Chapter 111: This Time It's Master Jian
Bai Rulong is in good health, probably able to withstand one sword strike.
Ban Yangshu's Realm is profound, probably able to withstand about two sword strikes...
Ji You quietly calculated as he walked into the room, then, playing the role of a Master, he used Spiritual Qi to control a flint, igniting a spark to light the oil lamp in the room.
Why not Cultivate the Dao of Fire, but instead use such a troublesome method?
Oh, a mere Tianshu Academy Disciple is only at the Profound Integration Realm, not yet at Integration Dao.
Yan Shuyi watched him silently, then saw him step forward and extend a paw towards her.
Does he dare to pinch my face again? She waited quietly, without a change in expression, then saw that hand suddenly drop, casually taking the teapot in front of her, and calling a waiter at the door to replace it with a new pot of tea.
"Damn Tianshu Academy Disciple—"
Hearing the little Master Jian murmur, Ji You was unsure of her mood.
In fact, Yan Shuyi was also unsure of her own mood. Her beautiful face carried a hint of coolness, but her pink, moist toes hidden under the tea table couldn't help but wiggle.
She hadn't seen him for a long time, and she really, really wanted to see him.
But in her original plan, she should have summoned the Tianshu Academy Disciple to Xuanjian Peak as Master Jian, and then made him kneel at her feet to lecture him proudly.
However, her uncle's tea party disrupted this plan, dragging on for a day.
She was annoyed for half a day, and under Zhuo Wanqiu's instigation, she got carried away, so she trotted down the mountain and came to see him voluntarily.
But after actually meeting him, she felt her identity was awkward and didn't know how to speak.
Was she a stranger whom he had only met twice but couldn't help but feel close to because she was so beautiful, or the majestic Lingjian Mountain Master Jian?
If she were just a stranger whom he had only met twice but couldn't help but feel close to because she was so beautiful, then she would naturally speak more delicately.
But now, at the foot of Lingjian Mountain, the person she faced was a man who came to challenge her sect's prestige. As Master Jian, she couldn't be too kind to him.
But if she were to act as the majestic Lingjian Mountain Master Jian, she had voluntarily come to his room, which felt a bit pretentious.
Yan Shuyi thought distractedly, then suddenly saw a hand offer her a peeled pumpkin seed, so she instinctively opened her pink, moist little mouth and ate it.
People in Liang Province love to eat roasted pumpkin seeds, and they are sold everywhere in the city.
Delicious.
After chewing for a while, the little Master Jian suddenly furrowed her brows slightly and narrowed her eyes again: "Tianshu Academy students are indeed bolder than imagined. Don't they know this is the foot of my Lingjian Mountain? How dare they be so presumptuous?"
Ji You understood the character she was playing today and immediately cupped his hands: "I am Ji You, greetings to the Lingjian Mountain Master Jian.
"Why don't you kneel when you see this Master Jian?"
"If I kneel now, what about the Imperial Throne later—"
Yan Shuyi suddenly stared at him for a while, using the candlelight, and found that he seemed much more handsome, so a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes.
This stranger, whom she met for the third time, already had a scholarly Aura and was as graceful as a jade tree in the wind. Now, after a few days of not seeing him, his physique seemed even stronger, and even his skin was much fairer and smoother.
The tea table provided by the inn was very small, only half a foot wide.
Sitting opposite each other, with their bodies leaning forward, they were actually very close.
Yan Shuyi still maintained the majestic expression of "Lingjian Mountain Master Jian" at this time. Her fair foot, extended under the table, was suddenly caught. Her delicate nose couldn't help but wrinkle slightly, but she didn't hit him.
This was not because Ji You was so audacious as to directly offend the Empress.
Mainly, this girl's face was cold, and her tone was sharp, but her feet kept wiggling below.
The joy of meeting again seemed to be transmitted entirely through her jade feet, making Ji You somewhat distracted, so he directly held her foot in his hand.
Her round, smooth toes were like finely carved jade, cool and soft. They were originally extremely restless, but now they became obedient in his palm.
"Although there is a saying of Asked the Dao in Qingyun World, no one has dared to do so for thousands of years. You come to my mountain gate so brazenly, are you really not afraid of not being able to leave the mountain?"
Yan Shuyi didn't kick him, as if tacitly allowing the bold Tianshu Academy Disciple to touch Master Jian's foot.
Ji You sat up straight: "I had to come."
"Tianshu Academy is indeed strong. It turns out that even the Disciples of the sect are so helpless."
"Actually, the Academy didn't force me to come. It was my own heart that held some thoughts about Lingjian Mountain, so I wanted to see it with my own eyes."
Yan Shuyi paused for a long time, then, feeling the tenderness of his palm, suddenly pursed her lips, and then pretended to be calm: "You should have heard that Tianjian Peak is holding a tea party, inviting Disciples from Asked the Dao Sect and Mountain and Sea Pavilion. Asked the Dao Sect has long wanted to kill you, are you really not afraid of death?"
Ji You rubbed the cool sole of her foot in his hand for a long time: "Tianjian Peak did it? No wonder. I knew that the upright and kind Xuanjian Peak wouldn't come up with such a sinister trick."
"Little Tianshu Academy Disciple, your words are quite pleasant to hear."
"Before the Lingjian Mountain Master Jian, I dare not conceal anything. These words are all from the bottom of my heart."
Yan Shuyi couldn't help but kick him twice in his palm: "This Master Jian came down the mountain today originally to kill one or two Tianshu Academy Disciples, to let you know what the sword of Lingjian Mountain is. You keep saying such nice things, how can I strike?"
