The sky was dimming, and Ji Changyue was woken up by a stench.
Why did you sleep on the floor?
Ji Changyue blinked in confusion and prepared to stand up, but was disgusted by the foul smell on his body.
Her whole body was covered with dirty black marks and exuded an unpleasant smell, as if she had been pulled out of the mud.
Unable to stand being so embarrassed, Ji Changyue got up and boiled water to wash herself. There was a "clang" and a black object fell from her body.
Ji Changyue was surprised when he picked up the things on the ground and wiped them clean.
She clearly remembered giving the jade pendant to Chang'an yesterday, so why did it appear here with her?
By the way, last night!
Ji Changyue remembered what happened last night.
She almost died yesterday, but a warm force saved her.
Those green fluorescent lights... Ji Changyue had a guess in her mind. She had read the contents in the book. Although she knew little about the world of cultivation, she still understood some basic things.
After closing his eyes and feeling for a moment, Ji Changyue opened his eyes, with joy in his eyes.
She has reached a new level of Qi training!
But isn’t she unable to practice? Ji Changyue lowered her head to look at the jade pendant in her hand. Could it be the effect of the jade pendant?
In the book, she never used the jade pendant, so she never succeeded in practicing.
With this idea, Ji Changyue wanted to verify his guess.
The crisp rooster crow sounded, and the sky turned white.
After looking at the sky, Ji Changyue gave up on practice and quickly washed up. After washing the jade pendant and placing it on Ji Changan's bedside, he went out and walked towards the city lord's mansion.
The morning market in Wangxian City is very lively. The small vendors set out the breakfast food for sale early and shout enthusiastically.
Ji Changyue walked on the road calmly, but her clenched hands revealed her mood.
If you can practice, who would want to be an ordinary person without the power to restrain a chicken, being slaughtered by others but unable to resist.
Only when her destiny is in her own hands can she feel at ease. With power, she doesn't have to hide in hiding, fearing that she will follow the same path as in the book again.
After all, being able to practice is already different from the book.
Ji Changyue walked and thought, and arrived near the city lord's mansion in a blink of an eye.
A group of people gathered around the city lord's mansion, seemingly arguing about something.
Ji Changyue saw Butler Li's livid face, hurriedly gave some instructions to the soldiers, and then hurriedly walked to the city lord's mansion.
"Please City Lord, save my son!"
When he got closer, he saw that it was Cui Laosan who was driven away by Butler Li yesterday. He was not as arrogant as he was when he saw Ji Changyue yesterday. He was sitting on the ground in disheveled clothes, kowtowing constantly.
A circle of people watching the excitement learned from their conversations that Cui Laosan's son seemed to be possessed by a ghost last night, became crazy and manic, and stabbed people at home with a knife. Now he was lying half dead on the bed. Cui Laosan wanted to ask the city lord to send a message to the immortal to save his son.
Damn it, Ji Changyue thought of Song Nuan and looked up to see Yun Yan looking at her with a dull expression.
"Good morning." Ji Changyue greeted.
Yun Yan nodded, "It's getting late, it's time to go to the accounting office."
Ji Changyue didn't really want to see Cui Laosan's excitement. She glanced at Cui Laosan and saw that he didn't look fake. He was really heartbroken and felt a little strange.
Why did something happen to Cui Laosan's family as soon as she got to know Song Nuan?
Moreover, Cui Laosan was kicked out of the city lord's palace yesterday. Although it was initially due to a dispute with her, the main reason later was because of the account book that Yun Yan produced.
"If you have any doubts, you can ask me directly." Yun Yan said.
Ji Changyue looked at him, his expression was calm and he didn't dodge in any way.
"I have nothing to ask." Ji Changyue shook her head quickly. The more she knew, the sooner she would die. It was better for her to know less.
As if he didn't hear Ji Changyue's words, Yun Yan said, "I know you want to ask Cui Laosan's son whether it was me who was possessed by a ghost, and whether I deliberately targeted Cui Laosan yesterday."
There was clear malice in the young man's eyes, "I deliberately made him lose his identity as the accountant of the City Lord's Mansion, and made his son crazy and stupid! I even wanted him to be ruined and his family ruined!"
Shocked by the cruelty in his eyes, Ji Changyue didn't understand, "Why did you tell me?" Are you trying to fuck me? We have no grievances. We just met for the first time yesterday, so I didn’t offend you, right?
I was just confused and didn't want to know.
"Why didn't you ask me why?" Yun Yan was very dissatisfied with Ji Changyue's reaction.
"Ha...ha..." Ji Changyue smiled awkwardly, "Maybe it's because I'm not that curious."
I can guess it just by looking at you, okay?
Although Ji Changyue didn't want to know, Yun Yan continued, "Cui Laosan's son relied on Cui Laosan's power to kill An Nuan's family. I avenged An Nuan and killed Cui Laosan. Isn't it just and right? ?”
"Yes." Ji Changyue said, "But what's the use of telling me?"
They had just met, and at most they knew that Song Nuan turned into a ghost after his death, etc... Ji Changyue went around in a circle and suddenly understood that she had fallen into his plan yesterday.
Let her see Song Nuan and know that the evil things Cui Laosan's family did were all under his arrangement.
"What on earth do you want to do?" Ji Changyue thought that there was no value in using her. It was really puzzling that he deliberately tried to get her involved in this matter.
"I need your help." Yun Yan lowered his tone and begged.
Seeing that Ji Changyue was silent, he said in an urgent voice, "I don't want you to do anything harmful to the world. I just ask that when the city lord comes to find you, you don't get involved in this matter."
Ji Changyue listened to him tell old stories.
Yun Yan and Song Nuan had been childhood sweethearts since they were young, and they got married at the same time. They originally planned to wait for Song Nuan to have a hairpin, and then the two families would become friends in the Qin and Jin Dynasties.
Unexpectedly, when Yun Yan was studying abroad, Cui Jin, the son of Cui Laosan, saw Song Nuan's beauty and became evil. He blackmailed Song Nuan's parents and forced her to become his concubine. When the Song parents refused, he poisoned them to death. ;
After the death of the Song parents, they forged that Song Nuan left Wangxian City because of sadness and imprisoned Song Nuan. Because Song Nuan resisted violently, they gouged out her eyes and tongue, threw her into a mass grave, and starved to death.
Ji Changyue didn't know how to feel and asked, "Why don't you ask the city lord to make the decision? The city lord is fair and will definitely make the decision for the Song family."
Yun Yan snorted coldly, "How can the city lord make the decision? Kill Cui Jin? My uncle and aunt were tortured, and A Nuan was humiliated. These unreasonable disasters are all the result of the Cui family's connivance. No matter how fair the city lord is, he will only sentence Cui Jin to death. The rest of the Cui family can still live comfortably with the money they spent in the city lord's mansion."
"Since we want revenge, we must let them all taste the suffering that An Nuan once suffered!" His eyes were red, and the hatred in his eyes seemed to have solidified.
Seeing that Yun Yan had lost his mind, Ji Changyue sighed inwardly. If the Cui family hadn't caused Song Nuan's accident, Yun Yan would still be the young man who was praised by everyone and had a bright future. How could he become the crazy person he is today.
She wanted to persuade him a few words, but she didn't know how to speak.
When everyone in Jijia Village died tragically, she had the same thought and wished she could skin the resentful demon and extract its bones. What position does she have now to make Yun Yan put aside his hatred.
"Miss Changyue." Across the long corridor in the distance, a man dressed as a servant called loudly: "The city lord invites you to go to the front hall."
Ji Changyue looked at Yun Yan, who was still immersed in grief, and said loudly, "Okay, I'll be there right away."
