Chapter 295 Peace Every Year
Wandering around the lantern festival, listening to operas and watching music, drinking from the glasses, the night at this moment is definitely deep and boundless.
However, the word "又" in "又深" means that there was a similar late night before. Yan Shu, who was drinking tea, and Yuan Caiwei both remembered the night before when you sang and I took the stage.
As soon as this thought came to mind, the four white and tender jade feet under the tea table curled up instantly.
After the fierce battle last night, except for some communication in the early morning, the three did not mention what happened last night all day.
Sweeping the courtyard, pasting couplets, eating, and admiring lanterns were all as if nothing had happened.
This was mainly because every scene last night seemed absurd, so not only Yan Shuyi refused to admit it, but Yuan Caiwei was also avoiding it, so that even though her tone was soft in the morning, she still called him Young Master.
In the eyes of the two women, it might be easier to accept it in the future by letting things take their own course.
But the night now was just like yesterday’s night, the main characters were all there, there was no one else. Ji You’s words “It’s late again” contained a huge amount of information, which instantly broke the two people’s pretended calmness.
Yan Shuyi looked at him with raised eyebrows: "Since Master Ji also said that it is getting late, then I will not disturb you. We just met by chance. Thank you for your hospitality today."
They are all filled up and we met by chance...
After hearing this, Yuan Caiwei blinked her eyes and pretended that she understood nothing. She moved her hips slightly and decided to follow him back.
She had used up all her pills, and without Little Master Jian to share the firepower with her, she couldn't handle it alone and thought it would be fatal.
As for the young lady, she has not admitted what happened last night all day, so she won't be fooled again easily.
Even if she was done, she couldn't be done side by side with Yuan Caiwei again, unless she couldn't bear it anymore.
But the next moment, they found Ji You taking out a stack of cards and a stack of red envelopes from the drawer.
"After the New Year comes the first day of the new year, may every year be peaceful."
"?"
Yan Shuyi took her own from his hand, opened it and took a look. She saw a stack of silver bills and pursed her lips slightly.
Yuan Caiwei also took it, opened it and saw the silver bill inside, her eyes slightly rippling.
This is the most vulgar thing in the world of Qingyun, but both of them know that Ji You is very tight with money and will not give up anything for them.
"Last time, I spent all my money on using the Dan Sect's spare pills to whet the appetite of Fengzhou Xianzhuang, so I didn't pay. Today I'm making up for the previous times."
Yan Shuyi and Yuan Caiwei looked up at him, knowing that he was saying that the red envelope had been prepared a long time ago and had nothing to do with what happened last night.
Ji You spread the cards on the table: "What I meant just now is that it's late at night, do you want to play cards?"
"You bastard."
"Why do you look so shy?"
Yan Shuyi narrowed his eyes and thought that this bastard was quite quick-witted.
He was clearly touching my feet just now, and it was obvious that he wanted to argue, but now he is seriously talking about playing cards.
She looked at the deck of cards that Ji You brought with a coveted gaze, and suddenly a hint of curiosity flashed across her face.
This deck of cards was the same one they had played in Xianxian Garden before, but the cards had been repainted.
The big trump card had a picture of a woman holding a sword with a spiritual mirror hanging above her head. Although the painting was not very good, it was obviously her at first glance.
Yuan Caiwei also saw a card that looked like herself.
I was able to tell it was me not because the painting looked very similar, but mainly because there was a three-legged cauldron in front of the woman.
"You drew it?"
Ji You nodded and said, "I just paint when I have nothing to do during my practice. I just finished it before the New Year."
Yan Shuyi raised her eyes and realized that if it weren’t for what happened yesterday, perhaps the strange man just wanted to drag them to play cards together.
When she thought of this, she couldn't help but recall the scene of him enduring and asking her to leave quickly last night.
Although the bastard kept talking about life and death when they met, he never forced himself on her, nor did he use sweet words to deceive her into taking his body as described in folk tales.
Ji You spread the cards in his hand flat on the table: "Let me make a deal first, if you lose you have to take off a piece of clothing."
"?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Shuyi punched her, and Yuan Caiwei couldn't help but bite her lips.
After playing so many tricks, the bastard still wanted to get them.
Ji You blocked the punch and secretly said, "It's okay, it's okay, there's still a long way to go..."
In fact, he knew in his heart that if it was only one of them, they might have been half-hearted, but with the three of them... he could only say that the elixir had made a huge contribution, and it would be extremely difficult to replicate it.
Besides, Yan Shuyi didn't admit it at all and refused to call him husband while crying in his arms. It was difficult to get any of her, and everything else was just a luxury.
Ji You felt that a person's heart being dirty was a noble thing, different from adultery. He was not the kind of person who would spend all his time thinking about such things every day just because he had taken advantage of someone by accident.
