Chapter 119 Delicious and fragrant

The first battle at Tianshu Academy ended in failure, and the injured He Lingxiu was sent back to his own courtyard. This courtyard was naturally not as big as Ji You's courtyard favored by the little master Jian, but it was not too small either.

There is a jujube tree in the courtyard that is not well maintained and looks a little wilted even in early summer.

The atmosphere in the courtyard was extremely bad. All the disciples of Tianshu Academy were either squatting, standing, or leaning against the door frame. They looked at each other in silence, with their brows tightly furrowed.

Wen Zhengxin, Pei Ruyi, Ban Yangshu and Bai Rulong were here, but they were standing in the courtyard far away from the house.

Their relationship with He Lingxiu was not very good, and even Fairy Zhengxin had conflicts with her, but as disciples of the Tianshu Academy, they were a whole at the moment, and they would not put on inappropriate expressions at this critical juncture.

At this time, Ji You walked in quietly from outside the yard and sat down with the four people.

"Junior brother, I lost the first round of the game..."

"Well, I saw it from a distance..."

Ban Yangshu clenched his fists and said, "We analyzed it before coming here. He Lingxiu vs. Yan Shujing should have the highest chance of winning."

Pei Ruyi nodded: "Yes, at that time everyone in the courtyard thought that He Lingxiu would definitely beat Yan Shujing. If she won this game first, it wouldn't be a loss of face even if it was a draw. But she didn't expect to lose, and that Zhuang You seemed to be even stronger..."

After hearing this, Wen Zhengxin murmured, "He is in the middle stage of the Rong Dao, so he is naturally stronger."

"I don't know how confident You Buyu is in tomorrow's battle. If he loses again..."

The conversation between the three ended here. No one dared to say anything further, and the atmosphere became a little depressing.

Bai Rulong looked at Ji You at this time and said in a low voice: "Brother Ji, I went to find you yesterday. Did Lingjian Mountain send someone to secretly beat you up?"

Ji You turned and looked at him: "When?"

"Someone was blocking me from above, so I didn't dare to go too close. I just stood at a distance and took a look. I heard the constant clanging and clattering noise inside, as well as your cries of pain. It sounded miserable."

"You ignorant child, that's obviously cool."

"?"

Bai Rulong was slightly stunned: "Why is it so cool?"

Ji You smiled and looked up at the sky: "It tastes delicious and smells good."

"What good food did you eat..."

Ji You looked back at him, and suddenly his mind became clear: "Brother Rulong has been so generous these days, what's going on? How dare you ask anything?"

Three sentences to make a man spend money on me! Bai Rulong's tongue stiffened and he shut up immediately.

The Immortal Emperor Rulong usually lives a heartless life. He looked for Ji You to make jokes just to liven up the atmosphere. He didn't expect that he was almost robbed before he could finish three sentences, so he immediately behaved himself.

For a period of time afterwards, there were always bursts of noise in front of the door.

Some disciples from other sects pretended to pass by and peeked into the courtyard with an expression of wanting to watch the fun, which made everyone's faces even more embarrassed.

Because most of these people are familiar faces seen in the ruins.

They sat here until it grew dark. Ji You got up and left, and Wen Zhengxin and others followed him.

Seeing this scene, the fellow disciples guarding the door couldn't help but look at it for a few times, but didn't say anything.

If He Lingxiu won today, they would definitely talk about Ji You's trespassing into the Sword Forest when they saw him show up. You Buyu might even say something sarcastic, saying that he didn't know the rules.

But at this time, no one cared about him.

Because compared to the defeat in the first round of Asking the Way, Ji You’s shameful sixteen swords in the Sword Forest was just a small matter, because even if he died in the Sword Forest, the impact would not be as great as the defeat of the disciple of Tianshuyuan.

The five of them walked out of the courtyard, and Wang Yue, Fang Linchao and other disciples also followed them out.

There is another battle of asking questions tomorrow, and they have to go and see You Buyu’s current condition.

Having lost the first game, the second game must be won, otherwise it will become the biggest laughing stock in the early years of Taiyuan.

However, as Wang Yue, Fang Linchao and others walked out of the door, they saw Ji You and others who had been discharged from the hospital earlier were stopping on the mountain road. There was another group of people in front of them, as if they had met by chance.

Min Cheng was walking in front, followed by several disciples of the Wendao Sect, while Ding Yao followed beside them.

"After the first match at Tianshuyuan went like this, I think there's no need to have a second match. You can say that there's a change in your master's sect or that an elder in your family has passed away. Find an excuse and leave the mountain quickly. It's better than losing in front of everyone tomorrow."

Min Cheng's words seemed to be poisoned, killing people and destroying their hearts.

The source of his resentment towards Tianshuyuan was all because of Ji You, so these words were also directed at Ji You.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble that day, he told Ji You about Jianlin on the street, but now he was on Lingjian Mountain, surrounded by his own children, so he was naturally not afraid.

