Fairy, don't try to mess with my filial piety

After I finish some things, when I look back and review them, I find them incredible, and then I feel a little scared.

If the Lord of Jieshi City had not turned into a river dragon at that time, but had really turned into a dragon, he would most likely not have had time to run away.

If there were remnants of the Hehuan Sect hiding in Jieshi City at that time and secretly cast a spell on him, Chu Wuji would also be in great danger.

Even judging from the results, Aunt Qingshe is nearby and Ning Xianzhi's mother is also nearby, so Chu Wuji's potential power is very stable!

But it is their own business whether they are strong or not. If Chu Wu Ji died too quickly or too carelessly, they would not be able to rescue him in time.

Because the outside world does not understand the situation in Jieshi City.

Chu Wuji thought about it again and said thankfully, "Maybe ignorance is really the truth. At that time, I just wanted to kill the city lord and run away, and didn't think too much about the dragon. I also have the merit and luck to protect me, so the journey should be smooth."

Tushan Yourong did not complain about Chu Wuzhi's recklessness. This young man had been thinking about the White Snake Mother for a while, and now he was willing to take risks for her, a "ghost" he met by chance, just to fight for a chance for her to stay.

The intention is unquestionable!

"Then, young master, tell me about your experience in Jieshi City. And also, tell me who cleaned out your granary so thoroughly!"

This demon who brought disaster to the nation. The seductive fox girl stared at him intently, her eyes playful, as if trying to determine who had stolen her offerings. Every bit of Chu Wuji's food supply was hers.

"..."

Chu Wuji didn't expect that he would break out in cold sweat on a cold winter morning.

*

The two chatted until noon. The sunlight melted the chill of the early morning, and the sunlight shining through the window added a touch of warmth to the house.

Chu Wuji reluctantly confessed the matter of his aunt. Tushan Yourong didn't know who Chu Wuji's relatives were, but when she heard that "it was his aunt who turned the pond into hot spring fish soup", Tushan Yourong immediately knew who it was!

Especially after knowing that the pond had turned into hot spring fish soup again during this meeting, Tushan Yourong's face looked unhappy.

She was a little angry, her expression slightly irritated: "Next time, I will settle the score with this green snake!"

Chu Wuji, as an accomplice, felt embarrassed and shameless. He couldn't help but plead for Aunt Qingshe, so he could only change the subject:

"Ahem, it's noon, Lady Fox, shall we go to Prince Jing'an's mansion for lunch?"

"Well, Wuji, it's time for you to show up. Otherwise, that little princess will come to walk the cat every now and then. I'll be lying in the house, and the yard outside will be filled with the meowing of cats."

The fox girl sighed helplessly. There was really nothing that could be done about this situation.

It was difficult to rush her, so she could only wait patiently for the little princess to finish walking the cat and then continue to sleep and rest.

Chu Wuji smiled. He took down the ring-handled sword from the wall and planned to return it after dinner.

Tushan Yourong transformed into a graceful and charming white fox and jumped onto Chu Wuji's shoulder.

She suddenly remembered something and asked, "I almost forgot to ask, Wuji, what is that big box you brought back? Is it the treasure of the Jieshi City Lord?"

How come this sounds like I just brought a box of loot with me?

Chu Wuji explained, "It was given by a branch of Hailan's shop. When that shop changed hands, they gave some of the exotic clothing to the Sky Fox Goddess as a gift."

Tushan Yourong remembered Hailan House, which was run by the shopkeeper Guan from Wenshui County.

"Then come back later and see what rare clothes you have~"

There are guests coming to the Jing'an Palace today.

Pavilion Master Fan visited again, but this time he didn't come to ask for the big goose, but to inquire about the news.

The intelligence organization of Lihuo Country received an urgent letter via carrier pigeon today, saying that there was chaos in Jieshi City, and the city lord was assassinated in the street and turned into a giant dragon.

But there was no more specific information. It was too chaotic at the time, with the retainers fighting and snatching things away. The spies from the Fire Nation were afraid of dying there and did not dare to get close.

Things like this would happen normally, and Pavilion Master Fan would at most applaud and gloat over the misfortune.

No matter how chaotic the situation is over there, it would be difficult for the Lihuo Kingdom to take advantage of the situation and it is truly out of reach.

The reason I have been paying attention to that area in the past is that I wanted to understand its development experience.

However, considering that Princess Jing'an's adopted son had been inquiring about information about Jieshi City a while ago, things seemed to become interesting.

"Princess Jing'an, are you really completely unaware of what happened in Jieshi City?"

