"What about people?" Cang Wunian sat at the golden silk nanmu table in the room, drinking the soup slowly.

"Not in the house. The subordinates of his house said that he left the Thousand Machines Villa overnight yesterday. An Ruyue sat on the stool beside Cang Wunian, hung her head and said with some depression.

The movements in Cang Wunian's hand did not pause in the slightest, and he slowly took another sip of soup before he asked lightly, "Do you know where he went?"

"God knows where he went, the people in the heavenly retreat said that he confessed 'there is something important to deal with', and then there was no one. An Ruyue pursed her lips angrily.

Compared with An Ruyue's appearance of being angry and having nowhere to spill, Cang Wunian was extremely calm at this time. I saw him put the spoon in his hand in the bowl and stirred it slowly and carelessly, as if he had lost his appetite, and gently put the bowl on the table. After that, he picked up the teacup on the table again, took a sip of tea and rinsed his mouth.

This series of actions was completed elegantly, naturally and methodically, but his unhurried actions at the moment simply made An Ruyue want to spurt bloodlessly.

"Let's go, come with me to the 'Thousand Flowers Building'. Just when An Ruyue really couldn't help but want to ask him what he was planning now, Cang Wunian finally opened his mouth lightly.

The so-called "Thousand Flowers Building" is not a green building where men in the world are looking for a kiln sister to have fun, according to its literal interpretation, it is actually a pavilion that stores the roster of thousands of machine pavilions. I don't know what Gu Wentian thought back then, such a secret pavilion that stored the information of many important people in the Thousand Machines Pavilion and should have been taken seriously, actually took such a glamorous name.

"Oh. Seeing that Cang Wunian finally opened her mouth, An Ruyue subconsciously responded, and then she was slightly stunned, turned her head sideways and asked puzzledly: "What are you doing in Qianhualou?"

This time it's not that An Ruyue can't suppress her curiosity, but because as long as anyone who has been to Qianji Villa knows that this Qianhualou is a forbidden place in Qianji Villa, and no one is allowed to enter it without Gu Wentian's permission. Qianhualou never needs to send people to guard, because there are many forbidden formations and hidden weapons around the pavilion, if it is not for the martial arts and mana are at the peak, the result of forcibly breaking in is likely to be turned into powder at the door.

But Cang Wunian has always been a special case. The information in this Thousand Flowers Building needs to be updated every once in a while, and Gu Wentian always allows him to get the first-hand roster. To this day, even he doesn't know why, Gu Wentian would give him so many privileges in the first place, is it really because he thinks that one day the soul of Cang Wunian will be extracted and fused into his son's body, so he unconsciously feels a little guilty about him?

"Go find something. Cang Wunian didn't explain, and lightly shook off this sentence and strode out of the room.

Because the token symbolizing the young master on Cang Wunian's body is unique to the entire Thousand Machines Pavilion, except for the seal of the pavilion master, only his young master token can be unimpeded in any corner of the Thousand Machines Villa. Therefore, An Ruyue was also stained with the light of Cang Wunian, and under his leadership, she entered the Thousand Flowers Building for the first time in history.

It is not much different from the ordinary library building, and what catches your eye is countless bookshelves, stacks of roster jade slips, and you can see An Ruyue's scalp tingling for a while.

"Little prince, don't tell me, what you are looking for are in these jade slips?" An Ruyue swallowed her saliva and asked carefully.

Cang Wunian nodded: "It's good here, but I don't know if I can give me everything I want to know." ”

"My God, there are so many jade slips here, your old man doesn't plan to let the slaves and maids find them for you one by one, right?" An Ruyue complained with a bitter face.

Hearing this, Cang Wunian glanced at her speechlessly: "I see that you have lived too comfortably in the past few years, and now you don't even have to think about it." ”

An Ruyue was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but close her eyes and slapped her forehead fiercely: "Oh, little prince, you just don't say anything to me!"

Ignoring her no more, Cang Wunian raised his hand and threw his young master token into the air, and then the token seemed to be pulled by an invisible force and stopped in the air.

The token swirled slowly in midair, emitting a low humming sound. The next moment, the entire pavilion was overflowing with brilliance, and all the jade slips on the bookshelves turned into rows of golden fonts suspended in the air, and the golden fonts were arranged in an orderly manner, neatly rotating around Cang Wunian and An Ruyue.

Soon, Cang Wunian locked on one of the names, and a dark energy popped out from his fingertips, and the golden font swirling in the air dissipated, replaced by the complete information behind the name.

[Tiankui Domain-First Case-Volume 4-Qing Ci, a person from Yangquan Town, Beiyu State, born in Gengchen, both parents died, and there is a grandmother in the family. In the first year, he entered the Thousand Machine Pavilion...... Good at making secret weapons. Martial arts: Second class superior. Mana: Ding Intermediate level. 】

"This scholar is only seventeen years old this year?" After reading the detailed background information of Qingci recorded in the Thousand Machine Pavilion, An Ruyue couldn't help but let out a sigh.

