At night, the stars and moon were dim, and the fog was thick.

Xu Qi ‘an carried Zhong Li on his back and looked down at the capital city from the sky. The largest city in the world was hidden in the darkness.

An elevated bonfire was set up every 20 steps on the horse Road of the city wall for illumination. In addition, the candles in the Imperial Palace, the Imperial City, and the inner city were quite bright.

“It’s so beautiful.” Zhong Li, who was lying on his back, murmured.

“Can’t the eight trigrams stage of the Imperial astronomer see such a night view?” Xu Qi ‘an said with a smile.

“I can’t believe it’s so beautiful. Furthermore, teacher has to observe the sky at night. At this time, we are not allowed to go up the eight trigrams stage, except for Caiwei.” Zhong Li said regretfully.

“Why can Caiwei do it?” Xu Qi ‘an was surprised.

…….. You’re talking bad about Cai Wei? I didn’t expect you to be like this, Zhong Li. Well, with the character of this unlucky fifth Senior Sister, she should be telling the truth …

“Perhaps it’s because she’s the youngest and stupidest, so the teacher is particularly fond of her.” Zhong Li guessed.

…….. You’re talking bad about Cai Wei? I didn’t expect you to be like this, Zhong Li. Well, with the character of this unlucky fifth Senior Sister, she should be telling the truth … It seemed that the Directorate of Celestials had acknowledged that Cai Wei’s brain wasn’t too smart.

Xu Qi ‘an changed the topic and said in a low voice, “”In my dream, I saw a city. Every night, there would be lamps lit up on the streets, and the dense mist would coil around every corner of the city.

“In my dream, I saw a city that was filled with tall buildings like the stargazing tower, which emitted rays of light of various colors.

I saw a city in my dream. There were glowing carriages moving through the streets. The whole city was bright and dazzling, and the candlelight did not stop until dawn.

Zhong Li was a little dazed, she mumbled, “”That must be the immortal land.”

Xu Qi ‘an didn’t answer. He just smiled, but there was nostalgia and sadness in his smile.

The flying sword and paper crane didn’t land immediately. Instead, they hovered in the air outside the city for a moment. This was similar to knocking on the door, giving the astrologers and experts of the capital a chance to react.

He wanted to let them know that they weren’t enemies, but allies.

If they landed suddenly without saying a word, the experts in the capital would probably attack them.

The flying sword and paper crane landed in a secluded alley not far from the city gate. Everyone cupped their hands and bid farewell. The unconscious Lina was taken away by Daoist priest Golden Lotus, who would be looking after her for the time being. After all, Golden Lotus was the leader of the Tiandi society.

He should be the one to take this responsibility.

Xu Qi ‘an carried Zhong Li to the guards at the city gate.

There was a fine horse with a strong body and graceful curves.

Last night, he had left the city with the Golden Lotus Daoist priest and the others. He had also brought the little mare with him and handed it over to the patrolling Imperial saber guards on the way. He had them help him place it at the city gate and let the soldiers guard the city.

“Little mare, your Needle Man is back.”

Xu Qi ‘an touched the little mare’s neck, untied the reins, and rode back to the inner city with Zhong Li.
