Chapter 91 Asking for a Leave from Heaven
The refugee epidemic is over, and the Yuan siblings will be returning home soon.
Ji You's meal, in addition to celebrating his safe return with Kuang Cheng, can also be regarded as a practice for the two siblings.
After all, they had lived and died together, so they had a kind of friendship between them, even though Yuanchen was a man with evil intentions and often planned to preserve his pure body for his sister.
"Invite us to dinner?"
"Brother-in-law, you don't need to attain enlightenment tonight?"
When Yuanchen heard that Ji You was going to host the party, he was happy but also confused.
He still remembered that a few days ago, his brother-in-law would carry him back home in a hurry every evening and then go to the enlightenment field to gain enlightenment, as if the Heavenly Dao would run away if he stayed up a little longer.
For this, his teacher often shed tears and felt deeply relieved.
Ji You raised the corner of his mouth confidently: "No need tonight, I will ask for leave from my Tiandao later."
Kuang Cheng exchanged some silver at the bank and prepared to send it to the orphanage. Hearing this, he was a little surprised: "This Heavenly Dao... could it be alive? Can it really communicate with immortal cultivators?"
"How can the Heavenly Dao be alive?"
"Then why did Brother Ji ask for leave from Tian Dao before going out to meet us?"
Ji You thought for a moment and then said, "The Heavenly Dao I observed is alive and will get angry if you don't ask for leave."
Yuan Chen, like Kuang Cheng, didn't understand his riddle, but he was obviously more concerned about the food, so he asked, "So what are we having tonight?"
"You can choose whatever you want. After all, I have made a lot of money from you and your sister. Remember to inform your sister after you have made your choice."
"Me? Brother-in-law, I think since you're the host tonight, it would be better if you go."
Although Yuanchen acknowledged Xiao Jianzhu as her elder sister, she always felt that it was a bit inappropriate for her brother-in-law not to be her biological brother-in-law.
As he was about to return to Danzong and didn't know when they would meet again, his heart began to warm up again.
Ji You had to go back to Tianshuyuan to ask for leave from "Tiandao" anyway, so after hearing what he said, he nodded and agreed. Then he returned to the Wudao Field in the evening, sat on the ground, and his mind flew into the sky.
"I'm going out to eat with the Yuan siblings and Kuang Cheng."
"no."
When the fairy at the foot of the Void Mountain heard that he was going out to eat, her face turned cold, then she jumped up from the mountain and kicked him, resulting in her feet being touched several times.
As expected, the strange man was extremely bold.
First he pinched my face and now he's touching my feet. He's not better than me yet, but I've already started thinking about what's going on.
However, every time her snow-white and delicate feet were held in the other person's hands, the fairy always felt a little weak all over and couldn't say the cruel words to kill him.
"Wanqiu has returned to the mountain to report to me several days ago, why haven't the Yuan brothers left yet? Are they really going to live in Tianshuyuan permanently?"
"Didn't I tell you before that Yuanchen is helping me refine medicine and can't go back to the sect for the time being? Now that the matter has been resolved today, this meal can be considered as a token of appreciation for them."
Ji You looked at her and thought that the fairy was being a little sour today.
He told her every day about Yuan Chen's help in treating refugees, so she naturally knew that the elixir was made just yesterday.
But she would ask him every day, wondering why the Yuan siblings hadn't left yet, and she seemed to be very concerned.
Yan Shuyi noticed his gaze and straightened her slender waist pretending to be calm: "Don't think too much, I'm just curious about what you guys are having for dinner tonight?"
"I want to eat the braised bones, but the woman Kuang Cheng likes doesn't seem to want to."
"You only know how to eat the sauced bones."
Yan Shuyi was still upset about the fact that the first time Ji You took him out to eat, he was served the inedible braised pork bones.
It’s no wonder that other women don’t like it. After all, that kind of food is really too unrefined.
What kind of woman would open her mouth as wide as possible to eat meat from bones?
However, when thinking of the Shengjing trip that he had "suddenly taken up on a whim" that day, Yan Shuyi suddenly felt a sense of nostalgia.
Compared with the internal struggles of Lingjian Mountain and the external pressure it is facing now, she is actually extremely envious of Yuan Caiwei who can sit back and chat with Ji You.
She felt that Ji You should have taken her there instead of the Yuan siblings.
"When you come to Shengjing again, I will take you to eat delicious food and introduce you to the girl that Kuang Cheng likes."
"I didn't say I wanted to eat delicious food with you."
"But I feel very envious of the way you look now."
Ji You imitated her and squinted at her for a long time: "Why don't you come down the mountain and play with me now? With your speed in Yingtian Realm, we can still have breakfast together."
Yan Shuyi raised her fair little face and looked at him: "I'm not a little girl who will just follow anyone."
"I don't know who it was last time, but he came here without kidnapping."
"I already said that I just happened to come here last time. I didn't come here specifically to see you. Go eat your braised bones."
Yan Shuyi drove him away and sat on the empty mountain with her rosy cheeks in her hand. She actually felt an urge to run away from home.
Afterwards, Ji You got up and left the enlightenment field, heading towards the small courtyard in Tianshu Academy that was arranged for the disciples of Danzong.
At this moment, a group of people just walked away in front of the courtyard.
They came from the inner courtyard, led by He Lingxiu, a direct disciple of Zizai Hall, and You Buyu, a direct disciple of Jixiang Hall.
In the past few days, under the guidance of Danzong and Tianshuyuan, Yuan Caiwei and You Buyu have been in contact, and today is no exception.