Anyway, the person is his and he can't run away.
It might be easier to wait until they are separated and then defeat them one by one.
Ji You reached out to grab the cards and found that Yuan Caiwei suddenly came up to him, as if she wanted to see what was drawn on the next card, so he reached out and scratched her nose.
Then he caught a glimpse of the beautiful fairy next to him with his peripheral vision, narrowing her eyes, and the sword energy whistled in the room.
Even though they had fought together before, he is still as jealous as ever.
The Lantern Festival of the New Year will last for three days, so the excitement continues until the next morning. The streets and alleys covered by the morning mist are full of people walking and worshiping.
Just after the hour of Mao, light snow began to fall.
The backyard of Wuliu Trading Company was pushed open, and Cao Jinsong, Ban Yangshu and Wen Zhengxin came in one after the other.
They were busy during the festival and had no time to retreat quietly. Yesterday, they were invited to a banquet by the new students from Fengzhou, so they came to Wuliu Company early this morning.
As soon as they entered the door, they saw the young master of Lingjian Mountain sitting in front of the tea table and sipping tea. She was as beautiful as a fairy in a painting.
Yesterday, the three of them played cards all night. Yuan Caiwei was the first to become exhausted and was carried back to Ji You's room to rest.
It is unknown whether Yuan Caiwei was taken advantage of after entering the room, but when Ji You came back, Xiao Jianzhu knew that she was kissed on the mouth.
But even though she kissed him, she still looked the same, as if she had never eaten or done anything like that. When she asked him, he was a strange man. She was so aggressive when she kissed him that she didn't even close her eyes.
Then she also found that the taste in Ji You's mouth was another kind of green salt, and she couldn't help but bite him and gave him a wound.
Now Ji You went to the kitchen to make breakfast, and she started to sit and drink tea.
When Cao Jinsong and others saw her, they couldn't help but stop and looked at each other in the snowy courtyard.
"So the young master spent the New Year in Shengjing?"
"Um……"
"It seems that the woman who lived in Junior Brother Ji's yard a few years ago was indeed her."
They discovered that there was an affair between Lingjian Mountain's Little Master and Ji You during the Tiandao Conference, and they also guessed that the woman that Ji You had kept in the yard was her, but it was not confirmed until this moment.
But even so, the three of them couldn't help but feel a little nervous when they saw her.
The youngest person in the world who is in the boundless realm and the next headmaster of Lingjian Mountain, he always seems to be superior to others.
Especially at this moment, Yan Shuyi had a faint expression. Although he did not release any aura, he had been in a high position for many years, and the natural sense of oppression still existed, making people dare not overstep their boundaries.
Yan Shuyi had already sensed someone entering the courtyard. He turned around and saw that it was Cao Jinsong and others, so he stood up from the bamboo couch with the tea table on it.
Seeing this scene, Cao Jinsong bowed slightly.
When they were watching the battle at the Tiandao Society, they mistakenly entered the observation building of Xiao Jianzhu. At that time, Xiao Jianzhu was also like this. After seeing her, he stood up and his etiquette was impeccable.
"Greetings, Master Jianzhu."
Yan Shu also said softly: "Hello, three of you."
Cao Jinsong looked around the room and asked, "Where is my beloved disciple?"
“Cooking in the kitchen.”
"Master Jian, have you been doing well in Shengjing these days?"
Yan Shu also nodded gently: "This master came to Shengjing to stroll around with the original intention of practicing in the secular world, but I never thought that I would meet Ji You by chance. I have been treated by him for the past few days and have been living quite well."
After hearing Xiao Jianzhu distance himself from the matter, the three of them didn't believe it at all.
They went back to Fengzhou together during the Tiandao Conference, and saw the little master of Lingjian Mountain running out every day and hearing people calling her Madam Ji.
As they were talking, Ji You came out of the courtyard carrying breakfast. After entering the hall, he looked at Cao Jinsong and asked, "Why are you here?"
"It happened to be the New Year, so I was temporarily out of quarantine and came to see you."
Ji You looked at the three of them and found that their aura was indeed much stronger than the last time they met. It seemed that their practice was going well.
Cao Jinsong and the other two were also looking at him at this time, their gazes focused on the fresh teeth marks at the corners of his mouth. They thought that this was the hospitality that the young master of Lingjian Mountain had mentioned.
At this moment, Yan Shuyi, holding the hot spring in his hand, suddenly stood up from the table and walked towards the yard.
Ji You subconsciously looked back and found that Ding Yao and Zhuo Wanqiu had returned to the courtyard. It seemed that they had sent Yuan Chen back to the Wei family villa and came to report.
He didn't pay much attention to it, but turned to look at Cao Jinsong: "How is the effect of the Fang family's spiritual platform?"
