Fairy, please don't do this!

"The gatekeeper said he hadn't left since returning from the morning court session, so why isn't he in his duty room right now?"

Yu Fengzhi looked up from behind the files, her charming face showing no sign of anything amiss: "Brother just returned, looked at a few files, and then left in a hurry."

Lin Qingci looked slightly puzzled: "What file?"

Yu Fengzhi explained, "Recently, several unsolved cases have occurred in Yujing City, which should be the work of demonic cultivators."

"My brother is always decisive and efficient; he must have gone to arrest him."

Lin Qingci tilted her head slightly, a hint of suspicion rising in her beautiful eyes: "But I just asked the gatekeeper, and he said that my senior brother entered the house at noon and hasn't come out since."

"This military command post is surrounded by high walls on all sides. Surely you, Senior Brother, can climb over the walls and get out?"

Yu Fengzhi shifted her body further into the chair, her blush becoming even more pronounced: "Brother usually goes to capture demons quietly."

Lin Qingci didn't press further: "May I wait here for my senior brother?"

"Of course... um—"

Yu Fengzhi unconsciously raised her hips slightly, pressed herself tightly against the back of the chair, and slowly sat down.

Her jade-like legs unconsciously crossed beneath the skirt, the sheer stockings clinging tightly to her skin, wrapping from her thighs all the way to her ankles.

The two black ankle boots on his feet were not on and were still lying under the table.

The red silk foot, suspended in mid-air, swayed up and down with her slightly rapid breathing. Her lustrous toes, painted with fiery red nail polish, sometimes curled up and sometimes stretched out, occasionally tugging at the thin, sheer stocking.

Lin Qingci noticed her unusual behavior and asked with concern, "Why is Feng'er's face so red? And why is she trembling?"

"Are you feeling unwell somewhere?"

Yu Fengzhi blushed, bit her lower lip, and suppressed a soft moan that almost escaped her lips: "It's because of the [Reversal of Fate] technique."

"As Sister Lin knows, the causal fate technique in my body has not been fully resolved yet. My spiritual power often goes out of control and impacts my meridians, which causes my blood and qi to surge and my whole body to feel hot."

Lin Qingci moved gracefully and slowly approached her: "I have been practicing the Dao of Destiny at the Imperial Observatory these past few days, and I have been able to begin to glimpse the power of cause and effect. I can help Feng'er take a look."

Yu Fengzhi gripped the file tightly with her slender hands and hurriedly refused, "No need."

Seemingly realizing something was amiss, she added, "Brother has already obtained the elixir for me from the Supervisor. I just need to take it on time every day. There's no need to trouble Sister Lin any further."

Lin Qingci did not return it.

Looking at Yu Fengzhi's increasingly flushed face, her trembling shoulders, and her unnaturally crossed legs, the suspicion in her heart became clearer.

She didn't come to see a doctor; she came to find someone.

But from the moment she stepped into the duty room, something about Feng'er seemed off.

"Feng'er, don't you believe me?"

Lin Qingci had already bypassed the table and walked straight toward Yu Fengzhi.

Yu Fengzhi subconsciously straightened her back, her full chest heaving: "Of course... no."

"Then let me take a look for you."

Lin Qingci had already come to her side, her gaze naturally sweeping downwards.

Gu Jinzhao was not found.

But beneath the white tiger-striped skirt, a section of calf wrapped in red silkworm silk was visible, and the feet were not wearing standard ankle boots.

Of course, that's not the key point.

The key point is that the stockings had a hazy sheen, clinging tightly to her delicate leg flesh, revealing the flesh color of the skin underneath.

Lin Qingci asked in confusion, "Why are Feng'er's legs sweating?"

Yu Fengzhi subconsciously brought her legs together and explained with a blush, "When spiritual energy impacts the meridians, the blood and qi surge, and sweat overflows, wetting the stockings."

"I took them off because I was worried they would feel stuffy and uncomfortable."

Although Lin Qingci was somewhat puzzled, she did not find anything else amiss, so she said, "If it is a surge of spiritual energy caused by the [Reversal of Fate Technique], I have a bottle of pills here that can temporarily suppress it."

As she spoke, she took out a jade bottle from her bosom and poured out a pure white pill.

Lin Qingci had ulterior motives for giving away this elixir.

She had always suspected that the [Fate Reversal Technique] within Feng'er had already been broken.

The reason she hasn't regained her Jiang Tinglan appearance might be that she has developed feelings for Gu Jinzhao and is using the [Reverse Fate Technique] as an excuse to stay by his side.

If the Reversal of Fate technique is still in effect, this pill should then take effect.

If the problem has already been resolved, then the elixir will naturally be ineffective.

Yu Fengzhi looked at the pill in her palm, and alarm bells rang in her mind.

What causal power is left in her body?

The so-called reversal of fate technique was just an excuse for her to change size at will.

If the pill doesn't work after being swallowed, wouldn't that expose the truth on the spot?

Thinking of this, Yu Fengzhi quickly waved her hand: "I have already taken the pills from the supervisor today. If I take other pills, I'm afraid they will have adverse effects."

Lin Qingci shook her head and handed over the pill: "The pills I refine are different from those of my master."

“Master’s pills are meant to completely eliminate the karmic and fate-related magic, while mine are only a temporary suppression. They can make Feng’er feel less uncomfortable and at least solve the problem of the spiritual energy turmoil.”

She paused for a moment, then added, "It breaks my heart to see Feng'er in so much pain."

Having said that, further refusal would seem suspicious.

