Build the Traveler Alliance from Scratch.

Chapter 982 Yun Ye Breaks Through
Pregnant women always behave strangely, even Empress Changsun, the mother of the country, is no exception.

This is a tough time for today's chef Yun Ye, who not only has to use all his skills to prepare a delicious meal, but also has to endure the nagging of this noble pregnant woman beside him while he is busy.

That's right, after arriving at the Yun family, Empress Changsun took the initiative to go into the kitchen, saying that she wanted to learn some cooking skills from Yun Ye. As a result, it is not known whether she has learned any cooking skills, but problems arise one after another.

When Empress Chang Sun saw that Yun Ye only left the fish head and not the fish body when processing the silver carp, she became angry and felt that Yun Ye was neglecting her.

Seeing that the iron pot in the Yun family's kitchen was too black, Empress Changsun was disgusted, thinking that such a dirty pot would definitely not be able to make delicious food...

Just like that, amidst Empress Changsun's disgust and criticism, Yun Ye finished cooking a table full of dishes with sweat on his forehead, and directed the servants in the house to bring them to the dining table.

The table was full of dishes, all of which were Yun Ye’s specialties. Although they might not be considered anything in later generations, they had definitely not been developed in this era.

Especially the spicy and sour potato shreds served at the end. This was something Yun Ye brought from the future and presented to Li Er as a good omen a few years ago. The yield has just been tested and large-scale cultivation has not yet begun.

It can be said that this thing is a rare item in the Tang Dynasty.

Li Er even ranked it on par with brocade and gave it as a reward to ministers in the court.

Most of the dignitaries who received the reward regarded these potatoes as treasures and were reluctant to eat them, but Yun Ye knew that with the improved varieties of later generations he brought, this thing would be spread throughout the Tang Dynasty in a few years.

So far, only Yun Ye has come up with the idea of ​​eating early and enjoying early.

When others, even Empress Changsun, saw the plate of shredded potatoes, they couldn't help but blame Yun Ye for being extravagant and wasteful.

Of course, having said that, Yun Ye felt that Empress Changsun was still very happy. She might have felt that Yun Ye was showing respect for her by treating her with potatoes.

Unfortunately, she didn't know that this was a common dish in the Yun family, and the picky little girls in the family were almost tired of eating it...

Looking at the table full of colorful dishes, Yun Ye also felt his appetite growling.

He asked Xiao Ya to call Lin Zhongtian over, washed his hands, and sat on the chair.

Before he could pick up his chopsticks, Empress Changsun glanced at him and snorted, "Qingque bought this meal with one tael of silver. It's no problem for the two of us to eat it. What are you doing here?"

"Have you ever heard of a restaurant with a cook serving meals?"

Empress Changsun's sarcastic words choked Yun Ye so much that he rolled his eyes, but he didn't dare to complain. He could only glare at Li Tai, who was gloating and making faces at the other person, and then stood up with a depressed look.

Just then, Xiao Ya led Lin Zhongtian in jumping and skipping.

Empress Changsun looked over, and when she saw Lin Zhongtian, her eyes moved slightly, and then she smiled. She raised her hand to call the little girl over, touched her head, and asked questions in a soft voice.

The little girl was not afraid of people. She stood between Empress Changsun's knees, raised her head and started chatting with her.

After chatting for a few sentences, Empress Changsun seemed very satisfied with this girl. She kept mentioning that she had a son who was about the same age as the girl, that is, her third son Li Ke, and she vaguely meant to introduce them to each other.

Realizing this, Yun Ye became alarmed and immediately pretended to be stern, scolding the little girl for being rude to the queen.

"Who is being rude?" Empress Changsun rolled her eyes at Yun Ye. "I think the little girl is much more polite than you!"

The little girl chuckled, lay on Empress Changsun's legs, and blinked at Yun Ye.

Empress Changsun snorted lightly, then turned her gaze to Lin Zhongtian beside her, and said with a serious expression: "Mr. Lin."

Lin Zhongtian nodded and said with a smile: "Meet the Queen."

Empress Changsun smiled and said, "Sir, please don't be so polite. I heard from the little girl that you are teaching them martial arts?"

Lin Zhongtian smiled and said, "I have nothing to do, so I just do it as I please."

Yun Ye quickly added: "The Yun family has many female relatives and few males. If Xiaoya and the others learn some martial arts, they will be able to protect themselves in the future."

"Did I ask you?"

The queen rolled her eyes at Yun Ye, then turned to look at Lin Zhongtian and raised her hand politely: "Sir, please take a seat."

This sharp contrast in attitude made Yun Ye depressed. He could only give Lin Zhongtian a look that told him to deal with it himself, then dragged the little girl out of the room in shame.

Xiao Ya was a little reluctant, but she was still a little interested in the dishes on the table.

Fortunately, Yun Ye was well prepared. He found two large bowls, filled each with half a bowl of rice, and then put the leftovers that were left in the kitchen for the sake of presentation into the bowls, filling them up.

The little girl watched with shining eyes, and before Yun Ye could speak, she pointed to the bowl containing the pig's trotters.

Yun Ye chuckled and handed the bowl and chopsticks to Xiao Ya. The brother and sister sat in the kitchen and started to eat heartily.