Ji You looked up at him: "You Buyu is on the first floor. I know he lives in room A-1. Do you want to go?"
"Are you a traitor of Tianshu Academy?"
"Not really, just some personal grudges. He's been looking at me with extreme displeasure all the way, always cursing me a few times. It's so annoying."
When Yan Shuyi heard him mention You Buyu, she suddenly remembered something: "You went to Dan Sect midway and even stayed overnight there. Did you enjoy yourselves so much that you forgot to return?"
Ji You knew she would definitely ask this, and calmly replied: "Reporting to Master Jian, Tianshu Academy and Dan Sect are on good terms, so the Tianshu Academy Disciples visited them when they passed through Liang Province."
"Dan Sect is recently looking for a son-in-law for Caiwei Jie. I heard that someone named Ji You is very much to Caiwei Jie's liking?"
"That scoundrel Ji You is exceptionally handsome. Countless women adore him, but it can't be considered his fault."
Yan Shuyi snorted coldly: "Tianshu Academy truly consists of lechers. It's probably not false that they have fiancées everywhere. Even if this Master Jian takes action to kill one or two, it won't incur any wrongful karma."
This statement was not without purpose. Ji You was already feeling guilty and, after much thought, didn't know how to answer, so he reached out and pinched a pumpkin seed to feed her.
To test how much jealousy there was.
The little Master Jian glanced at him, then, after a long silence, spoke: "I want that hand's—"
"You even dislike your own foot?"
"Bold Tianshu Academy Disciple—."
Ji You switched hands and fed her a pumpkin seed, watching her chew gently. The Empress's Aura began to soften and couldn't be maintained.
This was normal, after all, what proper Master Jian would wander into a Tianshu Academy man's room in the middle of the night? Her "show of force" simply couldn't stand, so she gave herself away with one feeding.
Thus, on this gentle, water-like moonlit night, everything seemed to return to that small room in Tianshu Academy in winter.
Yan Shuyi leaned on the table, gently eating pumpkin seeds, her beautiful hair scattered before her.
As the night deepened, the moonlight outside the window became softer and brighter, illuminating her delicate, pretty face, making it appear flawless, her skin like snow.
She quietly looked at her Cloud Top Heavenly Palace and felt herself becoming strange again.
Every time they met, she would deliberately raise her head and chest to look down on him, but looking back, she realized that she seemed to be coaxed by him every time.
It was a mistake to have gone to Tianshu Academy to see him out of boredom then.
It was because her temper was too good that time, which led to her being able to look down on the whole world, but she couldn't be arrogant in front of him alone.
It's truly troubling—
Women are like that; once they take the initiative, they become passive.
Ji You watched her leaning on the table, her slender waist slightly bent, and quietly narrowed his eyes.
Did I manage to get away with it?
This girl didn't ask in detail about what happened on Dan Mountain. I've escaped a calamity. I should have known not to be so cautious—
And a woman wandering the streets without clothes? What a pity.
However, when his thoughts returned to the present, he felt that this scene was truly somewhat miraculous.
Tianshu Academy came aggressively to Ask the Dao of Lingjian Mountain, then was given the cold shoulder. Everyone's hearts were tense now.
But the little Master Jian of Lingjian Mountain was currently lying in front of him, gently chewing pumpkin seeds, her jade feet still in the Tianshu Academy Disciple's hand, as obedient as a cat dozing off.
If anyone else saw this, they would probably feel like they were dreaming.
Ji You sat beside her, brewing tea and peeling pumpkin seeds, watching the distant night grow darker and darker,
Until the moon was bright and the stars were sparse.
Unable to think of any more majestic questions, Yan Shuyi looked at the deepening night.
"I'm going back."
"The little Tianshu Academy Disciple is quite polite. Although your Asked the Dao of Lingjian Mountain is quite disrespectful, considering that the command of the sect cannot be defied, and you are helpless, I will spare your life."
"When we meet on the mountain tomorrow, you won't be so lucky. I hope you conduct yourselves well."
Yan Shuyi suddenly straightened up and yawned, withdrew her warmed jade feet, stood up, and put on her shoes, stepping twice.
Ji You was pouring water from the teapot, knowing that the runaway girl was about to return to her senses, and couldn't help but say: "You just arrived, won't you sit a little longer?"
"Why do you need to worry about this Master Jian's affairs? Take care of your own life."
Yan Shuyi said, and before leaving, she picked up the teacup and drank two sips, and also grabbed three pumpkin seeds that Ji You had peeled.
Her parents knew she had come out, so she couldn't possibly discuss the Dao with a Tianshu Academy Disciple at the foot of the mountain all night. He would have to go up the mountain tomorrow anyway, and her visit tonight was merely to get a glimpse beforehand.
Ji You originally wanted to see her to the door, but then she turned back and stepped on his foot again.
He should have told her that Yuan Caiwei had already seen what was originally meant for her to see first, and then he could see if she would still be so imposing.
Yan Shuyi had already reached the middle of the corridor, looked back at him, and then left, concealing her Aura.
At this time, the night was deepening, and the inn was silent, with only room A-1 on the first floor surging with Spiritual Qi.
You Buyu was sitting on the bed, continuously condensing the Immortal Dao, with dense beads of sweat on his forehead.
Although he considered himself not inferior to anyone, he couldn't help but be nervous at the foot of Lingjian Mountain at this moment, so his Cultivation became very diligent.
However, at this moment, a fierce Aura suddenly attacked from outside the door, sweeping him off the bed with a roar.
"Who?!"
You Buyu suddenly opened his eyes, a subconscious look of horror rising in them.
