For some reason, Yu Jiuxu always had a strange feeling. Ever since the morning class a few days ago, when the two officially met for the first time, she seemed to have been approaching her intentionally or unintentionally.
At first, Yu Jiuxu just thought that he was overthinking, but when he was in Chenjiazhuang, outside Mrs. Chen's yard, those words didn't sound like groundless rumors, but more like a test.
As for why, Yu Jiuxu couldn't say clearly, but he always felt that she seemed to know something.
While thinking, Yu Jiuxu narrowed her eyes. It seemed that she still had to be more vigilant. Although in this peaceful and prosperous age, no one would think of her, but what if?
Yu Jiuxu smiled at her, pretending not to know anything, and said, "What a coincidence. Master went out just now. How about you come in and wait?"
Mu Wenlan looked at her with a smile in her eyes, jumped off the wall, landed in the yard, looked around, and said, "Are you alone?"
Yu Jiuxu was silent and said, "No, Luo Mingxiu is here too, but in his own yard."
With that said, she turned around and walked into the hall, with Mu Wenlan following behind her and Yu Jiuxu pouring water for her. However, she looked around, breathed a sigh of relief, and said softly: "The conditions here are really simple, there is no It’s good when you’re at home.”
Yu Jiuxu was silent and didn't say anything. Of course it wasn't as nice as your official father's house. There was nothing here. At best it was called quiet, at worst it was a shabby house.
But as she spoke, her eyes were glancing at Yu Jiuxu. Yu Jiuxu just pretended that he couldn't see her and didn't want to get entangled with her.
After pouring the tea, Yu Jiuxu turned around and left. He just smiled and said to her, "Master will be back in a moment. I'll be outside. If you need anything, call me anytime."
After saying that, she went out, completely ignoring Mu Wenlan's probing and somewhat urgent look.
After returning to the room, Yu Jiuxu still couldn't figure out Mu Wenlan's intentions. Logically speaking, the two of them were incompatible, whether it was due to birth, life experience or other reasons.
There is no reason to target her...
Yu Jiuxu was puzzled, but one thing she was sure of was that this guy must have come to find her, because after she left the hall, Mu Wenlan just sat in the hall for a while and then left.
When she left, Su Luochen hadn't come back yet. Even if a few old immortals discussed the matter of string puppets, they couldn't come back so soon.
After thinking about it, Yu Jiuxu felt that there was only one reason, and that was: this young apprentice was thinking about Su Luochen.
As the saying goes, there is no way to repay the kindness of saving a life, only to promise it with one's own body.
Didn't Su Luochen save her before, so she, a young lady from an official family, came to practice Taoism without enjoying the blessings?
So, according to this statement, she probably misunderstood something. She thought that Yu Jiuxu had the same idea about Su Luochen, so she targeted her?
Tsk tsk tsk, just thinking about it, Yu Jiuxu couldn't help but sigh in her heart: This paralyzed face is so beautiful.
However, speaking of it, Mu Wenlan is quite good-looking, with an oval face and willow-leaf eyebrows. She is a typical beauty. It is not a waste to match Su Luochen, but I don't know what Su Luochen thinks.
Yu Jiuxu was lying on the bed, and she suddenly thought of Su Luochen's blushing look when he saw her for the first time, and she wanted to laugh. However, judging from his current behavior, this kind of thing would probably not happen.
If Su Luochen now encountered the same scene at the lake again, he would probably draw his sword without hesitation, not to mention blushing, without even blinking.
In the words he originally taught his disciples: "The devil is the devil. What are the seven emotions and six desires?"
Thinking of this, Yu Jiuxu, who was still immersed in the blush of his youth, was suddenly brought back to reality. Somehow, a trace of anger flashed in his heart, and the smile on his face also faded, until it disappeared... …
At night, there was moonlight shining in outside the window, and the house was very quiet. Yu Jiuxu lay on the bed, sighed softly, called Su Luochen a bastard in his heart, turned over, and got ready to sleep.
