Chapter 344 The Imperial Astronomical Bureau

Chapter 344 Qin Tian Jian

"Chen Xuan, are you hungry? I have bread and sausages."

"Are you thirsty? I have drinks."

"Oh my, after sitting on the bus for so long, don't your shoulders ache? Isn't your back tired? Let me give you a massage..."

Xu Jiaojiao, sitting beside him, her pretty face with a smile like a blooming flower, quickly leaned over, showing concern and asking about his well-being with great enthusiasm. Her attitude was a complete reversal from her cold demeanor earlier.

"Thank you, I'm fine," Chen Xuan waved his hand.

Chen Xuan's lukewarm attitude only spurred Xu Jiaojiao on. She kept trying to curry favor with him, practically offering to sleep with him.

You Ruolong, seeing that Xu Jiaojiao, whom he could never win over, was now fawning over Chen Xuan, was furious.

At this moment, Xu Jiaojiao, feigning casualness, softly asked, "Chen Xuan, you truly are a hero at a young age. I never expected that you, at such a young age, could create the feng shui grand array outside the Qingwu Mountain villa!"

Chen Xuan understood why Xu Jiaojiao was being so attentive; she believed he was the one who set up the feng shui grand array outside the villa.

If he hadn't seen through Xu Jiaojiao's character, Chen Xuan would not only have admitted it but even taught her some techniques. However, now, he had no intention of revealing any information.

"How could I possibly set up such a powerful feng shui grand array? You must have made a mistake," Chen Xuan said casually, waving his hand.

"No way?"

Xu Jiaojiao's expression stiffened, but she didn't believe him and continued to press.

Chen Xuan firmly denied it.

Xu Jiaojiao's pretty face darkened.

Alas, what a waste of my time!

Although Chen Xuan was a feng shui master highly regarded by Elder Xiao, she, Xu Jiaojiao, was also a genius feng shui master. If it weren't to investigate that mysterious feng shui master, she wouldn't bother flattering Chen Xuan like this.

Xu Jiaojiao's face turned cold, and she stopped paying attention to Chen Xuan, even showing a hint of disdain and contempt.

Chen Xuan, on the other hand, felt a sense of relaxed pleasure, as if he had swatted away a fly. His mind raced, and he turned to Teacher Gong and said, "Teacher Gong, are we going to talk about the ancient ruins?"

Teacher Gong smiled and nodded, discussing the ancient ruins with Chen Xuan.

They chatted a lot along the way, and Chen Xuan finally learned that the ancient ruins had not yet opened, but they would open in the next day or two. Once the ancient ruins opened, they would be the first to arrive.

Chen Xuan was most curious as to why a feng shui master was needed for the expedition into the ancient ruins. However, Chen Xuan also got the answer from Teacher Gong.

Inside the ancient ruins, for some unknown reason, a feng shui grand array had been set up, and many strange and bizarre events had occurred. Without a feng shui master, entering the ancient ruins would be a near-death experience.

The purpose of this trip to the ancient ruins was simple: that sacred medicine that could extend one's lifespan!

"Do you have any other questions?" Teacher Gong asked with a smile.

"Who exactly are you people?"

Chen Xuan stared intently at Teacher Gong, his eyes flashing with curiosity.

"Haha, it seems Brother Su's secrecy work is quite good," Teacher Gong was taken aback, seemingly surprised by Chen Xuan's question, and chuckled.

"Is this a secret?"

Teacher Gong smiled, "Since you are also a member of our team, there's nothing to keep secret."

Under Chen Xuan's curious gaze, Teacher Gong solemnly said, "Qin Tian Jian!"

Three words, yet they resounded with power!

Chen Xuan's eyes also narrowed!

After sending Chen Xuan to the Su family villa in Qingwu Mountain, Teacher Gong and his group did not stay at the villa but went to a pre-booked hotel. To maintain communication, they also left Chen Xuan's phone number.

Chen Xuan stood outside the Su family villa, watching the Mercedes-Benz car speeding away, a strange feeling in his heart.

So it was Qin Tian Jian. No wonder the Su family in the capital was so reserved towards his future father-in-law, and even Dark Blood, out of fear of Qin Tian Jian, dared not show themselves during Su Qian's time in Jiangzhou.

In terms of mystery, Qin Tian Jian was even more mysterious than his previous team.

