Chapter 183 Obey Her

With the experience from last time, Du Xinghe's ten fingers were flying. The boat he folded this time was better looking, but it was still a little fatter than others, and the two sides were not aligned. It was estimated that it would not float far after entering the water.

"Thank you, Xinghe, you are so kind to me."

But Ji Wuhuo played with the little fat boat she folded in his palm as if it were a treasure.

His hands were beautiful. In the past, what was favored by the young master of the Ji family? Which one was not a rare treasure? This little fat boat was like a magnolia being chewed by a cow in his slender jade-like hands.

“I seem to be praised for everything I do now.”

Du Xinghe said.

"Are you talking about what happened in the Ten States Secret Realm? That is the honor you deserve." Ji Wuhuo's eyes were smiling and his tone was as gentle as a spring breeze.

"What about this boat? It's broken like this, and you still boast about it."

Du Xinghe pointed at the little fat boat with his finger.

Cang Hengzi also had high aesthetic requirements for the appearance of magical instruments when refining them. When he saw this little fat boat, his eyes turned black.

"If I think it's good, then it's good."

Ji Wuhuo put the boat made of gold paper into his storage ring and said, "Who dares to say it's not well made in front of us?"

One is Jindan Zhenren, and the other is the young master of the Ji family.

Du Xinghe nodded: "He has a bit of the temperament of a dandy boy."

"Do you not like it?"

As soon as she said this, his tone softened, and he put on a submissive expression on his very pretty face: "I just don't like people saying bad things about you, but if you ask me to be more restrained, I will be more restrained in front of you."

Du Xinghe understood the hidden meaning in his words——

He was more restrained in front of her, but he was still arrogant in front of outsiders.

After Ji Wuhuo finished speaking, he noticed Du Xinghe turning around, his cold eyes staring at him - the Immortal Alliance had prepared many photo stones for the competition, but they were not open to the cultivators. He went to ask for one and only looked at the part that had her in it.

In this world of cultivating immortals, the pure enjoyment version of the single-player Cut that is highly recommended to fans has been realized in advance.

He particularly liked her eyes, which had a kind of coldness that showed her calmness even when facing death. When she was fighting with an equally powerful opponent, her pupils would flash with tiny, crazy lights. When he was stared at by her, even his breathing became sluggish.

He was looking at her, and wasn't Du Xinghe also admiring his beauty?
"Well, you'd better not hold back and be a little wilder," Du Xinghe raised her hand and pinched his face. This peerless face that was sought after by countless young men and women in Xuan Country was pinched by her like a stress-relieving toy. She couldn't help but sigh, "Being able to grow up like this is also a kind of ability. You should be proud of yourself."

Ji Wuhuo blinked.

In fact, he is also a cultivator with natural spiritual roots who was carefully taught by his family's natural talents and high-level cultivators... Why do you make him sound like a useless vase?

Ji Wuhuo originally planned to show off his abilities in front of Du Xinghe, but after realizing that she preferred his beautiful and weak side, he immediately adjusted his strategy and often put on a slightly innocent expression in front of her, turning the fox into a puppy.

So when she reached out to pinch him, he simply turned his head slightly and put his cheek against her hand, rubbing it.

"As long as you like it."

As he spoke, his lips brushed the palm of her hand.

Du Xinghe recalled how he acted like a noble and aloof gentleman in front of others, and couldn't help but laugh: "It turns out that a noble gentleman's lips are also soft."

Ji Wuhuo's long and thick eyelashes trembled.

Is the noble young master the new character she gave him?

also.

He was about to take advantage of the situation to pursue her, but she took her hand back: "After the Immortal Alliance Competition is over, you will go back to Xuan Country."

"According to the original plan, yes. But where I want to go is just a matter of a word." Ji Wuhuo stood up straight. "Where do you want to go? If you want to come to Xuan Country, I will be the host and I will do my best to be a good host. If you want to go somewhere else, you can take me with you."

"Can those people around you be moved by just one word from you?"

Du Xinghe raised his eyes.

