Chapter 13 Chapter 13 Some feelings have settled...
Anan was impressed by Qingye's extraordinaryness.
Jiang Zhaoxue sat there motionless, staring blankly at the newly placed jade porcelain vase not far away.
It was a white jade porcelain vase with orchids carved on it, with fine texture and exquisite beauty.
She stared at the vase, pondering Pei Zichen's words.
"I cannot, before anything has happened, conclude that the people I know are evil and trust in God instead of man."
Believe people?
Jiang Zhaoxue looked at the white porcelain bottle in front of her, feeling a little confused.
If he was a believer, then Pei Zichen today would never be able to reach that point in the future.
Although the difficulty of taking Pei Zichen away is unknown, it is actually not difficult to overturn Pei Zichen's case. After all, there are so many disciples present, and it is easy to find any disciple to make him tell the truth.
To put it another way, even if the disciples of Lanyue Peak would defend Gao Wen to the death, Gu Jinglan is still alive.
As long as Gu Jinglan speaks up, it will be easy to overturn the verdict.
In the original plot, although it was not the same situation, it was a case of a young disciple. If Shen Yuqing believed Pei Zichen, there was no way to investigate it further.
It was because Shen Yuqing was determined to kill her love rival and wanted Mu Jinyue to give up on Pei Zichen, so she used an excuse to keep the matter to herself.
But can Shen Yuqing do that now?
If it was the Shen Yuqing she knew, she definitely wouldn't do that.
He is not someone who would frame others for his own selfish reasons.
Although he had different ideas from her on the matter of the Book of Destiny and was a bit pedantic, Pei Zichen was right about one thing: he was indeed an upright and fair person. He had been in charge of the Spirit Sword Immortal Pavilion for nearly a hundred years and had never shown favoritism.
Should she believe him?
Jiang Zhaoxue was thinking. Anan saw her deep in thought and was a little surprised: "Master, what are you daydreaming about?"
Jiang Zhaoxue was brought back to consciousness by her and looked up at her: "What's wrong?"
"You haven't told me yet," Anan recalled the previous question and quickly pressed the issue, "Why didn't you bring Pei Zichen back today? Is he unhappy? If he doesn't want to, you can just knock him out and bring him out!"
"I can knock him out in the water dungeon of the Punishment Hall?" Jiang Zhaoxue said helplessly. "You think too highly of me, don't you? If there's a fight there, the fluctuation of spiritual energy will be immediately discovered. Besides, if I knock him out and bring him out, he won't be willing to do it, and I won't be able to control him forever."
"You've been thinking about this for your whole life?!" Anan was shocked.
Jiang Zhaoxue paused, feeling breathless. She couldn't help but ask, "Did you and Qingye have the same teacher?"
"The teachers are different, but the masters are the same." Anan answered honestly, then quickly got back to the point, "You're not going to kill him anymore?"
"I can't do it." Jiang Zhaoxue fiddled with the tortoise on the table and said frankly, frowning, "Why isn't he a little mean?"
If things were a little worse, she would find a reason to convince herself.
Not only is he not a bad person, he also has a lot of profound principles to offer.
It made her feel itchy in her chest - she started to feel guilty.
"So what are you going to do?" Anan was curious. "Will he be willing to go with you?"
"He said that if I could clear his name and get Shen Yuqing's consent, he would come with me."
Jiang Zhaoxue was helpless.
Anan understood: "The key is Shen Yuqing."
The injustice is redressed - it depends on whether Shen Yuqing will take the opportunity to cause trouble like in the book.
To agree to release the person - Shen Yuqing had to speak up.
There is no way to avoid Shen Yuqing.
Jiang Zhaoxue pondered Pei Zichen's words, took out the sound transmission jade token, hesitated for a long time, and finally sent him a sound transmission: "Shen Yuqing, come to Yunfu Mountain for dinner tomorrow night."
No response.
Being brave once will result in a lifetime of introversion.
Jiang Zhaoxue thought about it and it seemed to have always been like this in the past.
He never replies. Whether he comes back or not depends on his mood.
All she had to do was wait.
Endless waiting.
But this time she didn't have so much patience. She had to come to a conclusion, so she adjusted her tone and said seriously, "Shen Yuqing, didn't you ask me to investigate the demon cultivators who appeared in Wuyue Forest from Penglai Island? I have some clues. Please come back."
