Fairy, please don't do this!

In the game, he had never practiced the Heavenly Mandate Path, and this technique was like a book written in the heavens to him.

To be able to understand even a fraction of it is already a sign of exceptional intelligence.

"I will explain it to you, so listen carefully."

As if she had expected this, Tantai Xuanji merely glanced at him before parting her red lips and saying, "Use thoughts as hooks, use the spirit as bait, hear thunder in silence, leave traces where there are no marks..."

She explained it in great detail!

From the perception of causal lines to the guidance of thoughts, and then to how to perform this method without disturbing the other party.

He even demonstrated it himself!

Tantai Xuanji brought her slender, white fingers together, and a thin black and white thread spread out, instantly wrapping around his wrist.

Gu Jinzhao felt a numbness in his wrist, and his entire arm lifted up uncontrollably. He then gently tidied the slightly messy hair at her temples.

The movements were natural and fluid, as if they were performed according to one's own will.

Tantai Xuanji retracted the silk thread and said with a smile, "This is the 'Thread Pulling Technique,' which uses the small to reveal the big and the subtle to understand the profound."

Gu Jinzhao closed her eyes, carefully comprehending the profound mystery of the technique she had just used.

After an unknown amount of time, the sun completely sank behind the western mountains, and candles were lit inside the pavilion.

He slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a long breath.

Tantai Xuanji asked softly, "How much have you understood?"

Gu Jinzhao answered frankly, "Ten out of ten!"

"Ruzi can be taught!"

Tantai Xuanji nodded in satisfaction.

Then he waved his hand, indicating that he could leave.

Gu Jinzhao bowed, slowly withdrew from the pavilion, and left the Imperial Observatory.

When they returned to the Gu residence, the moon was already high in the sky.

As soon as Gu Jinzhao stepped into the courtyard, he saw that the lights were on in the west wing.

Aunt Ruo is back?

He hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward, knocked on the door, and softly called out, "Aunt Ruo?"

"Come in!"

A clear and pleasant voice came from inside the room.

After receiving permission, Gu Jinzhao pushed open the door and entered!

Then you see Si Ruoyu, dressed in a light blue ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress), sitting at the desk, writing something.

The candlelight illuminated her fair and flawless profile, revealing a gentle and serene beauty.

Gu Jinchao sat down opposite her and asked softly, "How is things in the Western Region?"

Si Ruoyu put down her pen and said gently, "The disaster victims have all been properly resettled. The government has opened the granaries and built several sheds, which has finally stabilized the situation."

"The plague caused by the flood has been brought under control with the help of the Imperial Medical Bureau and doctors from all over the country, and most of the infected people have recovered."

Gu Jinzhao breathed a sigh of relief and then asked, "What about the Xuanming Demon Mosquito?"

Mentioning this matter, Si Ruoyu frowned slightly, her face showing worry: "The Marquis of Pingxi has sent people to search carefully along the upper and lower reaches of the Canglan River every day, and even used the tracking treasure, but he has not found a trace of the demon mosquito."

"If we don't find and completely destroy that demonic mosquito, it will surely unleash another devastating flood once it recovers from its injuries, causing immense suffering to all living beings..."

Upon hearing this, Gu Jinzhao seemed to smile and said, "The mosquito demon is dead, Aunt Ruo doesn't need to worry."

Si Ruoyu looked up in astonishment: "Didn't the mosquito demon escape after being seriously injured?"

Gu Jinzhao explained, "That was false information that I asked Lord Luo to release, just to mislead the person behind the scenes."

"Because of the emergency at the time, I didn't have time to inform Aunt Ruo."

Si Ruoyu smiled with relief: "That's good!"

As if she had thought of something, she pursed her lips and said somewhat awkwardly, "By the way, how is the demonic poison in Miss Jing Shu's body?"

That day, the seed of demonic poison fully erupted. She took over Jing Shu's body and, after a passionate encounter with Gu Jinzhao, fell into a deep sleep, only waking up when the sun was high in the sky.

The calico cat told her that Gu Jinzhao had come to her room to say goodbye, but seeing that she was still fast asleep, he did not disturb her.

Gu Jinzhao said with a smile, "The seed of demonic poison in Sister Jing's body has been sealed, and it should not take effect in the short term."

"Aunt Ruo, don't worry too much..."

Si Ruoyu recalled the shameful scene of that night when she was wearing a cheongsam and silk stockings, and being intimate with this child. A beautiful blush rose on her face.

The room fell silent for a moment, and the atmosphere became strangely subtle.

Gu Jinzhao coughed lightly, stood up and said, "It's getting late, Aunt Ruo, you should rest early. I'm going back to my room to take a bath."

Si Ruoyu blushed and softly hummed in agreement: "Chao'er, you should also... get some rest."

Gu Jinzhao left the room and gently closed the door.

Standing under the veranda, feeling the cool night breeze, I suppressed the strange feeling in my heart before turning around and walking towards the bathhouse surrounded by bamboo groves.

When Gu Jinzhao reached the courtyard, he paused slightly and asked in his mind, "When the demonic poison in Sister Jing's body suddenly erupted that day, did you, my wife, notice anything?"

Just now, he suddenly remembered that the Heavenly Mother Sect had a secret method that could catalyze any poisonous spells or hidden injuries.

During those few days, the demonic poison in Jing Shu's body remained stable.

Just when it seemed that the exorcism was about to be completely eradicated, an unexpected incident occurred!

This is rather strange in itself!

Most importantly, Luo Yirao was also in the Western Region at that time.