In the inner courtyard, several people admired the new buds sprouting in the vast forest and the spring breeze surrounding the sea of clouds.
You Buyu behaved in an elegant manner and spoke in a humorous way, which often made Yuan Caiwei smile, and he was quite satisfied with it.
Originally they had agreed to have dinner together at a restaurant tonight, but Yuan Caiwei said that she would be leaving tomorrow and wanted to have a good rest, so You Buyu followed everyone to send her back.
At this moment, seeing Ji You coming from the foot of the mountain and going straight into Yuan Caiwei's yard, several people couldn't help but stop.
In the past few days, the news that disciples from Tianshu Academy took Dan Zong's relatives to the outside of the city to treat refugees has been widely circulated in the academy. Even they find it difficult to see through this person's style.
Like those who called it "a waste of God's gifts", they also felt that it was extremely difficult to get to know an alchemist, let alone a direct disciple of the Alchemy Sect.
With such an opportunity, one naturally requires a furnace of elixir that can improve one's realm.
Bring it to treat refugees? That's crazy...
But when everyone found Ji You's behavior incomprehensible and felt that he was not willing to take any opportunity, other rumors began to spread.
Some people said that the direct descendant of the Dan Sect had always called Ji You "brother-in-law" when he was outside the city.
Yuan Chen calls Yuan Caiwei "sister", so the first word in "brother-in-law" naturally refers to the daughter of the head of the Dan Sect.
Then some people with bright minds began to wonder if the experience of living and dying together in the ruins had already led the couple to secretly get married.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
However, not many people believe this.
Danzong is indeed willing to be on good terms with Tianshuyuan. After all, the matter of the ruins has been causing panic among the people. Everyone has become much more vigilant and feels that chaos has already emerged, so Danzong hopes to be protected.
For someone like Yuan Caiwei, the benefits she could gain from being sent to marry someone are sometimes greater than her talent in alchemy.
After many days of contact, You Buyu felt that Yuan Caiwei had a very good impression of him and was always smiling when talking to him, so the rumor about him being his "brother-in-law" must be unreliable.
But since there was such a rumor, Ji You came to Yuan Caiwei's yard alone at this moment, and Yuan Chen was not with him, so he was more or less likely to be watched.
"Ji You, what is he doing here?"
He Lingxiu thought for a moment and then said, "He must be here to look for Miss Caiwei. Miss Caiwei has been with us these past few days and he has not had the chance to see her. Perhaps he heard that they were leaving tomorrow and hurried over."
You Buyu frowned upon hearing this: "He has a very good relationship with the direct disciple of the Dan Sect, why would he need to come to Miss Caiwei again?"
"No matter how good the Dan Sect's direct disciple is, he is still a man."
"What does Junior Sister Lingxiu mean?"
He Lingxiu turned to look at him: "Making friends is far less stable than being married. Ji You comes from the countryside and has no family background, so his thoughts are naturally more complicated. Senior Brother You, I'm afraid you have a competitor."
You Buyu chuckled when he heard this: "I am a hall master who has reached the Rong Dao realm, and he is only in the Tong Xuan realm in the outer courtyard. Don't let others hear what you said, lest they laugh at you."
"Brother You, don't forget that he saved Miss Caiwei's life after all."
"Miss Caiwei is an extremely cold and arrogant woman. She only smiled at me and was very open about her kindness and affection. It would be strange if she would pay attention to me approaching with such a purpose."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone found Ji You walking out of Yuan Caiwei's yard.
Seeing this, You Buyu and others couldn't help but look at He Lingxiu, wanting to see if she would feel embarrassed.
He was asked to leave after being in there for less than a quarter of an hour. What He Lingxiu said before seemed a little funny at this moment.
But at this moment, everyone's laughter stopped abruptly.
Because at this time, under the moonlight at dusk, as Ji You walked out of the yard, Yuan Caiwei also followed her out, and the Yuan Caiwei at this time was very different from what they saw during the day.
The difference is in the attire.
Yuan Caiwei did not wear the red robe she had always worn, but changed into a long snow-white skirt, and also wore a jade hairpin and a step-shaking ornament, with a smoky-eyed makeup and graceful steps.
And You Buyu suddenly realized that Yuan Caiwei had never dressed up during these days of traveling together.
He only remembered that she was the daughter of the Dan Sect's headmaster, so he thought she was naturally more radiant. But only now did he realize that she could be even more beautiful than he saw.
But……
She doesn't dress for herself.
"Miss Caiwei is so beautifully dressed. What is she going to do with Jiyou?"
"It seems like we are going down the mountain..."
"Didn't she say she wanted to rest early today?"
He Lingxiu was also a little stunned at this time. Looking at You Buyu's unbelievable eyes, she didn't know what to say for a moment.
There is also competition among the five palaces in the inner courtyard, so the relationship between He Lingxiu and You Buyu is not very good.
The reason why she said all this tonight was not because she thought that the eldest daughter of Danzong would look down on the outer courtyard disciple, but because she was not able to get along well with Yuanchen, and she felt a little unhappy.
But she really didn't expect to see such a scene.
Yuan Caiwei followed behind him slowly, looking at the man in front of her. No one would believe her if she said nothing.
He Lingxiu suddenly opened her mouth and thought of a possibility.
It wasn’t because Yuan Caiwei had been hanging out with them that Ji You had no chance to see him.
But Ji You never asked her to join them, so Yuan Caiwei would always hang out with them...
Why?
He Lingxiu couldn't understand, first he was a younger brother and then a older sister, what was the difference between these outer courtyard disciples.
