Chapter 116 Go take a shower first!
The sun began to set, and the fiery red sky sank quietly towards the west, dyeing the sky full of red clouds.
The golden sun seemed to be hanging on the edge of the sky above the clouds, shining with golden light, while the sky around it gradually darkened.
Zhuo Wanqiu was standing outside the Sword Forest, while Ding Yao was chatting with several disciples who had just finished their trip to the Sword Forest.
After chatting for a while, Ding Yao came over swaying her waist and glanced towards the forest.
"I didn't expect that this is the man the Master of the Appraisal loves?"
"What does Senior Sister Ding want to say next?"
"Although I have not passed through the Sword Forest, those disciples just now have. They said that although the [Small Heavy Mountain] is a killing technique, Elder Qi had already reduced its power to a very low level when he set up the Sword Forest. However, Ji You passed through it sixteen times. It is really eye-opening."
Ding Yao crossed his arms, with a sneer on his face: "The disciple I just talked to is called Yu Lin, a disciple of Tianjian Peak who has just entered the Tongxuan realm. His realm is not too stable, but he has only produced eight swords after passing [Xiao Chongshan].
After hearing what she said, Zhuo Wanqiu frowned and said nothing, but she didn't expect that the other party didn't stop talking.
"Junior Sister Zhuo, did you see the look in Elder Yan Ye's eyes just now? She is an extremely good swordsman, but in the end, she didn't even have the interest to watch."
"He clamored to come to my Spirit Sword Mountain to learn swordsmanship, and even pretended to be for the sake of Master Jian and didn't want her to teach him. I thought he had a strong talent for swordsmanship. Now it seems that he probably knows that he doesn't have enough confidence and is afraid of losing face in front of Master Jian."
Ding Yao turned to look at Zhuo Wanqiu: "If he goes back tonight, he might not be able to see Master Jian again, and Master Jian might not be able to come to him again. What do you think?"
Previously in the yard, Zhuo Wanqiu had ridiculed her so sharply that she was speechless. This time, she got all her criticism back.
Zhuo Wanqiu looked up when she heard the voice: "There are always people who are suitable for learning swordsmanship, and there are always people who are not suitable for learning swordsmanship..."
"Zhuo Wanqiu, you know in your heart that he is not worthy of the Master. The Master is just greedy for beauty and can't see the big picture, but she will understand sooner or later. This Ji You can't even catch the sword of our Lingjian Mountain, how can he be a good match for her."
As he was speaking, a rustling sound was heard in the forest.
Ding Yao and Zhuo Wanqiu came to their senses, looked up, and saw Ji You coming out of the forest of swords with a sword in hand.
There was some chopped bamboo leaves on his body, his hair was a little messy, and he took a deep breath facing the sunset.
The sword art of Lingjian Mountain is indeed extremely mysterious.
He had already begun to worry about He Lingxiu's battle tomorrow, especially after he had just felt the sword intent of Yan Shujing, his worry was even greater.
Zhuo Wanqiu came over at this time and asked: "Where have you gone, sir?"
"The sixth sword of the second level."
"Then is [Xiao Chong Shan] a little difficult for you, sir?"
Ji You didn't expect to be asked this question. He thought Zhuo Wanqiu also wanted to try it. After a moment of silence, he shook his head and said, "It's not difficult, not difficult at all. It just looks a little scary, but you can pass it if you work hard."
Hearing his answer, Ding Yao turned her head away speechlessly.
I thought that now that everything is so peaceful and calm, I couldn't tell how miserable you were when you passed that [Small Mountain] just now.
But the disciples of Shanhai Pavilion, Wendao Sect and Lingjian Mountain have all seen it. After tonight, the news that Ji Youtongxuan of Tianshu Academy had to try his best to enter the second level of the sword forest sixteen times will be spread all over the mountain. What's the point of bragging like this?
In fact, Ding Yao's words just now did make Zhuo Wanqiu a little uneasy.
After all, although what Senior Sister Ding said was a bit harsh, it was true.
Master Jian is the orthodox of Lingjian Mountain and the future headmaster. If Master Ji wants to be worthy of her, he must be exceptionally dazzling.
But his performance today when facing [Xiao Chongshan] was indeed far from dazzling.
Ji You didn't know that Zhuo Wanqiu was worried that he wouldn't be able to get married, so he walked towards Xuanjian Peak in the afterglow of the setting sun.
At this time, in the small courtyard below the Tianque, on the newly changed blanket under the tea table, Yan Shu was drinking tea from a cup, looking out the window from time to time.
The pair of crystal white jade feet were cushioned under the perky buttocks, and the pink nails were delicately like petals.
She has been practicing Taoism since she returned to the palace from here early in the morning. She has practiced Taoism for several cycles and went to the Void Mountain to gain enlightenment for three hours. The aura around her body has not yet dissipated.
The people in the mountains are still a bit restless, especially since the head sect's uncle has invited the Wendao Sect and the Shanhai Pavilion to hold a tea party.
Although the intention was nominally to squeeze Tianshu Academy and make the world laugh at it, he might have other intentions.
Yan Shu also doesn't like this so-called strategizing behind the scenes. The only way is to make the fastest sword.
Because if the sword is fast enough, it can cut anything and bring peace to the eyes.
After the training was over, she wrote another letter and sent it to Danzong, asking Yuan Caiwei what she saw about Ji You, and then she went to sit in meditation in this courtyard.
This is not a yard specially prepared for Ji You, but actually a small room where she meditates on weekdays.
But even though it's a small house, it's still different.
There were maids in the Cloud Top Palace, and her parents would come occasionally, but this room was hers alone. Except for Ji You, she had never allowed anyone else to come in.
