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

She knew that Chu Wuji's behavior of wearing a mask at that time was "unnecessary" and there was no need to do so, but by doing so, he could allow the entire sacrificial process to continue smoothly, and the people would only regard it as a part of exorcising ghosts and bestowing blessings.

The riots started and ended that night, and the panic did not continue.

This is a disguised way of respecting the dignity of local beliefs.

Chu Wuji smiled kindly and shook his head:

"It's not worth thanking you too much. Strictly speaking, the Buddha Mother Chi Guang escaped from my hands and affected the peace and tranquility of the Tianji Kingdom. I should do this.

If Yu Jijiu offers a generous reward, it will seem like I'm directing and acting all by myself, just to show off my power."

The Minister of Rites bowed in greeting, feeling strange:

"I was just chatting with Yu Jijiu earlier, saying that it would be great if we could get to know the immortal master of Jing'an Palace and ask him to help preside over the Ghost Festival sacrifice.

I didn't expect that my prediction would come true. The Immortal Master did arrive, but the way he presided over the event was a bit shocking!"

When the Sixth Princess heard about the marriage, she found it unbelievable. How could the great Tianji Kingdom be so servile as to send its own princess to marry? It was simply a disgrace.

Now she began to understand Yu Jijiu's fear and worry.

The Sixth Princess looked at the handsome appearance of the immortal master and felt a little regretful that she had married too early. If it had been a few years later, it would have been much better for her to marry a foreign prince!

The Sixth Princess said, "I've long heard of your great name, and now I can finally meet you in person! I wonder if the Earthly Official had Immortal Master Chu wear a mask when the evil spirit was causing trouble?"

Taoist Jiuwu has already started tasting the wine, savoring the special wine sent by Tianji Country. She answered on behalf of Chu Wuji:

"Everything is caused by something in the dark. The Buddha Mother Chi Guang came to the mortal world to cause trouble. Wu Ji might have come here in response to the arrangement of the dark. Don't delve into it.

Even the old man of the Gong Mansion would take the trouble to arrange the development of his clan. Isn't it normal for the Earth Official of Tianji Country to arrange Wuji to clean up some minor troubles? "

Chu Wuji understood and nodded in agreement with the Jiuwu Taoist's words.

This drunken immortal was quite careful. If things like this were explained too clearly, it would be disrespectful to the local gods and beliefs and would undermine other people's prestige.

It seems quite good to just use the phrase "somewhere in the dark" to pass it over.

Chu Wuji was not very familiar with these high-ranking nobles of Tianji Kingdom and did not have much to talk about, but now that they had met unexpectedly, the matter of the little princess should be made clear.

This cannot be vague.

"You are worrying too much about the marriage. You don't need to worry about this anymore in the future," he said confidently.

The Kunlun Saint, who had been watching in secret, hesitated for a moment when she heard the topic come to this, but still chose to show up with the little princess.

In the first few years after she was abducted and taken to Kunlun Ruins, the Kunlun Saint secretly returned to the capital and visited relatives and friends, but she never showed up.

She was worried that once they met, they would become awkward and have nothing to talk about.

In the past, when I reminisced, all I could think of were the good memories. But after meeting again, if I want to recall the good old days, all that may be left is the awkwardness and strangeness of meeting each other without words.

It really destroys the nostalgia in my heart.

Now that she has let it go, the Kunlun Saint gradually no longer has that concern.

She led the little princess Huaiwan to sit beside her and said:

"The marriage should indeed be postponed, but Xiao Wan'er wants to stay in Lihuo Country to play, so let her live there for the time being."

The Minister of Rites and the Sixth Princess were stunned when they looked at the face of the Holy Maiden of Kunlun.

"Princess Huaiyan!"

"elder sister!"

When the previous princess disappeared, it took quite some time before a disciple from Kunlunxu came to deliver a message and explain her whereabouts.

Although they knew where the princess was, they had never had the chance to meet her over the years. Even those who were lucky enough to go to Kunlun Ruins rarely saw her.

After many years, the Minister of Rites' hair has turned white, the Sixth Princess is no longer a little girl, and the previous princess is still young and beautiful, with fair skin and a mysterious and mature temperament.

