Chapter 379: Let Yuan Caiwei also be scared
The stars and the moon rotate, and the night turns into dawn.
As the cuckoo's call sounded, the faint dawn light began to shine on Shengjing.
The early morning of early spring was actually still a bit chilly. At that time, in the backyard of Wuyou Trading Company, a pair of snow-white feet outside the quilt couldn't help but curl up slightly, and then shrank back gently in the cool breeze and stuck to the man's warm calves.
Sensing the movement, Ji You gently opened his eyes and felt the warmth in his arms.
The snow-white little Jianzhu was leaning against Ji You, lying in his arms, breathing evenly and sleeping gracefully. She looked like an ice beauty taking a nap, but when looking from above, her arms were round and flat.
Yesterday we were discussing the Lingjian, the Heavenly Book and Master Chen, and before we knew it, it was dark.
Perhaps because Ji You was going to Danzong, Yan Shu was a little reluctant to let him go, so he ate dinner very late to hide his guilt, and then stayed behind pretending to be calm.
Ji You still remembered that expression, a look of extremely poor acting.
He let out a long breath, sat up quietly, and moved back with his waist.
But before he could sit up completely, the little master seemed to feel a sense of emptiness, and his little butt couldn't help but lean back.
The bandit, who was fixed with mortise and tenon joints, froze for a moment and felt a little dizzy.
A man who wakes up in the morning is the most vigorous and invincible being in the world, and cannot be touched at all.
"Once the mind is deluded, it will disturb the spirit. Once the spirit is disturbed, it will be attached to all things.
"When one is attached to all things, greed and desire arise; when greed and desire arise, that is affliction."
"Delusions and afflictions bring distress to the body and mind... The true and constant Way is attained by those who understand it, and those who attain it are always pure and tranquil."
During the stiff process, Ji You began to silently recite in his heart.
This is the most widely circulated version of the "Tai Shang Qing Jing Mantra", which is used in conjunction with Taoist practice and is said to be able to enlighten the mind and calm thoughts.
After chanting for a long time, Ji You was silent for a moment, then slowly lay back down.
Crunching——
The rosewood bed began to shake slightly, and Yan Shu, who was sleeping, also began to unconsciously make intermittent whimpering sounds.
After humming for a long time, Yan Shuyi suddenly opened her bright and sleepy eyes, looking silly. As her consciousness gradually became clearer, her face began to look frightened in the bumpy ride.
In an instant, the whimpering sound stopped abruptly.
Ji You seemed to sense something and couldn't help but move closer, but found that Yan Shuyi had not opened his eyes and was still sleeping in the same posture as before, but his body was obviously tense, his expression seemed to be gritting his teeth, and the jade hands placed on the pillow also clenched the sheets.
Haha, you can’t blame me for pretending to sleep.
A soft cry suddenly rang out from the silent room, pure and delicate.
Yan Shuyi, who was forced to speak voluntarily, instantly curled up in the quilt, whimpering and cursing the word "bastard" in his heart.
It is still very comfortable to be in bed on a spring morning, especially when there is something to do.
It’s just that the young lady had poor endurance, and soon she raised her head silently, her jade feet tensed tightly, and she lost all her pride.
After a long time, the exhausted Xiao Jianzhu suddenly felt a strange man coming up from behind her and kissing her on the cheek with tenderness and doting. However, he did not expose her pretend sleep, but got out of bed quietly.
With a creak, the door opened and closed.
Yan Shuyi couldn't help but squint his eyes, then clenched his fist and waved it at his departing figure, like a ferocious little tiger.
At this moment, Ji You, who had just walked out of the door, suddenly stopped, causing her to shrink back instantly, with a hint of fear flashing in her eyes.
However, when Ji You came back, he just took away a bamboo basket in the house and did not bully her again.
It's okay, it's Yuan Caiwei's turn soon...
Yan Shuyi was thinking eagerly when he suddenly heard footsteps coming from the yard.
"Uncle."
"Good morning."
"Um, where is my master..."
"I ate too late last night and fell asleep here. I haven't woken up yet. You guys go sit down and have some tea first."
Hearing this, Yan Shuyi quietly moved inward, avoiding the dripping water for "unknown reason", closed his eyes and prepared to stay in bed for a while.
This was something she couldn't do in Lingjian Mountain, because every time she woke up in Yunding Palace, she felt that there were many things she needed to decide on her own, and she never had the chance to stay in bed.
