After leaving prison, the system is still immersed in confusion.
"Host, what is the meaning of what you just said to Su Xu?" The system asked: "You are just spitting on him...Are you really not just talking nonsense?"
From the beginning to the end, Su Xu was begging Li Yuebai to spare his life, but Li Yuebai just refused in disgust, and then said - your crime is unforgivable and you cannot escape the death penalty.
"You are not human, and you cannot observe human expressions, so you don't understand." Li Yuebai smiled and wrapped his cloak tightly around him: "In the conversation just now, Su Xu read some information from my expression and tone, some information that I deliberately conveyed to him."
"Humans are really strange." The system said helplessly.
Night had fallen, and a full moon rose. The moonlight was bright, illuminating the pavilions and towers in the forests of Kunlun Mountain. Li Yuebai had the system with him, so he was not afraid of encountering danger. Moreover, after a big battle, Kunlun was still in a state of strict discipline, and there were monks patrolling in groups everywhere. Therefore, Li Yuebai walked all the way to the Auspicious Hall without any followers.
Before reaching the Auspicious Hall, I could see from a distance that there seemed to be a light on at the entrance of the hall.
The light is dim, not dazzling, and looks very comfortable.
Li Yuebai walked closer and saw that it was Yu Tianji sitting outside the palace gate with a lamp in his hand.
"Why doesn't the Immortal Lord take a good rest in the temple? Is he holding a lantern and admiring the moon?" Li Yuebai was in a good mood with a smile on his face. He asked Yu Tianji while walking towards the temple door.
"Master Jijiu is too ignorant of romance." Yu Tianji was overjoyed to see him coming back. He raised the lamp in his hand higher and shook it, saying, "I was afraid that the road would be slippery in the dark and Master Jijiu would not be able to see the road clearly, so I waited here to light the way for you."
The lamp in his hand could only be used as a toy for leisure. It could only illuminate a few steps at most and was not as effective as moonlight.
"I understand the Immortal Lord's intention." Li Yuebai said with a smile.
In his opinion, Yu Tianji looked just like those male students who couldn't play video games, with four words written on his face - bored.
Yu Tianji has traveled to this world of cultivating immortals for many years. Immortal techniques seem interesting at first, but he gets bored after playing with them for too long. What's more, he is always surrounded by a team of cultivators protecting him. He has no freedom, so it is understandable that he feels bored.
"I just went to the prison to visit Su Xu and talked to him." Li Yuebai said, "This man is stubborn and has no regrets for the crimes he committed. It's really sad."
"Well, since he is guilty, Lord Jijiu will punish him according to Kunlun Law." Yu Tianji yawned and said, "I will not interfere at all."
"Thank you for your trust, Immortal Lord." Li Yuebai nodded: "It's getting late, I should go back to the study to rest."
The study, of course, refers to his own study, the one he had just come from when he traveled through time.
"Hey? What's going on?" Yu Tianji woke up from a dream and grabbed Li Yuebai's hand: "There are many inner rooms behind the Jixiang Hall. Why doesn't Master Jijiu live there?"
Li Yuebai glanced at the many monks guarding nearby, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was inappropriate.
"I was seriously injured at that time, so I had to stay in the Jixiang Palace." Li Yuebai said, "Now that I have recovered from my injuries, it would be against the rules to stay here any longer."
"Kunlun has a lot of affairs to deal with. I want to discuss it with the Lord Chief Priest all night..." Yu Tianji raised his eyebrows and refused to let go.
"Let's talk about it another day. I'm really tired and exhausted." Li Yuebai sighed.
In fact, he was tired.
Although the damage to this body was not as serious as he pretended, it was indeed damaging to his vitality. In addition, he went out to take in a disciple, and when he came back he had to take care of Su Xu. Now he was really tired.
If I still live in the Auspicious Palace, I will definitely be hugged and held by Yu Tianji all night long, harassing me in every way. How can I sleep peacefully?
Yu Tianji thought about it and nodded in agreement.
"Since Master Jijiu is tired, I won't force you." Instead of letting go of Li Yuebai's hand, he held it tighter and said, "I'll take Master Jijiu back to the study."
"As long as the Immortal Lord is not afraid of the long journey... of course you can." Li Yuebai rejected Yu Tianji several times in a row. He was embarrassed to refuse again, so he had to agree to this request.
Yu Tianji stood up with a look of joy on his face, still holding the lamp in his hand, and holding Li Yuebai tightly with his other hand. He almost leaned on Li Yuebai, and the two of them stumbled down the stairs together.
The monks did not dare to leave the Immortal Lord and followed behind to protect him, not too far away.
Yu Tianji's legs were a little lame, and it was not very convenient for him to walk. On weekdays, he would just walk around leisurely with his sword in his hand. But tonight the moonlight was so good that he was in a good mood. He didn't use the sword, but held Li Yuebai in his arms and walked step by step on the bluestone road towards the study.
Only then did Li Yuebai realize that this was the first time he could enjoy the night view of Kunlun.
In fact, he had never really looked at the scenery during the day, let alone the night view.
