Chapter 32 People who have committed crimes cannot take the civil service exam
Jiang Jiu felt his scalp go numb after receiving everyone's weird looks.
"Is there any secret I can't hear?"
Yun Shuili tilted his head, his expression innocent but his words were as devilish as those of the devil.
"Well...I just feel a little...unable..."
Jiang Jiu's tone was hesitant. She felt as if her brain had crashed. She couldn't think of any solution and she didn't know what she was saying.
"That's right, Junior Sister has a lot of secrets that she's hiding from me."
Yun Shuili's sigh instantly stirred up waves of emotions in everyone. Ji Chen even looked at Jiang Jiu with an unspeakable look, which was hard to tell whether it was sadness or something else, and it made Jiang Jiu's heart tighten.
Although Ji Chen has an indifferent personality, he is the master who has devoted his heart to her and asked for nothing else since she came here. There is absolutely no one more qualified than him.
"There are no secrets now..."
Jiang Jiu gave up on herself, her tone was helpless but also full of despair. Her past had been turned upside down, was there anything else they didn't know?
"Donor Jiang is even more mysterious than I imagined..."
There was an aura of compassion surrounding Fo Jiang. The originally firm believer in Buddhism had been repeatedly made to doubt his life by Jiang Jiu, and his tone became much more hesitant.
"You don't have to look at me like that. Now you've seen my origins, my life story, and even my memories. If you want to know anything else, I'll tell you."
Jiang Jiu sighed heavily and started to play badly.
She had no other options.
"My useless self, please stop self-destructing. They didn't get many memory fragments, just sporadic fragments. I have retrieved most of them for you."
The inner demon finally couldn't bear it anymore and warned him.
"It's okay, there's nothing to hide."
Jiang Jiu scratched his head frantically and started to act like he was going to throw the jar into the ground.
She knows that this kind of personality and this way of dealing with things are not good, but she still does it every time she encounters something and can't change it at all.
"I want to know, you want to go back, right?"
Fo Jiang spoke in a serious tone and expression as he slowly asked the question that everyone was concerned about.
"Um."
Jiang Jiu did not deny it. She actually didn't know whether she would die or go back in the end, but she just pretended to go back.
Talking too much will make them worry.
"I understand."
Fojiang suddenly clenched the Buddhist beads in his hand, and wanted to say something several times but stopped himself, and in the end only this sentence remained.
Ji Chen understood Jiang Jiu's choice from the beginning, but after hearing it with his own ears, his heart was finally at peace.
He exuded a lonely and desolate aura, as if he was a person isolated from the whole world. His eyes swept over everyone here, and the bitterness in his eyes could hardly be concealed.
Everyone here can leave this world, but him?
Once again trapped in the position of Immortal Lord.
“Master…”
Jiang Jiu couldn't bear to see Ji Chen like this, so he couldn't help but call out.
"Master knows that it's not your fault that you want to go home. Don't worry about me."
Ji Chen just shook his head, and a comforting expression appeared on his cold face. Even at such a sad moment, he was concerned about whether Jiang Jiu would feel uncomfortable or sad because of him.
“…”
The two looked at each other in silence. Only Xiao Nianzhong looked at Ji Chen and Jiang Jiu with strange eyes. Finally, he raised his eyebrows, with a look of faint joy on his face.
"You can't get rid of me. Even if you leave this world, I will definitely chase you."
His tone was like that of a superior little peacock. There was no sadness in it at all, and he was even quite happy.
After all, in his eyes, having fewer rivals in love is a good thing.
“....”
Jiang Jiu admired Xiao Nianzhong's drive. He was already a high and mighty demon god, yet he was still so unbridled and did whatever he wanted.
"This broken heavenly law will definitely hinder me. I will think of a way to resolve it when the time comes."
After saying this, Xiao Nianzhong raised his head and looked at the sky thoughtfully, and what he said was quite outrageous.
No immortal in the Ninth Heaven, not even Ji Chen, would have such a thought.
"Wait! Not really!"
Jiang Jiu was also shocked. He didn't expect Xiao Nianzhong to think so far.
"Let me think about it. The space-time turbulence is a bit troublesome. Let me think of a solution. If I'm late, you have to wait for me and you can't be with others."
Xiao Nianzhong didn't care that there were other people here, and he confessed his love to Jiang Jiu openly, which made Jiang Jiu stunned.
"ah?"
Jiang Jiu was stunned.
She hadn't considered that possibility yet.
"You think you're the only one who can do this?"
Yun Shuili was not willing to be outdone. He had no feelings for the mermaids in the first place. Now that he could escape from this world and stay with Jiang Jiu, it was simply the best choice for him.
"Junior sister, I can become a big star and support you."
Yun Shuili had a serious expression on his face, and it didn't look like he was joking.
"?"
Jiang Jiu's face was full of question marks. What were these two people thinking?
Long Xuan looked at Jiang Jiu with a conflicted expression, poked her arm, and asked in a low voice.
"Wait for me too. I need to find a new Dragon Lord for the elders. Otherwise, it would be a bit awkward to just leave..."
When Jiang Jiu turned around, she saw Long Xuan looking like a shy young wife, and her vision went dark.
"stop!"
We can't let them continue to fantasize, we have to stop them immediately.
"I don't know when I'll be back. It might be hundreds or even thousands of years from now. Don't think too much about it now."
She enunciated her words deliberately to lengthen the time, hoping they wouldn't mess around.
"oh."
Long Xuan nodded, not quite understanding.
..
The matter was resolved in a way that Jiang Jiu could not have imagined. Even Xiao Nianzhong was still considering whether he should continue to be a killer like in the illusion.
Of course Jiang Jiu rejected him righteously and made it clear that "people who have committed crimes cannot take the civil service exam."
This dispelled Xiao Nianzhong's strange thoughts.
After a while, the disappeared Chi Li suddenly appeared in front of Jiang Jiu and brought back a crystal clear branch.
Jiang Jiu looked at the branch in Chi Li's hand and could feel the powerful force contained in the branch, which was absolutely beyond her ability to resist with her current strength.
"What's this?"
She looked up and asked with a confused expression.
"Just in case, you deposit a piece of your soul in it."
Chi Li spoke seriously and in a tone that brooked no refusal. Jiang Jiu was stunned when she heard it. It was the first time that Chi Li spoke to her in such an attitude.
"oh oh."
Jiang Jiu never guarded against Chi Li, nor did she think that Chi Li would use her soul to do anything bad, so she immediately separated a wisp of her soul and sank into the tree branch.
It's just a very faint trace and will not have much impact on the ginger wine.