Still no sound.
Jiang Zhaoxue was so angry that he simply threw away the jade token and started thinking about whether there was any way to bypass Shen Yuqing.
Of course you can bypass Shen Yuqing.
After all, the only person who could control Pei Zichen's comings and goings in Lingjian Xian Pavilion, besides Shen Yuqing, was actually the one in the back mountain - Shen Yuqing's master, the founder of Lingjian Xian Pavilion, Patriarch Gujun.
Ancestor Gu Jun has not been in charge of affairs for a long time, but as long as Shen Yuqing is not around, she can legitimately find Gu Jun.
And Patriarch Gujun was a good friend of her father, who cared most about the interests of the sect. It was he who came to propose marriage and welcomed her into the Lingjian Immortal Pavilion. As long as the benefits were right, Patriarch Gujun would not refuse to let her go.
Without Shen Yuqing, she could easily clear Pei Zichen's grievances under the order of Patriarch Gujun, and then take Pei Zichen away on the pretext of "needing ice spirit roots to alleviate the fire poison."
In fact, talking to Gu Jun is much more convenient than talking to Shen Yuqing, but the only problem is——
"How do we get Shen Yuqing out of here?"
"Lie to him!"
Upon hearing this, Anan said without hesitation, "You let Mu Jinyue do the deception, and she always succeeds. Wasn't he fooled by Mu Jinyue in the book?"
These words made Jiang Zhaoxue pause, and she subconsciously resisted.
Anan saw that she looked unhappy and asked cautiously, "Why, you can't bear to let her go?"
"Not really..." Jiang Zhaoxue hesitated, a little distrustful, "I just think, can Mu Jinyue lie?"
"You'll know if you try it."
Anan spoke, Jiang Zhaoxue thought about it for a moment, felt that it made sense, and immediately stood up and walked towards Luoxia Mountain.
Lingjian Xian Pavilion is divided into three parts: the main mountain, the continuous back mountain, and more than a hundred small floating mountains suspended above the main mountain.
There is a viewing corridor connecting the Fushan Mountains. Jiang Zhaoxue slowly walked along the viewing corridor to Luoxia Mountain.
Shen Yuqing is not in Luoxia Mountain. Every time she comes to Luoxia Mountain, she always causes trouble. Last time, she even grabbed Mu Jinyue and made her kneel for a long time. When she returned, her spiritual roots were gone.
When Jiang Zhaoxue arrived at the scene of the accident, everyone was shocked and quickly asked someone to call for help.
Jiang Zhaoxue looked at the person who escaped and said directly: "Go tell Mu Jinyue that I have no ill intentions this time. I am here to help her save the person she wants to save."
No one believed this, and Jiang Zhaoxue didn't care. After waiting for a while at the gate of Luoxia Peak, she saw the attendant approach and said nervously, "Lady...Lady, Fairy Mu invites you to take a seat."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhaoxue looked up and down at the person who was speaking.
This is a mortal.
There are no mortals in the Lingjian Immortal Pavilion, unless they are servants.
After all, it is a waste of talent to let disciples who practice Taoism do chores and serve others every day.
However, the Immortal Pavilion emphasizes pure cultivation, so there are not many people who can have dedicated attendants in the Lingjian Immortal Pavilion. Judging from the tone of this person, she is dedicated to serving Mu Jinyue, which shows how much Shen Yuqing values Mu Jinyue.
Not only did he tolerate Mu Jinyue staying in Luoxia Peak, he even tolerated mortals staying in Luoxia Peak for her.
"See? Every mortal can come and live here, but you can't."
Anan quickly reminded her.
Jiang Zhaoxue said impatiently: "Shut up."
But Anan refused. He was afraid that Jiang Zhaoxue still had feelings for Shen Yuqing, so he explained everything to Jiang Zhaoxue wherever they went.
"See that tree? It's almost summer, and it's still blooming plum blossoms. This requires spiritual nourishment. Do you know why? It's written in the book that Mu Jinyue loves plum blossoms, which are as noble as her temperament!"
"See that water jar? It's a Feng Shui jar made of ice jade. It's used to gather energy and change luck. It's worth a fortune, much more than those bottles and jars in your house!"
