When Xia Fan arrived, he saw the drunk Chen Huayi and the dazed youth standing by the side. When the two guards guarding the sword saw Pei Yun returning with his lord, they immediately let out a sigh of relief and hurriedly bowed to pay their respects.
Xia Fan frowned as he looked at the situation. He could not make up his mind at the moment. "What's the situation?"
The guard on the left said, "I don't know. The lord had a few words with him, and after a few drinks, he suddenly fell flat on the ground. He is standing right by our lord's side, and we do not dare to step forward. "
Xia Fan looked at Chen Huayi. Seeing that he didn't seem to have any plans, he felt slightly more at ease. He sized up the youngster and pondered on how he could rescue Chen Huayi in his entirety.
Hearing them speak, the youth actually foolishly pointed at the unconscious Chen Huayi, "If he's asleep, will he be frozen?"
Everyone was speechless.
Pei Yun asked cautiously, "Then can we take him away?"
The teenager nodded, "Of course, it's so cold. He's only wearing that little bit of clothes, I'm afraid he'll freeze to death soon. You guys should hurry up."
Pei Yun looked at Xia Fan and asked, "Master? Should I go and bring Master Chen back? "
Before Xia Fan could say anything, the youth raised his hand to rub his eyes, cheering out loud before pouncing towards him, "Master!"
Xia Cheng slid half a step back, unsheathed most of his sabre. "Don't act rashly!"
The youngster was startled and looked at him with a wronged expression. "Master, I'm Bai Bai, Bai Dongfang."
"I don't know anything about Dongfang Bai."
The young man who called himself Dongfang Bai revealed joy and anxiety on his face, as well as great grievance, "Master, did you forget? Ten years ago, you saved me from the hands of a group of bandits. Carrying me, you flew around while stepping on the treetops, and flew so far, so high! "
"Ten years ago? Ten years ago, he was only thirteen or fourteen. If he couldn't even fly, would he still be able to carry you? " Chen Huayi stood up shakily, flicked the dust off his clothes and broke his neck.
Dongfang Bai didn't actually feel curious about him standing up. He looked at him and then turned around, and took out a piece of jade from his chest pocket. "Look, this was given to me by Master. Don't you remember Master?"
It was a white jade. The color was not very good, but there were a few traces of blood within it, making it seem rather strange. The jade carving that was not too big was shaped like a crane, and it was exceptionally quiet as it folded its wings and lowered its head. Other than the jade being a little strange, there didn't seem to be anything strange about it.
"I don't know him. You got the wrong person."
"It can't be." Dongfang Bai moved closer to Xia Fan's face and carefully observed it. "You are my master!"
However, Chen Huayi's face suddenly turned pale, and his eyes revealed great shock. However, he quickly concealed his change and did not let anyone discover it. He took a deep breath, stealthily walked a few steps to the side, and stretched his neck so that he could clearly see the crane. He muttered in a low voice: "East, East …" He suddenly walked over and patted Dongfang Bai's shoulder. "Did your parents give you your name?"
Dongfang Bai was stunned. He didn't care at all about the hand around his neck. He shook his head and said, "No, my name was given to me by my master. My master said that I should be surnamed Dongfang. A great man stands between heaven and earth, he is pure and innocent, so he gave me the name Dongfang Bai. "
Chen Huayi nodded his head and did not ask any further questions. Instead, he looked at the Immortal Crane in his hand and asked, "May I take a look at this?"
Dongfang Bai gripped the jade carving tightly and hesitated for a moment before slightly opening his hands. "You can look, but you can only let me hold it. Take a look."
Chen Huayi took half a step back and nodded his head, "En, I only want to see, it's not moving, is it?"
Dongfang Bai's curved eyes smiled and he really did open his hands for him to see. He was not worried at all that Chen Huayi would act and snatch it. He looked just like a naive youngster.
Chen Huayi looked at it seriously for a long time before nodding his head, "Alright, I've finished it. It's really pretty." You must care a lot about this little thing. It's well-preserved. "
When Dongfang Bai heard someone praise his jade carving, he happily nodded his head, "Mm, I like it the most. I've always carefully kept the things that master gave me." He couldn't help but look at Xia Fan, and his voice became a bit softer. "I just don't know where Master went, but he hasn't come back for a long time."
Chen Huayi asked, "Does your master look like him? "How old?"