Cao Jinsong turned his eyes away from the corner of his mouth: "The effect is really extraordinary. I estimate that in two or three years, I will be able to break through."
"Two or three years?"
"This is already fast. Do you think everyone is like you?"
Cao Jinsong knew that there was something wrong with Ji You's practice, otherwise he should have entered the Rong Dao realm in the summer two years ago.
But in fact, it is normal for practitioners to remain the same for decades. Even the Little Master of Lingjian Mountain, who has the highest talent in practice, needs many years to cross a major realm.
Ji You was holding the porridge at this time: "Elder Fang may be looking for trouble with you because the spirit platform is in your hands."
"No, Elder Fang left the hospital and never asked about the Lingtai again."
"?"
Ji You stopped moving and asked, "When did you leave the hospital?"
Cao Jinsong frowned and thought for a moment: "Probably seven or eight days before the New Year."
"Seven or eight days..."
Ji You calculated the days and frowned slightly.
Seeing this, Cao Jinsong couldn't help but lean forward and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I once met Fang Jincheng who was out for fun in Zuixianlou. At that time, I was surprised that Elder Fang dared to let him out. It turned out that it was because he was not in Nishan. But why did he leave the mountain at this time?"
Cao Jinsong stroked his long beard and said, "He said he was going home. You know he didn't have much time left. He had to give instructions to his family before his death. You may never see him again."
Ji You scooped up the rice porridge in the bowl again: "Good people don't live long, evil people leave a thousand years, he still has a few years to live, he can't just go home and die."
Ban Yangshu couldn't help but speak up when he heard this: "Master Cao means that Elder Fang might pass on his skills to his children."
"Transmit power?"
"It is to pass on the knowledge you have learned to your descendants in a way that will give them enlightenment, so as to ensure the continuation of the family's glory. However, this technique consumes a lot of lifespan, and it must be used until you die. But it is indeed a forbidden technique that has become increasingly popular in some aristocratic families."
After hearing this, Cao Jinsong said, "The Fang family has a huge influence in Zhongzhou because Elder Fang is in charge of Tianshu Academy. If he really passes away, the Fang family will be weak for a long time, and it may cause chaos in Zhongzhou for a while."
When a person is about to die, everything becomes empty. It is a good thing to leave the knowledge you have learned to your descendants. At least it can ensure that the family will not decline.
However, after all, without a person in the Borderless Realm, the family's strength will be greatly reduced. Other families will not wait for them to recover and will definitely take action.
In fact, this is not uncommon.
Whenever a powerful person dies, conflicts always arise in the various states of Qingyun.
It’s just like if Ji You unfortunately died, Fengzhou would be divided up by the aristocratic families of the other eight states. The principle is the same.
However, giving enlightenment to the younger generations does not seem to be the only option when the end is approaching. At this moment, Ji You suddenly remembered the elder who attacked and killed him with his divine mind.
He also inquired about it later, and found out that the person was in the divine wandering state who had lived for endless years. His life span had long been exhausted, but later he used some unknown secret technique to prolong his life at the cost of falling asleep.
Ji You knew the other elder quite well and thought that it was more likely that he would continue to survive with this secret technique and might not return home to pass on his skills.
In fact, Cao Jinsong also had doubts about his departure.
Because the Fang family's spiritual altar is a heirloom, he should take the spiritual altar back even if he is going to die.
"Ji You."
"What's wrong, Senior Sister?"
"How on earth did you capture the heart of such a cool and beautiful fairy?"
Wen Zhengxin had not participated in the conversation, but was staring at the young master in the yard. At this time, he turned around and said something to Ji You.
Hearing the voice, everyone looked outside the courtyard and saw Yan Shuyi standing sideways in the courtyard, holding a letter with a cold and arrogant look on his face.
As if he noticed that all eyes were focused on him, Xiao Jianzhu looked back, and when he saw Ji You, he narrowed his eyes out of habit, making everyone stare at him.
Wen Zhengxin and Ban Yangshu did not stay in Wuliu Trading Company for too long, as they were anxious to go back to practice.
Cao Jinsong knew that some students would visit him today and give him gifts, so he left as well.
There was nothing important for them to come here for, they just came here for the Xinyuan customs.
Ji You sent them to the backyard gate, and when he came back, he found that Yan Shuyi had returned to the hall, and Ding Yao and Zhuo Wanqiu had already eaten the porridge.
"Uncle."
"Yuan Chen went back?"
Zhuo Wanqiu nodded and asked quietly, "My son-in-law played cards with my master last night?"
Ji You nodded: "Not bad."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the confused looks in Ding Yao and Zhuo Wanqiu's eyes.
But they didn't know that what they were thinking about was what they had left over from last night.
Ji You sat cross-legged at the table and continued to eat the porridge he had not finished before, when he felt a foot resting on his leg under the table.