“See that…”
"Master's Wife."
Before Anan could finish his words, the man and the bird turned around the corridor and saw a young girl standing at the door with her servants.
She had obviously just gotten up. She was wearing a plain white and yellow gauze dress, no makeup, her hair half tied up, and no jewelry at all. She looked as if her injuries had not healed yet and she was quite weak, making her look pitiful, like a willow facing the wind, unable to break at the slightest touch.
Jiang Zhaoxue glanced at her and knew that she had come to greet her specially. This time, she was here to cooperate. She didn't intend to make things difficult for her. She nodded and said caringly, "Since you are weak, forget about the formalities and go in to talk."
Upon hearing this, Mu Jinyue and her attendants were a little surprised.
But she quickly regained her composure, stepped forward to lead the way for Jiang Zhaoxue, and said respectfully, "Master's wife, you are visiting me so late at night. I dare not neglect you."
"Go down first."
Jiang Zhaoxue glanced at the attendants who were nervously following them and said soothingly, "Don't worry, I won't do anything to your fairy girl."
The attendant paused and looked at Mu Jinyue nervously. Mu Jinyue nodded and said, "Madam Zhang, go and rest. Master's wife won't do anything."
Jiang Zhaoxue was a little surprised to hear her calm tone.
In her memory, Mu Jinyue always seemed to be this weak. She had poor spiritual roots and often fell ill after arriving at the Lingjian Immortal Pavilion. Every time she saw Mu Jinyue, there would be a conflict. Every time Mu Jinyue pretended to be calm and held back her tears, Shen Yuqing would come soon and argue with Jiang Zhaoxue for her.
After a long time, perhaps because I couldn't get used to her, I always felt that she was pretentious.
When she came here today, she found that she was not what she remembered. At least when Jiang Zhaoxue was in a stable mood, she was also very graceful.
The two walked into the house together. Mu Jinyue asked Jiang Zhaoxue to sit down, and Jiang Zhaoxue observed her.
Although Mu Jinyue was nervous, she still served tea to Jiang Zhaoxue with dignified manners. Jiang Zhaoxue took the tea but didn't drink it. Instead, she asked, "Are you feeling better?"
Mu Jinyue froze for a moment, and quickly said, "Thank you, Master's wife, for your concern. I am fine."
"Are your spiritual roots okay?" Jiang Zhaoxue observed her.
Mu Jinyue became even more nervous and said hurriedly, "My disciple's spiritual roots are fine."
"That's good." Jiang Zhaoxue nodded, feeling too frightened, and soothed, "Don't be afraid. I didn't cause the Spiritual Annihilation. I have no interest in your shabby spiritual roots."
Mu Jinyue paused, and Jiang Zhaoxue looked at her, pondering the plot that would follow.
In the novel, Mu Jinyue became the first female immortal only after taking her spiritual roots.
Now that Mu Jinyue hasn't got her spiritual roots, can she still become the number one female fairy with only her own spiritual roots?
Jiang Zhaoxue was a little suspicious, but it had nothing to do with her.
After hearing Jiang Zhaoxue's words, Mu Jinyue looked up cautiously and saw that Jiang Zhaoxue's temperament was clear and open, completely different from before. Mu Jinyue looked at her for a moment, slowly relaxed, and said solemnly: "I am worried too much."
"You admit it?"
Jiang Zhaoxue couldn't help but smile. She didn't expect Mu Jinyue to say it directly.
Seeing that she was not angry, Mu Jinyue smiled and said, "I see that Master's wife is different today than before?"
"Yeah, I've figured out some things." Jiang Zhaoxue nodded casually, thinking about what he wanted to talk to Mu Jinyue about and organizing his words.
Mu Jinyue observed her and asked tentatively, "Then I wonder if these things are related to my disciples?"
"Something."
Jiang Zhaoxue spoke frankly, raised his eyes to look at Mu Jinyue, and asked directly: "I heard that you like Pei Zichen?"
Hearing this, Mu Jinyue's eyes trembled slightly, and a faint blush appeared on her fair face under the light, but she still pretended to be calm and said: "Disciple... Disciple doesn't know where Master's Wife heard this from, disciple..."
"Shen Yuqing and Pei Zichen, who do you like more?"