At this moment, Wen Zhengxin and others suddenly had murderous intentions, and Wang Yue and Fang Linchao could not help but frown and stamp their feet, looking at Ji You, wondering how he would respond.

Ji You didn't look at Min Cheng, as if he didn't exist, and turned to look at Ding Yao.

"Please go find a Jingling Pill."

“…”

He Lingxiu's [All Dharmas Accompanying the Body] was broken by Yan Shujing's sword energy. The injury was not serious, but the spiritual energy in his body was still running wild.

Just now in the courtyard, a disciple asked who had the Jingling Pill and wanted to give it to He Lingxiu.

But they had never expected such a scene and no one prepared for it in advance.

Min Cheng was stunned for a moment, then laughed, thinking to himself, are you mistaking Lingjian Mountain for the Heavenly Academy?

But the next moment, Ding Yao frowned for a while, then turned around and left without saying a word, which made him a little puzzled.

And for some reason, he found that Junior Sister Ding, who was such a proud person, seemed to be afraid to look up at him just now, and there was a hint of bowing.

In fact, this subconscious reaction was because Ding Yao had been with Ji You and Yan Shuyi these days and had developed the mentality of a maid.

Especially after reporting to the Master yesterday that it took Ji You sixteen swords to pass [Xiao Chongshan] but she found that the Master didn't care at all, she was too lazy to bother anymore.

She now had only one thought in mind, which was to get Ji You away quickly.

It's only one day anyway, why can't you endure it?

It's not difficult to get the elixir, it's better than giving him a bath.

The next few people passed by each other, and Wang Yue and Fang Linchao went to You Buyu's yard.

At this moment, he was surrounded by mysterious light and his Taoist magic was constantly running. He had been practicing for an hour. After hearing the footsteps outside, he opened his eyes and stretched out his hand to open the door.

"Brother You."

"How is Junior Sister He now?"

Wang Yue followed him out of the courtyard again: "Senior Sister He was broken by a sword while in the state of all Dharmas accompanying her. The injury is not serious, but the spiritual energy in her body is still running wild, as if she is in great pain."

You Buyu frowned: "No Jingling Pill?"

"This kind of elixir is rare and hard to find, and the disciples who came with us didn't prepare any. But just now, Ji You went to ask Ding Yao from Lingjian Mountain for it."

"Go ask someone from Lingjian Mountain for help?"

After Wang Yue finished speaking, he couldn't help but chuckle: "Do you know how he asked for it?"

You Buyu raised his eyes: "How?"

"He put his hands behind his back and frowned, as if giving an order, asking someone to bring a Jingling Pill over, as if he regarded Lingjian Mountain as his own home and Ding Yao as a maid."

"?"

Fang Linchao couldn't help but speak up at this time: "Senior Brother You was very dissatisfied with Ji You before, but now it seems that this might be a misunderstanding. I'm afraid that Ji You... is not smart at all."

After these words of praise and sarcasm, You Buyu felt much better.

Wang Yue then asked, "Brother You, should we send a disciple to the city to find a Jingling Pill?"

"You also said that this medicine is not easy to find in the south, and we will definitely attract attention if we go down the mountain now. Let Junior Sister He rest for a few days, and she will get better."

"Isn't Ji You just the right person? It will also save him from being criticized in Jianlin."

"This... is a good idea."

After hearing this, Fang Linchao nodded, and called a disciple named Fang Qing from his family, asking him to go to the mountain to find Ji You.

Then the three of them stepped forward and took the two to He Lingxiu's yard.

At this time, the sky was filled with sunset glow and a breeze suddenly blew in the mountains. You Buyu, Wang Yue and Fang Linchao walked in, and saw Ding Yao from Lingjian Mountain in the yard. He hurried into the room with a pill in his hand.

The three of them looked at each other and followed into the room, only to see that the pill was already in He Lingxiu's hands.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

After taking a Jingling Pill, the aura around her dissipated and the violent spiritual energy in her body quickly calmed down.

Seeing this scene, Wang Yue and Fang Linchao looked at each other, and finally couldn't help but look at Ding Yao, only to see that the other party had a blank expression and a deep frown on his brows.

They had just witnessed Ji You begging for elixir, which was more like an order than a beg.

But no one could have imagined that Ding Yao actually took the Jingling Pill without saying a word.

You have to know that Ding Yao's personality is extremely arrogant. They have experienced this deeply in the past two days. When he arranged for them to stay, his words were full of sarcasm.

Lingjian Mountain had already won today, so it was kind of Ding Yao not to make a few sarcastic remarks. Why was she so obedient and took the pills?

At this moment, Fang Qing who was there earlier came back in a hurry: "Brother, we didn't invite anyone."