The Kunlun Saint smiled faintly:

"Don't look at me like that. When I was kidnapped, I was only ten years old, younger than Wan'er. Compared to the impression you have of me now, I should have grown up a lot~"

The Sixth Princess felt relieved when she heard her joking tone. She grumbled:

"Yes, she's grown a lot, but how can you stop growing after the age of 20? Compared to you, my sister looks old!"

Chu Wuji was happy to see them chatting, otherwise it would have brought up the issue of neighboring countries' diplomacy!

After a few cups of tea, the government guards came to report:

"Sir, many people have come from outside, all of them are royal relatives and nobles. We would like to invite the spirit medium to our house as a guest and show our hospitality."

The Minister of Rites wiped his sweat, this is the disadvantage of lack of intelligence.

You call the immortal master from the neighboring country a medium, so forget about inviting him as a guest, it would be good enough if you don’t offend anyone!

But the anxiety of these royal relatives and nobles is understandable. In the past, when they heard that a feng shui master was more powerful, they would visit him to pray and ask him for help in checking their fortune.

I suddenly heard that the gods appeared tonight, so I must invite them to my house. Even if I can't establish a stable relationship with them, at least I can get some of the gods' energy and ward off the bad luck in the house.

The Minister of Rites did not make his own decision. He turned his gaze to Chu Wuji and asked for his opinion:

"What does Master Chu mean?"

Chu Wuji had no intention of visiting, so he said:

"I won't visit you anymore. If I linger and disturb you, taking advantage of your prestige, I'll be stealing the gods' incense and power. Tonight is the Tianji Kingdom's festival, and we should honor our ancestors. How can they focus all their attention on an outsider like me?

If you need to retreat, then retreat. Take a step forward."

Chapter 401 Yaoer: Princess Di can’t bring her mother here?

Chu Wuji returned to Lihuo Country, from the unfamiliar capital next door to the familiar capital, and found that the Kunlun Saint had followed him.

The jade girl who had not appeared just now also appeared now. The way she looked around seemed like she was scouting the place.

Chu Wuji couldn't help but worry whether she was planning a night attack and trying to abduct him back to Kunlun Ruins?

Considering that Kunlun Ruins had a similar history, Chu Wuji felt that his worries were not groundless.

He did not enter the capital, but stopped in the territory of the Lihuo Mountains and asked:

"Why did you follow me here? Saint, don't you want to chat with your old friend?"

The Kunlun Saint wanted to use the little princess as a shield, but she discarded the excuse in her heart and said frankly:

"We've only chatted for a few sentences, that's enough. If we continue, it's going to get unpleasant. It's better to stop now~

It just so happens that I also want to come and see where Xiao Wan'er lives."

The Jade Girl did not understand the delicate thoughts of those people, she asked in confusion:

"It's going to get unpleasant after just a few words? How dare they be unhappy with you, Third Sister?"

The Kunlun Saint sighed in her heart, she really didn't know how to explain to her that the Jade Girl had grown up in the Kunlun Ruins since she was a child, and her cultivation methods mostly involved studying ancient ferocious beasts, which made her temperament even more wild.

She can go around in circles to tease her opponents, but she can never go around in circles to think about interpersonal issues.

But when it comes to interpersonal issues, perhaps the strange thing is that Huaiyan herself has already entered the immortal gate, so it would be strange for her to be entangled in interpersonal relationships, right?

"Then Saint Lady and Jade Lady, you guys keep bothering the little princess by yourselves. I'll go back and rest first." Chu Wuzhi said politely.

What did I just say? I was just thinking about the Jade Girl's wildness, and Chu Wuji also did this... Kunlun Saint shook her head:

"...It seems that those who have had too much contact with ancient beasts tend to develop this kind of temperament."

The Jade Girl seemed to understand something and said:

"Third sister, this is what you call a favor, right? If you just soften your tone, it will be considered humane!"

"Your polite remarks will only make it seem worse."

The Kunlun Saint was about to elaborate on the topic, but she was afraid that it would go on and on and not be clear, so she interrupted him in time.

Bai Sujin hid herself in her sleeves, went to her sister's side, and said:

"Xiaoqing, you almost became like this. Think more and learn more, don't be so stubborn!"

Aunt Green Snake was wondering how this could be linked to her. She asked:

"What will it become? Mysterious and nagging like a saint?"

"Jade maiden."