Soon, Ding Yao and Zhuo Wanqiu finished their porridge: "Master Jian, we are done eating, let's go back and pack up first."
Yan Shu also nodded gently: "Go ahead."
Ji You looked up at Yan Shuyi and said, "Pack your things?"
"I have been in Shengjing for many days and my mind has gradually become clearer. Besides, we are just acquaintances, and it would be bad to disturb you further, so I have decided to return to the mountains."
Yan Shuyi swayed his legs and then drank the porridge in small sips.
Ji You looked at her and said, "If you are pregnant, could you please send me a letter to let me know?"
The young master narrowed his eyes: "I don't know what you are talking about."
Yuan Caiwei soon woke up from the room and walked to the side hall.
She was not awakened from her sleep, but was woken up by the disciples of Tianshu Academy who came to convey a message. When she entered the side hall, she saw the wound on the corner of Ji You's mouth.
Sister Jianzhu was cold for a whole day and night, but after she fell asleep, she got close to Master Ji again.
She felt that after she left, even if her sister continued to act, she would be taken to the room and call her husband "husband".
"woke up?"
"Um."
Ji You handed him the chair and asked, "Do you want to eat?"
Yuan Caiwei sat down and said, "I have something to tell you, my dear master and my sister. My uncle sent a letter from the Tian Academy saying that my father has sent a message to my younger brother and me to return to Dan Sect immediately."
Yuan Chen was not in a good position to control the holy weapon, so she could not go down the mountain this time. It was only because of her pleading that her father let her go.
Now that she has the help of Little Master Jian, and knows that Yuan Chen is not rejected by the holy weapon, she also wants to ask Yuan Chen to try again.
Besides, her father's tone in the message seemed urgent. She wasn't sure if something had happened on the mountain, and she felt a little worried.
Ji You didn't tell him to let him know if she was pregnant, because she wasn't as arrogant as Yan Shuyi. If she was really pregnant, she would definitely let him know.
However, what Yuan Caiwei did not expect was that when she decided to go back to the Wei family villa to find her younger brother first, Yan Shuyi and Ji You also followed her.
She thought they were seeing her off, but she heard that Xiao Jianzhu was also going back to the mountain.
"Why is Sister Jianzhu so anxious?"
"I've been away from the mountain for too long. I have to go back and show my face."
"That won't happen in the next one or two days."
"We have to leave eventually, and it won't take just one or two days."
After Yan Shuyi finished speaking, he turned and looked at Ji You.
When Yuanchen heard that they were going to set off back to the mountain, he was completely desperate and begged Ji You to persuade his sister.
After looking for a while, Yan Shuyi turned around and went back to his room, packed up his belongings and put them into the storage gourd.
It was bright outside the window at this time, and the sunlight shone through the window lattice, casting patches of light all over the ground. Master Jian packed up his things, then took out from his sleeve the letter that Ding Yao and Zhuo Wanqiu had just brought back.
Throughout the winter, she sent people to keep a close eye on the movements of those immortal sects, especially those elders who left the Dongping Mountains but did not return to their sect.
There was a message before saying that they had returned to Qingzhou, and Yan Shuyi thought they were going to re-investigate the Bu family, but when he received the message today, he found that this was not the case.
After these people returned to Qingzhou, they followed the Wujiang River in the southeast and entered the Great Wilderness Forest.
Qingzhou, Liangzhou, Lingzhou and Yongzhou are adjacent to each other but not bordering each other. There is a vast forest called Dahuang between the four states, which is also an ancient land.
The disciples sent out to follow them all the way through the mountains and forests, and finally found that they disappeared in front of a ruins comparable to Qiling.
Since ancient times, the ancient ruins have been an unknown place, especially the most vast ones, which are simply impossible for humans to enter.
But now, another relic has been opened.
If the secret of the Bu family's evil species is inside, then it will definitely be a catastrophe.
It was inconvenient for Xiao Jianzhu to receive the message in Shengjing, so he decided to return to the mountain first.
She has not yet decided whether to tell Ji You about this matter, because judging from the incident in Dongping Mountain, the strange man was too reckless about his own life.
He might get himself swept up in it before things became clear.
After noon, the luggage was packed into the carriage.
The fairy's face appeared from the car window, with a hint of coldness and arrogance. She looked at the man who waved gently, as if she was thinking of cutting off all feelings and desires.
Not long after the carriage headed south, a letter from the Office of Administration was delivered to the hands of Zuo Qiuyang, the master of Zizai Palace.
This letter has a similar origin to the one in Xiao Jianzhu's hand, and it also came all the way from Qingzhou.
At the same time, there were letters from the Daodao Sect, the Shanhai Pavilion, the Chen Immortal Clan... one after another was quietly delivered while speeding.