Dongfang Bai squeezed his eyes and looked at Xia Chen with a serious expression for a while. Then, he nodded and said, "Although it's hard for me to remember a person, I definitely remember my master's face! If his master was still here, he would definitely look like this. "Eleven years ago, Master left in his twenties …"
Pei Yun couldn't help reminding him, "You just said that your master saved you ten years ago."
Dongfang Bai shook his head seriously, "No, master saved me twelve years ago. You remembered wrong when he left eleven years ago."
Chen Huayi replied, "Yes, it was twelve years ago. I also heard that it was twelve years ago. Continue to speak, what does your master look like? "
Dongfang Bai thought for a moment. "He's very tall, taller than most people. He likes to smile. It's very warm when he smiles, and he's very good-looking."
Chen Huayi glanced sideways at Xia Fan, who had a straight face and was two inches shorter than him. He then turned back to his eyes and asked, "Where is the weapon your master used?"
Dongfang Bai gestured a length of two feet. He was exceptionally happy, and his expression was a bit proud. "A red blade with white cloud patterns on it. It's especially beautiful, especially beautiful!"
Chen Huayi silently nodded his head as a trace of something flashed in his eyes, but he quickly hid it. He touched his white hair and said, "We caught you because you ran into the place where we sealed off the inner palace. Do you understand that this is against the law?"
Dongfang Bai immediately stopped laughing and listlessly lowered his head. His voice was as soft as the buzzing of mosquitoes. "Mm, I understand. I won't ever do that again."
Chen Huayi smiled in satisfaction and said, "That's right. Remember, don't do this again in the future. It will bring us a lot of trouble." You're not doing good, you're doing bad things. "
Dongfang Bai nodded repeatedly, "No way."
Chen Chengyi said, "That's right. Go back and have a good night's sleep. Tomorrow, I'll go ask the Lord to release you, okay?"
Dongfang Bai asked happily, "Can you let me go?"
Chen Huayi nodded. "Yes, we can leave tomorrow."
Dongfang Bai asked, "Then can I stay?"
"I can..." "Huh?" Chen Chengyi was completely stunned by him, "No, no, why did you stay?"
Dongfang Bai said, "You guys are so amazing, let me join you guys! I want to catch bad people too! "
Chen Huayi was silent for a moment. He reckoned that he could not explain himself so he simply replied half-heartedly, "Not everyone can enter the palace. I also do not know how you entered. If there's a chance, you can come in yourself. Now is not the time. The wife will not accept anyone. "
Dongfang Bai replied with an "oh", obviously believing him. He was clearly a bit disappointed. "Then do I have a chance in the future?"
Chen Chengyi said, "There is. As long as you want, there will definitely be."
Dongfang Bai nodded and yawned. His gaze immediately darkened. "Then I'll go back to sleep."
Chen Huayi was naturally happy. "Hurry up and go to rest. We'll be leaving first." He waved to the five guards who were standing off to the side. "Let's go?"
Pei Yun asked, "Don't we need to guard it?"
Chen Huayi glanced at him, then strode forward and said, "There's no need to look. Come with me first." Xia Fan didn't ask any further. Seeing that he wanted to go back, he took two steps back.
The four bodyguards looked at each other, seeing that the two lords had left, they had no choice but to follow.

"Mine is finally over. How much more do you have left?" Shen Yi Fan's tired yet happy voice sounded from within the house, followed by the sound of a book being thrown.
Han Yan wanted to be angry, but at the same time, he also wanted to laugh: "Who knows? Don't let me know who wrote this report. Who can read it? Just from this calligraphy, I must have taken a fancy to him at least three incense sticks worth of time! "
After a moment of silence, Shen Yifan consoled them, "The two of them still have some reports to report. At worst, we can just sleep a little later. I'll help you share some of it."
Han Yan felt a headache coming on. "I haven't written the coroner's report that our master asked me to prepare. I'll send it over tomorrow after it's finished …"
"I think you don't need to send me off. Young Prince, you need to come personally." Chen Huayi pushed open the door and walked in. He took off his muddy outer garment and threw it to the side, before directly collapsing onto the bed.
Han Yan shot him a glance, then got up and poured a cup of cold tea and passed it to him. "Have two sips of the Awakening Wine?" Seeing that the four guards were still standing there, he said, "Come in first, close the door. It's cold."
Shen Yifan lowered his head and took out a few crumpled papers from the papers on the table, "Are you coming, young prince? When will it be? I just happened to write a report for him. "
He lifted his eyes to look at the paper in Shen Yi Fan's hand. He did not know if he could see it clearly, but he fell back down and said, "I saw those pieces of paper of yours a few days ago. Why did you suddenly think of gifting them to me?"
