"Ayan..."

Zhong Wu stretched out his hand, trying to grab Cheng Yan's trousers, but finally froze in mid-air.

Cheng Yan froze and was pushed gently by Xueli Mei without stopping.

Cheng Yan went downstairs, looked for the shopkeeper of Eight Treasures Restaurant, and prepared to listen to Xu Yi's instructions, order another Eight Delicacies Feast, and send it to his home. The person who received him was brocade-robed middle-aged man, who claimed to be Eight Treasures Restaurant's boss Long Hu, with a smile. He was so polite that Cheng Yan wanted to pay, but he refused and said directly, "If Master Cheng can come, the shop will be full of glory. From now on, this Eight Treasures Restaurant will be Master Cheng's canteen. When you talk about paying, isn't this a curse?"

Cheng Yan was dumbfounded, Long Hu took his hand affectionately and said, "Master Cheng Don't be polite, Long respects loyal people the most in his life, Master Cheng In Fengle, it is an honor for the entire Fengle people to have an outstanding person like Lord Xu come to visit us. It is a great honor for Long to get to know Master Cheng. I was shocked to hear that today is the 100th birthday of your noble son, and I cannot respect you. Please Master Cheng accept this brand. With this brand, Eight Treasures Restaurant will get everything for free."

Saying Long Hu, he handed over a jade plaque with the three characters Eight Treasures Restaurant engraved on it.

"Ayan, let's go. You can keep that sign. Call that person and send a few more tables to your house. I don't want the fancy ones, just the eight dishes."

At this time, the voice of Xu Yi came.

Cheng Yan accepted the jade token, gave Long Hu a fist, and left.

Long Hu was so excited that he was shaking all over and bowed repeatedly in the direction of the sound.

Just after we returned to Cheng Yan's house, Eight Treasures Restaurant's carriage arrived, seven or eight in front and behind, and all kinds of dishes were brought in in treasured thermostatic vessels at running prices.

Xu Yi didn't enjoy it, so he said hello to Cheng Yan and went to his room to rest.

He ordered these dishes not just for himself. At the previous dinner table, Mr. and Mrs. Cheng Yan didn't move their chopsticks at all. He saw in his eyes that these dishes were specially prepared by him for Mr. and Mrs. Cheng Yan.

As he stayed, Cheng Yan called softly by the door, "Sir, we have a visitor. It's the Xiao Tao from before."

Xu Yi turned his head and then remembered who Xiao Tao was. He was the young man in black with beautiful eyes who had previously contacted Ruyi Pearl and Vice Dean Yang in Eight Treasures Restaurant.

Xu Yi said, "Tell him I'm asleep and tell him if you have anything to do tomorrow."

He probably guessed what Xiao Tao was here to do, and he was a little tired of it because he couldn't control the relationship. He couldn't refuse before because he couldn't help it, but now his identity has changed so much that he can no longer waste time.

Cheng Yan agreed, went to reply, and stopped bothering Xu Yi.

Early the next morning, Xu Yi washed up and had breakfast, then said goodbye to Cheng Yan. Cheng Yan no longer wanted to stay, but only led the whole family to pay three respects to Xu Yi.

Not long after leaving Fengle City, Xu Yi suddenly froze his figure, and a figure came from a distance, it was Xiao Tao.

Xiao Tao's beautiful eyes stared at Xu Yi with a smile, cupping his fists and saying, "It's been a long night of waiting, I finally didn't miss it."

Xu Yi said, "I don't know what Brother Tao is looking for me for. If it's nothing urgent, I apologize that I have official duties and it's inconvenient for me to accompany you."

Xiao Tao said, "Brother Xu why would you reject someone thousands of miles away? What happened yesterday, Tao just happened to meet him. Strictly speaking, I and Brother Xu still have a romantic relationship."

Xu Yi was startled and said with a smile, "If we talk about it from Vice Dean Yang, the love for incense is too thin."