It was different here. She knew there was a thief outside, so she felt that even a strong wind and heavy rain would not be able to invade the house.
However, the cooling time was too short, so the feeling inside was very obvious, so she failed to stay in bed, so she had to get up and put on her clothes.
When the door was opened, fresh air instantly greeted him. Yan Shuyi, who was neatly dressed, showed a proud expression and turned to look at Ji You who was busy in front of the stove.
"morning."
Yan Shuyi glanced at Ding Yao and Zhuo Wanqiu, then turned and said something to Ji You lightly, as if they had not slept together last night and had just met for the first time this morning.
The acting is really bad, there are so many loopholes if you look closely.
Ding Yao and Zhuo Wanqiu chatted for a while, but did not dare to say what was in their hearts.
"Did you sleep well?"
"good."
The young master nodded slightly, then his cheeks turned slightly red for some reason, and there was a whistling sword energy in his eyes.
But soon, she saw Ji You handing her a peeled peanut, so she opened her mouth and ate it obediently.
The smoke from the cooking stove rose up and slowly drifted into the sky.
Not long after, as the front gate opened, a burst of messy footsteps came in.
The four people in the yard turned around at the same time and saw Cao Jinsong, Wen Zhengxin, Ban Yangshu, and the Lu sisters coming together.
"Didn't you say we'd have lunch at noon? Why are you doing it so early?"
"Prepare the ingredients first."
Ji You held the kitchen knife and spoke softly.
He estimated at noon yesterday that Zuo Qiuyang's progress was almost complete, so he made an appointment with them to have dinner together in advance.
After all, they haven't had a proper gathering since before the new year. This time they set out for Danzong, and they don't know whether the journey will go smoothly. If not, it may be delayed for several days. It's time for them to sit down and have a meal together.
"Master Jian is well."
Cao Jinsong withdrew his gaze from the chopping board at this time, then looked at Yan Shuyi, clasped his fists and bowed slightly.
The same is true for Wen Zhengxin, Ban Yangshu and others.
Lu Qingqiu and Lu Hanyan followed suit, but this was their first time seeing the young master of Lingjian Mountain at such a close distance. They unconsciously looked up and saw a beautiful face with a hint of coldness. They couldn't help but tremble in their hearts and felt a little uneasy.
The two sisters used to think that Yuan Caiwei was the eldest wife, and they even dared to invite her to a banquet to build a good relationship with her, but now they did not dare to act rashly at all.
Because the young lady is not an easy person to get along with, they have been secretly observing her these past few days. They have even gone to bars and teahouses and witnessed her expression as if she is not even close to her husband.
"Master Cao is well, everyone is well."
Yan Shuyi bowed lightly, spoke softly, then looked at the Lu sisters, his eyes couldn't help but narrow slightly.
The young master of the imperial examination naturally knew about the two of them, and had even heard the story of the white-clad swordsman teasing two beautiful women.
Although I know it's just a fabrication, I still feel very jealous.
However, not long after they arrived, Wei Rui also came.
This girl was very lively when facing acquaintances, and she had a deep sisterly relationship with Yan Shuyi, which instantly eased the tense atmosphere in the courtyard.
However, the Lu sisters were still a little reluctant, especially Lu Hanyan.
She had been watched by Yan Shuyi many times before and knew that she was being watched.
"I heard that the young lady is cold-blooded and ruthless, and she's very clear about right and wrong. Some people even said that she broke her personal maid's legs when she discovered she had stolen her jewelry."
"ah?"
When Lu Hanyan heard what Lu Qingqiu said, a trace of panic flashed in her eyes.
Ji You was cutting ingredients nearby and vaguely heard their conversation. The corners of his mouth twitched and he thought to himself that this rumor was really outrageous.
It is true that the tsundere is a little cold on weekdays, but he is actually a soft, kind and lovely person at heart.
Her cold-bloodedness is simply because the burden on her shoulders is too heavy.
At the same time, Ding Yao, who was sitting in front of the tea table, suddenly felt a chill on her legs and couldn't help but reached out and touched them twice.
The early morning time slipped away quietly, Ji You began to put the ingredients into the pot, and then stewed the more time-consuming soup in advance.
Then he closed the pot lid and looked at Wei Rui who was chatting with Yan Shuyi: "Why hasn't Kuang Cheng come yet? I told him to come over and help."
"I don't know. I came from the mansion and was thinking of meeting here."
"This guy clearly has a strong sense of time..."
