously,” Brother, are your culinary skills very good?”

Little Four kicked him with his hoof.

“Fourth Uncle.”

“It’s not just high. It’s close to the sixth realm.”

Ding Yi’s eyes lit up.” I’m not a good person. I can’t believe I hid such good cooking skills. Every time, I’ll bring us to Platinum Hall or Heavenly Earth.”

“Didn’t His Majesty arrange a marriage for you? Why did he go to the bar? Did the Hunts cause you any trouble?”

“Fourth Uncle, can you not look at me like that? I’ve changed my ways and stopped going a long time ago.”

“Not bad!” Little Four praised. This is a good nephew. Your grandfather will be happy if he knows.”

In the kitchen.

Zhang Ronghua made candied haws first. The ingredients were ready. He had brought some from Platinum Hall last time and made two flavors, one sweet and one sour.

Then, there were steamed buns, fried dough sticks, millet porridge, spirit fish soup, and two hot and two cold dishes.

Little Four’s portion was specially placed in a basin. After handing it over, he asked Ding Yi to carry the rest of the dishes to the hall and walked to the backyard.

He stopped at the door.

Thump! Thump!

“Are you awake?” asked Zhang Ronghua.

In the room.

Yang Hongling rubbed her eyes. She sat up on the bed and opened the door.” So fast?”

“It’s just a small matter. I’ve delayed it for so many days. If I don’t finish it soon, I’ll be ashamed.”

“Breakfast is ready. Wash your face and go to the lobby to eat,” said Zhang Ronghua.

“Did you make this?”

“What else?”

He left behind his back and went to the old man’s room.

They chatted for a while.

The old man didn’t ask about the Celestial Thearch’s God-Sealing Technique, and Zhang Ronghua didn’t say anything either. It seemed that he knew about it, but it was a taboo.