Xiao Tao waved his hands and said, "Brother Xu started his career in Fanyang Prefecture. Many of his former colleagues and bosses are still at Fanyang Prefecture. Many of Tao's father's old memories are also in Fanyang Prefecture. Now Fanyang Prefecture is not unfamiliar to Ming Liding and Brother Xu, right?"

Xu Yi said, "How come Brother Tao was ordered by the Ming government..."

Xiao Tao said, "My father is the predecessor of the Mingfu Ling. In the past, the Mingfu Ling also obeyed orders under my father's seat. I don't know about this incense love. Do you recognize it or not? Brother Xu?"

Xu Yi laughed, pointed to a green mountain in the northwest and said, "For this reason, Xu must serve some wine. I will wait for Brother Tao at the top."

After saying this, he stretched out his figure and climbed straight towards the top of the mountain.

At the same time, he was extremely curious in his heart, what was this former Fanyang Prefecture Commander doing in Jeju at this time? He had met him only once, and he came to him specifically to reminisce about the past. It felt weird when he thought about it.

When we reached the top of the mountain, Xu Yi moved out the tables and chairs from Sumeru Ring and placed four typical items, a pot of Bamboo Leaf Green and two cups.

As soon as he finished it, Xiao Tao went up the mountain. The two drank a few glasses of wine. Xiao Tao introduced himself. His name was Tao Jingshan and he studied at the Biyou Academy.

The cup that Xu Yi was putting in his mouth froze for an instant and he said "disrespect".

In fact, Biyou Academy has a great name, and Tao Jingshan has these words hanging on its head, as if it were covered with golden light.

Tao Jingshan was very satisfied with Xu Yi's reaction. He raised Biyou Academy, and what he wanted was Xu Yi's respect.

Otherwise, Xu Yi would keep silent, and he would not be able to say a lot of things. Even if he did, he would not be able to get the news he cares about.

Xu Yi was originally curious about the reason why Tao Jingshan was looking for him. When Tao Jingshan came again, he became even more curious. He simply gave him the initiative in the conversation to see what he wanted to do.

The two of them didn't chat for long. After only half a cup of tea, Tao Jingshan left.

The reason why the time was so short was that Tao Jingshan asked for information. Xu Yi didn't know much. Although he tried his best to recall, he could only tell a few superficial things. Tao Jingshan couldn't find any valuable information, so he naturally withdrew.

Looking at the disappearing figure of Tao Jingshan, Xu Yi was secretly curious, "Why does this guy care so much about Ming Liding? Does he have a problem with Ming Liding? Or does he want to curry favor with Ming Liding?"

It turned out that Tao Jingshan spent half a cup of tea with him just to get news about Ming Liding.

In Tao Jingshan's own words, he has been with the Biyou Academy for many years, and the previous relationship between his parents was broken. When his father was alive in the past, the most important thing was Ming Liding. Now, he wants to renew the relationship between the two families.

It would be a bad idea to rush to visit Ming Liding, so I wanted to know more about Ming Liding's temperament before I went to visit him. I happened to meet Xu Yi. I heard about his parentage from a friend, so I came here to visit him.

Xu Yi and Ming Liding had only met once and had little contact with each other. Most of the things about Ming Liding were heard, but he did not hide it from Tao Jingshan and told them everything at once.

After Tao Jingshan left, Xu Yi's curiosity was completely aroused. At that moment, he took out a Ruyi Pearl and asked the secret guard commander Chen Mingyuan for Shi Guozheng's contact information. He immediately contacted Shi Guozheng and asked him one thing.

Immediately, Xu Yi rushed towards Fanyang Prefecture. In the evening, he arrived at Fanyang Prefecture, found an inn in Sanyang City in Sanyang Prefecture under his jurisdiction, and stayed there.

The moon was at its zenith and shining through the window. Xu Yi sat at the triangular table in front of the window, using the faint moonlight to flip through a yellowed booklet named "Talisman Power Tracing".

Suddenly, there was a slight rustling sound from the bamboo bushes outside the window, and then a black shadow appeared by the window and whispered, "Sir, I'm here."