It doesn't matter what Xiao Nizi wants to do, as long as she doesn't expose herself, she will leave here sooner or later. By then, it's unclear whether she will be an enemy or a friend.
late at night.
Yu Jiuxu was awakened by a rustling sound. It must have been something happening outside the Taoist temple. There was a vague figure shaking outside the door.
She sat up from the bed and stared deeply. She didn't know why, but it seemed that she was not at peace since she entered this shell.
Yu Jiuxu lifted up the quilt and got out of bed, opened the door, and there was a fire outside. It was the disciples of the Immortal Sect holding torches patrolling the mountain, probably looking for something.
Although there are usually disciples patrolling, they are far less powerful than today. As expected, almost all the disciples should be dispatched.
Fengyun Shu stood in the yard, looking like he had been standing for a long time. When he saw Yu Jiuxu coming out, he turned around and asked, "Are you okay?"
Yu Jiuxu was stunned. She should be the one who asked this question. While thinking, she asked Fengyun Shu: "What happened? Senior brother."
Fengyun Shu frowned and said: "Some foreign monks broke into the mountain gate, so Master asked me to come and see you."
"Oh." Yu Jiuxu didn't say anything more, but he felt a little strange in his heart.
Foreign monk? Are the charlatans coming to the Immortal Sect to steal magic weapons?
But it shouldn’t be. There are many experts in the Immortal Sect, and ordinary monks would not dare to set foot there easily. Those with high cultivation levels would not have such dirty thoughts.
While the two were chatting, a burst of fire suddenly burst out in the direction of the observation peak. From that direction, it should be the sword room.
There are surprises every year, especially this year.
"I'm going to help." Feng Yunzhu frowned, but he seemed a little unsure of where Yu Jiuxu was. He stopped after taking a few steps and looked back at her.
The two looked at each other, and he was silent for a moment before saying, "Wear the peach jade that Master gave you, and never leave it."
Yu Jiuxu smiled at him and responded obediently: "Okay~"
After watching him leave the yard, Yu Jiuxu put away his smile and stood in the yard, looking at the fire.
Somehow, although she didn't feel anything, she had a hunch that the person who came this time might be related to the string puppet player.
Thinking about it this way, if it was a demon cultivator going to the sword room, it was most likely not for the spirit sword, but for the red soul.
Alas, there are so many famous people and wrongdoings. I think she has been dead for more than 20 years. She is not a good person. She only has a sword. She snatches her here and there, making it difficult for others to live in peace.
While she was thinking, she had already walked out of the courtyard. At this time, all the disciples on the mountain and at the bottom should have gone to the Observation Peak. It was estimated that no one paid attention to her.
It doesn't take long to get up from the trail, but the place is a little out of the way, which is good, so as not to encounter someone who you can't explain clearly.
She just went to take a look, but there was no evil spirit or snake god doing some disgusting things in her name. If she really did it, she would just bear the scolding. The key point is that if someone was framed, it would be too unjust. .
As Yu Jiuxu expected, there was no one along the way. It was not dark and the road could be seen clearly by the moonlight.
As she was walking, she suddenly stopped and seemed to feel something. But she turned back suddenly and looked around, but there was nothing.
Yu Jiuxu felt a chill in his heart: Damn, I have done so many bad things, and I don’t feel at ease even when walking at night.
She originally thought it was her imagination, but before she had gone far, she unexpectedly heard a strange noise coming from the woods nearby. Although it was very slight, she was sure that someone was following her.
After a brief hesitation, Yu Jiuxu turned around and walked into the woods. The woods were darker than on the trail, but it did not affect his vision.
Suddenly, she stopped in a place covered with fallen leaves, and carefully used her feet to lift the leaves on the surface. She could vaguely see the intertwined ropes, which should be a trap set by the disciples of the Immortal Sect.