Jiang Zhaoxue asked directly. Mu Jinyue was shocked. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Jiang Zhaoxue say, "I'm not here to blame you. I'm here to ask you, Pei Zichen." Jiang Zhaoxue raised her eyes and asked, "Do you want to save him?"
Mu Jinyue was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly said, "Master's Wife...are you willing to help me save Pei Zichen?"
"Yes."
Jiang Zhaoxue is generous.
Mu Jinyue couldn't believe it: "Why?"
"Because," Jiang Zhaoxue tapped her fingers on the table and said casually, "I want you to get out."
Mu Jinyue frowned. Jiang Zhaoxue lied to herself, "You should know the relationship between Gao Wen and Wen Xiaoan, and you should also be able to see Shen Yuqing's attitude this time."
Mu Jinyue listened and thought of Shen Yuqing in the Wuyue Forest who was obviously unable to control his rage. Although she didn't know why, she knew that her master must be extremely angry with her senior brother.
"I'll tell you the truth, Pei Zichen won't survive this time. If you want to save him, I can help you, but I have one condition."
"Master's wife speaks frankly."
Mu Jinyue slowly calmed down and looked at Jiang Zhaoxue smiling, with undisguised malice in her eyes: "After this is done, you take him and get out of the Spirit Sword Immortal Pavilion."
Hearing this, Mu Jinyue was stunned.
Jiang Zhaoxue looked at her carefully and said seriously, "Do you want to stay with your master or save your brother's life? Think about it carefully."
Mu Jinyue was speechless. She stared at Jiang Zhaoxue's oppressive eyes.
Jiang Zhaoxue's eyes are usually black, but when she reveals her dominance without concealing it, they turn into ice-blue tiger pupils.
Mu Jinyue met Jiang Zhaoxue's eyes and felt almost unable to breathe.
The two of them were in a stalemate for a moment. Mu Jinyue used all her strength and gritted her teeth before saying, "Master's Wife saved Senior Brother just to make me leave?"
"What else?" Jiang Zhaoxue laughed, "Do I really need to worry about you two little brats?"
"Are you jealous of how good Master is to me, Master?" Mu Jinyue spoke unwillingly. Jiang Zhaoxue sensed the provocation and his expression changed instantly.
"Answer me!" The pressure was instantly applied, and Mu Jinyue could no longer hold on. She fell forward, supporting herself with her hands. She listened to Jiang Zhaoxue's shocked voice asking, "Master, or Senior Brother?"
“Master… Senior Brother!”
Mu Jinyue finally spoke.
Jiang Zhaoxue's aura condensed, and he slowly withdrew his pressure. He saw Mu Jinyue raise her sweat-soaked eyes, panting and saying firmly, "If Master's Wife can guarantee that Senior Brother leaves safely, I will go with him!"
Jiang Zhaoxue listened to her words, looked at her carefully, and laughed: "You really are the one I chose. Since you want to save him so much, I believe you will cooperate with me?"
"How does Master's Wife want to cooperate?" Mu Jinyue asked back while panting and thinking.
Jiang Zhaoxue thought for a moment and held out her hand: "Give me the Jade Sound Transmission Token."
When Mu Jinyue heard this, she was a little confused: "What does Master's Wife want to do?"
"If we want to cooperate, it depends on your importance. If you are not so important..." Jiang Zhaoxue laughed, "Even if Master's Wife comes to rescue us, there is nothing we can do. Give me the Jade Sound Transmission Token?"
These words were threatening. Although Mu Jinyue was unwilling, she still took out the jade token from her sleeve and handed it over.
Jiang Zhaoxue took the jade token, silently recited Shen Yuqing's name, and quickly wrote: "Master's wife is hosting a banquet tomorrow night. Master, can you go to Yunfu Mountain to attend the dinner?"
The words on the jade token would all be in the same regular script, so Shen Yuqing would not be able to tell who gave the message.
After delivering the message, Jiang Zhaoxue placed the sound transmission jade token on the table, waiting for his response.
On the other side, Shen Yuqing looked at the sound transmission jade token thrown aside, and after just a glance, he felt a little impatient.
There was only one person in the Lingjian Immortal Pavilion who would not use a respectful title when addressing him.
I had been planning to go back, but I was too lazy to reply her in case she kept pestering me.