Among the huge guard team of the young master of the Ji family, there are still two masters at least above the Jindan level watching in the dark.

This was noticed by Du Xinghe.

In places she couldn't see, there would be even more deployments to protect Ji Wuhuo.

"of course."

"Even if it delays your work?"

Ji Wuhuo raised his eyebrows and looked over: "Pursuing the Taoist partner I have chosen, isn't this the top priority? My family will support me. If they don't, I have my own way of living." With a smile on his lips, his look was even more captivating.

He spoke frankly, and although he had no experience in love, he did not seem shy at all.

It is probably because he was raised so well by his family that he and his love can be shown openly, just like flowers blooming on branches. No one would feel ashamed because the flowers bloom too beautifully. The peacock's gorgeous tail feathers are born to be spread out to woo a mate.

Du Xinghe asked: "Then do you know the Samsara Courtyard?"

"I know," Ji Wuhuo nodded. "He has contacts with most of the noble families in Xuan Country. Eighty percent of the elixirs used by the noble families come from the Samsara Academy. But their reputation outside the territory of Xuan Country is not very good."

Du Xinghe stopped staring and was shocked.

When she asked her senior brother last time, he had never heard of the name of the Samsara Courtyard. Her senior sister and master were also a little secretive about it and didn't want her to have anything to do with it. But when it came to Ji Wuhuo, he just casually said, "From what you said, it seems to be a very famous formal medicine hall."

"Samsara Academy has many different names for the alchemy workshop, but it's the one behind them. My family has a better relationship with the Miaohuo Sect and doesn't associate with the people from Samsara Academy. The last time one of their people came to talk to my dad, the conversation was particularly unpleasant."

After hearing this, Du Xinghe was even more surprised: "I remember that the Ji family's business is all in the mines."

However, many mineral materials in the world of immortal cultivation can be used to make pills.

It's no surprise that the two have some overlap.

Hearing this, Ji Wuhuo frowned:
"Well... they want something else."

This is so difficult, most likely because it involves family secrets.

The next second, he said: "If you become my Taoist partner, I will have no secrets from you."

It turns out he was waiting for her here.

Du Xinghe: "I don't think I want to sell myself out to explore the mystery."

"Becoming my Taoist partner means selling you to me?"

Ji Wuhuo shook her head. She found that he had almost no expression in front of outsiders, and his manners were extremely correct. It was impossible to catch any trace of his emotions from his micro-expressions or small movements. However, when he saw her, his small movements were so frequent that she almost suspected that he was deliberately being cute with her. "That's too against the will of heaven. I'm clearly promoting a sale so that you can buy me."

He stared at her for a moment, then smiled again: "I have never been a peddler, so I don't need to negotiate business. But I heard that if ordinary people want to sell their goods, they have to let customers taste them to test the quality. So I will let Xinghe experience the feeling of being my Taoist partner."

Ji Wuhuo pulled her hand up and placed his palm against hers.

His palms were cold, and he took out an exquisite jade token from his sleeve and gave it to her. He took his hand away only after making sure that she had kept it.

"My hand is easy to hold, right?"

he asks.

Du Xinghe felt spiritual energy from the jade token, but didn't know how to use it for the time being. He might have given it to her secretly, so it was definitely not a simple jade token. He was probably giving it to her at the risk of being punished by his family.

She had nothing, but the little wealth she had was not lacking by the young master of the Ji family.

How can I repay this favor?

Du Xinghe thought for a moment, then grabbed his hand that he had withdrawn. Seeing his astonished look, he spread his fingers apart with his calloused hands from years of holding swords, interlocked his fingers, and pulled him in front of him: "You call this holding hands between Taoist couples? My disciple and I are more intimate than you."

"..."

Ji Wuhuo stared at her, not knowing how to react.

I saw the blush creeping from his cheeks to the tips of his ears, and in the blink of an eye it was so red that blood could drip out.

"So you're shy?"

Du Xinghe commented curiously: "Not bad, very cute."

