"yes."
Xueyun and the others retreated one after another. Yingyue breathed a sigh of relief, then suddenly turned around, realizing something.
"Lord Shadow Moon?"
"How did you get here!"
Qingling asked with surprise. She had come over when she heard the noise and just saw Xueyun and the others leaving.
At the same time, she was also a little happy. She had wondered where he had been these past two days, as she hadn't seen him at all.
"I just happened to be passing by, don't overthink it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yingyue regretted it. He felt like he was trying to hide something, and he wanted to slap himself.
Qingling was also stunned for a moment. She hadn't thought much about it! Just as she was about to say something, a fluctuation of spiritual energy appeared in the air, and Ji Jiuying appeared in the courtyard. Qingling was overjoyed.
"Miss, you're back!"
"hostess!"
Ji Jiuying raised an eyebrow. This was the first time she had heard Yingzi call her that. In fact, Yingyue, Yin Han, and others called her that behind her back.
Sensing something, Yingyue cupped her hands in greeting to Ji Jiuying and then disappeared into the courtyard.
Qingling looked in the direction he disappeared, feeling that Yingyue was acting strangely today.
"Everyone's already gone, why are you still looking!"
Ji Jiuying couldn't help but make a teasing remark.
Qingling's face instantly turned bright red. "Miss, what are you saying? You're just teasing me."
Seeing her lovestruck expression, Ji Jiuying didn't expose her. "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. I'm going back to take a shower. I'm exhausted these past few days."
"Miss, you've gone off to gain experience?"
Ji Jiuying was somewhat surprised, "How did you know?"
“I can sense a change in your aura; Miss must have become stronger again.”
Ji Jiuying paused and stopped, took out the Purifying Heart Bead and placed it in Qingling's hand, "Qingling, this bead is for you. Remember to wear it on your body and never let it leave your side."
Seeing Ji Jiuying's serious expression, Qingling nodded. Even if her mistress didn't say anything, she would keep anything given to her with her at all times.
"Miss, what is this?"
"It's a mind-purifying bead, something that can calm your mind. I don't need this, but it's perfect for you."
Ji Jiuying didn't explain much.
As they spoke, they returned to her courtyard. The courtyard was clean and tidy, and it was clear that the person who cleaned it had put a lot of effort into it. Shuanghua, who was pruning flowers and plants in the courtyard, saw a familiar figure. Her eyes flashed with joy, and she quickly put down the scissors in her hand and stepped forward to curtsy.
"Princess, you're back."
The two people inside the house heard the noise and their faces lit up with joy. They hurriedly came out to greet her, "Princess!"
"Shuanghua, Qiuyue, Yaya, thank you for your hard work while I was away."
Upon hearing this, the servants quickly shook their heads, saying, "It's no trouble at all. It's our honor to be able to relieve the princess's worries."
At this moment, Ji Jiuying was surprised to find that the others had already become Spirit Masters, and Ya Ya was even close to becoming a Great Spirit Master. "Who has been teaching you cultivation during this time?"
"It's Brother Feilong. Sister Lengshuang and the others sometimes come to give us pointers."
Ya Ya said happily, "We originally thought that being able to work in the Princess's mansion was already a great thing. Who would have thought that not only was the Princess herself kind, but the people around her were also so kind, and they even taught them cultivation. We must have been very lucky in our past lives."
Ji Jiuying was somewhat surprised; this was for the best.
While they were feeling fortunate, Ji Jiuying was also fortunate. Her maids got along well with her, without any backstabbing or infighting, and they shared her worries and troubles.
"By the way, where is Grandma Zhang?" Ji Jiuying looked around in confusion and asked.
"Princess, Grandma Zhang can't sit still for a moment. She went to help out at Sanqianzui half a month ago," Qiuyue said with a smile.
“Miss, I went to see her the day I came back. She was busy at the shop, and the nanny said she would only go back to the Princess’s mansion after you returned,” Qingling said.
Ji Jiuying's lips curled up slightly as she recalled how Zhang Mama had accompanied the original owner through so much hardship in the Ji family for over a decade without ever complaining, showing no disdain, or abandoning her. Instead, she treated her like her own child.
Even though she wasn't the original owner, she inherited everything from her. She could imagine how the original owner felt when she experienced the bad things...
Since moving out of the Ji family, she stopped making Zhang Mama do those rough chores. She wanted to make things easier for her, but Zhang Mama seemed to have gotten used to that kind of life. She felt uncomfortable if she didn't do something.
Ji Jiuying shook her head helplessly, and could only let her have her way.
She didn't say anything, only instructing Ya Ya and the others to draw water. All she wanted to do was take a bath and have a nice nap.
Qiu Yue and the others quickly prepared the water. Ji Jiuying closed her eyes and quietly leaned against the wooden tub, enjoying the warm flower bath. The flowers emitted an intoxicating fragrance, blurring the entire bathhouse, and Ji Jiuying felt as if she were in a sea of flowers.
Shuanghua quietly massaged Ji Jiuying's shoulders from the edge. Ji Jiuying didn't speak, and neither did Shuanghua.
a long time.
"Shuanghua, how is your mother recovering?"
Ji Jiuying, with her eyes tightly closed, suddenly asked a question.
"Your Highness, Mother is much better now, and her speech is much clearer."
Thinking of this, Shuanghua looked at Ji Jiuying in front of her with gratitude.
"That's good. You must brew and drink the medicine I gave you before every day."
"yes."
"Alright, you can leave now!"
Shuanghua respectfully responded and silently got up and left.
Ji Jiuying opened her eyes, recalling what had happened during this period.
The news of her return to Kyoto must have already spread throughout the city.
She wasn't afraid of the Feng family coming to capture her; she was only afraid that the Feng family would harm the people around her in order to capture her.
She didn't want to involve innocent people in her feud with the Feng family, so after much deliberation, Ji Jiuying decided to leave Cangyue in the next couple of days.
The Imperial Preceptor's Residence.
"The spiritual energy in this Cangming Continent is scarce and turbid. I really can't understand how that evil god can stay here."
The woman waved her hand dismissively.
Si Yu lay leisurely on the soft couch, looking at the woman who was both disgusted and insisted on coming with him, and said, "I told you a long time ago, what can I do if you insist on coming with me?"
"Si Yu, you did this on purpose! You just don't want to repay me with your body for the ancient Xuanbing coffin from Yaochi!"
Si Yu choked on her words.
"Xiao Bai, every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt its debtor. That ancient ice coffin was destroyed by Gong Mingyue, and it has nothing to do with me."
The woman snorted coldly, "My Yaochi only recognizes those who lend their services. The ancient ice coffin was lent to you, and it exploded afterward, so it's your responsibility."
"I think she's right!"
Suddenly, a deep, cold, and authoritative voice rang out, like ice in the dead of winter, emanating a chilling aura.
Bai Lisha trembled slightly and quickly moved away. There was nothing she could do; this fiend was indifferent to women, and anyone who got too close would be mercilessly kicked away.
