Chapter 383: Naughty!
When the reckless young man heard Chen Changan's order, he was about to respond.
Suddenly, a light laugh came from the side, and the words were spoken with unquestionable majesty: "Chen Changan, I'm right here, why bother looking for me?"
Chen Changan looked up with a sneer and saw the Taoist priest with white hair and a youthful face.
He was dressed in a Taoist robe as white as snow, and his sleeves fluttered gently in the wind, like a slowly drifting cloud.
His face is thin, yet reveals an otherworldly tranquility.
His white hair fell on his shoulders like a silver waterfall, and his beard flowed elegantly on his chest, adding a bit of immortal air.
He came floating in with a whisk in his left hand and a bell in his right hand.
Before Chen Changan could say anything, Xuan Qingzi stepped forward and saluted him: "Palace Master, Chen Changan is eloquent, confusing right and wrong, and slandering Shangqing Palace as a traitor!"
"Please let the Palace Master decide how to decide!"
The Palace Master just nodded and looked at Zhao Qingcheng with a stern gaze.
The Palace Master was like a kind father and also like a strict teacher to her, and Zhao Qingcheng was instinctively a little afraid of him.
She wanted to kneel down and salute the Palace Master, but Chen Changan supported her and said, "Qingcheng, it is inconvenient for you to move. I have the Heavenly Power Order with me. You don't have to kneel down when you see anyone."
Zhao Qingcheng shook her head, and the Palace Master walked up to Zhao Qingcheng.
"Is this the father of the evil creature in your belly? Qingcheng, for him, have you even forgotten the heaven, earth, the emperor, your parents and your teacher?"
Zhao Qingcheng quickly shook his head, but Chen Changan stood in front of him.
"Niubizi, you still have the nerve to talk about heaven, earth, emperor, parents and teachers. How can you treat your own disciple like this?"
Chen Changan was naturally a little angry: "Let's not talk about the damn soul-chasing bell for now. Valuable Qingcheng insisted on leaving Shangqing Palace. Are you going to kill her?"
"Also, you said that the fetus in Qingcheng's belly is an evil beast. I think you are a group of evil beasts!"
Chen Changan actually pointed at the nose and scolded the Palace Master of Shangqing Palace. How could this be allowed!
"How dare you! Don't be rude to the Palace Master!"
"You are just a brat. The Palace Master is old enough to be your grandfather, and yet you still don't apologize to the Palace Master!"
"Otherwise, you can't get out of here!"
Chen Changan laughed wildly: "Fools, have you forgotten that there are explosives buried in Shangqing Palace? I have never been out!"
"I am not afraid to say it out loud today. You have all been deceived by this Palace Master!"
"Given his age, he must know what the inscription means, but he deliberately didn't say it out loud, hoping to use you to fight against the court!"
"Not only you are being used by him, there must be many people in the court, even Prince Jing'an is being used by him!"
"Religion is a means of rebellion, do you understand?"
After Chen Changan said this, all the students hesitated again.
In order to protect the palace master's innocence, Xuan Qingzi said: "Chen Changan, don't rely on your eloquence to talk nonsense here!"
"Everything the Palace Master has done is worthy of heaven and earth, and he is begging for the people!"
"What a great phrase for pleading for the people!" Chen Changan actually laughed out loud.
"Ten years ago, Jiangzhou was hit by a major epidemic. Countless people were displaced and arrived at Shangqing Palace for help. But what did you do?"
"You said that this was a disaster sent by heaven and had nothing to do with Shangqing Palace. You are happy to see the untouchables die miserably!"
"I don't know if it was the Lord of Shangqing Palace who said that, but he must know it!"
"Five years ago, there was a flood in the nearby Baidu City. There were victims everywhere, starving people everywhere, and the imperial treasury was empty. But at this time, you asked the imperial court for 3,000 dan of grain!"
"They call it paying tribute to heaven and earth, but in reality they are using it to amass wealth!"
"Then I want to ask, is this what you are doing to be worthy of heaven and earth, and to plead for the people?"