He staggered a bit as she pulled him, and suddenly he saw her face enlarged in front of him.

To him, Du Xinghe was more like the swordsman he had imagined in his youth who had come into reality. She met all his fantasies about a Taoist partner - extremely strong and talented, decisive in killing, always keeping her word, and still very cold.

He pursues stars with all his heart, but when the stars take the initiative to get closer to him, he suddenly loses his composure.

"Wait, Xinghe..."

When the two were close enough to kiss, Du Xinghe covered his lips with his other hand and said, "You don't have to really kiss me, right? Kissing through my hand will also count as a kiss."

Her hands were slightly cold, and didn't feel soft when I kissed them.

Ji Wuhuo remembered that this was the hand she held the sword with.

When he thought of this, he was even more excited than when he kissed her lips.

"All right."

Du Xinghe let go of his hand and returned to his original safe social distance.

This was the first time she used her beauty to repay a favor. She looked at the place on the back of her hand that was kissed with a little excitement. This action immediately made Ji Wuhuo's face, which had just calmed down a little, blush again: "I haven't decided where to go after the Immortal Alliance Competition. See you if we are destined to." She paused: "If I go to Xuan Country, I will definitely look for you."

The pie-in-the-sky painting is extremely skillful and smooth.

But Ji Wuhuo was coaxed by such an intangible promise: "Okay."

After watching Du Xinghe leave, Ji Wuhuo slowly withdrew his hand.

A staff member from Xihe Garden came to ask him if he wanted to take a paper boat. He didn't even have to answer in person. A guard stepped forward and raised his hand to politely but distantly separate the man: "We're leaving soon."

The water spirit root cultivator had been close to the water spirit for many years, and he had a warm and watery aura that was easy to get close to. He himself was handsome and elegant, but once he left Du Xinghe, his whole body became quiet, and his eyebrows were full of majesty:

"Well, let's go."

He paused and said, "You are going to report what Xinghe and I said just now to my father, right?"

"Little Lord--"

"It's okay to tell him, but there's one thing I want you to change," he said, "Just say... we really kissed each other, and we were inseparable."

Jinwei showed some hesitation on his face: "But didn't the young master kiss you through the hand just now?"

Ji Wuhuo laughed: "It's only a matter of time."

……

After Du Xinghe returned, he took out the jade token that had been kept a little warm.

The jade token was small and all white, with a variant character engraved on it, which vaguely looked like the character "Ji".

She tried to inject spiritual power into it, and the jade token lit up slightly, but there was no other reaction.

Du Xinghe can see that this jade is good jade, but is it really just a simple piece of jade?
She thought about it, considering that Ji Wuhuo might have given the jade token to her without telling his family, this matter had to be kept secret and she couldn't ask others easily... Fortunately, she also had someone she could trust, so she found Zheng Tianlu and pulled him over to ask for advice in a low voice.

She trusts her senior brother’s character.

Zheng Tianlu took the jade token and examined it carefully: "You said this was given to you by the young master of the Ji family?"

"Correct."

"Why don't you ask your senior sister? They are all from the Xuan Kingdom family."

Du Xinghe was not familiar with her senior sister, but she had received her help many times in the Sea of ​​Mercy. After her senior brother's advice, she activated the Jade Book and called Wen Shuyu in private. This time, her senior sister replied to her quickly: "It's rare for my junior sister to ask me something. Tell me, did someone bully you in the Immortal Alliance Competition? Or did Xiaolu not bring enough spiritual stones? That shouldn't be the case. The card I gave him has no limit."

Every word and sentence exudes grandeur.

Du Xinghe hurriedly said, "It's just that I made friends with a descendant of a Xuan Kingdom family at the Immortal Alliance Competition. He gave me a jade token, but I don't know how to use it..."

She described what happened.

Wen Shuyu replied:

"Oh, it's the jade identity card, right? Just stick it against the jade tablet and inject spiritual energy into it."

After a while, she added: "I don't give this thing to others easily. Since I give it to you, you should be careful with it."

