"Yan'er, do you know something?" Ji Chenyuan stared at her, not missing a single expression on her face.
Ji Fengyan regained her senses and recalled the words she had spoken before fainting, "Father...I...I..."
As Ji Fengyan spoke, she lowered her head.
Ji Chenyuan and Zhou Haiping understood everything at this point.
"Yan'er, tell me honestly, how did you know?" Zhou Haiping asked.
Ji Fengyan said guiltily, "It was Mother, you know that night... My brother and I were just about to look for you when we heard Father say..."
Even the wind knows that Ji Chenyuan is involved?
"Father, I don't agree to let her live in Qinglan Courtyard!" Ji Fengyan said with dissatisfaction, remembering what she had said before she fainted.
"Yan'er, listen to your father, just be patient for a while!" Zhou Haiping said seriously.
Seeing that her parents, who loved her most, were now siding with outsiders, Ji Fengyan felt a deep hatred for Ji Jiuying.
Ji Jiuying, you insisted on coming, didn't you? Then I'll kill you!
······
Ji Jiuying returned to the Princess's residence and opened the door to see Gong Mingyue sleeping on the soft couch.
"Gong Mingyue? Gong Mingye?" Ji Jiuying called out tentatively.
Seeing that he did not respond, her brow furrowed slightly.
Could this guy be pretending to be asleep to lure her over there?
Although Ji Jiuying thought this way, she still approached him with some worry.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she got close, she was grabbed by a large hand and fell onto Gong Mingyue.
Ji Jiuying; ······
"Little Jiu'er, I've been waiting for you!" Gong Mingyue said with his eyes closed.
Ji Jiuying couldn't break free no matter what she did, so she simply lay on top of him and didn't move. "Grand Preceptor, you didn't come uninvited just to chat with me, did you?"
Upon seeing this, Gong Mingyue opened his deep black eyes, a nonchalant smile appearing on his face.
Seeing that he remained silent, Ji Jiuying raised her head slightly. Even at such close range, she could not find any flaws on his face. She couldn't help but marvel at how this man was favored by the Creator.
No wonder he always wears a mask; if that face were exposed, it would drive women all over the world crazy.
"What? Little Jiu'er, have you fallen for my good looks?" Gong Mingyue lowered his head to meet her somewhat dazed gaze.
Ji Jiuying quickly turned her head away. This damned monster!
"Gong Mingyue, just talk, don't get physical!" Ji Jiuying slapped Gong Mingyue's hand away.
"Miss, you're looking for..." Qingling stood at the door and saw this scene. She was so frightened that she staggered and almost lost her footing!
The next second, Gong Mingyue swept a cold glance over her, and Qingling felt as if her blood was about to freeze.
"Miss, since you... you have something to do, Qingling will come to find you later..." Qingling quickly closed the door and instantly disappeared from the courtyard, as if a ghost were chasing her.
Ji Jiuying; "..."
Qingling ran outside the main hall and drank several cups of tea before she could suppress the horror in her heart.
What did she see? She saw someone lying beneath her! Although she only saw their profile, the person seemed to be the Imperial Advisor she had met before!
Her young lady is too fierce; she actually pinned the Imperial Advisor down...
"You scared my Qingling!" Ji Jiuying glared at him.
"Who told you not to close the door just now?" Gong Mingyue reached out and flicked the tip of her nose.
It was all because he insisted on pretending to be asleep, causing her to forget to close the door.
"Ah Yue, what brings you here? Is it about the higher planes?" Ji Jiuying changed the subject and asked.
"Little Jiu'er is indeed very clever."
"Do you remember the person who went up against Yin Han? He is the third elder of the Feng family in the upper plane, and he was the one who led the way down to the Cangming Continent this time."
"He has already arrived in Cangyue Kingdom. Xiao Jiu'er, you must be careful these next few days. Once the Lantern Festival is over, you must immediately set off for Xingchen Academy," Gong Mingyue said sternly.
Upon hearing this, Ji Jiuying frowned slightly. So soon? She had just agreed to return to the Ji family with Ji Chenyuan.
"I need to go back to the Ji family tomorrow!"
"Alright, I will stay by your side for the next two days!" Gong Mingyue gently stroked the black hair on her back.
“Ah Yue, I’m not that dramatic. Even if I go up against him, I still have a trump card,” Ji Jiuying said.
His current body can no longer afford to recklessly use spiritual energy! She dared not imagine the consequences if the poison were to flare up again!
"I don't want to see Jiu'er get hurt!" Gong Mingyue said softly, holding Ji Jiuying tightly.
"Alright then, but you have to promise me that you won't use your spiritual power unless absolutely necessary!" Ji Jiuying said, unable to refuse, seeing his worried expression.
"Alright, it's getting late. Your Excellency, it's time to head back!"
Is this what people often say, that women can change their minds faster than turning the pages of a book?
"If there's trouble, it's A-Yue; if there's no trouble, it's Grand Preceptor. Tsk tsk~ What a heartless girl." Gong Mingyue pretended to be injured.
Ji Jiuying rolled her eyes, and Gong Mingyue's figure obediently disappeared without a trace.
Half a quarter of an hour.
Qingling cautiously approached Ji Jiuying's room and knocked on the door. "Miss, may Qingling come in?"
"Come in."
Qingling peeked in, looked around, and when she didn't see anyone, she pushed the door open and came in.
Ji Jiuying; ······
"Miss, what was that just now...?" Qingling asked softly.
Ji Jiuying didn't intend to hide it from her, and coughed a few times, "Qingling~ it's exactly what you want!"
Qingling covered her mouth in astonishment. Although it was as she had imagined, it still felt somewhat horrifying to hear it from her mistress.
"Miss... have you two secretly pledged your lives to each other?" Qingling leaned closer to Ji Jiuying and asked gossipily.
"I guess so~" Ji Jiuying answered without thinking.
She never imagined that a divine being like the Imperial Advisor would fall for her young mistress's charms.
"By the way, did you bind the communication butterfly with your blood?" Ji Jiuying asked.
"Miss, it has already been chosen as its master."
"Alright, Leng Shuang will go to the winery in your place tomorrow. You will come back to the Ji family with me tomorrow."
Qingling was stunned. What? Go back to the Ji family? "Miss, are you serious?"
"When have I ever lied to you, Miss?"
"What if they bully Miss again?" Qingling asked worriedly. She didn't want to go back to the Ji family for even a moment longer.
"Qingling, do you think your young lady is a pushover? Someone anyone can bully? If the Ji family wants to bully me, they'll have to see if they have the guts," Ji Jiuying said coldly.
Upon hearing this, Qingling also felt that it made sense. The young lady of today was no longer the one that everyone could bully. Besides, the young lady was now a princess, and even a general's official rank was not as high as the young lady's.
Early the next morning.
Ji Chenyuan personally came to the gate of the Princess's mansion to pick up Ji Jiuying. He waited at the gate for two whole hours. Ji Jiuying admired him for being so patient so that she could go back.
Ji Jiuying walked out slowly, and Ji Chenyuan felt relieved.
To be honest, he was quite afraid that she might change her mind if she got upset.