"Don't always act so high and mighty, as if everyone owes you money. Let me ask you, are you fucking worthy of it?"
Every word Chen Changan said was powerful and he took a step forward after finishing his words!
The palace master was frightened by his aura and stepped back.
The Palace Master was speechless and shook his head and said, "Chen Changan, today I said you took Zhao Qingcheng away, but it has nothing to do with other things."
"Yeah, I didn't want to say it either, it was your people who said I was talking bullshit!"
Chen Changan said calmly: "Shangqing Palace Master, I tell you, either you let Zhao Qingcheng and I leave, or we will both die here!"
"Chen Changan has long since put life and death aside!"
The Lord of Shangqing Palace shook his head: "Neither of them is what I want."
"Don't say anything yet. Zhao Qingcheng is the heir of Shangqing Palace. After careful consideration, I think you are right. I did see the clues of the handwriting left by the late emperor."
"I want to hand over Shangqing Palace to Zhao Qingcheng. As the emperor's guard, Zhao Qingcheng will definitely lead Shangqing Palace onto the right path."
Chen Changan shook his head and chuckled: "Palace Master, I have made my words so clear, can you please stop teasing me?"
"If that's the case, you're not trying to win over Prince Jing'an."
"What you're thinking is that if Prince Jing'an succeeds in seizing the throne, you can become the emperor emeritus. Even if you fail, you can use Zhao Qingcheng as a shield, right?"
When people reach old age, they can give up anything except power.
The Lord of Shangqing Palace did not argue with Chen Changan on this topic: "That is just your wishful thinking. I have a clear conscience."
"Qingcheng, I just want to ask you, did you make a vow at the beginning?"
Chen Changan frowned, and Zhao Qingcheng sighed: "Yes, I did swear that year that I would never fall in love for the rest of my life, and would always put Shangqing Palace first in everything."
Hearing Zhao Qingcheng's admission, *** hurriedly pulled her back.
How can you admit this at a time like this?
Zhao Qingcheng knew ***'s good intentions, but still shook her head and said, "***, when Qingcheng made the oath, many people were there, and she couldn't escape."
Chen Changan also shrugged and said, "Qingcheng, don't be afraid, I will always be there for you."
Chen Changan patted his chest and continued to face the Lord of Shangqing Palace.
The Lord of Shangqing Palace shook his head and smiled: "Chen Changan, you heard it clearly, it was Zhao Qingcheng who said to stay."
"If you break your oath, aren't you afraid of being pierced by thousands of arrows?"
Chen Changan yawned: "It's indeed a little scary, but I have to ask... Qingcheng, how old were you when you made this oath?"
Zhao Qingcheng remembered it clearly: "Six years old, my sixth year in Shangqing Palace."
"Palace Master, is that so?"
The Lord of Shangqing Palace immediately knew what Chen Changan was going to say and did not speak.
"If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your acquiescence."
Chen Changan didn't want to spoil him anymore. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Wang Wenchang, tell me, what were you doing when you were six years old?"
Wang Wenchang also rushed to the crowd. Seeing Chen Changan asking questions, he lowered his head and said, "Enter the private school and study."
Chen Changan shook his head and chuckled: "That's not what I'm asking about. If you've done anything naughty, tell us about it."
"Naughty...yes."
Wang Wenchang shook his head and said, "I remember the teacher asked us to recite an article, but I didn't recite it because I wanted to play around, so the teacher made me stand in front of all my classmates as punishment."
"I was so angry that I took advantage of the time when the master was using the toilet and threw a huge stone into the pit."
Chen Changan's eyes widened and everyone laughed out loud.
Scholars have a lot of ideas and can come up with such methods!
Chen Changan gave a thumbs up: "Wang Wenchang, you dare to speak the truth. I respect you as a man."
Chen Changan's attitude towards Wang Wenchang changed, and then he raised his eyebrows and said, "Shangqing Palace Master, did you hear everything?"
"Even Wen Zong's best disciple was naughty at the age of six. Why should my Qingcheng swear an oath?"
"This is a joke, it doesn't count!"