Du Xinghe replied: "Thank you, Senior Sister. Since this concerns other people's privacy, I am speaking in a more obscure way..."

Wen Shuyu: "I don't mind this little thing. But you really have to keep the Ji family's jade token. It can protect you in some situations, but it can also make some people want to kill you."

"..."

Wen Shuyu: "You are surprised that I know it is the Ji family's jade token? There are countless people watching his every move, not to mention that he has someone he likes. Originally, my family wanted to match him with me, but he has liked sword cultivation since he was a child, and the Ji family also respected his wishes. Well, I have other things to do, you can try to activate his identity jade token first."

Senior Sister Wen just thought it was a sweet and interesting thing between Junior Sister and Master Ji.

I didn't even think about leaking the information.

Du Xinghe followed the method suggested by Senior Sister Wen, pasted the milky white jade plate on the jade tablet, and then injected spiritual power into it.

The original text on the jade tablet slowly dissipated, revealing a scene that ordinary cultivators could not see.

All kinds of transactions and information that cannot be seen in public and cannot be disclosed appeared so openly on the front page of the Jade Book.

Du Xinghe searched the Samsara Academy first, and was able to directly retrieve the "offline" Alchemy Hall of the Samsara Academy. There also appeared some names of elixirs that Master Rong Yu had mentioned to her and which had long been banned from being refined.

From here, you can also see the records of Ji Wuhuo's conversations with others on the jade tablet. Du Xinghe originally just wanted to use his power to investigate the affairs of the Samsara Courtyard, not really wanting to pry into his privacy, so he quickly glanced at it.

With the help of his identity jade token, her understanding of the Samsara Institute was further deepened.

The evil alchemist of Black Tooth City in the Sea of ​​Mercy did come from the Samsara Academy.

There are related discussions on the underground forum about the fall of Black Tooth City and the awakening of the Sea Lord.

[Do any of you want to go to Blacktooth City? I heard the auction was ruined. ]

[The Sea Lord would never allow anyone to do this kind of thing in her waters, so it was expected that this would fail.]

[All the materials that the Samsara Institute brought were lost inside, and the Sea Master did not return them.]

[Not only that, I heard that the branch of the Samsara Institute in the Yingcang Desert was completely slaughtered. Could it be that the Sea Lord did it? ]

[The Sea Lord never interferes with matters on the shore. The Evil Pill Master used the Mercy Sea as his base of operations and offended the Sea Lord. It is not unfair that he was killed this time! But I heard that a swordsman was also involved... If you want to know more, you can contact me. I will pay you.]

Du Xinghe's gaze rested on the person who mentioned a sword cultivator.

His name on the underground Taoist forum is "False Talker".

As time passed, no one discussed the matter any more.

From their conversation, Du Xinghe guessed that the Samsara Institute had many enemies, and having a branch slaughtered was nothing new under the sun.

She sent a private message to that false Taoist priest, wanting to find out about the affairs of the Samsara House.

But this time I was not so lucky. The other party was not looking at the jade edict and I didn’t get a reply for a long time.

Du Xinghe had to look at other things on the homepage.

One of the titles of the discussion attracted her:

"The Samsara Institute and the Ji family have fallen out again, it's so funny"

[If anyone wants to know why we fell out, please send me ten high-quality spirit stones privately.]

[Ten high-quality spirit stones? You might as well go grab them.]

The poster of the Lun Dao post replied: [My main job is robbery, and my side job is information dealer. ]

【…】

Some people actually bought it, and the comments they left were all hilarious.

Du Xinghe couldn't help but be a little curious.

But it is impossible to buy one piece of information with ten spirit stones.

She took off the jade token, changed back to her own identity, and sent a private message to Ji Wuhuo.

Ji Wuhuo: "How is it, am I useful?"

He seemed to have recovered from the shock of the previous incident and was back to being as talkative and cheerful as ever.

"It's useful," Du Xinghe asked, "but I want to know why your family broke up with the Samsara Academy. Can you tell me? I saw someone selling this information for ten high-quality spirit stones..."

