"Nonsense, what secret could there be!"

Fang Ruotang was bluffing; she made eight hundred small movements every second.

As Cui Shixu watched her busy at work, a smile spread across his face, and he couldn't help but think to himself, "How can she be so adorable?"

From now on, I won't have to worry about her doing bad things behind my back.

This person can't hide anything at all.

Everything is changing rapidly.

She was the only one who hadn't changed.

"My lady, I'm a little sad..."

Ye Wuxia was already young and tender-looking. Looking at Fang Ruotang, he lowered his eyes and looked like a little puppy, which made Fang Ruotang feel like she wasn't even human.

But I don't dare to say it outright, because if I did, the world would explode.

"Don't be sad! At worst, next time we'll keep a little secret from each other and not tell anyone else," Fang Ruotang said, tugging at Ye Wuxia's sleeve to comfort her.

Ye Wuxia said meaningfully, "So you really do have a secret?"

Fang Ruotang: ...

Her expression changed, and she pouted, saying unhappily, "Are you trying to trick me?"

Ye Wuxia's eyes flickered, quite helplessly, "Do we even need a set?"

It's unclear whether Fang Ruotang thinks too highly of herself or looks down on him.

His emotions were written all over his face. If he didn't even have this much ability to judge people, how could he have broken through the ranks of poor scholars and gained the court's favor so quickly?

Do you really think he can succeed just because he's a pretty boy?

"Hmph! Anyway, you're not allowed to ask anymore, and I won't tell you even if you do! You're not allowed to tell me either, or I'll get angry!" Seeing that she couldn't get away with arguing, Fang Ruotang resorted to force.

She stood with her hands on her hips, pointing and gesturing at Ye Wuxia and Cui Shixu.

On the contrary, Gu Yanjin acted as if nothing had happened.

It wasn't that he wasn't curious about this secret, but rather that he knew Cui Shixu well. If it were something truly enjoyable, his expression wouldn't be so indifferent; his eyes would reveal an undisguised smugness.

But at this moment, there was a sense of unease amidst the ordinariness.

It's clearly not a good thing. Nine times out of ten, Fang Ruotang has done something naughty and doesn't want to tell anyone, afraid they'll scold her again.

With this guess in mind, Gu Yanjin did not deliberately tease Fang Ruotang like Ye Wuxia did.

Yes.

tease!

Gu Yanjin glanced at Ye Wuxia, who was in a good mood and showed no jealousy. She was clearly enjoying herself and had no intention of arguing.

Nine times out of ten, they also figured out the truth behind this secret.

"Okay, I won't ask anymore, don't be angry." Ye Wuxia quickly backed down. He was just teasing Fang Ruotang, and if he really made her angry, he would be the one who suffered.

He slid down to his knees and then changed the subject.

"I'm thinking of starting a newspaper in Dayong. What do you think?"

"newspaper?"

Fang Ruotang knew about this, after all, she had learned a lot about her past life from the mirror since she was little. Ye Wuxia and the others wanted to know about what Fang Ruotang had seen simply because they wanted to have common topics with her.

“Yes! I think that instead of having to remind people from time to time, it would be better for the court to publish weekly or monthly reports directly, so that we can completely control public opinion.”

“It’s good, but most people are illiterate, so what’s the point of having a weekly or monthly report? But if I can think of these problems, you can definitely think of them too! If you want to do it, then do it, I support you.”

Fang Ruotang changed the subject, looking at Ye Wuxia with her big, bright eyes.

Ye Wuxia raised her hand and pinched Fang Ruotang's face, then chuckled and said, "Yes, I will handle this matter well. You don't need to worry. The Dayong situation is easy to resolve. The Empress will fully support it, and the power of decision-making is in the hands of the court. The Empress will definitely want to make it happen."

Ye Wuxia acted first and reported later.

He used some of his old connections, and things have already begun.

"It might be difficult to promote this in the Central Region. Besides the Central Region, our Tianyi Sect can also publish a monthly report to record the major events of the sect every week and month, and insert some personal opinions to make the disciples respect and recognize you from the bottom of their hearts."

Fang Ruotang looked at Ye Wuxia with a resentful gaze.

"What do you mean? Are you saying they don't really respect or acknowledge me anymore?"

Ye Wuxia chuckled, "It will make them respect you more."

"Hmph, you'd better really think that way." Fang Ruotang curled her lip.

But she supports what Ye Wuxia wants to do.

She doesn't need to do anything; she can just wait and see the results.

After Ye Wuxia and Gu Yanjin finished telling each other about the tasks they had completed, Fang Ruotang also talked about her experiences over the past few days. Thinking that Ye Wuxia and the others didn't even have a spirit pet, she enthusiastically offered to take them to contract a high-level demon beast.

"Don't worry, I'm a very generous person, unlike you. I don't care about gender, I only care about ability. When we get there, you can choose freely, regardless of gender."

Fang Ruotang took precautions in advance.

She didn't forget to make a sarcastic remark about the three men in front of her.

This also prevents Ye Wuxia and the others from finding out that she has taken in another male snake demon and getting entangled with her.

Gu Yanjin raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Fang Ruotang who was beaming with joy, and then glanced at Cui Shixu, who was standing beside him and suddenly showed some displeasure.

He had been paying close attention and instinctively felt that Cui Shixu didn't like the demon beasts he had taken in this time. As for why he didn't like them, given their long-standing friendship, he could roughly guess.

Instantly, my mood also soured.

Whether Ye Wuxia guessed it or not is hard to say, but her tone suddenly turned sour.

He said, "Forget it! We are extremely virtuous men. There are so many powerful monsters out there, why do we have to pick a female?"

Fang Ruotang shrank her neck, feeling a little guilty.

But she quickly glared back defiantly and said loudly, "Don't try to insult me ​​indirectly. I can tell you're unhappy that I took in a demon beast, that you don't want me to improve my strength, that you..."

"Shut up!" Ye Wuxia raised her hand and cast a silencing spell on Fang Ruotang.

"Not a single word of it is something I want to hear!"

Fang Ruotang's eyes widened in disbelief that Ye Wuxia would dare to treat her like this.

Gu Yanjin and Cui Shixu were taken aback for a moment, then tilted their heads and chuckled.

They didn't interfere in their minor skirmish.

One side is willing to hit, and the other side is willing to be hit.

Fang Ruotang's cultivation was far superior to Ye Wuxia's; if she hadn't been so indulgent, he wouldn't have had the ability to silence her.

The two of them are now pulling and tugging at each other, one in front of the other, clearly engaging in some playful banter.

"Is there a problem with the monsters we captured this time?"

"Not at all!"

Cui Shixu spoke the truth.

Although Jin was offended, he couldn't see that Ruotang had any ulterior motives.

After calming down, he realized why Jin had bitten his finger.

Back at the sect, Fang Ruotang intended to release Jin and show him around the sect, but Jin didn't want to at all. He just wanted to stay in the spirit beast pouch and be carried by Fang Ruotang so he could cultivate.

It's not hard to see that this is a guy who only cares about cultivation.

Even compared to Fan, he is simpler in mind.

Fan was simple-minded, but his heart was not honest.

I always want to be close to them and become one of the seven brothers.

However, they could also see that Fan wanted to be with Fang Ruotang, and since he didn't have the skills to seduce people, he was relatively content with the status quo.