Every few steps, Yu Tianji would point the light in a certain direction at a tall building or a forest, and tell Li Yuebai a long story, some true or some false, bragging about the jokes he had made there. At the end, he would always sigh quietly, "It's a pity that you weren't there at that time. It would have been much more interesting if you had been there."
"If I were here, I wouldn't let you do whatever you want." Li Yuebai shook his head and smiled.
This road had never been so long before. They didn't know how long they had walked before they finally reached the door of the study room. However, they saw a person standing outside the door.
It was a woman, wearing a dark red robe, with her long black hair casually tied into a bun. She had a graceful figure and looked like a beauty even from the back.
She heard their footsteps and turned around.
As soon as Li Yuebai saw her face, he recognized her immediately - Ji Yao, the eldest daughter of the Ji family.
The Ji family was confiscated by Su Xu, and the people in charge of the family were thrown into jail. Since Ji Yao did not personally participate in any corruption, he was not charged with any crime.
Ji Yao turned around and saw Li Yuebai and Yu Tianji. He immediately walked forward and bowed.
She had a gorgeous appearance. Her clothes were simple and unadorned, but she chose a more seductive dark red color instead of the abstinent white. She had no complicated decorations on her hair, but her face was carefully groomed. Her eyebrows were slightly frowned, her lips were bright red, and her face was covered with tear marks. She looked very charming.
"I apologize to the Immortal Lord and the Lord of the Imperial Court." Ji Yao's voice was mournful and gentle. If an ordinary man heard it, it would be impossible for him not to be moved.
"No need to be polite." Li Yuebai asked, "Young lady, why did you come to visit me so late at night?"
"Nothing, I just came to apologize." Ji Yao smiled sadly: "My father and brother committed a serious crime, and I feel guilty. I know that I am of low status and dare not meet the Immortal Lord directly. Therefore, I wanted to visit the Lord of Sacrifice first, but I didn't expect to offend the Immortal Lord."
"What does it have to do with you if your father and brother are guilty?" Yu Tianji said with a smile, "You don't have to think too much, just live your life well."
"Is that really the case?" Ji Yao raised his head: "Thank you, Immortal Lord, for your generosity..."
There were a few tears on her beautiful cheeks, but now she forced a smile. It must be said that she was as eye-catching as a peony dripping with dew.
Li Yuebai didn't look at her much, but started to calculate in his heart.
Today, the chief priest returned home after recovering from his illness, and Su Xu was imprisoned. When the news spread, the whole Kunlun was in an uproar.
Ji Yao hated Su Xu, so naturally he would hear the news first.
What judgment will she make next?
Su Xu was cruel and ruthless, while the Lord Jijiu was famous for his kindness and benevolence.
Su Xu defeated the Ji family, but the Lord Jijiu had no grudge against them.
Therefore, Ji Yao must come to pay a visit to the Lord of the Imperial Sacrifices, hoping to gain his favor.
Of course she didn't dare to go to the Auspicious Hall to look for someone, so she could only try her luck at the door of the study. Even if she couldn't find him the first time, she would definitely find him eight or ten times.
I didn't expect to meet you so soon.
"System, Ji Yao's primary target wouldn't be... me, right?" Li Yuebai said in disbelief.
"Host, please don't be so self-indulgent. Ji Yao is just looking for a powerful person who can rescue her from the quagmire. It doesn't matter who this person is, as long as he can help her get out of her current situation."
"It's not that I'm being sentimental, but judging from the objective situation, it's much easier to attack me than Yu Tianji." Li Yuebai said embarrassedly.
Ji Yao's feelings towards Yu Tianji should be quite complicated now - Yu Tianji loved her when he was young, but when he grew up, he had a grudge against her family and sent people to destroy her family. How should she get along with such a fickle immortal master?
In comparison, the Lord Jijiu is much simpler.
Ji Yao had no intention of pestering him any further. She knew very well that it was best to stop at the right time. There would be opportunities in the future. The longer she pestered him now, the clearer her intentions would be. Therefore, she just bowed and left.
Li Yuebai waited until she left before he slowly came to his senses.
Just like the original story, Ji Yao is not only beautiful, but also knows how to use emotions. She is not a simple person. If she were simple, she would not have been able to hide the fact that the original owner and Yu Tianliu were having an affair.
Looking at Yu Tianji again, I saw that his eyes were empty and he was lost in thought. I didn't know what he was thinking about.
Li Yuebai immediately sent a message through the system: "The original owner, Yu Tianji, has been in love with Ji since he was a teenager. You were a teenager when you traveled here. Is it possible that you were unable to distinguish the difference between your feelings and the original owner's at that time, and you unknowingly fell in love with Ji."
"No way! No way!" Yu Tianji replied shyly in a very cute and coquettish way.
"..." Li Yuebai originally wanted to tease him, but he was so jealous of his shameless answer that he couldn't recover for a long time.
“Hahahahahahahaha…” Yu Tianji laughed so hard that he fell backwards: “Master Jijiu, you are so adorable. You would be stunned when I tease you casually, hahahaha…”
"He deserved to be poisoned to death by my lady." Li Yuebai said angrily.
"Then why not, Lady Mu, take the initiative in this life and poison me to death first?" Yu Tianji stretched out his hands and grabbed Li Yuebai's neck.