"Am I not worth your ten spirit stones?"

Ji Wuhuo was silent for a moment, then sent these somewhat sad words.

Du Xinghe didn't say anything and directly swiped his senior brother's card to transfer ten high-quality spirit stones.

Ji Wuhuo's reply this time was a picture of a smiling puppy.

Ji Wuhuo: "I can tell you, it's not a secret."

Ji Wuhuo: "The Samsara Institute was plotting against me, which angered my father."

Du Xinghe immediately recalled the male cultivator with water spiritual roots who was imprisoned in a cage that he saw at the flying boat auction.

At that time, she had only met that person once, and had no ability to save him, nor did she have any intention of being chivalrous.

But if the person trapped in the cage turned out to be Ji Wuhuo, she suddenly felt a surge of anger in her heart.

just like……

It seems that the puppy who only knows how to act cute and obedient to him has been targeted by illegal dog dealers.

Du Xinghe frowned: "I know that the Samsara Academy can make human pills. Do they want to take you away?"

"You misunderstood. They don't want to take me away, nor do they dare to think so... If they want to take me away, it would be more than just a breakdown in the negotiations," Ji Wuhuo paused and stopped deliberately keeping the secret: "They want a child from me in exchange for cooperation with them."

"……what?"

Du Xinghe was stunned.

Ji Wuhuo doesn’t even know what’s going on in life, so where does the child come from?
As if he could see her confusion through the jade book, Ji Wuhuo added, "They wanted to reserve my first child in the future. I don't know what they were going to do with it. My father didn't give them a chance to speak out and kicked them out. However, you can imagine that I wouldn't agree if they weren't going to do anything good with it."

Du Xinghe thought of the reformed children he saw at the branch of the Samsara Institute.

She was silent for a moment.

Ji Wuhuo: "Do you have any grudges with the Samsara Institute?"

Du Xinghe replied: "Just curious."

Ji Wuhuo: "It's not convenient to tell me, right? It doesn't matter, I won't ask, I'll tell you when it's convenient for you."

Rather than her making up a story to deceive him, he would rather wait quietly for the truth.

Ji Wuhuo did not ask any further questions, so Du Xinghe put away the jade token he had given him and placed the jade tablet aside.

I never thought that the Samsara Institute would be so crazy that it would dare to ask the Ji family for a child.

"Junior sister, what did you buy with my card just now?"

Zheng Tianlu poked his head in.

Du Xinghe made up a random answer: "I bought a child."

As soon as Zheng Tianlu heard it, he knew that his junior sister was fooling him again.

"Well, if you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me. I will check it myself."

He puffed up his cheeks in anger and directly checked the Chamber of Commerce's transfer records on the jade book, and found that the recipient was Ji Wuhuo.

Combined with what Junior Sister said...

Zheng Tianlu's pupils constricted.

He wouldn't have discovered something extraordinary!
Oh my god!

Seeing Zheng Tianlu's expression turn into the same one as in the famous painting "The Scream", the bodyguard monk next to him also took a look and said to Du Xinghe: "My ten high-grade spirit stones are not enough."

"……what are you saying?"

"You have to raise the price," the bodyguard Tian Xiao said with a stern face, "I don't usually do this kind of business."

“…I don’t want to buy it either.”

Du Xinghe told him to stop, and the more he thought about it, the more horrifying it became.

Unable to open up a new track for himself, Tian Xiao gave up the idea in disappointment.

At this time, Shenshui opened the door curtain and walked in: "Master, are you coming to the celebration banquet tonight?"

Although something big happened in the Immortal Alliance Competition, there were still many cultivators who survived and achieved good results. They were finally able to relax after being tense for many days and wanted to have some fun. Xihe Garden became the best place.

He had just recovered from his injury when he continued to play music and dance.

Du Xinghe wondered: "You invited me?"

"Of course we must invite Master! Master saved all their lives!" Shenshui rushed to Master. He had dressed up today and looked more beautiful than usual. "If they don't invite Father, they would be ungrateful! But they have no friendship with Master, so they can only ask me to invite them... Master, do you want to go?"

