Xu Yuehuai walked ahead, completely ignoring Qi Guze behind her, leaving him to mutter to himself, "Why aren't you paying attention to me? I didn't even glance at that woman just now. My eyes were only on you. Why don't you turn around? Look, everyone's watching us. If you don't explain yourself, people will probably start to suspect that I'm your kept man."
Qi Guze's voice was soft. Xu Yuehuai silently recited the Heart-Cleansing Mantra to herself several times to purify her mind. However, when she heard Qi Guze say that she was a male concubine, she suddenly retorted, "Aren't you being supported by me now? You eat my food and live in my house, what more do you want?"
Qi Guze was stunned by what she said. After he came to his senses, he felt that what Xu Yuehuai said made a lot of sense. He hopped over to Xu Yuehuai and said, "I think what you said makes sense. So you take care of me now, and I'll take care of you later, okay?"
Xu Yuehuai ignored him and quickened her pace. Just as she was about to reach him, she suddenly encountered Fu Ziyi coming from the other side.
When Fu Ziyi saw the man next to Xu Yuehuai, his eyes held an ambiguous emotion. He walked over to Xu Yuehuai, waving the fan in his hand, and looked Qi Guze up and down. "This wouldn't happen to be the father of your child, would he?"
Xu Yuehuai was somewhat surprised that Fu Ziyi's eyesight was actually quite good, recognizing Qi Guze's identity so quickly.
Qi Guze looked at Xu Yuehuai in surprise, not expecting her to help promote the children outside.
I was so happy.
Baili Xiuwen stood beside Qi Guze. Ever since he learned about the matter last time, he no longer encouraged Fu Ziyi to pursue true love, and thought that his previous behavior was foolish.
"Hello, you're her junior brother, right? I'm Qi Guze." Qi Guze suddenly understood.
Xu Yuehuai had never noticed before that Qi Guze was so unreliable. In her memory, Qi Guze was supposed to be a very steady person. How come he seems to have changed his personality now that he's in a different place?
No one could answer Xu Yuehuai's question. The four of them walked together, and later Qi Guze stopped bothering Xu Yuehuai with questions and started chatting with Fu Ziyi and Baili Xiuwen.
Fortunately, the three of them got along quite well and quickly established a deep friendship.
Of course, this only applies to the deep friendship between Fu Ziyi and Fu Ziyi.
Little did she know that Qi Guze, that heartless bastard, was trying to infiltrate the inner circle of Xu Yuehuai in order to understand all the men around her and find out who liked her.
Xu Yuehuai was unaware of all this. She was busy cultivating and refining pills, and was very busy all afternoon. When she finished, she suddenly realized that she didn't have many of the precious medicinal herbs she had collected.
The sect provides medicinal herbs for everyone to practice with, but she uses a lot at once. Everyone's resources are rationed. As the senior sister, she can control all the resources, but what will happen to the others if she uses them all up?
Therefore, Xu Yuehuai did not abuse her power. Apart from using the sect's resources when practicing alchemy, she would buy everything else from outside the sect.
Xu Yuehuai stood up from the ground and walked to a large tree nearby. Qi Guze was sitting there watching her. When he saw her walking towards him, his eyes were filled with joy. "What's wrong?"
"Come shopping with me." Xu Yuehuai said, turning to walk outside. Before leaving, she suddenly remembered something and added, "You pay."
Qi Guze happily followed Xu Yuehuai away, secretly pleased that she had asked him to pay the bill, which meant she must have already forgiven him.
When the two left the sect, they happened to run into Shangguan Xi.
Shangguan Qi now takes Xu Yuehuai as his role model, and he feels comfortable only when he sees Xu Yuehuai and goes up to greet him.
Xu Yuehuai didn't understand, but she did as instructed.
"Who is he?" After chatting with Xu Yuehuai for a while, Shangguan Xi looked at Qi Guze, who was standing to the side and hadn't said a word.
Xu Yuehuai said, "A Daoist partner."
She came up with a way to address her partner.
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Xi immediately clutched her chest, her eyes filled with sorrow, and said, "My heart aches; I feel like you no longer belong to me."
Xu Yuehuai knew what kind of person Shangguan Xi was, so she ignored him. However, her words made Qi Guze, who was standing to the side, a little wary. He had underestimated Xu Yuehuai's influence. He used to think that he only needed to be wary of men, but now he felt that he needed to be wary of both men and women.
The three of them headed outside together. Shangguan Xi happened to be going out to buy something, and after a brief conversation, they went together.
...
These past few days, Ji Yuanchi has kept herself isolated. Her bracelet was later delivered to her courtyard by someone, and placed on the table. She no longer wears that bracelet, but instead puts on the one that her second brother Pu bought for her.
Ji Yuanchi's life changed from socializing with friends to spending all her time cultivating. Even Pu Erge, who was usually aloof, found Ji Yuanchi's life boring.
But the woman didn't feel anything at all; in fact, she got more and more excited as she did it.
For a moment, Brother Pu didn't know what to say.
As usual, after getting up, Ji Yuanchi practiced alchemy for a while before heading to the secret realm to begin a new round of hunting spirit beasts.
She had never been to that newly built secret realm before, because she had heard that Xu Yuehuai often went there, and she didn't want to run into Xu Yuehuai, so she deliberately avoided it.
“Look at Ji Yuanchi, she comes here every day, but her cultivation hasn’t improved much. She’s even imitating her senior sister, thinking that just because everyone comes from the lower realm, anyone can rise to prominence.”
"Yeah, yeah, it's absolutely hilarious. They don't even know what kind of people they are, yet they work so hard. Aren't they afraid of being laughed at?"
Inside the secret realm, Ji Yuanchi heard all these words clearly. She turned her head, about to retort, but unexpectedly someone spoke up before her: "I didn't even know when hard work had become something that needs to be done in secret, something that even worries about being laughed at."
Ji Yuanchi turned her head and saw that the person who came was Ji Yaocen.
Ji Yuanchi looked at the woman with some surprise. There was another person with her, Ming Qing. She recognized him. There were almost no people in the inner sect who did not know Ming Qing. Even someone like her who did not ask for anything had heard of Ming Qing from other people's conversations.
When the gossiper saw Ji Yaocen, he froze, unsure of what to say. "Second...Second Senior Sister, we didn't mean it that way. We were just joking with you, Junior Sister. Don't take it seriously."