"In just three years, from a nobody who first entered the Thousand Machines Pavilion, he has become the current Heavenly Retreat Domain Lord. If it was really as lucky as he said, this Thousand Machines Pavilion would have collapsed long ago. Cang Wunian nodded, and his calm face made An Ruyue unsure of his attitude towards that young man for a while.

"I see that it says that martial arts are second-class and mana ding is intermediate, how is this divided and defined?" An Ruyue asked, pointing to the last few golden words of Qingci's information in mid-air.

"In the Thousand Machines Pavilion, each member's martial arts and mana will be divided into four classes according to their strength: A, B, C, and D, among which there are upper, middle, and lower levels. This second-class superior martial arts can be regarded as a second-rate master in the world, as for the mana ......" Cang Wunian explained to the end, but frowned slightly.

"Grade D is medium, I guess it's about the same as those bull-nosed Taoist priests who fool the common people, right?" An Ruyue said with a smile staring at those four words.

"Two years ago, he brought back a piece of information about the demon clan, so he was unusually promoted from a nobody to the altar master of a branch of the Heavenly Retreat Domain. However, as far as I know, he did not make any outstanding contributions later, but he was able to become Mo Sandao's right protector, and I am really a little curious, what is so great about him. Cang Wunian stared at the words in the air and said thoughtfully.

"Judging from the information he recorded above, it is estimated that his most remarkable place should be a secret weapon. Saying that, An Ruyue couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.

She laughed because she didn't even believe it. Not to mention the Thousand Machine Pavilion, there are not a few ordinary Jianghu sects who are good at using secret weapons, the background information of this Qingci is so brief, isn't there nothing else to record, so I deliberately left the "Good Secret Weapon" this pen?

"Let's go. Cang Wunian didn't answer, and with a wave of his hand, he took back the token in mid-air.

......

In the evening, Cang Wunian stood in front of the rockery in the front yard of the owner's mansion. Since there were still fourteen domain masters outside to carry out important tasks when Gu Wentian announced that he would hand over the Thousand Machine Pavilion to him yesterday, he had been here since he came back from the Thousand Flowers Tower at noon, receiving the news from the various domain masters outside.

"Pavilion Master, so you are here!" Miao Lan's voice suddenly sounded behind her, as if she was trotting all the way, and her aura was a little messy at this time.

Cang Wunian raised his hand and waved it, dispersing the light curtain in front of him, only then did he turn around and ask, "What's the matter?"

"A young man came to the house to look for you, saying that he had something important to discuss. He also said that his name was Qing Ci, and he was the domain master of the Heavenly Retreat Domain. Miao Lan smoothed her breath and said to Cang Wunian.

Qing Ci?

"Where are the others now?" asked Cang Wunian in a deep voice.

"He ......"

"I'm here!"

As soon as Miao Lan wanted to answer, a crisp and hearty voice came from outside the door.

The two subconsciously looked towards the door, and saw the scholar-like young man stepping over the threshold and walking in.

"Subordinate Qing Ci, I've seen the pavilion master!" Qing Ci walked in front of Cang Wunian and saluted with a fist.

"No need to be polite. Cang Wunian glanced at him lightly, and turned to Miao Lan and said, "You go back first." ”

After Miao Lan left, Cang Wunian put his eyes back on Qing Ci again, but faintly with a sense of scrutiny. But Qing Ci didn't seem to feel it at all, and there was always a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth.

"It's important, but it doesn't hurt to say it. After a long time, Cang Wunian asked.

It seems that he has been waiting for Cang Wunian to say this sentence for a long time, and as soon as the words fell, Qing Ci grinned and smiled: "Don't hide it from the pavilion master, Qing Ci is here to give a gift to the pavilion master this time." I'm not familiar with the life in this Thousand Machines Villa, so I feel that I have the most love with the pavilion master, and I hope that the pavilion master will give more support to the younger brother in the future!"

If Cang Wunian had a sip of tea in his mouth at this time, he was afraid that he would either choke himself, or he would spray the other party's face very ungracefully. It's not that he hasn't seen how the middle and lower levels in the officialdom in the human world nod their heads and bow when they give gifts to their superiors. But this is really the first time he has seen someone give gifts so insincerely, and he is so arrogant. And the other party obviously came empty-handed, as if he had brought some kind of courtesy.

As if seeing Cang Wunian's suspicions, Qing Ci took another step forward, approached him, and whispered: "Hehe, this gift is a bit big, and it's inconvenient to carry it with you." So I dare to ask the pavilion master to deign to move to the Tianhui Mansion and have dinner together by the way......"

Looking at the young man in front of him with a sincere smile, Cang Wunian suddenly wanted to pick his face with a dagger to see if it would be so thick and hard that he couldn't see blood. Shouldn't anyone who gives a gift say, "A mere gift is not a respect"? This is a good remark, but he even brazenly says that the gift he gave is valuable.