During this time, Yun Ye heard Empress Zhang Sun's loud laughter in the house, and it seemed that she was having a good conversation with Li Tai and Lin Zhongtian.

Halfway through the meal, Lin Zhongtian was the first to get up and leave the table and go to the kitchen.

Yun Ye glanced at Lin Zhongtian, raised his hand to rub Xiao Ya's head, and asked her to go back to her room to eat.

After Xiaoya left, Yun Ye put down his bowl, looked at the situation outside the kitchen, and asked in a low voice: "How was it, what did you talk about?" Lin Zhongtian sat opposite him and said with a smile: "Nothing, just asked me about Li Tai's performance in the academy. I said that I am not a college teacher, but from what you said, Li Tai should be the best student of this year, and then she was very happy and felt honored."

Yun Ye was surprised and asked, "That's it?"

Lin Zhongtian shook his head and said, "Of course not only that, she also invited me to work in the academy, but I politely declined."

Yun Ye nodded and said, "I guess she would say that. After all, the emperor will be the dean in person in a while. By then, Yushan Academy will become the Royal Yushan Academy. The queen is targeting you!"

Lin Zhongtian smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. I have already refused this matter. Besides, I think the matter of the academy is just a side topic. What the Queen wants to know from me is actually another matter."

Yun Ye asked curiously, "What's the matter?"

Lin Zhongtian said softly: "She asked me for advice on the art of observing qi, and even gave me examples to ask for my explanation. After listening to her description, I concluded that it was the qi of the retired emperor Li Yuan..."

Yun Ye was shocked: "You mean, the emperor used the Qiankun mirror to look at the emperor?"

As he spoke, Yun Ye frowned: "What does he mean by this? Is he still afraid of the emperor?"

Lin Zhongtian shook his head: "No, I think he wanted to know whether the emperor could seek immortality after abdicating, so he found the example of the retired emperor Li Yuan and asked Empress Zhangsun to come and test me..."

Hearing Lin Zhongtian's words, Yun Ye looked at him in a daze.

After a moment, he smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Tian, ​​it seems that your words to trick him have had the opposite effect."

Lin Zhongtian said calmly: "Don't worry, this is just Li Er's unwilling struggle before giving up. What I said to him was not all lies. At least the fact that 'the emperor cannot cultivate immortality' is indeed true."

Yun Ye was slightly stunned, then fell silent and did not ask any further questions about this issue.

Lin Zhongtian glanced at him and knew that this boy must have guessed something, but because he did not speak up, he also kept silent tacitly.

Lin Zhongtian chuckled: "These are the key topics. The rest are just meaningless courtesies. After the Queen and Li Tai finish their meal, if she comes to test you again, you must not let anything slip."

Yun Ye smiled: "Don't worry, Brother Tian, ​​I know what to say."

Lin Zhongtian smiled slightly, raised his hand and patted Yun Ye's shoulder, then stood up and left.

Yun Ye watched Lin Zhongtian leave, sighed after a long time, and picked up the bowl again.

……

Afterwards, Yun Ye and Li Tai accompanied Empress Chang Sun in strolling around Yushan Academy.

The two told her many interesting stories about the academy, and took her to see the dinosaur fossils dug up in the academy, learning about these giant beasts that became extinct hundreds of millions of years ago.

Empress Changsun was a little skeptical about Yun Ye's story, but she was very happy about the existence of this huge beast.

The royal family claims to be the real dragon, so naturally they would like to see evidence of the existence of dragons. Even if it is just a dinosaur, it is enough to make the eldest grandson excited.

Just like that, three days later, Empress Changsun's carriage rolled all the way back to Chang'an.

Yun Ye was finally freed from Empress Changsun and began to practice the Nine Yang Magic Art with all his strength.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye another ten days have passed.

The sun emerged from the top of Jade Mountain and cast its light into the Yun family's courtyard wall.

Yun Ye sat cross-legged in the center of the martial arts training ground with his eyes closed, constantly circulating the heat in his body to break through the acupoints.

Not long after, Yun Ye suddenly groaned, and his skin turned red, with white steam rising like a cooked shrimp.

Seeing this scene, Lin Zhongtian sat up from the recliner and looked at Yun Ye with sharp eyes.

...Finally, I'm finally getting started!

Lin Zhongtian expressed his sincere emotion in his heart.

Under his personal instruction and with the nourishment of many spiritual objects that do not exist in this world, Yun Ye spent nearly a month and finally succeeded in learning this improved version of "Nine Yang Divine Art".

This kind of qualification can be said to be the worst among all the indigenous time travelers the alliance has ever come into contact with.

But it's not his fault. After all, this is a world without demons, and the worlds of other indigenous time travelers basically all have supernatural powers. Even in the world of "The Son-in-law" where Ning Yi is, there are mysterious things like internal strength and the true meaning of martial arts.

Of course, in addition to this, there is also the reason that Lin Zhongtian has relatively high requirements.

The entry he mentioned was not the entry in the popular sense. If it was the entry in the popular sense, then when Yun Ye started to generate internal force in his body, he had already reached it.

But in Lin Zhongtian's eyes, this level can only be regarded as just touching the threshold, and there is still a long step away from entering.

Only by opening up the acupoints in the body, breaking through the mysterious gates in the body, and achieving at least a small circulation, can one be considered to have truly entered the door.
