Fairy, please don't do this!

Ripples spread across their bodies.

Whether Aunt Ruo will return to the Imperial Observatory is still unknown.

"When we return to Yujing City, we'll take another look."

Lin Qingci subconsciously wrapped her arms around his neck and rested her head on his shoulder: "Mmm~ I'll listen to whatever you say, Senior Brother."

At first, she actually wanted to enter the military command.

After all, this way they could fight demons and monsters together with their senior brother, making their relationship even closer.

But when she heard that Mu Yiren had not only entered Yujing before her, but had also become a centurion in the military command, she changed her mind.

With a Dao Realm expert backing him, he was highly valued even in the imperial court.

He will inevitably become a deputy commander of a thousand households, or even a commander of a thousand households in the future.

Although she was also an inner disciple of the Qingyun Sect, her status was at most comparable to that of the disciples of the four great families of Yujing, and she was far inferior to the Dao disciples of the Dao Realm.

In this way, it is highly likely that after entering the military command, he will become Mu Yiren's subordinate.

If the other party feels that her relationship with Gu Jinzhao is too close and directly issues a transfer order to transfer her away from Yujing, then she will be in a very passive position.

Therefore, it would be better to skip the Military Supervisor's Office and go directly to the Imperial Observatory.

In this way, not only can it help her cultivate the "Heavenly Mandate Sword Manual", but it can also help her gain a foothold, build her own network and power, so that she can compete with Mu Yiren in the future.

She, Lin Qingci, is no longer the timid, self-conscious, and bullied ugly duckling she was in her previous life.

In this life, she will stand upright beside her senior brother!

Lin Qingci seemed to think of something, and pursed her lips, her gaze drifting towards the next room: "Aunt Ruo is in the next room... I wonder if she's asleep or not."

Gu Jinzhao was slightly taken aback: "Why are you suddenly asking that?"

Lin Qingci's cheeks and ears flushed slightly, and she looked a little shy: "The three rooms we are staying in are all next to each other."

"And now, there are no restrictions in the room... Aunt Ruo might be able to hear what we're doing."

Gu Jinzhao smiled and said, "I have already set up a protective barrier in my room, so Aunt Ruo can't hear me."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qingci looked up at him with some confusion: "Why did you suddenly set up a restriction, Senior Brother?"

Gu Jinzhao coughed lightly, his expression unchanged, and said, "I want to concentrate on my cultivation tonight and am afraid of being disturbed, so I made the arrangements in advance."

The reason he set up the restriction was naturally to prevent Lin Qingci from sensing that he was not in the room in the middle of the night and then running to Aunt Ruo's place to look for him!

That would give us away!

Lin Qingci gave a soft "hmm," her waist slightly raised, her eyes filled with affection and allure: "Speaking of which... how did Senior Brother suddenly turn his yang energy into fire?"

Gu Jinzhao casually made up an excuse: "There was a problem with my cultivation."

As he spoke, he pulled his arms closer, embracing that soft, delicate body even more tightly.

"Didn't Aunt Ruo use the 'Pushing the Palace and Clearing Blood' method to help Senior Brother regulate his body before?"

Lin Qingci's breathing quickened, her slender hands gripping his shoulders, her smooth fingertips almost digging into the skin of his back: "Is it not working?"

Mentioning this matter, Gu Jinzhao couldn't help but recall the scene from that night.

Si Ruoyu was wearing a moon-white halter-neck nightgown, with two thin straps hanging on her rounded shoulders, and the hem of the skirt barely covering the top of her thighs.

Those long, slender legs, encased in jade-colored silk stockings, gleamed with a lustrous sheen in the candlelight…

The restlessness in my heart, which had not been completely quelled, suddenly ignited like a raging fire doused with oil!

His breathing suddenly became heavy, and his eyes turned even redder.

Lin Qingci noticed his unusual behavior, her beautiful eyes widening slightly: "Senior brother, what's wrong with you..."

But before she could finish speaking, Gu Jinzhao had already pinned her against the bathtub wall.

Chapter 189, Junior Sister in Overtime, Aunt Ruo Can't Hold Back (2.6K)

About an hour later, the candlelight finally stopped flickering.

The room was filled with a delicate, warm fragrance, as subtle as orchids, which lingered for a long time.

Si Ruoyu lay on the bed, staring blankly at the canopy above her head, her pupils unfocused and veiled with a misty haze.

A lingering warmth of spring still graced her brow as she murmured, as if in a dream, "How could this be..."

She never imagined that the causal fate technique left behind by her master, Xuan Yi, was actually a method of empathy.

Without a doubt, from the previous [Red Phoenix Passion Seal] to the current method of empathy, it was all a pre-arranged scheme.

Every step was meticulously planned, every link was interconnected, all waiting for Gu Jinzhao to return, and then to gradually draw her into that immoral vortex.

From the very beginning, the master deduced that Gu Jinzhao was able to exorcise the [Red Phoenix Passion Seal].

The real method is this empathy.

This method uses the art of cause and effect to blend the five senses of two people together, allowing them to feel the same way in body and mind.

The five senses are sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch.

To resolve this issue, unless one's spiritual level is higher than the spellcaster's, it is impossible to separate the causal relationship of the five senses that are intertwined.

What level of cultivation is Xuan Yi?

That's a first-class item.

Even though only a remnant soul remains, the causal fate spell it casts still requires at least a third-rank sorcerer to neutralize.