Wei Rui's expression suddenly changed: "Will it happen again..."
"No, don't worry. He was probably delayed by something." Ji You shook his head and interrupted her.
He knew that Wei Rui was worried that Kuang Cheng would be arrested again, but the possibility was extremely low.
Because going to Danzong is imminent, the three major immortal sects are all willing to make concessions and agree to the conditions he proposed. It is impossible for them to anger him again at this time.
As the soup was ready, Ji You transferred it to the small stove next to the stove to slowly bake it, then washed his hands again and started to cook. As the dishes were served one after another, the aroma of the food began to waft through the yard.
Everyone couldn't help but look up at the young master, waiting for her to take a seat first.
It is not surprising that the concept of hierarchy in Qingyun Tianxia is ingrained in everyone's bones.
However, Yan Shu also raised his eyes at this time and looked at Instructor Cao who was standing beside him.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Cao Jinsong was so moved that he dared not move. He finally coughed and sat down. Then Yan Shuyi sat down slowly, with pride flowing between his brows.
Then Wen Zhengxin, Ban Yangshu and the Lu sisters, who were of the same generation, took their seats.
Just when everyone was seated, Kuang Shusheng arrived late, and kept muttering apologies as he pushed the door open.
Ji You came out of the room with chopsticks, and when he saw him, he couldn't help but look up: "Why are you here at this time?"
"After I got up this morning, I went to South City and met with the house repair shop. We discussed the matter of rebuilding the house."
After returning from Fengzhou, Ji You gave Kuang Cheng a bag of silver and asked him to renovate his house and not always live in his colleague's house.
Unexpectedly, he was arrested as soon as he entered Shengjing. This matter has been delayed until now, and the first step of finding the construction team has not been completed.
Ji You handed him the chopsticks and said, "You went there in the morning and didn't finish talking until noon?"
"We finished the discussion an hour ago, but on the way back I ran into Brother Ruoming and he pulled me over to catch up."
Ji You raised his eyes slightly: "Fang Ruoming? He came to Shengjing?"
Kuang Cheng nodded. "He arrived yesterday. It's said that the Qingzhou border is gradually becoming stable. He came to attend the Great Xia meeting on behalf of the Zhenbei Army. The Sixianjian reported that they would send another delegation. This is the lowest cost to separate the barbarians and monsters. He probably came for this matter."
"I met him before the disaster. He was rushing to the northwest to repair the city wall. I thought the massive attack from the Barbarian and Demon tribes would put him in a difficult position."
"It was a tough battle, but fortunately the section they repaired wasn't in the very center of the breach, so they avoided a large-scale attack. However... the stonemasons didn't escape."
Kuang Cheng's eyes dimmed for a moment, then he remembered something and asked, "Brother Ji, have you found out the whereabouts of Master Chen?"
Ji You shook his head: "No, I think he went somewhere to travel. Is that what Fang Ruoming asked?"
"Brother Ruoming is also a student of Master Chen. He said he went home a few days ago and visited many elderly people, but he didn't find Master Chen. He asked me if I knew him, and I could only shake my head."
"Who is Fang Ruoming?" Yan Shuyi, who had been eating quietly and exuding arrogance, turned to look at Ji You.
Ji You turned and looked at him: "An old friend from Yuyang County, Fang Ruoyao's brother."
Hearing this, Xiao Jianzhu narrowed her eyes slightly, because among all the bees and butterflies, the one she disliked the most was Fang Ruoyao.
Seeing this scene, the Lu sisters at the table couldn't help but lower their heads slightly, thinking that the young master was really jealous.
Kuang Cheng also shrank his head at this time, observed for a while, and confirmed that Fairy Yan had no intention of breaking Brother Ji's legs on the spot, so he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and began to eat his food.
After lunch, everyone chatted in the yard, while Ji You turned around to pack his bags.
The departure time is set for the afternoon, and the people from the four major immortal sects should have gathered.
At this time, Xiao Jianzhu walked into the room and looked at him with a murderous look in his eyes.
Ji You turned his head and glanced at her: "This time we are going to Danzong for the Holy Land of the Ancient Sages. We should do this as soon as possible. Even if I want to stay longer, I can't."
"It's better to stay longer."
"?"
Yan Shuyi narrowed his eyes and stood there with an arrogant look on his face.
Yuan Caiwei was the one she had dragged to bed in a fit of rage, but they were sisters after all. She didn't actually exclude her in her heart, she was just still jealous.
