The master said that this was the right thing to do, and if he refused again, it would seem that they were being pretentious, so Fengyun Shu agreed and led a group of disciples towards the hall.
In the hall, while drinking wine, the old man took Mr. Chen to brag about his glorious deeds, and his eyes were full of excitement.
Several people took their seats one after another. They all behaved honestly and in a satisfactory manner. Yu Jiuxu nodded with satisfaction.
Very good, worthy of being a disciple taught by Su Luochen.
While thinking, Ruan Qing turned to look outside the hall. A group of maids passed by in a panic, carrying large and small basins, exchanging a few words from time to time in a hurry.
Is there something unusual about Mrs. Chen?
Yu Jiuxu raised her eyes and glanced at everyone in the hall. No one paid attention to her. She would not be discovered if she slipped out now.
She stood up carefully and tiptoed out of the hall. In the corridor, she saw two maids leaving in a hurry holding quilts. Yu Jiuxu thought about it and followed them.
Yu Jiuxu followed the two maids to a courtyard. The maids were coming in and out, looking very busy.
She moved closer to get a better view, but as soon as she stepped into the courtyard, she was stopped by the maid on the side: "Young Master, this is Madam's courtyard, you can't go in."
Yu Jiuxu raised his brows, turned his eyes slightly, and said, "My master said, let me come and take a look. The evil spirits have just been eliminated, but I am afraid that my wife will feel unwell."
"Your master?" The little maid looked confused and suspicious.
Yu Jiuxu nodded and said seriously: "Yes, he is the one who helps your wife catch the kid."
The little maid looked at her, obviously not accepting this trick, and just said doubtfully: "No, you are from the Immortal Sect. Isn't your master the Heavenly Lord of Lingyue Mountain?"
"..." Yu Jiuxu's eyebrows jumped slightly. This little girl knew quite a lot. She was silent and said: "I changed jobs. I just jumped. If you don't believe me, ask my master. He is accompanying you in the hall. Let’s have a drink and chat.”
The little maid looked at her with a doubtful look. At this moment, a woman's shout came from the house. The little maid was startled, and turned her head and entered the house without paying attention to Yu Jiuxu.
Yu Jiuxu looked around. No matter what, no one was stopping her anyway. Let's go in first.
As soon as she entered the house, she almost collided with a maid carrying a basin, but she had to dodge.
When Yu Jiuxu came to the inner room, what caught her eye was the pregnant woman with a big belly just now. At this time, she was leaning on the bed with a pale face. Her whole body seemed to have been sucked dry. Her eyes were silent and her whole body was still wet. From time to time, he twitched slightly.
The maid on the side kept wiping her face with warm water, but it was of no use. The clothes and quilt she had just changed became soaked with sweat in a short time.
After a while, she seemed to be tired, her eyes slowly closed, and she leaned motionless. With such a bad look on her face, she knew she was asleep, but she thought she had died.
Yu Jiuxu stood aside, and the maid who just saw the woman had fallen asleep seemed to be relieved. They cleaned up, took their things lightly and left, leaving Yu Jiuxu alone in the room.
Perhaps he was worried that she was from the Immortal Sect, so he didn't chase her away, but that was fine. Yu Jiuxu raised his eyebrows, walked to the bed, reached out to lift the quilt covering her body, and looked at her carefully. woman.
After being tortured like this, she didn't know if the child in her belly was still alive. She looked really pitiful.
Looking around, he seemed to find nothing unusual, until Yu Jiuxu gently opened her sleeve, intending to take a pulse or something, but found a thin mark on her wrist.
This thickness is probably the same as the needle and thread used to mend clothes. The red traces circle around the wrist.
Yu Jiuxu's eyes narrowed slightly, as if she had realized something. She stood up and grabbed her other hand. Sure enough, there were exactly the same marks. When she lifted her chin, there were also the same marks under her neck.
While thinking, she slowly raised her hand and touched the marks on the woman's wrist. She suddenly felt something. The fingers touching the marks gradually hung in the air. The existence of lines could be felt on her fingertips, but they were invisible to the naked eye.
She followed the invisible line all the way up. Suddenly, the person on the bed suddenly opened her eyes and struck Yu Jiuxu with a palm. She reacted quickly, raised her hand to block it, and jumped away immediately.
When Yu Jiuxu stood firm and looked at the person on the bed, she had returned to her sleeping state, as if she had never moved.
A puppet on a string?
Yu Jiuxu squinted his eyes and stood there and looked at the woman on the bed. It was interesting. It seemed that these little boys were not very lucky. They were a master in the first order.
Just as she was thinking about it, the door of the room was pushed open suddenly, and Yu Jiuxu was stunned. She turned around and saw Ye Qingyao glaring at her angrily.
It's over.
Yu Jiuxu grinned at her: "Senior sister, what a coincidence..."
Ye Qingyao looked helpless, holding her collar and walking out the door. Yu Jiuxu was about to cry but had no tears: "Senior sister, I was wrong. I will never run around again."
Ye Qingyao dragged her back to the hall and asked her to sit down properly. They looked at each other and could only shrug helplessly, as if they were getting used to it.
It's really troublesome. What if she had to work so hard to dress up before? She started immediately. Based on the price that Mr. Chen paid to the old man just now, one order was enough for her to eat for a whole year.
When the market is good, if she waits for a longer time, maybe she will make more money if she becomes famous. Then will she need to listen to these little brats for everything?
Yu Jiuxu held her chin and thought, and glanced at the hall. The old Taoist was sitting opposite, his face was rosy from drinking, and he hadn't even had time to take off his Taoist robe.
Immediately, her eyes wandered and fell on the bag of gossip hanging on the waist of the old Taoist. It should be the kid just now.
The kit was hanging on his waist, and Yu Jiuxu licked her lips. As the saying goes, big ghosts eat little ghosts. In the past, she could eat ten of these little things at a time.
But it definitely won't work now. With this immortal physique, it is estimated that it is destined to eat but not digested. However, this is not necessarily true. I have never tried it. How do I know that it cannot be digested?
Thinking about it, a smile inadvertently appeared on her lips. Luo Mingxiu, who was sitting next to her, patted her: "Why are you smiling?"
The smile on Yu Jiuxu's face faltered, and she glanced at him impatiently: "You mind me, just eat your food. Eat more of what you like. I don't know if I can make it through tonight."
The string puppet was not a good thing at first glance. According to experience and the scent she smelled, it was definitely not evil, but a demonic cultivator, an orthodox demonic cultivator.
She couldn't easily judge her cultivation level. After all, the other party hadn't shown up and had never fought before. Her spiritual veins were sealed and she couldn't feel the fluctuations in her spiritual power.
But generally speaking, if you can use the string to control a conscious person, then your cultivation level must not be weak, at least it is above Fengyun Shu.
To put it bluntly, they can only ask themselves to be lucky, unless a miracle happens.
Luo Mingxiu looked at her, with a hint of uneasiness in his doubtful eyes: "What did you say?"
Yu Jiuxu didn't explain much. Now that she has explained, they may not listen, and they may not really regard her as a madman. She only smiled perfunctorily: "It's nothing, you will know tonight."
After dinner, in order to stay, Yu Jiuxu pretended to have a stomachache and a headache. She even fainted on the spot, which frightened Chen Yuanwai so much that he had to come to check her pulse in person.
Fortunately, Fengyun Shu also wanted to stay. Although he didn't know about the string puppet, he also knew that the matter was probably unresolved due to the veteran's inaction today.
But if this kind of thing was told clearly, Chen Yuanwai would definitely not believe it. He didn't know it. He only knew that the old man had taken in the kid, and everyone saw it.