Fang Linchao looked at He Lingxiu, whose breath had stabilized, and waved his hand: "It's all right now. It doesn't matter if he doesn't come."

"yes."

"Wait, you should go again and tell him not to go to Jianlin anymore. Senior Sister He was defeated today, and Lingjian Mountain is already arrogant. Don't let him cause any more trouble."

Fang Qing bowed his head and couldn't help but look embarrassed: "Brother, I can't see him."

Fang Linchao hummed, then turned his head and asked in confusion: "What? Can't see it?"

"I was stopped just as I was going up the mountain. They said that the palace of Master Jian of Lingjian Mountain is just ahead and we cannot enter without permission."

"How did you get to the bedroom of Master Jian of Lingjian Mountain?"

"I only walked to the halfway point of the mountain. It's still a long way from there. Besides, the courtyard that Junior Brother Ji was assigned to is a little further up."

"?"

Ding Yao glanced at Fang Linchao at this time and couldn't help but sneer.

I thought to myself, apart from Master Jian’s parents and personal maid, do you really think that anyone can reach the top of Xuanjian Peak?

Then she put away the medicine box, walked out the door, and headed towards the mountain of Xuanjian Peak.

As soon as she reached the door, she saw Zhuo Wanqiu holding a roasted sweet potato and eating it with the little master who "strolled over by chance".

At this time, Ji You brought a cup of tea over. The young master hesitated for a moment, his eyes flickering, but finally he took it and took a big sip.

Then he stepped back and rake lightly in the furnace with the fire hook.

Ding Yao walked over and frowned slightly: "Why is there a red fingerprint on the judge's face?"

"Master Ji said that the disciples of Xuanjian Peak bullied his disciples of Tianshuyuan, and he wanted to bully them back, so he crushed them like this."

Yan Shuyi was eating sweet potatoes at this time, his eyes narrowed, his expression cold and arrogant.

She heard the two people whispering and felt a little embarrassed.

Just when Ding Yao frowned slightly, she found that Ji You looked up at her, then hooked a small sweet potato tail from the charcoal fire and threw it to her.

Ding Yao took the sweet potato and was stunned for a moment. Then she leaned against the door frame on the left, imitating Zhuo Wanqiu, peeled the skin and took a light bite.

In fact, her background was the same as Ji You's, extremely humble.

But fortunately, she was of similar age to the master of the imperial examination, and was chosen to be a personal maid that year. Since then, she has been working hard to climb up the career ladder.

She had lived a life of luxury for many years and hadn't tasted anything like this for a long time.

At this time, the sun set at the edge of the mountain, and myriad colorful clouds splashed in the clouds. The only remaining light bloomed from the top of the mountain and then slowly converged.

"Is it tasty?"

"?"

Ding Yao was slightly startled and looked at the judge, then nodded slightly.

Yan Shuyi raised the corner of his mouth, revealing a slightly proud expression, and forgot about being pinched on the face just now.

Ji You was also peeling a sweet potato at this time, and couldn't help but ask: "Then Yan Shujing, is she your sister?"

"She is my second uncle's daughter."

After peeling the sweet potato, Ji You nodded: "Wanqiu, I heard someone at the door, can you help me go out and check."

Zhuo Wanqiu stood up, took Ding Yao and walked out of the courtyard.

Ding Yao's sweet potato almost fell to the ground, and she thought to herself, that person told you to do that, why did you drag me along?

At the same time, Yan Shu was also chewing the sweet potato calmly. Not knowing what he was going to do next, she saw Ji You move closer, reached out and pinched the half-eaten sweet potato and took it away.

The young judge watched him snatch the sweet potato away, and with his eyes slightly narrowed, he saw the peeled sweet potato being handed into his hands.

"You eat too slowly. The one you just had has gone cold. I'll give you a hot one."

Yan Shuyi held the hot sweet potato without moving, but his eyes showed a sharpness: "You are not allowed to eat what I have eaten."

Ji You looked at her and was slightly startled: "Why do you miss me so much?"

"You just used your teacup to trick me into drinking water."

"Tsk, you are really good at judging people..."

Ji You peeled the cold sweet potato in his hand and said, "We can't waste food. You know, in Yuyang County, it was rare to see sweet potatoes with red flesh during the Chinese New Year."

Yan Shuyi watched him take a bite of the sweet potato he had gnawed, his face turned red, and he couldn't help but kick him lightly with his feet, and then put him in his arms.

At 4 p.m. today, Yuan Caiwei replied, saying that she had not seen anything, but the handwriting seemed messy when she wrote these few lines, which made her a little concerned.

Because Ji You said that it was a very good thing, and any girl would definitely like it, and it was originally left for her to see.

Ji You didn't know what she was imagining. He ate the sweet potato she had eaten and said, "Who will win tomorrow, Zhuang You or You Buyu?"

"Zhuang You defeated the previous disciple from Tianjian Peak."
