Chapter 14 Jiang Xu

The morning light was dim. When the first ray of sunlight fell on Gu Jue's face, he opened his eyes and looked around. No one was there.

He sat up straight, and the clothes covering his body slipped down. It was Yu Chi.

He stood up and looked around, and found someone behind the plum tree.

When he saw Yu Chi's face, he remembered last night and blushed.

Yu Chi noticed him and waved at him.

"Wake up, come here~"

Gu Jue obediently moved over. Yu Chi raised his head towards the tree trunk, motioning him to look.

He looked in the direction of Yu Chi's gaze, and saw words carved on the thick tree trunk.

"I want to enjoy the beauty of nature and spend the four seasons with someone. What is this called in the eyes of mortals?"

Gu Jue didn't quite understand, so he could only look at Yu Chi with a puzzled look.

Yu Chi bent his finger and tapped Gu Jue's head lightly.

"Stupid, he almost wrote that he wanted to spend his life with this person."

Enjoying the beauty of nature and spending the four seasons with someone, this is the most obvious statement.

...

They took advantage of the morning sun to go down the mountain, and when they reached the middle of the mountain, they saw the dilapidated thatched house again.

It was still very quiet, as if no one lived there.

They knocked on the door, and this time, they waited for a long time but no one opened the door for them.

Suddenly, he had a premonition in his heart. With this premonition, Yu Chi pushed open the door. It was very simple inside, with a cabinet, a single wooden bed, and a person lying on the bed, and nothing else.

They walked in, Yu Chi stretched out his hand, pressed his fingers on the old man's neck, and retracted it after a while.

"The person is gone."

As his voice fell, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became silent.

The morning sun rose, and the sunlight slowly enveloped the earth. A ray of sunlight shone in from the door and fell on the old man's body.

His body gradually became transparent, and finally turned into dots of white light, scattered around.

Gu Jue stretched out his hand and pointed his finger at a ray of white light, and the white light fell on his fingertips.

"It's a spirit."

In this world, besides humans, there are other non-human creatures that live with humans in this world, but they only account for a very small number.

Demons, monsters, ghosts, monsters, spirits...

Gu Jue is a demon, Mingze is a monster, and the mountain guard is a spirit...

Spirits are bred by nature, and most of them don't realize that they are non-human creatures, so the mountain guard has always thought that he is a human, a mountain guard, so he has been guarding here.

Non-human creatures are almost not tolerated by humans. In the cognition of mortals, there is a saying that those who are not of my race must have different hearts.

So people reject, or don't like non-human creatures.

Yu Chi's hand fell on Gu Jue's head. Gu Jue raised his eyes, and there was no rejection on that beautiful face.

"What are you thinking about?"

He was lucky enough. He met Grandma, Sister Yu, and Yu Chi.

They all knew that they were not human, but they all treated him kindly.

"I'm thinking about whether to erect a tombstone for him."

"Good idea."

The white light floated out along the ray of sunlight that shone in, and slowly dissipated in front of their eyes in the direction of the sun.

They went down the mountain, and next to the thatched house, there was a tombstone without a name, still staying here, guarding the mountain.

...

When they returned to the Feng family, it was almost dusk. The servants went to inform Feng Wuqing. When they arrived at the front hall, not only Feng Wuqing, but also Feng Wuyou and Jiang Suo were there.

Feng Wuqing asked someone to serve tea to the two of them.

"Thank you for your hard work after the long journey."

Gu Jue waved his hand to show that he didn't care.

"Not hard."

Yu Chi took a sip of tea.

"It's a hard life."

His eyes fell on Feng Wuyou.

"Young Master, your health seems to be much better?"

Feng Wuyou pulled the cloak that Jiang Suo put on him when he went out.

"Well, I have to thank Doctor Yu Chi. I feel much more relaxed."

When he spoke, he looked at Yu Chi with deep meaning, but it was just a passing glance, and no one else noticed.

Jiang Suo could only see Feng Wuyou's profile and his slightly closed eyes from where he was sitting. His eyes were always on Feng Wuyou, and there was a faint smile on his face. When

he went to see Feng Wuyou early this morning, he asked Feng Wuyou if he knew Mingze.

Feng Wuyou said no.

He readjusted the dosage of the soul-stealing incense. As long as he kept it like this, Feng Wuyou would completely forget the name Mingze in a short time.

By then, Feng's parents, who were away from home all year round and rarely came home, and Feng Wuqing, who was in charge of the Feng family's business, would not always be by Wuyou's side. Only him, Jiang Suo, would belong to Feng Wuyou completely.

Feng Wuqing said that he had a guest later and had to leave first. He said goodbye to everyone and left.