It's better to wait a little longer, so that Yuan Caiwei, that woman, will also be frightened.
After she finished speaking, she turned and left, taking Ding Yao and Zhuo Wanqiu to the Chongwang residence to gather the disciples who had been selected earlier.
After noon, the sun is warm.
In the middle section of Yongsheng Street, countless disciples of the Immortal Sect are gathering one after another.
Gazing from afar, there were more than 500 people wearing the immortal robes of the three sects. All of them were waiting indifferently under the leadership of the selected elders, with no expression that could tell whether they were sad or happy.
Soon, people from Tianshuyuan and Lingjian Mountain also came in a hurry. Among them was Yan Shujing, the direct disciple of Xuanjian Peak, and a rough man who was holding a pen and writing frantically all the way.
Such a grand scene naturally attracted a crowd of onlookers from the taverns and teahouses.
"What's going on? Why has the discussion suddenly stopped, and why are so many people gathered here?"
"He said he was going to Danzong to pay his respects to the mountain."
"Didn't the Dan Sect close the mountain? They didn't even open the formation when Xinyuan was short of food. How could they get in, and they sent so many people?"
"I don't know. Logically speaking, since Danzong has closed the mountain, it shouldn't be possible for anyone to get in."
"Why worry about it? Since the four major immortal sects are doing this, there must be a way to knock on the mountain gate."
Just as everyone was discussing, a figure walked over from Yongsheng Avenue, instantly calming the noise for a moment.
As they looked on, Ji You walked to the front of the crowd.
The leaders of various sects had been waiting here early. When they saw him coming, Zuo Qiuyang was the first to step forward and handed a jade token from his waist to Ji You.
This is the seal of the Immortal Sect, as if the Sect Master is here in person.
Ji You took the jade token and then walked in front of Yan Shuyi. He saw that the young master also took out a jade token with a cold face and gave it to him, and gave him a scare.
Afterwards, Hawking, Shang Xingkong and Chen Longxing also handed over their jade tokens, but their eyes were not friendly when they handed them over.
Seeing this scene, everyone, whether in the wine shop or teahouse, or in the disciples behind the selected elders of each sect, could not help but open their mouths wide.
Because this action means that they all need to obey Ji You's orders throughout this trip.
Is this still the same Ji Wuliu?
In a secluded corner of the teahouse, Fang Ruoyao looked at the figure of Sheng Xue in white, and couldn't help turning her head to look at the young master of Lingjian Mountain in bright red.
When they came out of Yuyang County together, she had never expected this scene. She had never thought that the fiancé who was forced to break off the engagement by her would now be a powerful figure and even become a Taoist couple with the Little Master of Lingjian Mountain.
The fiancé whom she looked down upon back then became the Taoist partner of the most powerful woman in the world.
"Wuliu is an excellent person. To have come this far as a rural private cultivator, the hardships he went through are shocking. He is truly worthy of being a descendant of Yuyang County."
Fang Ruoyao came back to her senses and looked across at herself.
Fang Ruoming was sitting in a black suit at this time, his eyes also looking out the window, turning the teacup in his hand and muttering to himself.
In his sight, the disciples of the Immortal Sect got on the carriages one after another. With a burst of whip sounds, these fully loaded carriages began to head south out of the city along Yongsheng Avenue.
Seeing this scene, Fang Ruoming's eyes gradually became deep.
At this moment, Fang Ruoyao lowered her head and bit her red lips because of her brother's praise.
Over the past five years, her brother has returned home many times, and every time he mentions Ji You, he praises him highly.
It seems that she was the only one who was foolish and ignorant. She thought she would soar into the sky after becoming an immortal, so she missed the opportunity to become a phoenix and marry.
If it weren't for this, she would be able to stand in that place where everyone is watching and watch him go away. Just imagine how honored it would be.
On another restaurant on the south side, Shang Xiyao was also watching this scene. To be more precise, he was looking at Yan Shuyi.
When he clearly sensed the dependence that even Leng Ao could not hide, he could not help but clench his fists.
"Brother Shang, let's drink."
Chen Luo, who was sitting opposite him, couldn't help but speak and filled his glass of wine.
Shang Xiyao turned his head, picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. Then he was startled for a moment, staring at the two empty seats opposite him, his eyes fixed: "Where are Huo Xingzhong and your sister?"
"The elders at home called my sister and Brother Huo away."
