Chapter 33: A Sword for You

After accepting disciples on behalf of the king's teacher, Ji You returned to the outer courtyard from the office.

However, as soon as he arrived at the White Jade Platform, Ban Yangshu and Ji Qirui caught up with him, each holding a magic sword in his hand, and wanted to give it to him as a thank you gift.

Ji You waved his hands and pushed him away, but finally, unable to refuse the kindness, he tied the sword around his waist and fastened it with a knot.

The senior brother in the inner courtyard is too rich, yet simple-minded. Ji You feels a little emotional.

He finally had some motivation to enter the inner courtyard.

"I didn't even see when Junior Brother Ji fastened the button..."

"With this hand speed, I still concealed my incompetence when I fought with that evil creature that day..."

“…”

After bidding farewell to his two senior brothers, Ji You headed towards Bishui Lake Elegant Garden.

When he got a little closer, he found a woman standing in front of his door.

The woman was wearing a snow-white gauze skirt and holding a crescent-white sword. She looked around and it was Lou Siyi who had attended the banquet with her that day.

No matter what a woman's personality is, weakness is the most important element.

When you are rescued by a man when you are attacked on the street, you always have some little thoughts.

So when she knew that Ji You didn't have a sword of his own, she asked someone to buy him a good sword.

However, the person Lou Siyi was waiting for at the door was not Ji You, but two other close friends who were very familiar to her, coming from different directions.

One of them was Lu Qingqiu, a rich girl from Yunzhou. She came with a jeweled sword in her hand, her skirt fluttering in the air.

The other person was Sun Zhiqiao, who also had a long sword in his hand.

However, the three women did not seem to have communicated with each other in advance. They were stunned for a moment after meeting each other, and then noticed the sword in everyone's hand, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Why are you here?"

"Master Ji doesn't have a sword, I'll give him one..."

After listening to Lou Siyi's answer, Lu Qingqiu turned to Sun Zhiqiao and said, "You said we were sisters, but you acted without consulting us?"

Sun Zhiqiao held the sword in her hand and blushed: "Giving a sword to a man is easy to be misunderstood, not to mention that he is Fang Ruoyao's fiancé, how can I say it out loud."

Lu Qingqiu raised her eyebrows slightly: "You also know that he is Fang Ruoyao's fiancé, and you still have the nerve to come and give him a sword?"

"But Qingqiu, it seems you are here to give me a sword as a gift, right?"

Lu Qingqiu was choked and pursed his lips for a long time before speaking: "I hosted the banquet yesterday, and I am also responsible for the attack. Besides, he saved me twice yesterday, so I can't just say nothing. It would be too inhumane."

Sun Zhiqiao and Lou Siyi looked at each other and said, "We are also saved by him."

"He saved you just as a favor. You don't have to be so polite."

"?"

Lou Siyi and Sun Zhiqiao were slightly startled, wondering why saving us became a bystander.

Besides, it should be Ji You who said there’s no need to be so polite.

Lu Qingqiu ignored them and continued to talk to herself, "Besides, he only held my sword tightly that day. I think he liked it very much, so I gave him a similar one."

"It's just that your sword was closer to him. If mine was closer, the one he was holding tightly must be mine."

Lu Qingqiu didn't know where the sisters got their confidence from: "When a man chooses a sword, he will definitely choose the one he likes at first sight."

Lou Siyi rolled her eyes at her and said, "Of course I would just do it casually in a life-or-death situation. How could I be as clever as Qingqiu?"

"you……"

Seeing the two men about to quarrel, Sun Zhiqiao immediately said, "Okay, okay, since he can use three swords, then it would be perfect for us to give one to each of them."

Lou Siyi stopped talking after hearing this, but began to hesitate again: "Should we inform Fang Ruoyao's fiancé before we send the sword to her?"

Lu Qingqiu raised his head: "We don't have any other thoughts. Since we have a clear conscience, why do we need to do something unnecessary? It will only make people feel that there is something wrong."

But just as he finished speaking, two figures came running over, one was Qian Yunxiao and the other was Bai Rulong.

Both of them also had a sword in their hands, and were somewhat surprised when they bumped into the three women.

It seemed that they all thought the same thing.

Ji You stood on a mountain path not far away and watched this scene, thinking that now it was good, he was going to become the left captain.

"Master Ji."

Lu Qingqiu just happened to see him coming along the mountain path, and stretched out her fair jade arm to wave at him: "Has the investigation of the Office of the Director General yielded any results?"

Ji You shook his head: "This is strange, and the Directorate has no clue at the moment. You should try not to go out these few days."

"You mean to say that they will commit crimes again?"

"The criminals' motives are still unclear, so it is impossible to tell whether they will stop."

Bai Rulong hesitated for a while before speaking: "I have been tossing and turning these past few days, and I think it was my half-brother who hired someone to do this."

