Chapter 48: Still quarreling
Xiao Nianzhong's tall figure completely blocked Jiang Jiu's view. Jiang Jiu raised her head and didn't see any signs of headache in him. However, she could no longer see Zhao Weilan at all.
"That doesn't work."
Jiang Jiu calmly pushed him away, but failed to do so, so he looked up again and spoke expressionlessly.
"?"
A hint of grievance suddenly appeared on Xiao Nianzhong's face. Why did it always work every time, but Jiang Jiu didn't buy it this time?
"Okay, okay, I'll coax you back later."
Jiang Jiu felt that her perfunctory tone made her sound like a scumbag, but Xiao Nianzhong had used this trick of "crying wolf" too many times, so it was okay for her to cooperate in her free time, since there was someone around now.
"?"
Xiao Nianzhong showed an expression of disbelief, which had gone beyond the realm of grievance and reached the point of being very unhappy.
"This little human bean sprout covets you."
He pointed at Zhao Weilan angrily and said.
"?"
Jiang Jiu thought about it over and over again, but he never expected that Xiao Nianzhong would even be jealous of a child.
Zhao Weilan was already extremely embarrassed standing by, and when he heard this his body became even more stiff, not daring to say a word. The people in front of him were Fairy Qingyuan and the Demon God, did he dare to move?
I dared not move at all.
Besides...
He did have some improper thoughts about Fairy Qingyuan, but now he has given up the idea and just regarded it as a dream.
Now that his thoughts have been exposed by the devil in front of him, he is extremely panicked.
"It's okay, he can't beat you."
Jiang Jiu could only use this kind of sincere praise to make Xiao Nianzhong feel better and stop being jealous.
"real?"
Xiao Nianzhong raised his brows, and his original unhappiness was soothed by these words.
"certainly."
Jiang Jiu nodded. She was actually a little embarrassed, after all, she had dragged others into this and became a part of their play.
"Uh-huh."
Xiao Nianzhong was happy. He turned around and walked to the other side of Jiang Jiu. He finally stopped making trouble, allowing Jiang Jiu to talk to Zhao Weilan properly.
only....
His eyes were still fixed on the two people, guarding against any more intimate contact between them.
"The gold and silver that the fairy left us is enough to buy clothes for my brothers and sisters at home, and to send them to school."
Apart from admiration, Jiang Jiu really helped the Zhao family a lot, and they must be thanked.
But he didn't know what was missing from the ginger wine.
The immortals in the upper realm would probably look down on their mortal things.
“That’s wonderful.”
Jiang Jiu also breathed a sigh of relief. When he gave it to them, he was worried that they would lose the money and bring about a fatal disaster. Unexpectedly, Zhao Weilan made good use of it, revived the Zhao Mansion, and protected his younger brothers and sisters.
It seems that he understands the principle of not showing off one's wealth.
"I have now embarked on the path to immortality and am now better able to protect the Zhao Mansion, all thanks to the help of the fairy."
Zhao Weilan had nothing but gratitude to say to Jiang Jiu along the way. The two of them kept thanking and responding as they entered the mansion, and Xiao Nianzhong's ears were almost callused from listening to them.
"The dry well in your backyard..."
Speaking of this, Jiang Jiu was actually a little hesitant. She had taken that priceless treasure away to help Ji Chen escape the fate of the Ji family. It was much more valuable than that bag of silver. She always felt that if she didn't compensate them more, they would be at a great loss.
"Fairy, don't mind. Even if that thing has the power to lift the sky, it won't be of any use in my hands. It's better to let you make the best use of it."
Zhao Weilan suddenly realized and immediately waved her hand to indicate that it was okay.
"Besides, I was too stubborn and pedantic before when I said that a common man is innocent but possessing a treasure is a crime."
Speaking of this, a hint of guilt emerged on Zhao Weilan's face. Perhaps if he had sold the Zhao Mansion early on, his younger brothers and sisters would not have to suffer so much.
"No, you're a good brother."
Jiang Jiu shook his head, disagreeing with his statement.
Xiao Nianzhong stared at the two people secretly. Seeing that they were talking happily, the thoughts that had originally disappeared popped up again. He frowned slightly and thought about how to get Jiang Jiu to leave here as soon as possible.
...
What Jiang Jiu didn't know was that after she left, there had never been a moment of peace in Xianyu Pavilion.
Chi Li leaned lazily against the railing, sitting on the outermost guardrail of the attic, his narrow fox eyes looking into the distance, not knowing what he was looking at.
Ji Chen, who had just given the order to Si Lushen, also appeared here and was standing opposite Chi Li.
Neither of them seemed to have any intention of fighting, but in fact the atmosphere in the air was tense and neither of them was willing to back down.
"Fox, I don't know what you are up to, but if you continue to do things that harm the Ninth Heaven, I will never forgive you."
There was a chill on Ji Chen's face, and his cold and beautiful face was like an iceberg covered with snow, so cold that it made people shiver.
"How can you be sure, Master Immortal, that it was me who did it?"
Chi Li lifted the long hair hanging by her ears without caring, and didn't even glance at Ji Chen.
"Fox, you were once the Nine-Tailed God, in charge of the Seven-Polarity Shrine. Who else but you could know the Moon Palace so well?! Know the Moon God?!"
Ji Chen frowned, furious, and confronted Chi Li decisively.
"If this is the only evidence, then I'm going to suspect you're trying to use this to alienate me from this little thing."
Chi Li's voice was as lazy as ever, as if he had no interest in anything. Facing Ji Chen's questioning, he was neither angry nor excited, but just asked back in a calm tone.
"So the Immortal Master would use such despicable means to eliminate dissidents?"
Ji Chen naturally couldn't stand such questioning, and his face suddenly turned ugly.
"This matter has nothing to do with her. Don't speculate on me with such thoughts!"
Chi Li looked at Ji Chenqing's pale face and sneered. He jumped down from the railing and walked in front of him, speaking word by word.
"You are someone who would hurt her for the sake of so-called justice. Even if you don't use any means to get rid of me, I will find a way to make sure that little thing no longer has you in her heart."
"She's just relying on the title of Master. How important do you think you are to her?"
"But in my eyes, you being around her is what worries me the most."
Every word Chi Li said pierced Ji Chen's heart. The atmosphere became increasingly weird. Even Ning Ning, who was usually fearless, was so scared that she shrank into the corner and dared not come out.
"I am not."
Ji Chen was silent for a while before squeezing out these four words from between his teeth.
"Oh? Did I lose my memory? Weren't you the one who ordered the little thing to take action during the Outer Demon Rebellion?"
Chi Li's words made Ji Chen clench his palms so hard that he didn't even notice the blood flowing out.
"One more day and many people will die..."
He closed his eyes and spoke softly, not knowing whether he was comforting himself or telling Chi Li.