The other party was the Grand Master of Fate of the Heavenly Mother Sect, so naturally he was proficient in this kind of secret technique.

Therefore, Gu Jinchao suspected that this venomous woman was behind it.

Therefore, it was impossible to hide it from the ghost wife's perception.

An Wanxi's soft, alluring voice rang out: "That day, Luo Yirao entered Jing Shu's room and used a secret technique to catalyze the demonic poison!"

Gu Jinzhao narrowed his eyes slightly: "It really is her!"

An Wanxi asked, "Does my little husband know why she did this?"

Gu Jinzhao said calmly, "She wants to make Sister Jing my woman, and then use us to win over Xiao Qingyi!"

The Heavenly Mother Cult's scheme targets the entire Cangyue Dynasty.

The biggest obstacle was none other than the Empress Dowager.

If he can take it down, he can save himself a lot of trouble.

An Wanxi seemed to have found a kindred spirit, her tone full of admiration: "I never expected that her thoughts would be the same as mine!"

Gu Jinzhao said irritably, "Is this your excuse for not stopping her?"

“If I were to intervene, Luo Yirao would become aware of my presence and might begin to suspect you, my little husband.”

"In that case, it will take some effort to take her as a female slave."

An Wanxi smiled and said, "Moreover, even if the seed of demonic poison really erupts, I can help my little husband suppress it."

Gu Jinzhao sighed and said nothing more.

An Wanxi does indeed have a way to suppress the demonic poison.

Because the [Calamity] among the Six Elements is made by refining [Poisonous Gu].

This substance can not only poison and kill, but also has the ability to devour all kinds of poisons.

Although the venom of the Xuanming Mosquito is extremely difficult to deal with, it can be slowly devoured through the [Calamity].

"My little husband, do you perhaps want me to use the [Calamity] to help Jing Shu devour the seed of demonic poison?"

"I do have this idea, but I know you probably won't agree."

"My dear husband truly understands me."

Why not agree?

Naturally, it was because of An Wanxi's peculiar yandere nature that he wanted to bring about a good relationship between him, Jing Shu, and even Aunt Ruo.

If we use the [Calamity], how can we use the pretext of exorcising demonic poison to have intimate relations with them?

As his thoughts wandered, Gu Jinzhao had already entered the bamboo forest. He could vaguely hear the sound of water, and his steps faltered slightly.

There are now only two female relatives in the Gu residence.

Si Ruoyu and Lin Qingci!

The identity of Aunt Ruo, who was currently bathing in the bathtub in the room, was self-evident.

Gu Jinzhao hesitated for a moment, but still continued to walk inside.

Upon reaching the edge of the bath, one sees a graceful and delicate figure sitting by the pool, washing her beautiful hair.

Her fair skin appeared exceptionally radiant under the moonlight, as if it had been carved from the finest mutton fat jade.

Her shoulders and neck had beautiful lines, her waist was slender and willow-like, and below that were her pert and round buttocks, and her legs, as smooth as lotus roots, were submerged in the water.

Seemingly hearing the noise, Lin Qingci tilted her head slightly, revealing a faint smile: "Senior brother, are you also taking a bath?"

Chapter 366, Junior Sister's Apology After Admitting Her Mistake (3K)

Gu Jinchao looked at the beautiful woman before him and was slightly taken aback: "Junior sister, have you finished bathing? I'll come later!"

After saying that, he turned to leave.

Lin Qingci immediately looked sorrowful: "Is Senior Brother still angry with Qingci?"

Gu Jinzhao paused, and subconsciously asked, "What are you angry about?"

"Ever since the incident with the Yin-Yang Heart Lock, my senior brother has rarely spoken to me."

"We met at the mansion during the day, but only exchanged a brief nod before passing by."

"This is especially true at night!"

"Senior brother wasn't like this before..."

Lin Qingci pursed her lips and stepped barefoot out of the warm pool.

In an instant, a graceful and exquisite body was gradually exposed to the moonlight.

Water droplets slid down her delicate shoulders and collarbones, passing over her high, full breasts, and dripped onto the cobblestone ground.

Delicate collarbones and full breasts!

Below her flat stomach, a pair of slender, lotus-root-like legs crossed gracefully, their snow-white skin shimmering with a crystal-clear luster.

Gu Jinzhao remained silent for a long time before finally sighing, "Junior Sister was never this obsessed before!"

"Although she was physically weak, she was gentle and considerate."

"But I don't know when it started, that gentleness turned into control, and thoughtfulness turned into shackles."

Just as Lin Qingci said, he deliberately distanced himself from her after the Yin-Yang Heart Lock incident.

It wasn't anger, but rather a lack of understanding of how to deal with that morbid love.

These words pierced Lin Qingci's heart like a silver needle, causing her face to turn pale instantly: "Qingci really shouldn't have planted the Yin-Yang Heart Lock on Senior Brother, attempting to bind you."

"But I'm scared..."

Gu Jinchao asked, "What are you afraid of?"

"I'm afraid of losing my senior brother!"

Lin Qingci hugged him from behind, burying her face in his back: "Back in Qingyun City, Senior Brother only had eyes for me, and only had me by his side."

"But ever since we arrived in Yujing, Mu Yiren has moved into the Gu residence and is inseparable from you every day."

"Because Jiang Tinglan is afflicted by the [Reversal of Fate Technique], she regards her senior brother as her closest relative and clings to you."

"Madam E of the Wanhua Chamber of Commerce and the Empress Dowager both favor you greatly."