"How can I know about something so far away? Even if I ride at full speed, it will take me several months to travel!"

"Where is Mr. Chu?" Pavilion Master Fan asked again.

"Wu Ji left a while ago and hasn't come back yet."

Princess Jing'an's response seemed flawless, smooth and comprehensive, but in fact she knew nothing.

However, when the beautiful princess saw Pavilion Master Fan's inquiring intentions, she couldn't help but wonder in her heart whether something big had happened.

At this time, Wen Yaoer's joyful voice came from outside: "Brother! You are back, it's okay~"

Chu Wuji picked up the girl and asked with a smile, "Why do you say 'okay'?"

The girl spoke eloquently, "Because Yao'er misses her brother so much, she's almost dying. She's worried that it'll be a few months before we can see each other again!"

Pavilion Master Fan came out and said, "I also think that Master Chu's return is very timely. He can answer some of my questions and clear up some confusions."

Chapter 128: Prince Jing'an's Temper

When Chu Wuji saw Pavilion Master Fan's expression, he knew that news had come from Jieshi City.

He was a little surprised, and while taking off the knife blank from his waist, he asked:

"Master Fan, how did you transmit the information so quickly? I'm returning the knife blank to you. It's indeed incredibly sharp!"

In principle, matters involving intelligence agencies cannot be mentioned to outsiders at all. Once a loophole is opened, the relevant people will let go of their awe, and the rules will become meaningless.

But fortunately, she is the one who sets the principles.

"Specially bred and trained, these carrier pigeons are extremely obedient. They're deployed at secret outposts along the Lihuo Mountains, relaying intelligence. They can fly at nearly full speed."

As she spoke, Pavilion Master Fan raised her arm and made a summoning gesture, and a small pigeon the size of an egg instantly appeared on her finger.

"No wonder it's so fast, it turns out there's a transit station. I was wondering if homing pigeons don't need to rest~"

Chu Wuji guessed that these pigeons were fed with some rare treasures during breeding, so they could probably be considered spiritual beasts, right?

With his eyesight, he actually caught the afterimage of the little pigeon just now. If observed by an ordinary person, it would probably appear by teleportation.

Pavilion Master Fan pulled out the knife blank and sensed the scent of blood remaining on the blade. She couldn't make an accurate judgment like the Sky Fox Goddess, but she could roughly sense that it was a rare monster.

She asked curiously, "Young Master Chu, you have to reveal some information about the big goose and Jieshi City, right?"

Chu Wuji was temporarily fed up with the big goose, so he simply said: "I don't know the situation in Jieshi City. I just went there to deal with a personal grudge."

"A personal grudge? Can it reach such a distant place?"

"This is a personal matter. When I was about to get rid of the city lord, he turned into a river dragon. With the help of my elders, I took advantage of the situation and got rid of him. That's all."

Pavilion Master Fan did not ask any questions and did not embarrass Chu Wuji. She clasped her fists and said goodbye:

"I still have to send the knife blank back to the warehouse, so I'll take my leave now."

After Pavilion Master Fan left, Princess Jing'an and Wen Yaoer looked at him curiously.

Princess Jing'an is already a wife, and has been taught by her family since childhood. She knows how to restrain her curiosity. If she asks questions randomly, not only will she be alienated, but in a worse case scenario, she will bring trouble to the family.

If Chu Wuji didn't take the initiative to share his experience, she wouldn't ask rashly. At best, she would just guess in her mind.

But Wen Yaoer grew up under the care of the Queen and her mother, and she didn't have so many worries since she was a child.

The girl took the initiative to pick up some food for Chu Wuji. After showing her courtesy, she got into Chu Wuji's arms, sat on his thighs face to face, raised her little face, blinked her bright eyes and asked:

"Yao'er is worried about whether my brother is injured. Can you talk to me?"

The Sky Fox Lady hid her figure and couldn't help but smile and said to Chu Wuji, "This little girl is really cute and smart. She knows how to use coquettishness to please others. She must have been a little fox in her previous life."

After meeting all kinds of people, I know that acting coquettishly is also a talent, and learning it later will always lack some meaning.

How many daughters from wealthy families have bad tempers and are spoiled. They rely on their status to act cruelly and take human lives without regard for others, and are no less cruel than the executioners on the execution ground.

Chu Wuji had no way to deal with Wen Yaoer, so he urged her to go back to her seat to eat, saying:

"Let's eat first, and chat afterward."

"Then I want to eat here with my brother!" Little Princess Yaoer insisted on sticking to him.

