Lovesickness Gu
"Nice to meet you."
This young man was really handsome, with delicate skin, red lips and white teeth, and his smile was even more eye-catching. Qiao Siyue couldn't help but steal glances at him along the way, and occasionally found something to talk to him about.
"Master Qin, will you go with us?"
"Where is Mr. Qin from?"
"What kind of Taoism does Master Qin practice?"
…
No matter what she asked, Yi Wu answered patiently and gently, which made Jian Qinyuan look at her in surprise.
Seeing that his junior sister was very interested in her, and fearing that she didn't know Yiwu's identity and was attracted to her, he quickly stepped out to distract her, and the three of them quickly rushed to Xicheng.
Xicheng is a vast city with abundant resources and a thriving population. It is very close to the imperial capital, and is located at the foot of the Changling Sect, a sect of immortal cultivation. I don't understand why those evil demons are so bold.
Knowing that the immortals have broken through the seal of the underworld and regained their freedom, and when the battle between immortals and demons is at its peak, there are still evil demons taking advantage of the chaos to wreak havoc in the human world and attract the attention of the immortals.
In any case, it's too abnormal.
An hour later, under the leadership of Qiao Siyue, Jian Qinyuan and Yi Wu entered Xicheng and stood in front of the largest restaurant in Xicheng.
In order to prevent their identities from being exposed, they had disguised themselves on the road, and the three of them looked like ordinary mortals.
In the middle of a busy street, night falls and the lights come on. Pedestrians come and go, and all around are shops of all kinds, offering a dazzling array of goods.
Taking advantage of this moment, Yi Wu picked up a folding fan from a nearby stall and fanned it, looking even more like a graceful gentleman. She casually swept it around, finally landing steadily on the restaurant in front of her.
The three characters "Yaoyuelou" were written in a flamboyant style on the door plaque. With customers constantly coming in and out of the restaurant, business was booming, and it looked no different from any other restaurant.
Jian Qinyuan turned his head and asked in a low voice: "Are you sure it's here?"
Qiao Siyue nodded heavily, looking inside seriously and nervously, "It must be here. Sixth Senior Brother's aura disappeared here."
The two were about to go in when they were stopped by Yi Wu.
"Wait." She pulled Jian Qinyuan and Qiao Siyue to the back, one in each hand, her eyes fixed on the big words on the door plaque.
If you look closely, you can see that under the words "Yaoyue Tower", there are some faint patterns carved, and there is also a faint black aura, which is difficult to detect in the night.
Yiwu squinted her eyes to identify it and finally recognized what it was.
The plaque is engraved with the demon clan's prohibitions. Once an immortal or a cultivator breaks in, the people inside will know immediately.
Following her gaze, Jian Qinyuan also noticed something was wrong and raised his hand to break the restriction, but Yi Wu stopped him, "Don't alert the enemy."
After saying this, she tucked her hands into her sleeves and quickly formed seals, secretly casting a barrier around the two of them. After concealing their presence, she stepped inside.
Seeing that the senior brother actually obeyed the orders of a casual cultivator, Qiao Siyue became even more curious about Qin Mo.
Although he is said to be a casual cultivator, he appears to be knowledgeable and unfathomable.
The three of them walked into the restaurant as usual, and the waiter immediately came forward to greet them warmly, "Three guests, please come in. Are you here for a meal or to stay the night?"
Yi Wu glanced upstairs, opened her folding fan and waved it leisurely. "Please give us three upper rooms."
As she spoke, she glanced at Qin Yuan, who reached into his purse and took out some silver and handed it over.
After all, they were helping them, so there was no reason for Yiwu to pay for it herself. She didn't have much money to begin with.
"I'm sorry, three of you. There are only two rooms left in the upper house. How about you two gentlemen just make do with each other?" The waiter suggested with a smile and quickly took the silver in his hand.
Jian Qinyuan glanced at Yi Wu secretly, and seeing that she had no objection, he agreed.
The waiter quickly went to the counter to get two keys to the room. As if afraid that they would run away, he led them upstairs and said, "Sir, please come this way."
There are four floors in Yaoyue Building. The first floor is for diners to eat and drink, the second and third floors are for guests to stay, and the upper rooms are on the third floor.
Yi Wu followed the waiter up the stairs. When they turned the corner to the second floor, Qiao Siyue secretly grabbed Jian Qinyuan's sleeve and said in a low voice, "Big Brother, I'm scared to be alone."
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Jian Qinyuan patted the back of her hand and led people upstairs.
Along the way, Yi Wu quietly explored her surroundings. Passing by a half-open door, she accidentally made eye contact with the person inside. The golden hollow mask was incredibly familiar.
She was surprised, but continued walking forward.
Why did Jiufang Mingyuan appear here? Did he come here specifically to capture her...
He vaguely remembered that not long ago, Fu Ke seemed to have mentioned to him that there were evil demons causing chaos in the human world. Jiufang Mingyuan must have come to solve the matter and happened to encounter it.
Yiwu is not the same as before now, so the two of them should not have any intersection.
The waiter quickly led them to the room and opened the door with the key. "Sir, please take good care of the key. If you need anything, just call me. I'll be leaving now."
Jian Qinyuan took the key, and the three of them went into one of the rooms to discuss the room allocation issue.
"Although there are differences between men and women, I'm still worried about Junior Sister having a room all by herself." Jian Qinyuan handed the other key to Yi Wu, his meaning clear, "Please be careful."
Yiwu nodded, took the key and went back to another room.