The so-called Qin Tian Jian, from ancient times to modern times, had a presence in imperial courts and in the wilderness.

Qin Tian Jian not only understood astronomy and geography, observed celestial phenomena, calculated the solar terms, and formulated the calendar but was also a Taoist cultivator who dispelled demons and evil spirits and solved problems for the royal family.

However, in ancient times, with the changes of dynasties, Qin Tian Jian remained unbroken and always appeared in the imperial court.

During the Qin and Han dynasties, it was called the Grand Astrologer. In the Tang Dynasty, it was called the Censorate. In the Five Dynasties and early Song, it was called the Astronomical Bureau. In the Yuanfeng era, it was called the Imperial Astronomical Office... The Ming Dynasty continued to use the Astronomical Bureau, and later changed it to Qin Tian Jian. It was still called Qin Tian Jian in the Qing Dynasty!

Nowadays, Qin Tian Jian observes the feng shui of the nation and determines the safety of the world!

......

Chen Xuan turned and entered the villa, only to see Zhao Jing, Su Yunxi's best friend, standing inside the villa, looking at him with a smile, her eyes showing a hint of fatigue.

"Chen Xuan, long time no see!"

Chen Xuan was not surprised by Zhao Jing's appearance. She was probably here for the ancient ruins as well. He smiled and said, "Are the ancient ruins about to open?"

Zhao Jing smiled sweetly and nodded, "The ancient ruins will open within a day or two."

Chen Xuan nodded, realizing that Teacher Gong had not lied to him.

"Chen Xuan, this trip to the ancient ruins might be troublesome. I advise you not to go. While the sacred medicine is precious, it's not worth mentioning compared to your life," Zhao Jing sighed, as if recalling something, and said earnestly.

"Oh? What's wrong?" Chen Xuan raised an eyebrow.

"From what I know, the Su family from the capital will also send people this time, and they are coming for you. If you enter the ancient ruins, the Su family from the capital might make a move against you..."

"Oh? Is that so?"

Chen Xuan asked indifferently.

"Are you planning not to go?"

"No, I'm going on this trip."

Chen Xuan's calm tone made Zhao Jing slightly stunned.

However, she thought that even though Chen Xuan was powerful, the leader of the Su family's team from the capital this time was a fourth-grade internal force grandmaster. No matter how capable Chen Xuan was, he would probably not be their match. She immediately thought Chen Xuan was boasting.

"Go if you want, or don't!"

Seeing that Chen Xuan was ignoring her, Zhao Jing's face turned red with anger. She stomped her high heels and rushed into the main hall.

Chen Xuan chuckled wryly and climbed the steps.

When he entered the villa's main hall, he saw Zhao Jing chatting animatedly with Su Yunxi. Chen Xuan could guess with his toes that Zhao Jing was likely complaining about him to Su Yunxi.

"Hmph!"

Zhao Jing saw Chen Xuan walk in, crossed her arms, and seemed to be waiting for a good show.

You think you're so clever, let's see how Yunxi scolds you like a grandson.

"Chen Xuan, are you really confident you can get that sacred medicine?" Su Yunxi frowned, her beautiful eyes flashing with concern.

Chen Xuan said slowly, "Yunxi, don't worry, I won't act recklessly. I'm still waiting to get married."

Su Yunxi gave Chen Xuan a big roll of her eyes and said playfully, "You're still talking nonsense at a time like this. Then be careful."

"Haha, I know!" Chen Xuan laughed.

Zhao Jing was furious upon hearing this and said indignantly,

"Yunxi, you don't believe him too, do you?"

"If he had such great ability, why would he come to your Su family as a live-in son-in-law?"

"Even if he is a young genius, the people coming this time are from the Su family in the capital, not some second or third-rate internal force grandmasters like the Tang family in the Central Plains, but true powerhouses."

"Besides the Tang family in the Central Plains, there are also official mysterious organizations like Qin Tian Jian. You may not be able to get that sacred medicine, so why take the risk?"

Su Yunxi also showed a trace of worry upon hearing this, but finally gritted her teeth and said, "Chen Xuan, I believe you!"

"Yunxi, you've always been shrewd, how can you be so foolish..." Zhao Jing couldn't understand why Su Yunxi would make such a foolish decision.

"Remember to notify me when you're leaving," Chen Xuan said with a smile and went upstairs to his bedroom.

Only Zhao Jing was left standing there dumbfounded, lost for words.