He knew her temperament, and if he responded, the whole night would not be peaceful.
He didn't expect that she would actually make trouble to other people. He was dissatisfied but helpless. He didn't want her to know that he had originally planned to be proud of himself, but he was also afraid that she would continue to make trouble.
I could only pretend that I didn't know it was her and replied, "Okay." I thought that after getting a response, she would be content.
Jiang Zhaoxue, Anan, and Mu Jinyue waited in silence for a moment. When they saw the word "good" appear, Anan instantly screamed, "Ahhh, this scumbag!! Lied to him!! Mu Jinyue could definitely deceive him!! Moved the Void Spirit Sword Immortal Pavilion!! Tried him into losing everything, what a bastard!"
Jiang Zhaoxue didn't say anything. She looked quietly at the word "good" on the jade card. At that moment, she felt that something floating in her heart, which was difficult to confirm, fell heavily and the dust settled.
Mu Jinyue keenly noticed the change in Jiang Zhaoxue. She looked up in confusion and asked cautiously, "Master's Wife?"
Jiang Zhaoxue chuckled softly, seemingly mocking himself.
After a moment, she collected herself, looked up at Mu Jinyue, and said gently, "Alright, you've passed the test. Let me tell you about the plan. I'll host a banquet tomorrow night and invite Shen Yuqing. You don't have to come. I'll take the sect leader's token from him to activate the teleportation array, and call my family over to support and rescue Pei Zichen. So before the morning of the day after tomorrow, you must take this medicine and send someone to ask for help immediately. Don't give him time to think."
As he spoke, Jiang Zhaoxue placed a bottle on the table.
Mu Jinyue frowned warily: "What is this?"
"This is Hunyuan Pill."
Jiang Zhaoxue calmly explained, "You've just been poisoned by Ling Min San, and your Qi is becoming disordered. Ling Min San often has this side effect, and it will only improve in the Worry-Free Secret Realm. You'll be fully healed after finding the Black Jade Butterfly there and taking it. Shen Yuqing will definitely take you to the Worry-Free Secret Realm when the time comes. Once you enter this secret realm from the entrance, you can't use spells, so try to take him as far away as possible. The farther away from the entrance, the more time you'll give me."
"After I take Master away, how does Master's wife plan to save people?"
"I want to clear Pei Zichen's name." Jiang Zhaoxue said seriously, "You left because of my selfish reasons, so I will not treat you unfairly. He didn't do what happened to Wu Yuelin. He was wrongly accused."
Mu Jinyue was stunned, then became happy: "I knew it..."
"But the prerequisite is that you must send Shen Yuqing away. He has a deep relationship with Wen Xiaoan and will definitely favor Wen Xiaoan." Jiang Zhaoxue said half-truthfully, "After you send Shen Yuqing away, I will find evidence and bring the Penglai elder to the Lingjian Immortal Pavilion. After rescuing him, I will send him away. When you come back, I will send you to reunite with him. How do you do that?"
Mu Jinyue didn't say anything. She struggled. Jiang Zhaoxue watched her quietly. After she hesitated for a long time, she finally grasped the medicine bottle. She raised her eyes to look at Jiang Zhaoxue and said seriously, "I believe in Master's Wife. Please, Master's Wife, you must save Senior Brother."
Jiang Zhaoxue smiled at what he said, and said kindly: "Don't worry, I will. It's getting late, I'll leave first."
Mu Jinyue sat there without saying a word.
Jiang Zhaoxue stood up and left. When she reached the door, Mu Jinyue suddenly called her, "Master's Wife."
Jiang Zhaoxue turned back to look at her, and saw Mu Jinyue looking up at Jiang Zhaoxue and said seriously: "You won't get any love if you force it like this."
Jiang Zhaoxue didn't say anything. Mu Jinyue raised her hand and bowed deeply, saying respectfully, "Farewell, Master's Wife."
The author has something to say:
----------------------
Last night’s chapter was too short, so I’ll make up for it today.
Don't be afraid, there will be no problem with the medicine, everything is in the heroine's plan, the only surprise is probably that Shen Yuqing's feelings are deeper than she thought.
【Small Theater】
Jiang Zhaoxue: "Another day of saying one thing to one person and another to another has begun. It's easy to scam a little girl!"