As soon as the door closed, she turned around and saw someone suddenly appear in the room.
Jiufang Mingyuan leaned against the window with his legs crossed, looking at Yiwu with eyes that saw through everything. "Have you forgotten what you promised me?"
Judging from his expression, he obviously saw through Yi Wu's disguise the moment they looked at each other. He was really amazing.
Jiufang Mingyuan didn't show it on his face. He had spent some effort to find Yi Wuke and came here specifically to catch her.
After all, he already knew her identity, so Yi Wu disdained to hide it any further and casually sat down at the table to rest her feet. "With so many demons waiting on you, don't you need a female official like me to take care of you?"
"lack."
Jiufang Mingyuan raised his chin arrogantly, ignoring her disrespectful attitude. "Unless you return the Life-Sustaining Pill to me."
The life-extending elixir had already gone into Qingpu's stomach, and she had been alive and kicking for a long time. How could she still be dead? Besides, this was something she had promised others, and Yiwu was not someone who went back on her word.
There was really nothing to say, so she stopped talking and agreed.
Both sides were silent for a long time. Thinking about the future, Yiwu was afraid that she would have to go to the underworld and would definitely not be able to guard Jiufang Mingyuan every day. In the end, she would not be able to become his head female official.
"I'm going to Ji Ming." She spoke calmly, thinking that the other party would understand what she meant.
Jiufang Mingyuan's breathing paused briefly, and he suddenly thought of someone. He narrowed his eyes slightly, "You want to go back to the Immortal Clan and find Liuyu?"
"What's Guan Liuyu about? Why do you keep mentioning him?"
Yiwu looked puzzled, not understanding why he kept pestering Liuyu, even though they clearly didn't know each other.
Jiufang Mingyuan was completely unable to answer her question.
After carefully examining her from head to toe, he realized that Yi Wu was trying to disguise herself and sneak into the Immortal Clan. He then asked, "If I let you go like this, how can I know if you'll take the opportunity to escape?"
Yi Wu turned her face to the side, rolled her eyes quietly, and muttered softly: "Even if I really want to run away, what can you do to me?"
"What are you mumbling about?" Jiufang Mingyuan stood up and waved his long sleeves, and an exquisite brocade box appeared on the table.
The box is made of precious jade, crystal clear, with delicate carvings on its surface, showing two lovebirds flying with their tails linked. Through the transparent lid, a red pill can be vaguely seen inside.
"If you want me to keep my promise, then eat it. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless." Jiufang Mingyuan raised his chin towards the table and was about to say what this was, but saw Yi Wu directly reach out and open the box.
She didn't even look at it carefully, but directly fed the pill into her mouth and swallowed it down with a gulp. "Are you relieved now, Young Master?"
They had reached a deal last night, and Jiufang Mingyuan was still counting on her to bring back the Yin-Yang Universe Pearl. This pill was just something to control her. In short, it was not fatal, so there was nothing to be afraid of.
Jiufang Mingyuan was silent for a while, then couldn't help but applaud in admiration, "You are really brave."
When you witness the power of the Acacia Gu, you will see if you will regret your impulsiveness today.
There was a knock on the door, and Qin Yuan's voice was heard from outside, "Qin Mo, do you want to go downstairs for dinner?"
"You guys go first, I'll be down soon."
After everyone left, Yi Wu turned around and began to order them to leave. "I've taken the medicine too. Young Master, go and get busy. We'll meet again if we're lucky."
She stood up and walked towards the door, ready to go downstairs. Just as she opened the door, she heard footsteps following behind her. Surprised, she turned around and saw that Jiufang Mingyuan's face had changed in a few breaths.
The gold-embroidered black fur coat she wore was replaced with ordinary black clothing, not much different from Yiwu's. The golden mask on her face disappeared, revealing a strikingly aggressive face. Her eyebrows were sharp, her eyes were bright, and her bearing was imposing.
While Yi Wu was watching, Jiufang Mingyuan had already opened the door and headed downstairs. "Since we have the same goal, why don't we act together?"
Only after everyone reached the stairs did Yi Wu quickly catch up.
She did not object out loud, but her eyes fell on Jiufang Mingyuan's face several times, secretly investigating.
Ever since Yiwu entered the Demon Clan and first met Jiufang Mingyuan, he had always been wearing a mask. Even last night, when she accidentally knocked the mask off, Jiufang Mingyuan immediately put it back on.
For some unknown reason, Jiufang Mingyuan didn't want others to see his true face. At this moment, he must be a disguise just like Yiwu.
Soon, I reached the bottom of the stairs and saw many diners eating in the lobby on the first floor.
Someone noticed the two handsome young men coming down and cast secret glances at them.
Jian Qinyuan also saw it and thought the man in black was quite sturdy and imposing, but since he didn't know him, he didn't pay much attention to it. Unexpectedly, the man walked straight to their table.
Qiao Siyue looked left and right, covered her mouth and asked him secretly: "Big Brother, who is this? Do you know him?"
"I don't recognize it..." Jian Qinyuan was interrupted by someone behind him before he could finish his words.
"This is me..." Yi Wu paused for a moment, unsure of what identity to assign to Jiufang Mingyuan. She simply raised her hand and poked him in the lower back, whispering a reminder, "My name is Qin Mo now."
Jiufang Mingyuan's back tensed, and he coughed dryly twice before reluctantly introducing himself. "I'm... Qin Mo's cousin, Mingyuan. I just happened to run into him here."
Ming Yuan, sounds familiar...