The Heavenly Fox Goddess appeared on her seat at the right time, causing the girl to exclaim in surprise, "Fox Goddess." Then she left Chu Wuji's arms, hugged the exceptionally beautiful nine-tailed fox, and ate together.

After dinner, Chu Wuzhi did not break his promise and gave a brief account of what was happening in Jieshi City.

Princess Jing'an couldn't believe that someone could really kill the dragon. She rarely showed her curiosity and asked:

"Where is the body of that giant dragon? Wuji, could you please open my eyes?"

She subconsciously thought that Chu Wuzhi knew the spells to collect objects and took the river dragon's body away as a trophy.

Chu Wuji was a little embarrassed, he said:

"The body is at the Immortal Sect. I don't know any magic yet, so I just relied on brute force."

Wen Yaoer didn't want her brother's eyes to always look towards her mother, so she shook his hand to attract his attention and asked:

"Brother, what grudge do you have with that city lord? Why did you travel thousands of miles to kill him?"

"The litter of fox cubs you adopted was killed by this city lord."

"......Ah? Then the city lord is indeed a bad guy, and he deserves his brother's revenge!" The little princess snorted, feeling indignant for the little foxes' fate.

"Yao'er, girls should be careful with their conversation and not be rude." The mature and plump young princess gently reprimanded her daughter.

Wen Yaoer stuck out her tongue, but did not resist her mother's teachings. She knew that her mother would not blame her casually, and she was only reminding her because she was indeed rude.

The girl looked up at Chu Wuji, confirming whether he disliked her indecent manners. Seeing that Chu Wuji just pinched her face, the girl felt relieved.

"Brother, in half a month, I'll leave the cat in our mansion with you, okay?"

Chu Wuji glanced at the Fox Queen, who had a strong opinion about Mao'er. The Fox Queen was hiding at the table, drinking his tea, and nodded in agreement.

"Sure, you often go to my place to walk the cat anyway, but why do you want to save it at my old house?"

"Because my father doesn't like cats. He thinks cats listen to me but not him. In previous years, he even tried to hit a kitten with a teacup, but luckily it missed!"

When Wen Yaoer mentioned this matter, her little mouth pouted in grievance, and it was definitely not a fabrication.

Chu Wuji found it a little hard to imagine. He looked at Princess Jing'an, the dignified and well-mannered beautiful woman across the table, and nodded silently.

It is said that family disgrace should not be made public, but Chu Wuji should not be considered an outsider now.

Princess Jing'an said, "He must have been out socializing with various princes and nobles, and something went wrong. When he came back and saw that the kitten was ignoring him, he took advantage of the situation to vent his anger."

Wen Yaoer also complained, saying, "He only comes back for a month during the Spring Festival every year, and then leaves immediately. I don't even know what urgent matters are happening outside."

Chu Wuji really found it difficult to evaluate this situation.

But I also feel that there is this possibility. If Prince Jing'an is in the capital, others will be wary of him because he has a sister, the Queen. But when he is outside, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, and people may not respect Prince Jing'an as much as they do in the capital.

The reputation of Prince Jing'an, and even the reputation of the Wen family, were to a large extent earned by Empress Wen in the palace, who had lived like a bird in a cage for more than ten years.

After having a bad time outside, he comes back to vent his anger on the kitten, and then goes out to play again. What is he trying to achieve?

Chu Wuji had never met Prince Jing'an, and had never even heard of him outside, so he did not talk about him, but only asked:

"So, Prince Jing'an will be back soon?"

Princess Jing'an calculated the days and replied:

"It's almost time, but it's strange. Normally, he should have sent a letter back by now. A few days ago, the Holy Queen reminded him to behave himself!"

Wen Yaoer saw that the topic was becoming less relaxed and pleasant, so she asked:

"Brother, will you leave soon?"

"Not in the near future. Even if I do move around, I'll probably just go in and out of the capital and wander around the mountains and forests in the suburbs!"

"If it's convenient, brother, can you take me for a walk in the forest? Okay~!"

Chu Wuji nodded in agreement repeatedly and had to agree with the words of the Sky Fox Goddess. This little princess might have been a little fox in her previous life.

After the rest after dinner, the princess and her daughter went for a nap, while Chu Wuji sat in meditation in the front yard of the palace, accepting the cultivation guidance of the Heavenly Fox Goddess.

"Young Master, this training today will determine whether you want to continue tempering your physical body. If there is no progress, you can directly start the path of spiritual energy training and don't need to bother with polishing your physical body anymore."

"Is it that serious? Do you think this will happen in the future?"
