Madam, please ascend.

Chapter 243 You smell like her rouge

Although Jiang Miaojin is not a cultivator, she comes from a family of generals and has an extraordinary political sense.

Yun Yi's seemingly casual words made her shudder.

The incident of the True Heart Spring in Yue Lao Temple can be big or small. To put it simply, it is just the "appearance of immortals". Similar things often happen in Da Xia. Sometimes, the "miracles" in the eyes of mortals are just the casual acts of people who practice cultivation.

A cultivator like Zhuque who is at the Return to Void Realm has cultivation to rely on, so he won't be too wary of such things.

But to put it in a broader context, the True Heart Spring reflected the "weaknesses" of many people in Dong'an City. If the person behind the scenes exploited this incident, they could easily control many powerful people.

"The second son of the Minister of Revenue actually took a photo of his own wife's face!"

"The Minister of Justice actually saw the face of the top performer of Yingcui Tower?"

Love between men and women should be a beautiful thing that is tacitly understood, but there are always some feelings that are hidden and cannot be seen in the light.

The more Jiang Miaojin thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. She asked, "Should we report this to the Imperial Observatory?"

The Imperial Observatory was a force directly under the Emperor Su Rui, and they had put a lot of effort into pacifying the Dique Gate incident, with many Qigong practitioners among them.

Logically speaking, the affairs of Zhenxin Spring should be left to them.

Yun Yi said, "The problem is who will do the communication. I'm afraid neither you nor I are suitable."

"You can send a letter incognito, explaining the benefits and risks of the True Heart Spring."

"I think it's too late."

Jiang Miaojin thought about it carefully. Yue Lao Temple had indeed been located outside the city for many years and was originally dilapidated and had long been deserted. Yet, it had inexplicably resumed its popularity a month ago and offered a treasure like the True Heart Spring.

A month is neither too long nor too short, and it is enough time for the people behind the scenes to gather information.

Jiang Miaojin nodded and said, "So it's better to keep it for now, so as not to alert the enemy."

Yun Yi said, "Maybe we can follow the clues and find a key role."

It was late at night, and the three of them returned to Prince Xian's mansion and went to rest.

Yun Yi took the opportunity to sort out his thoughts, but he always felt that something was missing. Moreover, the core forces of Futian Pavilion have not appeared so far. Does this mean that Daxia is not their main target?

A graceful figure suddenly entered the room, with her arms folded across her chest and a sullen look on her face.

Who else could it be but Suzaku?

"You have a woman's scent on you, and it's a bit pungent. Do you know that?"

"I didn't pay much attention to it."

"Miao Jin was here just now, so some things were inconvenient to say. Shouldn't you tell the truth now?"

"Let me think about how to make it short." Yun Yi thought for a moment, "The female spy from Dayan wanted to find out my background, but in the end, I found out hers instead."

Zhuque quickly stopped him: "What you said sounds a bit strange."

Yun Yi smiled and said, "The clean ones will be clean, and the dirty ones will be dirty."

"Don't try to change the subject. I know you too well. When it comes to things you feel guilty about, you always try to avoid the important issues!"

"This is to save you from trouble... I won't tease you anymore. Da Yan's intention is to win me over. Besides, they are not of the same mind. Some want to kill Su Qing, while others don't."

Zhuque saw a smudge of rouge on Yun Yi's clothes, which was immediately dazzling. He gathered a stream of water from his fingertips and began to wipe it carefully. She said, "Anyway, the purpose of your trip is to protect the Great Xia Dynasty and save Su Qing, right?" She emphasized the word "Su Qing" deliberately.

It's interesting to say that when Song Xinci disguised herself and joined the Fuyao Sect, she had some dealings with Su Qing. In addition, when Yun Yi was seriously injured, Su Qing used elixirs to prolong his life.

Therefore, Song Xinci had no hostility towards Su Qing, but Zhuque seemed a little jealous.

Yun Yi watched Suzaku approach him, carefully wiping the rouge on his collar, and his tone softened. "The most important thing is to understand Futian Pavilion's plan. If we can stop it, that would be great. If we can't, we can still prepare in advance."

Zhuque: "I just want to remind you, if you encounter a critical situation, don't go up and fight desperately. If all else fails, we can go back to the Buried Sword Valley to get help."

"I understand. After all, we are cultivators. If we can't convince the other party with worldly principles, then we can only tear each other apart."

"Alas, when I first met you, I hoped you were a gentleman. Now that we've known each other for a long time, I hope you're a despicable villain. After all, a gentleman's life is short, while a villain's life is long."

Suzaku didn't realize that his words had other implications.

In the dim candlelight, Yun Yi glanced at Zhuque inadvertently, and it became difficult for him to look away.

In the past, the two of them always walked together, so Yun Yi was already familiar with her scent. Now, perhaps because of Ye Lan's charm, Suzaku's scent suddenly became clearer.

It's like brewing osmanthus honey, which is extremely sweet at first, with a long aftertaste and the fragrance of the flowers lingering for a long time.

Yun Yi felt dry mouth and a sweet smell in his nose.

After wiping his collar, Zhuque double-checked to make sure there was no trace of anyone else's rouge on it.

She finally breathed a sigh of relief, patted her chest and said, "Don't think you can go out and do bad things just because you have Su Xin's face. Otherwise, I will tell the young lady when I get back!"

Yun Yi's eyes blurred, and the image of the woman's trembling breasts lingered in his mind. He struggled to shift his gaze to other parts of Suzaku's body, but for some reason, everything about her was mouth-watering.

It's broken, I'm afraid it's going to capsize in the ditch.

Zhuque finally realized that something was wrong. Her pretty face flushed instantly and she pushed away the man who had unknowingly put his hands around her waist.

She sniffed hard and found that Yun Yi's fragrance had a mysterious meaning. She asked doubtfully, "Have you been charmed?!"

Yun Yi took advantage of the situation and said, "The drinks there...are really strong."

He pretended to lie down, groaning as if he was really unwell.

Unexpectedly, Zhuque turned around and ran away, leaving only a sentence: "Then wake up yourself!"

This… the boat didn’t capsize, but it seemed as if it might as well have.

Yun Yi was at a loss for words, thinking that when they were new, Suzaku had been quite bold, always flirting and teasing, enjoying it. But now that they were getting closer, she was as timid as a rabbit.

Could it be that the Hehuan Sect's charm technique also emphasizes returning to simplicity?
Just as he was thinking about it, Suzaku came back, but his body did not enter the room, he just stuck his head in.

She said seriously, "Don't disturb Princess Xian!"

"Who do you take me for?"

"Do you think you are a good person?" Zhuque snorted coldly and left again.

Before leaving, she thought of the scene of going to see the True Heart Spring with Jiang Miaojin tonight. Fortunately, Jiang Miaojin did not see Yun Yi's face in it, and fortunately... she saw Yun Yi in it.

I just wonder who the big pig's hoof will see in there?