Yu Fengzhi pursed her lips, raised her hand to take the pill, and put it in her mouth.

Seeing this, Lin Qingci took the opportunity to grasp the snow-white wrist: "I'll help you activate the medicine's power, so it will take effect faster."

With his fingertips touching her pulse point, a wisp of spiritual energy probed in and slowly flowed through her meridians.

Yu Fengzhi's heart was practically in her throat.

But she was helpless in the face of Lin Qingci's relentless pursuit.

Strangely, Lin Qingci quickly let go of her hand: "How do you feel, Feng'er?"

She discovered that Yu Fengzhi's body did indeed retain an extremely obscure force of cause and effect, which was slowly dissipating under the influence of the medicine.

"The riotous spiritual energy has been suppressed."

"Thank you, Sister Lin."

The flush on Yu Fengzhi's pretty face faded a little.

"It was nothing!"

Lin Qingci smiled slightly, turned around and sat down in the chair opposite her.

Yu Fengzhi lowered her eyes, her heart filled with extreme doubt.

The so-called spiritual energy outburst was intentional on her part and could be suppressed at any time.

However, the causal power remaining from the [Reversal of Fate] was not present in her body at all. Why didn't Lin Qingci notice it?

Could it be that the other party has not been cultivating the Heavenly Fate Path for long enough to fail to detect anything unusual?

'That was close!'

At this moment, Gu Jinzhao, who was holding Yu Fengzhi and acting as a human cushion, breathed a sigh of relief.

Why didn't Lin Qingci notice anything unusual just now?

Naturally, it was because he used the power of [ugliness] to conjure up the residual power of the Reversal of Fate Technique, which allowed him to deceive everyone.

At that moment, a soft and charming voice rang in my mind: "My little husband is truly clever. I thought Feng'er's secret was about to be discovered."

"If that's the case, even if Lin Qingci doesn't manage to catch them in the act, she'll still point the finger at her."

Gu Jinchao said with a hint of helplessness, "We've managed to keep it a secret for now, but it seems my junior sister doesn't plan to return to the Imperial Observatory. Does she really intend to wait here in this duty room?"

An Wanxi chuckled, "Is my little husband afraid that his spiritual power will be exhausted and he won't be able to maintain the [Sun-Shielding Banner]?"

"You can rest assured about that."

"At that time, I can use [Evil] to continue to cover for you."

Gu Jinzhao sighed: "I'm not afraid of that, but I'm afraid that my martial uncle won't be able to hold on for that long."

An Wanxi couldn't help but smile: "As long as my little husband doesn't do anything reckless, isn't that enough?"

"I don't want to do anything reckless."

"But the problem is, the True Yang Fire has already been drawn out by my martial uncle."

"Obsession ignited, and I couldn't control my actions..."

Gu Jinzhao straightened his back and subconsciously hugged that slender waist tightly.

"Um--"

Yu Fengzhi's delicate body trembled, and her beautiful eyes instantly rippled with emotion.

Lin Qingci looked at her: "What's wrong?"

The dossier in Yu Fengzhi's hand fell onto the table. She tilted her head back slightly, her delicate body trembling slightly: "The pills that Sister Lin gave me seem to have had the opposite effect..."

"How could this be?"

Lin Qingci frowned slightly, stepped forward again, and took her wrist.

As far as I could see, the spiritual energy within her body surged once more, like a ferocious beast that began to rampage.

"I... don't know either..."

Yu Fengzhi gripped the handrail tightly with her slender hands, leaning forward.

The red silk legs that were once crossed were now lowered, the smooth toes pressed against the cold ground, the supple arches of the feet taut like crescent moons, and the soft red heels rising up continuously.

Seeing how distressed she was, Lin Qingci had no choice but to abandon her probing attempt: "How about I take Feng'er back to the Imperial Observatory and let Master see what's going on?"

"No need."

"It was like this before when the [Reverse Fate Technique] was activated."

"Just bear with it... and it will be fine."

Yu Fengzhi's expression grew increasingly dazed, her delicate voice trembling slightly.

Lin Qingci pursed her lips, a worried look on her face: "Is this really okay?"

"Don't worry, Sister Lin... I know what I'm doing."

Yu Fengzhi straightened her waist, her cherry lips slightly parted, revealing her white teeth and pink tongue.

Lin Qingci hesitated for a moment, but still chose to believe her: "Then I will stay here and watch over you... If you really can't bear it, I will take you back to the Imperial Observatory."

At this moment, Yu Fengzhi was surrounded by bursts of turbulent spiritual energy.

rip - rip-

With the sound of brocade tearing, the white tiger-striped skirt suddenly ripped apart, revealing a delicate and graceful body.

Yu Fengzhi's pretty face flushed even more, her slender hands gripping the table tightly, as if she were enduring some unspeakable pain: "The causal power of the [Reversal of Fate]... has begun to riot."

"I keep getting bigger and smaller... and this cycle repeats itself."

"Sister Lin, could you... please stand guard outside the door for me... and prevent anyone from coming in?"

"If you need help, just call out towards the door."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qingci hesitated for a moment before turning around and leaving the duty room, closing the door behind her.

She hadn't expected the [Reversal of Fate] technique to be so bizarre and difficult to deal with.

To his surprise, the pills he had refined not only failed to work, but instead triggered his condition.

But Master Mingming said that this pill has a suppressive effect on the karma brought about by any karmic technique.

As soon as Lin Qingci left, the light and shadow in the duty room suddenly became distorted.

hum-

A hazy ripple spread across Yu Fengzhi's body, her figure swaying and shifting like a reflection in water.