Si Ruoyu herself was a third-rank cultivator, and indeed had the ability to resolve this fate-altering technique.

But what will be the cost?

To return to the third rank, the power suppressing the black robe must be released.

Once the seal is broken, the opponent will inevitably break through the blockade, directly devour her soul, and seize her physical body.

This is Master's true purpose.

Whether it's the method of empathy or the Red Phoenix Passion Seal, both are forcing her to make a choice.

They either sink into the abyss of immorality or break the seal and surrender their physical bodies.

Si Ruoyu closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and suppressed the shame and anger surging in her heart.

When she opened her eyes again, her clear, bright eyes had regained some clarity, but her expression remained complex and indescribable.

"I need to go to the Imperial Observatory."

In the entire Nine Provinces, there is only one person who can unravel the causal destiny technique of the Xuan Yi.

That was Tantai Xuanji, the disciple of his uncle Xuan Ye and the newly appointed Director of the Imperial Observatory.

……

In the next room, inside the bathtub.

The water rippled gently, and a warm feeling filled the air.

Lin Qingci leaned against Gu Jinzhao's chest, listening to his strong heartbeat and smelling his warm and clear breath: "Has the true yang fire in your body been integrated, Senior Brother?"

In her previous life, at this time, she was still that self-conscious and pitiful junior sister in the Qingyun Sect.

In this life, however, she has become her senior brother's woman.

This may be the end of suffering and the beginning of happiness.

Or perhaps God took pity on her and granted her a second chance.

Gu Jinzhao looked down at her, his eyes gentle: "It's been resolved."

Lin Qingci grasped his wrist, placed two fingers on his pulse point, and carefully sensed it for a while.

Then, she looked at her senior brother and frowned slightly: "There is still embers left."

"If this isn't resolved now, and it accumulates in the body, what will happen if it flares up again next time?"

Gu Jinzhao shook his head, refusing: "I can refine the rest myself."

The last part of the "Red Phoenix Passion Seal" contains too much desire. If you want to completely release it, you need to do it at least once more.

The big head has already been dealt with by Lin Qingci, so naturally, the remaining embers need the help of the ghost wife.

Lin Qingci glared at him, seemingly annoyed but not really: "Senior brother, don't try to fool me!"

"If you had a way, why couldn't you resist pulling me into the bathtub just now?"

As she spoke, she broke free from Gu Jinzhao's embrace, leaned back slightly against the bathtub wall.

Then, she lifted her two soft, white legs and gently crossed them behind her head.

Gu Jinzhao's breath hitched: "Junior sister, what are you doing?"

Lin Qingci gazed at him with alluring eyes, her gaze shimmering with a watery light: "I previously obtained a book called 'The Body Softening Technique' from Leizhou in the Western Regions from a secret realm. It can soften the body and adapt to various sword techniques."

"Senior brother, could you help Qingci with her cultivation?"

Looking at that shy and timid face, and those expectant and moist eyes, Gu Jinzhao finally couldn't bear to refuse.

He reached out and slowly embraced that soft, delicate body.

……

The next morning, Gu Jinzhao, having finished washing up, opened the window and took a breath of fresh air.

We agreed yesterday that it would only be once!

But somehow, it became hundreds of millions of times.

As a result, it lasted all night until dawn!

Just then, a message crane swept in from the horizon and arrived in the blink of an eye.

Gu Jinzhao raised his hand and pointed, instantly conjuring up lines of text: 【The Empress urgently summons you! Return to the Jade Capital at once!】

The sender was none other than Jing Shu!

He knew perfectly well why Xiao Qingyi was in such a hurry to summon him to the palace.

It's simply because she was ravaged by him in the realm of her mind, and was even forcibly kissed in the end. She was furious and wanted to get revenge.

'What a petty, vengeful, and crazy woman!'

Gu Jinzhao thought to himself, "This is what I'm thinking."

"What's wrong, Senior Brother?"

At this moment, Lin Qingci stepped forward and asked.

At this moment, her cheeks were flushed, her eyes and brows were filled with a faint spring-like charm, and her skin had a rosy glow, like a delicate flower that had just been nourished by rain and dew, making her even more beautiful and charming.

"A message has arrived from the capital, ordering me to return immediately!"

Gu Jinzhao did not offer much explanation.

Lin Qingci said softly, "Then let's set off quickly, lest we delay our important business."

Gu Jinzhao nodded, packed his luggage a little, and left the room with Lin Qingci. Then he went to the door of the adjacent guest room and gently knocked on the door.

"Aunt Ruo, it's time to set off."

After waiting for a while, there was no movement or response from inside the door.

Lin Qingci stood behind him, somewhat puzzled, and asked, "Could Aunt Ruo have already gone downstairs to have the post station prepare breakfast?"

"It shouldn't be." Gu Jinzhao pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "Junior sister, go downstairs and take a look. I'll try knocking on the door again."

"Ok!"

Lin Qingci obediently responded and turned to go downstairs.

This post station has three floors.

The lower two floors were already full of people who had accompanied them to Yujing, and only the three of them lived on the third floor.

As Lin Qingci's footsteps faded into the distance, Gu Jinzhao knocked on the door again, but there was still no response.

He frowned slightly, turned around and went back to his room, opened the window, and jumped out.

On ordinary days, Aunt Ruo would get up early to take care of everything.