Du Xinghe flatly refused: "No, you can have more fun." She paused and said: "Take Xinyue with you."

Hearing this, Xinyue looked up in astonishment: "I'll just stay by Master's side."

"I'm not dead. You don't have to watch over me for twelve hours."

Du Xinghe waved his hand.

Normally, she would not interfere with her apprentice's actions, but after the Immortal Alliance Competition, she began to feel that Xinyue needed some normal social interaction... Xinyue's attention and dependence on her were not just superficial master and apprentice, he also treated her as his reborn parent.

Then it is reasonable for parents to let their children go out and see the world.

Du Xinghe felt that he had this responsibility.

Xinyue is so young, she should have her own life.

"But, there is no one around Master..." Xinyue still wanted to fight for it.

Tian Xiao: "I can stay and accompany your master for five top-grade spirit stones."

Du Xinghe glanced at him and said, "You get out too."

She waved for Shenshui to come over: "Don't just talk to the male cultivators, take your sister out to play, but if someone bullies her, you have to stand up and protect her. Come to me if there is any problem."

However, it is expected that nothing will happen in Xihe Garden.

Shanshui patted his chest and agreed: "Master, don't worry, I'm here to take good care of you."

“…It’s still unclear who will take care of whom.”

Xinyue whispered.

She didn't want her master to think she was unreliable, and she didn't want Shenshui to be better than her.

Du Xinghe smiled and said, "You are better than Shenshui, but you have come into contact with too few people. Take the opportunity to meet more people. You don't have to make friends with them, but just see... how the interpersonal relationships of cultivators in this world are like. Only by experiencing it, you will know what you want."

These trials and errors in life should have been supported and completed by Xinyue's parents.

Since there is none, her master will do it.

Knowing that Du Xinghe had made up his mind, Xinyue did not resist anymore and just treated it as a task assigned by her master.

It was a rare occasion for Zheng Tianlu to leave Miaohuomen for a long journey, so he took Tianxiao with him to play.

After nightfall, Xihe Garden was brightly lit, with singing, dancing and laughter echoing throughout the garden, dispelling the gloom brought about by the previous invasion of the fog cave - it might also be that the sects whose cultivators died in the secret realm had all left with their remaining disciples, and those who stayed behind were all winners.

The winner is naturally happy
Du Xinghe was the only one left in the No. 1 room.

The more lively the Xihe Garden was, the colder and more lonely she seemed.

She actually enjoyed this rare quietness, with no one chattering around her.

Du Xinghe stepped on the air, jumped onto the roof, and looked up at the starry sky.

The night was as cool as water, ruffling her hair.

only……

Du Xinghe raised his hand.

The invisible chain was still hanging in her hand, and she could feel where her "servant" was and how far away he was.

Du Xinghe sighed: "Your Majesty, now that you are here..."

"If you don't welcome me, what's the point of me coming?"

Emperor Ying Cang's muffled voice rang in her ears.

She couldn't see his figure, but the other end connected to him disappeared in the night wind, proving that he was right beside her.

"When did I say you're not welcome?"

"I don't want to bother you."

His cold voice concealed a sense of grievance.

Therefore, even with the same good family background, two completely opposite types of people can be produced.

Your Majesty is just wasting your time and energy on yourself.

Since he was hiding and not coming out, Du Xinghe smiled and said, "Well, after I learned the new ability of the Gu Shen Jue, I haven't tried to use it yet, so I'll try it today..."

Her melodious and determined voice echoed in the night wind: "I will set up a 10-meter range as a Gu breeding ground. My servants must appear in front of me."

She can't control the fusion period.

But if Emperor Ying Cang doesn't want the chain to break, he has to obey her.

In the blink of an eye, a figure in green appeared in front of her, and the emperor glared at her with a hint of anger in his eyes.

Du Xinghe laughed again: "It's quite useful."

So A... I'm going to be A-ed by Sister Du oooooo... I love writing about her...
