Chapter 934: Chapter 622: Turns out to be the Disciple of the National Master, The Identity of Feng Qingyan_2

Xiao Jinyan glanced at the door, then looked at Lu Zhaoyan again, "This palace certainly won’t be discussing these matters with him, but you still need to be cautious. After all, you can’t wrap fire in paper."

Lu Zhaoyan acknowledged, "This servant understands. This servant will not mention a single word in front of Weichi."

Xiao Jinyan smiled and said nothing.

After they finished their official duties, Xiao Jinyan and Lu Zhaoyan came out one after the other, only to find that Weichi had already left.

It was not yet time for lunch when they arrived at the East Palace. Jun Moqing was teaching Taotao martial arts, which mainly involved practicing basic skills. The exercise they did most was horse stance, to strengthen the lower body.

The path to martial mastery is long, and practicing the basics is most important.

Susu occasionally copied Taotao’s moves to practice the horse stance, but she lacked Taotao’s perseverance and soon went to play with the tiger-lion beast, Dabai.

When Xiao Jinyan arrived, Jun Moqing was sitting at a table drinking tea. He approached and greeted him, "Father."

Calling him father along with the ninth made him feel a bit more affectionate.

Just the sight of the National Master’s back allowed Lu Zhaoyan to recognize him, and following Xiao Jinyan closer confirmed his thoughts. He couldn’t help but feel excited.

He strode forward and knelt on the ground with a "thump," "Master."

Xiao Jinyan saw Lu Zhaoyan kneel at a moment’s notice, and hearing that word "Master," he suddenly seemed to understand.

Jun Moqing looked up indifferently at Lu Zhaoyan, "Rise."

"Thank you, Master," Lu Zhaoyan stood up from the ground, excitedly looking at Jun Moqing, "If I had known Master was in Daxia, I would’ve visited you earlier to pay my respects."

Jun Moqing asked, "How is your learning coming along?"

Jun Moqing’s acceptance of Lu Zhaoyan as an apprentice had also been an accident. Lu Zhaoyan knew something about observing stars at night to determine fortune, a talent impressive even in modern times.

He discovered that Lu Zhaoyan had a bit of a gift for divination and palm reading, and since he had no other disciples, he decided to take him on as one.

Lu Zhaoyan humbly replied, "Thanks to Master’s concern, this disciple is working hard in this area and has made some breakthroughs."

Jun Moqing simply nodded indifferently, "Hmm."

Lu Zhaoyan hadn’t expected the revered leader of the Dark Sect to be the National Master, and he regretted having missed so much time with his master while he was absorbed in private studies.

Lu Zhaoyan chatted with his master for a while and then left. He knew his master enjoyed peace and did not like to be disturbed.

After coming out from the Hehuan Hall, Xiao Jinyan said, "I never expected that Lord Lu’s master would be father. Why haven’t I heard you mention this before?"

Lu Zhaoyan replied, "Your Highness, my master is the esteemed leader of the Dark Sect. How could I casually speak of my master’s name?"

Xiao Jinyan nodded, "That makes sense."

No wonder every time Lu Zhaoyan left, he required so much time.

After leaving the East Palace, Lu Zhaoyan returned to his own residence, and as soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Weichi standing at the door.

Having met with his master today, Lu Zhaoyan was in great spirits, a smile playing at the corners of his mouth, "Weichi, what brings you here?"

With a dark expression, Weichi grabbed Lu Zhaoyan’s shoulder firmly, looking ready to start a fight.

Lu Zhaoyan faintly sensed something off about Weichi but ignored it due to his good mood.

"I’m feeling good today, Weichi. Would you like to join me for a drink?"

Thinking about how long he’d been deceived by Lu Zhaoyan made Weichi clench his teeth in anger. He replied with a grim face, "Sure, let’s have a drink."

Lu Zhaoyan had his servants prepare some dishes and warm a pot of wine.

The two sat at the dining table.

Feeling cheerful, Lu Zhaoyan picked up the wine pot and poured Weichi a glass, then poured one for himself.

With a frosty look, Weichi asked the beaming Lu Zhaoyan, "What makes Lord Lu so happy today?"

"Today is indeed a happy day." Lu Zhaoyan raised his glass to clink with Weichi’s, then brought it to his lips and drank it down in one gulp.

Weichi was not pleased. Anyone would be upset to be deceived for so long. After knowing someone for so long, couldn’t he speak a single word of truth?

For two years, he always thought the problem was with him, so he dared not harbor those thoughts.

Qin Xiao was getting married at the beginning of the next month, and as brothers who had been through life and death together, he was genuinely happy for him.

Seeing Weichi holding his glass unenthusiastically, Lu Zhaoyan prompted him, "Drink up."

Weichi looked down at the wine in his glass and then drank it all in one go.

Lu Zhaoyan immediately refilled Weichi’s glass, "Qin Xiao is getting married at the start of next month. You should hurry up and find someone too."

Actually, Lu Zhaoyan just wanted Weichi to give it a try. His calculations weren’t 100% accurate; maybe there was still room for change?

Weichi’s face darkened even more upon hearing this. He felt that Lu Zhaoyan was doing it on purpose, knowing full well the reason for his lack of children and yet still choosing to taunt him.