Lou Siyi couldn't help but speak up: "I think they came here for me, maybe they are eyeing my spiritual medicine."

Ji You smiled after hearing this.

If it was really what they thought, then this matter would be simple.

But the problem is that this explanation cannot explain why Zhang Congzhi, Cai Ziyao and three other practitioners were killed.

In the Qingyun world, the conspiracy behind the murder of the disciples of the Immortal Sect so unscrupulously must be far greater than they imagined.

Ji You came back to his senses, looked at the swords in everyone's hands and coughed: "By the way, what do you want from me?"

Lou Siyi and Sun Zhiqiao then remembered their intention and immediately stepped forward with swords in hand: "Master Ji, we heard that you don't have a sword, so we picked one out for you to thank you for saving our lives."

Lu Qingqiu also raised the sword in his hand: "And me."

Bai Rulong and Qian Yunxiao also nodded: "We too, thank you Brother Ji for saving us two, from now on we will follow Brother Ji!"

"Hey, what are you talking about?"

Ji You waved his hand and took the five swords one by one: "I will accept the swords, but they are too valuable for my brother. It is not appropriate."

"?"

Ji You took the sword back into the house, then lit the charcoal stove, put a few sweet potatoes on it, and filled a pot of water.

Seeing that the five people were still outside, he waved and invited them in.

Although he had no good feelings towards the children of aristocratic families, he had accepted their swords after all, so he couldn't just not give them even tea.

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

The sweet potatoes are roasted in the red-hot furnace, giving off a fragrant aroma, while the hot water is boiling first.

Ji You prepared the tea, brewed a cup first, and handed it to Lu Qingqiu on his right: "Put it aside first, be careful of the heat."

"Thanks……"

Lu Qingqiu took the teacup and couldn't help but look at Ji You.

On the night of the attack, this man pushed her away without hesitation, exchanged positions with her in front of the sword, and couldn't let go of her sword.

Now the first cup of tea was given to me, and the tone was so gentle.

Looking more closely, among the five teacups on the table, only hers and Ji You's two were of the same pattern, as if they were a pair.

As expected, there are some thoughts that have nothing to do with friendship between classmates...

Miss Lu, the daughter of Yunzhou, could not help but hold her chin and stare at Ji You's profile for a while.

Ji You could indeed be described as a handsome man, and even his temperament was very good.

She only knew that the other party was a rural private cultivator from a remote area, but she had never noticed this.

After looking for a long time, Lu Qingqiu came back to his senses and couldn't help but sigh.

I can see how good he is to me, but unfortunately, I will not choose him.

He did nothing wrong, except that he came from a humble background.

Before coming to Tian Academy, the elders of the Lu family had hinted to Lu Qingqiu that he should make friends with Chu He.

Because every member of the Chu family is a master of the upper five realms, and their talents can be inherited through bloodline, which is terrifying.

But Lu Qingqiu didn't like Chu He. She always felt that he was too radical and had a dark mind. Compared with him, a man like Ji You was much better than him.

But even so, Lu Qingqiu still wouldn't choose him.

The Lu family of Yunzhou started out with spiritual mines, and was already quite envied, so they needed to unite with more forces through marriage.

That's why her aunt married the son of an elder of Shanhai Pavilion.

Although the elder's son is uneducated, he can make those who covet the Lu family's spiritual mine dare not act rashly. This is the alliance.

Unless Ji You can become the hall master's direct disciple, and then stay in the sect to become an elder, he will have many branches and take root in Tianshu Academy.

But the probability of this happening is too low.

There are countless examples of people who were extremely talented in the outer courtyard but gradually became mediocre after entering the inner courtyard. Brother Ban is one of them.

Human power is limited; only aristocratic families can pass on for thousands of generations.

Qingyun Tianxia is such an iron plate.

There was a folk play that told the story of a daughter of a noble family falling in love with a scholar from a poor family. In the end, they were determined to be together until death, and they turned into butterflies and flew away together.

But that is, after all, just a play, a play that only people from the lower classes can write.

Lu Qingqiu thought for a long time and felt that he should find an opportunity to explain the pros and cons to him.

At this time, Ji You had no idea that the young lady next to him would have such intense and ups and downs in her inner drama.

What he was thinking now was that because of this attack, it seemed like he hadn't been to the Heavenly Book to appreciate and discuss the Dao for a long time.

"It's getting late, we should go back."

After drinking a few pots of tea and chatting for a while, Lu Qingqiu suggested leaving.

Seeing this, the others looked up at the sky and found that it was indeed approaching dusk, so they responded one after another.

But surprisingly, Ji You also stood up and followed them out of the yard and closed the gate.

"It's such a long journey, but you still have to come and send me off..."

Lu Qingqiu was somewhat worried about Ji You's silent and secret care.

But before she could open her mouth to refuse, she found that Ji You did not go with him, but turned around and went to the enlightenment field.