Jiang Suo held the tea, without even looking at Yu Chi and Gu Jue opposite him, and took a sip to moisten his throat.

"You two, I haven't seen you for two days. Where did you go for fun?"

Gu Jue didn't have a good impression of Jiang Suo. This man looked gentle on the surface, but he was a completely different person behind the scenes, like a hypocrite.

Yu Chi patted the back of his hand gently.

"Oh, we just arrived in Mingyue City. We haven't seen the whole place yet, but we went out to play for two days. Do you miss us, Mr. Jiang?"

"Indeed, I do. What did you two do for fun?"

Yu Chi stood up.

"This is a long story, but Gu Jue and I just came back and we are a little tired. Why don't we leave the interesting things of the past two days until tomorrow?"

He took Gu Jue's hand and led them out. Then he remembered something and looked back at Feng Wuyou.

"Can you trouble the eldest master to have someone send the food to my room? I really don't want to move."

Feng Wuyou sat upright and nodded.

"Of course I can."

After watching Yu Chi and Gu Jue leave, Feng Wuyou waved his hand and called a maid over. He covered his lips and whispered something, and then said something.

"Do you understand? They are distinguished guests. You must treat them well."

The maid took the order and went down. Jiang Suo frowned as he looked at Feng Wuyou.

Although Feng Wuyou didn't remember Mingze, his spirit seemed to have improved a lot. He didn't believe that the effect of the Soul-stealing Incense had changed because of the plum fragrance he mixed in.

There is no such coincidence in the world. It is a fact that he forgot Mingze, and it is also a fact that Feng Wuyou's spirit has improved.

...

"Jiang Suo?"

Jiang Suo raised his head. He didn't know when Feng Wuyou stood up and stood in front of him.

"What are you thinking about? I called you twice."

He looked into Feng Wuyou's eyes, which were nothing but doubts, very clean.

He shook his head. Maybe it was just because he was weak before, and his qi and blood were empty, and he looked like he had no energy. Recently, Feng Wuyou's appetite has improved, and he has recovered a little, and his face has become red.

It's better not to scare yourself.

Just wait a little longer, wait a little longer...

"I'm not thinking about anything. Are you going home?"

"Yeah."

...

When the last ray of sunset glow completely disappeared, Feng Wuqing walked into Yu Chi's bedroom in the night.

Along with them came a young man in blue clothes with a long sword hanging from his waist.

"This is a cultivator from the Zichen Taoist sect."

"I'm Jiang Xu, nice to meet you two."

Yu Chi nodded and motioned them to sit down. After a while, Feng Wuqing left Yu Chi, leaving Jiang Xu to look at Yu Chi and Gu Jue.

"What did you see, young Taoist priest?"

Yu Chi smiled and poured a cup of tea for Gu Jue first, then for Jiang Xu, and finally for himself. The tea was full of human aura and fragrance. Jiang Xu first looked at Gu Jue.

"He is a demon, I can see that."

He tilted his head and looked at Yu Chi again.

"But you have demonic energy and human breath, like a human and a demon, are you a human or a demon?"

"Does it matter whether you are a human or a demon? Does the little Taoist have any idea about the two of us?"

Jiang Xu waved his hand.

"I'm just curious. I'm not an antique. It doesn't matter whether you are a human or a demon."

Yu Chi put down the teacup, but he felt a little curious and raised his chin slightly towards Gu Jue.

"Oh? Even if the little Taoist is facing him, you don't have any idea?"

Gu Jue was glanced at by Yu Chi, and his originally casual sitting posture suddenly sat up straight, his eyes looked at Jiang Xu, but his hand touched the sword that had been hanging on his waist.

Jiang Xu didn't notice it at all, just glanced at Gu Jue, and didn't move.

"This guy looks very kind, but is he a murderer and arsonist?"

"Little Taoist priest, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want!"

Gu Jue immediately retorted as soon as Jiang Xu finished speaking.

"If that's the case, then what can I think? There are bad people and good demons. To distinguish good from bad is not to see whether the other person is a human, but to see the heart, whether it is good or evil, I can judge it myself."

"If I want to kill this guy just because he is a demon when I just met him, how is this different from the executioner who can't tell right from wrong?"

Yu Chi lowered his eyes.

"You see it very clearly."

Jiang Xu dragged the stool and moved closer to Yu Chi.

"So are you a human or a demon?"

Yu Chi laughed.

"Guess?"

Jiang Xu was then led to the door by Gu Jue, who pointed to the room next door that Feng Wuqing later arranged for him.

"You'll stay in that room tonight."

Then he closed the door mercilessly. Jiang Xu patted the door and shouted at the inside without giving up.

"Tell me!"