Shen Yifan added another piece of paper from the sea of papers, "There's something that I couldn't figure out, and I've checked it again in the past few days."
Chen Huayi turned his body over and buried his face in the quilt as he asked in a muffled voice, "Are you planning to hand over that incomprehensible report of yours to the young prince?"
Shen Yi Fan looked at the paper in his hand, then looked at the few pieces of paper Han Li placed on the corner of the table. He smiled and said, "No, I think my calligraphy is good."
Han Yan nodded his head in approval. "That's right. Don't be afraid of being scolded. Saving your strength is your first goal."
After resting for a while, Chen Huayi stood up and raised his chin towards Pei Yun. "General Shen, he's from you Seven Kills, right?"
Shen Yi Fan pondered over this familiar question for a while, not realizing who else had asked, "Yes, the young general sent someone over."
Chen Huayi asked, "Is it possible for this person to get into the inner palace? Can you make the decision? "
"What?" Shen Yifan was momentarily at a loss as to what he was trying to say, "You've fallen for him?"
Chen Huayi nodded his head and looked at Pei Yun, "What's your name? How old is he this year? How many years has he been in Seven Kills? Do you have any special family members in the family? "
Pei Yun always felt that something bad was going to happen, but seeing that no one had the idea of helping him out, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and reply, "Reporting to my lord, I, Pei Yun, am 21 years old, and have been involved in seven battles for less than a year. I have no family members at home."
Chen Huayi followed up and asked, "Not a single one?"
Pei Yun nodded his head, "Yes."
A hint of a satisfied smile appeared on Chen Huayi's face. "That's great."
Han Yan, who had just taken a sip of water, nearly choked to death. He coughed for a long time before recovering, "Chen Huayi, what are you planning to do? Don't scare the children. "
Chen Huayi looked at him strangely and asked, "Child?" He's twenty-one. "
Han Yan raised his eyebrows, "Is there a problem?"
Chen Huayi pointed to his nose and said, "I'm only 22, how can there be no problems?"
Han Yan coldly laughed three times, "Do you think everyone is like you, living for a year to ten years? You can call me whatever you want, can't you? "
Chen Huayi rolled his eyes and simply ignored him. He looked at Pei Yun and asked, "Do you want to go to the inner palace? It's more fun than the Seven Deadly Slaughter. "
Pei Yun looked at him blankly for a long time, then laughed awkwardly: "Sir …" What do you mean? I don't seem to understand. "
Chen Chengyi said, "I had nothing better to do, but I suddenly want to take a disciple with me. If you're willing to come to the inner palace, then be my disciple."
Pei Yun was still in a daze, "Isn't entering the inner palace required an assessment? The next assessment should be two years later, right? "
Chen Chengyi said, "There's no need. My official position allows me to accept a disciple from both the inner and outer circle. Besides, you're the Seven Kills, so your identity is definitely not a problem."
Pei Yun asked, "You won't cause any trouble for me, right?"
Chen Huayi shook his head repeatedly, "No trouble, no trouble at all."
Han Yan interrupted, "That's enough, you have to wait until this matter is over before you can take in a disciple, right? Alright, all of you can go now.
Chen Huayi said in surprise, "Wait, I still have something to say."
Han Yan looked at him sideways. "Are you in a hurry?"
Chen Chengyi said, "It's not that urgent."
Han Yan tidied up the things on the table and got up to walk to his bed. "Then let's not talk about this anymore. Let's sleep first. If there's anything, we can leave it until tomorrow."
"Sigh!" Chen Huayi only had enough time to call out before Xia Fan and Shen Yifan went to pack up the things on their tables and put out the candles. Obviously, they did not intend to listen to him.
Pei Yun and his three bodyguards looked at each other, bowed and left.
Seeing that Han Yan was about to extinguish the last candle, Chen Huayi could not help but anxiously ask, "Can't you just listen to what I have to say?"
Han Yan decisively extinguished the candle. "Rest, we'll talk about it tomorrow!"
"That brat's surname is Dongfang!" "You know which east I'm talking about!"
Han Yan suddenly sat up, put on his boots and walked out. "Come out, let's talk."
Chen Huayi was slightly taken aback before he happily replied, "Alright!" He grabbed the coat on the floor and put it on before quickly following her out.