"What's wrong with what the Jade Girl said? She even softened her tone. Isn't that humane enough?" Aunt Green Snake frowned.

"......Ah." Bai Sujin felt extremely tired.

Chu Wuji is not really that aloof. If he just walked away, it would be embarrassing to ask others for help in the future.

Judging from the current situation, he will definitely have to come into contact with Kunlunxu again in the future. If he shows the coldness to these two giants now, he will be the one who will be embarrassed in the future.

Chu Wuji hadn't been paying attention to the Kunlun Saintess's affairs just now. Now he started thinking and gradually understood her meaning:

"The Saint Lady said she was unhappy because she was afraid that the clan members would start talking about seeking immortality and practicing cultivation, right?

Once you open your mouth, the relationship changes. It’s no longer one of friends and family, but one of begging and giving.”

"Correct!"

The Holy Maiden of Kunlun nodded. She didn't want to mention this matter anymore. She never thought that Chu Wuji's words touched her heart.

A large part of the Saint's current cultivation level is due to the skills passed down from the previous Saint, who was also her master who abducted her into Kunlun Ruins.

Although Huaiyan's cultivation is profound, her worldly temperament has not yet been completely worn away, and she often feels a little nostalgic. Unfortunately, there is no one to talk to in Kunlun Ruins.

Because everyone has "shed their worldly desires", they have a good relationship, but they can't talk about their inner thoughts.

Just as Chu Wuji said, if the relatives and friends of the royal family of Tianji Kingdom really asked her for immortality, then the relationship would change and there would be a gap in status between the superiors and the inferiors.

Huaiyan wanted to help more, but she was powerless. Even her own master had to face the day of his ascension.

If you don't help enough, your clan relatives and friends will think you are arrogant and indifferent to your old friends.

It seems like whatever I do is wrong.

The Kunlun Saint knew that this kind of entanglement was too disturbing, but she only felt secretly embarrassed when dealing with old friends.

"Mr. Chu, since you can point out this idea, you should have your own opinion, right?" Her eyes showed a little more expectation.

"No, I'm not an immortal and have never experienced this kind of trouble." Chu Wuzhi answered decisively.

"I've gone around in circles to ignore you. This is what you call human kindness, Saint, right?" Kunlun Jade Girl gave Chu Wuji a thumbs up.

"......" The Kunlun Saint hesitated to speak.

This topic should be dropped, she regretted bringing it up again!

The two female giants who came from Kunlun Ruins took a quick look around the little princess's mansion, found out where Chu Wuji's mansion was, and prepared to leave.

The Jade Girl did not mention the topic of "coming to sleep with the three of us sisters", but she saw Chu Wuji's desire to become stronger, and he would definitely go to Kunlun Ruins to find them again.

Before leaving, the Jade Girl said meaningfully:

"Don't make me wait too long. If I get impatient, it will be hard to talk to you."

Kunlun Saint had nothing to say to Chu Wuji. She touched the little princess's head, not knowing whether she was talking to the girl or herself:

"Xiao Wan'er, if you like staying here, then stay here for a while. When you get bored, you can go back to Tianji Country.

The marriage was an unexpected event that you had no choice in, but Master Chu will give you another chance to choose."

"Well, when will the medical manual be returned?" The princess's slender hand fell on her jade pendant.

"No rush. When you've finished reading it, just ask Master Chu to send it to Kunlun Ruins."

After making sure that no more words were left out, the two girls from Kunlun Ruins walked out of the door of the princess's residence. As soon as they stepped over the threshold, their figures disappeared.

Only after they returned to Kunlun Ruins did the Saint have a conversation with her second sister.

"He visited the Condensate Ice Pond a second time and sacrificed the strange pig he gave you to become the spirit of his ancestors. After a lot of trouble, he left. Are you so sure he'll dare to come again?"

The Jade Girl did not answer. She looked at the Saint Girl with a funny smile and said teasingly:

"Third sister, are you worried that he won't come? So, are you trying to steal your cousin's husband?"

Kunlun Saint Lady frowned, disgusted by this joke, and said coldly:

"You're talking nonsense. You haven't even asked the goddess for her opinion. Let's see what she thinks of you!"

As they were chatting, the goddess's voice came from the snow-capped mountains deep in the ruins and fell into the ears of the two women.
