In front of the Red Fort in the Barren Villa, Yu Shiqi unexpectedly met Bai Yi.

Thinking of the fact that it was not pleasant to be in the Western Wilderness before, Yu Shiqi was still a little nervous when facing Bai Yi, and saluted him seriously: "The Master of the Sect."

"Yu Yanzhi, I have resigned from the acting chief of the sect leader to the sect leader."

What Bai Yi said made Yu Shiqi stunned. It took a long time to come back to his senses: "Why... is this?"

Bai Yi shook his head and did not explain much. Instead, he looked at the strange face behind Yu Shiqi: "What are these three?"

"This is Mr. Xu Jingkong, a master of secret arts who has returned from Yunlu's study tour. The two behind him are his students." Yu Shiqi introduced on both sides, "Mr. Xu, this is... the original leader of Bai Yi, our desolate sect."

Xu Jingkong politely bowed to Bai Yi and greeted him: "I have met Master Bai."

"There is no major sect leader in the Desolate Sect for the time being, so Mr. Xu doesn't have to do this. Bai Yi deserves to be ashamed." Bai Yi returned the favor to Xu Jingkong.

"I heard that the country must have a king and a family must have a master. Since the sect has not selected a new sect leader, why did the sect leader Bai resign himself from his position?" Xu Jingkong asked.

Bai Yi was silent for a moment and replied: "Bai believed that he was not worthy of his position. He had made a big mistake before. This time, he resigned. As for what Mr. Xu said, the country should not be without a monarch or a lord for a day. If there is a lord in the desolate sect, it will not have much impact on the whole even if he loses the sect leader."

"Well said, the country cannot be without a king for a day." A clear voice suddenly came from the conference hall, and Bai Yi, Yu Shiqi and others were slightly stunned.

Yu Shiqi looked up at Bai Yi and saw a middle-aged man wearing Chenlin high-level military officer uniform slowly walking out of the Red Fort Council Hall, followed by two military officers wearing flying fish uniforms and brocade clothes.

Bai Yi hurriedly turned around and bowed to him, saying solemnly: "Director Zheng."

"This is the new director of the Imperial Department of the Kyokura, Lord Zheng Lichen."

After hearing Bai Yi's introduction, Yu Shiqi and Wei Qiutong naturally knew the pros and cons, and immediately bowed to Zheng Lichen. After all, the Yuwu Department was ordered to control all matters in the martial arts world, and all the famous and upright sects were under their jurisdiction. Yun Zhongjian also had to directly negotiate with the Yuwu Department for activities in the capital, and the two sides were considered old superiors and subordinates.

Zheng Lichen smiled and waved his hands to Bai Yi and others to show tolerance and mercy, but his eyes inadvertently glanced at Xu Jingkong and his disciples who had no expression. The officer of the Jinyi Guard standing beside him shouted, "Who are the three of them? Why not salute the director?"

Xu Jingkong smiled faintly and nodded slightly at Zheng Lichen.

The officer of the Jinyi Guard was still dissatisfied and turned to Bai Yi and asked, "These three people don't look like subordinates of the Desolate Sect, where did they come from?"

"Come from Yunlu." Xu Jingkong answered actively.

"Envoyee of the Cold Spring Kingdom?" The officer of the Jinyi Guard was slightly relaxed.

Although Chen Lin and Leng Quan fought two major battles in the past, and were known in history as the two Linquan Wars, the other side was a great country that unified Yunlu on the other side of Canglang Sea. If these people were envoys sent by Leng Quan, the officers of the Jinyi Guard would naturally not dare to act rashly.

"No, I'm just a traveler who returns from Yunlu."

It turned out that it was not the Lengquan Envoy... The face of the officer of the Jinyi Guard suddenly became ugly again, but when he heard Zheng Lichen coughing twice, he stopped talking tactfully.

"Can anyone visit the Desolate Sect come here? Yes, after all, the noble Sect is not an official government office." Zheng Lichen said in an yin and yang tone.

Yu Shiqi heard that he had a thorn in his words and pointed out that the Wild Sect was slackening and had no rules. He quickly explained: "Director Zheng, I invited Mr. Xu to come."

Zheng Lichen glanced at Yu Shiqi and laughed exaggeratedly: "Who are you?"

"Yu Yanzhi, the sword in the cloud."

"It sounds a little familiar." Zheng Lichen frowned slightly.

The officer of the Jinyiwei Guard on the side whispered: "It was the sect leader who mentioned the Yunzhongjian who killed several unforgivable evils at the meeting."

"Oh!" Zheng Lichen looked happy, "It's true that a young hero."

"Director Zheng has over-rewarded."

"The world is still not stable at the moment, and you still have to continue working hard." Zheng Lichen said.

Yu Shiqi and Wei Qiutong could only lower their heads and clasp their fists and say yes.

Bai Yi then proposed to take Zheng Lichen to the villa elsewhere and took him away with two officers of the Jinyi Guard. After the four of them walked away, Yu Shiqi and Wei Qiutong, who were left in the same place, breathed a sigh of relief.

"How come the Director of the Imperial Martial Department suddenly left Beijing and ran to the Desolate Sect?" Wei Qiutong asked strangely.

"I don't know either." Yu Shiqi also wanted to know the reason.

Xu Jingkong took two steps forward and said to them: "Chen Lin is about to establish a new emperor. Regent Mu Qingxuan will hold a ceremony to receive the crown. Director Zheng is his confidant and has taken over the imperial military department. It seems that the court still attaches great importance to the Desolate Sect. This time he comes here to communicate with you in advance."

"How do you know..." Wei Qiutong stopped halfway through the question. She shrugged: "Mr. Xu's mind reading skills are indeed amazing."

Yu Shiqi was also secretly surprised. It was not because Xu Jingkong used mind reading skills to Zheng Lichen, but because he heard that Mu Qingxuan was about to be crowned. He suddenly remembered Xiao Xihong and the little princess who were helping to escape in the imperial capital. He didn't know where they were and whether they were safe at this time.

Fortunately, I didn't see the government sending a wanted document for pursuit. If the two of them could hide their names and not reveal their true identities, Yu Shiqi would not be worried that he would not be able to protect the little princess with Xiao Xihong's ability.

But I couldn't help but feel a little emotional in my heart. One was a famous general, the other was an emperor and noble, but in the end they were all fallen into the world.

"By the way, Young Master Yu, I actually read the thoughts of Master Bai just now." Xu Jingkong smiled embarrassedly.

Yu Shiqi was stunned for a moment and shook his head and said, "Mr. Bai's Sect Master is studying, please go to school. Don't tell us."

"It's related to you." Xu Jingkong said, "He originally wanted to say something to you, but it was interrupted by Zheng Lichen's appearance. Besides, I have read the person he mentioned in your heart before."

“Huh?”

"An Nianjiu." Xu Jingkong said that name to him.

Yu Shiqi was stunned and didn't hear Wei Qiutong sarcastically say in a sour tone: "Young Master Yu is broad-minded and there are so many people who can let go."

"What's wrong with An Nianjiu?" Yu Shiqi asked nervously.

"What Bai Yi wants to tell you is that during the time you left, An Nianjiu successfully attacked Xiao Ponu, the Wanli Poxing." Xu Jingkong said.

Yu Shiqi breathed a sigh of relief and said happily: "Good thing! In this way, we should focus on dealing with the people of the Dragon Blood God Sect in the future..."

"But." Xu Jingkong interrupted him with a serious expression, "An Nianjiu is injured, Bai Yi thinks you should visit her."

Yu Shiqi's expression instantly turned worried: "Where is she?"

"I haven't read this." Xu Jingkong shook his head.