So this morning, Zhuo Wanqiu and Ding Yao were standing outside the house and did not dare to come in without permission.
At this moment, the door was pushed open, and the last rays of light before the setting sun shone into the room.
Yan Shuyi looked outside the door, her expression cold and quiet, her beautiful face without any emotion. In the sunlight, she really looked like a ruthless goddess, and for a moment, the three people who had returned were a little dazed.
But soon, the young master's eyes suddenly came alive, as if they were suddenly filled with spirit, and then he narrowed his eyes and looked at Ji You with a little disgust on his expression.
"Why does my hair look like it has been in a chicken coop..."
Ji You had shaken off several times on the way here, but he was still a little dusty. Hearing the voice, he couldn't help but say: "How can you, little Master Jian, say that Jianlin is a chicken coop? You are being disrespectful to my Lingjian Mountain."
Yan Shu was also stunned for a moment, then he said with a stern face: "Spiritual Sword Mountain is mine."
"It may not be mine..."
"?"
Yan Shu also heard some signs of enlightenment in his words, and wanted to draw his sword and stab him.
Ji You was naturally very open and frank. After all, he even wanted to turn Tianshuyuan into a bandit's den.
Ding Yao was standing at the door at this time, watching the two of them looking at each other, thinking that the goddess-like person just now was obviously the real appraiser, why did she suddenly change her mind now?
Then Zhuo Wanqiu's morning words echoed in her mind and began to linger in her mind.
Because the other party doesn't care whether he is the judge or not, the judge will subconsciously not act like the judge who intimidates the mountains in front of him...
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Then Ji You wanted to sit down and rest, but was stopped by the sound of a clip.
Yan Shuyi subconsciously crossed his arms, guarded his slender waist, and with a cold look, ordered Zhuo Wanqiu and Ding Yao to prepare a bathtub for him so that he could take a bath first.
Although Ding Yao was reluctant, she still fetched water from outside and poured it into the bathtub, but she was still harsh in her words.
"The judge is a bit of a germaphobe, but she can tolerate it for people who are very close to her. But just now, the judge was afraid that you would dirty her new blanket. It seems that Master Ji is not that close to her."
"Senior Sister Ding Yao!"
Zhuo Wanqiu interrupted her with a whisper, "Don't worry, Master Ji. This courtyard is where Master Jian lives alone. After all, the blanket was just changed."
Ji You nodded but did not respond.
Blanket, cleanliness...
He smiled softly and thought to himself, your little mistress is not afraid of dirtying the blanket, but is obviously afraid that I will hug her dirty when my mind becomes clear, so she asked me to wash it.
In fact, if you think about it, Yan Shuyi doesn't mind being hugged by him. Although she doesn't say it, she is still vaguely thinking about the next time in her heart.
Then Ji You took off his clothes and told Ding Yao and Zhuo Wanqiu to go out.
Yuan Caiwei saw it last time, so I can’t let others get away with it this time.
Then he began to take a bath, and the sound of splashing water continued to ring out from the room.
Ding Yao and Zhuo Wanqiu retreated to the main room at this time and waited quietly on the side.
But before long, Zhuo Wanqiu heard Ding Yao speak, unable to bear the loneliness.
"Master Jian, Master Ji doesn't seem to be having a smooth time in the Sword Forest today. Elder Qi's [Little Heavy Mountain] is indeed powerful. Even a Tianjian Peak disciple who is at the Tongxuan Initial Stage had to use his sword eight times before he could barely get through."
"Master Ji may have been tired from the long journey yesterday and didn't get enough rest. He had to use his sword sixteen times before he was able to pass the first level."
"I heard some harsh words from the disciples in the mountain. They said that Master Ji is just a name with a false reputation and is weak inside."
Zhuo Wanqiu looked at her, opened her mouth, thought for a moment, and did not interrupt.
The judge will definitely ask about Jianlin's affairs. Although Ding Yao's heart is mixed, he will definitely not tell lies. At most, he will add fuel to the fire like he is doing now.
She felt that instead of asking Master Ji later and making him embarrassed to answer, it would be better for Ding Yao to say it.
However, after Ding Yao finished speaking, Yan Shu did not react at all. He still held the teacup in his hand as before, which made Ding Yao stunned.
"Master?"
"?"
Yan Shuyi came back to his senses, took the bubbling teacup away from his mouth, and his face turned red.
Ding Yao felt incredible after reading it, thinking that if you didn't hear me being so loud and sarcastic just now, then what were you listening to? Yan Shuyi retracted his gaze at this time, and after a moment of silence, he realized that someone was talking, so he looked up at Ding Yao: "What were you talking about just now?"
"My Lord, I just said that Master Ji went to Xiaochong Mountain and drew his sword sixteen times, but it didn't seem to go smoothly. The disciples on the mountain were all talking about how he was just a name for nothing."
"He's really patient."
"?"
Afterwards, Ji You finished washing up, wiped his wet hair and walked out, and was distracted again while reading Yan Shuyi.
After their hair was dried, the two men went to tinker with the stove in the back room, apparently trying to make a fire to roast sweet potatoes.
Zhuo Wanqiu and Ding Yao looked at each other and thought that the Master of Jian didn't seem to care at all about him using sixteen swords to pass [Xiao Chongshan], but this didn't seem right.
Ji You might be stronger than the average man in the judge's mind, but even so, sixteen times was too bad, and it was impossible for the judge to have no reaction.
(It's too busy as the Spring Festival is approaching. I always have something to do these days. It may also be because I'm getting older and my friends are getting married. I will definitely try to update more during this period of time, and then ask for monthly tickets...or2)
